Golden Star gives a loud sigh of relief when the train fully stops. He's sweating and shaking a lot, but his smile continues to be as bright as the sun.

"Ha ha ha! I a-actually had everything under c-control all along! Justice always prevails! Golden Star!"

When they wake up the hostages, go greet them and pose heroically while the cameras take photos, boasting about how I stopped the train. Give them a handshake and my autograph.

Spoiler: Golden Star (click to show/hide)

Name: Golden Star
Description: A black mask with a big and very bright golden star covering the frontal part of it. It comes with a black martial arts Gi with a golden belt. The suit also includes a golden cape with a star pattern that is always waving in the wind, even indoors.

Gimmick: Famous [2]: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". This does absolutely nothing remarkable, but maybe it will attract more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic, noncombat actions like: doing heroic poses, heroic entrances/escapes, helping a cat stuck in a tree, heroic smiling at the camera, heroic boasting to the enemy, etc.
Weakness: Fight? [5]: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice! [5]: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

Most of the group wanders back into the passenger cars, intent on waking the sleeping hostages via gentle shaking or passionate emo ballads. HAP Watches them go, something on his mind. He hops off the train and walks down the tracks towards the bulkhead door. He finds it a few miles down; it is effectively an enormous steel wall that has slid into place to block off the tunnel.  He puts his hand on it, looking at it thoughtfully.

"Golden Eagle, are you there?"

"Confirm."

Whats the tunnel integrity at right now?


"The tunnel failed several minutes ago. Automated repair drones are already at work."

"Can you tell me what the cause of the failure was?"


"Analyzing drone data....It appears something drilled or smashed its way out from the inside."

"Was their any sign of Malo?"

"Nothing has been found on either side, repair drones do not report any interaction."

Hap looks from the bulkhead to the ceiling, imagining the vast ocean beyond.

"Keep an eye out for him, Golden Eagle. I don't think we've seen the last of him."





Mission complete! Everyone level up! A selection of available crises to deal will will be coming up soon! Right after this commercial break!

Reminder on what leveling up does, from Da Rules:

Leveling Up: Whenever a Luchador or group of Luchador’s defeats a major threat, the masks they’re currently wearing level up. This gives them one more point to put into whatever stat they want, or to increase the level of their Gimmick or Signature by adding new things or making existing capacities more powerful.

One short hyperjet ride later, Back on the Hand of Fate...

El Ultimo stands before the group as a hologram, looking down on them from his metallic pedestal. His face is set, features visible even beneath the mask, in a contemplative grimace.

Using the train to attack the United States because of the mistreatment of robots. Hmm. He mutters to himself, nodding. Exactly the sort of mad nonsense you can always expect from his kind.

El Ultimo opens his eyes and stares down at the group, his eyes nothing but a pair of glowing golden embers beneath a heavy brow.

I sent you out with the express purpose of capturing this madman and bringing him in. You return empty handed. When given the chance to pursue your target or stay with the train, you said with the train. You ignored your mission, you allowed a madman to escape, you jeopardized your acceptance into this league for the sake of that train. 

His expression softens into a smile.

I could not ask for better Luchadors.

The hologram feed cuts from him to footage of the passengers being taken off the train by emergency personnel and med-bots. It zooms in on tired, but relieved faces.

Never forget what you fight for. Never forget why you are here. To do the right thing is not always easy. It is not always wise. But it is RIGHT. It is JUST. Never forget. Never waiver. You are Luchadors. You are the hope of the world. The feed zooms in on a child. You cannot hear what he's saying, but he smiles and shakes an action figure of El Ultimo about, jumping around at his parent's feet. Do not let them down.

The feed cuts out and the holoprojector shuts off with a hiss. A moment later the intercom cuts on and announces the advancement of all members of the team from junior provisional member to full member of the league.




Days pass, a few fan letters drift in, and your injuries heal.



The danger monitor in your shared room beeps on suddenly one evening, flashing red with white "WARNING!" text. A moment later it displays the following

WARNING!
SEVERAL EMERGENCIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED! ALL LUCHA TEAMS, PLEASE RESPOND!

1. ROAD RAIDERS ARE ATTACKING MOTOR CITY! STOP THEM!
