It leaps onto the back of the train, clamping on with a set of vicious black claws.

Danu had managed to get aboard too as the train pulled away, managing to step up near the handbrakes of a few of the freight cars. Setting the handbrakes might slow the train down at least, but more likely the cars would just skid down the rails and be damaged. She'd have to climb over the car tops to the locomotive to try and talk to the driver.

"I... Don't think we need to resort to explosions. I mean, come on, it has one arm now."
The dark construct lunges at Umbra, resulting in its remaining arm getting severed by a counterattack. "͟R̢rg̀h́!̕.͠..̢ T҉his ͟is̢n͡'t ͘o͞ver͢!"͞
"I think it is, actually." Umbra forcefully pushes it back towards the armed Avali with a blow in the chest from the staff end of his glaive.

// Novakids apparently are a thing, now too. I'll take it, though- it makes sense that at least one other Starbound race would find their way here after the Glitch.

It's a hit.
The construct slouches over. "Hh̢.̢.. I...̧ ̵W̕o͟n̛'t҉ ̛g̷i̸ve̕ ́up..̀.̨"
It dissolves like its arms did, the crystals on its shoulders shattering into colorless shards.
Umbra 'phases' back. "Well... Guess that's over with... So, uh, where is this train even heading?"

"Sounds like you never get a break. You must have seen some pretty intense shit over there." The Avali fallows closely, and monitors the doors of the car.
