Okay, Right's tree goes right here!
Hikari's goes there.
Tokatti, over here.
Why—?
- Come on, now!
Ready and... hup!
Feel free to decorate as intensely as you want!
Okay!
Christmas is so great! I love it!
- Me too!
I can do it!
And the Shadow Line's been quiet, too. Hopefully it lasts through Christmas.
Oh my, you should be fine. I can intensely guarantee that.
Fwissssh!
The Shadows are usually quiet this time of year.
But, why?
Well, because Christmas time is when...
imaginations all around the world are overflowing!
The holy night...
A city full of shining lights...
It's the time of year everyone imagines the most lovey-dovey things!
Lovey-dovey imagination...
Dummy! She means joyful times!
I get it.
It is Christmas, after all!
Yeah.
And because of that, the forces of darkness are weakened, and the Shadow Line becomes less active.
Then it should be safe everywhere!
This is gonna be so awesome!
I'm gonna eat a whole cake...
And a whole barbecued chicken...
We should call Akira, too. This is probably his first Christmas.
Yeah, I doubt they celebrate it on the Shadow Line.
Oh yeah! Let's have him help with the decorations!
Here we go...
Huh? It disconnected...
Huh?
Zaram.
The time has come. You're with me now.
You can't have forgotten the matter of the Drill Darkliner...
I need the Drill Express back.
Please!
Very well, Zaram.
On one condition...
You will join forces with me.
When the time comes, you will come to my side...
and act as my right hand.
As the power of darkness wanes...
I now have my greatest opportunity to act.
I get it.
You were waiting for the darkness drought.
Zaram!
You will fulfill your promise.
Yeah.
This wasn't my place to die after all.
That's all there is to it.

Station 39
The Beginning of the End
Station 39
The Beginning of the End
He's gone...
Huh?
Hey, isn't this—?
"How... To..."
"How To Find Shadow Towns With the Drill Express"?
You can find junction points that lead to Shadow Towns with the Drill Express' radar.
I guess Akira wrote it...
But, why? Makes it seem like we won't see him again.
So, that we'll be okay even with him gone—?
Akira!
- Akira! - Hey, what's going on?
- Akira! - What happened to Akira?
We don't really know yet...
- Akira! Hey! - Akira?!
- Akira? - Akira!
The loathsome drought of darkness is upon us again...
Perhaps it's just the mood, but we seem to have lost more darkness than usual.
This won't affect His Majesty, will it?
You have it backwards.
The weakening of His Majesty's darkness...
No, rather, the presence of that certain something inside of him is the real cause.
Majesty! Are you feeling alright?
Stay out.
Keep away from me.
Your Majesty...
Marquise! Marquise!
The darkness just now... His Majesty is significantly weaker!
If only Noire had gathered more darkness...
To rescue Grita...
I must act now.
But... If I'm facing the Emperor, I must take precautions...
Yo...
Grita.
This is intensely strange!
Akira was always kind of a loner,
but leaving these behind—?
Almost as if this hat was the important part!
That's going too far.
I thought something was strange...
The other day, remember how he was in a rush to find the Shadow Town?
Back then...
No matter how tough the choice is...
when the time comes, you have to decide.
Promise me.
I don't understand how,
but maybe he knew this was going to happen.
But, why?
Listen...
I know it's a little late to bring it up, but when he got the Drill Express back,
didn't it seem a little too easy?
True... he was facing Schwarz.
Then...
Something must have happened during that fight?
Shadow Monster detected!
No way! At this time of year—?
The Shadows are on the move!
Run! Hurry!
Isn't that the first monster we beat?
That's right! Why is he back?
ToQGers... destroy!
Now transforming.
ToQ Change!
Sucking up the darkness!
And then... shake shake shake!
Shake shake shake!
Ding!
Open!
I'm gonna crush ya!
No way! Not another one!
Hey, isn't this the Shadow from when we met Akira?
Yeah. The first one we fought together!
Akira...
My job is to protect rainbows...
To keep the rails of the Rainbow Line safe, without anyone knowing.
You would never leave the Rainbow Line!
Sucking up more darkness!
And then... shake shake shake!
Tombstone Shadow?
Shake shake shake!
What is the meaning of this?!
Shake shake shake!
That imbecile serves no purpose but to waste darkness!
Shake shake shake!
He should be confined underground...
It can't be—!
He's using the castle's darkness!
What?!
Your Majesty!
It's nothing.
Marquise! Has His Majesty grown even weaker?
Nero! I shall stop Tombstone Shadow!
I doubt it's a coincidence that cretin is on the loose!
You are to stay with His Majesty.
Aye.
Your Majesty...
For the time being... I can resist your power slightly.
Looks like it.
You should have known this would happen during the darkness drought.
Why did you not erase me?
I don't know.
What'll you do—?
I...
I'm famished!
It's the big eater!
Where are these guys coming from?!
They're all weaker than when we first fought them!
Yeah.
Scope Express, set!
Striking now! Please mind the slash!
Set!
Shooting now! Please mind the blast!
Please mind them!
Rail Slasher!
Okay...
They don't grow big, either.
You're right...
They're kinda like ghosts.
Whew, I worked up a real sweat...
Let's just take a little break...
And a wash up a bit.
Wipe, wipe, wipe...
Akira didn't come...
But... he doesn't show up every time.
His job is protecting the rails, so...
he can't always make it.
Maybe he was trying to keep his distance...
I mean, he always calls us "the ToQGers" right?
Now that you mention it... yeah.
I mean... It didn't bother me at the time...
It just seemed like the way he was.
But...
Maybe we should have said something.
Yeah... I should have asked him what he meant.
We could all say the same thing.
And Akira always did act a little weird.
I never even thought it was weird...
Me neither.
But... in that case, we just need to ask him about it and hear him out later.
The really weird thing about Akira...
is that he's gone now.
Okay, let's get back to work!
Gonna shake shake shake up some darkness...
Shake shake shake...
Shake shake sha—
Ow!
- You imbecile!
Huh? I was able to bring back Marquise Mørk?
I'm real, you boob! How dare you waste darkness at a time like this?!
But... Madame Noire let me out and told me to get to work.
Come...
Hey, thanks!
As I thought...
She didn't take her duties seriously because she was going to strike at this time...
Shake shake shake...
I said to stop!
Whoa, whoa, whoa gonna fall!
Grab!
We fell!
What's going on... Huh?
The bomb!
I'm having flashbacks...
I get it.
He's the one creating the ghost monsters.
Do the depths of your idiocy know no end?!
Let's go!
Yeah!
Now transforming.
ToQ Change!
Please remain behind the white line while waiting.
I'm all dizzy...
ToQ #1!
ToQ #2!

Cutting through!

Okay, this time I'll whip up ten monsters at once!
Stop!
Shooting!

5-Connection Shot, departing!
I will not be done in like this!
I'm all big now!
So, he'll grow giant!
Yeah.
Let's go with ToQ-Oh and Grandpa's gang!
The train is now arriving.
Red Express!
Diesel Express!
Blue Express! Yellow Express! Green Express! Pink Express!
Express Coupling!
Tank Express! Car Carrier Express!
We thank you for riding with us!
ToQ-Oh as well as Diesel-Oh are completing formation.
The doors are now opening.
All aboard ToQ-Oh!
Diesel-Oh!
Absorbing in a big amount of darkness!
And then... a big shake shake shake!
Big open!
No way... he can bring the big ones back too?!
Three at once seems kinda unfair...
That's...
From when Akira was laughing...
Akira may be a little weird...
How about it?
But he was always with us.
We fought alongside each other.
Yeah.
Express Armament!
He always did what he wanted...
but...
He was always close by to protect us.
While I protect the rainbows, without anyone knowing...
I'll keep the rails safe so you guys can get home.
Guys! Let's focus on the battle!
Tokatti, use this!
Got it! Express Armament!!
Coupling complete! ToQ-Oh Car Carrier Tank!
Go get 'em!
Car Carrier Tank Shot!
The train will departing shortly...

Nice try!
But I can keep making more!

I don't think so.
Police Express!
Nice one, Hikari.
Super Express Coupling!
We thank you for riding with us!
Super ToQ-Oh will complete formation shortly.
And now forms the head.
Coupling complete!
Super ToQ-Oh Police!
Now Arriving: Super ToQ-Oh Police Cannon - FINAL STOP
Police Cannon!
I got beat... big time!
- Alright! - We did it...
But without Akira around...
it's kind of sad even though we won.
Akira...
...It was so beautiful.
It was the first time I'd seen such beauty.
I could never create darkness that would blot it out again.
Let's find Akira. We need to bring him back.
Yeah.
We need to show him what Christmas is like.
Yeah!
- Yeah. - True.
Okay!
There we go.
Everyone! We just detected a Darkliner!
It's the one Schwarz was on!
It's too quiet...
This complete lack of darkness...
Is His Majesty alright?
Everything has gone perfectly...
The Emperor will likely never be this weak again.
Grita... I will save you, so wait for me.
Then you and I can take over the Shadow Line,
and rule over all darkness.
Majesty...
General Schwarz...
I shall see my will done!
Schwarz! Stop! We need to ask you something!
I have no time for your questions!
Stop!
Akira!
ToQGers...
Stay out of the way.
Out of the way—?
We're here because you—
- Shut up and get lost.
What's going on here?
I'm working with Schwarz again.
In other words...
I've left the Rainbow Line.
He really did it...
But, why?!
Akira!
I'm going to hold onto this, though.
I need it.
ToQ Change.
Now transforming.
Please remain behind the white line while waiting.
ToQ #6!
Akira... You can't really...
Akira.
Next Station
Next time...
No matter what, we're bringing Akira back!
Please stop General Schwarz.
I will crash into the Castle Terminal!
Station 40 Who is He? He's Who?
ToQ Change.
Be sure not to miss your train.
