You sit on the train with Hurain as you wait. It looks like it will be a while. There was a snack cart you remember seeing along with multiple other Conductors on board. Most of them seem like they're staff members or students that snuck out to Melodis last night. It seems there's going to be a wait for now. Since you have Hurain here, maybe now's the time to ask any questions you have.

"This is going to sound weird, but how did you sleep? The fact that me and Gerand both had the same dream about you attacking us with a giant ice dragon has me wondering if something weird is going on."

"So you had that dream too. I thought the both of you were acting strangely. The thing is I also had that dream...only from a different perspective...
That dragon you saw was Leviathan. It is my strongest Note Beast and one I hold close to my heart. In that dream though...I remember it so clearly. I remember seeing myself fight you in that dream. I didn't have any control over my own body at all. I didn't even feel like I was fighting. It was like I wasn't able to control anything happening at all. All I could do was watch as I destroyed everything. When the building caved in, the nightmare was over, but it felt real. It felt almost like I was seeing an actual event from another world. The fact more than one person had that dream worries me as well. More importantly, I think that monster I saw at the very end was the most worrying. It was a towering beast with two heads. It was capable of destroying entire mountains with only one blast of that weird energy. I feel like this is a warning somehow..."

"If all three of us had that dream, it's definitely a warning. As for the two-headed monster, I think I might know what that was, and it's definitely a huge problem. Yesterday I took a trip to the Grand Library to do some reading about the origin of Note Beasts, and there was something about a creature called a Symphony Summon. The page going into more detail was missing, but the page showed up in the dream, stating that the Symphony Summon is a powerful monster summoned by a group which kills its Summoners and then wreaks havoc. There was apparently one used in a war a long time ago, and judging by that dream it sounds like there may be a group trying to summon a new one."

"Hmm...Do you think it might be linked to those thieves trying to get our altar? All the information we have on Symphony Summoning is very limited. I'll have to look deeper into this. Maybe I should bring this up at our meeting..."

"Yeah, this is definitely something you should bring up. I don't think the thieves themselves are planning on performing a Symphony summon, but whoever is hiring them probably is."

"I'll bring it up once we're there. The train shouldn't be arriving until the afternoon. Better get comfortable." Hurain leans back in his chair and sighs as he looks out the window, watching the trees fly past.

As both you and Hurain sit there in wait, suddenly, two assassins drop in from the top of the train! They seem to be after you and Hurain! They both hit Hurain with their knives unexpectedly and he seems to be paralyzed! Hurain is incapable of moving because of whatever sort of thing they put in that knife! Frostoise prepares for battle as you both get ready. You have to protect Hurain!

Frostoise tears off the door with its claws and you both enter in. Three people are standing around the controls of the train with the conductor knocked out nearby. One of them is wearing clothes that definitely belong to an assassin while another is wearing mage clothing. The last has light armor on. Actually, upon closer inspection, these three aren't people like the assassins. They're shadowy humanoids. Their eyes are blue lights a well.
"Hey! How does thing even work?"
"You kids and your fancy gadgets! I have no idea!"
"Errrr...maybe it's one of these buttons?"
"Don't touch anything! You'll ruin it!"
"We've got a couple of visitors! Looks like the assassins didn't do their job..."
"So you wanna fight us, eh? Hahaha! In your dreams, kid!"
"We're the ultimate force of Shadow Warriors!"
"Sound off! Mera, the lovely Shadow Mage!"
"Gera, the amazing Shadow Assassin!"
"..."
"Eh? EHHHH!? Zera, why aren't you doing your part? The pose isn't complete without you."
"..." The one with the armor pulls a lever as the train starts to rapidly accelerate! "...That wasn't the right one..."
"AHHHH! You fool! We're going to all crash into the next station like this!"
"Weren't we supposed to defeat the Storm Guild anyway...?"
"Not like this! We'll all explode! KABOOM!" The three continue to bicker and argue. This isn't good...at this rate, the train and everyone on it will explode once the train hits the next station! You better do something fast!

Jonathan uses either Lash or Grab (depending on which direction the lever needs to be moved) on the lever to put it back in its original position, thus bringing the train back to its original speed. He then sighs.
"I can't believe I'm asking this, but can we fight somewhere other than the engine room? This really isn't a convenient place for any of us. How about in there?"
Jonathan points to the car he just came out of, but doesn't turn around, instead keeping his eye on the Shadow Warriors.

Jonathan returns the train to its original speed as all three of the Shadow Warriors stare at him for a moment before he speaks.
"What? In there!? THIS PLACE IS FINE! DON'T BE RUDE TO YOUR ELDERS, THAT'S A LONG WAY TO WALK!!!"
"No, no, the boy's right. This is no place for a great battle. WE MUST BE ON THE ROOF!!!"
"...I think the train car is fine. Let's go where he wants."
"You kids don't know a trap when you see one, eh? This kid's gonna lead us in there and then we'll all be falling right of the train!"
"UNBELIEVABLE! How could you dishonor our great battle so!?"
"I'm gonna whoop your sorry ass into next week! Heeehahaha!"
"...This isn't a good place to fight."
"To the roof then! Onward!"
"My back hurts! I ain't going up there!"
"Well we can't stay here!"
"...Let's follow him."
"NONONO! It's a trap!"
The arguing continues...

"Why would a set a trap that would make me fall off of the train too? For that matter, how would you fall off the train from inside of it? Look, there are three of you here. In as crowd of an environment as this, you would be getting in each other's way. Meanwhile, me and my Note Beast also wouldn't have enough space, making it inconvenient for me as well. Finally, if we fight in here there's going to be a good chance that somebody accidentally hits that lever again and ends up killing us all."

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO SONNY BOY!"
"Shut up, you old hag! We're fighting on the roof!"
"I'll break a hip if I have to leave this room. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO WALK ALL THE WAY TO ANOTHER TRAIN CAR!?"
"...This is going nowhere."
"The roof is a prime location for a battle with a great warrior."
"Hey, Zera, do me a favor and just hit that lever again."
"Are you trying to get us all killed, you hag!?"
"...Maybe I should try another button."
"Am I trying to get us killed!? You want us to go on the roof of a moving vehicle!"
"At least I'll die with style!"
The arguing continues as the armored shadow starts to look around at the controls.

Jonathan pulls Zera away from the controls with Grab and Frostoise uses Frozen Claw on him.
"That's it, enough arguing! If you can't decide, we're fighting right here!"

The Shadow Trio gets back up after the battle. "I won't forget this! We shall meet again in BATTLE!"
"You crummy little...I'LL GET YOU KIDS!"
"...We were crushed..."
The three disappear and you can tell they have left the train. You let out a sigh of relief and look out the window, seeing the academy coming into view. It looks like you're almost there. You help the conductor regain conciousness and he gets back to work, thanking you and handing you 100 Gold as thanks! You leave and check on Hurain to make sure he was unharmed. Thank goodness, the armadillo protected him. Who were those assassins though? The bodies are all gone now. Those shadow people left before you could interrogate them. Something strange is definitely afoot.
