Zaram.
The time has come. You're with me now.
As the power of darkness wanes...
I now have my greatest opportunity to act.
This wasn't my place to die after all.
That's all there is to it.
Grita...
I will save you, so wait for me.
Then you and I can take over the Shadow Line,
and rule over all darkness.
ToQGers...
Stay out of the way.
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...
Are you going to fight us?
Not if you back off quietly.
But... we can't leave without you!
Then...
I'll make you leave...
by force!
ToQ Change!
Now transforming.
Akira, what happened?!
It's from when you got the Drill Express back, right?!
Did you make a deal with Schwarz?
It's already done.
Just forget about me!
There's no way we can do that!
If it was to get the Drill Express back, then we're partly responsible!
No! I did it because it needed doing.
Besides, Schwarz is after Emperor Zed. You people don't lose anything!
Tokatti!
This isn't about losing or gaining!
- Thanks...
There's no way you'd really want to leave the Rainbow Line!
You said that you wanted to protect the rainbows!
Akira...
The name's Zaram.

Station 40 Who is He? He's Who?
Akira...
Station 40 Who is He? He's Who?
You're... really not coming back?
Akira!
Enough, ToQGer.
It should be obvious that Zaram is serious.
Schwarz!
Come, Zaram.
Why are you all so upset?
This is just my business.
It doesn't change much for you at all.
Tokatti...
You promised to fight me if that's what it came to, right?
It's a pinky swear.
Wait! I didn't know that was what you meant!
A promise is a promise.
We've no time for idle chit-chat.
We'll ram the Castle Terminal.
Is this gonna work?
The Darkliners have less power during the darkness drought, too.
I've been storing darkness for this occasion.
Makes sense...
What's the matter?
I always intended to keep my promise,
but it feels strange now that I'm actually doing it.
Your blood boils for battle, eh?
...Maybe.
You're the same as ever.
Let's begin.
Pursuing Darkliner
Hey...
I thought maybe Akira would say he was lonely on his own,
but he's not really that kind of guy, is he?
Huh?
Yeah...
You mean how he said him being gone wouldn't change much?
That really was strange...
We must not mean as much to Akira as we thought.
Come on... that can't be!
I mean, that's possible, but...
I don't think Akira...
even understands why we would want to stop him from leaving.
Even if he feels bad about leaving...
he might not realize that we do, too... I think.
Isn't it natural to feel sad about a friend leaving?!
But it's not natural for Akira, because he was a Shadow.
This "friendship" you speak of...
makes no sense to me.
If they really are going to be going after Zed...
then he doesn't need to worry about fighting us.
That doesn't mean—!
Still... it's not like we can really explain how we feel.
We bring Akira back, no matter what.
That will be the best explanation for him.
I think so.
Your Majesty...
you may have told me to stay away, but I cannot stop worrying!
Again?!
That was—!
Something is wrong!
Forgive me, Your Majesty!
What?!
Grita!
Grita! You were able to surface on your own!
You cur! Where is His Majesty?!
Your Majesty!
I don't believe it...
The power of the Emperor has grown so weak Grita was able to come out!
Just wait! Mother shall free you!
Madame Noire! You were scheming all along!
Now, Grita!
Mother, wait.
I cannot leave His Imperial Majesty.
What?! What are you saying?!
This may be your only chance!
Do you realize how long I've waited—?
I am sorry, Mother. I know you were trying to save me all along...
but I simply cannot!
Why, Grita?! Explain!
Your Majesty?!
Noire...
Tough luck.
What did you tell Grita?
Not a thing.
But...
it seems like she wasn't just goofing around inside of me.
She's a smart girl, you know...
Yeah.
You pulled off some nice shining with her.
Which is why...
you need to back off.
Your Majesty!
The Darkliner entered a Shadow Town!
We know where it's located!
Right!
On it.
Schwarz! Zaram! Why are you two here?!
Zed—!
Miss Grita!
Zaram... you clown—!
Zaram, why side with Schwarz after all this time?!
You senseless fool!
Now, Zaram!
Yeah...
ToQ Change!
Now transforming.
ToQ #6!
With the power of darkness at it's nadir, the Rainbow Line's power will be stronger!
This is why you brought Zaram?!
That's quite a clever plan, General!
This is the most fun I've had in a while...
Majesty!
Zaram—!
Come with me...
You won't escape!
Son of a... you made me waste a bunch of power.
Still... this would be a good chance.
This time I'm gonna use your power.
What?!
That's Zed's Darkliner!
- Akira?! - It's him!
Akira!
- Akira?! - Akira!
- Akira?
Akira! Say something!
Zaram?!
The Emperor's still inside his train?
That was Schwarz's Darkliner...
What's going on?
Zed!
What—?!
Akira, pull it together!
Akira!
Wha—?
Now untransforming.
Yo.
Hey!
Where are we going?!
- Zed...
No way...
Zaram?!
Then the Emperor was ToQ #6?!
Now transforming.
ToQ Change...
He traded places...
Oh my!
Come to think of it, #6 even works when Ticket uses it!
Then where's Akira?
What happened to him?!
Hey! Answer us!
Zed!
What are you doing here—?
With darkness as weak as it is now...
everybody's been getting on my case, y'know?
Figured it'd be nicer over here.
Sorry, but this train isn't equipped for refugees!
What should we do?
We have to go after that Darkliner...
Yeah. Akira's on that one.
But with Zed on board...
No way... Grita?
Oh my!
Fwishh...
Zed...
What's going on?!
ToQGers... I must ask for your help.
Please... stop General Schwarz.
The darkness has grown even weaker...
What is this?!
Marquise...
His Majesty has—!
I've an inkling to what happened...
This shaking, again?
The thing I had feared is happening...
We have no time to spare!
Nero, we're moving out. We must retrieve His Majesty immediately!
Aye!
Hang on...
You mean you're going to stay inside of Zed?
Yes.
Why? Schwarz is trying to free you...
I know.
It makes me happy. I honestly wish I could see him, as soon as possible.
I want to go to him...
Then why...
It's dangerous.
If I am freed from His Majesty, something dreadful will happen...
to both the Shadow Line...
and you humans.
I never imagined the Emperor would seek refuge within the Rainbow Line...
Makes sense that he'd be hard to take down.
We were so close...
yet I could not save her.
Miss Grita!
I've never seen you do anything for someone else before.
I thought that aid and being aided were unnecessary.
You and I have always preferred solitude.
Even when fighting at someone's side, we've done so as individuals.
That hasn't changed.
True...
But I believe solidarity and having someone you wish to protect are separate matters.
So she's your rainbow, huh?
I guess you have changed.
What's wrong?
Are you lost?
Meowmeowmeow!
You're such a cutie!
Though you've changed in some ways, your odd habits certainly haven't.
Akira!
- Akira! - Akira!
You're okay...
Thank goodness...
ToQGers. Where is the Emperor?
We've got him.
...not that we want him.
But I'm not sure you can call who we have the Emperor.
In any case, hand him over.
Wait! We have a message for you.
It's from Grita.
What—?!
Black Iron Transformation!
Zaram! Where is His Imperial Majesty?!
Tell us now!
I dunno.
That's impossible!
Akira!
ToQ Change!
Crows!
Guys, I'll handle the robot!
Take care of things!
Hyper ToQ #1!
Come on, Hyper Express!
The train is now arriving.
Hyper Express!
Cutting through!
Tokatti!
Okay!
Shooting!
Hyper Express Transformation!
All aboard Hyper Express Emperor!
Hand Launcher!
ToQ #1, you know where the Emperor is, don't you?!
What are you guys in such a rush for?!
What's going on?!
It's no matter to you! Return His Majesty!
I think not!
Let's go, Zaram!
Yeah.
Take this!
General!
I must speak with you...
I never intended...
to ask anyone to help Grita or myself.
But to save her... I need help—!
Madame Noire...
Hey, Grita...
That General of yours came for you,
and you're still not gonna leave?
It is the best way to protect General Schwarz.
I gotta say...
you shine like crazy.
What the—?
No! ToQGer, move!
You're the one who started this fight!
Hyper Express Emperor! Giant Flash!
You're finished!
Okay...
Guys!
Castle Terminal is—!
What the—?
No way...
Isn't that—?
Our... Secret Base...
Secret Base
That's our town...
Pleiades' Shore...
Next Station
Next time...
We found our town!
Zed! I will free Miss Grita, no matter what the cost!
Just wait! I'll save your town!
Station 41 The Battle of Christmas
Akira!
Be sure not to miss your train.
