"I don't think that toys are supposed to do that." Renathan complained beneath his breath as they moved between what felt like a labyrinth of machines. "That guy... Probably would have killed a lot of the other helpers that would have come here. That's so irresponsible." Auburn trills in response to his griping at all of the right spots- just to fill up the silence. He kept an eye out for enemies a bit better now that he sort of understood what had to be going on. "I bet this place won't even be here in a few months... So shady..." He's still going on and on whenever the next challenge presented itself in the form of a bright light all the way at the other end of the warehouse- towards where Renathan was assuming was 'the back'. At first, Renathan has to squint his eyes at it to even see.
"What is that?"

Renathan looks left, and then right. He doesn't know -what- it is but he knows that it is coming much closer and VERY fast in comparison to what he would expect. He doesn't have anywhere very close to be able to dodge into, so he moves forward- there has to be a place closer to him forward than there was backwards in which to hide. That was when an ear-splitting noise breaks through the air, echoing in the relatively roomy area of the closed-in warehouse. "Auburn!?" He calls out. He can see it now, even though squinted eyes as he holds his ears. It was... A train?
He had no where to go, so Auburn steps in front of him. She glares down the train, but moves faster than it is. Just before it gets too close to them she breathes ice out in front of it; trying to form some kind of barrier between them. Instead; she hits the thing head on with the frost.

Renathan is not capable, in the dim light of the general ambience of the warehouse and also in the too-bright light of the train, of really telling if Auburn's attack was doing anything. He could see her immediately dodge the 'charging' attack of the train, which now was clearly NOT on the ground, but flying around in the air. It rushes just over the top of him and instead simply flashes him in the eyes with a super bright fog light; he was really very lucky with that. He wondered vaguely if it was really flying, or if it was something else entirely. Levitating perhaps? It did seem very agile though...
While Renathan was trying to figure out what was going on and slowly regaining his eyesight, Auburn took to the air. He could hear her in the background wheeling around above him, trying to keep up with the strange train.
"Auburn, Hit it Again!"

The Train might by flying; but Auburn was much more agile in the air. Renathan wasn't going to question it, though he was still too stunned to really do anything on his own. Auburn flaps her wings until she gains the needed altitude and whenever the train twists back around (going upside down as if on some very invisible corkscrew roller coaster track) in order to attack her, she blasts it with yet another stream of cold. For such a small body, her prowess with the cold burst was extremely powerful. The train slows down, and finally freezes over and cracks. It hits the ground and bits of springs and gears fall off and bounce all over with comical sound effects. Renathan swallows, anxiety rising in his chest.
"Maer Gaessh, Auburn." He manages to get out. The Izer lands back down on him again, but she is pretty shaken up as well.

The two make their way, shaky footsteps and all, to the back. They have to clamber over the destroyed train's remains, though it winds up being much easier than Renathan would have thought. He feels a little sad as he moves up and over it, it had a beautiful design. All golden and with black and rainbow details... Like an oversized toy train. The make was quite a bit different than what he would have expected (the ones in his homeland didn't really look like that) but he recognized it all the same. "I really wish there was a way to make inanimate object creatures- that would be so fun to train!" He thought, practically delirious at this point. Auburn clung to his shoulders, and something about that grounded him and gave him strength.
After getting through the rest of the labyrinth, he stands right in front of the 'big red button'. He slams down on it as soon as he could get to it; and slowly things began to shut down... "Thank goodness!" He cries out. "This was a screaming death trap, it was! What a nightmare!" Absolutely exasperating, in fact!
