Nova Express
Until recently, the engines hauling souls back and forth from the Gravestar were seen as being controlled by some dark and terrible master (or masters). The truth is that the Skull Trains are those dark and terrible masters.

They stretch out across the skyline, six miles long and fabricated from black steel and malevolent intentions. Grinning mouths, pinpoint-killer eye sockets and corpse-cutter teeth. The trains keep their own time, rollin' along, endless and omnipresent.

Skull Train hisses, steam billows out in foul-smelling coils.

* FOOLS. ALL FOOLS. HOW DARE THEY OPPOSE OUR MIGHT? OUR RULE IS ETERNAL. *

The corpse-cutters gnash and grind. The sockets shine with fierce red light.

* FOOLS. AWAY WITH YOU ALL. *

The supplicants lay across the track and the Skull Train proceeds, crushing them all beneath its wheels.

Freedom.

Also known (by a small circle of friends) as "Cthulhu Coffee," the Nova Express Cafe is a cute little establishment whose walls are covered in comic books, who's tables look like they came out of the Legion of Doom headquarters (the Superfriends baddies, not the wrestlers) and even a 12 foot tall plush Cthulhu. It roxxors my soxxors

It's also a Burroughs novel...I believe that's where the term "heavy metal" comes from.

I believe you are correct, sir.

And if I'm thinking what you're thinking, I know where you're going with this... :)

No. Not ninjas.
The super secret enemies of the ninjas. The ones you almost never hear about.

The WHITE ninjas known as aldfqoweni[ago[n aq03493

There are no white ninjas. Go about your business.

There was some weird-ass anime I saw once where whenever anyone died, their souls would leave their bodies in the form of glowing birds that flew into a giant floating ship of some sort. They never explained what the deal was with that whole thing.
