At the 999's latest stop, Deadwood Mountain, Tetsuro and Maetel meet Prider, a poor singer who seeks to board the 999 so he can become a famous singer. When Prider doesn't have enough money to board, he borrows money from his girlfriend Alice and buys a ticket on the 999. Tetsuro gets upset at Prider for abandoning his girlfriend after all she did for him. The 999 is approached by the Valkyries, a group of witches, and three of them board the train.
À Deadwood Mountain, un jeune homme nommé Prider est arrivé en train afin de gagner de l'argent pour sa petite amie Alice grâce à la musique. Tetsuro se sent mal pour sa petite amie, mais ne le dit pas. Il s'énerve contre Prider, qui ne cesse jamais de chanter. Pendant la dispute, Tetsuro se souvient comment il a obtenu son laissez-passer de Maetel. À ce moment-là, le 999 est pris en otage par un horrible duo mère-fille connu sous le nom de Valkyries.
