I- Impossible!
I had almost 50 guards... and this guy took them all out!
This is... the power of Chrono Numbers!
Leave here before the night is over...
if you have any desire to continue living...
Black Cat is supposed to be a merciless eraser...
Why would he-?
That's how it always starts... under the azure sky
After making a vow, I now set off
Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue (The wind is scorching)
I'm searching for a diamond flower (I keep on wandering)
Now, for the first time in my life,
I live for someone else
There's something I wanna protect
I'll never, ever lose it again
Resound, my heartbeat!
A heartbeat smaller and fragile, but tougher than anyone's.
Cat Makes a Decision
We found no trace of the target at Torneo's burned-down mansion.
It's possible that the target is still alive.
Yes... Understood. We'll continue to investigate.
How're you feeling? This isn't a hospital,
so you can't just lay in bed forever!
Don't say it like that.
I more or less know the situation, but you're being too reckless.
Well, then, I'll leave the rest to you.
Yes, ma'am!
And, this girl...
You need to have a good talk about what you're going to do with her as well.
Hey, Annette...
If you find out anything about what Chronos is up to, please let me know.
So, what're you gonna do about her?
I've thought about it...
I'm thinking about taking care of her for a while.
What? Taking care of her? Are you serious?
Well... this isn't something that I should get worked up about, but...
It's against my gentleman's code to turn my back on a little girl. And...
And?
There's still a possibility that Chronos is still after Eve...
That's true...
Well, in any case, for now let's rest here for a while.
I can't even move until my wound's healed.
So, I'm counting on you to take care of me.
Okay...
Hey!! Why do I have to take care of you!?
I wouldn't have gotten hurt in the first place if you hadn't gotten me involved!
That's a totally separate matter!
What's the matter, Eve?
Are you two close?
- Huh? - Huh? What do you mean?
This book says that "a couple can fight because they're close".
Th- "The Bond of Marriage"!?
Who'd marry a jerk like him!?
Sven!
I got some information from a buddy of mine!
Just as you thought, Chronos is on the move.
So, they're really after Eve...
Do you want us to leave?
Don't be so hasty. I haven't confirmed the info yet.
Before you rush into things, you've still got some time to see what they're up to.
But... if we're here, you'll be in trouble, too...
Trouble? If you feel that way, then don't come here in the first place!
How many years do you think we've been together!?
Annette...
As soon as I find out what they're up to, I'll let you know.
So, just sit still here until then.
Sven, do you like women like Annette?
Wha-?
She was asking how long you two have been together, so...
We're not dating! Who'd date an old woman like that!?
Who'd you say was a beautiful old woman?
I did not say "beautiful"...
Hello, Train-kun!
If you have that groggy look on your face, the sun'll laugh at you.
Like I care...
The weather is nice and warm, don'cha think?
When the weather's nice, it makes me feel refreshed, too.
Hey, can I ask you a question?
Hmm?
Why are you working as a sweeper?
Is it... fun?
It's not because it's fun or anything like that...
I'm doing it because I wanna do it!
Yep! I'm just doing it because I feel it's right.
Because you feel it's right...
Belze...
Report to headquarters right away.
They want to speak with you.
No. XIII, you know why you were called here, right?
Your mission was to stop and destroy Torneo's development of nanotechnology
as well as to eliminate him.
It seems the elimination of Torneo
and the destruction of his facility have been completed,
but the bio-weapon hasn't been destroyed yet, correct?
In the report by our secret agents,
there's also information that you might have let the bio-weapon escape.
Furthermore, you seem to have failed to terminate the Cargo gang.
No. XIII, do you understand the position you are in?
You're surely not saying you don't understand the reason why we made
an exception and appointed you as one of the Numbers, are you?
It was because we acknowledged your abilities as an eraser
and your mercilessness that enables you to kill your enemy without fail, was it not?
Why do you not use that power for Chronos?
No. XIII, I will order you just one more time to destroy the bio-weapon.
I will act of my own free will... in a way that I feel is right.
What are you saying!?
Surely you don't mean to say that you're refusing your mission!?
You seem to misunderstand, Black Cat.
You are not allowed to have things such as freedom.
You are nothing but our pet cat.
Know your place, you fool!
Whether it's a pet cat or a stray cat...
A cat acts of its own free will.
No. XIII, no, Train Heartnet.
Am I right to take it that you understand full well the meaning of what you just said?
Yeah...
Heartnet, hold on.
It's not too late yet. Carry out your mission.
As I said... I'll act of my own free will.
I see... That is a great disappointment.
Expect that the next time we meet, it will become a battlefield.
No. I, order another member to destroy the bio-weapon.
And, take care of Train Heartnet.
Yes, sir.
Belze, please continue the investigation on the bio-weapon.
Understood.
So... what are you going to do with XIII?
Would you let me handle Train?
You?
You shouldn't bother. With your ability, you'll be beaten at your own game.
All I have to do is persuade him, right?
You are confident?
I'm Train's partner, you know?
All right. I would like to see things turn out for the best, too, if possible.
Creed, I'm giving you an order to persuade No. XIII.
As you wish...
I'll show you that I can persuade him beautifully...
I promise it...
Belze...
Creed, right?
Please keep an eye on him as well.
That man...
I see something dangerous in his eyes...
Understood.
Hi, there.
Creed...
I was ordered by Chronos to come and persuade you.
Persuade?
You're wasting your time. I have no intention of going back to Chronos.
I thought you'd say that.
How about it?
Wanna have a match with me?
You'll regret it.
Don't be so sure.
His beloved sword, his pride and joy...
Kotetsu...
You won't change your mind?
Just as I expected, Train!
Your agility... and gun skills...
You're the best!
Splendid... You're amazing!!
I always wanted to fight you like this once...
because I wanted to experience your real ability for myself.
Oh, Train...
You're the greatest...
To think you broke Kotetsu with your orichalcum-made Hades...
I really do need you!!
You, son of a bitch! What the hell are you talking about!?
I can see it!
I can see... the door to tomorrow!
I can see my bright future with you!!
What a wonderful day today is!
Listen up. From now on, stay away from me.
Train...
Creed Diskenth, it seems that you failed in your mission.
I'll report to the Numbers.
Standby until you receive further orders.
I guess it really isn't possible for someone with your skills to defeat that guy...
"That guy", you said!?
You barely even know Train, so don't take such a casual tone when speaking about him!
Let him go, Creed!
Bastard, what did you do!?
Really... Don't disturb my moment of bliss...
Trash like you aren't worthy of my gaze...
Train's the only one...
Continue with your mission.
What's with that angry look on your face?
Mason...
Oh dear. I guess you always have an angry look on your face.
Is it about Black Cat?
We put Creed in charge, but apparently he failed.
Oh? Then, Creed was killed?
It was three of our secret agents who were killed.
We haven't found Creed's body yet.
I see... To kill our secret agents...
it seems that Black Cat is serious about going against Chronos...
No, it wasn't Black Cat who killed the secret agents.
It was Creed Diskenth.
Since all the wounds on their bodies were caused by a sharp object...
What!? Creed betrayed us!?
I hope it was just betrayal, though...
I'm thinking about doing a little investigating together with Nizer.
Just as we'd expect from you, Belze...
Creed Diskenth... what're you thinking?
Train-kun, what's the matter? You've got an angry look on your face...
There's something that I want you to hold on to for me.
Something you want me to hold on to for you?
So, you want me to hold on to it... Are you sure?
Yeah. It's something I don't need at the moment.
Wow, this is pretty heavy.
I'm sorry...
What a gloomy face!
If your face is always angry like that,
you'll have a lot of wrinkles when you're old.
W- wrinkles...
Oh, get a load of that worried face!
That face is pretty funny!
Mind your own business!
You're funny, Train-kun!
Funny? Me!?
Yeah, 'cause your face shows what you're thinking!
I won't ask you about it, but it seems that you've gotten over something.
You have a softer look in your face than the last time I saw you.
That's...
Damn! What's with that woman!?
What... what ideas is she sticking into the head of my precious Train!?
That damn witch!
So, they're on the move now.
Yeah...
No. XIII and Creed...
It seems that we need to cast judgment on both of them.
I got a report earlier.
We are close to confirming the bio-weapon's whereabouts.
The information says that some sweepers are sheltering it.
I see... Please continue to investigate and direct our people.
You are going to see Black Cat, aren't you?
Yes...
Are you saying that you are personally going to carry out the mission, No. I?
Regarding XIII's punishment, I also hold some responsibility, so...
Do you feel that responsibility as the Captain of Chrono Numbers, I wonder?
Well, I guess it doesn't matter...
Heartnet...
What changed you?
No. XIII, Train Heartnet.
As proof of your entrance into Chrono Numbers, I'm granting you this...
The ornate gun, Hades.
Let us fight together...
for Chronos and the stability of the world...
Hi there, Train.
Creed!
Whoa, don't shoot me outright.
Shoot you? I abandoned my gun.
You can't fool me.
There's no way that you can give up your gun.
Don't tell me you gave it to that woman!
It has nothing to do with you.
It does, a lot, Train.
You're someone that I need.
Yes, someone very precious... to me...
Why don't you come with me?
Why don't we work together and start a revolution on this planet?
What?
What do you think about this world?
As you know,
one third of the world economy is being run through the secret maneuvers of Chronos.
In other words, one third of this planet belongs to those incompetent elders.
Don't you find that annoying?
Don't you feel like you want to tear down this system, Train?
You want a free world, too, don't you?
Over the past few years, I've sought out and gathered comrades...
Comrades to help me start a revolution...
Comrades?
And, I created...
a team whose fighting ability is even stronger than the Numbers!!
Even stronger than the Numbers!?
That's right!
And, I need you in that team!
Let's destroy Chronos together and start a revolution!
So, that was your goal...
Sephiria!
Heartnet, you remember what I said before, don't you?
I said that when we meet next time, it would become a battlefield.
Wow now, I want Chronos to stay out of this.
I'm having an important conversation with Train.
If you get in my way...
I'll kill you.
Creed Diskenth...
It looks like a festival is about to start...
A festival of blood, that is!
Train, let's you and me make this woman a sacrifice for this festival of blood!
Silence!
So, you are leaving Chronos no matter what, Heartnet?
I'll no longer follow anyone's order.
I'm sorry to hear that...
A soft group like Chronos doesn't deserve Train.
Creed, you should know the fate of a traitor.
When a tarnished mind gains power, he becomes like you...
Whoa, that's not a very nice thing to say.
Is it really that bad to live freely?
You don't want freedom?
Chronos fights for freedom.
However, members of Chronos are not allowed to have freedom,
because...
We, members, have power!
If those with power act however they please,
the world will be in a state of disorder.
This is the last time, Heartnet.
Obey Chronos.
I won't... go back.
I'll punish those who betray Chronos,
using this Christ Sword!
So she's serious...
Train, go ahead and pull out your Hades!
The stars in the night sky are my tears
Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
Please stop time tonight!
Please show yourself, even if just a little
Around the time the first evening star appears, I hear footsteps approaching
The only time I can see you is when the moon is shining
Please let me dream a little
'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning
Even though I know it, I still feel lonely
The stars in the night sky are my tears
You held me in your arms and your passionate lips met mine
Please don't let go of me
I'm about to melt in your arms
But morning is almost here
Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
I pray to you, please stop time
Next Episode
Hi! Saya here.
I didn't feel like going to bed for some reason, so I came up to the rooftop.
But, it looks like Train-kun isn't around tonight.
The moon is so beautiful, it's too bad he's missing it.
There's nothing like knocking back some milk with the moonlight shining down on us...
Saying all this is making me really thirsty.
Ohhh, I wanna drink some milk!
Targeted Cat
Ohhh, I wanna drink some milk!
