"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." ""Lonely Cat"" "Y- you..." "You're one of Chronos' henchmen?" "I've come to bring you bad luck..." "Splendid..." "You're amazing, Black Cat..." "We have confirmed the death of the target." "Good work, No." "XIII." "I commend you for your very skillful work on this job." "With that dictator out of the way, the village will be peaceful once more." "Now, let us move straight onto your next mission." "This job is a bit difficult, but I think you will do fine." "I probably don't have to say this, but this is also a secret mission." "Make sure you aren't seen..." "Ask Sephiria about the details." "Train Heartnet, I'll explain the details of your mission." "Lib-sama!" "Peace for our town!" "Governor?" "Don't make me laugh, you thug." "Extortion, drug dealing, murder..." "And after committing all those crimes you end up becoming a politician?" "There's no way I'll let you get away with this." "You just wait." "I'll have you locked up in no time." "Damn, if I don't take him into custody soon, I'm gonna starve to death..." "Spaghetti Neapolitan, club sandwich, pancake set..." "Everything's so damn expensive!" "Welcome..." "This is a non-smoking section." "What?" "Here's your coffee." "Thanks!" "Keep the change." "Thank you very much!" "It's the exact amount, though." "Gee, thanks." "Shall I bring you something to eat?" "N- no, thanks." "Well, you see, um..." "I'm on a diet, so..." "Mister, where did you come from?" "Can you guess?" "Sightseeing..." "no, that can't be it." "Oh, I got it!" "You wandered here looking to get a little piece of the action from the governor's inauguration, didn't you?" "A piece?" "We've been getting a lot of those types lately." "They're a nuisance." "Hmm..." "Yeah, it doesn't look like there're any gentlemen around here." "A gentleman?" "What's that?" "A man who never forgets his manners or his pride..." "A Nice Guy!" "Not like I care, but if you stick to a policy like that in this town, they'll make Swiss cheese of you within 5 minutes." "I mean, really..." "Having a gangster for a governor?" "What is the world coming to?" "P- please stop it!" "Those guys again!" "Here I come!" "What's up with this bitch!" "?" "What'd you say!" "?" "Hey, while we're at it, why don't we feel up this bitch, too?" "Yeah!" "H- hey, stop it!" "Oh, she smells good!" "Stop it!" "Keep your paws off us!" "This isn't that kind of place!" "Then, let's make it that kind of place." "S- stop it!" "Let her go, you perv!" "You shouldn't talk like that, you know?" "Hey, give her a break, 'cause she hates us!" "Huh?" "What the heck is this?" "Have some candy and behave yourselves, boys." "Now be good boys and back away from the ladies." "What!" "?" "What!" "?" "Good, that's more like it." "I'll give you each one more as a reward." "Those're nano-machines." "They enter your body and will burn you from the inside using 1000-degree heat..." "Just kidding." "Don't worry." "They're "Gentleman's special jalapeño candy"." "They won't kill you." "All right, chow down!" "Whoa!" "What a feast!" "I'll put it on your tab for you." "You're charging me?" "Yep!" "Live or die, I'll let you choose." "Train, I saw your work..." "You're amazing!" "Your unwavering bullet shot right through his vital parts." "It is surely art." "You and I are the only ones who can kill like that." "You're truly amazing, Train Heartnet!" "I beg of you..." "Please don't kill me..." "Please!" "There's no more left..." "Live or die, I'll let you choose." "Just as I expected, it doesn't look like I can do it outside..." "I'm Lib Tyrant." "I've become the new governor thanks to your support." "God bless all those who supported me!" "As expected, the security's tight here..." "Ooops, it slipped..." "Sorry..." "This great day will be forever engraved in history as the day that I, Lib, brought peace to this land..." "Looks like my chance is when the governor leaves his seat..." "What an unfriendly brat..." "Now, I'd like to make an announcement to everyone." "I'd like to introduce you to my fiancée, Joanna." "We're going to get married next month!" "Just like our love, the peace in Blakio City is forever indestructible!" "Peace for our land, and Lib for your governor!" "I, Lib Tyrant, aim to serve as your governor for a long time!" "Hail Governor Lib!" "Marrying a gangster, huh?" "Hurrah!" "Geez, what a pain in the ass..." "L..." "Lib's gonna be killed?" "There's no mistaking it..." "My right eye, the "vision eye", foresaw what'll happen 5 minutes from now..." "In 5 minutes, Lib won't be with us any longer..." "I have to take Lib into custody before he comes..." "Don't move!" "Who are you?" "Just don't get tough with a tax payer." "H- hey!" "Wait!" "Shit!" "The "vision eye" really uses a lot of energy!" "Sorry!" "I'm in a hurry..." "Looks like Lib's security's still tight..." "Two more minutes..." "Time is running out..." "He's definitely in this hall..." "The assassin who's after Lib..." "But, is it really possible for him to kill Lib while he's in this hall?" "Even if he could kill Lib, there's no way for him to escape..." "No, instead of thinking about the assassin," "I'd better think about how to take Lib into custody with the seconds that remain." "Thanks to the use of my "vision eye" earlier, I'm completely exhausted..." "There's no way I can overpower Lib's bodyguards... and I've already used the sleeping gas..." "Is there any way I can come out ahead in this situation?" "No, I can't be discouraged..." "If I fail in this job, I won't be able to pay the car loan." "On top of not being able to eat," "I may end up not having enough money for cigarettes!" "What!" "?" "Well, then, I'd like to ask the governor to give us one last comment." "Governor Lib, please!" "Shit!" "Damn it!" "This is no joke!" "If I don't get Lib before he does, my life will be-!" "Gentleman Dash!" "Gentleman Net!" "Oh..." "Looks like I got caught..." "Rats..." "I've come to bring you bad luck..." "No!" "Hold it!" "Why'd you kill him?" "I was going to take him into custody alive..." "He was a rogue, but you didn't have to kill him!" "Are you saying that a bad guy doesn't have the right to live!" "?" "Get down." "How dare you kill Lib-sama!" "I won't let you out of here alive!" "Die!" "You never saw me..." "Got that?" "Bastard!" "Wait up!" "I lost him..." "Now... are you ready?" "You've made a scratch on that beautiful face of Train's, so..." "What was that!" "?" "So it was my stomach that was screaming, huh?" "I should've eaten more at the party!" "Engraved roman numerals on his chest?" "Then, he's one of the Chrono Numbers." "Chrono Numbers?" "They're Chronos' erasers." "Erasers?" "They're the assassins that belong to Chronos." "That guy who looked like a kid is-?" "Like a kid?" "Did you run into him?" "What was his number!" "?" "Number?" "The numeral engraved on his chest!" "Th- thirteen..." "Get out!" "What's with you all of a sudden?" "Take that and get out already!" "N- no way!" "What about the money!" "?" "You can't get anything for that beat-up watch!" "This isn't some flea market!" "Come on..." "I'm trying to get some money from this to pay my living expenses..." "A black cat..." "Black?" "The thirteenth man in Chrono Numbers, "Black Cat"." "I've been an information broker for a long time, but I don't know anyone targeted by him that's still alive..." ""Antiques" It's a problem if a guy who has something to do" ""Antiques" with a Grim Reaper like him comes to my shop!" "So... you still can't give me any money for this?" "This isn't some flea market!" "Black Cat, huh?" "It's awfully quiet around here." "It was good that the gang members fled town after the governor's death, but it's ruining our business..." "So, Mr. Gentleman, will this be on your tab again?" "Yes..." "What's your occupation?" "I'm a sweeper..." "Dad..." "Dad!" "Mom!" "Let's sing the world's song" "How far shall we go" "Looking up in the sky" "A baby's first cry" "The beating of an insect's wings" "Lightly, lightly, floating..." "Carrying our feelings" "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" My name is Sven." "I'm a sweeper." "I'm a nice gentleman who'll take on even the most dangerous of tasks." "What're you muttering about?" "What!" "?" "Oh, yeah!" "Do you want me to divine your luck with money?" "Lots of people say that my "coffee divination" often comes true." "Hey, hey!" "I didn't ask for a divination!" "Oh, I see..." "You don't have any luck with money, but you'll have an encounter with someone soon..." "Yipes!" "What is it!" "?" "Um, some stuff may happen..." "well, be careful!" ""Confused Cat" What did you see!" "?" "Hey!" "Such a pretty scream..." "What's going on here!" "?" "If you come close to me, your body will melt." "That's how it always starts..."

"A heartbeat smaller and fragile, but tougher than anyone's." ""Confused Cat" Lightly, lightly, floating..." "Lightly, lightly, floating..." "Carrying our feelings" "I'll take that!" "Nothing beats a bottle of milk after singing!" "But, if you're up here just staring into space like that, a crow'll peck your head!" "Are you moon-gazing with your cat?" "Oh, no!" "Does that mean I drank the milk for the cat?" "I'm sorry, but I was thirsty, so..." "Hoooowever!" "It's also your fault for letting your guard down!" "If it wasn't for me, you would've definitely gotten pecked by that crow!" "A boy whose only friends are cats can't look cool at all even when he tries to act smooth, you know!" "At any rate, your friend is late, isn't he?" "Wow!" "That's a pretty gun!" "But why do you have a gun?" "You have one, too." "Tada!" "I may not look like one, but I'm a sweeper!" "What about you?" "We're kinda alike, aren't we?" "I'll take this, too, okay?" "Ah, that was good!" "Thanks for the milk!" "Looks like your friend's not coming tonight, huh?" "I think you've done enough moon-gazing, too..." "See, you got pecked!" "Well, then, see ya!" "Hiya!" "I haven't eaten anything since this morning, so..." "Now, what'll I have..." "You can't put it on your tab anymore!" "I" " I know!" "This is my treat." "Thanks a bunch!" "But, this is the last time!" "Cover my tab with this..." "Like I said, no one's gonna buy such a beat-up watch!" "Why don't you quit your unstable job as a sweeper and start working?" "Well, it's hard to find targets worthy of me, so..." "Being down-to-earth is the best way to live." "You've got kids back home, right?" "K- kids..." "Hang in there, p..o..p..s!" "Bread tastes best with butter!" "Marmalade!" "Strawberry jam, strawberry jam, strawberry jam!" "I said butter!" "Marmalade!" "Strawberry jam!" "Butter!" "Shut up!" "Now that it's come to this, I guess I'll go after some small fries..." "You go..." "I'm... targeting someone else." "I heard that he makes whatever he touches rot..." "Even though it's a 1.8 mil G bounty, it's too risky..." "What a bunch of chickens!" "Welcome..." "And, the guy I caught the other day was..." "What the..." "What!" "?" "What the hell..." "Who the hell is that?" "Hiya, Annette..." "Hey, it's you, Sven!" "So, you're still alive..." "Yeah, somehow..." "What's with the long face?" "Leave me alone..." "Aren't there any good jobs out there?" "Someone already took the big fish..." "Missed it by a hair, huh?" "27,000 gold... 20,000 gold, 15,000 gold..." "I guess I'll just settle with this one for now..." "Tony Kaye for 50,000 gold..." "What the-!" "?" "Hold it, bitch!" "H- hey you..." "I was gonna take that..." "This guy's too tough for you." "Please help me!" "Some scary people are chasing after me!" "Please!" "Help me!" "Okay, I'll kick their asses" "Whoa..." "Ha!" "All that work on your pectoral major muscle was a waste!" "I won't let you get away, you bitch!" "Sven!" "Come on, you bitch!" "Don't give us any trouble!" "Somebody help!" "Man, I'm not exactly running on a full tank..." "It's tough being a gentleman." "Stop right there!" "Now, back away from that beautiful lady, or this gentleman will have to teach you a lesson!" "What the hell's with this geezer!" "?" "What is this, some geezer with a death wish coming to save the day!" "?" "Butt out, you geezer!" "Wow!" "I'm not a geezer!" "I'm a gentleman!" "Now, mademoiselle, let's have some tea, shall we?" "Gosh..." "Thanks a lot for treating me to all this!" "Um..." "I'm Elena." "Please don't worry, eat to your heart's content..." "'Cause you..." "saved my life!" "Well... not really!" "I wonder if those guys really are bad guys..." "They attacked me all of a sudden!" "To take down such scary people just like that..." "You're amazing!" "Oh, that?" "I was just doing my duty as a gentleman." "Would you please give me your name?" "Sven Vollfied." "I'm just a measly sweeper." "You're a real pro!" "Well, I'm not all that..." "Um..." "I would like to ask you a big favor, Sven-san..." "Yes, certainly, what is it?" "My little sister..." "Your little sister?" "I'd like you to rescue my kidnapped little sister!" "The reward is this!" "We're kinda alike, aren't we?" "XIII, here's your mission." "We're kinda alike, aren't we?" "I'm sorry!" "It's been a while since I saw such a huge sum of money, so it was too much..." "What're you doing with this much money?" "I prepared it as ransom money for my little sister." "But if you can rescue her, I'll give it all to you, Sven-san!" "Do you have any clue as to who took your little sister?" "I know who did it." "Then, I think you're better off contacting the police..." "They're a lot more reliable than asking this guy..." "This is someone the police can't handle." "Who is this guy?" "Torneo Rudman..." "Torneo?" "The arms trader?" "Yes..." "Why in the world would an arms trader kidnap your little sister?" "He's actually a gangster!" "What he's doing is just crazy!" "When I think about what he might have kidnapped my little sister for," "I can't sleep at night..." "What poor luck she had, being targeted by such a troublesome creep..." "Then, does that mean even you can't handle it, Sven-san?" "Ha!" "Are you kidding?" "Up against me, someone like Torneo is as harmless as a little baby, mademoiselle..." "Then, you're going to save my little sister!" "?" "Oh, Rins' deeply moved!" "Rins?" "Um, well, I liked the smell of the conditioner that I used when rinsing my hair, and it really moved me..." "Elena's happy, Sven-san..." "You want more?" "Oh, all right..." "So, you like cats after all?" "Good evening!" "Could it be that you came here because you missed me?" "Kidding, kidding." "I see some milk!" "Boy, that was good!" "You saved me." "I was really thirsty." "Could it be that you're using milk to get me to keep coming back?" "So, I was right..." "You don't talk much..." "Why don't you say something?" "Like, "it's a beautiful evening, isn't it?"" "Strange..." "What?" "That's a strange outfit." "How rude!" "This is the traditional dress of Zipang!" "Look, it's cute, isn't it?" "Not particularly..." "In times like this, say "it's cute", even if that's a lie!" "I'll never say it!" "Well, then, I guess I'll get going..." "Going?" "Actually, I've got a job tonight." "A sweeper job?" "Yep." "It's gonna be my first big fish in a long time." "Tada!" "This guy's the target." "Preta Ghoul for 1.8 million gold!" "He's a cold-blooded murderer who's killed 16 people!" "He's an enemy of women!" "He's no ordinary murderer..." "Exactly!" "He's a monster." "According to witnesses, it looks like he secretes corrosive fluid from his hands..." "Because of that, his victims all rotted away..." "Are you sure you can handle him?" "Oh?" "Are you possibly trying to keep me here?" "Or, are you worried?" "Don't underestimate me!" "I can take care of a guy like this with my eyes closed..." "Are you gonna kill him with that gun?" "Killing isn't a sweeper's job." "That's just being naive..." "A gun is a tool for murders." "It depends on how it's used..." "Well, then, I'm taking off." "A- a seventeenth victim?" "Eighteenth victim..." "And here's the nineteenth victim!" "I guess you'll make it an even twenty..." "I'm quite impressed that a young lady like you came to pay me a visit!" "Preta Ghoul!" "I won't let you kill anyone else!" "Are you saying you're going to capture me?" "When I see a woman with a smart mouth, it gets me fired up..." "Where are you!" "?" "Come out, Preta Ghoul!" "There you are!" "You're my memorable twentieth victim..." "Why don't you and me have a lot of fun!" "Why are you avoiding me!" "?" "Oh, no..." "My yukata..." "This was my favorite!" "Why?" "Why don't women ever accept my love!" "?" "I've got so much love to give!" "Now, come into my arms!" "Monster!" "Get away from that weird chick!" "Weird?" "Now, step away from her immediately, otherwise the next bullet's going through your skull!" "To me, bullets just... fall out, like this..." "Oh, it fell out, fell out again, that one too..." "Things like guns are useless against me!" "Useless!" "Is that so?" "My face..." "is rotting, and falli" "Preta Ghoul got arrested!" "Why didn't you shoot him?" "Hmm, I wonder why..." "Well, if I had to say, I'd say because I didn't wanna shoot, I guess..." "I don't shoot if I don't wanna shoot..." "Yes, that's the right answer if I do say so myself..." "Well, then, I'll see you around!" "Don't worry." "You won't melt even if we shake hands." "How are we alike?" "What?" "You said that the other day..." "Oh, that?" "That was, you know..." "It was that both you and I like being on rooftops..." "Huh?" "Really, that's all!" "XIII..." "Belze..." "Why did you ignore the summons?" "Never mind." "I won't punish you this time..." "You've got an urgent mission." "The preparation's complete..." "Are you really going?" "As a gentleman, I can't abandon an innocent girl, can I?" "Be careful." "That Elena woman can't be completely trusted." "It's against my gentleman's code to doubt a woman in trouble, so..." "Sven-san!" "I'm... coming, too!" "What!" "?" "I'm worried about my little sister." "I won't be in your way!" "I wanna save my little sister!" "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"" ""Next Episode" I'm infiltrating the big gangster's mansion right now." ""Why", you say?" "Weren't you watching the show!" "?" "I came here to rescue a poor girl!" "But, that guy showed up again!" "Black Cat!" "On top of that, he's pointing a gun at the girl!" "Hey, stop it!" "Don't you have a heart!" "?" "Looks like they found me when I said that." ""Cat in the Darkness" What's with my life..." "My little sister's at Torneo's vacation home right now." "Vacation home?" "She isn't at his mansion?" "Yes, he goes to his vacation home every second Saturday without exception." "So, he takes his hostage with him to his vacation home on every Saturday, huh?" "Yes... 'cause they just do crazy stuff." "W- we might be pretty crazy, too..." "There're lots of watchmen at the front gate, so..." "The beating [of an insect's wings]" "Lightly, lightly, floating..." "Carrying our feelings" "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 in the Darkness"" "Wh- what the hell is going on?" "He's alive..." "Apparently, they were all knocked unconscious by one blow..." "Sven-san!" "Looks like she's in a room upstairs..." "B" " Black Cat!" "Hold it!" "You again..." "Stay out of my way!" "Not a chance!" "I've got a huge pile of bills, and..." "No, what I mean is..." "You'd just point your gun at a child like that!" "?" "Please!" "Let that girl go!" "This is what I do..." "So, you're just Chronos' pet cat after all..." "Blood..." "This smells of blood." "The game's over!" "Just drop your guns and raise your hands." "Well, well..." "Welcome, my guests." "So the final boss shows himself, huh?" "But you're a little too dangerous to be called guests." "We're fitting guests for you, aren't we?" "This guest talks a lot." "But the smart remarks end here." "Sorry, but I'll have to ask my guests to disappear now." "H- hey!" "No!" "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Wait!" "You're gonna shoot Eve!" "B" " Black Cat..." "No matter how many rats sneak into my place, they'll just become prey for my masterpiece." "It's now morning, but it seems like they're not after us, doesn't it?" "Wh- why are you dressed like that?" "You have to be well-groomed, even if it's just for making coffee." "That's gentleman's etiquette, you know..." "Gentleman's... huh?" "Well..." "Isn't it about time for you to tell me the truth?" "What?" "It's no use hiding it." "You wouldn't refer to your own sister as "that girl", right?" "Also, why would Black Cat be after your little sister?" "You don't have to think very hard to realize something's odd, right?" "I've known that something was up ever since you told me that she was kidnapped by Torneo..." "Miss Rinslet Walker, the ace female thief..." "Now that you've figured it out, I guess I have no choice..." "Well done, Sven Vollfied, ex-IBI agent..." "So, what are you after?" "That girl is the ultimate bio-weapon." "Bio-weapon?" "Are you familiar with nanotechnology?" "I've heard of it..." "There's a type of engineering that uses micro-robots called nanomachines, which are a nano-meter in size." "That's nanotechnology..." "It was supposed to be used for things like helping to overcome intractable diseases by altering the structure of DNA, and creating new materials by rearranging molecules, but..." "But?" "You've heard about that military facility that collapsed a few years ago, haven't you?" "If I remember correctly, an ammunition dump within the facility exploded, right?" "The one that caused the deaths of more than 10,000 people..." "That was a tragic accident..." "What if it wasn't an accident?" "You don't mean!" "It was Torneo who caused that accident." "His goal was to steal nanotechnology that was sealed within the military facility, and to have it traded as a military weapon..." "No way." "Are you saying he caused that many deaths for that?" "Then-!" "That's right." "The ultimate bio-weapon created using that stolen nanotechnology is..." "That girl..." "Eve, huh?" "And, your goal would be to steal that nanotechnology data, huh?" "Of course!" "What else would it be!" "?" "If I take that data back to the military, I'll get a huge reward for it!" "This is like hitting the jackpot, don't you think!" "?" "Whatever..." "Hey, where're you going!" "?" "I'm gonna go buy some cigarettes." "Now it's cold..." "So, you're just Chronos' pet cat after all..." "T" " Torneo-sama, please forgive me!" "Please don't kill me!" "The mistake you made is worth the ultimate punishment." "I" " It was certainly my mistake that the intruders snuck in but I didn't expect that Black Cat to come to your secret vacation home." "It wasn't just Black Cat." "You also let two rats into" "Now, hold on, Flit." "If you don't want to die, then run..." "What?" "Don't you get it?" "It's a game of "tag"." "Run, run, run for your life!" "Eve!" "It's time to play a game of tag." "Tag..." "The one who's it has to hunt down the prey." "Understand?" "I am it." "The smell of blood..." "What's the matter, Eve?" "Finish him off!" "This isn't..." "This isn't the prey I'm hunting for..." "Yes, sir!" "No, don't!" "There's still a lot to teach her about being a weapon..." "But, she's a complete success as she can transform in a split second." "She'll be completed soon... soon." "Wh" " What happened?" "Out of the way..." "You..." "What are you doing!" "?" "Go back to your room!" "Out of the way..." "If you don't go back right away" "Two packs of Lamies, ma'am." "Okay." "The question is, what's my next move?" "That girl is the ultimate bio-weapon..." "Tiptoe, tiptoe, tippy toe..." "You are..." "Yes, yes, yes!" "Who are you?" "Who!" "?" "What?" "Young lady, what're you doing in a place like this?" "I am it." "What?" "It..." "Where's Eve!" "?" "Y- yes, sir!" "It seems that she's not on the premises!" "What!" "?" "Flit!" "Yes, sir!" "If something happens to Eve, you know what that means, right?" "She's wearing a bracelet transmitter just in case." "So, young lady, what're you doing in a place like this?" "Where... am I?" "Are you lost?" "Lost..." "No..." "I... am it." "Until I catch him, I can't finish playing... tag." "Oh, I see!" "What are you doing here?" "I dare not say that I'm trying to capture you..." "I just, um..." "you know" "I came to feed the doves!" "'Cause they're cute!" "Feed?" "Well, feed, feed, feed, feed for the doves..." "I used up all the feed earlier so I don't have any left." "I see..." "Wait here." "I'll go buy some!" "Thank you very much!" "Here, ice cream!" "Feed?" "First, we have to feed ourselves." "It's cold and sweet..." "And yet, the sweetness isn't heavy." "The feeling as it melts in your mouth is great and" "Here, use this to wipe your mouth." "This is a weapon?" "Ice cream tastes good." "Hey, hey, if you're impressed with something like ice cream, you're in for a treat!" "In for a treat?" "Yeah!" "By that I mean there's lots of good food out there that tastes better than this!" "Good food?" "Steak, coffee, cigarettes and beer..." "Oh, those're my favorites, I guess..." "Cakes, chocolates, tiramisu, tapioca pudding, annin-dofu" "Gentlemen don't like sweets much, so..." "So, there're many..." "I don't know much about the outside, so..." "Now, watch." "There!" "All right!" "Do you wanna go out for good food some time!" "?" "Good food?" "Yep!" "There's a whole lot of good stuff out there besides sweets!" "Curry with rice, hamburger steak, spaghetti Neapolitan..." "Will you take me to eat good food?" "Yes, it's a promise." "Promise..." "Promise!" "Oh, come to think of it, they were selling crapes at that food stand, too..." "Wait here!" "Now, which one shall I get?" "We're going home, Eve." "Hold it!" "Shit!" "Wait!" "Promise..." "The smell of blood..." "Hi there!" "You're looking better than I thought, Train." "Shall I give you a hand if you're having trouble with your mission?" "It's none of your business." "Did you run into the bio-weapon girl?" "I'm sure it's not the case that you couldn't shoot because the target was a child, right?" "When it comes to Numbers' missions, it doesn't really matter whether the target is an adult or a child." "That's my Train!" "I knew I didn't place my confidence in you for nothing." "If you're done here, get lost already!" "Transform..." "You know what Torneo stole from a military base a few years ago, don't you?" "That's right." "The data about "nanotechnology"." "It's rumored that the attack capability developed using that nanotechnology... is the ability to transform." "By altering the sequence of cells in her body, she can become a "devil", an "angel"... and she can also become a "silent weapon", too..." "That is the "transform" ability..." "You met Eve in the park!" "?" "And, you're saying she was taken away!" "?" "Yeah..." "Why're you so calm!" "?" "Why didn't you bring her back with you!" "?" "Can't be helped..." ""Can't be helped"?" "But..." "There's one thing I found out..." "She's not some sort of weapon." "She's just a girl who grew up in a slightly different world." "Even with nanotechnology, if you use it for good, it'll take you in the right direction." "Torneo Rudman..." "As a sweeper, no, as a gentleman, I won't let you get away with this..." "But it seems that you don't have to fear..." "I heard that the girl isn't actually complete as a weapon yet." "Which means that sooner is better if you want to attack her." "So, what're you gonna do?" "So, what're you going to do now?" "It's easy!" "I'll make a lot of noise so that they'll notice." "Then, Torneo'll probably use Eve..." "So, that's when you'll attack her!" "That's when I'll rescue her." "Then, as I thought..." "I'll head in from the front!" "I'll set off loud fireworks!" "Wait!" "No matter what you say, this is crazy!" "Don't worry." "I have a trump card." "T- trump card?" "If it comes down to it, I'll take a good look at my enemy with both eyes." "Are you nuts!" "?" "What're you talking about!" "?" "Well, I guess I'll go keep my promise!" "That's right, Train." "That's the almighty human that I want..." "Train..." "You're truly above them all!" "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"" ""Next Episode" The super cool thief Rinslet Walker arrives on the scene!" "The super cool thief Rinslet Walker arrives on the scene!" "Rats!"

"Though it's unlike Sven, he's developed a father's love, and even Chronos' assassin is now getting involved..." "If things go on like this, my plan's gonna be ruined!" "How should I put it..." "I just wish life could be simpler..." ""Smiling Cat" How should I put it..." "I just wish life could be simpler..." "That is the "transform" ability..." "She's not some sort of weapon."

"Tighten security so that she can never escape again!" "Yes, sir!" "Really, a hit product always comes with troubles..." "I am a weapon." ""Smiling Cat"" "Okay..." "I see." "Those're some airtight defenses..." "What'd you find out?" "It looks like the guards are all inside of the premises." "I saw more than 10 while scanning the premises." "They've spread out infrared rays above the fences." "As expected, it doesn't look like it'll be easy to get in..." "Then, I guess we'll force open the front gate and make some noise." "What?" "How are we gonna open it!" "?" "Well, just watch." "What're you doing?" "Hey, it's not exploding." "You think I'd just suddenly throw a bomb?" "Okay, so?" "Wha-?" "H" " Hey!" "What the hell!" "?" "Looks like it worked..." "the "here kitty kitty" bomb." "Huh?" "It seems there's some noise out front..." "Wh-what's with all these cats!" "?" "Where did they come from?" "!" "Shoo, shoo!" "Go away!" "Okay, let's make some noise!" "This is ridiculous!" "Oh, whatever!" "Him again!" "Hey!" "Thanks to your "kitty kitty" whatever, now Black Cat is here too!" "Don't be stupid!" "Intruders!" "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "If I don't find Eve before he does... he'll definitely kill her!" "Black Cat'll definitely kill her this time!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "I'll leave Black Cat to you!" "I'll go find the nanotechnology data!" "Got it." "Be careful!" "You too!" "What's going on?" "Torneo-sama!" "We have intruders!" "Intruders!" "?" "Black Cat..." "S- so, this is what one of Chronos' erasers can do!" "Calm down, Flit." "It's just a stray cat who wandered in!" "Torneo-sama..." "Something's going on in the basement..." "The basement lab!" "Check it right away!" "Yes, sir!" "It's so quiet it's giving me the creeps." "Man, I'm pathetic!" "He's fighting all those enemies while breaking all those security cameras!" "On top of that, he's also looking for Eve's room." "Even still, I'm falling behind rather than catching up with him!" "If I don't do something, Eve will..." "Eve will..." "Eve will be killed by him!" "I can't help it." "I guess I'll use the right eye..." "Vision Eye!" "I wonder what this suspicious security lock is for..." "Tada!" "I spent a lot of money on this special card key, so it'd better open it..." "There we go!" "Eve, your prey's here." "Prey?" "That's right, it's your prey." "He's an assassin called Black Cat, who snuck into my vacation home the other day." "He's after you." "But you're it." "It..." "That's right." "You're it!" "I'm... it." "You're it..." "It!" "It..." "Understand?" "You're it, so you hunt the prey!" "Damn Eve!" "She's just a bio-weapon, but she's started developing a sense of self!" "?" "Torneo-sama!" "He'll be here any moment!" "Got that, Eve!" "?" "You're it!" "You kill the prey!" "This is..." "Who did this?" ""Tips on how to make rolled omelets without turning it into toxic waste"?" "What the heck is this?" "Tearju Lunatique..." "If I remember correctly, she's an authority on nanotechnology..." "H- he's approaching Eve's room at unbelievable speed!" "It's only a matter of time..." "Flit, have the "NS amplifying oscillator" ready!" "But, that's still not ready yet..." "Yes, sir!" "Understood!" "All right, I'm ready for you!" "I'll show you what my work on nanotechnology weapons has produced!" "He's here!" "What is this place!" "?" "It's just like a monster museum!" "Let's see..." ""Nanotechnology composition through the ingestion of G-cells"." "And, this one says, "Fusion of cytoskeleton genes ingested with OD weapons and nanotechnology"?" "Looks like they've been doing all sorts of God-knows-what experiments..." "Well..." "Now, shall we go?" "I promised you... that we'll go out for good food, remember?" "It's a piece of candy." "It's sweet, isn't it?" "Do you like it?" "O- okay, then!" "Let's go eat something that tastes better!" "Let me see, hamburger steak..." "You know, we'd better get out of here soon, otherwise..." "Are you all right!" "?" "Are you all right!" "?" "Don't scare me like that!" "You have to keep the candy in your mouth until it becomes smaller, okay?" "Wh- what is it?" "H- hey!" "Hey!" "My handkerchief..." "Ice cream..." "She ate it, and used this... handkerchief to wipe her..." "Oh, no!" "I don't want you to use that handkerchief!" "He's here!" "Go, Eve!" "It's time to play tag!" "Don't, Eve!" "I smell blood..." "I smell blood..." "I smell blood..." "I'm it..." "I'm it..." "I'm it the ultimate bio-weapon..." "S- so, this is..." "Now, Eve!" "Take down Black Cat immediately!" "You're it!" "I'm it..." "Don't listen to him, Eve!" "You're not it!" "What're you doing!" "?" "Kill Black Cat already!" "Shut up, Torneo!" "I won't let her kill anyone!" "Ha!" "Looks like a rat wandered in along with the cat..." "I'm not a rat!" "I'm a sweeper!" "Sweeper..." "C'mon, Eve!" "Let's go eat good food!" "Good food..." "I can't allow that." "I'm sorry, but I have to kill her..." "Hmph..." "So you just do whatever your owner tells you?" "You saw it, right?" "She's dangerous." "You kill dangerous people, even if they're children, huh?" "Man, Chronos is really..." "disgusting!" "Let's go!" "Eve, what're you doing?" "Kill Black Cat now!" "Don't tell me you're running away with that rat?" "I see..." "Eve!" "Flit!" "Yes, sir!" "What're you doing!" "?" "Do it!" "B- but..." "Torneo!" "What're you doing to Eve!" "?" "That card causes the nanomachines in Eve's body to go out of control." "What!" "?" "Eve!" "Kill Black Cat!" "Don't, Eve!" "Don't let him get away, Eve!" "Flit, take away his briefcase..." "Y- yes, sir!" "Since you don't need it any more..." "What a brave sweeper you are, risking your life to come and see Eve..." "What do you want with Eve?" "What are you planning to do with Eve!" "?" "Oh?" "That's a silly question..." "Eve is a product of my research and my property." "What happens to Eve is no one's business but mine." "Eve isn't a human." "She's a "weapon"." "Are you saying that Eve will become a monster!" "?" "What're you saying?" "She always has been a monster." "Now, enough chatter." "I think it's about time for you to die..." "What are you doing?" "Where... am I?" "What the heck's going on here!" "?" "What!" "?" "Now, Rins!" "What is this!" "?" "What the heck is going on!" "?" "No time to explain!" "Eve will..." "Eve will become a monster!" "Th- this is..." "Eve!" "?" "Stop it, Eve!" "It's no use." "No matter what you say to Eve now, she won't hear it." "No one can stop her until she kills Black Cat..." "No one can..." "Ha!" "Even in times like this, a gentleman... doesn't give up!" "What!" "?" "Wait!" "What're you gonna do!" "?" "Hold on, Eve!" "Soon..." "I'll soon bring you back to your old self!" "So, it was a failure..." "Torneo-sama!" "The basement lab is-!" "The lab?" "My life... turned to ashes..." "It's dangerous, Torneo-sama!" "Did you do that?" "No way..." "When I arrived at the lab, it was already destroyed..." "Destroyed?" "Black Cat?" "Maybe..." "But, you were planning to destroy it, too, right?" "It wasn't for money this time, right?" "I didn't really mean to hide it from you, but..." "The place where that military facility holding nanotechnology collapsed..." "Some time before that incident, I lived in that area for a little while." "It was a peaceful town with pretty flowers..." "I see..." "More importantly, what're you gonna do with her?" "What!" "?" "Black Cat!" "Y- you!" "I don't shoot if I don't wanna shoot..." "Yes, that's the right answer!" "He..." "Train Heartnet..." "Although the event he staged was a bit flashy, apparently he's succeeded." "It looks like it took a little longer than usual, too..." "When pursuing a mission, it has to be carried out efficiently and faithfully..." "Time and effort should not be wasted." "Things worked out all right in the end." "Everything went well." "That's good enough, isn't it?" "Good evening!" "What?" "Did something good happen?" "Not really..." "I see..." "Oh yeah, I haven't asked you your name, have I?" "The stars in the night sky are my tears" "Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!" "Please stop time tonight!"

"But, there seem to be a lot of difficulties in the outside world, too." "The man who came to kill me before said he was going to leave the organization." "I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that he didn't shoot me that time..." "Ah!" "Ramen!" ""Cat Makes a Decision" Ah!" "Ramen!" "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..."

"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!" "Either you stay in Chronos or you die..." "Choose one." "I don't like either." "Heartnet!" "Go ahead and shoot that bitch, Train." "I don't wanna kill or be killed." "Then, I have no choice." "I won't let you get away!" "What's the matter?" "Train, why don't you shoot?" "If you don't shoot, then..." "Your opponents are right here!" "Creed Diskenth!" "We're taking you into custody for treason against Chronos!" "Come quietly." "You can't escape from us." "You're taking me?" "That's a laugh." "Are you insulting the Numbers!" "?" "Do you seriously think there's no one stronger than the Numbers?" "I guess an old organization really is hopeless." "Enough of your impertinence!" "Let's go, Ash!" "Yeah!" "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." "Targeted Cat" "♪The beating of an insect's wings ♪" "♪ Lightly, lightly, floating...♪" "♪ Carrying our feelings♪" "Did you abandon your gun, Heartnet!" "?" "I won't carry a gun any more." "The Numbers' weapons are something used for saving the world." "While you're filled with such self-righteousness, how many people's blood do you think is being spilt in this world we live in!" "?" "Is it okay to kill people if it's for justice?" "Heartnet..." "Leave me alone!" "You are wrong!" "Heartnet!" "You can't even graze me with attacks like that." "You won't be laughing for long!" "What!" "?" "I see..." "You made me draw my Kotetsu..." "I guess I have to say "as expected from the Numbers"..." "I guess you won't forgive me even though I abandoned my gun..." "You have power..." "Even if you abandoned your gun, being drawn by that power, people like Creed will probably flock towards you." "You'll definitely become a threat to Chronos." "Those who leave Chronos will be dealt with by Chronos..." "That is the code of Chronos." "Chronos, Chronos..." "What the hell is Chronos to you?" "I believe... in Chronos' ideal of righting this troubled world." "And, I decided that until that ideal is realized, I'd abandon my human heart." "Don't you get tired from always being like that?" "Realize your mistake!" "Come back to Chronos!" "I have no choice..." "Ash!" "Y- you bastard!" "That uncanny technique is..." "from Itairiku..." "That's none of your business." "How dare you kill my partner!" "That incompetent moron was your partner?" "A partner is someone like what Train is to me, and what I am to Train!" "Now, if you don't wanna die, beg for your life." "Oh?" "You're not gonna beg?" "Then, I have no choice." "You think you've concealed the distance with an invisible blade!" "?" "With blood covering the blade, the tip of your sword is in plain sight!" "The distance!" "?" "The tip of my sword!" "?" "Such things don't matter to me." "Don't worry." "I didn't aim for your vitals." "D" " Damn!" "Why were we taken out by a lowly eraser?" "Go back and tell those cowardly elders... that it's all over for Chronos." "Keep this in mind." "Times have changed." "And, Train isn't a member of the Numbers any more." "He's my partner." "Sorry, but you're coming with me, Train Heartnet." "What!" "?" "Who are you!" "?" "My name is Shiki." "I'm a Taoist." "A Taoist!" "?" "So, you people survived!" "It'll take more than Chronos to eradicate us." "Let me show you the Tao's power!" "Mudeka!" "Take this!" "Borer Poison's Curse!" "Now, Train Heartnet." "Come with me." "Creed is waiting for you." "Creed!" "?" "What's Creed planning!" "?" "I don't have to explain it to one of Chronos' dogs!" "Train's the one we want to talk to... ?" "A baby's first cry?" "?" "The beating of an insect's wings?" "What!" "?" "What happened!" "?" "?" "Lightly, lightly, floating...?" "Damn!" "?" "Lightly, lightly, floating...?" "Train's-!" "?" "Lightly, lightly, floating...?" "?" "Carrying our feelings?" "Nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai!" "?" "Carrying our feelings?" "Nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai!" "?" "Carrying our feelings?" "Nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai!" "Take this!" "Curse of Flying Locusts!" "That damn Creed!" "When did he find an ally like that?" "?" "Lightly, lightly, floating...?" "It looks like he's up to something..." "?" "Lightly, lightly, floating...?" "?" "Tomorrow, for sure...?" "I'm concerned about Creed's actions." "?" "Tomorrow, for sure...?" "Right now, he's our priority." "?" "Tomorrow, for sure...?" "Well, I think we can let XIII be free for a while." "?" "Tomorrow, for sure...?" "Well, I think we can let XIII be free for a while." "?" "Lightly, lightly, floating...?" "?" "Lightly, lightly, floating...?" "?" "It will reach the sky?" "Hey, what are you running so frantically for?" "And, what's more, your face is as black as coal." "Oh, I got it." "You're jogging!" "Of course not!" "You can run pretty fast." "But I can run faster!" "Do you admit defeat?" "He's pretty good." "Then, I guess it's time for me to get serious!" "I'll go on ahead!" "That's nothing!" "Ouch!" "Oops!" "I'll go on ahead!" "Tada!" "What're you busting your butt for!" "?" "Nothing." "Watching you made me want to run, that's all!" "Here you go!" "You must be thirsty!" "I don't need it!" "A bottle of milk after a run tastes good too, you know..." "Ah!" "That really hits the spot!" "It tastes good, doesn't it?" "It tastes like it always does." "You're as unfriendly as always." "Wait a second, why are you in my apartment!" "?" "You made me run so much, so let me take a break here." "You're the one who followed me on your own!" "No, no, no..." "You don't understand." "When you enjoy something, you should share it with a friend." "So, lemon soda!" "Huh?" "You'll treat me to lemon soda!" "I don't quite get what you're saying..." "There'll be a carnival at the harbor tomorrow!" "A celebration that happens once a year!" "The fireworks at the climax of the festival are super famous." "To tell you the truth, it's like I moved to this town for those fireworks." "While watching huge fireworks exploding with a bang, you take a swig of very cold lemon soda." "That's the best part of watching fireworks!" "What's that got to do with me?" "Obviously, I'm inviting my only friend in this town, you, Train-kun, to the fireworks display!" "I'm tellin' ya, it's definitely more fun to watch it with someone else, rather than by yourself!" "Even so, why do I have to treat you to lemon soda?" "It was you who lost, right, Train-kun?" "I lost?" "The footrace!" "The number of times you passed me was 63 times." "The number of times I passed you was 64 times." "Therefore, I won!" "So, lemon soda!" "Okay!" "?" "All right, I guess..." "Yaay!" "Lemon soda!" "Lemon Soda!" "It doesn't take much to please you..." "Happiness isn't money." "It's the free time that you spend with your friends..." "Something like that..." "Also..." "I think you should keep this with you." "Why are you telling me this now?" "You'll be living on your own from now on." "So, you'll have to protect yourself!" "And your loved ones, too." "I don't have anyone like that." "Don't act so tough!" "Everyone makes an important friend or two during their lives, right?" "Well, then..." "Are you leaving?" "Are you asking me to stay overnight?" "No way!" "You'd better hurry up and move out of this place." "Apparently, you're popular, so..." "Well, then, I'll meet you at the pier tomorrow evening." "I'll find the best spot for watching the fireworks display." "Stop it!" "It's no use." "What?" "I'm saying it's no use!" "Why!" "?" "You told me to bring him earlier, and..." "Right, but I'm telling you, it's no use for now while he's being deluded by that woman..." "By... that witch!" "Eve!" "Is it interesting?" "That, "101 Wild Elephants on The Stampede!" book..." "What's that?" "It means that there's going to be fireworks." "Fireworks..." "Well, you know..." "Fireworks are shot into the air, there's a 'kaboom' noise..." "and the night sky becomes bright." "Are they weapons?" "Whoa!" "No, they aren't..." "Well, you know..." "They're exploding art." "They're pretty." "Colorful lights spread out in a round shape, and..." "I wanna see them..." "Huh?" "I wanna see..." "a fireworks display..." "That wouldn't be good." "If the people who're after us find us or something..." "Looks like they've already found us." "I don't know them." "A man and a woman with a child should be staying at your place." "It's in your best interest to tell us the truth." "Why don't you suit yourself and search the house?" "The guest room is upstairs." "This way!" "Well..." "I wonder if this isn't a very good match for fireworks..." "Oh, well!" "Hmm, I might have come too early..." "Leave it to me!" "All right!" "Thank you!" "Okay, then..." "I promised to meet someone, so..." "A promise..." "with your boyfriend?" "With my friend!" "Let's see..." "The fireworks will go up from that area, so... they'll go kaboom around here." "Yep!" "This place may actually be a nice little unknown spot." "I hope my lemon soda comes soon..." "Who are you?" "Oh, I see!" "You're a friend of Train-kun's, right!" "?" "Me, too!" "That's great!" "Thanks to you, Train-kun has become quite cheerful..." "You've got an invisible sword?" "That's a rare technique you use..." "Living a free and easy life..." "What's wrong with it?" "Wh- why don't you..." "let Train-kun... have... his own way?" "Yaay!" "Wait!" "Don't harm the children!" "Darn!" "I can't..." "move my body..." "If I can just..." "move my arm..." "G- get out of here!" "Now!" "Don't underestimate me..." "I'm not working alone as a sweeper for nothing." "He's walking!" "But my "Reflect Shot" was perfect!" "It hit his leg!" "To My Dear Friend Train," "I'll release you from that witch's spell tonight." "This way!" "The lady..." "The lady in yukata was..." "Lady..." "Hi, Train!" "You can rest easy now." "I've just taken care of the witch who's been deluding you." "Now, you can join me" "Train-kun..." "Don't talk." "Are the children-?" "Don't worry." "They're all right." "I really screwed up." "Forget that, just don't talk!" "So you brought it with you..." "Don't ever give it up, okay?" "I'm sure you'll be able to use it for the right reasons, so... I- idiot!" "Don't say things that sound like parting words!" "I wanted to drink..." "lemon soda..." "Fireworks... they're pretty..." "Saya..." "So, the witch who was leading you astray died, huh?" "Now release yourself from that witch's spell and go back to being the old Train!" "Bastard..." "You bastard..." "You bastard, I'll make you pay for this!" "Train!" "You still haven't awakened yet?" "I swear I'll make you pay for this!" "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" "This is Eve." "I'm at the fireworks display right now." "Sven says they're very pretty, but I've been having this uneasy feeling for a little while now..." "The smell of something..." "Yes..." "It's the smell of blood..." "That man..." "It seems like Black Cat is nearby..." "Badly Wounded Cat" "Was that fireworks?" "Here..." "Get on my shoulders." "Oof." "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." "Badly Wounded Cat" "You bastard, I'll make you pay for this!" "Train..." "You still don't get it?" "That woman was a witch who was leading you astray." "You bastard..." "I swear I'll make you pay for this!" "That look!" "That look in your eyes!" "So what do you think?" "Aren't they pretty?" "It looks as if flowers are blossoming in the sky." "Tamaya!" "What's that?" "That's what you say when fireworks are going off." "Tagaya!" "That's a Rakugo comedy!" "Tamaya!" "No!" "Hey, it's not "no", it's "Tamaya", right?" "What's the matter?" "The smell... of blood..." "Huh?" "I'm going..." " Where to?" " The sea..." "Th- the sea!" "?" " That way..." " That way?" "Umm..." " Hurry up!" " Uhh..." "Okay, okay!" "The fireworks are pretty, aren't they!" "?" "Oh?" "What's the matter?" "You're crying..." "You really are funny, Train-kun!" "Oh?" "Me, too..." "It can't be helped, right?" "'Cause fireworks are so pretty!" "See?" "Isn't this pretty?" "Don't worry..." "Your eyes are... as pretty as fireworks..." "You're..." "Torneo's..." "It's not "he came to life", it's "he came to", right, Eve?" "Hey!" "How're you feeling?" "You're that sweeper..." "What are you doing here?" "This is my house..." "or rather, it's my hideout." "Hideout?" "What a shock that was!" "When we went to the pier like Eve suggested, we saw a tanker in flames..." "Hey!" "Don't get close!" "Eve!" "It's dangerous!" "I smell blood..." "Ow, ow!" "Eve!" "If we go any further, we could really get hurt!" "That way..." "How far are you gonna go, Eve!" "?" "There he is!" "So, after this and that, we rescued you from the flames of the exploding tanker." "Be thankful." "Exploding..." "Where's Saya!" "?" "Saya?" "She was wearing a yukata!" "Yukata?" "We didn't see her." "Was she with you?" "I'm sorry, but either way, I don't think she'd survive in that explosion." "How long... was I asleep?" "A week." "But I changed my mind about you." "After all, in the middle of all that, you protected those kids to the end." "That's not something just anyone could do." "Kids?" "Don't worry." "I heard that all three of them are just fine." "I don't remember." "You're hungry, aren't you?" "Now, don't hold back!" "Eat to your heart's content!" "What's the matter?" "If you don't eat, you won't get better." "Where's my gun?" "Eve, give it to him." "He still smells of blood..." "Please give this to the man in black and say, "thanks for saving us!"" "So, I'll give this to you." "But I won't give you the gun back." "Well, we all ended up living under the same roof." "This must be fate." "In any case, why don't we be friends?" "Don't be so edgy." "He's an injured man." "Be nice to him, at least until he gets better." "But he's..." "An assassin, you mean?" "But he didn't shoot you." "So, his gun... give it back to him, will you?" "Anyway, these days you've always got your nose in a book..." "I want to know..." "You want to know..." "about what?" "A lot of things..." "A lot of things?" "Because I had been taught only one thing..." "I see..." "So, what have you learned?" "Let's see, "A Guide to Martial Arts" and "Three Minute Cooking"..." ""Cherry Blossom Viewing from A Row House" and "Camels' Humps"..." ""Tagaya"!" "And, what you're perusing right now is..." "Aesop..." "Aesop?" "It's a fable." "Annette gave it to me." "That's a mean-looking cat." "It's a story about putting a bell on a bad cat's neck." "A bell... on a cat's neck?" "Right." "They put a bell on a bad cat's neck." "Well, then, I'm going grocery shopping for dinner, so, stay home with him." "Hey, don't give me that look." "We can't go leaving an injured man alone, right?" "I'll get you something." "What do you want?" "A book!" "It's from the guest over there." "Oh?" "The name of this cocktail is "Fate"." "It's a suitable name for our meeting..." "Don't you think?" "Yeah..." "You have beautiful eyes..." "To your beautiful eyes!" "Jenos-sama..." "Belze is-?" "I'm sorry, but I have to go." "My name?" "Ask the god of "Fate" who brought you and I together..." "Who's going to pay for this "Fate"?" "Welcome!" "Coffee..." "Make it hot and strong, like you'd get at a mountain cottage..." "Okay, and put it on your tab as usual, right?" "That's right..." "Wha-!" "?" "How!" "?" "So, what's Rins up to?" "She left town." "She said that she got a job." "She told me she'd make a lot of money this time." "Good to hear that she's all right." "Yeah..." "Anyway, about that explosion at the pier the other day..." "Oh, the one on the night of the festival..." "Have you heard anything about it?" "According to the official announcement, fireworks supposedly caused the tanker to catch fire, but..." "But the truth is?" "I don't know." "I heard that three kids were caught in the explosion and got light burns, but they seem to remember nothing..." "Nothing?" "Listen, I don't want you to mention the man in black to anyone." "Got it!" "I won't tell anyone!" "Me neither!" "I see..." "That's good..." "You look like you know something." "Not really..." "Oh well..." "Anyway, where's Eve?" "Yeah, she's reading picture books at my hideout." "Sounds like she's doing fine." "Yeah, thanks." "But don't let your guard down." "I heard that Chronos guys are snooping around everywhere." "Man, those guys sure are persistent..." "Ouch!" "Ow, ow, ouch!" "Torneo's bio-weapon?" "It was No." "XIII's mission, but I want you to take it over." "Don't tell me Black Cat failed..." "He left Chronos and disappeared." "There was a report that he died in that explosion at the pier, but I wouldn't count on it." "I see..." "Will you take this job?" "Thanks." "So, why did Black Cat leave Chronos?" "You don't have to know." "If you find him, I'll leave the matter up to you." "What a bad road!" "Please be patient." "I've got information that the bio-weapon was definitely brought to somewhere around here." "Why do you keep fighting!" "?" "I myself don't know why, but once we get in a robot, we have no choice but to fight, right!" "?" "Yeah, it's true that when we, children, get in a robot, we all become war victims for some reason!" "Move." "I can't see the TV!" "I'm going to..." "put a bell..." "Huh?" "I'm going to put a bell on a bad cat's neck so that he won't be dangerous anymore..." "This is why I say the federation military is-!" "I don't understand what you're saying at all!" "Why are things turning out like this!" "?" "This is what war is!" "Giga-ton Punch!" "How can you say "put a bell on a bad cat"?" "You tried to kill me, too." "You're an assassin, too." "I don't wanna wage war in a robot anymore!" "I'm home!" "Eve, I bought a book for you." ""Art of Calligraphy is the Stray"..." "Hey, where did Eve go?" "What!" "?" "Idiot!" "That's her..." "What?" "Are you saying that little lady is the bio-weapon that Torneo developed?" "Yes." "It's no mistake." "I don't know what happened to you." "If you don't open up to us, that's okay, too." "But, it was Eve who found you at that explosion site, and who looked after you all that time you were in bed for a week." "Listen up." "If you say something to hurt her again," "I'll make you pay for it, even if you're injured." "You're an assassin, too." "Good evening mademoiselle." "Hey!" "Where are you!" "?" "Eve!" "What's your name, mademoiselle?" "Now, now, what are you backing away for?" "Did you come to capture me?" "No." "I came to escort you." "Jenos-sama, please be careful." "She's a monster." "Watch what you say." "It's rude to the lady." "Now..." "Let's go mademoiselle." "I'm not... going..." "What a dilemma." "I promised that I'd bring you with me..." "No..." "Please..." "Come with me..." "You're it." "You're an assassin, too." "No!" "Whoa!" "So, that's the power of nanomachines!" "You damn monster!" "Game over, mademoiselle!" "I'm sorry for getting rough with you." "If you come with me without a fight," "I'll make it so that the pain won't be any worse." "No!" "This thread is made of orichalcum." "Now, please..." "Say you'll come with me..." "Or else..." "N- no!" "Ouch!" "A bell?" "Ow, ow, ow..." "What a surprise!" "I never thought I'd be able to see Black Cat in a place like this." "You must be one of the Numbers..." "That's right!" "I'm No." "VII, Jenos Hazard." "Never heard of you..." "Just as expected of No." "XIII, the bringer of bad luck," "You keep your cool!" "I'm no longer one of the Numbers!" "I'm a stray cat who does as he pleases!" "A stray cat, huh?" "Belze'll probably be happy if I bring you to Chronos, along with the bio-weapon mademoiselle." "Let's get something straight." "She isn't a weapon." "She's a human!" "This is also part of my mission!" "Black Cat!" "That's wishful thinking, Black Cat!" "Even if you fire three bullets, it's not gonna beat my Excellion." "Damn!" "Sorry, but my Hades is also "orichalcum made"." "Eve, I'll leave the rest to you!" "What!" "?" "Chronos came!" "?" "But I beat them up." "Dummy!" "He purposely pretended that he was knocked out." "What?" "There's no way one of the Numbers would be knocked unconscious just by being hit with a hammer." "So, why are you guys having dinner together, while I was out looking all over for Eve for three and a half long hours?" "Because I was starving..." "Because I was hungry..." "Jenos-sama..." "Forget about what happened tonight." " But..." " Forget it!" "U- understood." "How many miles do we have left to reach the town?" "20 miles..." "Thanks to Black Cat, our car was trashed!" "That was because you..." "Shut up!" "What shall we report to Belze-sama?" "This matter was left to me." "So, I'll decide what we're gonna do." "Yes..." "A stray cat who does as he pleases, huh?" "We're already leaving?" "If we stay here, Chronos could come back any time, right!" "?" "You don't need to worry about that..." "By the way, what's up with that bell on your neck?" "Oh, yeah, it's slick, isn't it?" "Hmm..." "But I feel like I've seen that bell somewhere..." "Then, you're saying that Creed used some uncanny power?" "Yes." "According to Nizer..." " Could it be Tao?" " Very possibly." "I also crossed swords with a man who called himself a Taoist." "However, those with the power of the Tao were supposed to be eradicated in the war 20 years ago." "Are the survivors of the "Itairiku War" trying to cause an uproar?" "But, why can Creed use the power of the Tao?" "It seems that an ill wind is blowing, doesn't it?" "The Council of Elders is also concerned." "They ordered us to focus on investigating Creed and the Taoists for now." "In the meantime, you should forget about other matters." "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" "I'm Sven Vollfied." "I'm a cool, lone-wolf sweeper." "But, why am I, the cool, lone-wolf sweeper, traveling with two dependents!" "?" "Damn!" "A cold wind blows through my empty wallet..." "Oh well, I guess I'll work hard." "Hey, Train!" "Quit napping all day and give me a hand!" "Oh, no need to get up, Eve." "Traveling Cat" "Oh, no need to get up, Eve." "Man, I'm freezing!" "That's because it's winter." "Who said it was okay for winter to start?" "You're cold because you sold your coat without considering the consequences." "And what on earth are those?" "Emergency food?" "He says they're paw pads..." "Aren't they slick?" "I don't understand..." "I don't understand your sense at all!" "Hey!" "Don't go blowing snot on me!" "L- it sure is cold, I guess..." "Honestly, at least fix the heater!" "We don't have that kind of money!" "Why!" "?" "I help out a lot with your sweeper work too!" "It's because you shovel down food like a pig!" "You've been leeching off me for six long months!" "By the way, Eve, what're you reading?" ""The Desperate Trio:" "Their Escape from The Pits"..." "Sounds like you're reading a difficult book..." "Idiot." "Eve's trying to improve this situation in her own way, so..." "Man, I'm freezing..." "If you wanna complain, complain after you capture this guy." "Ha!" "Okay, then!" "A small fish like this, I can do it alone..." "Me, too..." " Huh?" " Huh?" "I'll do it, too." "Do what?" "If we capture that person, we'll get money, right?" "It's too difficult for you!" "Anyway, you can just leave this guy to me and go quietly read a book or something..." "Then, Train, do you wanna compete with me... in a game of tag?" "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." "Traveling Cat" "Boss!" "We really did it!" "Don't get excited with small change." "That's our boss!" "You've got a large caliber!" "In any case, the effect of that drink was really something!" "Please let me have some too next time..." "Boss?" "Where are you going to spend your vacation?" "I haven't decided yet..." "Then, I'd love for you to come to my vacation home." "You can stay as long as you want." "If you want, y- you can stay forever..." "I have to go now..." "Where to?" "That's a secret..." "Tada!" "Here it is." "With my skills, stuff like this is a piece of cake!" "There you are!" "You playin' hide and sheek?" "Umm, who might you be?" "Come on, Elena-san, you must be drunk." "It's me!" "Me!" "Why don't we shhpend our vacation together at my vacation home?" "You can't be..." "No vacashionn..." "Haha..." "So, I shee you like books." "Y- yes... especially things like medieval Italian literature..." "I love that shtuff, too, that Italian whatever..." "Oh?" "Elena-san, this is..." "Looks like you saw it..." "Yes..." "I saw it." "In that case, I have no choice!" "How about a cocktail?" "I'm in a hurry, so..." "Don't be like that." "Have a drink with me..." "Rinslet Walker, the thief..." "Who are you?" "I'm Jenos Hazard." "Chrono Numbers!" "The name of the cocktail is "Fate"." "In token of our new acquaintanceship..." "Stealing a confidential document within only five minutes..." "What a skill..." "If you've got something to say, hurry up and say it." "Cinderella doesn't have much time, huh?" "Elena-san!" "What do you want?" "Half a year ago, I was pursuing Torneo's bio-weapon..." "I was taking over for Black Cat, who left Chronos." "While I was investigating, I came across your name." "Your skills are amazing, getting the better of Chronos." "Well, that's not important any more..." "The situation has changed a little, and we don't have time for that right now." "A force that opposes Chronos has appeared." "Opposes Chronos?" "What a reckless bunch..." "They're a group of Tao users." "Tao?" "It's an uncanny power that has been passed down in Itairiku." "The Tao users were eradicated by Chronos 20 years ago." "But lately, there have been criminals who use that power." "With power like that of a monster, they did whatever they pleased." "But, in every case, their bodies destroyed themselves." "There have been three incidents like that up until now." "The common thread among them is that, before they committed crimes, they were visited by a suspicious duo." "Are those two also Tao users?" "Probably..." "I heard that the three who gained the power of Tao were given a strange drink by that duo." "A drink that gives you the power of Tao by drinking it..." "It's interesting, isn't it?" "Are you asking me to steal it!" "?" "The three that died an unnatural death had something in common." "They all escaped from the same prison half a year ago." "The Office of Investigations thinks there was someone who helped them from the outside." "These two are the ones that remain." "The Tao user duo will probably visit these two." "If you know that much, why don't you steal it yourself?" "I don't want to aggravate the matter at this point." "I need your thief skills." "Find someone else." "10 million gold..." "Plus necessary expenses..." "How is that?" "Shoot!" "That wasn't nice, Elena-san!" "My heart's pounding!" "Why are you following me!" "?" "I feel like you're my fate." "I'm gonna slug you!" "I wanna hear about the duo that came to see your boss." "What were they like?" "If you don't tell me, I'll hit you again!" "A- a man with a hat and a young woman." "And!" "?" "We were told that the man with the hat helped our boss to escape from prison." "Our boss told us he had to help that man as a token of his gratitude." "But your boss died..." "It's their fault." "They made our boss..." "Drink something..." "Is there some left?" "Begafurt, Rubek City," "Desburg..." "Considering the route they're taking, it should be this way." "You shouldn't do that." "Flowers are alive, too." "I'll teach you a lot about flowers." "Okay!" "I've looked all over for you, Igor." "I'll teach you next time, okay?" "Okay..." "Charden-san..." "The battle with Chronos will start soon." "I want to live here quietly." "You mean an escaped prisoner lives in a rural area like this?" "I got the information from Annette." "It's definitely correct." "Three miles to the town." "We aren't there yet!" "Help me push the car." "We're out of gas." "I'm exhausted..." "Let's hurry up and go capture him." "Igor Planter." "Occupation:" "Forest Keeper" "Seems like he's your average guy." "There's no need to rush." "We don't even know where he is." "Let's take a break." "Then, I'll go look for him by myself." "See, this is why I think that an innocent princess'll give us trouble." "Princess?" "A princess, huh?" "You got a point there." "So, what can I get for you?" "Oh?" " Ahhh!" " Ahhh!" "You're that waitress from Blakio City..." "You're the pops who skipped out on your bills!" "Don't say things that'll hurt my reputation!" "This brings back memories!" "It's been half a year, hasn't it?" "Why are you here?" "A lot has happened to me since then..." "I quit that restaurant and broke up with that guy." " Then, I traveled to that country and met that guy." " Man, I'm hungry..." " Then, I broke up with that guy and met that man, and..." " I'll have this, this, this and this..." " Then, I broke up with that guy and met that man, and..." " I'd like this one." " Oh, that one?" " Now what do I want?" "Oh, and, this one, too." " Hey, listen!" " Huh?" "Daughter..." "Not sure..." "Father..." "So you've got a complicated family structure..." " Brrr, I'll have some hot milk, please!" " Hey, isn't there any meat?" "Vegetables are nutritious." "That's right!" "And you're scarfing it down while you're complaining!" "Hey!" "What are you guys doing in a place like this!" "?" "Why is that assassin here?" "A lot happened..." "Hey!" "I'll settle for the cheap stuff, so bring me more food!" "Tao users?" "What's that about?" "It's a mysterious militant group that uses uncanny techniques." "Uncanny techniques?" "In any case, it seems that these two have been building up a circle of allies by having vicious criminals drink some strange drink." "Now, drink it." "What happens when I drink it?" "You may get an amazing power, or you may die." "Did you drink it, too?" "It's incredibly effective." "First you take a sip." "Then once your body becomes familiar with the Tao power, you take another sip." "If you go too fast, your cells won't be able to bear the rapid change." "Who commissioned you to pursue those two?" "Chronos..." "When did you start working with them?" "Don't worry." "I didn't tell them about Eve, so..." "I read the article." "He couldn't do it..." "He couldn't control his own power." "Will I be like him?" "You said you wanted the power to get revenge on society." "Th- that was just..." "I didn't do anything wrong, but I was apprehended..." " so, I was angry..." " Oh!" "I know!" "That's called a false accusation, right!" "?" "That's right." "I didn't do anything wrong." "So, the Tao users are so dangerous that Chronos keeps an eye on them?" "I heard that they can fight on par with the Numbers." "S- seriously!" "?" " On the house!" " Yeah!" "Oh, these are just bread crusts..." "Be happy you got this!" "So, why are they in this town?" "Half a year ago, a man with a hat helped five vicious criminals escape from prison." "One of them is in this town..." " This guy!" " Igor-san!" "You know him!" "?" "Where!" "?" "Where is he!" "Hey!" "Are you after him, too!" "?" "That's right!" "He's our target!" "Hey, where is he?" "If you don't tell me I won't be able to pay you for the food here, either!" "He's at Desburg Botanical Garden!" "A botanical garden?" "That's right!" "So you'd better pay up this time!" "Hey, what happened to Eve?" "Huh?" "Oh?" "The wanted poster's gone, too..." "The garden is closing soon." "Who are you?" "It seems I've forgotten my name." "Really?" "For a long time, I've only dealt with flowers and trees, so..." "Flowers don't do things like call people by name, right?" "You like flowers and trees?" "I like them a lot." "More than humans?" "I'm surprised you understand, young lady..." "Eve!" "But, I'm really touched you're so worried about Eve." "Crap!" "At this rate, I'm going to lose the competition!" "Hey, that's not the issue here!" "Train, wait!" "No, wait, you don't have to wait!" "In any case, find Eve!" "I think that nothing in this world is quite so pretty as flowers." "They show their beautiful form in each season." "Look..." "They are my sweethearts..." "Igor Planter..." "This is your name, isn't it?" "Yeah..." "I found you..." "Are you playing tag?" "I'm "it"..." "What a cute "it" you are!" "That's..." "I'm a sweeper..." "Are you saying that you're going to apprehend me?" "I didn't do anything wrong..." "You killed many people, didn't you?" "All I did was teach a lesson to hikers who contaminated the forest." "They trampled on flowers that posed no threat to them, and they tore flowers from the ground..." "But you shouldn't kill..." "Young lady, are you, also one of them?" "Don't step on the flowers!" "You have a cute face, and yet, you trample on flowers, too!" "?" "Eve!" "You'll be o-!" " Kay now..." "I must punish bad children who mess up the flowerbeds!" "Stop it, you monster!" "The trees and forests are angry." "You can hear their angry voices, right?" "You can't get out of this greenhouse, young lady..." "You're gonna die here!" "Stop right there!" "Is that..." "performance art?" "Does it hurt?" "But you'll feel better soon." "You'll now be eaten by a flower and reborn as a plant." "Isn't that wonderful?" "Wh- who's there!" "?" "A sweeper!" "Sorry for keeping you waiting, princess!" "It makes no difference how many of you come." "I feel it!" "You don't know when to give up, pops!" "Do you like flowers?" "What?" "M- my eyes!" "Can you use your gun like that?" "Train!" "This is it for both of you!" "Let those two go!" "Dammit!" "What the hell are you doing!" "?" "Don't shoot!" "What!" "?" "Guns don't work on me." "I'm now invincible!" "That's right!" "I'm invincible!" "Ha!" "He's pretty persistent..." "Die!" "I won't let you get away!" "My body... my body is-!" "Someone... help me!" "How ruthless..." "Now I feel sorry for him..." "I win, princess." "That man's body destroyed itself." "What!" "?" "I rescued you, remember!" "?" "As if you yourself weren't in danger..." "Dummy!" "I was pretending!" "I did that on purpose!" "Shinkitou?" "Is this all!" "?" "There's no way we'll get paid when our target looks like that!" "You really are a pops who has no luck with money." "Shut up!" "If you're in that much trouble, why don't you help me with my job?" "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" "Kyoko here!" "I'm traveling with Charden-san to gather allies." "But, I'm getting sick and tired of it 'cause they're all weird guys." "Oh, where's my prince?" "According to a fortune-telling book, let me see, my love fortune for next week is excellent!" "?" "And, lucky items are popsicles and a black cat!" "?" "Alrighty!" "I'll have to give it everything I've got!" "Charming Cat" "Alrighty!" "I'll have to give it everything I've got!" "Hey..." "Wanna have some fun?" "What's going on!" "?" "Y- you!" "What're you doing!" "?" "Nothing, really..." "Y- you're a wanted man...," "Gyanza!" "You must be Gyanza Rujikke!" "And if I am?" "Don't resist!" "We're taking you into custody!" "Really?" "Then, try and catch me." "Wh- where is he!" "?" "Where're you hiding, Gyanza!" "?" "I'm right here..." "Hmm?" "You dickwads're IBI agents?" "Then, do you know a man named Sven Vollfied?" "N- no, I don't..." "I don't know him!" "I see, got it." "Good-bye." "Sven Vollfied..." "I swear I'm gonna kill you!" "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." ""Charming Cat"" "First off, this guy..." "Gyanza Rujikke!" "You know him?" "Yeah." "He's one of the men I captured way back when I was an agent." "He's a disgusting scumbag who kills even women and children." "So, what's this got to do with Gyanza?" "This..." "What's that?" "This is a bottle that contained Shinkitou." "Shinkitou?" "That's right." "It's a drink that activates the power of Tao." "Tao!" "?" "The uncanny techniques that you were talking about the other day?" "Yes." "After Igor at the botanical garden, the one that Tao user duo is after is..." "Don't tell me!" "Yep." "I'd like to take what's in the bottle before it falls into this guy's hands." "Can you help me?" "Wow, thank you!" "Then, I'll investigate that Tao user duo, so..." "I'll leave Gyanza to you." "What's with her!" ""I'll leave him to you"?" "It's not like we have to help that woman do her job..." "On top of that..." "Your fee'll be covered by Gyanza's bounty, okay?" "That woman's annoying!" "The reward for Gyanza is 2 million gold." "Can't complain about that, right?" "So, where's that Gyanza guy?" "That damn Gyanza!" "I'll capture him before he drinks Shinkitou!" "But... what happened to Train!" "?" "He's gone..." "Geez..." "As soon as I turn my back, he takes off..." "Don't worry." "He'll come back when he gets hungry." "Oh?" "Hey..." "Throb!" "Looks like the rumor that crime's getting bad in this city these days is true..." "Most of the stores're closed, too..." "The stores're closed, but you've got me!" "Let's see... where's a milk vending machine?" "There's no milk vending machines, but you've got me!" "I wonder if there's somewhere I can get some milk..." "Okay!" "I got it!" "You've got me, so!" "Wh- what're you doing!" "?" "That's my line!" "Uhm, may I have your name!" "?" "Kuro-neko!" "("Kuroneko" means "black cat".)" "Kuro?" "So, it's "Kuro-sama", right!" "?" "Oh, no!" "I'll be late for my appointment!" "Kuro-sama!" "I'm Kyoko!" "I'll see you if our fates meet again!" "Oh?" "My popsicle's gone!" "Where'd it go!" "?" "She sure makes a lot of noise..." "You're 30 seconds late." "Please listen, Charden-san!" "I met this gorgeous guy today!" "When these bad guys were hassling me, he was all like Bam!" "Pow!" "And defeated them!" "He's such a cool guy..." "Oh?" "My popsicle's gone again!" "Where'd it go?" "Where'd it go?" "But, Charden-san, what on earth is up with this place?" "This town is terribly quiet." "All the stores're closed, too." "It's so boring!" "If you have complaints, please tell them all to Gyanza-san." "Since he's been rampaging around lately, the town has gotten quiet." "Boring..." "Please don't grumble like that." "Kyoko-san, it seems that you're too carefree." "What's wrong with that?" "You told me that this revolution that'll happen soon is a festival, Charden-san." "Yes, it's a festival." "But right now we're preparing for the festival." "Preparing for it?" "That's right." "So, in order for the festival to be a success, we have to take our missions seriously." "I see..." "So, this is the hideout of this Gyanza guy..." "Anyone home!" "?" "Hmmm, there's nobody here." "This is a problem..." "We promised to meet here today..." "If you're looking for big bro Gyanza, he ain't coming." "Is someone there!" "?" "Ah!" "My popsicle!" "We came to talk to you in place of our big bro." "Does that mean Gyanza-san won't show?" "That's right." "That means our big bro no longer has any business with you." "I think he's found a girl in town by now and is having fun." "Excuse me..." "What is it?" "Aren't you cold in that get up?" "What's with this girl?" "Are you jealous of my beauty?" "I'm not jealous or anything!" "By the way, we heard from big bro Gyanza that... you guys have something good." "Why don't you give some to us, too?" "Something good..." "Oh!" "You mean popsicles!" ""Gunya Gunya Kun"!" "Look!" "See, it's so jiggly." "This thing jiggles all over but it's still a popsicle!" "This thing is beyond a popsi..." "Is this the one?" "All right!" "Was that okay, Charden-san?" "Yes, no need to worry." "Now I'll gain incredible power like big bro did..." "This is so exciting!" "Hm?" "Nothing's happening..." "I forgot to tell you, that it only works for a handful of people." "If it doesn't work... this is what will happen." "Glibath!" "H- how dare you!" "You won't get away with this!" "What shall we do, Charden-san?" "Since it doesn't seem like they'll just let us walk out of here, let's have some fun with them." "Okay!" "Here I come, lightly-dressed lady!" "I'll warm you up!" "Man, that stupid Gyanza!" "I'm really fumed over his breaking his promise with us!" "Ah!" "My "Gunya Gunya Kun" melted!" "Gyanza..." "He may have taken his games too far..." "We need to keep an eye on him." "Oh!" "Please wait for me!" "It's amazing..." "The Tao power's really amazing..." "Sven, what're you doing?" "I'm intercepting police radio signals." "It's up to Train to gather information in front of the station." "That won't work..." "Huh?" "Train'll be back soon." " He's here." " I'm starving..." "No matter how far I went, all the stores were closed..." "Hey, Train, did you find anything?" "I'm starving because I didn't find anything." "See?" "Guess we don't have any other choice." "Here..." "Hmm?" "What's that?" ""Fishing"..." "Fishing?" ""Fishing" is one of the methods that we, sweepers, use to capture our targets." "You act as a decoy yourself to lure the target towards you, and capture him." " I see..." " I see..." "So, why'd it have to be me?" "People don't go out at night dressed like this in the first place, I'd say..." "There's no way I can!" "Gyanza targets women!" "Then, how about we decide it with this?" "Okay." "If it's heads, you'll do it." "If it's tails, I'll do it!" "All right!" "I'll be the decoy." "Wha?" "I mean, there's no way we can make her a decoy..." "Err, I mean, we couldn't possibly!" "I tell ya, err, I mean, I do declare I've lived as a gentleman for thirty years!" "There's no way I can just sit back and let a jerk like Gyanza have everything his way!" "Wouldn't you agree?" "My old lady, err, mother dearest always said to me..." ""You have to protect girls."" "That's right!" "I'll protect the women of the world!" "That despicable Gyanza!" "Now that it's come to this," "I'm gonna capture him no matter what!" "As a gentleman!" "No, as a "lady"!" "Gyanza isn't showing up..." "I... kind of don't think he will." "Oh, it's empty..." "Looks like I came a little too late..." "Come out, Gyanza..." "Come out, Gyanza..." "Come out Gyanza..." "Come ou, Oh, wait." "I wonder if I look like a woman..." "Oh yeah, definitely." "You look cute, really." "Gyanza!" "Oh, Ma'am!" "You're so beautiful!" "How about working at my place?" "H- h- h- h- h- h- h- h" " Hey!" " Hey!" "You don't have to be so shy!" " Aaahhh!" "Leave me alone!" "Looks like this place is as unsafe as people say..." "Yeah." "I caught something weird..." "In any case, I think the usual Sven's better..." "Was it that way!" "?" "Train!" "H- hold on!" "Sven!" "Come later with the princess!" "What!" "?" "H- hey!" "Eve, wait!" "F...from underground, an afro appeared..." "Gyanza!" "There you are!" "You broke your promise today, didn't you!" "?" "You promised that you'd join us if your power awakens..." "Sorry, but I'm breaking off that deal..." "Ah!" "As we suspected, you planned on breaking it, didn't you!" "?" "I changed my mind." "What can you do?" "But I appreciate you guys at least... because, thanks to you guys, I was able to gain this invincible power!" "You have a cute face." "It'll be cuter when it's contorted with pain..." "I bet you'll be crying with a sweet voice then..." "Stop right there!" "Now, come quietly, Gyanza." "I'm taking you into custody!" "Whoa!" "You came to rescue me again!" "Just as I thought, you're my fate, Kuro-sama!" "Ha!" "A sweeper, huh?" "Aaahhh!" "Help me, Kuro-sama!" "Kuro-sama!" "I'm dying!" "Save me quick!" "Let that girl go now!" "Aaaahhhh!" "What!" "?" "Kuro-sama!" "Train!" "Princess!" "Gyanza!" "You did it!" "Kuro-sama!" "Smoooch!" "Smoooch!" "Boy, you're shy, Kuro-sama!" "I'm not shy or anything!" "I guess it can't be helped." "I'll save my kiss for next time." "In the meantime..." "You get a popsicle for your good work!" ""Gunya Gunya Kun"!" " Huh?" " Here, milk flavor for you, Kuro-sama!" "Strawberry flavor for you." "And, tomato flavor for me!" "Hey, you're late." "I've already defeated him." "I was the one who defeated him." "I'm sorry, but I ran out popsicles!" "Hey, let's hurry up and arrest him so we can get the reward money and leave this town, Sven." "Please take me with you!" "Sven!" "?" "Drat!" "Sven Vollfied!" "I've been looking for you, Sven Vollfied!" "Long time no see, Gyanza!" "Be a good boy and let us take you in without a fight!" "Don't make me laugh!" "The hatred I felt then..." "I'll settle things right here, right now... with this power!" "Tao?" "That's right." "Sven!" "What!" "?" "Those hurt... a bit..." "This is fun!" "It looks like a game of whack-a-mole!" "Though we're the ones who're being hit..." "We don't have any other choice." "Train, do as I say!" "I know." "You want me to aim at his "right knee", right?" "What?" "I'm No." "XIII, Black Cat." "By watching his movements," "I can tell that he's got an old wound on his right knee." "That's right." "That's the wound I gave him when I caught him a while back." "Sounds like it's gonna hurt." "But can you aim at it him while he's like that?" "You'll be sorry if you keep underestimating me." "Okay, fine!" "I'm using a "burst bullet"!" "It's my turn now." "What's with the relaxed attitude!" "?" "That's no use, Gyanza." "My vision eye can see your defeat." "Train!" "Aim at him, angle 4 o'clock!" "Okay!" "Precognition?" "Yeah." "My right eye can catch a glimpse of the world in the future, although only a little." "Sven!" "Don't worry." "I get really exhausted when I use this ability." "Splendid work, Black Cat." "Oh, Charden-san!" "I've been looking for you, you know!" "Charden-san, this is my Kuro-sama." "Oh, no, I said "my"..." "Y- you're..." "H- hey, give me more of that stuff..." "I wanna be stronger!" "It's no use." "I didn't come to save you." "I only came to see the end of someone who misused the power." "Allow me to properly greet you." "How do you do, Black Cat." "I'm Charden, one of the members of the Apostles of the Stars." "Nice to meet you." "The Apostles of the Stars?" "Yes..." "It's a revolutionary group led by Creed Diskenth." "Creed..." "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"" "To you fools out there who're being controlled by an utterly corrupt secret organization!" "I announce that we, the Apostles of the Stars, will change the world!" "A festival will start." "A spectacular, bloody festival to take us off the wrong track..." "Train..." "Soon you'll know... what my ideals are..." ""Reckless Cat" what my ideals are..." ""Reckless Cat"" "Is Creed alive?" "Calm down, Train!" "He is alive... and, Black Cat, he wants very much to see you." "Where is he!" "?" "If you want to see him, I suggest you come to Sangeles City in three days." "I'll be there, too!" "What do you mean!" "?" "A wonderful festival will start there." "Please bring your friends with you, too." " Well, then..." " See ya!" "Wait!" "Train!" "Sangeles..." "City..." "Train..." "Sven, it's torn up..." "Aahh!" "The rental dress is!" "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." ""Reckless Cat"" "I see nothing particularly unusual, Jenos-sama." "When there's something unusual, we'll be in trouble." "But why are you, one of the Numbers, doing a task like security for the Summit, Jenos-sama?" "There're several things that I'm concerned about..." "Hmm?" "What's the matter?" "She's such a cutie!" "Y- yeah..." "Here in Sangeles City, under tight security, the Continental Summit is about to start." "Leaders from each country all convene to explore the possibility of a continental union, and this Summit is drawing citizens' attention." "In addition, there have also been some credible rumors, such as that there will be a terrorist attack." "This looks as if the city's under martial law." "They're probably showing off their military power to intimidate surrounding countries, though the fact is that they can't take care of their own country without Chronos." "What does that guy with the hat want to show us by calling us to a place like this?" "He said a festival'd start, or something like that, right?" "I wonder if we can see fireworks." "Seems like this'll be a different kind of festival." "That's no fun." "I wonder if it has something to do with the Summit." "I don't know." "That aside, I'm worried about Train..." "As soon as he heard the name "Creed", he disappeared on us." "A man connected to Train's past, huh?" "I have a bad feeling..." "When Train and that Creed guy face each other, something bad's definitely gonna happen." "So, you got worried and came after him, huh?" "Hell no!" "I have to pay for the rental dress that got tore up the other day... and, well, big cities have more wanted criminals with higher rewards..." "I know what you're thinking." "Since I looked into that eye of yours." "Honestly, that guy's really high-maintenance..." "Hey, what're you doing here!" "?" "Pursuing that duo led me here." "No!" "I'm not some woman that'll do whatever you want." " Echidna-san's pretty." " Please stay here forever." "I need you." "Let's get going." "Is it time already?" "Yes." "Do you think Kuro-sama'll come?" "Kuro-sama?" "He's Black Cat, so Kuro-sama." "I see..." "Why did you invite Kuro-sama to our festival, Charden-san?" "Because Creed wanted to see him." "Also, I sensed that he has the same aura as ours." "Really?" "It's the aura of a lonely soul." "Hmm..." "So, he may empathize with the goal of the Apostles of the Stars." "Then, Kuro-sama and I can fight together!" "?" "It'd be great if that happens..." "Why must you go now!" "?" "The die is already cast." "So, it'll start at last, Creed..." "Yeah, our festival will..." "Look at those fools, Echidna." "They don't know times have changed." "Are we ready?" "Yes." "Everyone's waiting for your signal." "We'll engrave today in history... as the day that we, the Apostles of the Stars, took a grand step forward into the world." "It seems that the sacrifice to bless our departure has appeared." "Oh?" "That's..." "Echidna Parass!" "I'm a big fan of hers!" "Maybe I should get her autograph?" "Yeah..." "Hmm?" "There's someone else." "Creed Diskenth!" "So, he's finally made a move." "Hmm?" "What the hell is that?" "Hey, what're you doing there!" "?" "You small fries!" "What!" "?" "I'm the gunman from the Apostles of the Stars, Durham." "Remember that." "Roger!" "We'll immediately head to District Y-13." "Y-13." "Hurry up." "Yes, sir!" "What's the matter?" "Seems like it's broken down." "What's wrong?" "My body..." "Heavy..." "Wh- what's this heaviness?" "A-are you doing this, you bastard?" ""Bastard"?" "How rude." "I, Maro, am a descendent of noble blood from Itairiku." "Hey, kid!" "What're you doing there?" "Are you alone, sonny?"

"What's the matter?" "C- can't breathe..." "See I told you... that it'd be dangerous if you came close to me." "Who... are you?" "Oh?" "You point a gun at a child?" "What a horrible police officer." "An adult like that should be..." "You asked me who I am?" "I'm Leon." "I'm a Taoist, who controls the air at will." "What in the world is happening!" "?" "I can hear explosions." "Various unconfirmed information is swirling around and the city is in tumult." "City residents, please keep calm and evacuate to a safe place." "It's them!" "No doubt about it!" "Wait." "Where're you going?" "I'll go bring back Train." "Even though you don't know where he is?" "In any case, I have no choice but to look for him, right!" "?" "How!" "?" "In the meantime at this Presidential Office Building, the Summit is about to start in this tumultuous environment." "This is 207." "We're currently heading toward District 12." "Over." "Smooch!"

"Everyone, please don't worry." "It seems that a trivial squabble has happened near the premises." "Our military should suppress it soo..." "That's..." "Yeah, no doubt about it..." "But what is she doing in a place like this?" "Y- you're Echidna Parass!" "Wh- what on earth..." "Let me introduce you to Creed Diskenth." "He's the leader of the "Apostles of the Stars", which will carve out a new history for this planet." "The "Apostles of the Stars" she said?" "Precisely." "We're a group of wise people who will take your place and rule the world." "That's no use." "Wh- what do you want?" "For you to die." "Kuro-sama!" "You came!" "Bring Creed here." "Kuro-sama..." "You don't have to be hasty." "You'll see him soon." "I've got no time to wait around." "Look around calmly." "How about that?" "Was it to your liking?" "These are fireworks for the festival." "Freeing people from utterly dirty rulers..." "It is an obligation for those with power to correct this corrupt world and return it to its old self..." "I want to see Creed, now!" "You're such a hasty man." "Okay, then." "It's time." "Okay." "That's..." "Creed!" "J- just now, the Presidential Office Building has collapsed before my eyes!" "What on earth is happening!" "?" "Oh!" "Is that a human figure?" "From the cloud of dust, a survivor appears, or..." "Hello, Train." "Long time no see." "What!" "?" "Did you see it... my power?" "I'm very excited to hear that you're in this town." "Hey, what're you gonna do!" "?" "What else!" "?" "I'm gonna stop Train!" "Sven..." "Train!" "Let me introduce you..." "We're the "Apostles of the Stars"!" "Congratulations, Train." "You made it on time for the Apostles of the Stars' memorable day." "Now, it's time for you to join me and..." "Why did you kill Saya?" "That look!" "That look in your eyes!" "That's the same hate-filled look from those days!" "It was worth killing that witch." "Don't mess with me!" "It's no use, Train." "T..." "Train!" "Stop, Train!" "You'll die!" "You can't compete with me with your current abilities." "But don't worry." "If you obtain the power of Tao, you, too, will..." "You bastard, I'll make you pay!" "That's my Train!" "But sadly it's pointless." "I'm not the same Creed from before." "You..." "This is the power of Tao." "It's wonderful, isn't it?" "If you join us, too, you'll get this power..." "That's disgusting!" "It's heavy, isn't it?" "That gun weighs over 200kg right now." "Take this!" "Bind to Earth Curse!" "Now, come with me, Train." "Who'd go... with you..." "You really are..." "Train!" "Idiot!" "Why'd you come!" "?" "Who the hell are you?" "Are you trying to interfere with my reunion with Train!" "?" "It wasn't a sword." "It was by a gun..." "Sven!" "Hey!" "Sven!" "Durham, you!" "Why did you shoot!" "?" "I'm sorry, Train, for ruining the banquet of our long-waited reunion..." "For today, I'll settle for the fact that I was able to see you..." "Looks like a worthless bunch sprouted around you again..." "I won't give up." "You'll surely come to me..." "Surely..." "Stop right there!" "What're you doing!" "?" "Let me go!" "Give it up!" "He's beyond your power!" "Creed!" "You, son of a bitch!" "Why did you stop me!" "?" "Enough with your recklessness!" "Are you trying to get yourself killed!" "?" "It's my life!" "That's none of your busi..." "Don't act like someone living on his own!" "Sven!" "How long do you plan to pout like that?" "Your were reckless, caused others trouble and ended up getting punched..." "How's it feel?" "It's stupid of Sven to have risked his own life for someone like you..." "I've looked into Sven's Vision Eye... 7 years ago, when Sven was still an IBI agent, he had a partner named Loyd." "Sven was very attached to him, and always worked on cases together with him." "But, on Loyd's daughter's birthday, since he didn't want to disturb that, he went to the hiding place of a vicious criminal alone..." "But..." "Loyd!" "...the one who was shot was Loyd, who wasn't supposed to be there." "He had the ability to see the future, so, he predicted Sven's crisis." "That's right, Sven's Vision Eye is Loyd's memento." "It's a past too serious for that frivolous man." "I'm hungry." "What?" "I won't ask too much." "Bacon and eggs, bread, and milk." "And, if a salad comes with that too, that'd be perfect." "Okay?" "Seems like you need more punches." "Hey, it hurts!" "Shut up!" "Compared to the pain in my heart, that's nothing!" "Ahh!" "You hit a wounded person?" "Don't fool with..." "What the!" "You bastard!"

"Wanna see my tattoo?" "Mister, someone's after you." "Don't call me Mister, señorita." "At least call me big brother." "Oh... after me, you said?" "Who?" "A man who looks like this... was talking with scary-looking people about attacking you." "So, you'd better run." "D- don't be silly." "I'm Black Cat." "I take out guys like that with my Haadysu..." "Well, then, señorita..." "Oops..." "So, you're Black Cat?" "Hey, one guy vs. Three..." "He has no chance of winning..." "The six o'clock bell will be the signal for the match." "Y- yeah..."

"Hey, miss... what did you come to a country town like this for?" "I'm meeting my friend!" "Meeting a guy?" "I'm jealous." "Touch me and you die." "Y- yes, ma'am." "Now, let's eat to our heart's content!" "At any rate, this is a cerebration for my escaping death... no, for my winning the duel." "But still, taking down three people in one instant..." "I'm so strong it's almost scary..." "Wh- what the?" "Hmm?" "Still, I wonder when I shot them..." "Oh, it's already this late..." "Señorita, where's your house!" "?" "I'll walk you home." " I don't have one." " What?" "What about your parents?" "I don't have any." "An orphan!" "You're like me!" "I see, I see..." "You're cute but you've been living a tough life, haven't you?" "Not really..." "Don't worry, you don't have to pretend." "Because I've been living all alone in this world, too." "I'm a respectable sweeper now, but before, people made fun of me, calling me wimpy Woodney..." "I really had a tough..." "I know!" "I'll be your big brother!" "If we travel together, you won't be lonely, right!" "?" "No thanks." "Why?" "If you're with Black Cat, there's nothing to be scared of!" "Why in the heck're you eating bread crusts in a tavern!" "?" "We did deep-fry them!" "What's going on?" "I can't help it." "Things didn't go as planed." "What?" "Time to work!" "Work?" "Did you forget!" "?" "You're still employed by me, aren't you?" "Employed?" "Shinkitou, okay!" "?" "Shinkitou!" "What!" "?" "You haven't given up yet?" "Of course not!" "We'll find the Apostles of the Stars' hideout and steal it!" "Is it okay to leave those two there?" "Yeah." "I think it'll be all right since I left a note for them to wait for me there." "Also, I don't want to involve Train and Eve in this." "I particularly don't want Train to get closer to the Apostles of the Stars." "Ouch..." "What happened?" "I don't know..." "You..." "Where did Black Cat go?" "I see, you chose to live alone, too, señorita." "If you're that determined about it, I won't ask any more." "Well, it may be hard for you, señorita, to live with a dangerous man like me." "Mister, I'm surprised to see you've been able to live this long." "That's because I'm extremely perceptive." "I reflectively dodge attacks, and shoot up the enemy with bullets from Haaydsu." "How should I put it..." "My body instinctively knows offence and defense, or, something like that..." "Well, even if I explain it, it's probably hard for an amateur to understand the mind-set of an expert..." "Duck, Mister!" "Hm?" "If I remember correctly, you're Black Cat's friend, aren't you?" "Now, tell me!" "Where's Black Cat!" "?" "If you don't tell me now..." "Hold it!" "Who the hell're you?" "I..." "I'm... u- uhm..." "Bla..." "Bla..." "Bla..." "Enough blabbering, just beat it already!" "Th- that's not it!" "Mister..." "D- don't worry, señorita." "Y- you've got Black Cat with you." "Come on!" "Pull yourself together!" "I'm the only one who can protect this señorita!" "Now!" "If you can, go ahead and shoot me!" "B- before you shoot, my Haadysu'll emit fire!" "I am... the world-renowned..." "Black Cat!" "?" "White milk and red milk.?" "?" "Yellow milk is, oh so bad!" "?" "?" "Oh yeah, it's our milk festival!" "?" "Hmm?" "Hey, princess!" "What're you doing in a place like this?" "Black Cat!" "Hmm?" "You're... that guy from!" "It's no use waiting for my bullets to run out." "This is a "spirit bullet" that I put my "spirit" into through this gun." "Then, how about this?" "Are you here on Creed's orders?" "Get lost!" "The only one I'm after is Creed." "You and Train are in different leagues." "Dammit!" "What!" "?" "You brought me along just for the heck of it!" "?" "Of course!" "There's no way that I'd know where the Apostles of the Stars' hideout is," "I tell you!" "Geez... give me a break..." "Where are we?" "Oh?" "What the heck're you doing in a place like this?" "Nothing big..." "Gee, you sure come up with cruel ideas..." "We'll have him guide us to the Apostles of the Stars' hideout." "It's a good idea, don't you think?" "So, who might this be?" "Mister said that he wants to be Train's disciple." "That's not nice, Miss." "You can stop calling me Mister now."

""Love Cat" I'll show everyone that I can definitely win Kuro-sama's heart!" ""Love Cat"" "Good morning!" "Hey, did you see it?" "You're talking about the show on TV yesterday, right?" "Hey!" "'Morning, Kyoko." "Oh, morning!" "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." ""Love Cat"" "You do realize why you were summoned here, don't you?" "Huh?" "Where did you run off to without telling your comrades, and for what purpose?" "Shut up!" "Where and when I go are none of your business!" "I see..." "But that is not so among us, comrades." "Creed, how is your wound?" "Creed, I went to fight... with the man who you said you wanted as our comrade." "Oh?" "With Train?" "And you lost miserably, right?" "You're no match for Train." "What!" "?" "He's the one man I truly respect... and a valuable comrade who will someday lead the Apostles of the Stars." "Ha!" "Just what's so special about that damn cat!" "?" "Is there anything else you wish to say?" "I won't be as careless next time." "I'll tear him into shreds, and..." "This conversation is over." "Oh dear... he's gone and done it." "Creed..." "Was it necessary to kill him?" "You have a problem with that, Charden?" "Well," "I do think that his words and actions were misguided..." "However, to execute our comrade with so little thought..." "He deserved to die." "He overestimated his abilities." "And you know what happens when one does that, don't you?" "That's how it is, Charden." "He had ceased to be our comrade." "He acted on his own and confronted Train, only to lose." "Yes... he was trash." "Our goal is to free the world from the iron grip of the Chronos Elders, and create a better world." "To Creed, are we just tools to achieve that goal... or perhaps I should say, just spare parts?" "What do you think?" "Hmm..." "He can be a little shy at times, and..." "I have a feeling that he's a late bloomer." "But, even those parts, I..." "Of course, I'm talking about Kuro-sama!" "Oh!" "Is something the matter?" "I saw it for the first time..." "your face without glasses!" "Huh?" "You're so handsome!" "Turn this way, please!" "H- hey..." "Kyoko-san." "I'm talking about a serious matter here..." "Too bad!" "If it wasn't for Kuro-sama, I might have fallen for you!" "Kuro-sama, huh?" "Kyoko-san..." "As things stand now, in order to achieve our goal, we may end up fighting against Black Cat." "What!" "?" "I can't do that!" "I agree..." "It's foolish to fight someone you love." "Hmm..." "What should I do?" "Caught a cold?" "Nah..." "So even you catch colds, Train." "You just insulted me, didn't you?" "Not really." "I'm in such a bind." "I think you should do what you believe is right." "What I believe is right?" "Are you really sure about this, Kyoko-san?" "You don't need to become a traitor, too, you know." "But if I remain an Apostle of the Stars, it looks like I'll have to fight Kuro-sama..." "And, I'd feel bad if you were all on your own, Charden-san..." "You really are a strange girl." "Really?" "You're the one who told me to do what I believed was right, Charden-san." "All right, then." "In any case, I will take you to town." "Then we'll part for now." "After I think this over a little, I'll contact you again." "Okay!" "I don't know what will happen from now." "Please be very careful." "Okay!" "I'll be fine!" "I know!" "When I get home, I'm gonna pay a visit to Kuro-sama!" "If I show up out of nowhere and give him a kiss," "I wonder if Kuro-sama will be happy!" "?" " How embarrassing!" " U- uhm, Kyoko-san, you should keep such fantasies to yourself." "Oh?" "Was I thinking out loud?" "Yes, very much so." "What!" "?" "Charden and Kyoko did?" "They're hopeless if they cannot follow our ideals." "What should we do?" "I'll go." "I doubt if they've gone far yet." "What do you want to do?" "I'm free, so I don't mind going along." "Well then, let's go have some fun." "What's that?" "A special bullet with nanomachines in it... though it's still experimental." "Shinkitou, which activates Tao powers, is essential to the Apostles of the Stars." "However, since each individual reacts to it differently, the success rate is low." "So I wondered if I'd be able to invent something that can replace it, and as a trial I created this..." "Lucifer..." "Lucifer?" "When a person is shot with this, his body will transform without fail." "However, since genes are rearranged randomly, there's no telling what kind of transformation will occur." "Wow, that's interesting!" "Then, let's try it on the girl first." "Kyoko Kirisaki, huh?" "All right." "Now, come to me..." "Kyoko Kirisaki!" "You've got some nerve not paying attention in my class!" "Why thank you." "Quit daydreaming!" "Come to the teachers' office after school!" "Okay!" "Just what is the matter with you?" "Your grades have been going down steadily." "Yes, that's true." "And, you have too many unexcused absences!" "You recently missed one week of school!" "Where did you go?" "Well..." "I do understand that you get lonely being all alone since your parents work abroad." "I'm worried about you, you know." "The world is a dangerous place lately, and incidents have been occurring everywhere." "When I think that something might happen to you while you were absent from school, I..." "I..." "Oh..." "She's gone..." "Hey, Kyoko." "Just what where you doing when you were absent from school?" "Well... this and that." "Don't tell me you were at some guy's house!" "Oh, no way!" "Kyoko prefers candies to guys!" "Come to think of it, it's almost Heart Gift Day!" "Oh... is it that time already?" "Who should I give my heart to this year?" "Oh yeah..." "That's right!" "All I have to do is express my feeling to Kuro-sama with chocolates!" "Oh sorry!" "You did that on purpose, didn't you!" "?" "Shut up!" "It's already done!" "What can I do?" "I'm saying don't spray snot my way!" "You just happened to be in the way of my snot!" "What'd you say!" "?" "Gossiping..." "Huh?" "Someone who begrudges you is gossiping about you, Train." "And bad luck will soon come your way..." "Bad luck?" "Yes, bad luck..." "Lala, Kuro-sama, yay!" "All right!" "I just have to refrigerate this so that it'll harden and... it'll be done!" "Once he eats this, I bet Kuro-sama will be very happy!" "Thank you, Kyoko..." "Aahhh!" "Oh, stop that, Kuro-sama!" "Please let me meet with Kuro-sama tomorrow..." "All right!" "Good night, Kuro-sama!" "Hey Sven..." "Huh?" "I'm hungry..." "You ate breakfast already, you know." "Huh!" "?" "That was one measly cup noodle!" "Besides, it's evening already!" "If you have any complaints, go find some work for a change." "Okay, fine!" "I'll get us a big-paying job!" "I'm coming, too." "Oh?" "You coming, too, princess?" "Okay, then!" "Let's find a big fish together!" "I'll find a bigger fish than you." "Done!" "It's done!" "It's done!" "Let me see..." "First, I must go where sweepers gather." "Hhmm..." "Let's see, which of these looks easy?" "Kuro-sama!" "Aahh!" "Ow, ow, ow, ow..." "Argh!" "At last we meet!" "Huh!" "?" "A cat again!" "If I remember right, you're one of the Apostles of the Stars..." "Right!" "But I quit the Apostles of the Stars!" "Huh?" "Quit?" "It's just..." "I don't want to fight you, Kuro-sama," " and so, and so..." " Train, I don't think she's lying." "You really quit?" "Yes!" "Never mind that, I have something I want to give you today." "What do you think it is!" "?" "Tad!" "Hey, girlie..." " Aren't you even gonna apologize?" " You're hurting me." "Please let me go!" "Here!" "Don't act so cocky!" "It's a big mistake if you think an apology would cut it." "I won't forgive you!" "I went to all that trouble... to make it, 'cause..." "I wanted Kuro-sama to eat it!" "Train Kick!" "Kuro-sama!" "You're no longer one of them, right?" "Uhm, no." "Then, don't use those powers ever again." "Kuro-sama..." "Okay, I got it!" "Hey, this is pretty good." "Wanna try some, too, princess?" "No thanks." "Well, it's a bit spicy." "Why you!" "How dare you!" "Argh!" "It's hot!" "I wonder if I added too much habanero pepper?" "W- water!" "Water!" "Water!" "Water!" "So they've come in pursuit." "Please be careful, Kyoko-san." "Ow, ow..." "Kyoko Kirisaki." "Yes!" "Doctor-san..." "What!" "?" "Oh dear..." "If it isn't Black Cat..." "Ha!" "Now this is a very interesting development." "Kuro-sama!" "You bastard!" "What the hell do you think you're doing!" "?" "Looks like we've been interrupted..." "I'll come back to properly introduce myself, Black Cat." "I look forward to seeing your appearance when next we meet." "What?" "Leon, we're leaving." "Kuro-sama!" "Kuro-sama!" "I'm so sorry!" "I..." "Don't worry, it's just a scratch." "Kuro-sama!" "Ouch!" "Arghh!" "The wound'll open!" "So, the bad luck was really..." "What's wrong?" "The food's getting cold." "Huh?" "Aren't you going to eat?" "It's not that I won't eat." "I can't eat!" "Of all food, why does it have to be super-spicy noodles!" "?" "Kuro-sama!" "H- hey, why're you here!" "?" "She's with the Apostles of the Stars!" "You don't have to worry about her." "That's why I told her that we're staying here." "You told her!" "?" "Well... if I didn't tell her, I thought she'd stalk you." "What!" "?" "What do you want!" "?" "I came because I was worried!" "I wanted to see if your wound on your arm was okay." "I look forward to seeing your appearance when next we meet." "What did he mean by that?" "What's wrong, Train?" "Kuro-sama?" "Kuro-sama?" "Train?" "Y- you..." "What?" "Since your new black boots caused a blister, you rest your right foot" "We'll keep walking along with our own rhythm, without rushing" "Don't say anything because we'll soon understand each other" "I'm just holding you now to keep you warm" "I'm completely wrapped around you, so..." "Quietly the powder-like snow is building up..." ""Next Episode"" ""Next Episode" Train has turned into a kid... due to the effects of the nanomachines, just like what they did to me." "I'm worried about what will happen to Train." "But, it's like I have a little brother now so I'm a little happy about that." "It's a good chance to teach him things like manners..." "Train, for starters, you will listen to everything Sister tells you." "Understand?" ""Little Cat" Train, for starters, you will listen to everything Sister tells you." "Understand?" ""Little Cat"" "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." ""Little Cat"" "I heard it's a rough neighborhood, but it's a good place to lie low." "D- don't laugh!" "Tada!" "Kyoko returns!" "We bought these..." "Oh, you saved me!" "I can finally dress normal." "Here you go, Kuro-sama!" "Oh?" "Let me see..." "You look so cute, Kuro-sama!" "I've always wanted a little brother like this!" "Next!" "They look good on you, Train!" "You look cute, really..." "Wow!" "You look lovely, Kuro-sama!" "Hmm..." "looks pretty good." "Anyway, we have to think of a way to get you back to normal again." "Not to worry!" "If I just keep eating and sleeping a lot, I'll be good as new." "You don't have a cold!" "Actually, that may work for Train." "If you were shot by that weirdo doctor in the Apostles of the Stars, rather than this being the result of Shinkitou or Tao, it's probably something related to nanotech..." "Nanotech?" "Right, nanotech..." "Nanotech..." "Well, it seems a little different from Eve's case, though..." "Eve..." "Nanotech..." "Nanotech?" "Eve!" "If that's the case, then, I wonder if I have "transform" ability, too..." "Huh?" "Transform..." "Wing!" "Huh?" "That hurt!" "Sven!" "My wings aren't appearing!" "Of course not, idiot..." "Man, that sucks!" "Oh well, I guess I have no other choice but to take a walk on my own feet." "Oh, wait, Kuro-sama!" "I'm coming, too!" "I guess it's up to me..." "Eve, I'm going to contact Rins and try looking into this nanotech thing." "So, sorry to ask you this, but while I'm out, could you keep an eye on him and make sure he stays out of trouble?" "Okay, I got it." "Thanks." "Here you go, sweetie." "Thanks, lady." "You know, Kuro-sama..." "This feels like we're on a lovey-dovey date, don't you think!" "?" "No, no... your small stature doesn't bother me!" "If we love each other, size is no matter!" "My goodness, I said "love"!" "I'll take you no matter what size you are!" "I'm Kyoko the invincible!" "Usually, I can drink at least ten bottles... but now, I can barely finish one bottle." "It's not just milk..." "Everything that I'm used to seeing everyday looks larger." "The town, the people, and..." "I got it!" "Fool, don't get excited about something like that." "This is how you do it." "Now, relax your shoulders more, take a breath, and focus all your attention on it." "And then, shoot." "What's wrong, Kuro-sama?" "Kuro-sama, wait for me!" "Heya, Kyoko here!" "Oh, Miki!" "Yeah, I know it's been a while." "Huh?" "Me?" "I'm on a date." "Hey Tim... give me your answer." "You'll leave that deserted factory, won't you?" "Ha!" "As if!" "What?" "I won't be responsible for whatever happens to that kid then." "Let Meg go!" "It'd be better for you if you do what I say while I'm still being nice." "Or, would you all prefer to live together in peace in the netherworld?" "Damn you!" "Who's there!" "?" "Bro!" "Quit terrorizing people." "Get lost." "I'll let you go for today!" "Hello?" "Oh hi, Sven..." "You're here already?" "That was quick." "So where are you now?" "Behind you." "Yo!" "Even if you ask me how to fix it," "I didn't find any info during that nanotech incident at the Torneo mansion, so..." "I see..." "Is Train's condition that serious?" "So far it's not that serious," "But there's no guarantee that things will remain that way." "Okay, I'll try digging up some information about it." "Thanks." "Oh!" "It's Tim!" "Welcome back!" "Welcome back, Tim." "Hey Layla." "Those gangsters beat you up again, didn't they?" "It's nothing." "Just leave me alone!" "What're you saying?" "You're hurt!" "You said your name was Train, right?" "Would you help us?" "For what?" "Gangsters are after this old factory site." "They say they want to build some huge amusement center here." "And?" "We want to protect our home!" "In order to drive them away, we need someone strong!" "No thanks..." "It has nothing to do with me." "Dammit!" "Tell me your story." "We're all orphans." "Some of us lost our parents in the civil war, while others were abandoned for one reason or another." "We all did odd jobs like polishing shoes and lived a very quiet life..." "That is, until the gangsters appeared." "Tim's parents were killed by gangsters." "So he's been adamant about taking revenge." "Dammit!" "Why isn't he here at a time like this!" "?" "Who is he talking about?" "The former leader of this place." "Our precious friend." "Precious friend..." "Train..." "Princess..." "Tim is determined to defeat the gang, even if he has to do it alone... in order to protect everyone, and to take revenge." "Revenge?" "Yes." "Taking revenge... 117... 118... 119... 120... 121..." "What's wrong?" "If you stop to rest, you're dead." "122..." "Drink, it's milk." "Don't want any." "Just drink it." "It tastes good and it's good for you." "There's no harm in it." "If you want to get strong, drink it." "Get strong..." "That's stupid..." "I'm going to stay here for a while." "What?" "Because Tim is doing everything he can to protect his friends." "I want to protect Tim and everyone here." "Princess..." "So the burden on my shoulder really is more than I thought..." "You were too rash." "When you want to kill your enemy, don't aim for his head." "The head is a small target, so it's difficult to aim for." "Aim for the heart." "If you aim for the heart, even if you miss, you're sure to hit somewhere else." "And, train to strengthen your arm." "You can forget about it, if you can't handle the recoil." "I'll... kill you!" "At least your desire to kill is that of a man's..." "Getting revenge, huh..." "Such tight security on every site I've checked!" "This name..." ""Tearju Lunatique..." "an authority on nanotechnology..." "Was active in various fields related to nanotech at the age of 14."" "I see, if I find her..." ""Present whereabouts unknown..." "One of her specialties is making omelets, however, taste may vary."" "Omelets?" ""When heated, NAPO albumin, the primary component in proteins, will..."" "What the heck is this!" "?" "Yuck!" "What's this!" "?" "It's burnt black!" "I can't eat this stuff!" "Now, now!" "Don't be so rude!" "But..." "Eve, uhm..." "Hey, looks good!" "Huh?" "Hey, what's this black thing?" "An omelet." "Oh, did you make it, princess?" "Have some..." "Me!" "?" "Oh!" "Big-brother's gonna eat it!" "What!" "?" "No way!" "You're brave!" " Eat it!" " Eat it!" " Eat it!" " Eat it!" "Eat it!" "Ea..." " Eat it!" "Eat it!" "Ea..." " Eat it!" "Eat it!" "Ea..." " Whoa!" " Whoa!" " Whoa!" "It tastes normal... just a bit burnt." "Wow!" "That's amazing!" "Can't sleep?" "Until I came here, I always gazed at the moon all alone." "Say Eve, let's be friends." "What?" "Say you will." "S- sure..." "Thank you." "You're not capable of using that." "Did you think that you'd be able to avenge your parents if only you had a gun?" "I wonder if Tim and Leon will be happy for me for making friends with you..." "Leon?" "The former leader of this place..." "the one I told you about earlier." "He's away now, though." "What is it!" "?" "Are you gonna lecture me?" "Don't do it." "I'm not saying to forget about avenging your parents, but you're the leader of this place, aren't you?" "Tim is always so rash..." "so I'm always worried." "I mean... standing up to those gangsters is too dangerous." "Don't forget that there are people who need you." "If you die..." "Why?" "Why are you... covered in blood!" "?" "It seems that I was..." "one of the powerless, too." "What're you saying!" "?" "Listen well, Train." "In this world, power is everything." "Don't rely on anyone." "The only one you can depend on, is yourself." "Hold on a second!" "You're my goal!" "I'm the one who killed your parents." "And I'm... your goal... huh?" "If you want to become better than me..." "live!" "By yourself!" "Become stronger than anyone and anything, and prove that you're a survivor!" "Train Heartnet!" "I know that!" "I know that, but I..." "Eve, why are you a sweeper?" "I have someone who cares about me." "Oh, a sweetheart?" "What's that?" "It's them!" "Everyone, stay inside." "Tim!" "Hey you brats!" "You're leaving this factory today for sure!" "Hey!" "Where's that kid from earlier today?" "Go away!" "This is our home!" "What!" "?" "You damned brat!" "Who the hell is that!" "?" "Hold it right there, you brat!" "Don't give us too much trouble!" "Meg!" "Ha!" "First, hand over his gun!" "If I give it to you, will you release the girl?" "Sure." "What the!" "?" "Damn you!" "Layla!" "Wanna finish him?" "You decide." "Tim..." "Aren't you gonna shoot?" "He's not even worth killing!" "Don't ever show your face before us again!" "Get out of this town!" "Where've you been?" "Just out." "Sheesh!" "Who do you think I'm running around for!" "?" "Huh?" "What's up, Eve?" "A sweetheart?" "No luck!" "Not a damned lead!" "Kuro-sama!" "Where are you?" "Train..." "Hey, he's not small!" "You're... back to normal." "No way!" "Huh?" "Oh yeah..." "Making us worry for nothing!" "Geez..." "All that trouble!" "I wonder if the hot water made you big..." "Train... you're just like... cup noodles." "Wha!" "?" "It seems Black Cat is back to normal." "Did the effect wear off?" "Or..." "Well, whatever... since we got some good data as a result." "Since your new black boots caused a blister, you rest your right foot" "We'll keep walking along with our own rhythm, without rushing" "Don't say anything because we'll soon understand each other" "I'm just holding you now to keep you warm" "I'm completely wrapped around you, so..." "Quietly the powder-like snow is building up..." ""Next Episode"" ""Next Episode" Hmm..." "Thinking about it, it isn't too bad living the easy life as a kid..." "Hmm..." "Thinking about it, it isn't too bad living the easy life as a kid..." "How would you say it, the burdens of relationships?" "You don't have to worry about things like that, so..." "I mean, I shoulder quite a few burdens myself." "What?" "Sephiria is coming to see me?" "Oh, crap!" "That woman is scary!" "Maybe I should run!" ""Receding Cat"" "Wow, now this is a surprise... to be visited by No." "I herself." "If there is a mission which only I can fulfill," "I would go anywhere." "Are you gonna ask me to return to Chronos again?" "No..." "Draw your Hades, Heartnet." "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." ""Receding Cat"" "We'll form a half-circle and launch a concentrated attack." "Let's go!" "Humph..." "They mock us Chrono Numbers, don't they, Nizer?" "You bastard!" "Let Creed go!" "It's too late." "This is the way... the Chrono Numbers live!" "Creed!" "N" " Nizer!" "Witness how the Chrono Numbers live!" "Beluga!" "Beluga!" "The destructive acts by those calling themselves the Apostles of the Stars continues worldwide." "This video was sent by the Apostles of the Stars to news organizations around the world." "It also contains a statement by the person considered to be the leader of this terrorist group." "Please take a look." "My name is Creed Diskenth." "I am the leader of the Apostles of the Stars." "To all of you who are watching this video, I shall reveal the truth." "The truth about Chronos, the secret organization which controls the world... and how it will meet its end..." "Chronos?" "What does he mean by control?" "Never mind that." "Let's go to the beach." "Those who wish to be free of them..." "Come join me!" "We, the Apostles of the Stars, will free the world!" "Let me ask you just one more time." "Where is No." "I?" "I have no obligation to answer that." "Do you belong to the Apostles of the Stars!" "?" "No, I am simply... one who harbors a grudge against Chronos." "The stability of the world is maintained solely by the iron grip of Chronos." "However, in this past month alone, over ten nations have announced their intentions of cutting ties with Chronos." "Furthermore, our existence is on the verge of being made public!" "This all started when we allowed Creed Diskenth and No." "XIII's defection from the organization!" "And we are starting to lose some of the Numbers." "We cannot let this situation continue any further!" "It's likely that the elders are considerably toughening their stance towards Sephiria." "Dammit!" "If only we had been able to defeat Creed." "Not only that, we even lost Nizer and Beluga..." "If you're thinking about them, then wait until the right opportunity comes." "You can fight for them, and bring Creed down." "I know that!" "Until the last head falls, Cerberus is not dead!" "During a long battle, sometimes you need to bide your time." "We will regroup our forces." "You focus on healing your wound." "Well, I doubt we have time for that." "Mason-dono!" "Sephiria Arks..." "Yes, Willzark-sama." "Can I expect that Chronos will recover from this?" "The replacements for Nos. X, V, and XI are now being evaluated." "I should be able to report on the results shortly." "And as for the former No." "XIII..." "The Apostles of the Stars are still like newborn babes..." "But given time, who knows what monsters they will turn into." "You're absolutely right." "We must not let it get away... a golden opportunity, that is..." "Belze... as of this moment," "I am temporarily turning over the command of Chrono Numbers to you." "VII and XII, please assist him." " Understood!" " Understood!" "And what will you do in the meantime?" "Sephiria..." "There's no reason for you to go see him, is there?" "There is something I want to verify." "Are you going to verify it by talking to him?" "Or by fighting him?" "Please hold the fort for 24 hours." "Got it." "In your absence," "I will not allow the Apostles of the Stars to step one foot in here!" "I let him slip away..." "Poke!" "What's the big idea, princess!" "?" "You're too slow, Train." "What'd you say!" "?" "Don't get so worked up." "Since you said you wanted to do some rehab now that your body is back to normal," "Since you said you wanted to do some rehab now that your body is back to normal, we're taking a vacation and not looking for any new work." " Yeah, yeah..." " He's right!" "Before our measly savings run out, get better so that you can earn money again!" "Yeah, yeah..." "You're more worried about money than your friend's health!" "?" "Well, there's such a thing as priorities after all, and..." "What's the matter?" "Err... nothing." "Draw your Hades, Heartnet." "Sorry, I don't feel like it." "I've left Chronos, but I have no intention of fighting you." "Heartnet, this freedom you gained... is it the freedom to leave Chronos and die?" "It's the freedom to continue living the way I want outside Chronos." "Then, I want you to return Hades." "That's right... you're the one who gave it to me." "Let us fight together... for Chronos and the stability of the world..." "A gun is merely a tool to kill people." "Since you've sworn never to kill anyone anymore, you should not need Hades." "No can do." "For the lives that I've taken with this... there're things that I have to do..." "How unfortunate." "Then, it seems I have no choice but to take it away from your dead body!" "The rain was also icy cold that night..." "Your mission..." "So you've completed your mission?" "Heartnet..." "As you continue to fulfill your missions, the day will come when you stop trembling." "However, you took a life..." "you must never forget that feeling." "It is indeed the case that we only fulfilled the mission for the noble cause of Chronos." "However, we drew our weapons and struck." "That feeling, that moment belongs to you;" "you must always remember." "While I was in the Numbers, I had forgotten your words from that night." "But now..." "I feel that I finally understand the sentiment behind your words." "The irony in killing for a noble cause..." "Chrono Numbers are the ones who should understand it the most." "It's impossible, Sephiria." "When you're in a high place, you can't see your feet." "Are you saying that's why you left Chronos?" "You're giving me too much credit." "The life of a stray cat just suited me better." "That's all." "It's unfortunate, Heartnet." "It's true that there're those in the Numbers who feel no pain in staining their hands in blood." "That's why I..." "I intended to kill you with my first strike..." "I'd expect no less from No." "I." "That was close!" "However, you are already... inside my barrier." "You will not get away!" "Charden Flamberg!" "A deserter of the Apostles of the Stars!" "Deserter!" "?" "You are truly the captain of Chrono Numbers." "You know about me, too..." "I'd suggest that you do not move." "I see..." "So this is what you mean by barrier." "Black Cat..." "I no longer have to fight you." "Please leave this place." "Why are you trying to kill Sephiria when you've left the Apostles of the Stars?" "Why?" "You ask me why?" "What do you mean?" "Chronos is a great evil which threatens the entire world." "Didn't you leave the organization because you could not accept that?" "Well, the Apostles of the Stars are just as bad as Chronos, aren't they?" "You are absolutely right." "That is why I chose the same path you took." "You, of all people, should be able to understand my way of living." "Sorry, I can't." "That is unfortunate..." "Black Cat!" "Now's my chance!" "She found an opening!" "Better forget it." "You can't beat Sephiria." "Chronos is a giant." "You've left the Apostles." "Do you think you can defeat Chronos all by yourself?" "That is why I became an assassin." "Even a lowly worm can bring down a giant by directly attacking its central nerve!" "How pitiful..." "Then, you shall have your wish." "Don't, Sephiria!" "This battle does not concern you, Heartnet." "She is absolutely right!" "I will fight to bring down the great evil, even if it kills me!" "It's useless." "Stop!" "Apostles of the Stars or members of Chronos, I don't care..." "I won't allow anyone to be killed!" "So this is your battle, Heartnet?" "There are other uses for a gun besides killing." "I learned that from my best friend." "Your best friend, you say?" "Someone who taught me about freedom." "This is?" "A bullet made of orichalcum." "I entrust this with you." "Heartnet, I will be looking forward to seeing how you use that orichalcum bullet." "Sephiria..." "I was unable to side with the Apostles of the Stars... nor was I able to bring down Chronos..." "I am so powerless." "However..." "Oh geez!" "Where the heck is our breakfast cook wandering about!" "?" "No breakfast today?" "Well?" "I'm starving..." "When'd he?" "Hey, it's been a while since so many of us were summoned together, hasn't it?" "Yeah, looks like things are kinda serious this time..." "Kinda?" "So what is No." "VI doing at a serious time like this?" "Both the captain and I are keeping tabs on his movements." "So there's no problem." "I see." "Acting alone, huh?" "That's just like him." "Lin Shaolee, our newly appointed No." "X." "As proof of your entrance into Chrono Numbers," "I'm granting you this..." "A veil made of orichalcum, Seiren..." "Let us fight together... for Chronos and the stability of the world..." "Yes, I would like to be of help." "Continue to carry your Hades, Heartnet." "But in doing so, you must continue to prove your sentiments and beliefs." "Yeah, I know." "Sephiria-san," "I have an idea..." "Since your new black boots caused a blister, you rest your right foot" "We'll keep walking along with our own rhythm, without rushing" "Don't say anything because we'll soon understand each other" "I'm just holding you now to keep you warm" "I'm completely wrapped around you, so..." "Quietly the powder-like snow is building up..." ""Next Episode"" ""Next Episode" What!" "?" "What!" "?" "Creed and the others are on the wanted list?" "And the reward is... 3 billion!" "?" "Even if you're not a sweeper, you just have to go for it!" "Not!" "Who'd want to take a risk like that!" "?" "I mean, they're a formidable bunch!" "There's no way there's someone dumb enough to risk his life" ""Cat that Hunts a Dragon" over a job like that!" ""Cat that Hunts a Dragon" Oh, there is." "Creed, there's a 3 billion bounty on your head." "I wonder if they're trying to get lowly sweepers to take care of us..." "Such a futile idea..." "Maybe..." "Train will see it and..." "Oh..." "This is getting interesting!" "Akabane's good in the spring, huh?" "Oof... whoops, sorry..." "Oh?" "You're a real tall one, aren't you?" "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 that Hunts a Dragon"" "Oh, he spit a fireball!" "Yeah!" "You show 'em!" "Yeah, right there!" "Go for it!" "Yay!" "Yay!" "Where's Rins?" "She was determined to sleep in a nice, fluffy bed, so she checked into a ritzy hotel." "We've been sleeping outdoors for a while, so..." "I'd like a nice, fluffy bed, too." "A hard bed at a cheap hotel isn't so bad, you know..." "Looks like you're hard-up as usual?" "What're you doing here!" "?" "Want to know!" "?" "No, I don't!" "Give me pancakes and coffee... black!" "What a way to greet me after so long!" "Oh, your daughter looks well, too!" "Like I said, she's not my daughter!" "Hey lady, I want rice balls." "One with salmon, one with cod roe." "Seems like your family structure is as complicated as ever..." "They're not!" "Well, every family has its problems." "Cripes!" "At any rate, he's late... your apprentice." "Well, he'll be here in time... especially since he e-mailed me and asked me to meet him here." ""I've found a big job." "Please come to the sweepers' café in Freesia Town."" "A big job, huh?" "I seriously hope so!" "We're really in a bind here." "If we don't find work, we won't be able to pay our tab here..." "No tab this time, for real!" "Oh, this divine aroma!" "These must not be the usual coffee beans." "It's instant coffee." "Instant coffee at a café?" "Anything good?" "Pretty sad, as usual." "3 billion!" "?" "What's with this ridiculous bounty?" "What kind of man is worth this much?" "Creed!" "Hey, are you looking for a fight!" "?" "Shh!" "There's a reason I don't want him to see this wanted poster." "Is this reason also complicated?" "Uh-huh..." "When did this wanted poster come in?" "The day before yesterday, I think." "But the sweepers say the reward money is so high it's scary..." "They're all hesitant about it." "Well, there's no way they'd offer such a high reward for a run-of-the-mill criminal, so..." "Then, there're people like him who immediately comes up with a business like that." "A sweeper alliance?" "I heard that they're gathering elite sweepers in order to go after that 3 billion." "This is bad!" "Can't let Train see something like this." "Hey!" "Another rice ball, please, this time make it tuna-mayo." "And can you add a drop of soy sauce in the mayo?" "Okay, one tuna-mayo." "What're you doing, Sven?" "N- nothing!" "Tuna-mayo is the best ingredient when it comes to rice balls, isn't it!" "?" "Tuna-mayo's really delicious, yep!" "Hhhmmmm..." "All right!" "I'll pay for the rice balls myself!" "Cheapskate!" "Bro!" " At long last!" " Hey!" "Calm down!" "Right, right." "We have to talk about work." "I heard this from an old friend of mine who is an information broker." "Don't be shocked now!" "Just by finding someone's pet, you get 100,000, believe it or not!" " 100,000?" " 100,000?" "That wasn't much of a reaction..." "Of course not!" "You made us come all the way to a place like this for a measly 100,000!" "?" "I'm sorry..." "But... what're you doing over there, sir?" "Leave me alone." "Oh I know!" "Eve, Train, you two take on that job." "With 100,000, you'll be able to sleep in a nice, soft bed." "I'll do it!" "Hey Train, let's do it!" "Well, I don't know..." "Let's do it, Bro!" "You'll be able to order oden to go with your rice balls." "Okay!" "All settled, then!" "I'm ecstatic!" "Our client is Madam Freesia, a celebrity, whose pet business earns 10 billion annually!" "Oh, Flora-chan..." "M" " Madame!" "I'm so worried about her, I can't sleep." "We are here, so you can stop worrying." "So, is she a dog?" "Or a cat?" "Flora-chan is not a common animal like that, dahling." "Of course not!" "She's much more somber, isn't she?" "She is the dream creature that resulted from exhaustive efforts by my Madame Freesia Pet Company, dahling!" "A monster?" "Do be quiet!" "Flora-chan is very lovely and cute, dahling!" "Of course!" "She's cubed, right!" "?" "So, what are her charming points?" "Her darling fangs." "Certainly, fangs are lovely!" "And her sharp claws." "And of course, claws!" "She has a bad habit of sleeping by day and waking by night." "Viva nocturnal habits!" "What does she eat?" "Raw meat, dahling." "She's a... carnivore?" "Do you have a picture?" "It's from six months ago, though, dahling..." "Oh, it's just a lizard..." "Silence!" "I sort of feel sorry for her." "Huh?" "This pet Flora..." "She was created by humans just because they wanted..." "And locked up against her will..." "I wonder how she feels about herself?" "There's no use in thinking about that stuff." "Flora was born, so she's probably living it up, dahling." "Don't say "dahling"." "Job interview, open anytime..." "Another small fry came..." "Did you read that poster carefully?" "It says "Brave" sweepers wanted, doesn't it?" "In other words, you're not wanted." "What a greeting." "Beat it, you lame duck." "We don't need old men or women." "What're you doing, woman!" "?" "Next time, I won't miss." "Why you!" "Friends shouldn't fight amongst each other." "I'm honored that you've come... former IBI agent, Sven Vollfied-san." "I am Grin, an information broker." "Hey!" "We're looking for someone who's lost." "Lost?" "Madame Freesia's pet ran away." "Pet?" "It can't be!" "This is her pet." "Flora!" "Flora has... run away!" "What's wrong?" "You look pale." "Aahh!" "This is terrible!" "Flora's loose in town!" "?" "What was that?" "Oh yes... this is the real me." "Oh?" "All men go crazy over me." "Oh dear..." "What?" "Am I that attractive?" "Aahh!" "W- what was that!" "?" "A big fuss over a lizard, dahling." "I said stop saying "dahling"!" "Being a sweeper is a business, too." "In terms of efficiency, you should always go after targets with a high bounty." "However, if the bounty is high, so is the risk." "The reward for Creed is 3 billion." "It goes up to 5 billion for all of the Apostles of the Stars." "So you can imagine the risk is off the scales." "And... reducing risk is a fundamental of business." "That's why you suggest we join forces?" "If we work together, we can definitely win." "And what's our cut?" "Split evenly?" "Of course." "I don't like it." "I agree splitting it with a kid like you, who'll only get in the way, isn't fair." "I wonder who's the one who'll get in the way?" "What'd you say!" "?" "You're pretty cocky, kid!" "Quit fighting over every little thing." "More importantly..." "Do you know the whereabouts of the Apostles of the Stars... or rather Creed Diskenth?" "Of course." "Hmm..." "Flora-chan, huh?" "She looks pretty noticeable." "So, you'll probably find her right away." "Actually, we have absolutely no clues." "You must use your head for something like this." "Use our heads?" "I see!" "You're saying viva nocturnal habits!" "You're so smart, Miss!" "Geez!" "Why do I have to come along with you!" "?" "This is ruining my dress!" "Aw c'mon... keep us company!" "Man, this is the pits!" "Whenever I get involved with you, nothing good..." "What was that?" "Th- th- that was..." "Probably a carp or something just jumped out of the water." "As if you'd find carp in here!" "?" "L" " It sounded pretty ominous to me..." "Something might leap out of the gutter before long!" "What's wrong?" "I sense something." "Where is Creed!" "?" "Once you become a member of the sweeper alliance, I shall tell you." "Quid pro quo, huh?" "This is business, after all." "It can't be helped." "And what of you others?" "Yeah." "Fine." "We don't have a choice, do we?" "Sure." "Excellent." "Well then, I declare the formation of the sweeper alliance!" "So you're a sweeper, too?" "Don't you know!" "?" "River Zastory is pretty famous!" "Never heard of you." "So what's a famous person like you doing in a place like this?" "Well..." "I got lost." "Lost?" "How'd you end up underground like this?" "I'm not good with directions!" "So?" "Where were you headed?" "None of your business!" "Fine!" "Then, let's go!" "See ya!" "Well, we're in a hurry, so..." " Good bye." " Uh, oh..." "Just keep wandering around for a while and you'll be able to find a way out." "There's something down here, though." "L" " I guess it can't be helped!" "So who'll be our leader?" "We don't need one." "A group without an able leader has no chance of winning." "If there's no one, I'll be..." "Don't make me laugh!" "You haven't got a chance." "But... he may be better than you two." " What'd you say!" "?" " What'd you say!" "?" "Cripes, what a bother!" "Hey..." "Do you seriously think that you can have these guys work together?" "I do." "They're not the type to listen to others." "You all are professionals, so..." "Oh boy... now there aren't any walkways..." "Where the hell is this lizard!" "?" "Now that it's come to this, I'll definitely make sure that we get the money!" "And, why are you following us?" "I'm helping you!" "Having me around gives you peace of mind, doesn't it!" "?" "Yeah right." "Hey, why're you looking at me like that?" "You want that money for your dress, right?" "Having another person will help you find it faster..." "What peace of mind!" "?" "It's close!" "What was that noise?" "This place really is ominous!" "Geez, such pathetic men!" "We have no choice." "Let's go in the direction of that noise." " What!" "?" " What!" "?" " What!" "?" "Because it's certain that there's something over there." "Not me!" "Definitely no way!" "I can't!" "I can't!" "Huh?" "Why me!" "?" "You said you'd help!" "You're a famous sweeper, right?" "Damn, it stinks in here!" "This lizard is such a pain!" "There's something that I want to confess..." "T- to be honest, I... don't like dark places." "Ouch!" "Hey, why're you just standi..." "They're taking a long time." "It hasn't even been ten minutes." "He surely wouldn't have abandoned us, would he?" "Bro!" "You came back for us!" "Bro!" "Huh?" "Looks like it grew this much in six months." "That's too much growth!" "What was that?" "It's coming from below." "Its size was falsely represented!" "Reptiles often grow surprisingly fast." "What food can make them grow that big!" "?" "Try asking the monster behind you!" "I can't go on..." "If you stop, you'll be eaten." "Just keep running!" "I can't!" "Bro!" "Make your escape while I'm being eaten!" "I'm sure you'd be a nice treat for Flora." "Train, don't shoot her!" "Leave it to me!" "She's upset." "Like throwing oil in a fire." "Take care of the rest!" "You!" "H" " Hi..." "Hurry up and get out!" "Oh right!" "You'd better run now, Sven!" "Why?" "Huh?" "W- why me?" "H- he looks the juiciest..." "Train!" "What the hell is..." "I'll explain after I've put her to sleep!" "Don't shoot!" "Dammit!" "Hey buddy, get away!" "I'll take care of her!" "A tranquilizer bullet?" "That's right." "Now she looks more like a pet." "M" " Miss..." "Th- this much!" "?" "Wasn't it supposed to be 100,000?" "That's for bringing Flora-chan back without injuring her, dahling!" "Thank you very much!" "I'm taking my share for my dress!" "I'm the one who captured Flora." "This was all thanks to Gallom and me!" "I'm the one who knocked her out." "I'm the one who saved you, right?" "That's not fair!" "That was fine teamwork." "Did you plan this?" "No way!" "This was pure coincidence." "But I was able to reaffirm what sweepers are actually capable of." "Sven!" "Come to think of it, what were you doing there anyway?" "Err... nothing." "Oh yeah, they're making rice balls over there." "Rice balls?" "And maybe oden, too!" "?" "That's right!" "Radish, vegetables, and fish sausages, too!" "Former member of Chrono Numbers, Train Heartnet." "I would like you to join the sweeper alliance, too." "Sweeper alliance?" "Aahh!" "Leave him alone!" "He's no longer..." "Our goal is to capture the members of the Apostles of the Stars." "Apostles of the Stars..." "Hey, hey... they'll run out of rice balls!" "First come first served for eggs in oden!" "You know his whereabouts?" "An isolated island in the Adonia Sea, Kraken." "Creed Diskenth is there, too." "Creed is..." "Now he said it..." "A goodnight call to Kuro-sama..." "Hhmmm!" "Kuro-sama, what're you doing!" "?" "Train!" "So, he's gone..." "To the Apostles of the Stars?" "He's probably thinking that he doesn't wanna involve us or something anyway." "He treats us like strangers..." "You're just the same, Sven, aren't you?" "Huh?" "You joined the sweeper alliance secretly..." "to catch Creed, right?" "That fool..." "He always leaves his friends behind..." "Since your new black boots caused a blister, you rest your right foot" "We'll keep walking along with our own rhythm, without rushing" "Don't say anything because we'll soon understand each other" "I'm just holding you now to keep you warm" "I'm completely wrapped around you, so..." "Quietly the powder-like snow is building up..." ""Next Episode"" ""Next Episode" That darn Train!" ""Next Episode" Does he intend to settle it with Creed all by himself?" "Does he intend to settle it with Creed all by himself?" "I won't let you!" "As if I'd let you have the starring role all to yourself!" "We'll definitely catch up with you using my beloved car, so be prepared!" "Oh, hey Rins... sorry, but can you lend me some money for gas?" ""Dozing Cat" Oh, hey Rins... sorry, but can you lend me some money for gas?" ""Dozing Cat"" "Kraken Island on the Adonia Sea?" "I don't know it." "Well, if you want to go to the port town, it's fastest if you go over that mountain." "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." ""Dozing Cat"" "The fog has gotten quite thick..." "Bro..." "We have no choice but to wait until the fog clears." "No need to worry." "We'll catch up right away." "Where are Glin and the rest of the sweepers?" "They're taking a different route and are headed for the port." "They said they're gonna get the weapons and munitions." "Are you really going with them?" "I'll think about it after I get a hold of Train." "Wh" " What is that?" "I wonder if it's thunder?" "It's the rumbling of the mountain." "It's been like this for ages." "On foggy nights, you can hear it." "The locals say that demons are fighting." "D" " Demons?" "It'd be wise if you stay indoors." "What's that sound?" "Saya!" "Saya..." "We're alike, aren't we?" "Saya!" "Oops!" "I'm sorry!" "My hand just lashed out, but, you suddenly jumped up like that..." "Hm?" "Aren't you going to drink the herbal tea?" "Your body must be cold from the night mist." "That will warm you up and help you to sleep." "I was shocked when I found you collapsed in front of the house." "I had such a hard time bringing you to this bed." "Oh, but I'm fine because working in the mountains has made me strong." "See?" "Please don't stare at me like that." "Oh, yeah..." "My name is Saki." "Saki?" "Yes." "What's your name?" "Train Heartnet." "Train-kun?" "What a nice name, it sounds like a traveler's name!" "Are you traveling alone?" "Well, traveling alone is fine, but it was reckless to walk in the fog like that." "I wanted to reach the port by this morning." "Life isn't meant to be rushed, you know." "It seems that you're exhausted, too, so drink that and get some more sleep." "What is this?" "Want to know?" "No... never mind." "It's bitter!" "No, awful!" "Good medicine tastes bitter." "But you'll be able to sleep well." "What's wrong, Train-kun?" "You look so serious." "I came all the way just to see you." "Hurry over here." "Saya!" "Oww!" "Oh, you're up!" "This place is amazing!" "It looks like some impregnable castle." "We all built it together." ""We"?" "There are others?" "Well, sorta..." "I see..." "Watch out!" "Wow!" "Look, you..." "Cripes!" "Is this some ninja residence!" "?" "Or are you trying to kill me?" "Sorry, sorry!" "A woman living alone can't be too careful." "Hm?" "Ahh!" "Milk's even better when you drink it in the morning!" "Hey, you're staring at me again." "Or perhaps, it's love at first sight?" "N" " No way!" "So you like milk?" "It's my favorite!" "I can drink bucketfuls." "How do you get milk so deep in the mountains?" "Do you go down the mountain to buy stuff?" "When we came here, we all brought cows, chickens..." "Anyway, we brought everything we needed for everyday life... so that we needn't ever go back down." "It sounds just like an ark." "Just what were you escaping from?" "Well... there are all kinds of things in life." "Hey, shall I show you around our house?" "This is the library." "We wanted to keep a record of our homeland, so together we brought them here although it was heavy." "A record of their homeland?" "And this is the food storehouse... though it's just a fruit-bearing tree that we have in here..." "Want to try one?" "Oh, looks like it was overripe!" "Why you!" "I'll wash your clothes, okay?" "Yeah." "The weather's nice today, so I guess I'll hang them out in the sun." "What a mess tha..." "How far shall we go" "Looking up in the sky" "A baby's first cry" "The beating of an insect's wings" "Lightly, ligh..." "Oh, you heard me singing?" "Where'd you learn that song?" "Hmm..." "I've been singing it ever since I can remember." "So even if you asked me, I can't really say." "What about this song?" "Yeah, it's good." "Aren't you going to eat?" "You look so serious." "Are you worried about something?" "You should be more relaxed!" "Aren't you the one who's worried about something?" "Like what?" "Don't play dumb." "This castle-like house." "Books from a faraway country." "Weapons I've never seen before..." "And... you keep talking about others, but there's no one around!" "To tell you the truth, we have the power to foresee the future..." "We were chased out of our homeland by people who hated our power... so we came here..." "That's a crazy story..." "We came here after being chased out," "And we've been protecting something very precious for a long time." "Something very precious, which we brought with us from our homeland." "Some treasure?" "No..." "Our future, perhaps." "Future?" "I understand." "I won't ask again." "Here you are." "Herbal tea for after your meal." "Train-kun!" "I fell asleep again..." "It's still not dry." "Th- this is..." "Yeah, it's had it." "The garden's a mess." "It's not just the garden." "Who the hell did this?" "They come around sometimes... wild dogs." "Stop fooling with me!" "It takes more than wild dogs to do all this!" "It's a huge pack of wild dogs!" "From ones that look scary like this to ones that are unexpectedly cute..." "About 30,000 of them run around..." "Grrr, grrr, grrr!" "Why don't you just tell me the truth?" "Who are you fighting?" "There are no others, are there?" "I'll help you and..." "Leave us alone!" "How can I?" "After seeing this!" "?" "Oh be quiet!" "This has nothing to do with you, Train-kun!" "Nothing to do..." "You sure you really don't need help!" "?" "No!" "Stop butting in and hurry up and get off this mountain!" "Oh yeah?" "Fine then!" "I'll do just that once my clothes are dry!" "Hey, are you really going to be all right by yourself?" "I'll help you." "I don't want anyone to die anymore." "Drink your herbal tea while it's hot." "There's a lot of you this time!" "You fool... there're too many for you to handle all by yourself." "Game over." "Dolls are usually manipulated by humans." "You lend a hand to evil?" "Evil?" "You mean Saki?" "I'm talking about the "midorigo" that she's protecting!" "("midorigo" = a baby.)" "Midorigo?" "Once it's grown and is released to the fields, there will certainly be calamity!" "I beg of you, traveler!" "Take my place and do the deed!" "Destroy the seed of evil with your hands!" "With that weapon!" "We were musketeers serving a king who ruled in a faraway land, which you do not know." "Musketeers?" "One day, the queen bore a darling crown prince." "But at that time, our gods passed down this judgment..." ""The crown prince was born under a tainted star that will bring disaster." ""Throw him into the darkness right away."" "My comrades and I took the prince and escaped." "After all, how could we destroy the future of a newborn babe?" "Even if this babe did bring calamity in the future..." "He's heavy." "That's how heavy the future is." "He bears the weight of happiness and sadness." "But in order to protect his future, the future of all my comrades were sacrificed." "Well, I'm sure your comrades have no regrets." "Because they were able to make a run of it with you until death." "Aren't comrades like that?" "Train-kun... where are your comrades?" "They're all waiting for you." "Saya!" "Owwee!" "What the hell are you doing!" "?" "Shut up!" "Causing us so much worry!" "Cripes!" "You need another ten years before you can try to steal a march on me!" "You're like the bug flying into the flame on a summer night." "Bro!" "What do you think you can do alone?" "Well, shall we go?" "Hah!" "Who needs help from you guys!" "?" "Bro!" "Hey Train!" "Not again!" "Hurry up and follow him!" "Oh, yeah!" "Out of gas..."

"?" "You're!" "Ch" " Chrono Numbers..." "Yes, I'm No." "X..." "Lin Shaolee." "What's Chronos trying to do by gathering sweepers?" "Of course, the capture of Creed Diskenth." "Capture, my foot!" "You want his death!" "As you say, Creed Diskenth's death." "Rather, the annihilation of the Apostles of the Stars." "Annihilation!" "?" "I see..." "The Apostles of the Stars are a nuisance for Chronos." "And for us sweepers, they make good bounty." "So, it'd be a waste if you don't take advantage of us..." "Our target is the same, so there should be no problem in how it is accomplished." "How like Chronos." "They do anything to get what then want." "You're right." "However, Black Cat, you can understand, can't you?" "The reason why Chronos operates that way." "The hell with this!" "Now that we know Chronos was behind this, let's just call this whole thing off!" "That's right!" "We're not lapdogs for Chronos!" "I don't quite care for this turn of events." "Sweepers don't take orders from anyone." "The ideal of Chronos is world peace." "Can't you understand that mind-set?" "Bullshit!" "It doesn't matter if we understand it or not." "We're not interested in Chronos' mind-set!" "He's right." "Don't take us lightly." "This is why you're sweepers..." "What'd you say!" "?" "Why you!" "You bastard!" "When things don't go your way, you immediately resort to violence." "So sweepers really are just barbarians, huh?" "What!" "?" "River-san!" "Then, you're saying that erasers aren't barbarians?" "After all you're killers, aren't you?" "You don't mince any words, do you?" "Well fine... just remember this much." "We cannot allow Creed Diskenth free rein to do as he pleases" "He will certainly lead the world on the path to destruction." "How is Creed's condition?" "He is doing just fine." "The fusion of the ki energy of Tao and nanotechnology..." "The molding of unused cells and giving form to ki energy substances..." "Everything is going well." "When Creed awakens, tell him this..." "Sweepers eager for a 3 billion bounty will head there shortly." "Sweepers?" "Humph!" "Such fools!" "You'd better not underestimate them." "Black Cat is also among them." "I see..." "All right." "Leave the sweepers to me." "Just keep track of their movements." "Understood." "I can't stop laughing." "That's because the sweepers will be the prey for the weapons that I have created!" "...for the living weapons created through the fusion of Tao and nanotech!" "Right, Echidna?" "You're going to take care of them before Creed awakens, right?" "Are you worried about Black Cat?" "Well..." "I just dislike cats who are too mischievous." "No!" "No!" "No!" "Can't you make an exception?" "No way!" "Why?" "Everyone gets scared shitless just from hearing the name Kraken Island." "Why don't you offer money?" "You think I have that kind of money?" "I just thought I'd mention it, is all." "We're like that saying "The poor have no money"!" "There's no saying like that." "Hey!" "Still can't rent a boat?" "Shut up!" "Why are you coming with us if you're always complaining!" "?" "Can't help it!" "The sweeper alliance has practically disbanded." "I'd feel sorry for you if you were gonna go to Kraken Island by yourselves." "So super-strong me will go with you!" "Be grateful!" " Huh?" " Bad sense of direction, huh?" "Yes, he's got a bad sense of direction." "Why, the last time, he got lost and ended up walking along the sewer." "Don't say that!" "Please take the boat out!" "No matter how much you beg, no means no!" "The currents around that island are fierce and we can't get close to it." "Understand?" "Um..." "I'll give you my treasure!" "Apologize... to the girl!" "Wh" " Who are you?" "A brave sweeper who's looking for a boat to go to Kraken Island, just like that girl." "Right?" "Oh?" "What?" "Are you hurt?" "No." "Believe me." "That island is cursed." "Better not go near it." "Sorry, missy!" "Cursed?" "Dammit!" "And he calls himself a seafaring man?" "What a joke!" "Just watch me..." "even if I have to swim over, I'll..." "Can you... sail a boat?" "In Chronos' eyes, we, sweepers, are just small fries." "Yeah..." "But that guy said it was for peace, didn't he?" "Yeah, but the peace they're talking about is one that fulfills their own interest." "That's a falsehood villains often use!" "I shoulda let 'im have it then!" "Damn right!" "Next time I see him, he won't get away so easily!" "But I sorta understand what that Shaolee guy was saying." "Huh?" "I don't know much about Chronos, but I think them trying to destroy the Apostles of the Stars is a good thing." "I'm not smart, so I can't explain it well, but if everyone in the world can live peacefully, or happily," "I think that's good." "Mundock, are you... stupid!" "?" "We, sweepers, aren't champions of justice!" "We work for money!" "In other words, this is business!" "Business!" "But none of us are here for the money..." "I know that much..." "This is a personal thing... but I'm very interested in you." "People even called you the legendary eraser, Black Cat." "Why is someone like you working as a mere sweeper?" "That's none of your business." "Well, it is." "I've always thought... that I'd become a member of Chronos Numbers like you." "You, as an eraser, were indeed my goal, and I really admired you." "How's this?" "Err... well..." "A box, an umbrella and tires." "Eve, that's rude." "You don't expect to sail to Kraken Island in that thing?" "!" "Hey, cut it out!" "Huh?" "Err..." "I didn't mean it like that..." "Uhm..." "Hey, this is a fine boat!" "Awright!" "Off to Kraken Island we go now!" "Row!" "Row!" "It's impossible after all, isn't it?" "H" " Hey, where're you going?" "I'm going to look for a bigger boat." "Oh, I see..." "Is it revenge?" "For Saya Minatsuki?" "It didn't take long to find out the circumstances surrounding No." "XIII up until the time he left Chronos." "So there shouldn't be any problem." "Our target is the same." "Why not join forces against the Apostles of the Stars so that..." "I already told you." "I don't trust Chronos." "Why not?" "The sweeper alliance is a decoy, isn't it?" "While the sweepers draw the attention of the Apostles of the Stars... the Numbers will attack their base..." "I see... so you have it all figured out." "And you want to say that that is a dirty trick?" "However, failure is not an option for Chronos." "That is because our loss means the destruction of the world order." "Hence, we cannot be picky about our methods." "Err... missy..." "I think you'd better go home soon or your mommy and daddy will worry." "I don't have any." "Huh?" "I don't have a mommy or daddy." "Don't have..." "Oh!" "Chronos bears a very heavy responsibility on its shoulders." "It's much different from sweepers who are merely bounty hunters." "Well, I'm a sweeper, too." "No, you are of the same caliber as the Numbers." "Why don't you quit pretending to be some lowly sweeper and return to Chronos?" "For someone like you, the elders are sure to permit your return!" "You don't understand anything." "I left Chronos because I wanted to be a sweeper... in order to gain the freedom to think on my own and to live as I please." "I have no intention of returning now..." "not one bit." "Freedom to you means turning your back on justice and fighting for revenge?" "I'll ask you one more time..." "Train Heartnet!" "You don't have any intention of following Chronos' noble cause?" "I'll settle with Creed myself." "And I won't allow Chronos to interfere." "I see..." "I guess I still couldn't get you to see..." "A sweeper can never win against Chronos... because the responsibility we shoulder is much heavier." "I wonder about that." "A stray cat sweeper may be living with a much heavier burden, you know." "Shall we see about that?" "What the!" "?" "What the hell are these things!" "?" "Is this... no way!" "Transformation!" "?" "Ahhhh!" "What's this!" "?" "It doesn't look like it's just nanotech!" "It's probably that "Tao" thing, isn't it!" "?" "The fusion of nanotech and Tao!" "So, this is the answer the Apostles of the Stars were seeking!" "Damn you!" " Are you all right!" "?" " Monsters!" "Those monsters!" "What!" "?" "On Kraken Island, those monsters took my mommy and daddy!" "Then you were on Kraken Island!" "?" "Daddy put the boat out and let me escape!" "The island became full of monsters!" "I see..." "Okay." "You stay put right here." "The sweepers will take care of all the bad monsters!" "Sweepers?" "This way!" "Are you all right?" "Hurry and get away!" "Let's go!" "Yes!" "It's useless!" "What!" "?" "What... what are you fighting for?" "Huh?" "Well, I'm a sweeper." "So, I'm just clearing away things that get in peoples' way." "Can you understand?" "Train-san..." "This is what sweepers are all about." "Sweepers are fools." "Even though it doesn't bring in any money... they're fighting for strangers..." "And aren't you one of these fools?" "Perhaps so." "If you want to use us as a decoy, go right ahead." "And we'll use Chronos." "That's fine by us..." "I'm just glad you all came..." "Mister!" "What're you doing here?" "Please... take me to the island!" "Nope." "There are lots of monsters." "Uhm..." "Then Mommy and Daddy..." "Your Mommy and Daddy?" "They're there!" "Mommy and Daddy are somewhere on that island!" "I know it!" "Okay." "I'll take on that job!" "Thank you, Mister!" "Be careful!" "Huh?" "The fusion of nanotech and Tao?" "This thing seems way deeper than I thought." "Where'd Rins go?" "She said she had work." "Oh..." "What a busy woman she is..." "as usual..." "Although, there seems to be another busy woman here..." "You're... one of the Apostles of the Stars!" "The world famous actress..." "Echidna Parass..." "What's the big idea?" "Anyone... anyone who tries to harm Creed... will be eliminated." "That's..."

"Looks like I can have a little fun with you..." "Promise me one thing." "Huh?" "If I beat you, you'll leave the Apostles of the Stars." "Huh?" "What're you saying?" "Before you say such things, worry about your own safety!" "No one's around..." "It's like a ghost town." "As it is..." "Elly's parents are probably also..." "The enemy!"

"It doesn't seem as though you've taken those from the Apostles of the Stars as prisoners." "How pitiful... you seem quite confused." "You are Numbers!" "Are you telling us you were conspiring with the enemy!" "?" "You still don't get it?" "The days of Chronos are over." "Now we, the Zero Numbers, will take over." "Zero Numbers!" "?" "It seems that this was planned from the very beginning..." "Mason!" "Mason!" "You are a serious threat to the noble cause of Chronos." "And I shall erase you!" "You're not in any position to be talking tough!" "You simply cannot see beyond Chronos' way of thinking, can you?" "We do have our own noble cause, as well." "Sephiria..." "I have waited a long time for this day... the day that we take a step towards ultimate peace." "This is farewell!" "Hey Bro!" "Bro!" "I'm glad you're back safe!" "Yo!" "H- hey!" "Bro!" " Cheers!" " Cheers!" " Cheers!" "Bro!" "Congratulations on your attaining your long-cherished goal!" "I'm so relieved!" "Well, I knew you'd be back safe, but considering the enemy you were up against..."

"Hey, quit spitting all over the place!" "S- sorry." "Here's your milk." "Annette!" "?" "What're you doing here!" "?" "Woodney told me... that you took on some dangerous job..." "So I brought all sorts of things." "I guess it was for nothing." "We don't need any of that stuff." "Humph!" "As cocky as ever!" "I'm surprised you were able to procure the boat." "The fishermen in this area were too afraid of the Apostles of the Stars to take their boats out." "I hired a boatman who cared little about life." "It cost me a fortune, though." "When you collect your bounty, I expect a big cut." "There won't be any bounty this time." "What do you mean?" "Err..." "Haven't a clue..." "Don't tell me you let Creed escape!" "?" "Don't worry!" "We crushed the Apostles of the Stars good." "You beat the Apostles of the Stars, yet you get no reward!" "?" "What's the meaning of this?" "Aw c'mon..." "let it go." "The Sweeper Association guys are okay with it, too, so..." "Right?" "You guys don't care about the reward, right?" "Err... you do, huh?" "Sure you do." "Even I do..." "I don't care." "We didn't lose to even the Apostles of the Stars." "No matter what kind of job we take from now on, we're sure to succeed." "Eve..." "She's right!" "In any event, with this battle, we Sweepers proved ourselves as men!" "And as women, too!" "Right!" "We beat those monsters!" "The bounty means nothing!" " Right!" "Right!" " Right!" "Right!" " Right!" "Right!" "I'm impressed!" "You first-class sweepers really are different from the rest!" "Tonight's on me!" "Drink all you like!" " Alright!" " Alright!" " Alright!" "They're all gone." "They went off to their next jobs." "Being a sweeper isn't a stable job... you follow where the wind and criminals take you." "I see..." "Let's head out to our next job, too." "Say Eve... what do you want to do from now on?" "What?" "You can't keep roaming around with us, right?" "The Apostles of the Stars have been destroyed." "Why not attend school or something?" "Like that fire-breathing girl, Kyoko." "Attend a school in Zipang or something." "Since Zipang is a safe country, it'd probably be" "I like just how it is." "I want to live freely." "You know, I'm saying this for you." "You should get into a prestigious girls' boarding school and get some education under a respectable teacher."

"Geez... they don't even have a milk vending machine in this town!" "?" "Something wrong with the princess?" "It's nothing." "Miss Eve?" "It's been a long time, Eve." "I wonder if you've forgotten... that we're very old friends." "Friends?" "Yes, I was there when you were born." "Come, Eve." "I'll take you to paradise." "What in the!" "?" "Since you're here, there must be no mistake that this is the gathering place." "Number VII!" "Where are the others?" "I can't find them anywhere..." "I found David's body." "I've just buried him." "Then could Sephiria-san and Belze-san also be..." "There's no way those two would be defeated." "I'm sure they're out searching for Baldor and the others." "That's..." "Sephiria-san!" "Belze-san!" "Anubis!" "No good!" "This one doesn't work either!" "Nor this..." "Just as expected, this is impossible!" "I'm so exhausted!" "I'm sleepy... my shoulders are aching..." "My butt hurts, too..."

"The shock of the accident at Bioberg has caused her to lose her memory." "This way." "Oh?" "She's not here." "Strange... she should be done with her rehab session, and I don't think any tests were scheduled on her today." "What was that?" "Someone, help!" "The patient in 303 is..." "She's agitated again after seeing herself in the mirror!" "You actually said that to the child?" "Poor thing!" " Saying that to her after she trusted you so much..." " Refill, please!" "Precisely because I'm close to her, I'm thinking about Eve's future, and..." "Sven!" "You always call yourself a gentleman... but you're such a coward, aren't you!" "?" "What!" "?" "It seems to me that you're trying to run away from Eve." "Hey!" "More milk, please!" "You said, "Eve is not some sort of weapon." "She's a human being."" "Then, isn't it important not just to protect her, but to think about her feelings as well!" "?" "Let's go." "Let's go and get the princess."

"Aside from the transformation control, access permissions to the apperception system have also been registered." "So, it won't accept any input from anyone but us."

"Where are you!" "?" "Come on home now!" "Let's go get something good to eat!" "Hey Train!" "What're you doing up there?" "Huh?" "Of course I'm looking for the princess!" "I know!" "I'm asking why you're on the roof!" "When people are lonely, they like to climb up to high places." "That's common sense." "She's not you!" "You won't find her up on a roof!" "Get serious and look!" "Mister Sven!" "Ellie..." "What're you doing here?" "Did you come to see the boats?" "No." "But what are you doing out so late?" "I came to greet Daddy." "Oh?" "You did?" "Good girl." "Oh!" "Good evening!" "H- hello..." "Say Ellie, Eve still hasn't come back." "Did you see her somewhere?" "Miss Eve?" "Oh, that blonde child?" "I saw her at the harbor." "Really?" "Yes." "A man who looks like a doctor in a white lab coat was with her." "A doctor!" "?" "When!" "?" "I went back and forth between the harbor and my house several times today, but I think it was in the morning." "Do you know which way they went?" "We were finally able to obtain Eve."

"Eve!" "Eve!" "So, that's where you were!" "Let's go home, Eve." "Say, let's talk things over." "Hey, you can stop fooling around now." "Th- that's..." "Eve says she's not going back to you." "Quit talking nonsense!" "You're making her say that!" "Wait right there, Eve!" "I'll free you... right away!" "Sven!" "Hah!" "It's been a long time, Black Cat." "Since when did Chrono Numbers start hiring the Apostles of the Stars to abduct people?" "We are no longer Chronos." "We are comrades." "I don't give a damn who you team up with!" "Give Eve back now!" "Unfortunately, we can't." "We have a far deeper bond with Eve." "What!" "?" "We know everything there is to know about Eve." "Shut up!" "What do you know about Eve!" "?" "Scum like you couldn't possibly understand how she feels!" "Hah!" "How she feels?" "Even if people understand each other's feelings, it does not stop them from fighting." "Mason!" "So you're the mastermind behind all this!" "Chronos once tried to destroy Eve." "So why do you want her now?" "For the magnificent and noble plan, Black Cat." "I am grateful to you both, though... for nurturing Eve to this point." "Now, we will be able to change the world." "I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" "Just what does that have to do with Eve!" "?" "Come, Eve." "Eve!" "?" "It's time to bid farewell." "Eve!" "Sven!" "Wait!" "Eve!" "Sven!" "Eve..." "Eve, this is Eden." "Eden..." "Now go..."

"The life of people, the joys and sorrows..." "the wisdom to live, and battle..." "You have obtained all the knowledge you require." "Rejoice!" "You have been given the right to live in paradise." "Pa... ra... dise..." "Yes, the paradise called Eden." "E... den..." "From this moment, you will become one with Eden!" "And you will live in paradise for eternity!" "Magnificent!" "Eve!" "You're going to get Eve back?" "Of course!" "You don't even know where she is... and in that condition, what can you do!" "?" "You expect me to lie still in bed!" "?" "How can I!" "?" "Eve's been kidnapped!" "If I don't save her, who will!" "?" "Don't act like no one else cares but you!" "Even to me, princess is a precious comrade!" "Remember, you once punched me?" "I seem to recall something like that." "You said so yourself... to rely on your comrades more." "So leave the rest to me." "You sure talk cool!" "Annette is checking on Mason's movements right now." "That old man?" "Mason was the oldest member of Chronos, and the only member of the Numbers to experience the Itairiku War." "Sephiria depended on him a lot, too." "But why would someone like him..." "The problem is that Mason is the one who took Eve." "Anyway, take it easy and recover." "Hey!" "Where are you going!" "?" "Mason is quite a schemer." "I've gotta be prepared for him." "Drink that and heal quickly." "Be seeing you!" "Is this his only way of showing kindness?" "The three elders have been assassinated." "As I expected..." "I see it was Mason's doing?" "We were totally had." "The branches around the world are in a state of turmoil." "A plot 20 years in the making..." "When we faced Mason, he used Tao techniques." "When did he gain such power?" "Probably in the Itairiku War..." "So he made an alliance with Taoists back then." "Nanotech and Tao..." "This is quite a problem." "Ultimate peace..." "he said something like that..." "That's sheer nonsense." "We must stop them at all cost." "But Sephiria... do we have the power at this time, to confront Mason?" "The reality is that world governments are calling to cancel their financial support." "Still, we must do it." "What a creepy moon." "It's an ominous color." "Where're you guys headed from here?" "I'm taking off for a while." "I'm exhausted." "I have work." "So we're all going our separate ways." "Wanna come with me?" "If you're by yourself, you get lost even in your own room, don't you?" "What!" "?" "D- don't insult me!" "I was at least able to find my way back from the john!" "Smooch, smooch, smooch..." "Kuro-sama..." "I guess no one's here anymore..." "Who's there?" "Quit standing there like a stick!" "If this were a real bullet, you'd be dead!" "Tim..." "Leon..." "Layla..." "We thought you were dead, Leon!" "Welcome home, Leon." "It's good to be back." "No data at all on those Zero Numbers?" "Like the number says... zero." "Any word from Train?" "He just left!" "Hey..." "What's the use of sitting there and punching away at the keyboard!" "?" "Shut up!" "I'm contacting the information brokers and the sweepers around the country right now!" "I'll go walking for rehabilitation." "Sven?" "R" " Rins!" "?" "You're alive?" "Well, I saw the netherworld for a second just now..." "Never mind that." "What're you doing here?" "I heard about Eve from Annette." "So I brought someone who may have some leads." "Leads?" "Sh- she's..." "Eve!" "Tearju Lunatique." "Eve's creator." "Amnesia?" "Then she can't give us any leads!" "But I'm sure she knows something." "That may be so, but..." "In any case, they really look alike!" "Are they blood-related?" "I'm almost positive Eve's her clone." "Clone!" "?" "Hey!" "Tearju is one of the top scientists not only in nanomachines but also in clone science." "In other words, she was experimenting on her own clone?" "What was she thinking!" "?" "Scientists live in a different world." "Rins, give me your cell phone!" "Huh!" "?" "You took Eve's picture with it before, didn't you?" "So?" "If we show it to her, it may jog her memory!" "Hey, you're right!" "Here it is." "This is Eve." "E... ve?" "Well?" "You recognize her, don't you?" "Tearju?" "Eve!" "Hey lady, calm down!" "Eve!" "I must stop Eve!" "What?" "Do what to Eve!" "?" "Eve!" "Turn back to dust!" "Eve!" " Tearju!" " Tearju!" "You're awake, Eve?" "Where am I?" "Eden... the paradise at the center of the world." "Who are you?" "I'm Adam." "I've been waiting for you a long time." "I was lonely all by myself, so I'm really happy that you've come." "I... can't remember anything." "You don't have to remember anything." "You have been reborn, so..." "Reborn?" "Anxiety doesn't suit Eden." "Now smile!" "There is no fighting... no illness..." "no unhappiness in Eden." "Even food can be..." "Look..." "Like this, we can eat all we want whenever we want." "There's no hunger here either." "An apple..." "Take a bite." "Hypnotized yourself?" "To react when you see Eve's face?" "That's why you reacted in front of the mirror..." "Why'd you do such a thing?" "I didn't want them to use me..." "Huh?" "Or my research... or Eve." "That's why when Torneo attacked the research lab at Bioberg..." "I tried to destroy everything." "But I didn't have enough time." "Kanzaki, my assistant, was already in cahoots with Mason, so..." "Kanzaki?" "At the lab, we called him Doctor." "It's this man." "That's" "He may not look it, but he was an ambitious man who was determined to take my place." "And he fell victim to his ambition and was ensnared by Mason." "I can't forgive him!" "He stole the research that I poured my heart and soul into!" "Now, now..." "So tell us, what was this research of yours about?" "It was the Eden Project, wasn't it?" "What is that?" "A frightening plan... to bring about ultimate peace to the world." "Peace?" "Nothing wrong with peace." "Even if humans stop being humans?" "Infect people with nanomachines and centrally control them using the power of Tao." "That is the outline of the Eden Project." "Well, that certainly would put an end to wars..." "But that's quite an outrageous plan." "But what does Eve have to do with it?" "Eve will activate Eden." "Eden?" "The mechanical living form which I invented." "Once activated, it will spread nanomachines throughout the world... and control the people of the world..." "And using their life energy as the driving force... its life will become immortal." "And you're saying that Eve will be the pilot for this?" "Yes..." "Eve will be set in the center of Eden." "Eve was developed to serve as Eden's consciousness." "Her role as a "bio-weapon" was just a ruse." "That's why I must destroy Eve!" "Before Eden is activated!" "That is my duty as her creator!" "Don't be so selfish!" "She may be a clone or whatever, but..." "Eve is Eve!" "You think I'd let you erase her just to suit your whims!" "Tearju..." "I want to save Eve, too." "But if Eden is activated, it will mean the end of this world." "Hasn't Eden been activated yet?" "Eden's operation circuit is trying to link up with Eve." "Once that is complete..." "Aren't you going to eat?" "It's good." "It tastes wonderful... something you've never tasted before in your life." "Now, hurry..." "What will happen when Eden is activated?" "Eden will cover the sky and make it rain." "Rain?" "Nanomachine rain." "It will seep into humans..." "and cause a transformation." "Even I don't know what the result will be." "Can't we tell Eve not to do that?" "The Eve that you know will be erased... and she'll become one with Eden." "She probably won't remember anyone by that time." "That's ridiculous!" "Eve will become Eden's consciousness." "Only after that happens, Eden will be able to recognize and control humans." "So Eve will no longer be Eve..." "A giant nebula which has absorbed all humans..." "Some people may call it god." "Or... demon..." "Eat it." "Eat... this..." "That's wonderful, Eve." "You will nurture paradise... and paradise will continue to grow... and soon cover everything on this planet!" "Ohhhh!" "The moment has arrived!" "The day I have waited for... for so long!" "Creed..." "Creed!" "Oops, I drank too much again." "We had drinks... at the wedding party... for a toast." "Huh?" "Oh, the sunset?" "How pretty!" "But why a sunset in broad daylight?" "Pretty..." "Yeah..." "The cloud is spreading in this direction..." "So Mason is on the move now..." "The location is the desert in the northwest... near Kashmir City." "Just what is he up to?" "That is not our concern." "Order an attack immediately." "The communication with our Kashmir branch has been lost." "So nothing is left on our side..." "Even if it's just us alone!" "With just the few of us, we cannot hope for victory." "Hey, hey... why so depressed?" "I really don't want to see you guys despondent." "Heartnet!" "And you still call yourselves Numbers?" "You're going to take old Mason's antics lying down?" "Since you left Chronos, it's none of your business." "Or... will you return to Chronos?" "Eve was kidnapped by Mason." "Eve?" "That bio-weapon?" "Eve is my comrade!" "What do you expect us to do?" "It's simple." "I'm gonna rescue Eve." "You're coming too, right?" "Whatever happened to the Numbers' pride?" "That insufferable pride!" "?" "All right." "Just this one time..." "We Chronos will lend you a hand, Heartnet!" "Now that's more like it!" "Oh!" "?" "What's going on?" "Oh, it's rain." "Peace... peace is coming." "Huh?" "Maybe I drank too much?" "Oh?" "Oh, yeah!" "It's begun!" " Hey, sit down!" "I can't see!" " Go!" "I know I'm getting too old for this," " but I always get excited when I see something like this." " Now!" "Dead blow beam!" " Hey, I've seen this program before." " Ahhhh!" " We interrupt this program for important news." " What!" "?" " Kashmir City in the northwestern region of the continent" " No!" "Is under attack from a strange flying object." "We will bring you more news as it becomes available." "Say, what'll you order?" "I'm having a fruit parfait." "Sweet bean soup for me." "Grilled octopus in batter for me!" "A sweet shop wouldn't have that, you know!" "Oh, really?" "Oh?" "What's wrong, Kyoko?" "Hey, Kyoko!" " Kashmir..." " Hey what's that?" " That's the city where I dated Little Kuro-sama!" "?" " Oh..." "I'm scared!" "Splendid..." "Look!" "Man has abandoned his ego and become one!" "This is indeed Utopia!" "Now we will absorb people into Eden." "They will become the flesh and blood of Eden, and become the source of Tao power." "What is this!" "?" "Tearju, you really created something terrible." "People are being sucked in!" "It seems it's designed not only to merge human minds, but their bodies as well." "Designed!" "?" "Can't you do something!" "?" "As the one responsible for its development," "I will take responsibility until the very end." "But how?" "Oh!" "Is it over for mankind!" "?" "Quit your whining!" "I'm sorry..." "Huh?" "Bro!" "Yo!" "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Train, you're so late!" "These guys are pretty dependable, wouldn't you say?" "Huh?" "Yeah..." "Awright!" "Let's go, Sven!" "Princess must be tired of waiting!" "Since your new black boots caused a blister, you rest your right foot" "We'll keep walking along with our own rhythm, without rushing" "Don't say anything because we'll soon understand each other" "I'm just holding you now to keep you warm" "I'm completely wrapped around you, so..."

""Cat in Paradise" I know a way to deal with that." ""Cat in Paradise"" "Run!" "If that rain gets on you, it's over!" "Meg!" "Meg!" "Are you all right!" "?" "Tim!" "Hurry!" "Grab hold!" "Tim!"

"You must destroy them." "Or it is the end for you and paradise." "Me?" "Wh- what's happening?" "What's going on!" "?" "Magnificent!" "Eve, keep it up!" "Bring down all who try to invade our paradise!" "What!" "?" "You're saying Eve's doing all that?" "Eve is putting everything she has learned up to this point to use." "But..." "I never taught Eve how to bring down armed helicopters!" "Was that it?" "What!" "?" "He is..." "Relax." "I don't plan to fight you guys." "More importantly, you're heading to that monster thing, right?" "What!" "?" "Your friend was swallowed up by that thing!" "?" "I... couldn't protect Tim." "Tim!" "?" "Dammit!" "Eden will continue to grow by absorbing life energy." "In time, it will swallow up all of mankind, and totally cover this planet." "A self-propagating machine with immortal life and infinite capacity..." "But Eden is still in its infancy." "What!" "?" "No way!" "That thing is still an infant!" "?" "Yes, if it swallows up more and more people and increases its power... it will be beyond our powers." "No!" "Then what do you do?" "Separating Eve from Eden before they completely merge is the only way..." "Eve?" "Did something happen to her?" "Eve is inside that thing." "If it's as I designed it, Eve has been taken into the receptor." "Sheesh..." "Awfully relaxed, aren't you!" "?" "You even brought food!" "C'mon!" "It's like they say, you can't fight in an empty stomach." "Right?" "Don't they?" "So, the question is how we attack it..." "Eden is showering nanomachines..." "In other words, we can't attack from below." "But to attack from the sky..." "We'd be cut into pieces with that sickle-like thing..." "It will be difficult to stop that nano-slicer." "The only way is to create a blind spot..." "Or lure it to a small area and run it aground?" "How?" "We're at the end of our rope..." "Isn't there something we can do?" "How does Eden detect people?" "It's not as though it's spreading nanomachines at random, right?" "Eden detects humans' mental activities through Eve, and moves towards areas where it senses a high response." "So that's why it targets cities." "Then the place Eden will target next is..." "Palmila City..." "Then, it means that we have to take care of it before it gets there or it's over." "If it's in the middle of the desert, where no humans are around, even a small number of people may be able to lure Eden." "That's it!" "Now, the question is, where are we going to lure Eden?" "If we are to run it aground, it should be between cliffs?" "Oh, let's just move forward for now." "We've already chowed down, so..." "Kuro-sama!" "I asked Charden-san to join me!" "It has been a while..." "Since that time, I've continued on my journey in search of a path to follow." "That's right..." "What's more important than me right now is what to do with that monstrosity." "This is the place..." "To the southwest of Palmila City... there is a ravine created over time by weathering." "If we lure it here..." "Sheesh!" "How are we gonna make that huge thing change its course!" "?" "Eve's consciousness shouldn't be completely gone yet." "Eden will react to whatever Eve likes." "Whatever Eve likes... whatever Eve likes..." "Isn't there something!" "?" "When you think of princess, you think of omelets!" "Charred black ones!" "And I love mango pudding!" "Young girls love fruit parfaits." "Grilled octopus in batter?" "Hamburgers?" "Poached tofu?" "Sven..." "No!" "It's nothing like that!" "When you think of Eve, you think of books, right!" "?" ""The Bond Between A Husband and Wife", "101 Wild Elephants on the Stampede!"" ""Camels' Humps", "Tagaya"..." "Fireworks!" " Fireworks!" "?" " Fireworks!" "?" " Fireworks!" "?" "Right!" "Fireworks!" "Eve likes the fireworks at festival time!" "We'll shoot up lots and lots of fireworks and get Eve's attention!" "Fireworks?" "We won't find fireworks in the middle of a desert like this." "Hey!" "Where're you going!" "?" "To the fireworks factory in town!" "You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up right away!" "Leon!" " Leon!" " Leon!" " Leon!" "You fool!" "If the nanomachine rain gets on you, you'll be swallowed up, too!" "I hate sand!" "Damn, that kid!" "Well, Train?" "See the kid?" " Nope." " ?" "La la...?" "I see..." "Gotcha!" "Leon..." "Eden is!" "What the hell is that!" "?" "Eden has turned into a woman..." "So pretty..." "The second form of Eden..." "What?" "By absorbing the people in Kashmir City, the bond between Eden and Eve has grown stronger." "Oh, no!" "Once it reaches Palmila City, no one will be able to stop Eden and Eve from merging." "We must hurry!" "Dammit, where's the fireworks!" "?" "He's definitely taking too long." "There's no point in placing our hopes on a kid." "He may have been an Apostle of the Stars once, but he's still just a kid." "I wonder if he got rained on by nanomachines and was swallowed up by Eden..." "Hey!" " Oweee!" " Hey!" "Stop it!" " My bad!" "My bad!" "I'm sorry!" " Hey!" "Stop it!" "That kid... isn't too shabby, it seems..." "Huh?" " Kuro-sama!" " Train!" "Wait for me!" "That's reckless!" "Come back!" "Train!" "Don't worry!" "Eden has left Kashmir City!" "The rain will stop soon!" "All... who... invade... paradise... will be... dealt with." "Well, you can't have this!" "Dammit!" "Kid, you're not bad at all." "What's the speed of the enemy?" "It's still going at about 100 km per hour." "It'll be over if we fall behind..." "The road conditions are awful." "It's a life-or-death rally, huh?" "Awright..." "I'm all fired up!" "Once Eden runs aground, we will go in." "Then let us wish each other success... and also that we will meet again alive." " Right!" " Right!" " Right!" "Are you tired, Eve?" "But it's just a little more." "We're going to an even more fun place next." "A place... that's even... more fun..." "No, not that way!" "Let's go to an even more fun place!" "Hey!" "Eve!" "Awright!" "Just like someone said, it's reacting to the fireworks!" "Aghh!" "It's headed this way!" "Awright!" "Let's make a big show!" "I have permission from Kuro-sama just for today..." "So I'm going to blow a lot of fire!" "Tamaya!" "Tamaya!" "Tamaya!" "Tamaya!" "Tamaya!" "Tamaya!" "Tamaya!" "What's going on?" "Eden has changed its course!" "The Sweepers..." "Rather, it's the work of small fries." "It doesn't matter!" "Put it back on course for Palmila City immediately." "I understand." "Tamaya!" "Now... come with me to an even more fun place, Eve." "Leave them to me and keep shooting up fireworks!" "Drat!" "That thing's turning around!" "Shoot up more fireworks!" "Aww..." "Looks like it's going away!" "Hey!" "Don't give up!" "Boooo!" "This is bad, Sephiria!" "Eden is turning back towards Palmila City." "Hey Train!" "What're you up to!" "?" " Go, Mister!" " Aghhh!" " You're so cool!" " Stop it!" "Hang on tight!" "Let's go!" "Hey!" "Princess!" "Come on over this way!" "Eve!" "Come back!" "What's wrong, Eve?" "Eve!" "I was wrong!" "I'll never tell you to go to a boarding school again!" "Th- this is!" "You don't have to go to school!" "We'll always be together!" "All right!" "It's coming this way!" "Whee!" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" "Awright!" "Let's attack!" " Right!" " Right!" " Right!" "Kaboom!" "We will go in, too!" "Fight with all your strength..." "in accordance with your beliefs!" "Very well!" "Let us wish each other success..." "Rins-chan!" "When I return, I will give you a big, long hug!" "Wow!" "He's gonna marry you!" "Wedding!" "Wedding!" "Tan tan tatan!" "Jenos!" "I'll punch you in the face when you return!" "Small fries... this is your idea of a trap!" "?" "I have no choice..." "I shall show you small fries, the true power of Eden!" "The real power of Tao!" "Now you shall witness... the infinite life energy that I discovered!" "What!" "?" "We're already in a pinch!" "?" "Now go, Zero Numbers!" "Heartnet, leave this place to us... and go!" "Go, XIII!" "Mademoiselle Eve is waiting!" "I owe you!" "The sin of betrayal... you shall pay for it now!" "Damn!" "They're here again!" "I shall assist!" "I'm counting on you!" "Awright!" "Each one of you... don't you dare die!" "Since your new black boots caused a blister, you rest your right foot" "We'll keep walking along with our own rhythm, without rushing" "Don't say anything because we'll soon understand each other" "I'm just holding you now to keep you warm" "I'm completely wrapped around you, so..." "Quietly the powder-like snow is building up..." ""Next Episode"" ""Next Episode" I've finally made it this far..." "I've finally made it this far..." "The journey was short yet it seemed long..." "so many things happened." "Well, thanks to those things, I can now see things better..." "Friends... freedom... things like that..." "Well, whether we like it or not, this is the end!" "Everyone, let's go out with a bang so there's no regrets!" ""Carefree Cat" Everyone, let's go out with a bang so there's no regrets!" ""Carefree Cat"" "Bloody Rain!" "Now, go on ahead!" "Right!" "Thanks!" "Those who were swallowed up should be locked up at the very bottom of Eden." "Got it!" "Ahh!" "There's more!" "Tearju!" "Can't you do something about these monsters!" "?" "They are probably the life energy of the people swallowed, transformed by nanomachines." "They will appear anywhere within Eden's power!" "I don't need lectures!" "Just do something!" "If you head towards the rear and go to the control room from its back, there are fewer defenses!" "Gotcha!" "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." "Live the way you want." "Freedom, huh?" "Hey, didja say something!" "?" ""Carefree Cat"" "Bro, I believe in you!" "Sorry, but you can't go any further!" "Take this!" "Penetrating Curse!" "Leave him to me!" "Thanks!" "I'm going ahead!" "No one can stop Eden's progress!" "Wh- what the!" "?" "Now let us go, Eve." "Not to that fake castle..." "But to an even more fun castle..." "Even more fun?" "There will be lots of friends there." "You want to go, don't you?" "Eve!" "What's the matter?" "Come, this way." "Train!" "?" "Sven!" "?" "What's wrong?" "I've lost communication with them..." "Wh- what does that mean!" "?" "Something's strange!" "Wow!" "Amazing!" "It's so shiny!" "Leon!" "Welcome!" " Welcome!" " Welcome!" " Welcome!" "What would you like to order?" " What would you like to order?" " What would you like to order?" " What would you like to order?" "Layla looks so happy..." "Yeah..." "Running a bread shop was her dream." "I'm definitely gonna protect this shop!" "Hah!" "I can handle that all alone!" "What!" "?" "I'll protect the shop and Layla by myself!" "I will too!" "I will, too!" "I won't let you lay a finger on my friends!" "Leon!" "You certainly seem to have gotten stronger." "Haven't you realized it yet?" "The formidable power we possess..." "Your time has ended." "You sure underestimate us." "We will definitely not lose!" "There is only death for traitors." "Now feel the blade of justice!" "It's gotten awfully quiet." "Now what will we do, Sephiria?" "It is obvious." "Are you sure?" "Isn't it the case that, at heart, you wish to live freely like Black Cat, too?" "I shall walk the path I believe in!" "Are you sure you wanna get off here?" "There's quite a ways to town." "Sure, it's not too far that I can't walk." "Oh yeah... if you see that guy..." "let me know." "Sure, I will." "I wonder where he went..." "No one saw him after the battle with Eden." "Hah!" "Who cares where that guy went!" "?" "Sonic Fist!" "Until we destroy Eden, we'll never die!" "What the!" "?" "N- no way!" "Damn!" "Hey!" "Damn it!" "Eden is starting to move again!" "Where is everyone?" "I've..." "lost communication with all of them..." "No!" "Oh, it's going away!" "Please come back!" "Everyone, stop resisting... and give yourself to Eden's rain..." "Oh, what's the matter?" "Why are you crying?" "That's not good." "You are not human." "You are merely a machine part of Eden!" "Now then... it is time to remove the barrier that separates people's physical and spiritual self, and enjoy eternal sleep as one living being." "A little more... just a little bit more..." "My program has entered its final stage!" "Connections reestablished!" "Sorry..." "Your program will never reach completion!" "Well, well..." "I welcome you, Black Cat." "You were still alive." "Very stubborn, aren't you?" "Oh well... how about it?" "A game of nine-ball?" "Oh dear..." "Doctor Kanzaki, release Eve immediately!" "You know, you shouldn't hack into other people's systems, Dr. Lunatique." "Oh?" "And that coming from the man who stole my data and sold his soul to the devil!" "?" "Now that's pretty harsh thing to say..." "But that's all right." "Eden has arrived in Palmila City after all." "Even if a lone Black Cat infiltrated, what can he do?" "What if it's more than one?" "You shouldn't take us lightly." "Why you!" "Well, sorry, but we're here to take Eve back." "What can a bunch like you do!" "?" "And what can you do, all by yourself?" "And what if he's not alone?" "Why you!" "I thought we gave them fatal wounds!" "We cannot be killed inside Eden!" "Nanomachines!" "Tsk!" "I don't know what's going on, but there are more of us than you guys!" "There's plenty of us to handle the lot of you!" "Train!" "Sven!" "Hurry!" "Get Eve!" "We're running out of time!" "Eve is on the top floor of that tower!" "It's over there!" "Now this is interesting!" "If you think you can destroy my perfect program..." "Just try it!" "Awright, leave this to us!" "You two..." "Please go to Eve!" "I'm coming with you, Kuro-sama!" "You will stay here, too." "Boooo!" "We are already one with Eden!" "As long as Eden exists, we will not die!" "And no matter how many times you revive, we shall just destroy you over and over again!" "Go!" "Go for it, Mister!" "Beat them up!" "Jenos!" "Don't you dare lose!" "I'm counting on you to get Eve!" "That power... is it Tao?" "Precisely..." "It is the ultimate technique that I learned from a Taoist twenty years ago." "The Itairiku War..." "It was so horrible, gruesome and tragic that it seemed as if it was out of this world." "And that is when I thought... to end this despicable history of man's hatred and cruelty." "When the war ended and I returned to Chronos," "I quietly enlisted comrades." "Taoist survivors and a scientist..." "And... erasers..." "In other words..." "the Apostles of the Stars..." "Creed!" "Humph!" "What are you doing here?" "Train, I will destroy this man!" "You can go to Eve." "You!" "Hurry and go, Train!" "How funny..." "A failure... who has become a mere mortal is going to beat me!" "?" "You left him for dead..." "and now call him a failure?" "Is that what you call noble!" "?" "Killing ten thousand people at Bioberg..." "Destroying Torneo's research facility..." "Those are all your doing!" "?" "I could not afford to let anyone find out about the Project." "And in order to teach Eve about human life, you just let us take her away, huh!" "?" "You were a fine father to Eve." "And now, you must let go..." "as a good father-of-the-bride would." "Bride?" "Eve was created for Adam from the start." "Although Adam is just a program to make Eden work." "What!" "?" "Eve!" "Train!" "Where are you!" "?" "Train!" "This is no time to play hide-and-seek!" "Come on out, Train!" "Why... are you here?" "I thought you were dead!" "Zagine!" "What's the matter?" "Is that gun just for decoration?" "Shoot!" "This is your chance to avenge your parents' deaths." "Eve!" "Where are you!" "?" "A flower!" "?" "That's the receptor!" "I'm sure of it!" "Eve should be there in the center of that flower!" "Where!" "?" "Where!" "?" "Eve!" "Eve!" "Eve!" "Why hesitate!" "?" "Let's hurry and... settle this!" "I... came here to save my friend!" "I don't have time to fight you!" "You're as cowardly as ever!" "If you won't shoot, I will go first." "Oh, looks like you're finally serious..." "Hah!" "You hold a gun, but don't intend to shoot, huh?" "Fool!" "Live or die..." "I'll let you choose." "What's the matter?" "If you pull the trigger, you might live." "You're not Zagine." "It's a trick by this monstrosity Eden..." "The ghost inside my mind just materialized, is all!" "Humph, who cares?" "The important thing right now is if you pull the trigger, you can live." "Listen..." "Those who choose guns will live in solitude for life." "Everyone else is either enemy or prey." "Those such as the friends that you are trying to protect are just weaklings comforting each other." "Hah!" "Weaklings comforting each other, huh?" " Damn!" " We're surrounded!" "Belze!" "Echidna!" "I'm the only one who can protect you, so..." "Why you!" "Eve!" "Dammit!" "I can't reach her!" "What'll I do!" "?" "Break the stem of the flower!" "Then Eve will be released from the receptor!" "H- how?" "Dammit, where's Train when I need him!" "?" "Hey Train!" "Do something!" "You don't understand a thing, Zagine." "Train!" "I'll treat you to milk!" "That's what makes it interesting!" "Regarding those who were rescued from the huge mysterious flying object that went down..." "It has just been confirmed that all are alive!" "Repeat, they are all alive!" "Are you sure that it's okay, Eve?" " Uh-huh..." " She was nice to suggest that you live with her." "Hello?" "Oh, it's you." "Are things going well with Jenos?" "You don't have to hide it." "What?" "You saw Train?" "No... it's okay." "Thanks for letting me know." "Aren't you going to look for Train?" "Nah." "Thanks, the milk was delicious." "See you around!" "I didn't get to thank Train." "For saving me." "Not to worry..." "He'll suddenly show up before long." "After all, he's a carefree stray cat." "Being free is nice, after all." "Say something?" "Uh-uh..." "Since your new black boots caused a blister, you rest your right foot" "We'll keep walking along with our own rhythm, without rushing" "Don't say anything because we'll soon understand each other" "I'm just holding you now to keep you warm" "I'm completely wrapped around you, so..." "Quietly the powder-like snow is building up..."
