**[00:35] ---**
That look!
**[00:37] ---**
That look in your eyes!
**[00:40] ---**
That woman... You're under
that witch's spell!!
**[00:49] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[00:52] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[00:55] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[00:58] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:15] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:20] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:21] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[01:26] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[01:28] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[01:34] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[01:41] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[01:47] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[01:53] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:00] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*

"The Solitary Cat"
**[03:33] ---**
Y-You...
**[03:37] ---**
You're one of Chronos' henchmen?
**[03:43] ---**
I've come to bring you bad luck...
**[04:01] ---**
Splendid...
You're amazing, Black Cat...
**[04:15] ---**
We have confirmed
the death of the target.
**[04:22] ---**
Good work, No. XIII.
**[04:26] ---**
I commend you for your
very skillful work on this job.
**[04:30] ---**
With that dictator out of the way,
the village will be peaceful once more.
**[04:35] ---**
Now, let us move straight
on to your next mission.
**[04:38] ---**
This job is a bit difficult,
but I think you will do fine.
**[04:42] ---**
I probably don't have to say this,
but this is also a secret mission.
**[04:46] ---**
Make sure you aren't seen...
**[04:48] ---**
Ask Sephiria about the details.
**[04:55] ---**
Train Heartnet, I'll explain
the details of your mission.
**[05:04] ---**
Lib-*sama*!
**[05:06] ---**
Peace for our town!
**[05:15] ---**
Governor? Don't make
me laugh, you thug.
**[05:18] ---**
Extortion, drug dealing, murder...
**[05:22] ---**
And after committing all those crimes
you end up becoming a politician?
**[05:25] ---**
There's no way I'll let
you get away with this.
**[05:27] ---**
You just wait. I'll have you
locked up in no time.
**[05:33] ---**
Damn, if I don't take him into custody
soon, I'm gonna starve to death...
**[05:38] ---**
Spaghetti Neapolitan,
club sandwich, pancake set...
**[05:42] ---**
Everything's so damn expensive!
**[05:46] ---**
Welcome...
**[05:50] ---**
This is a non-smoking section.
**[05:53] ---**
What?
**[05:54] ---**
Here's your coffee.
**[05:55] ---**
Thanks!
**[05:57] ---**
Keep the change.
**[05:59] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[06:01] ---**
It's the exact amount, though.
**[06:02] ---**
Gee, thanks.
**[06:05] ---**
Shall I bring you
something to eat?
**[06:07] ---**
N-No, thanks. Well, you see,
um... I'm on a diet, so...
**[06:18] ---**
Mister, where did you come from?
**[06:21] ---**
Can you guess?
**[06:22] ---**
Sightseeing...
no, that can't be it.
**[06:25] ---**
Oh, I got it! You wandered here
looking to get a little piece of the action
**[06:28] ---**
from the governor's
inauguration, didn't you?
**[06:30] ---**
A piece?
**[06:31] ---**
We've been getting a lot of those
types lately. They're a nuisance.
**[06:34] ---**
Hmm... Yeah, it doesn't look like
there're any gentlemen around here.
**[06:37] ---**
A gentleman?
What's that?
**[06:39] ---**
A man who never forgets
his manners or his pride...
**[06:43] ---**
A Nice Guy!
**[06:47] ---**
Not like I care, but if you stick
to a policy like that in this town,
**[06:51] ---**
they'll make Swiss cheese
of you within five minutes.
**[06:55] ---**
I mean, really...
**[06:56] ---**
Having a gangster for a governor?
What is the world coming to?
**[07:05] ---**
P-Please stop it!
**[07:07] ---**
Those guys again!
**[07:10] ---**
Here I come!
**[07:11] ---**
What's up with this bitch?!
**[07:13] ---**
What'd you say?!
**[07:14] ---**
Hey, while we're at it,
why don't we feel up this bitch, too?
**[07:16] ---**
--Yeah!
**[07:16] ---**
--H-Hey, stop it!
**[07:19] ---**
--Oh, she smells good!
**[07:21] ---**
--Stop it!
**[07:21] ---**
--Keep your paws off us!
This isn't that kind of place!
**[07:24] ---**
Then, let's make it
that kind of place.
**[07:26] ---**
--S-Stop it!
**[07:27] ---**
--Let her go, you perv!
**[07:28] ---**
--Missing Line
**[07:28] ---**
--You shouldn't talk
like that, you know?
**[07:30] ---**
--Hey, give her a break,
'cause she hates us!
**[07:30] ---**
--Missing Line
**[07:35] ---**
Huh? What the heck is this?
**[07:38] ---**
Have some candy
and behave yourselves, boys.
**[07:41] ---**
Now be good boys
and back away from the ladies.
**[07:44] ---**
--What?!
**[07:44] ---**
--What?!
**[07:45] ---**
Good, that's more like it.
I'll give you each one more as a reward.
**[07:55] ---**
Those're nano-machines.
**[07:57] ---**
They enter your body and will burn you
from the inside using 1,000-degree heat...
**[08:03] ---**
Just kidding. Don't worry.
**[08:05] ---**
They're "Gentleman's special
jalapeño candy." They won't kill you.
**[08:10] ---**
All right, chow down!
**[08:12] ---**
Whoa! What a feast!
**[08:13] ---**
I'll put it on your tab for you.
**[08:16] ---**
You're charging me?
**[08:18] ---**
Yep!
**[08:25] ---**
Live or die, I'll let you choose.
**[08:29] ---**
Train, I saw your work...
**[08:33] ---**
You're amazing!
**[08:36] ---**
Your unwavering bullet
shot right through his vital parts.
**[08:39] ---**
It is surely art.
**[08:41] ---**
You and I are the only
ones who can kill like that.
**[08:44] ---**
You're truly amazing,
Train Heartnet!
**[09:20] ---**
I beg of you...
Please don't kill me...
**[09:23] ---**
Please!
**[09:32] ---**
There's no more left...
**[09:42] ---**
Live or die, I'll let you choose.
**[09:59] ---**
Just as I expected, it doesn't
look like I can do it outside...
**[10:06] ---**
I'm Lib Tyrant.
**[10:09] ---**
I've become the new
governor thanks to your support.
**[10:13] ---**
God bless all those
who supported me!
**[10:18] ---**
*As expected,
the security's tight here...*
**[10:26] ---**
Oops, it slipped...
**[10:28] ---**
Sorry...
**[10:32] ---**
This great day will be forever
engraved in history as the day that I, Lib,
**[10:36] ---**
brought peace to this land...
**[10:40] ---**
*Looks like my chance is when
the governor leaves his seat...*
**[10:59] ---**
What an unfriendly brat...
**[11:01] ---**
Now, I'd like to make
an announcement to everyone.
**[11:04] ---**
I'd like to introduce you
to my fiancée, Joanna.
**[11:08] ---**
We're going to get
married next month!
**[11:12] ---**
Just like our love, the peace in
Blakio City is forever indestructible!
**[11:18] ---**
Peace for our land,
and Lib for your governor!
**[11:20] ---**
I, Lib Tyrant, aim to serve
as your governor for a long time!
**[11:24] ---**
Hail Governor Lib!
**[11:28] ---**
Marrying a gangster, huh?
**[11:31] ---**
Hurrah!
**[11:39] ---**
Geez, what a pain in the ass...
**[12:11] ---**
*L... Lib's gonna be killed?*
**[13:03] ---**
*There's no mistaking it...*
**[13:04] ---**
*My right eye, the "vision eye," foresaw
what'll happen five minutes from now...*
**[13:11] ---**
*In five minutes, Lib won't
be with us any longer...*
**[13:19] ---**
*I have to take Lib into
custody before he comes...*
**[13:25] ---**
Don't move!
**[13:26] ---**
Who are you?
**[13:29] ---**
Just don't get
tough with a tax payer.
**[13:32] ---**
H-Hey! Wait!
**[13:39] ---**
*Shit! The "vision eye"
really uses a lot of energy!*
**[13:51] ---**
Sorry! I'm in a hurry...
**[13:59] ---**
*Looks like Lib's
security's still tight...*
**[14:02] ---**
*Two more minutes...*
**[14:18] ---**
*Time is running out...*
**[14:21] ---**
*He's definitely in this hall...
The assassin who's after Lib...*
**[14:27] ---**
*But, is it really possible for him
to kill Lib while he's in this hall?*
**[14:33] ---**
*Even if he could kill Lib,
there's no way for him to escape...*
**[14:38] ---**
*No, instead of thinking
about the assassin,*
**[14:41] ---**
*I'd better think about how to take Lib
into custody with the seconds that remain.*
**[14:47] ---**
*Thanks to the use of my "vision eye"
earlier, I'm completely exhausted...*
**[14:50] ---**
*There's no way I can
overpower Lib's bodyguards...*
**[14:53] ---**
*and I've already
used the sleeping gas...*
**[14:55] ---**
*Is there any way I can come
out ahead in this situation?*
**[14:58] ---**
*No, I can't be discouraged...*
**[15:01] ---**
*If I fail in this job,
I won't be able to pay the car loan.*
**[15:04] ---**
*On top of not being able to eat,*
**[15:06] ---**
*I may end up not having
enough money for cigarettes!*
**[15:09] ---**
*What?!*
**[15:12] ---**
Well, then, I'd like to ask the
governor to give us one last comment.
**[15:17] ---**
Governor Lib, please!
**[15:25] ---**
Shit!
**[15:29] ---**
Damn it!
**[15:33] ---**
This is no joke!
**[15:36] ---**
If I don't get Lib before he does,
**[15:39] ---**
my life will be...!
**[15:42] ---**
Gentleman Dash!!
**[15:49] ---**
Gentleman Net!!
**[15:53] ---**
Oh... Looks like I got caught...
**[15:55] ---**
Rats...
**[16:17] ---**
I've come to bring you bad luck...
**[16:31] ---**
No!!
**[16:41] ---**
Hold it!
**[16:44] ---**
Why'd you kill him?
**[16:46] ---**
I was going to take
him into custody alive...
**[16:55] ---**
He was a rogue, but you
didn't have to kill him!
**[16:59] ---**
Are you saying that a bad guy
doesn't have the right to live?!
**[17:02] ---**
Get down.
**[17:15] ---**
How dare you kill Lib-*sama*?!
I won't let you out of here alive!
**[17:22] ---**
Die!
**[17:47] ---**
You never saw me... Got that?
**[17:54] ---**
Bastard! Wait up!
**[17:58] ---**
I lost him...
**[18:02] ---**
Now... are you ready?
**[18:05] ---**
You've made a scratch on that
beautiful face of Train's, so...
**[18:23] ---**
What was that?!
**[18:28] ---**
So it was my stomach
that was screaming, huh?
**[18:31] ---**
I should've eaten
more at the party!
**[18:42] ---**
Engraved roman numerals on his chest?
Then, he's one of the Chrono Numbers.
**[18:47] ---**
Chrono Numbers?
**[18:48] ---**
They're Chronos' erasers.
**[18:51] ---**
Erasers?
**[18:53] ---**
They're the assassins
that belong to Chronos.
**[18:56] ---**
That guy who looked like a kid is...?
**[18:58] ---**
Like a kid? Did you run into him?
What was his number?!
**[19:03] ---**
Number?
**[19:04] ---**
The numeral engraved on his chest!
**[19:07] ---**
Th-Thirteen...
**[19:08] ---**
Get out!
**[19:10] ---**
What's with you all of a sudden?
**[19:11] ---**
Take that and get out already!
**[19:14] ---**
N-No way!
What about the money?!
**[19:16] ---**
You can't get anything
for that beat-up watch!
**[19:18] ---**
This isn't some flea market!
**[19:21] ---**
Come on...
**[19:23] ---**
I'm trying to get some money from
this to pay my living expenses...
**[19:28] ---**
A black cat...
**[19:29] ---**
Black?
**[19:30] ---**
The thirteenth man
in Chrono Numbers, "Black Cat."
**[19:35] ---**
I've been an information
broker for a long time,
**[19:38] ---**
but I don't know anyone
targeted by him that's still alive...
**[19:41] ---**
"Antiques"
**[19:42] ---**
It's a problem if a guy who's involved
**[19:44] ---**
with a Grim Reaper like
him comes to my shop!
**[19:47] ---**
So... you still can't give
me any money for this?
**[19:49] ---**
This isn't some flea market!
**[19:54] ---**
Black Cat, huh?
**[19:59] ---**
It's awfully quiet around here.
**[20:01] ---**
It was good that the gang members
fled town after the governor's death,
**[20:04] ---**
but it's ruining our business...
**[20:07] ---**
So, Mr. Gentleman,
will this be on your tab again?
**[20:10] ---**
Yes...
**[20:11] ---**
What's your occupation?
**[20:12] ---**
I'm a sweeper...
**[20:24] ---**

I'll take that!
**[02:57] ---**
Nothing beats a bottle
of milk after singing!
**[03:00] ---**
But, if you're up here just
staring into space like that,
**[03:03] ---**
a crow'll peck your head!
**[03:08] ---**
Are you moon-gazing with your cat?
**[03:10] ---**
Oh, no! Does that mean
I drank the milk for the cat?
**[03:14] ---**
I'm sorry, but I was thirsty, so...
**[03:17] ---**
However! It's also your
fault for letting your guard down!
**[03:20] ---**
If it wasn't for me, you would've
definitely gotten pecked by that crow!
**[03:31] ---**
A boy whose only friends
are cats can't look cool at all
**[03:34] ---**
even when he tries
to act smooth, you know!
**[03:39] ---**
At any rate, your
friend is late, isn't he?
**[03:46] ---**
Wow! That's a pretty gun!
**[03:51] ---**
But why do you have a gun?
**[03:54] ---**
You have one, too.
**[03:57] ---**
Ta-da! I may not look like
one, but I'm a sweeper!
**[04:01] ---**
What about you?
**[04:18] ---**
We're kinda alike, aren't we?
**[04:23] ---**
I'll take this, too, okay?
**[04:28] ---**
Ah, that was good!
**[04:30] ---**
Thanks for the milk!
**[04:33] ---**
Looks like your friend's
not coming tonight, huh?
**[04:36] ---**
I think you've done
enough moon-gazing, too...
**[04:41] ---**
See, you got pecked!
**[04:44] ---**
Well, then, see ya!
**[04:56] ---**
Hiya!
**[05:04] ---**
I haven't eaten anything since this
morning, so... Now, what'll I have...
**[05:08] ---**
You can't put it
on your tab any more!
**[05:10] ---**
I-I know!
**[05:12] ---**
This is my treat.
**[05:13] ---**
Thanks a bunch!
**[05:15] ---**
But, this is the last time!
**[05:20] ---**
Cover my tab with this...
**[05:22] ---**
Like I said, no one's gonna
buy such a beat-up watch!
**[05:28] ---**
Why don't you quit your unstable
job as a sweeper and start working?
**[05:32] ---**
Well, it's hard to find
targets worthy of me, so...
**[05:36] ---**
Being down-to-earth
is the best way to live.
**[05:38] ---**
You've got kids back home, right?

Hang in there, p... o... p... s!
**[05:50] ---**
Bread tastes best with butter!
**[05:52] ---**
Marmalade!
**[05:53] ---**
Strawberry jam, strawberry jam,
strawberry jam!
**[05:56] ---**
I said butter!!
**[05:58] ---**
Marmalade!
**[06:00] ---**
Strawberry jam!
**[06:01] ---**
Butter!
**[06:03] ---**
Shut up!!
**[06:05] ---**
Now that it's come to this,
I guess I'll go after some small fries...
**[06:18] ---**
You go...
**[06:19] ---**
I'm... targeting someone else.
**[06:22] ---**
I heard that he makes
whatever he touches rot...
**[06:26] ---**
Even though it's a 1.8 mil
G bounty, it's too risky...
**[06:29] ---**
What a bunch of chickens!
**[06:32] ---**
Welcome...
**[06:33] ---**
And, the guy I caught
the other day was...
**[06:36] ---**
What the...
**[06:42] ---**
What?!
**[06:45] ---**
What the hell...
**[06:47] ---**
Who the hell is that?
**[07:00] ---**
Hiya, Annette...
**[07:04] ---**
Hey, it's you, Sven!
So, you're still alive...
**[07:08] ---**
Yeah, somehow...
**[07:12] ---**
What's with the long face?
**[07:15] ---**
Leave me alone...
**[07:25] ---**
Aren't there any
good jobs out there?
**[07:27] ---**
Someone already
took the big fish...
**[07:31] ---**
Missed it by a hair, huh?
**[07:34] ---**
27,000 gold...
**[07:37] ---**
20,000 gold, 15,000 gold...
**[07:41] ---**
I guess I'll just settle
with this one for now...
**[07:44] ---**
Tony Kaye for 50,000 gold...
**[07:54] ---**
*What the...?!*
**[07:57] ---**
Hold it, bitch!
**[07:59] ---**
H-Hey you...
I was gonna take that...
**[08:02] ---**
This guy's too tough for you.
**[08:08] ---**
Please help me!
**[08:11] ---**
Some scary people are chasing
after me! Please! Help me!
**[08:16] ---**
Okay, I'll kick their asses...
**[08:23] ---**
Whoa...
**[08:25] ---**
Ha! All that work on your
pectoral major muscle was a waste!
**[08:30] ---**
I won't let you get away, you bitch!
**[08:33] ---**
Sven!
**[08:33] ---**
--Come on, you bitch!
**[08:33] ---**
--Somebody help!!
**[08:33] ---**
--Don't give us any trouble!
**[08:36] ---**
Man, I'm not exactly
running on a full tank...
**[08:38] ---**
It's tough being a gentleman.
**[08:42] ---**
Stop right there!
**[08:46] ---**
Now, back away
from that beautiful lady,
**[08:48] ---**
or this gentleman will
have to teach you a lesson!
**[08:53] ---**
What the hell's with this geezer?!
**[08:54] ---**
What is this, some geezer with
a death wish coming to save the day?!
**[08:57] ---**
Butt out, you geezer!
**[08:59] ---**
Wow!
**[09:02] ---**
I'm not a geezer!!
I'm a gentleman!!
**[09:08] ---**
Now, mademoiselle,
let's have some tea, shall we?
**[09:16] ---**
Gosh... Thanks a lot for
treating me to all this! Um...
**[09:21] ---**
I'm Elena.
**[09:23] ---**
Please don't worry,
eat to your heart's content...
**[09:26] ---**
'Cause you... saved my life!
**[09:32] ---**
Well... not really!
**[09:35] ---**
I wonder if those guys
really are bad guys...
**[09:37] ---**
They attacked me
all of a sudden!
**[09:39] ---**
To take down such scary people
just like that... You're amazing!
**[09:44] ---**
Oh, that? I was just doing
my duty as a gentleman.
**[09:49] ---**
Would you please
give me your name?
**[09:51] ---**
Sven Vollfied.
I'm just a measly sweeper.
**[09:55] ---**
You're a real pro!
**[09:57] ---**
Well, I'm not all that...
**[10:01] ---**
Um... I would like to ask
you a big favor, Sven-*san*...
**[10:06] ---**
Yes, certainly, what is it?
**[10:08] ---**
My little sister...
**[10:09] ---**
Your little sister?
**[10:10] ---**
I'd like you to rescue
my kidnapped little sister!
**[10:14] ---**
The reward is...
**[10:16] ---**
this!
**[10:25] ---**
*We're kinda alike, aren't we?*
**[10:42] ---**
XIII, here's your mission.
**[10:58] ---**
We're kinda alike, aren't we?
**[11:31] ---**
I'm sorry! It's been a while since
I saw such a huge sum of money,
**[11:35] ---**
so it was too much...
**[11:36] ---**
What're you doing
with this much money?
**[11:40] ---**
I prepared it as ransom
money for my little sister.
**[11:43] ---**
But if you can rescue her,
I'll give it all to you, Sven-*san*!
**[11:49] ---**
Do you have any clue
as to who took your little sister?
**[11:53] ---**
I know who did it.
**[11:55] ---**
Then, I think you're better
off contacting the police...
**[11:59] ---**
They're a lot more
reliable than asking this guy...
**[12:03] ---**
This is someone
the police can't handle.
**[12:07] ---**
Who is this guy?
**[12:10] ---**
Torneo Rudman...
**[12:12] ---**
Torneo?
The arms trader?
**[12:16] ---**
Yes...
**[12:17] ---**
Why in the world would an arms
trader kidnap your little sister?
**[12:21] ---**
He's actually a gangster!
What he's doing is just crazy!
**[12:25] ---**
When I think about what he might
have kidnapped my little sister for,
**[12:29] ---**
I can't sleep at night...
**[12:31] ---**
What poor luck she had,
**[12:33] ---**
being targeted by such
a troublesome creep...
**[12:37] ---**
Then, does that mean even
you can't handle it, Sven-*san*?
**[12:40] ---**
Ha! Are you kidding?
**[12:42] ---**
Up against me,
**[12:43] ---**
someone like Torneo is as harmless
as a little baby, mademoiselle...
**[12:47] ---**
Then, you're going to
save my little sister?!
**[12:50] ---**
Oh, Rins' deeply moved!
**[12:53] ---**
Rins?
**[12:54] ---**
Um, well, I liked the smell
of the conditioner that I used
**[12:57] ---**
when rinsing my hair,
and it really moved me...
**[13:00] ---**
Elena's happy, Sven-*san*...
**[13:39] ---**
You want more?
**[13:51] ---**
Oh, all right...
**[14:18] ---**
So, you like cats after all?
**[14:25] ---**
Good evening!
**[14:32] ---**
Could it be that you came
here because you missed me?
**[14:38] ---**
Kidding, kidding.
**[14:40] ---**
I see some milk!
**[14:55] ---**
Boy, that was good!
**[14:57] ---**
You saved me.
I was really thirsty.
**[15:02] ---**
Could it be that you're using milk
to get me to keep coming back?
**[15:07] ---**
So, I was right...
**[15:14] ---**
You don't talk much...
Why don't you say something?
**[15:19] ---**
Like, "It's a beautiful
evening, isn't it?"
**[15:22] ---**
Strange...
**[15:24] ---**
What?
**[15:25] ---**
That's a strange outfit.
**[15:28] ---**
How rude! This is the
traditional dress of Zipang!
**[15:32] ---**
Look, it's cute, isn't it?
**[15:35] ---**
Not particularly...
**[15:36] ---**
In times like this, say
"it's cute," even if that's a lie!!
**[15:40] ---**
I'll never say it!
**[15:44] ---**
Well, then,
I guess I'll get going...
**[15:48] ---**
Going?
**[15:48] ---**
Actually, I've got a job tonight.
**[15:51] ---**
A sweeper job?
**[15:53] ---**
Yep. It's gonna be my first
big fish in a long time. Ta-da!
**[15:58] ---**
This guy's the target.
Preta Ghoul for 1.8 million gold!
**[16:02] ---**
He's a cold-blooded
murderer who's killed 16 people!
**[16:06] ---**
He's an enemy of women!
**[16:08] ---**
He's no ordinary murderer...
**[16:11] ---**
Exactly! He's a monster.
**[16:13] ---**
According to witnesses,
**[16:14] ---**
it looks like he secretes
corrosive fluid from his hands...
**[16:17] ---**
Because of that, his
victims all rotted away...
**[16:20] ---**
Are you sure you can handle him?
**[16:22] ---**
Oh? Are you possibly
trying to keep me here?
**[16:26] ---**
Or, are you worried?
**[16:30] ---**
Don't underestimate me! I can take care
of a guy like this with my eyes closed...
**[16:34] ---**
Are you gonna kill
him with that gun?
**[16:37] ---**
Killing isn't a sweeper's job.
**[16:49] ---**
That's just being naive...
**[16:51] ---**
A gun is a tool for murders.
**[16:53] ---**
It depends on how it's used...
**[16:56] ---**
Well, then, I'm taking off.
**[17:46] ---**
A-A seventeenth victim?
**[18:19] ---**
Eighteenth victim...
**[18:23] ---**
And here's the nineteenth victim!
**[18:31] ---**
I guess you'll make
it an even twenty...
**[18:34] ---**
I'm quite impressed that a young
lady like you came to pay me a visit!
**[18:38] ---**
Preta Ghoul! I won't
let you kill anyone else!
**[18:44] ---**
Are you saying you're
going to capture me?
**[18:46] ---**
When I see a woman with a
smart mouth, it gets me fired up...
**[18:51] ---**
Where are you?!
Come out, Preta Ghoul!
**[18:56] ---**
There you are!
**[19:00] ---**
You're my memorable
twentieth victim...
**[19:03] ---**
Why don't you and
me have a lot of fun?
**[19:15] ---**
Why are you avoiding me?!
**[19:23] ---**
Oh, no... My *yukata*...
This was my favorite!
**[19:33] ---**
Why? Why don't women
ever accept my love?!
**[19:40] ---**
I've got so much love to give!
**[19:43] ---**
Now, come into my arms!
**[19:49] ---**
Monster! Get away
from that weird chick!
**[19:52] ---**
Weird?
**[19:54] ---**
Now, step away from her immediately,
**[19:56] ---**
otherwise the next bullet's
going through your skull!
**[20:01] ---**
To me, bullets just...
**[20:05] ---**
fall out, like this...
**[20:08] ---**
Oh, it fell out, fell out again,
that one too...
**[20:14] ---**
Things like guns are
useless against me! Useless!
**[20:16] ---**
Is that so?
**[20:22] ---**
My face...
is rotting, and falli...
**[20:30] ---**
Preta Ghoul got arrested!
**[20:33] ---**
Why didn't you shoot him?
**[20:35] ---**
Hmm, I wonder why...
**[20:38] ---**
Well, if I had to say, I'd say
because I didn't wanna shoot, I guess...
**[20:43] ---**
I don't shoot
if I don't wanna shoot...
**[20:45] ---**
Yes, that's the right
answer if I do say so myself...
**[20:48] ---**
Well, then, I'll see you around!
**[20:49] ---**
Don't worry. You won't
melt even if we shake hands.
**[20:54] ---**
How are we alike?
**[20:56] ---**
What?
**[20:57] ---**
You said that the other day...
**[21:00] ---**
Oh, that?
That was, you know...
**[21:03] ---**
It was that both you and
I like being on rooftops...
**[21:06] ---**
Huh? Really, that's all!
**[21:14] ---**
XIII...
**[21:17] ---**
Belze...
**[21:19] ---**
Why did you ignore the summons?
**[21:23] ---**
Never mind. I won't
punish you this time...
**[21:28] ---**
You've got an urgent mission.
**[21:30] ---**
The preparation's complete...
**[21:32] ---**
Are you really going?
**[21:34] ---**
As a gentleman, I can't
abandon an innocent girl, can I?
**[21:39] ---**
Be careful. That Elena woman
can't be completely trusted.
**[21:44] ---**
It's against my gentleman's code
to doubt a woman in trouble, so...
**[21:49] ---**
Sven-*san*!
**[21:53] ---**
I'm... coming, too!
**[21:55] ---**
What?!
**[21:56] ---**
I'm worried about my little sister.
I won't be in your way!
**[21:59] ---**
I wanna save my little sister!

My little sister's at Torneo's
vacation home right now.
**[00:20] ---**
Vacation home?
She isn't at his mansion?
**[00:22] ---**
Yes, he goes to his vacation home
every second Saturday without exception.
**[00:26] ---**
So, he takes his hostage with him to his
vacation home on every Saturday, huh?
**[00:29] ---**
Yes... 'cause they
just do crazy stuff.
**[00:36] ---**
W-We might be pretty crazy, too...

"The Cat in the Dark"
**[02:46] ---**
Wh-What the hell is going on?
**[02:49] ---**
He's alive...
**[02:52] ---**
Apparently, they were all
knocked unconscious by one blow...
**[02:55] ---**
Sven-*san*! Looks like
she's in a room upstairs...
**[03:19] ---**
B-Black Cat!
**[03:22] ---**
Hold it!
**[03:24] ---**
You again...
Stay out of my way!
**[03:26] ---**
Not a chance!
**[03:28] ---**
I've got a huge pile of bills, and...
No, what I mean is...
**[03:31] ---**
You'd just point your
gun at a child like that?!
**[03:33] ---**
Please! Let that girl go!!
**[03:38] ---**
This is what I do...
**[03:41] ---**
So, you're just Chronos'
pet cat after all...
**[03:48] ---**
Blood...
**[03:51] ---**
This smells of blood.
**[03:55] ---**
The game's over!
**[03:58] ---**
Just drop your guns
and raise your hands.
**[04:11] ---**
Well, well...
Welcome, my guests.
**[04:16] ---**
So the final boss
shows himself, huh?
**[04:18] ---**
But you're a little too
dangerous to be called guests.
**[04:24] ---**
We're fitting guests for you, aren't we?
**[04:27] ---**
This guest talks a lot.
But the smart remarks end here.
**[04:32] ---**
Sorry, but I'll have
to ask my guests...
**[04:34] ---**
to disappear now.
**[05:03] ---**
H-Hey!
No!!
**[05:06] ---**
Shoot! Shoot!!
**[05:07] ---**
Wait! You're gonna shoot Eve!!
**[05:28] ---**
B-Black Cat...
**[05:35] ---**
No matter how many
rats sneak into my place,
**[05:38] ---**
they'll just become
prey for my masterpiece.
**[05:57] ---**
It's now morning, but it seems like
they're not after us, doesn't it?
**[06:02] ---**
Wh-Why are you dressed like that?
**[06:06] ---**
You have to be well-groomed,
even if it's just for making coffee.
**[06:10] ---**
That's gentleman's
etiquette, you know...
**[06:14] ---**
Gentleman's... huh?
**[06:17] ---**
Well...
**[06:20] ---**
Isn't it about time
for you to tell me the truth?
**[06:25] ---**
What?
**[06:30] ---**
It's no use hiding it.
**[06:33] ---**
You wouldn't refer to your
own sister as "that girl," right?
**[06:38] ---**
Also, why would Black Cat
be after your little sister?
**[06:41] ---**
You don't have to think very hard
to realize something's odd, right?
**[06:44] ---**
I've known that something
was up ever since you told me
**[06:46] ---**
that she was kidnapped by Torneo...
**[06:49] ---**
Miss Rinslet Walker,
the ace female thief...
**[06:55] ---**
Now that you've figured it out,
I guess I have no choice...
**[06:59] ---**
Well done, Sven Vollfied,
ex-IBI agent...
**[07:05] ---**
So, what are you after?
**[07:12] ---**
That girl...
**[07:15] ---**
is the ultimate bio-weapon.
**[07:18] ---**
Bio-weapon?
**[07:21] ---**
Are you familiar
with nanotechnology?
**[07:25] ---**
I've heard of it...
**[07:27] ---**
There's a type of engineering that
uses micro-robots called nanomachines,
**[07:31] ---**
which are a nano-meter in size.
**[07:35] ---**
That's nanotechnology...
**[07:37] ---**
It was supposed to be used for things like
helping to overcome intractable diseases
**[07:42] ---**
by altering the structure of DNA,
**[07:43] ---**
and creating new materials
by rearranging molecules, but...
**[07:48] ---**
But?
**[07:49] ---**
You've heard about that military facility
that collapsed a few years ago, haven't you?
**[07:56] ---**
If I remember correctly, an ammunition
dump within the facility exploded, right?
**[08:01] ---**
The one that caused the
deaths of more than 10,000 people...
**[08:04] ---**
That was a tragic accident...
**[08:07] ---**
What if it wasn't an accident?
**[08:10] ---**
You don't mean...!
**[08:11] ---**
It was Torneo who caused that accident.
**[08:14] ---**
His goal was to steal nanotechnology that
was sealed within the military facility,
**[08:20] ---**
and to have it traded
as a military weapon...
**[08:24] ---**
No way. Are you saying he
caused that many deaths for that?
**[08:30] ---**
Then...!
**[08:32] ---**
That's right.
**[08:33] ---**
The ultimate bio-weapon created
using that stolen nanotechnology is...
**[08:41] ---**
That girl... Eve, huh?
**[08:45] ---**
And, your goal would be to steal
that nanotechnology data, huh?
**[08:53] ---**
Of course!
What else would it be?!
**[08:56] ---**
If I take that data back to the military,
I'll get a huge reward for it!
**[09:02] ---**
This is like hitting the
jackpot, don't you think?!
**[09:06] ---**
Whatever...
**[09:08] ---**
Hey, where're you going?!
**[09:09] ---**
I'm gonna go buy some cigarettes.
**[09:30] ---**
Now it's cold...
**[09:41] ---**
So, you're just Chronos'
pet cat after all...
**[09:51] ---**
T-Torneo-*sama*,
please forgive me!
**[09:56] ---**
Please don't kill me!
**[09:58] ---**
The mistake you made
is worth the ultimate punishment.
**[10:02] ---**
I-It was certainly my
mistake that the intruders snuck in
**[10:05] ---**
but I didn't expect that Black Cat
to come to your secret vacation home.
**[10:10] ---**
It wasn't just Black Cat.
You also let two rats into...
**[10:14] ---**
Now, hold on, Flit.
**[10:16] ---**
If you don't want to die, then run...
**[10:20] ---**
What?
**[10:24] ---**
Don't you get it?
It's a game of "tag."
**[10:28] ---**
Run, run, run for your life!
**[10:31] ---**
Eve!
**[10:33] ---**
It's time to play a game of tag.
**[10:36] ---**
Tag...
**[10:40] ---**
The one who's it
has to hunt down the prey.
**[10:43] ---**
Understand?
**[10:45] ---**
I am...
**[10:49] ---**
it.
**[11:05] ---**
The smell of blood...
**[11:07] ---**
What's the matter, Eve?
Finish him off!
**[11:11] ---**
This isn't...
**[11:13] ---**
This isn't the prey
I'm hunting for...
**[11:27] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[11:29] ---**
No, don't!
**[11:30] ---**
There's still a lot to teach
her about being a weapon...
**[11:34] ---**
But she's a complete success,
as she can transform in a split second.
**[11:39] ---**
She'll be completed soon... soon.
**[11:51] ---**
Wh-What happened?
**[11:54] ---**
Out of the way...
**[11:56] ---**
You...
**[11:57] ---**
What are you doing?!
Go back to your room!
**[11:59] ---**
Out of the way...
**[12:01] ---**
If you don't go back right away...
**[12:15] ---**
Two packs of Lamies, ma'am.
**[12:18] ---**
Okay.
**[12:21] ---**
*The question is,
what's my next move?*
**[13:00] ---**
*That girl is the ultimate bio-weapon...*
**[13:18] ---**
Tiptoe, tiptoe, tippytoe...
**[13:27] ---**
You are...
**[13:28] ---**
Yes, yes, yes!
**[13:29] ---**
Who are you?
**[13:30] ---**
Who?! What?
**[13:39] ---**
Young lady, what're you
doing in a place like this?
**[13:43] ---**
I...
**[13:46] ---**
am it.
**[13:47] ---**
What?
**[13:48] ---**
It...
**[14:04] ---**
Where's Eve?!
**[14:06] ---**
Y-Yes, sir! It seems that
she's not on the premises!
**[14:09] ---**
What?!
**[14:11] ---**
Flit!
**[14:12] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[14:13] ---**
If something happens to Eve,
you know what that means, right?
**[14:18] ---**
She's wearing a bracelet
transmitter just in case.
**[14:27] ---**
So, young lady, what're you
doing in a place like this?
**[14:30] ---**
Where... am I?
**[14:33] ---**
Are you lost?
**[14:36] ---**
Lost...
**[14:38] ---**
No...
**[14:39] ---**
I... am it.
**[14:46] ---**
Until I catch him,
I can't finish playing...
**[14:50] ---**
tag.
**[14:56] ---**
Oh, I see!
**[15:01] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[15:04] ---**
*I dare not say that I'm
trying to capture you*...
**[15:11] ---**
I just, um...
you know...
**[15:16] ---**
I came to feed the doves!
'Cause they're cute!
**[15:22] ---**
Feed?
**[15:24] ---**
Well, feed, feed, feed,
feed for the doves...
**[15:29] ---**
I used up all the feed
earlier so I don't have any left.
**[15:34] ---**
I see...
**[15:38] ---**
Wait here.
I'll go buy some!
**[15:42] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[15:44] ---**
Here, ice cream!
**[15:50] ---**
Feed?
**[15:52] ---**
First, we have to feed ourselves.
**[16:02] ---**
It's cold and sweet...
**[16:05] ---**
And yet, the sweetness isn't heavy.
**[16:07] ---**
The feeling as it melts
in your mouth is great and...
**[16:16] ---**
Here, use this to wipe your mouth.
**[16:26] ---**
*This is a weapon?*
**[16:29] ---**
Ice cream...
**[16:32] ---**
tastes good.
**[16:36] ---**
Hey, hey, if you're impressed with something
like ice cream, you're in for a treat!
**[16:41] ---**
In for a treat?
Yeah!
**[16:43] ---**
By that I mean there's lots of good food
out there that tastes better than this!
**[16:47] ---**
Good food?
**[16:48] ---**
Steak, coffee,
cigarettes and beer...
**[16:51] ---**
Oh, those're *my* favorites, I guess...
**[16:54] ---**
Cakes, chocolates, tiramisu,
tapioca pudding, *annin-dofu*...
**[17:00] ---**
Gentlemen don't like
sweets much, so...
**[17:04] ---**
So, there're many...
**[17:06] ---**
I don't know much about the outside, so...
**[17:15] ---**
Now, watch.
**[17:16] ---**
There!
**[17:36] ---**
All right!
**[17:38] ---**
Do you wanna go out
for good food sometime?!
**[17:41] ---**
Good food?
**[17:42] ---**
Yep! There's a whole lot of good
stuff out there besides sweets!
**[17:46] ---**
Curry with rice, hamburger steak,
spaghetti Neapolitan...
**[17:55] ---**
Will you take me
to eat good food?
**[17:59] ---**
Yes, it's a promise.
**[18:03] ---**
Promise...
**[18:05] ---**
Promise!
**[18:07] ---**
Oh, come to think of it, they were
selling crepes at that food stand, too...
**[18:11] ---**
Wait here!
**[18:25] ---**
Now, which one shall I get?
**[18:34] ---**
We're going home, Eve.
**[18:35] ---**
Hold it!
**[18:42] ---**
Shit!
**[18:44] ---**
Wait!
**[18:50] ---**
Promise...
**[19:07] ---**
The smell of blood...
**[19:09] ---**
Hi there!
**[19:11] ---**
You're looking better
than I thought, Train.
**[19:14] ---**
Shall I give you a hand if you're
having trouble with your mission?
**[19:20] ---**
It's none of your business.
**[19:25] ---**
Did you run into
the bio-weapon girl?
**[19:30] ---**
I'm sure it's not the case
**[19:32] ---**
that you couldn't shoot because
the target was a child, right?
**[19:37] ---**
When it comes to
Numbers' missions,
**[19:39] ---**
it doesn't really matter whether
the target is an adult or a child.
**[19:41] ---**
That's my Train! I knew I didn't place
my confidence in you for nothing.
**[19:46] ---**
If you're done here,
get lost already!
**[19:50] ---**
Transform...
**[19:54] ---**
You know what Torneo stole from
a military base a few years ago, don't you?
**[20:00] ---**
That's right. The data
about nanotechnology.
**[20:05] ---**
It's rumored that the attack capability
developed using that nanotechnology...
**[20:08] ---**
is the ability to transform.
**[20:12] ---**
By altering the sequence
of cells in her body,
**[20:15] ---**
she can become a "devil,"
an "angel"...
**[20:18] ---**
and she can also become
a "silent weapon," too...
**[20:21] ---**
*That* is the "transform" ability...
**[20:25] ---**
You met Eve in the park?!
And, you're saying she was taken away?!
**[20:30] ---**
Yeah...
**[20:30] ---**
Why're you so calm?!
Why didn't you bring her back with you?!
**[20:35] ---**
Can't be helped...
**[20:36] ---**
"Can't be helped"? But...
**[20:38] ---**
There's one thing I found out...
**[20:42] ---**
She's not some sort of weapon.
**[20:44] ---**
She's just a girl who grew up
in a slightly different world.
**[20:49] ---**
Even with nanotechnology,
**[20:50] ---**
if you use it for good,
it'll take you in the right direction.
**[20:55] ---**
Torneo Rudman...
**[20:57] ---**
As a sweeper, no, as a gentleman,
I won't let you get away with this...
**[21:01] ---**
But it seems that
you don't have to fear...
**[21:05] ---**
I heard that the girl isn't
actually complete as a weapon yet.
**[21:11] ---**
Which means that sooner is
better if you want to attack her.
**[21:18] ---**
So, what're you gonna do?
**[21:20] ---**
So, what're you going to do now?
**[21:23] ---**
It's easy!
**[21:25] ---**
I'll make a lot of noise
so that they'll notice.
**[21:27] ---**
Then, Torneo'll probably use Eve...
**[21:30] ---**
So, that's when you'll attack her!
**[21:33] ---**
That's when I'll rescue her.
**[21:36] ---**
Then, as I thought...
**[21:38] ---**
I'll head in from the front!
**[21:41] ---**
I'll set off loud fireworks!
**[21:45] ---**
Wait! No matter what
you say, this is crazy!
**[21:49] ---**
Don't worry.
I have a trump card.
**[21:51] ---**
T-Trump card?
**[21:53] ---**
If it comes down to it, I'll take a good
look at my enemy with both eyes.
**[21:59] ---**
Are you nuts?!
What're you talking about?!
**[22:02] ---**
Well, I guess I'll go
keep my promise!
**[22:06] ---**
That's right, Train.
**[22:08] ---**
That's the almighty
human that I want...
**[22:15] ---**
Train...
**[22:17] ---**
You're truly above them all!
**[22:25] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[22:31] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[22:35] ---**
*Please stop time tonight!*
**[22:49] ---**
*Please show yourself*
**[22:52] ---**
*even if just a little*
**[22:55] ---**
*Around the time the first evening star appears,*
**[22:58] ---**
*I hear footsteps approaching*
**[23:01] ---**
*The only time I can see you**
**[23:04] ---**
s when the moon is shining*
**[23:07] ---**
*Please let me dream a little*
**[23:10] ---**
*'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning*
**[23:13] ---**
*Even though I know it, I still feel lonely*
**[23:17] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[23:22] ---**
*You held me in your arms*
**[23:26] ---**
*and your passionate lips met mine*
**[23:29] ---**
*Please don't let go of me*
**[23:31] ---**
*I'm about to melt in your arms*
**[23:35] ---**
*But morning is almost here*
**[23:38] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[23:41] ---**
*I pray to you,*
**[23:43] ---**
*please stop time*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:56] ---**
*The super cool thief*
**[23:57] ---**
*Rinslet Walker arrives on the scene!*
**[23:59] ---**
*Rats! I thought I'd just waltz in
and obtain the nanotechnology weapon,*
**[24:03] ---**
*but things don't look too good.*
**[24:05] ---**
*The weapon's thinking
about something.*
**[24:07] ---**
*Though it's unlike Sven,
he's developed a father's love,*
**[24:10] ---**
*and even Chronos' assassin
is now getting involved...*
**[24:12] ---**
*If things go on like this,
my plan's gonna be ruined!*
**[24:15] ---**
*How should I put it? I just wish life could be simpler...*

*That's how it always starts...*
**[00:58] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:01] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:05] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:21] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:26] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:27] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[01:32] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[01:34] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[01:40] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[01:47] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[01:53] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:00] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:06] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[02:30] ---**
She's still incomplete
in a number of areas.
**[02:34] ---**
We need to intensify
her training a bit.
**[02:38] ---**
In addition, we must
not damage the product!
**[02:43] ---**
Tighten security so that
she can never escape again!
**[02:47] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[02:48] ---**
Really, a hit product
always comes with troubles...
**[03:01] ---**
I am...
**[03:04] ---**
a weapon.
**[03:06] ---**
"The Grinning Cat"
**[03:15] ---**
Okay...
**[03:16] ---**
I see. Those're some
airtight defenses...
**[03:21] ---**
What'd you find out?
**[03:23] ---**
It looks like the guards
are all inside of the premises.
**[03:25] ---**
I saw more than ten
while scanning the premises.
**[03:27] ---**
They've spread out
infrared rays above the fences.
**[03:31] ---**
As expected, it doesn't look
like it'll be easy to get in...
**[03:35] ---**
Then, I guess we'll force open
the front gate and make some noise.
**[03:38] ---**
What? How are
we gonna open it?!
**[03:41] ---**
Well, just watch.
**[03:44] ---**
What're you doing?
**[03:51] ---**
Hey, it's not exploding.
**[03:54] ---**
You think I'd just
suddenly throw a bomb?
**[04:05] ---**
Okay, so?
**[04:07] ---**
Wha...?
**[04:18] ---**
H-Hey!
What the hell?!
**[04:22] ---**
Looks like it worked...
the "here kitty kitty" bomb.
**[04:26] ---**
Huh?
**[04:27] ---**
It seems there's
some noise out front...
**[04:32] ---**
Wh-What's with all these cats?!
**[04:34] ---**
Where did they come from?!
**[04:36] ---**
Shoo, shoo!
Go away!
**[04:39] ---**
Okay, let's make some noise!
**[04:42] ---**
This is ridiculous!
Oh, whatever!!
**[04:50] ---**
Him again!
**[04:51] ---**
Hey! Thanks to your "kitty kitty"
whatever, now Black Cat is here too!
**[04:56] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[05:01] ---**
Intruders!
Shoot! Shoot!
**[05:06] ---**
*If I don't find Eve
before he does...*
**[05:10] ---**
*he'll definitely kill her!*
**[05:12] ---**
*Black Cat'll definitely
kill her this time!*
**[05:15] ---**
Hey! Hey! I'll leave
Black Cat to you!
**[05:18] ---**
I'll go find the
nanotechnology data!
**[05:20] ---**
Got it.
**[05:22] ---**
Be careful!
**[05:23] ---**
You too!!
**[05:28] ---**
What's going on?
**[05:29] ---**
Torneo-*sama*!
We have intruders!
**[05:31] ---**
Intruders?!
**[05:36] ---**
Black Cat... S-So, this is what
one of Chronos' erasers can do!
**[05:43] ---**
Calm down, Flit. It's just
a stray cat who wandered in!
**[05:49] ---**
Torneo-*sama*...
**[05:51] ---**
Something's going
on in the basement...
**[05:53] ---**
The basement lab!
Check it right away!
**[05:56] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[06:06] ---**
It's so quiet it's
giving me the creeps.
**[06:18] ---**
*Man, I'm pathetic!*
**[06:20] ---**
*He's fighting all those enemies*
**[06:23] ---**
*while breaking
all those security cameras!*
**[06:27] ---**
*On top of that,
he's also looking for Eve's room.*
**[06:31] ---**
*Even still, I'm falling behind
rather than catching up with him!*
**[06:34] ---**
*If I don't do
something, Eve will...*
**[06:40] ---**
*Eve will...*
**[06:43] ---**
*Eve will be...*
**[06:45] ---**
*killed by him!*
**[06:47] ---**
*I can't help it.
I guess I'll use the right eye...*
**[06:54] ---**
Vision Eye!
**[07:02] ---**
I wonder what this
suspicious security lock is for...
**[07:10] ---**
Ta-da! I spent a lot of
money on this special card key,
**[07:15] ---**
so it'd better open it...
**[07:20] ---**
There we go!
**[07:30] ---**
Eve, your prey's here.
**[07:34] ---**
Prey?
**[07:35] ---**
That's right, it's your prey.
**[07:37] ---**
He's an assassin called Black Cat,
**[07:40] ---**
who snuck into my vacation home the other day.
**[07:43] ---**
He's after you.
**[07:45] ---**
But you're it.
**[07:48] ---**
It...
**[07:49] ---**
That's right.
You're it!
**[07:54] ---**
I'm... it.
**[07:58] ---**
You're it...
**[08:00] ---**
It!
**[08:03] ---**
It...
**[08:13] ---**
Understand?
**[08:15] ---**
You're it, so you hunt the prey!
**[08:18] ---**
*Damn Eve!*
**[08:20] ---**
*She's just a bio-weapon, but she's
started developing a sense of self?!*
**[08:26] ---**
Torneo-*sama*!
He'll be here any moment!
**[08:30] ---**
Got that, Eve?! You're it!
You kill the prey!
**[08:39] ---**
This is...
**[08:41] ---**
Who did this?
**[08:48] ---**
"Tips on how to make rolled omelets
without turning it into toxic waste"?
**[08:53] ---**
What the heck is this?
**[08:55] ---**
Tearju Lunatique...
**[08:57] ---**
If I remember correctly,
she's an authority on nanotechnology...
**[09:12] ---**
H-He's approaching Eve's
room at unbelievable speed!
**[09:15] ---**
It's only a matter of time...
**[09:27] ---**
Flit, have the
"NS amplifying oscillator" ready!
**[09:31] ---**
But, that's still not ready yet...
**[09:44] ---**
Yes, sir! Understood!
**[09:51] ---**
All right, I'm ready for you!
**[09:53] ---**
I'll show you what my work on
nanotechnology weapons has produced!
**[10:18] ---**
He's here!
**[10:49] ---**
What is this place?!
It's just like a monster museum!
**[10:55] ---**
Let's see...
**[10:57] ---**
"Nanotechnology composition
through the ingestion of G-cells."
**[11:00] ---**
And, this one says,
"Fusion of cytoskeleton genes
**[11:03] ---**
ingested with OD
weapons and nanotechnology"?
**[11:07] ---**
Looks like they've been doing all
sorts of God-knows-what experiments...
**[11:37] ---**
Well...
**[11:44] ---**
Now, shall we go?
**[11:47] ---**
I promised you...
**[11:49] ---**
that we'll go out for good food, remember?
**[11:58] ---**
It's a piece of candy.
It's sweet, isn't it?
**[12:02] ---**
Do you like it?
**[12:08] ---**
O-Okay, then! Let's go eat
something that tastes better!
**[12:12] ---**
Let me see, hamburger steak...
**[12:17] ---**
You know, we'd better
get out of here soon, otherwise...
**[12:25] ---**
Are you all right?!
Are you all right?!
**[12:33] ---**
Don't scare me like that!
**[12:34] ---**
You have to keep the candy in your
mouth until it becomes smaller, okay?
**[12:42] ---**
Wh-What is it? H-Hey! Hey!
**[12:49] ---**
My handkerchief...
**[12:52] ---**
Ice cream...
**[12:56] ---**
She ate it, and...
**[12:58] ---**
used this... handkerchief...
**[13:01] ---**
to wipe her...
**[13:05] ---**
Oh, no! I don't want you
to use that handkerchief!
**[13:10] ---**
He's here!
**[13:16] ---**
Go, Eve! It's time to play tag!
**[13:21] ---**
Don't, Eve!
**[13:25] ---**
I smell blood...
**[13:29] ---**
I smell blood...
**[13:33] ---**
I smell blood...
**[13:36] ---**
I'm it...
**[13:38] ---**
I'm it...
**[13:41] ---**
I'm it...
**[13:45] ---**
*the ultimate bio-weapon...*
**[13:48] ---**
S-So, this is...
**[13:50] ---**
Now, Eve! Take down
Black Cat immediately!
**[13:54] ---**
You're it!
**[13:56] ---**
I'm it...
**[13:59] ---**
Don't listen to him, Eve!
**[14:01] ---**
You're not it!
**[14:03] ---**
What're you doing?!
Kill Black Cat already!!
**[14:06] ---**
Shut up, Torneo!
I won't let her kill anyone!
**[14:10] ---**
Ha! Looks like a rat
wandered in along with the cat...
**[14:15] ---**
I'm not a rat!
I'm a sweeper!
**[14:19] ---**
Sweeper...
**[14:20] ---**
C'mon, Eve!
Let's go eat good food!
**[14:24] ---**
Good food...
**[14:35] ---**
I can't allow that. I'm sorry,
but I have to kill her...
**[14:39] ---**
Hmph... So you just do
whatever your owner tells you?
**[14:44] ---**
You saw it, right?
She's dangerous.
**[14:47] ---**
You kill dangerous people,
even if they're children, huh?
**[14:51] ---**
Man, Chronos is really...
**[14:53] ---**
disgusting!!
**[14:56] ---**
Let's go!
**[15:01] ---**
Eve, what're you doing?
**[15:03] ---**
Kill Black Cat now!!
**[15:09] ---**
Don't tell me you're
running away with that rat?
**[15:18] ---**
I see...
**[15:21] ---**
Eve!
**[15:23] ---**
Flit!
Yes, sir!
**[15:25] ---**
What're you doing?! Do it!
**[15:27] ---**
B-But...
**[15:39] ---**
Torneo! What're you doing to Eve?!
**[15:43] ---**
That card causes the nanomachines
in Eve's body to go out of control.
**[15:49] ---**
What?!
**[15:58] ---**
Eve! Kill Black Cat!
**[16:03] ---**
Don't, Eve!
**[16:06] ---**
Don't let him get away, Eve!
**[16:14] ---**
Flit, take away his briefcase...
**[16:16] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[16:17] ---**
Since you don't
need it anymore...
**[16:22] ---**
What a brave sweeper you are,
risking your life to come and see Eve...
**[16:26] ---**
What do you want with Eve?
**[16:28] ---**
What are *you* planning
to do with Eve?!
**[16:31] ---**
Oh? That's a silly question...
**[16:34] ---**
Eve is a product of my
research and my property.
**[16:38] ---**
What happens to Eve
is no one's business but mine.
**[16:42] ---**
Eve isn't a human.
She's a "weapon."
**[16:47] ---**
Are you saying that Eve
will become a monster?!
**[16:53] ---**
What're you saying?
**[16:54] ---**
She always has been a monster.
**[16:58] ---**
Now, enough chatter.
**[17:01] ---**
I think it's about time for you to die...
**[17:19] ---**
What are you doing?
**[17:24] ---**
Where... am I?
**[17:28] ---**
What the heck's going on here?!
**[17:30] ---**
What?!
**[17:33] ---**
Now, Rins!!
**[17:34] ---**
What is this?!
**[17:42] ---**
What the heck is going on?!
**[17:43] ---**
No time to explain!
**[17:46] ---**
Eve will... Eve will
become a monster!!
**[17:54] ---**
*Th-This is... Eve?!*
**[18:04] ---**
Stop it, Eve!
**[18:08] ---**
It's no use.
**[18:10] ---**
No matter what you
say to Eve now, she won't hear it.
**[18:14] ---**
No one can stop her
until she kills Black Cat...
**[18:19] ---**
No one can...
**[18:21] ---**
Ha! Even in times like this, a gentleman...
**[18:23] ---**
doesn't give up!!
**[18:27] ---**
What?!
**[18:31] ---**
Wait! What're you gonna do?!
**[18:45] ---**
*Hold on, Eve!*
**[18:48] ---**
*Soon...*
**[18:53] ---**
I'll soon bring you
back to your old self!!
**[19:45] ---**
So, it was a failure...
**[19:48] ---**
Torneo-*sama*!
**[19:51] ---**
The basement lab is...!
**[19:53] ---**
The lab?
**[20:05] ---**
My life... turned to ashes...
**[20:12] ---**
It's dangerous, Torneo-*sama*!
**[20:19] ---**
Did you do that?
**[20:22] ---**
No way...
**[20:23] ---**
When I arrived at the lab,
it was already destroyed...
**[20:27] ---**
Destroyed? Black Cat?
**[20:30] ---**
Maybe...
**[20:32] ---**
But, you were planning
to destroy it, too, right?
**[20:36] ---**
It wasn't for money
this time, right?
**[20:42] ---**
I didn't really mean
to hide it from you, but...
**[20:45] ---**
The place where that military facility
holding nanotechnology collapsed...
**[20:49] ---**
Some time before that incident,
I lived in that area for a little while.
**[20:54] ---**
It was a peaceful
town with pretty flowers...
**[20:59] ---**
I see...
**[20:59] ---**
More importantly,
what're you gonna do with her?
**[21:04] ---**
What?!
**[21:05] ---**
Black Cat!
**[21:06] ---**
Y-You!
**[21:16] ---**
*I don't shoot if I don't wanna shoot...*
**[21:19] ---**
*Yes, that's the right answer!*
**[21:26] ---**
He...
**[21:31] ---**
Train Heartnet...
**[21:33] ---**
Although the event he
staged was a bit flashy,
**[21:36] ---**
apparently he's succeeded.
**[21:39] ---**
It looks like it took
a little longer than usual, too...
**[21:42] ---**
When pursuing a mission, it has to be
carried out efficiently and faithfully...
**[21:46] ---**
Time and effort
should not be wasted.
**[21:49] ---**
Things worked out
all right in the end.
**[21:51] ---**
Everything went well.
That's good enough, isn't it?
**[22:02] ---**
Good evening!
**[22:06] ---**
What?
**[22:07] ---**
Did something good happen?
**[22:10] ---**
Not really...
**[22:11] ---**
I see...
**[22:13] ---**
Oh yeah, I haven't asked
you your name, have I?
**[22:26] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[22:31] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[22:35] ---**
*Please stop time tonight!*
**[22:50] ---**
*Please show yourself*
**[22:52] ---**
*even if just a little*
**[22:56] ---**
*Around the time the first evening star appears,*
**[22:59] ---**
*I hear footsteps approaching*
**[23:02] ---**
*The only time I can see you**
**[23:05] ---**
s when the moon is shining*
**[23:08] ---**
*Please let me dream a little*
**[23:10] ---**
*'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning*
**[23:14] ---**
*Even though I know it, I still feel lonely*
**[23:17] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[23:23] ---**
*You held me in your arms*
**[23:26] ---**
*and your passionate lips met mine*
**[23:29] ---**
*Please don't let go of me*
**[23:32] ---**
*I'm about to melt in your arms*
**[23:35] ---**
*But morning is almost here*
**[23:38] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[23:41] ---**
*I pray to you,*
**[23:44] ---**
*please stop time*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:56] ---**
*All I see and hear is new to me.*
**[24:01] ---**
*But, there seem to be a lot of
difficulties in the outside world, too.*
**[24:05] ---**
*The man who came
to kill me before*
**[24:08] ---**
*said he was going to
leave the organization.*
**[24:11] ---**
*I wonder if it has
something to do with the fact*
**[24:13] ---**
*that he didn't
shoot me that time...*
**[24:16] ---**
*Ah! Ramen!*

**[00:24] ---**
I-Impossible!
**[00:26] ---**
I had almost 50 guards...
and this guy took them all out!
**[00:30] ---**
This is... the power
of Chrono Numbers!
**[00:35] ---**
Leave here before the night is over...
**[00:37] ---**
if you have any desire
to continue living...
**[00:45] ---**
Black Cat is supposed
to be a merciless eraser...
**[00:49] ---**
Why would he...?
**[00:53] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[00:55] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[00:58] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:02] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:18] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:23] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:24] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[01:29] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[01:31] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[01:38] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[01:44] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[01:50] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[01:57] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:03] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[02:23] ---**
"The Departing Cat"
**[02:29] ---**
We found no trace of the target
at Torneo's burned-down mansion.
**[02:33] ---**
It's possible that
the target is still alive.
**[02:36] ---**
Yes... Understood.
**[02:38] ---**
We'll continue to investigate.
**[02:47] ---**
How're you feeling?
**[02:48] ---**
This isn't a hospital,
**[02:50] ---**
so you can't just lie in bed forever!
**[02:52] ---**
Don't say it like that.
**[02:54] ---**
I more or less know the situation,
but you're being too reckless.
**[02:58] ---**
Well, then, I'll
leave the rest to you.
**[02:59] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[03:01] ---**
And, this girl...
**[03:04] ---**
You need to have a good talk about
what you're going to do with her as well.
**[03:09] ---**
Hey, Annette...
**[03:11] ---**
If you find out anything about what
Chronos is up to, please let me know.
**[03:19] ---**
So, what're you
gonna do about her?
**[03:22] ---**
I've thought about it...
**[03:23] ---**
I'm thinking about
taking care of her for a while.
**[03:27] ---**
What? Taking care of her?
Are you serious?
**[03:30] ---**
Well... this isn't something
that I should get worked up about, but...
**[03:33] ---**
It's against my gentleman's code
to turn my back on a little girl.
**[03:38] ---**
And...
**[03:40] ---**
And?
**[03:41] ---**
There's still a possibility
that Chronos is still after Eve...
**[03:46] ---**
That's true...
**[03:50] ---**
Well, in any case, for now
let's rest here for a while.
**[03:55] ---**
I can't even move
until my wound's healed.
**[03:59] ---**
So, I'm counting on
you to take care of me.
**[04:02] ---**
Okay...
**[04:03] ---**
Hey!!
**[04:04] ---**
Why do I have
to take care of you?!
**[04:07] ---**
I wouldn't have gotten hurt in the first
place if you hadn't gotten me involved!
**[04:11] ---**
That's a totally separate matter!
**[04:14] ---**
What's the matter, Eve?
**[04:15] ---**
Are you two close?
**[04:17] ---**
--Huh?
**[04:17] ---**
--Huh?
**[04:17] ---**
What do you mean?
**[04:19] ---**
This book says that "a couple
can fight because they're close."
**[04:24] ---**
Th... "The Bond of Marriage"?!
**[04:26] ---**
Who'd marry a jerk like him?!
**[04:29] ---**
Sven!
**[04:30] ---**
I got some information
from a buddy of mine!
**[04:33] ---**
Just as you thought,
Chronos is on the move.
**[04:37] ---**
So, they're really after Eve...
**[04:41] ---**
Do you want us to leave?
**[04:43] ---**
Don't be so hasty. I haven't
confirmed the info yet.
**[04:47] ---**
Before you rush into things, you've still
got some time to see what they're up to.
**[04:51] ---**
But... if we're here,
you'll be in trouble, too...
**[04:55] ---**
Trouble?
**[04:57] ---**
If you feel that way,
then don't come here in the first place!
**[05:00] ---**
How many years do you
think we've been together?!
**[05:03] ---**
Annette...
**[05:05] ---**
As soon as I find out what
they're up to, I'll let you know.
**[05:08] ---**
So, just sit still here until then.
**[05:11] ---**
Sven, do you like
women like Annette?
**[05:15] ---**
Wha...?
**[05:16] ---**
She was asking how long you
two have been together, so...
**[05:19] ---**
We're not dating!
Who'd date an old woman like that?!
**[05:23] ---**
Who'd you say was
a beautiful old woman?
**[05:28] ---**
I did not say "beautiful"...
**[05:54] ---**
Hello, Train-*kun*!
**[05:57] ---**
If you have that groggy look
on your face, the sun'll laugh at you.
**[06:01] ---**
Like I care...
**[06:04] ---**
The weather is nice
and warm, don'tcha think?
**[06:11] ---**
When the weather's nice,
it makes me feel refreshed, too.
**[06:20] ---**
Hey, can I ask you a question?
**[06:23] ---**
Hmm?
**[06:24] ---**
Why are you working
as a sweeper?
**[06:27] ---**
Is it... fun?
**[06:30] ---**
It's not because it's
fun or anything like that...
**[06:34] ---**
I'm doing it because I wanna do it!
**[06:38] ---**
Yep! I'm just doing it
because I feel it's right.
**[06:45] ---**
Because you feel it's right...
**[07:04] ---**
Belze...
**[07:05] ---**
Report to headquarters right away.
**[07:07] ---**
They want to speak with you.
**[07:17] ---**
No. XIII, you know why
you were called here, right?
**[07:23] ---**
Your mission was to stop and destroy
Torneo's development of nanotechnology
**[07:28] ---**
as well as to eliminate him.
**[07:32] ---**
It seems the elimination of Torneo
**[07:34] ---**
and the destruction of his
facility have been completed,
**[07:36] ---**
but the bio-weapon hasn't
been destroyed yet, correct?
**[07:39] ---**
In the report by
our secret agents,
**[07:41] ---**
there's also information that you
might have let the bio-weapon escape.
**[07:46] ---**
Furthermore, you seem to have
failed to terminate the Cargo gang.
**[07:53] ---**
No. XIII, do you understand
the position you are in?
**[07:59] ---**
You're surely not saying you don't
understand the reason why we made
**[08:04] ---**
an exception and appointed you
as one of the Numbers, are you?
**[08:07] ---**
It was because we acknowledged
your abilities as an eraser
**[08:09] ---**
and your mercilessness that enables you to
kill your enemy without fail, was it not?
**[08:13] ---**
Why do you not use
that power for Chronos?
**[08:17] ---**
No. XIII, I will order you just one
more time to destroy the bio-weapon.
**[08:24] ---**
I will act of my own free will...
in a way that I feel is right.
**[08:29] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[08:30] ---**
Surely you don't mean to say
that you're refusing your mission?!
**[08:34] ---**
You seem to misunderstand, Black Cat.
**[08:39] ---**
You are not allowed
to have things such as freedom.
**[08:42] ---**
You are nothing but our pet cat.
**[08:45] ---**
Know your place, you fool!
**[08:49] ---**
Whether it's a
pet cat or a stray cat...
**[08:52] ---**
a cat acts of its own free will.
**[08:54] ---**
No. XIII... no, Train Heartnet.
**[08:59] ---**
Am I right to take it that you understand
full well
**[09:03] ---**
the meaning of what you just said?
**[09:07] ---**
Yeah...
**[09:15] ---**
Heartnet, hold on.
**[09:18] ---**
It's not too late yet.
**[09:20] ---**
Carry out your mission.
**[09:22] ---**
As I said... I'll act
of my own free will.
**[09:26] ---**
I see... That is a
great disappointment.
**[09:31] ---**
Expect that the next time we meet,
it will become a battlefield.
**[09:42] ---**
No. I, order another member
to destroy the bio-weapon.
**[09:48] ---**
And, take care of Train Heartnet.
**[09:52] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[09:54] ---**
Belze, please continue the
investigation on the bio-weapon.
**[09:59] ---**
Understood.
**[10:01] ---**
So... what are you
going to do with XIII?
**[10:06] ---**
Would you let me handle Train?
**[10:12] ---**
You?
**[10:13] ---**
You shouldn't bother. With your ability,
you'll be beaten at your own game.
**[10:17] ---**
All I have to do
is persuade him, right?
**[10:20] ---**
You are confident?
**[10:21] ---**
I'm Train's partner, you know?
**[10:27] ---**
All right.
**[10:28] ---**
I would like to see things
turn out for the best, too, if possible.
**[10:33] ---**
Creed, I'm giving you an
order to persuade No. XIII.
**[10:38] ---**
As you wish...
**[10:40] ---**
I'll show you that I can
persuade him beautifully...
**[10:46] ---**
I promise it...
**[10:53] ---**
Belze...
**[10:55] ---**
Creed, right?
**[10:57] ---**
Please keep an
eye on him as well.
**[11:00] ---**
That man...
**[11:02] ---**
I see something
dangerous in his eyes...
**[11:04] ---**
Understood.
**[11:26] ---**
Hi, there.
**[11:27] ---**
Creed...
**[11:29] ---**
I was ordered by Chronos
to come and persuade you.
**[11:33] ---**
Persuade?
**[11:35] ---**
You're wasting your time. I have
no intention of going back to Chronos.
**[11:39] ---**
I thought you'd say that.
**[11:41] ---**
How about it?
**[11:43] ---**
Wanna have a match with me?
**[11:45] ---**
You'll regret it.
**[11:48] ---**
Don't be so sure.
**[11:51] ---**
His beloved sword,
his pride and joy...
**[11:53] ---**
*Kotetsu*...
**[11:57] ---**
You won't change your mind?
**[12:11] ---**
Just as I expected, Train!
**[12:13] ---**
Your agility...
**[12:14] ---**
and gun skills...
**[12:15] ---**
You're the best!
**[12:21] ---**
Splendid... You're amazing!!
**[12:24] ---**
I always wanted to
fight you like this once...
**[12:28] ---**
because I wanted to experience
your real ability for myself.
**[12:46] ---**
Oh, Train...
**[12:49] ---**
You're the greatest...
**[12:52] ---**
To think you broke *Kotetsu
*with your orichalcum-made Hades...
**[12:57] ---**
I really do need you!!
**[12:59] ---**
You, son of a bitch!
What the hell are you talking about?!
**[13:02] ---**
I can see it!
**[13:03] ---**
I can see...
the door to tomorrow!
**[13:07] ---**
I can see my bright
future with you!!
**[13:11] ---**
What a wonderful day today is!
**[13:16] ---**
Listen up. From now on,
stay away from me.
**[13:27] ---**
*Train...*
**[13:29] ---**
Creed Diskenth, it seems
that you failed in your mission.
**[13:33] ---**
I'll report to the Numbers.
**[13:35] ---**
Stand by until you
receive further orders.
**[13:38] ---**
I guess it really isn't possible for someone
with your skills to defeat that guy...
**[13:42] ---**
"That guy," you said?!
**[13:45] ---**
You barely even know Train, so don't take
such a casual tone when speaking about him!
**[13:50] ---**
Let him go, Creed!
**[13:54] ---**
Bastard, what did you do?!
**[14:04] ---**
Really... Don't disturb
my moment of bliss...
**[14:08] ---**
Trash like you aren't
worthy of my gaze...
**[14:13] ---**
Train's the only one...
**[14:21] ---**
Continue with your mission.
**[14:27] ---**
What's with that
angry look on your face?
**[14:30] ---**
Mason...
**[14:31] ---**
Oh dear. I guess you always
have an angry look on your face.
**[14:37] ---**
Is it about Black Cat?
**[14:39] ---**
We put Creed in charge,
but apparently he failed.
**[14:43] ---**
Oh? Then, Creed was killed?
**[14:47] ---**
It was three of our
secret agents who were killed.
**[14:49] ---**
We haven't found
Creed's body yet.
**[14:51] ---**
I see... To kill
our secret agents...
**[14:57] ---**
it seems that Black Cat is
serious about going against Chronos...
**[15:00] ---**
No, it wasn't Black Cat
who killed the secret agents.
**[15:05] ---**
It was Creed Diskenth.
**[15:07] ---**
Since all the wounds on their bodies
were caused by a sharp object...
**[15:10] ---**
What?!
Creed betrayed us?!
**[15:13] ---**
I hope it was just betrayal, though...
**[15:17] ---**
I'm thinking about doing a little
investigating together with Nizer.
**[15:20] ---**
Just as we'd expect
from you, Belze...
**[15:23] ---**
*Creed Diskenth...
what're you thinking?*
**[15:31] ---**
Train-*kun*, what's the matter?
You've got an angry look on your face...
**[15:35] ---**
There's something that
I want you to hold on to for me.
**[15:38] ---**
Something you want me
to hold on to for you?
**[15:47] ---**
So, you want me to hold
on to it... Are you sure?
**[15:50] ---**
Yeah. It's something
I don't need at the moment.
**[15:56] ---**
Wow, this is pretty heavy.
**[15:59] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[16:01] ---**
What a gloomy face!
**[16:05] ---**
If your face is
always angry like that,
**[16:06] ---**
you'll have a lot of
wrinkles when you're old.
**[16:09] ---**
W-Wrinkles...
**[16:10] ---**
Oh, get a load
of that worried face!
**[16:12] ---**
That face is pretty funny!
**[16:15] ---**
Mind your own business!
**[16:18] ---**
You're funny, Train-*kun*!
**[16:20] ---**
Funny? Me?!
**[16:22] ---**
Yeah, 'cause your face
shows what you're thinking!
**[16:30] ---**
I won't ask you about it, but it seems
that you've gotten over something.
**[16:36] ---**
You have a softer look in your face
than the last time I saw you.
**[16:42] ---**
That's...
**[16:48] ---**
Damn! What's with that woman?!
**[16:53] ---**
What... what ideas is she sticking
into the head of my precious Train?!
**[16:58] ---**
That damn witch!
**[17:08] ---**
So, they're on the move now.
**[17:09] ---**
Yeah...
**[17:10] ---**
No. XIII and Creed...
**[17:12] ---**
It seems that we need to
cast judgment on both of them.
**[17:16] ---**
I got a report earlier.
**[17:18] ---**
We are close to confirming
the bio-weapon's whereabouts.
**[17:22] ---**
The information says that
some sweepers are sheltering it.
**[17:25] ---**
I see...
**[17:26] ---**
Please continue to investigate and direct our people.
**[17:30] ---**
You are going to see
Black Cat, aren't you?
**[17:34] ---**
Yes...
**[17:36] ---**
Are you saying that you are personally
going to carry out the mission, No. I?
**[17:40] ---**
Regarding XIII's punishment,
I also hold some responsibility, so...
**[17:44] ---**
Do you feel that responsibility as the
Captain of Chrono Numbers, I wonder?
**[17:51] ---**
Well, I guess it doesn't matter...
**[17:59] ---**
*Heartnet...*
**[18:02] ---**
*What changed you?*
**[18:07] ---**
No. XIII, Train Heartnet.
**[18:11] ---**
As proof of your entrance into
Chrono Numbers, I'm granting you this...
**[18:16] ---**
The ornate gun, Hades.
**[18:23] ---**
Let us fight together...
**[18:25] ---**
for Chronos and the
stability of the world...
**[18:36] ---**
Hi there, Train.
**[18:38] ---**
Creed!
**[18:39] ---**
Whoa, don't shoot me outright.
**[18:42] ---**
Shoot you?
I abandoned my gun.
**[18:46] ---**
You can't fool me.
**[18:48] ---**
There's no way that
you can give up your gun.
**[18:54] ---**
Don't tell me you
gave it to that woman!
**[18:56] ---**
It has nothing to do with you.
**[18:59] ---**
It does, a lot, Train.
**[19:01] ---**
You're someone that I need.
**[19:04] ---**
Yes, someone very precious... to me...
**[19:08] ---**
Why don't you come with me?
**[19:09] ---**
Why don't we work together
and start a revolution on this planet?
**[19:13] ---**
What?
**[19:15] ---**
What do you think
about this world?
**[19:18] ---**
As you know,
**[19:20] ---**
one-third of the world economy is being run
through the secret maneuvers of Chronos.
**[19:25] ---**
In other words, one-third of this planet
**[19:28] ---**
belongs to those incompetent elders.
**[19:32] ---**
Don't you find that annoying?
**[19:35] ---**
Don't you feel like you want
to tear down this system, Train?
**[19:41] ---**
You want a free
world, too, don't you?
**[19:44] ---**
Over the past few years, I've
sought out and gathered comrades...
**[19:49] ---**
Comrades to help me
start a revolution...
**[19:52] ---**
Comrades?
**[19:54] ---**
And, I created...
**[19:57] ---**
a team whose fighting ability
is even stronger than the Numbers!!
**[20:01] ---**
Even stronger than the Numbers?!
**[20:03] ---**
That's right!
**[20:05] ---**
And, I need you in that team!
**[20:08] ---**
Let's destroy Chronos
together and start a revolution!
**[20:12] ---**
So, that was your goal...
**[20:16] ---**
Sephiria!
**[20:18] ---**
Heartnet, you remember
what I said before, don't you?
**[20:22] ---**
I said that when we met next time,
it would become a battlefield.
**[20:26] ---**
Whoa there, I want
Chronos to stay out of this.
**[20:30] ---**
I'm having an important
conversation with Train.
**[20:34] ---**
If you get in my way...
**[20:36] ---**
I'll kill you.
**[20:37] ---**
Creed Diskenth...
**[20:44] ---**
It looks like a
festival is about to start...
**[20:46] ---**
A festival of blood, that is!
**[20:51] ---**
Train, let's you and me make this woman
a sacrifice for this festival of blood!
**[20:56] ---**
Silence!
**[20:58] ---**
So, you are leaving Chronos
no matter what, Heartnet?
**[21:02] ---**
I'll no longer
follow anyone's order.
**[21:05] ---**
I'm sorry to hear that...
**[21:07] ---**
A soft group like Chronos
doesn't deserve Train.
**[21:11] ---**
Creed, you should know
the fate of a traitor.
**[21:17] ---**
When a tarnished mind gains power,
he becomes like you...
**[21:21] ---**
Whoa, that's not a
very nice thing to say.
**[21:23] ---**
Is it really that
bad to live freely?
**[21:29] ---**
You don't want freedom?
**[21:31] ---**
Chronos fights for freedom.
**[21:34] ---**
However, members of Chronos
are not allowed to have freedom,
**[21:38] ---**
because...
**[21:41] ---**
we members have power!
**[21:44] ---**
If those with power
act however they please,
**[21:46] ---**
the world will be
in a state of disorder.
**[21:50] ---**
This is the last time, Heartnet.
**[21:53] ---**
Obey Chronos.
**[21:56] ---**
I won't... go back.
**[22:02] ---**
I'll punish those
who betray Chronos,
**[22:04] ---**
using this Christ Sword!
**[22:08] ---**
So she's serious...
**[22:10] ---**
Train, go ahead
and pull out your Hades!
**[22:26] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[22:31] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[22:35] ---**
*Please stop time tonight!*
**[22:50] ---**
*Please show yourself*
**[22:52] ---**

**[22:56] ---**
*Around the time the first evening star appears,*
**[22:58] ---**
*I hear footsteps approaching*
**[23:01] ---**

s when the moon is shining*
**[23:07] ---**
*Please let me dream a little*
**[23:10] ---**
*'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning*
**[23:14] ---**
*Even though I know it, I still feel lonely*
**[23:17] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[23:23] ---**
*You held me in your arms*
**[23:26] ---**
*and your passionate lips met mine*
**[23:29] ---**
*Please don't let go of me*
**[23:32] ---**
*I'm about to melt in your arms*
**[23:35] ---**
*But morning is almost here*
**[23:38] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[23:41] ---**
*I pray to you,*
**[23:43] ---**
*please stop time*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:56] ---**
*Hi! Saya here.*
**[23:57] ---**
*I didn't feel like going to bed for
some reason, so I came up to the rooftop.*
**[24:01] ---**
*But, it looks like
Train-kun isn't around tonight.*
**[24:04] ---**
*The moon is so beautiful;
it's too bad he's missing it.*
**[24:07] ---**
*There's nothing like knocking back some milk*
**[24:10] ---**
*with the moonlight shining down on us...*
**[24:13] ---**
*Saying all this is
making me really thirsty.*
**[24:16] ---**
*Ohhh, I wanna drink some milk!*

**[00:17] ---**
Either you stay
in Chronos or you die...
**[00:21] ---**
Choose one.
**[00:23] ---**
I don't like either.
**[00:25] ---**
Heartnet!
**[00:27] ---**
Go ahead and shoot
that bitch, Train.
**[00:32] ---**
I don't wanna kill or be killed.
**[00:36] ---**
Then, I have no choice.
**[00:45] ---**
I won't let you get away!
**[00:51] ---**
What's the matter?
**[00:52] ---**
Train, why don't you shoot?
**[00:55] ---**
If you don't shoot, then...
**[00:57] ---**
Your opponents are right here!
**[01:00] ---**
Creed Diskenth!
**[01:02] ---**
We're taking you into custody
for treason against Chronos!
**[01:06] ---**
Come quietly.
You can't escape from us.
**[01:13] ---**
You're taking me?
**[01:15] ---**
That's a laugh.
**[01:17] ---**
Are you insulting the Numbers?!
**[01:20] ---**
Do you seriously think there's
no one stronger than the Numbers?
**[01:27] ---**
I guess an old
organization really is hopeless.
**[01:29] ---**
Enough of your impertinence!
**[01:31] ---**
Let's go, Ash!
**[01:32] ---**
Yeah!
**[01:35] ---**

Did you abandon your gun, Heartnet?!
**[03:38] ---**
I won't carry a gun anymore.
**[03:41] ---**
The Numbers' weapons are
something used for saving the world.
**[03:45] ---**
While you're filled
with such self-righteousness,
**[03:48] ---**
how many people's blood do you think
is being spilt in this world we live in?!
**[03:51] ---**
Is it okay to kill
people if it's for justice?
**[03:55] ---**
Heartnet...
**[03:57] ---**
Leave me alone!
**[03:59] ---**
You are wrong!!
**[04:15] ---**
*Heartnet!*
**[04:21] ---**
You can't even graze me
with attacks like that.
**[04:25] ---**
You won't be laughing for long!
**[04:43] ---**
What?!
**[04:46] ---**
I see... You made
me draw my *Kotetsu*...
**[04:50] ---**
I guess I have to say,
"as expected from the Numbers..."
**[05:13] ---**
I guess you won't forgive me
even though I abandoned my gun...
**[05:17] ---**
You have power...
**[05:19] ---**
Even if you abandoned your gun,
being drawn by that power,
**[05:22] ---**
people like Creed will
probably flock towards you.
**[05:26] ---**
You'll definitely
become a threat to Chronos.
**[05:29] ---**
Those who leave Chronos will be dealt with
by Chronos... That is the code of Chronos.
**[05:35] ---**
Chronos, Chronos...
**[05:37] ---**
What the hell is Chronos to you?
**[05:48] ---**
I believe...
**[05:51] ---**
in Chronos' ideal of
righting this troubled world.
**[05:55] ---**
And, I decided that until that ideal is realized,
**[05:58] ---**
I'd abandon my human heart.
**[06:03] ---**
Don't you get tired
from always being like that?
**[06:06] ---**
Realize your mistake!
**[06:12] ---**
Come back to Chronos!
**[06:23] ---**
I have no choice...
**[06:28] ---**
Ash!
**[06:31] ---**
Y-You bastard!!
**[06:33] ---**
That uncanny
technique is... from Itairiku...
**[06:39] ---**
That's none of your business.
**[06:43] ---**
How dare you kill my partner?!
**[06:46] ---**
That incompetent
moron was your partner?
**[06:49] ---**
A partner is someone
like what Train is to me,
**[06:52] ---**
and what I am to Train!
**[06:54] ---**
Now, if you don't
wanna die, beg for your life.
**[06:59] ---**
Oh? You're not gonna beg?
**[07:02] ---**
Then, I have no choice.
**[07:04] ---**
You think you've concealed
the distance with an invisible blade?!
**[07:07] ---**
With blood covering the blade,
**[07:09] ---**
the tip of your sword
is in plain sight!
**[07:11] ---**
The distance?!
The tip of my sword?!
**[07:13] ---**
Such things don't matter to me.
**[07:26] ---**
Don't worry.
**[07:29] ---**
I didn't aim for your vitals.
**[07:31] ---**
D-Damn!
**[07:33] ---**
Why were we taken
out by a lowly eraser?
**[07:37] ---**
Go back and tell
those cowardly elders...
**[07:41] ---**
that it's all over for Chronos.
**[07:47] ---**
Keep this in mind.
Times have changed.
**[07:53] ---**
And, Train isn't a member
of the Numbers any more.
**[07:58] ---**
He's my partner.
**[08:21] ---**
Sorry, but you're coming
with me, Train Heartnet.
**[08:25] ---**
What?!
**[08:27] ---**
Who are you?!
**[08:29] ---**
My name is Shiki.
**[08:30] ---**
I'm a Taoist.
**[08:32] ---**
A Taoist?! So,
you people survived!
**[08:37] ---**
It'll take more than
Chronos to eradicate us.
**[08:40] ---**
Let me show you the Tao's power!
**[08:44] ---**
*Mudeka*!
**[08:45] ---**
Take this! Borer Poison's Curse!
**[08:56] ---**
Now, Train Heartnet.
Come with me.
**[08:59] ---**
Creed is waiting for you.
**[09:01] ---**
Creed?!
**[09:03] ---**
What's Creed planning?!
**[09:04] ---**
I don't have to explain it
to one of Chronos' dogs!
**[09:08] ---**
Train's the one
we want to talk to...
**[09:24] ---**
What?! What happened?!
**[09:29] ---**
Damn!
**[09:31] ---**
Train's...!
**[09:37] ---**
Nguita-no-gonai,
nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai...
**[09:39] ---**
Nguita-no-gonai,
nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai!
**[09:41] ---**
Nguita-no-gonai,
nguita-no-gonai, nguita-no-gonai!!
**[09:49] ---**
Take this! Curse of Flying Locusts!
**[09:57] ---**
That damn Creed!
When did he find an ally like that?
**[10:01] ---**
It looks like he's up to something...
**[10:05] ---**
I'm concerned about Creed's actions.
**[10:08] ---**
Right now, he's our priority.
**[10:11] ---**
Well, I think we can let
XIII be free for a while.
**[10:41] ---**
Hey, what are you
running so frantically for?
**[10:44] ---**
And, what's more,
your face is as black as coal.
**[10:46] ---**
Oh, I got it. You're jogging!
**[10:49] ---**
Of course not!
**[10:50] ---**
You can run pretty fast.
**[10:52] ---**
But I can run faster!
**[10:55] ---**
Do you admit defeat?
**[11:01] ---**
He's pretty good. Then, I guess
it's time for me to get serious!
**[11:06] ---**
I'll go on ahead!
**[11:09] ---**
That's nothing!
**[11:13] ---**
Ouch!
**[11:14] ---**
Oops!
**[11:16] ---**
I'll go on ahead!
**[11:17] ---**
Ta-da!
**[11:31] ---**
What're you
busting your butt for?!
**[11:33] ---**
Nothing.
**[11:35] ---**
Watching you made me
want to run, that's all!
**[11:44] ---**
Here you go!
You must be thirsty!
**[11:47] ---**
I don't need it!
**[11:48] ---**
A bottle of milk after a run
tastes good too, you know...
**[11:56] ---**
Ah! That really hits the spot!
**[12:02] ---**
It tastes good, doesn't it?
**[12:04] ---**
It tastes like it always does.
**[12:06] ---**
You're as unfriendly as always.
**[12:08] ---**
Wait a second, why are
you in my apartment?!
**[12:12] ---**
You made me run so much,
**[12:14] ---**
so let me take a break here.
**[12:16] ---**
You're the one who
followed me on your own!
**[12:19] ---**
No, no, no...
You don't understand.
**[12:22] ---**
When you enjoy something,
you should share it with a friend.
**[12:25] ---**
So, lemon soda!
**[12:27] ---**
Huh?
**[12:28] ---**
You'll treat me to lemon soda!
**[12:31] ---**
I don't quite get
what you're saying...
**[12:33] ---**
There'll be a carnival
at the harbor tomorrow!
**[12:36] ---**
A celebration that
happens once a year!
**[12:39] ---**
The fireworks at the climax
of the festival are super famous.
**[12:41] ---**
To tell you the truth, it's like I
moved to this town for those fireworks.
**[12:46] ---**
While watching huge
fireworks exploding with a bang,
**[12:49] ---**
you take a swig
of very cold lemon soda.
**[12:52] ---**
That's the best part
of watching fireworks!
**[12:55] ---**
What's that got to do with me?
**[12:58] ---**
Obviously, I'm inviting my only
friend in this town, you, Train-*kun*,
**[13:01] ---**
to the fireworks display!
**[13:05] ---**
I'm tellin' ya,
**[13:06] ---**
it's definitely more fun to watch it
with someone else, rather than by yourself!
**[13:09] ---**
Even so, why do I have
to treat you to lemon soda?
**[13:12] ---**
It was you who lost, right, Train-*kun*?
**[13:15] ---**
I lost?
**[13:16] ---**
The footrace!
**[13:17] ---**
The number of times
you passed me was 63 times.
**[13:22] ---**
The number of times
I passed you was 64 times.
**[13:26] ---**
Therefore, I won!
**[13:28] ---**
So, lemon soda! Okay?!
**[13:38] ---**
All right, I guess...
**[13:39] ---**
Yaay! Lemon soda! Lemon Soda!
**[13:43] ---**
It doesn't take
much to please you...
**[13:46] ---**
Happiness isn't money.
**[13:48] ---**
It's the free time that
you spend with your friends...
**[13:50] ---**
Something like that...
**[13:52] ---**
Also...
**[13:54] ---**
I think you should
keep this with you.
**[13:56] ---**
Why are you telling me this now?
**[13:58] ---**
You'll be living on
your own from now on.
**[14:01] ---**
So, you'll have
to protect yourself!
**[14:04] ---**
And your loved ones, too.
**[14:07] ---**
I don't have anyone like that.
**[14:08] ---**
Don't act so tough!
**[14:10] ---**
Everyone makes an important
friend or two during their lives, right?
**[14:15] ---**
Well, then...
**[14:17] ---**
Are you leaving?
**[14:19] ---**
Are you asking me
to stay overnight?
**[14:22] ---**
No way!
**[14:24] ---**
You'd better hurry up
and move out of this place.
**[14:28] ---**
Apparently, you're popular, so...
**[14:32] ---**
Well, then, I'll meet you
at the pier tomorrow evening.
**[14:34] ---**
I'll find the best spot
for watching the fireworks display.
**[14:41] ---**
Stop it! It's no use.
**[14:42] ---**
What?
**[14:44] ---**
I'm saying it's no use!
**[14:46] ---**
Why?! You told me
to bring him earlier, and...
**[14:49] ---**
Right, but I'm telling you,
it's no use for now...
**[14:55] ---**
while he's being
deluded by that woman...
**[15:00] ---**
By... that witch!
**[15:11] ---**
Eve!
**[15:14] ---**
Is it interesting?
**[15:16] ---**
That "101 Wild Elephants on the Stampede!" book...
**[15:23] ---**
What's that?
**[15:25] ---**
It means that there's
going to be fireworks.
**[15:28] ---**
Fireworks...
**[15:30] ---**
Well, you know...
**[15:32] ---**
Fireworks are shot into the air,
**[15:36] ---**
there's a 'kaboom' noise...
**[15:39] ---**
and the night sky becomes bright.
**[15:42] ---**
Are they weapons?
**[15:43] ---**
Whoa!
**[15:44] ---**
No, they aren't...
**[15:46] ---**
Well, you know...
**[15:48] ---**
They're exploding art.
**[15:51] ---**
They're pretty.
**[15:52] ---**
Colorful lights spread
out in a round shape, and...
**[15:57] ---**
I wanna see them...
**[15:59] ---**
Huh?
**[16:00] ---**
I wanna see...
**[16:01] ---**
a fireworks display...
**[16:02] ---**
That wouldn't be good.
**[16:04] ---**
If the people who're after
us find us or something...
**[16:08] ---**
Looks like they've
already found us.
**[16:10] ---**
I don't know them.
**[16:11] ---**
A man and a woman with a child
should be staying at your place.
**[16:15] ---**
It's in your best
interest to tell us the truth.
**[16:17] ---**
Why don't you suit
yourself and search the house?
**[16:19] ---**
The guest room is upstairs.
**[16:27] ---**
This way!
**[17:04] ---**
Well...
**[17:06] ---**
I wonder if this isn't a very
good match for fireworks...
**[17:10] ---**
Oh, well!
**[17:14] ---**
Hmm, I might have come too early...
**[17:28] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[17:34] ---**
All right!
**[17:41] ---**
Thank you!
**[17:43] ---**
Okay, then... I promised
to meet someone, so...
**[17:47] ---**
A promise...
with your boyfriend?
**[17:50] ---**
With my friend!
**[17:59] ---**
Let's see...
**[18:01] ---**
The fireworks will go
up from that area, so...
**[18:08] ---**
they'll go kaboom around here.
**[18:11] ---**
Yep! This place may actually
be a nice little unknown spot.
**[18:17] ---**
I hope my lemon
soda comes soon...
**[18:23] ---**
Who...
**[18:25] ---**
are you?
**[18:26] ---**
Oh, I see!
**[18:28] ---**
You're a friend
of Train-*kun's*, right?!
**[18:31] ---**
Me, too!
**[18:33] ---**
That's great!
**[18:35] ---**
Thanks to you, Train-*kun
*has become quite cheerful...
**[18:39] ---**
You've got an invisible sword?
**[18:42] ---**
That's a rare technique you use...
**[18:45] ---**
Living a free and easy life...
**[18:49] ---**
What's wrong with it?
**[18:51] ---**
Wh-Why don't you...
**[18:53] ---**
let Train-*kun*... have... his own way?
**[18:57] ---**
Yaay!
**[18:59] ---**
Missing Line
**[19:00] ---**
Missing Line
**[19:04] ---**
Wait! Don't harm the children!
**[19:09] ---**
Darn! I can't... move my body...
**[19:15] ---**
If I can just... move my arm...
**[19:35] ---**
G-Get out of here! Now!!
**[19:42] ---**
Don't underestimate me...
**[19:44] ---**
I'm not working alone
as a sweeper for nothing.
**[19:57] ---**
*He's walking!*
**[19:58] ---**
*But my "Reflect Shot"
was perfect! It hit his leg!*
**[20:12] ---**
*To My Dear Friend Train,*
**[20:16] ---**
*I'll release you from
that witch's spell tonight.*
**[20:24] ---**
This way!
**[20:26] ---**
The lady...
**[20:27] ---**
The lady in the *yukata* was...
**[20:34] ---**
Lady...
**[20:35] ---**
Hi, Train!
You can rest easy now.
**[20:39] ---**
I've just taken care of the
witch who's been deluding you.
**[20:44] ---**
Now, you can join me...
**[20:53] ---**
Train-*kun*...
**[20:55] ---**
Don't talk.
**[20:58] ---**
Are the children...?
**[21:01] ---**
Don't worry. They're all right.
**[21:04] ---**
I really screwed up.
**[21:08] ---**
Forget that, just don't talk!
**[21:11] ---**
So you brought it with you...
**[21:15] ---**
Don't ever give it up, okay?
**[21:19] ---**
I'm sure you'll be able to use
it for the right reasons, so...
**[21:25] ---**
I-Idiot! Don't say things
that sound like parting words!
**[21:29] ---**
I wanted to drink... lemon soda...
**[21:41] ---**
Fireworks...
**[21:43] ---**
They're pretty...
**[21:49] ---**
Saya...
**[21:52] ---**
So, the witch who was
leading you astray died, huh?
**[21:59] ---**
Now release yourself
from that witch's spell
**[22:02] ---**
and go back to
being the old Train!
**[22:04] ---**
Bastard...
**[22:07] ---**
You bastard...
**[22:09] ---**
You bastard, I'll make you pay for this!!
**[22:13] ---**
Train!
**[22:15] ---**
You still haven't awakened yet?
**[22:18] ---**
I swear I'll make you pay for this!!
**[22:29] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[22:35] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[22:39] ---**
*Please stop time tonight!*
**[22:53] ---**
*Please show yourself*
**[22:56] ---**
*even if just a little*
**[22:59] ---**
*Around the time the first evening star appears,*
**[23:02] ---**
*I hear footsteps approaching*
**[23:05] ---**
*The only time I can see you**
**[23:08] ---**
s when the moon is shining*
**[23:11] ---**
*Please let me dream a little*
**[23:14] ---**
*'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning*
**[23:17] ---**
*Even though I know it, I still feel lonely*
**[23:21] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[23:26] ---**
*You held me in your arms*
**[23:29] ---**
*and your passionate lips met mine*
**[23:32] ---**
*Please don't let go of me*
**[23:35] ---**
*I'm about to melt in your arms*
**[23:39] ---**
*But morning is almost here*
**[23:42] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[23:45] ---**
*I pray to you,*
**[23:47] ---**
*please stop time*
**[23:59] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[24:00] ---**
*This is Eve.*
**[24:01] ---**
*I'm at the fireworks
display right now.*
**[24:05] ---**
*Sven says they're very pretty,*
**[24:08] ---**
*but I've been having this
uneasy feeling for a little while now...*
**[24:11] ---**
*The smell of something...*
**[24:12] ---**
*Yes... It's the smell of blood...*
**[24:16] ---**
*That man... It seems
like Black Cat is nearby...*
**[24:21] ---**

**[24:22] ---**

**[00:29] ---**
Here...
**[00:30] ---**
Get on my shoulders.
**[00:32] ---**
Oof.
**[00:48] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[00:51] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[00:54] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[00:57] ---**

*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*

"The Wounded Cat"
**[02:23] ---**
You bastard, I'll make
you pay for this!!
**[02:25] ---**
Train... you still don't get it?
**[02:29] ---**
That woman was a witch
who was leading you astray.
**[02:32] ---**
You bastard...
**[02:35] ---**
I swear I'll make you pay for this!!
**[02:47] ---**
That look!
**[02:49] ---**
That look in your eyes!
**[03:14] ---**
So what do you think?
Aren't they pretty?
**[03:18] ---**
It looks as if flowers
are blossoming in the sky.
**[03:21] ---**
*Tamaya*!!
**[03:23] ---**
What's that?
**[03:24] ---**
That's what you say
when fireworks are going off.
**[03:31] ---**
*Tagaya*!!
**[03:33] ---**
That's a *Rakugo* comedy!
**[03:43] ---**
*Tamaya*!!
**[03:45] ---**
No!
**[03:47] ---**
Hey, it's not "no,"
it's "*Tamaya,*" right?
**[03:52] ---**
What's the matter?
**[03:53] ---**
The smell... of blood...
**[03:56] ---**
Huh?
**[03:57] ---**
I'm going...
**[03:58] ---**
Where to?
**[03:59] ---**
The sea...
**[04:00] ---**
Th-The sea?!
**[04:01] ---**
That way...
**[04:02] ---**
That way? Umm...
**[04:03] ---**
Hurry up!
**[04:04] ---**
Uhh... Okay, okay!
**[04:13] ---**
The fireworks are
pretty, aren't they?!
**[04:18] ---**
Oh? What's the matter?
**[04:20] ---**
You're crying...
**[04:25] ---**
You really are funny, Train-*kun*!
**[04:29] ---**
Oh? Me, too...
**[04:32] ---**
It can't be helped, right?
**[04:33] ---**
'Cause fireworks are so pretty!
**[04:37] ---**
See? Isn't this pretty?
**[04:40] ---**
Don't worry...
**[04:41] ---**
Your eyes are...
**[04:43] ---**
as pretty as fireworks...
**[05:04] ---**
You're... Torneo's...
**[05:13] ---**
It's not "he came to life,"
it's "he came to," right, Eve?
**[05:19] ---**
Hey! How're you feeling?
**[05:22] ---**
You're that sweeper...
**[05:23] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[05:25] ---**
This is my house...
or rather, it's my hideout.
**[05:27] ---**
Hideout?
**[05:29] ---**
What a shock that was!
**[05:30] ---**
When we went to the pier like Eve suggested,
**[05:32] ---**
we saw a tanker in flames...
**[05:40] ---**
Hey! Don't get close!
**[05:42] ---**
Eve! It's dangerous!
**[05:45] ---**
*I smell blood...*
**[05:47] ---**
Ow, ow! Eve! If we go any
further, we could really get hurt!
**[05:51] ---**
That way...
**[05:54] ---**
How far are you gonna go, Eve?!
**[05:58] ---**
There he is!
**[06:05] ---**
So, after this and that,
**[06:07] ---**
we rescued you from the flames of the exploding tanker.
**[06:11] ---**
Be thankful.
**[06:13] ---**
Exploding...
**[06:15] ---**
Where's Saya?!
**[06:17] ---**
Saya?
**[06:17] ---**
She was wearing a *yukata*!
**[06:19] ---**
*Yukata*?
**[06:20] ---**
We didn't see her.
**[06:23] ---**
Was she with you?
**[06:28] ---**
I'm sorry, but either way, I don't
think she'd survive in that explosion.
**[06:34] ---**
How long... was I asleep?
**[06:37] ---**
A week.
**[06:40] ---**
A week...
**[06:44] ---**
But I changed my mind about you.
**[06:46] ---**
After all, in the middle of all that,
you protected those kids to the end.
**[06:49] ---**
That's not something
just anyone could do.
**[06:52] ---**
Kids?
**[06:53] ---**
Don't worry. I heard that
all three of them are just fine.
**[06:57] ---**
I don't remember.
**[07:03] ---**
You're hungry, aren't you?
**[07:06] ---**
Now, don't hold back!
Eat to your heart's content!
**[07:10] ---**
What's the matter? If you
don't eat, you won't get better.
**[07:14] ---**
Where's my gun?
**[07:17] ---**
Eve, give it to him.
**[07:21] ---**
He still smells of blood...
**[07:30] ---**
Please give this to the man in
black and say, "thanks for saving us!"
**[07:35] ---**
So, I'll give this to you.
**[07:38] ---**
But I won't give
you the gun back.
**[07:52] ---**
Well, we all ended up living under
the same roof. This must be fate.
**[07:56] ---**
In any case,
why don't we be friends?
**[08:09] ---**
Don't be so edgy.
**[08:12] ---**
He's an injured man.
**[08:13] ---**
Be nice to him, at
least until he gets better.
**[08:18] ---**
But he's...
**[08:20] ---**
An assassin, you mean?
**[08:24] ---**
But he didn't shoot you.
**[08:30] ---**
So, his gun...
**[08:32] ---**
give it back to him, will you?
**[08:38] ---**
Anyway, these days you've
always got your nose in a book...
**[08:42] ---**
I want to know...
**[08:44] ---**
You want to know...
about what?
**[08:47] ---**
A lot of things...
**[08:48] ---**
A lot of things?
**[08:50] ---**
Because I had been
taught only one thing...
**[08:54] ---**
I see...
**[08:59] ---**
So, what have you learned?
**[09:02] ---**
Let's see, "A Guide to Martial Arts"
and "Three Minute Cooking"...
**[09:06] ---**
"Cherry Blossom Viewing from
A Row House" and "Camels' Humps"...
**[09:10] ---**
"*Tagaya*"!
**[09:12] ---**
And, what you're
perusing right now is...
**[09:15] ---**
Aesop...
**[09:17] ---**
Aesop?
**[09:18] ---**
It's a fable.
Annette gave it to me.
**[09:22] ---**
That's a mean-looking cat.
**[09:24] ---**
It's a story about putting
a bell on a bad cat's neck.
**[09:28] ---**
A bell... on a cat's neck?
**[09:31] ---**
Right. They put a bell
on a bad cat's neck.
**[09:51] ---**
Well, then, I'm going
grocery shopping for dinner,
**[09:53] ---**
so, stay home with him.
**[09:56] ---**
Hey, don't give me that look.
**[09:58] ---**
We can't go leaving
an injured man alone, right?
**[10:00] ---**
I'll get you something.
What do you want?
**[10:03] ---**
A book!
**[10:24] ---**
It's from the guest over there.
**[10:26] ---**
Oh?
**[10:28] ---**
The name of this cocktail is "Fate."
**[10:31] ---**
It's a suitable name
for our meeting...
**[10:33] ---**
Don't you think?
**[10:35] ---**
Yeah...
**[10:36] ---**
You have beautiful eyes...
**[10:39] ---**
To your beautiful eyes!
**[10:42] ---**
Jenos-*sama*...
**[10:46] ---**
Belze is...?
**[10:48] ---**
I'm sorry, but I have to go.
**[10:51] ---**
My name?
**[10:54] ---**
Ask the god of "Fate"
who brought you and I together...
**[11:00] ---**
Who's going to
pay for this "Fate"?
**[11:22] ---**
Welcome!
**[11:24] ---**
Coffee... Make it hot and strong,
like you'd get at a mountain cottage...
**[11:28] ---**
Okay, and put it on
your tab as usual, right?
**[11:32] ---**
That's right...
**[11:33] ---**
Wha...?! How?!
**[11:40] ---**
So, what's Rins up to?
**[11:42] ---**
She left town.
She said that she got a job.
**[11:45] ---**
She told me she'd make
a lot of money this time.
**[11:48] ---**
Good to hear that she's all right.
**[11:50] ---**
Yeah...
**[11:52] ---**
Anyway, about that
explosion at the pier the other day...
**[11:56] ---**
Oh, the one on the
night of the festival...
**[11:58] ---**
Have you heard
anything about it?
**[12:00] ---**
According to the
official announcement,
**[12:02] ---**
fireworks supposedly caused
the tanker to catch fire, but...
**[12:07] ---**
But the truth is?
**[12:09] ---**
I don't know.
**[12:10] ---**
I heard that three kids were caught
in the explosion and got light burns,
**[12:15] ---**
but they seem
to remember nothing...
**[12:18] ---**
Nothing?
**[12:20] ---**
Listen, I don't want you to
mention the man in black to anyone.
**[12:25] ---**
Got it!
**[12:25] ---**
I won't tell anyone!
**[12:27] ---**
Me neither!
**[12:28] ---**
I see... That's good...
**[12:31] ---**
You look like
you know something.
**[12:33] ---**
Not really...
**[12:36] ---**
Oh well...
**[12:37] ---**
Anyway, where's Eve?
**[12:39] ---**
Yeah, she's reading
picture books at my hideout.
**[12:42] ---**
Sounds like she's doing fine.
**[12:44] ---**
Yeah, thanks.
**[12:46] ---**
But don't let your guard down.
**[12:48] ---**
I heard that Chronos guys
are snooping around everywhere.
**[12:52] ---**
Man, those guys
sure are persistent...
**[12:56] ---**
Ouch!
**[12:57] ---**
Ow, ow, ouch!!
**[13:00] ---**
Torneo's bio-weapon?
**[13:03] ---**
It was No. XIII's mission,
but I want you to take it over.
**[13:08] ---**
Don't tell me Black Cat failed...
**[13:11] ---**
He left Chronos and disappeared.
**[13:15] ---**
There was a report that he
died in that explosion at the pier,
**[13:18] ---**
but I wouldn't count on it.
**[13:19] ---**
I see...
**[13:21] ---**
Will you take this job?
**[13:26] ---**
Thanks.
**[13:28] ---**
So, why did Black Cat
leave Chronos?
**[13:32] ---**
You don't have to know.
**[13:34] ---**
If you find him, I'll leave
the matter up to you.
**[13:40] ---**
What a bad road!
**[13:42] ---**
Please be patient.
**[13:44] ---**
I've got information
**[13:45] ---**
that the bio-weapon was definitely
brought to somewhere around here.
**[13:50] ---**
Why do you keep fighting?!
**[13:54] ---**
I myself don't know why,
**[13:55] ---**
but once we get in a robot,
we have no choice but to fight, right?!
**[13:58] ---**
Yeah, it's true that when
we, children, get in a robot,
**[14:00] ---**
we all become war
victims for some reason!!
**[14:04] ---**
Move.
**[14:06] ---**
I can't see the TV!
**[14:10] ---**
I'm going to...
**[14:11] ---**
put a bell...
**[14:12] ---**
Huh?
**[14:14] ---**
I'm going to put a
bell on a bad cat's neck
**[14:18] ---**
so that he won't
be dangerous anymore...
**[14:21] ---**
This is why I say
the federation military is...!
**[14:24] ---**
I don't understand
what you're saying at all!
**[14:28] ---**
Why are things
turning out like this?!
**[14:30] ---**
This is what war is!!
**[14:32] ---**
Giga-ton Punch!
**[14:39] ---**
How can you say
"put a bell on a bad cat"?
**[14:42] ---**
You tried to kill me, too.
**[14:49] ---**
You're an assassin, too.
**[15:00] ---**
I don't wanna wage
war in a robot any more!!
**[15:13] ---**
I'm home!
**[15:14] ---**
Eve, I bought a book for you.
"Art of Calligraphy is the Stray"...
**[15:19] ---**
Hey, where did Eve go?
**[15:23] ---**
What?!
**[15:24] ---**
Idiot!
**[15:27] ---**
That's her...
**[15:28] ---**
What?
**[15:30] ---**
Are you saying that little lady is the
bio-weapon that Torneo developed?
**[15:34] ---**
Yes. It's no mistake.
**[15:44] ---**
I don't know
what happened to you.
**[15:46] ---**
If you don't open up
to us, that's okay, too.
**[15:49] ---**
But, it was Eve who found
you at that explosion site,
**[15:53] ---**
and who looked after you all that
time you were in bed for a week.
**[15:58] ---**
Listen up. If you say
something to hurt her again,
**[16:01] ---**
I'll make you pay for it,
even if you're injured.
**[16:14] ---**
You're an assassin, too.
**[16:22] ---**
Good evening...
**[16:25] ---**
mademoiselle.
**[16:27] ---**
Hey! Where are you?! Eve!!
**[16:33] ---**
What's your name, mademoiselle?
**[16:39] ---**
Now, now, what are
you backing away for?
**[16:43] ---**
Did you come to capture me?
**[16:46] ---**
No. I came to escort you.
**[16:53] ---**
Jenos-*sama*,
please be careful.
**[16:56] ---**
She's a monster.
**[16:58] ---**
Watch what you say.
**[17:01] ---**
It's rude to the lady.
**[17:03] ---**
Now...
**[17:05] ---**
Let's go...
**[17:08] ---**
mademoiselle.
**[17:09] ---**
I'm not... going...
**[17:12] ---**
What a dilemma. I promised
that I'd bring you with me...
**[17:16] ---**
No...
**[17:17] ---**
Please...
Come with me...
**[17:25] ---**
You're it.
**[17:27] ---**
You're an assassin, too.
**[17:29] ---**
No!!!
**[17:30] ---**
Whoa!
**[17:33] ---**
So, that's the power
of nanomachines!
**[17:40] ---**
You damn monster!
**[17:42] ---**
Game over, mademoiselle!
**[17:49] ---**
I'm sorry for
getting rough with you.
**[17:52] ---**
If you come with
me without a fight,
**[17:55] ---**
I'll make it so that
the pain won't be any worse.
**[17:59] ---**
No!!
**[18:05] ---**
This thread is made of orichalcum.
**[18:11] ---**
Now, please...
Say you'll come with me...
**[18:15] ---**
Or else...
**[18:20] ---**
N-No!
**[18:25] ---**
Ouch!!
**[18:29] ---**
A bell?
**[18:31] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[18:44] ---**
What a surprise!
**[18:46] ---**
I never thought I'd be able to
see Black Cat in a place like this.
**[18:49] ---**
You must be one
of the Numbers...
**[18:52] ---**
That's right! I'm No. VII,
Jenos Hazard.
**[18:57] ---**
Never heard of you...
**[18:59] ---**
Just as expected of No. XIII,
the bringer of bad luck,
**[19:02] ---**
You keep your cool!
**[19:05] ---**
I'm no longer
one of the Numbers!
**[19:08] ---**
I'm a stray cat
who does as he pleases!
**[19:11] ---**
A stray cat, huh?
**[19:12] ---**
Belze'll probably be happy
if I bring you to Chronos,
**[19:16] ---**
along with the
bio-weapon mademoiselle.
**[19:21] ---**
Let's get something straight.
She isn't a weapon.
**[19:24] ---**
She's a human!
**[19:26] ---**
This is also part of my mission!
**[19:38] ---**
Black Cat!!
**[19:42] ---**
That's wishful thinking, Black Cat!
**[19:44] ---**
Even if you fire three bullets,
it's not gonna beat my Excellion.
**[19:52] ---**
Damn!
**[19:53] ---**
Sorry, but my Hades
is also made of orichalcum.
**[19:59] ---**
Eve, I'll leave the rest to you!
**[20:05] ---**
What?! Chronos came?!
**[20:08] ---**
But I beat them up.
**[20:10] ---**
Dummy! He purposely
pretended that he was knocked out.
**[20:13] ---**
What?
**[20:14] ---**
There's no way one of the
Numbers would be knocked unconscious
**[20:17] ---**
just by being hit with a hammer.
**[20:18] ---**
So, why are you guys
having dinner together,
**[20:23] ---**
while I was out looking all over
for Eve for three-and-a-half long hours?
**[20:26] ---**
Because I was starving...
**[20:27] ---**
Because I was hungry...
**[20:29] ---**
Jenos-*sama*...
**[20:30] ---**
Forget about
what happened tonight.
**[20:32] ---**
But...
Forget it!
**[20:34] ---**
U-Understood.
**[20:36] ---**
How many miles do we
have left to reach the town?
**[20:39] ---**
20 miles...
**[20:42] ---**
Thanks to Black Cat,
our car was trashed!
**[20:45] ---**
That was because you...
**[20:47] ---**
Shut up!
**[20:48] ---**
What shall we
report to Belze-*sama*?
**[20:51] ---**
This matter was left to me.
**[20:54] ---**
So, I'll decide
what we're gonna do.
**[20:56] ---**
Yes...
**[20:59] ---**
A stray cat who does
as he pleases, huh?
**[21:03] ---**
We're already leaving?
**[21:04] ---**
If we stay here, Chronos
could come back any time, right?!
**[21:08] ---**
You don't need
to worry about that...
**[21:12] ---**
By the way, what's up
with that bell on your neck?
**[21:15] ---**
Oh, yeah, it's slick, isn't it?
**[21:17] ---**
Hmm...
**[21:19] ---**
But I feel like
I've seen that bell somewhere...
**[21:29] ---**
Then, you're saying that Creed
used some uncanny power?
**[21:34] ---**
Yes. According to Nizer...
**[21:41] ---**
Could it be Tao?
**[21:42] ---**
Very possibly.
**[21:43] ---**
I also crossed swords with a
man who called himself a Taoist.
**[21:47] ---**
However, those with
the power of the Tao
**[21:50] ---**
were supposed to be
eradicated in the war 20 years ago.
**[21:54] ---**
Are the survivors of the "Itairiku War"
trying to cause an uproar?
**[21:59] ---**
But, why can Creed
use the power of the Tao?
**[22:02] ---**
It seems that an ill wind
is blowing, doesn't it?
**[22:07] ---**
The Council of Elders
is also concerned.
**[22:09] ---**
They ordered us to focus on investigating
Creed and the Taoists for now.
**[22:15] ---**
In the meantime, you should
forget about other matters.

**[00:16] ---**
Man, I'm freezing!
**[00:18] ---**
That's because it's winter.
**[00:20] ---**
Who said it was okay
for winter to start?
**[00:23] ---**
You're cold because you sold your coat
without considering the consequences.
**[00:26] ---**
And what on earth are those?
**[00:28] ---**
Emergency food?
**[00:30] ---**
He says they're paw pads...
**[00:31] ---**
Aren't they slick?
**[00:33] ---**
I don't understand...
**[00:34] ---**
I don't understand
your sense at all!
**[00:40] ---**
Hey! Don't go
blowing snot on me!!
**[00:44] ---**
I-It sure is cold, I guess...
**[00:47] ---**
Honestly, at
least fix the heater!
**[00:50] ---**
We don't have
that kind of money!
**[00:52] ---**
Why?!
**[00:53] ---**
I help out a lot with
your sweeper work too!
**[00:56] ---**
It's because you
shovel down food like a pig!
**[01:00] ---**
You've been leeching
off me for six long months!
**[01:05] ---**
By the way, Eve,
what're you reading?
**[01:08] ---**
"The Desperate Trio:
Their Escape from the Pits."
**[01:13] ---**
Sounds like you're
reading a difficult book...
**[01:16] ---**
Idiot. Eve's trying to improve
this situation in her own way, so...
**[01:20] ---**
Man, I'm freezing...
**[01:22] ---**
If you wanna complain,
**[01:24] ---**
complain after
you capture this guy.
**[01:27] ---**
Ha! Okay, then!
**[01:29] ---**
A small fish like
this, I can do it alone...
**[01:31] ---**
Me, too...
**[01:32] ---**
Huh?
**[01:32] ---**
Huh?
**[01:33] ---**
I'll do it, too.
**[01:35] ---**
Do what?
**[01:36] ---**
If we capture that
person, we'll get money, right?
**[01:41] ---**
It's too difficult for you!
**[01:44] ---**
Anyway, you can just leave this guy to me
and go quietly read a book or something...
**[01:49] ---**
Then, Train, do you wanna
compete with me...
**[01:52] ---**
in a game of tag?
**[01:54] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:56] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:59] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[02:03] ---**
*I now set off*
**[02:19] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[02:24] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[02:25] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[02:30] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[02:32] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[02:38] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[02:45] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[02:51] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:58] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*

"The Sweeping Cat"
**[03:37] ---**
Boss! We really did it!
**[03:39] ---**
Don't get excited
with small change.
**[03:41] ---**
That's our boss!
You've got a large caliber!
**[03:45] ---**
In any case, the effect of that
drink was really something!
**[03:50] ---**
Please let me have
some too next time...
**[03:52] ---**
Boss?
**[04:17] ---**
Where are you going
to spend your vacation?
**[04:18] ---**
I haven't decided yet...
**[04:21] ---**
Then, I'd love for you
to come to my vacation home.
**[04:24] ---**
You can stay
as long as you want.
**[04:27] ---**
If you want,
y-you can stay forever...
**[04:31] ---**
I have to go now...
**[04:33] ---**
Where to?
**[04:35] ---**
That's a secret...
**[04:49] ---**
Ta-da! Here it is.
**[04:54] ---**
With my skills, stuff
like this is a piece of cake!
**[04:58] ---**
There you are!
**[05:00] ---**
You playin' hide and sheek?
**[05:04] ---**
Umm, who might you be?
**[05:07] ---**
Come on, Elena-*san*,
you must be drunk.
**[05:11] ---**
It's me! Me!
**[05:13] ---**
Why don't we shhpend our vacation
together at my vacation home?
**[05:16] ---**
You can't be...
**[05:17] ---**
No vacashionn...
**[05:20] ---**
Haha...
**[05:22] ---**
So, I shee you like books.
**[05:25] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[05:27] ---**
especially things like
medieval Italian literature...
**[05:32] ---**
I love that shtuff, too,
that Italian whatever...
**[05:37] ---**
Oh?
**[05:38] ---**
Elena-*san*, this is...
**[05:42] ---**
Looks like you saw it...
**[05:44] ---**
Yes... I saw it.
**[05:48] ---**
In that case, I have no choice!
**[05:58] ---**
How about a cocktail?
**[06:00] ---**
I'm in a hurry, so...
**[06:02] ---**
Don't be like that.
Have a drink with me...
**[06:04] ---**
Rinslet Walker, the thief...
**[06:07] ---**
Who are you?
**[06:10] ---**
I'm Jenos Hazard.
**[06:21] ---**
Chrono Numbers!
**[06:26] ---**
The name of the cocktail is "Fate."
**[06:29] ---**
In token of our new
acquaintanceship...
**[06:31] ---**
Stealing a confidential
document within only five minutes...
**[06:34] ---**
What a skill...
**[06:35] ---**
If you've got something
to say, hurry up and say it.
**[06:37] ---**
Cinderella doesn't
have much time, huh?
**[06:42] ---**
Elena-*san*!
**[06:44] ---**
What do you want?
**[06:48] ---**
Half a year ago, I was
pursuing Torneo's bio-weapon...
**[06:52] ---**
I was taking over for
Black Cat, who left Chronos.
**[06:56] ---**
While I was investigating,
I came across your name.
**[07:00] ---**
Your skills are amazing,
getting the better of Chronos.
**[07:04] ---**
Well, that's not
important any more...
**[07:07] ---**
The situation
has changed a little,
**[07:09] ---**
and we don't have
time for that right now.
**[07:11] ---**
A force that opposes
Chronos has appeared.
**[07:15] ---**
Opposes Chronos?
**[07:17] ---**
What a reckless bunch...
**[07:21] ---**
They're a group of Tao users.
**[07:22] ---**
Tao?
**[07:23] ---**
It's an uncanny power that
has been passed down in Itairiku.
**[07:26] ---**
The Tao users were eradicated
by Chronos 20 years ago.
**[07:32] ---**
But lately, there have been
criminals who use that power.
**[07:38] ---**
With power like that of a monster,
they did whatever they pleased.
**[07:41] ---**
But, in every case, their
bodies destroyed themselves.
**[07:45] ---**
There have been three
incidents like that up until now.
**[07:48] ---**
The common thread among them is
that, before they committed crimes,
**[07:51] ---**
they were visited
by a suspicious duo.
**[07:55] ---**
Are those two also Tao users?
**[07:58] ---**
Probably...
**[07:59] ---**
I heard that the three
who gained the power of Tao
**[08:02] ---**
were given a
strange drink by that duo.
**[08:06] ---**
A drink that gives you
the power of Tao by drinking it...
**[08:10] ---**
It's interesting, isn't it?
**[08:13] ---**
Are you asking me to steal it?!
**[08:18] ---**
The three that died an unnatural
death had something in common.
**[08:21] ---**
They all escaped from the
same prison half a year ago.
**[08:24] ---**
The Office of Investigations
**[08:26] ---**
thinks there was someone
who helped them from the outside.
**[08:29] ---**
These two are the ones that remain.
**[08:32] ---**
The Tao user duo
will probably visit these two.
**[08:36] ---**
If you know that much,
why don't you steal it yourself?
**[08:40] ---**
I don't want to aggravate
the matter at this point.
**[08:42] ---**
I need your thief skills.
**[08:46] ---**
Find someone else.
**[08:47] ---**
Ten million gold...
**[08:49] ---**
Plus necessary expenses...
**[08:51] ---**
How is that?
**[08:54] ---**
Shoot!
**[08:55] ---**
That wasn't nice, Elena-*san*!
**[09:01] ---**
My heart's pounding!
**[09:02] ---**
Why are you following me?!
**[09:04] ---**
I feel like you're my fate.
**[09:07] ---**
I'm gonna slug you!!
**[09:15] ---**
I wanna hear about the duo
that came to see your boss.
**[09:20] ---**
What were they like?
**[09:22] ---**
If you don't tell me,
I'll hit you again!
**[09:24] ---**
A-A man with a hat
and a young woman.
**[09:28] ---**
And?!
**[09:29] ---**
We were told that the man with the hat
helped our boss to escape from prison.
**[09:33] ---**
Our boss told us he had to help
that man as a token of his gratitude.
**[09:38] ---**
But your boss died...
**[09:40] ---**
It's their fault.
**[09:42] ---**
They made our boss...
**[09:43] ---**
Drink something...
**[09:46] ---**
Is there some left?
**[09:51] ---**
Begafurt, Rubek City,
**[09:56] ---**
Desburg...
**[09:59] ---**
Considering the route they're
taking, it should be this way.
**[10:05] ---**
You shouldn't do that.
**[10:16] ---**
Flowers are alive, too.
**[10:19] ---**
I'll teach you a lot about flowers.
**[10:22] ---**
Okay!
**[10:24] ---**
I've looked all over for you, Igor.
**[10:31] ---**
I'll teach you next time, okay?
**[10:33] ---**
Okay...
**[10:42] ---**
Charden-*san*...
**[10:43] ---**
The battle with
Chronos will start soon.
**[10:49] ---**
I want to...
**[10:51] ---**
live here quietly.
**[10:54] ---**
You mean an escaped prisoner
lives in a rural area like this?
**[10:57] ---**
I got the information from Annette.
It's definitely correct.
**[11:00] ---**
Three miles to the town.
**[11:02] ---**
We aren't there yet!
**[11:04] ---**
Help me push the car.
**[11:08] ---**
We're out of gas.
**[11:18] ---**
I'm exhausted...
**[11:20] ---**
Let's hurry up
and go capture him.
**[11:22] ---**
Igor Planter.
Occupation: Forest Keeper.
**[11:27] ---**
Seems like he's your average guy.
**[11:30] ---**
There's no need to rush.
**[11:32] ---**
We don't even know where he is.
Let's take a break.
**[11:36] ---**
Then, I'll go look
for him by myself.
**[11:38] ---**
See, this is why I think that an
innocent princess'll give us trouble.
**[11:43] ---**
Princess?
**[11:44] ---**
A princess, huh?
**[11:46] ---**
You got a point there.
**[11:51] ---**
So, what can I get for you?
**[11:57] ---**
Oh?
**[12:01] ---**
Ahhh!
**[12:01] ---**
Ahhh!
**[12:03] ---**
You're that waitress
from Blakio City...
**[12:05] ---**
You're the pops who
skipped out on your bills!
**[12:07] ---**
Don't say things
that'll hurt my reputation!
**[12:10] ---**
This brings back memories!
It's been half a year, hasn't it?
**[12:13] ---**
Why are you here?
**[12:16] ---**
A lot has happened
to me since then...
**[12:19] ---**
I quit that restaurant
and broke up with that guy.
**[12:21] ---**
--Then went to that country and met that guy.
**[12:22] ---**
--Man, I'm hungry...
**[12:23] ---**
--Then, I broke up with that guy
**[12:23] ---**
--I'll have this, this, this and this...
**[12:24] ---**
--and met that man, and...
**[12:24] ---**
--I'd like this one.
**[12:25] ---**
--Oh, that one?
Now what do I want?
**[12:25] ---**
--Oh, and, this one, too.
**[12:28] ---**
--Hey, listen!!
**[12:29] ---**
--Huh?
**[12:31] ---**
*Daughter...*
**[12:32] ---**
*Not sure...*
**[12:33] ---**
*Father...*
**[12:35] ---**
So you've got a
complicated family structure...
**[12:40] ---**
Brrr, I'll have some hot milk, please!
Hey, isn't there any meat?
**[12:43] ---**
Vegetables are nutritious.
**[12:45] ---**
That's right! And you're scarfing
it down while you're complaining!
**[12:49] ---**
Hey!
**[12:51] ---**
What are you guys
doing in a place like this?!
**[12:58] ---**
Why is that assassin here?
**[13:01] ---**
A lot happened...
**[13:02] ---**
Hey! I'll settle for the cheap
stuff, so bring me more food!
**[13:06] ---**
Tao users?
What's that about?
**[13:10] ---**
It's a mysterious militant group
that uses uncanny techniques.
**[13:13] ---**
Uncanny techniques?
**[13:15] ---**
In any case, it seems that these two
have been building up a circle of allies
**[13:20] ---**
by having vicious criminals
drink some strange drink.
**[13:24] ---**
Now, drink it.
**[13:29] ---**
What happens when I drink it?
**[13:32] ---**
You may get an amazing power,
**[13:34] ---**
or you may die.
**[13:37] ---**
Did you drink it, too?
**[13:39] ---**
It's incredibly effective.
**[13:41] ---**
First you take a sip.
**[13:43] ---**
Then once your body becomes familiar
with the Tao power, you take another sip.
**[13:47] ---**
If you go too fast, your cells
won't be able to bear the rapid change.
**[13:52] ---**
Who commissioned you
to pursue those two?
**[13:54] ---**
Chronos...
**[13:56] ---**
When did you start
working with them?
**[13:58] ---**
Don't worry.
**[14:00] ---**
I didn't tell them about Eve, so...
**[14:05] ---**
I read the article.
**[14:07] ---**
He couldn't do it...
**[14:10] ---**
He couldn't
control his own power.
**[14:12] ---**
Will I be like him?
**[14:15] ---**
You said you wanted the
power to get revenge on society.
**[14:20] ---**
Th-That was just...
**[14:24] ---**
I didn't do anything wrong,
but I was apprehended...
**[14:27] ---**
so, I was angry...
**[14:28] ---**
Oh! I know!
**[14:30] ---**
That's called a false accusation, right?!
**[14:34] ---**
That's right.
**[14:35] ---**
I didn't do anything wrong.
**[14:47] ---**
So, the Tao users are so dangerous
that Chronos keeps an eye on them?
**[14:51] ---**
I heard that they can fight
on par with the Numbers.
**[14:54] ---**
S-Seriously?!
**[14:56] ---**
--On the house!
**[14:56] ---**
--Yeah!
**[14:57] ---**
Oh, these are just
bread crusts...
**[14:59] ---**
Be happy you got this!
**[15:01] ---**
So, why are they in this town?
**[15:03] ---**
Half a year ago,
**[15:04] ---**
a man with a hat helped five vicious criminals escape from prison.
**[15:09] ---**
One of them is in this town...
**[15:12] ---**
This guy!
**[15:13] ---**
Igor-*san*!
**[15:21] ---**
You know him?!
**[15:22] ---**
Where?! Where is he!
**[15:24] ---**
Hey! Are you after him, too?!
**[15:27] ---**
That's right! He's our target!
**[15:30] ---**
Hey, where is he?
**[15:31] ---**
If you don't tell me I won't be able
to pay you for the food here, either!
**[15:36] ---**
He's at Desburg Botanical Garden!
**[15:38] ---**
A botanical garden?
**[15:40] ---**
That's right! So you'd
better pay up this time!
**[15:44] ---**
Hey, what happened to Eve?
**[15:46] ---**
Huh?
**[15:47] ---**
Oh? The wanted
poster's gone, too...
**[16:09] ---**
The garden is closing soon.
**[16:14] ---**
Who are you?
**[16:15] ---**
It seems I've forgotten my name.
**[16:18] ---**
Really?
**[16:20] ---**
For a long time, I've only
dealt with flowers and trees, so...
**[16:25] ---**
Flowers don't do things
like call people by name, right?
**[16:29] ---**
You like flowers and trees?
**[16:31] ---**
I like them a lot.
**[16:34] ---**
More than humans?
**[16:38] ---**
I'm surprised you
understand, young lady...
**[16:41] ---**
Eve!
**[16:43] ---**
But, I'm really touched
you're so worried about Eve.
**[16:47] ---**
Crap! At this rate, I'm
going to lose the competition!
**[16:51] ---**
Hey, that's not the issue here!
**[16:55] ---**
Train, wait! No, wait,
you don't have to wait!
**[16:57] ---**
In any case, find Eve!
**[17:00] ---**
I think that nothing in this
world is quite so pretty as flowers.
**[17:06] ---**
They show their beautiful
form in each season.
**[17:09] ---**
Look...
**[17:11] ---**
They are my sweethearts...
**[17:15] ---**
Igor Planter...
**[17:17] ---**
This is your name, isn't it?
**[17:22] ---**
Yeah...
**[17:23] ---**
I found you...
**[17:25] ---**
Are you playing tag?
**[17:26] ---**
I'm "it"...
**[17:29] ---**
What a cute "it" you are!
**[17:33] ---**
That's...
**[17:34] ---**
I'm a sweeper...
**[17:37] ---**
Are you saying that you're
going to apprehend me?
**[17:39] ---**
I didn't do anything wrong...
**[17:42] ---**
You killed many
people, didn't you?
**[17:45] ---**
All I did was teach a lesson to
hikers who contaminated the forest.
**[17:48] ---**
They trampled on flowers
that posed no threat to them,
**[17:50] ---**
and they tore flowers
from the ground...
**[17:52] ---**
But you shouldn't kill...
**[17:57] ---**
Young lady, are you also one of them?
**[18:07] ---**
Don't step on the flowers!!
**[18:10] ---**
You have a cute face, and yet,
you trample on flowers, too?!
**[18:23] ---**
Eve!
**[18:24] ---**
You'll be o...
**[18:27] ---**
kay now...
**[18:29] ---**
I must punish bad children
who mess up the flowerbeds!
**[18:46] ---**
Stop it, you monster!
**[18:51] ---**
The trees and forests are angry.
**[18:53] ---**
You can hear their
angry voices, right?
**[18:58] ---**
You can't get out of this
greenhouse, young lady...
**[19:01] ---**
You're gonna die here!
**[19:03] ---**
Stop right there!!
**[19:05] ---**
Is that... performance art?
**[19:10] ---**
Does it hurt?
**[19:12] ---**
But you'll feel better soon.
**[19:19] ---**
You'll now be eaten by a
flower and reborn as a plant.
**[19:25] ---**
Isn't that wonderful?
**[19:29] ---**
Wh-Who's there?!
**[19:31] ---**
A sweeper!
**[19:34] ---**
Sorry for keeping you waiting, princess!
**[19:39] ---**
It makes no difference
how many of you come.
**[19:44] ---**
I feel it!
**[19:49] ---**
You don't know
when to give up, pops!
**[19:51] ---**
Do you like flowers?
**[19:54] ---**
What?
**[19:57] ---**
M-My eyes!
**[20:00] ---**
Can you use your gun like that?
**[20:02] ---**
Train!
**[20:05] ---**
This is it for both of you!
**[20:11] ---**
Let those two go!
**[20:17] ---**
Dammit!
**[20:21] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[20:23] ---**
Don't shoot!
**[20:24] ---**
What?!
**[20:56] ---**
Guns don't work on me.
**[20:59] ---**
I'm now invincible!
**[21:01] ---**
That's right! I'm invincible!
**[21:04] ---**
Ha! He's pretty persistent...
**[21:07] ---**
Die!!
**[21:10] ---**
I won't let you get away!!
**[21:16] ---**
My body... my body is...!
**[21:24] ---**
Someone... help me!
**[21:31] ---**
How ruthless...
**[21:34] ---**
Now I feel sorry for him...
**[21:37] ---**
I win, princess.
**[21:40] ---**
That man's body destroyed itself.
**[21:42] ---**
What?!
**[21:43] ---**
I rescued you, remember?!
**[21:45] ---**
As if you yourself
weren't in danger...
**[21:47] ---**
Dummy! I was pretending!
**[21:48] ---**
--I did that on purpose!
**[21:49] ---**
--Shinkitou?
**[21:53] ---**
Is this all?!
**[21:55] ---**
There's no way we'll get paid
when our target looks like that!
**[21:59] ---**
You really are a pops
who has no luck with money.
**[22:02] ---**
Shut up!
**[22:04] ---**
If you're in that much trouble,
why don't you help me with my job?

**[00:43] ---**
Wanna have some fun?
**[00:47] ---**
What's going on?!
**[00:53] ---**
Y-You!! What're you doing?!
**[00:56] ---**
Nothing, really...
**[00:57] ---**
Y-You're a wanted man...
**[01:01] ---**
Gyanza!! You must be Gyanza Rujikke!!
**[01:04] ---**
And if I am?
**[01:06] ---**
Don't resist! We're taking
you into custody!!
**[01:10] ---**
Really?
**[01:11] ---**
Then, try and catch me.
**[01:19] ---**
Wh-Where is he?!
**[01:21] ---**
Where're you hiding, Gyanza?!
**[01:24] ---**
I'm right here...
**[01:26] ---**
Hmm? You dickwads're IBI agents?
**[01:29] ---**
Then, do you know a man
named Sven Vollfied?
**[01:34] ---**
N-No, I don't...
**[01:36] ---**
I don't know him!
**[01:38] ---**
I see. Got it.
**[01:41] ---**
Good-bye.
**[01:50] ---**
Sven Vollfied...
**[01:53] ---**
I swear I'm gonna kill you!!

**[03:31] ---**
"The Charming Cat"
**[03:47] ---**
First off, this guy...
**[03:50] ---**
Gyanza Rujikke!!
**[03:52] ---**
You know him?
**[03:53] ---**
Yeah. He's one of the men I
captured way back when I was an agent.
**[03:58] ---**
He's a disgusting scumbag
who kills even women and children.
**[04:04] ---**
So, what's this got to do with Gyanza?
**[04:09] ---**
This...
**[04:12] ---**
What's that?
**[04:13] ---**
This is a bottle that contained Shinkitou.
**[04:16] ---**
Shinkitou?
**[04:17] ---**
That's right. It's a drink
that activates the power of Tao.
**[04:21] ---**
Tao?!
**[04:23] ---**
The uncanny techniques that you
were talking about the other day?
**[04:26] ---**
Yes. After Igor at the botanical garden,
**[04:30] ---**
the one that Tao user duo is after is...
**[04:34] ---**
Don't tell me!!
**[04:36] ---**
Yep. I'd like to take what's in the bottle
**[04:39] ---**
before it falls into this guy's hands.
**[04:42] ---**
Can you help me?
**[04:47] ---**
Wow, thank you!
**[04:49] ---**
Then, I'll investigate
that Tao user duo, so...
**[04:53] ---**
I'll leave Gyanza to you.
**[04:55] ---**
What's with her!
"I'll leave him to you"?
**[04:58] ---**
It's not like we have to
help that woman do her job...
**[05:01] ---**
On top of that...
**[05:02] ---**
Your fee'll be covered
by Gyanza's bounty, okay?
**[05:06] ---**
That woman's annoying!
**[05:08] ---**
The reward for Gyanza is 2 million gold.
**[05:11] ---**
Can't complain about that, right?
**[05:19] ---**
So, where's that Gyanza guy?
**[05:25] ---**
That damn Gyanza!
**[05:27] ---**
I'll capture him before
he drinks Shinkitou!
**[05:32] ---**
But...
**[05:34] ---**
what happened to Train?!
**[05:35] ---**
He's gone...
**[05:37] ---**
Geez... As soon as I turn
my back, he takes off...
**[05:41] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:42] ---**
He'll come back when he gets hungry.
**[05:49] ---**
Oh?
**[05:50] ---**
Hey...
**[06:08] ---**
*Throb!*
**[06:11] ---**
Looks like the rumor that crime's getting
bad in this city these days is true...
**[06:18] ---**
Most of the stores're closed, too...
**[06:20] ---**
The stores're closed, but you've got me!
**[06:27] ---**
Let's see... where's a
milk vending machine?
**[06:30] ---**
There's no milk vending
machines, but you've got me!
**[06:37] ---**
I wonder if there's
somewhere I can get some milk...
**[06:39] ---**
Okay! I got it! You've got me, so...!
**[06:58] ---**
Wh-What're you doing?!
**[07:00] ---**
That's my line!
**[07:03] ---**
Uhm, may I have your name?!
***SIGN***
**[07:05] ---**
Kuro-neko!
**[07:06] ---**
Kuro?
**[07:09] ---**
So, it's "Kuro-*sama,*" right?!
**[07:11] ---**
Oh, no! I'll be late for my appointment!
**[07:14] ---**
Kuro-*sama*! I'm Kyoko!
**[07:16] ---**
I'll see you if our fates meet again!
**[07:19] ---**
Oh? My popsicle's gone! Where'd it go?!
**[07:22] ---**
She sure makes a lot of noise...
**[07:26] ---**
You're 30 seconds late.
**[07:28] ---**
Please listen, Charden-*san*!
**[07:30] ---**
I met this gorgeous guy today!
**[07:35] ---**
When these bad guys were hassling me,
**[07:37] ---**
he was all like, "Bam! Pow!"
and defeated them!
**[07:40] ---**
He's such a cool guy...
**[07:43] ---**
Oh? My popsicle's gone again!
**[07:46] ---**
Where'd it go? Where'd it go?
**[07:48] ---**
But, Charden-*san*, what on
earth is up with this place?
**[07:52] ---**
This town is terribly quiet.
**[07:55] ---**
All the stores're closed, too.
It's so boring!
**[07:59] ---**
If you have complaints,
please tell them all to Gyanza-*san*.
**[08:03] ---**
Since he's been rampaging around
lately, the town has gotten quiet.
**[08:08] ---**
Boring...
**[08:10] ---**
Please don't grumble like that.
**[08:12] ---**
Kyoko-*san*, it seems
that you're too carefree.
**[08:15] ---**
What's wrong with that?
**[08:17] ---**
You told me that this revolution
**[08:20] ---**
that'll happen soon is a festival, Charden-*san*.
**[08:22] ---**
Yes, it's a festival.
**[08:25] ---**
But right now we're
preparing for the festival.
**[08:28] ---**
Preparing for it?
**[08:30] ---**
That's right.
**[08:31] ---**
So, in order for the
festival to be a success,
**[08:34] ---**
we have to take our missions seriously.
**[08:37] ---**
I see...
**[08:40] ---**
So, this is the hideout
of this Gyanza guy...
**[08:45] ---**
Anyone home?!
**[08:49] ---**
Hmmm, there's nobody here.
**[08:52] ---**
This is a problem...
**[08:54] ---**
We promised to meet here today...
**[08:57] ---**
If you're looking for big
bro Gyanza, he ain't coming.
**[09:02] ---**
Is someone there?!
**[09:11] ---**
Ah! My popsicle!
**[09:14] ---**
We came to talk to you
in place of our big bro.
**[09:17] ---**
Does that mean Gyanza-*san* won't show?
**[09:19] ---**
That's right. That means our big bro
no longer has any business with you.
**[09:23] ---**
I think he's found a girl in
town by now and is having fun.
**[09:31] ---**
Excuse me...
**[09:33] ---**
What is it?
**[09:34] ---**
Aren't you cold in that getup?
**[09:37] ---**
What's with this girl?
Are you jealous of my beauty?
**[09:42] ---**
I'm not jealous or anything!
**[09:44] ---**
By the way, we heard
from big bro Gyanza that...
**[09:49] ---**
you guys have something good.
**[09:52] ---**
Why don't you give some to us, too?
**[09:54] ---**
Something good...
**[09:56] ---**
Oh! You mean popsicles!
"Gunya Gunya Kun"!
**[10:01] ---**
Look! See, it's so jiggly.
**[10:04] ---**
This thing jiggles all over
but it's still a popsicle!
**[10:08] ---**
This thing is beyond a popsi...
**[10:09] ---**
Is this the one?
**[10:13] ---**
All right!!
**[10:20] ---**
Was that okay, Charden-*san*?
**[10:22] ---**
Yes, no need to worry.
**[10:34] ---**
Now I'll gain incredible
power like big bro did...
**[10:42] ---**
This is so exciting!
**[10:51] ---**
Hm?
**[10:52] ---**
Nothing's happening...
**[10:54] ---**
I forgot to tell you,
**[10:56] ---**
that it only works for a handful of people.
**[10:59] ---**
If it doesn't work...
**[11:03] ---**
this is what will happen.
**[11:05] ---**
Gilbath!
**[11:06] ---**
H-How dare you?!
**[11:10] ---**
You won't get away with this!
**[11:13] ---**
What shall we do, Charden-*san*?
**[11:16] ---**
Since it doesn't seem like
they'll just let us walk out of here,
**[11:19] ---**
let's have some fun with them.
**[11:21] ---**
Okay!
**[11:22] ---**
Here I come, lightly dressed lady!
**[11:25] ---**
I'll warm you up!
**[11:36] ---**
Man, that stupid Gyanza!
**[11:38] ---**
I'm really fumed over his
breaking his promise with us!
**[11:42] ---**
Ah! My "Gunya Gunya Kun" melted!
**[11:46] ---**
Gyanza... He may have
taken his games too far...
**[11:50] ---**
We need to keep an eye on him.
**[11:53] ---**
Oh! Please wait for me!
**[12:09] ---**
It's amazing...
**[12:11] ---**
The Tao power's really amazing...
**[12:32] ---**
Sven, what're you doing?
**[12:33] ---**
I'm intercepting police radio signals.
**[12:36] ---**
It's up to Train to gather
information in front of the station.
**[12:39] ---**
That won't work...
**[12:40] ---**
Huh?
**[12:41] ---**
Train'll be back soon.
**[12:44] ---**
He's here.
**[12:45] ---**
I'm starving...
**[12:47] ---**
No matter how far I went,
all the stores were closed...
**[12:51] ---**
Hey, Train, did you find anything?
**[12:53] ---**
I'm starving because
I didn't find anything.
**[12:57] ---**
See?
**[12:59] ---**
Guess we don't have
any other choice. Here...
**[13:02] ---**
Hmm? What's that?
**[13:06] ---**
"Fishing"...
**[13:07] ---**
Fishing?
**[13:10] ---**
"Fishing" is one of the methods that we, sweepers,
**[13:14] ---**
use to capture our targets.
**[13:15] ---**
You act as a decoy yourself
to lure the target towards you,
**[13:18] ---**
and capture him.
**[13:21] ---**
--I see...
**[13:21] ---**
--I see...
**[13:24] ---**
So, why'd it have to be me?
**[13:27] ---**
People don't go out at night dressed
like this in the first place, I'd say...
**[13:31] ---**
There's no way I can!
**[13:32] ---**
Gyanza targets women!
**[13:35] ---**
Then, how about we decide it with this?
**[13:37] ---**
Okay. If it's heads, you'll do it.
If it's tails, I'll do it!
**[13:41] ---**
All right!
**[13:43] ---**
I'll be the decoy.
**[13:46] ---**
Wha?
**[13:51] ---**
*I mean, there's no way
we can make her a decoy...*
**[13:55] ---**
*Err, I mean, we couldn't possibly!*
**[13:57] ---**
*I tell ya, err, I mean, I do declare I've
lived as a gentleman for thirty years!*
**[14:03] ---**
*There's no way I can just sit back*
**[14:05] ---**
*and let a jerk like Gyanza have
everything his way! Wouldn't you agree?*
**[14:08] ---**
*My old lady, err,
mother dearest always said to me...*
**[14:11] ---**
*"You have to protect girls."*
**[14:13] ---**
*That's right! I'll protect
the women of the world!*
**[14:17] ---**
*That despicable Gyanza!
Now that it's come to this,*
**[14:19] ---**
*I'm gonna capture him no matter what!*
**[14:21] ---**
*As a gentleman! No...*
**[14:24] ---**
*as a "lady"!*
**[14:39] ---**
Gyanza isn't showing up...
**[14:44] ---**
I... kind of don't think he will.
**[14:51] ---**
Oh, it's empty...
**[14:54] ---**
Looks like I came a little too late...
**[15:00] ---**
*Come out, Gyanza... Come out, Gyanza...*
**[15:04] ---**
*Come out Gyanza... Come ou... Oh, wait.*
**[15:12] ---**
*I wonder if I look like a woman...*
**[15:15] ---**
Oh yeah, definitely.
**[15:16] ---**
You look cute, really.
**[15:20] ---**
Gyanza!
**[15:21] ---**
Oh, ma'am! You're so beautiful!
**[15:24] ---**
How about working at my place?
**[15:26] ---**
H-H-Hey!
**[15:28] ---**
--Hey! You don't have to be so shy!
**[15:28] ---**
--Aaahhh! Leave me alone!
**[15:31] ---**
Looks like this place is
as unsafe as people say...
**[15:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:38] ---**
I caught something weird...
**[15:44] ---**
In any case, I think
the usual Sven's better...
**[15:49] ---**
Was it that way?!
**[15:50] ---**
Train! H-Hold on!
**[15:53] ---**
Sven! Come later with the princess!
**[15:55] ---**
What?!
**[15:57] ---**
H-Hey! Eve, wait!
**[16:00] ---**
F-From underground,
**[16:03] ---**
an afro appeared...
**[16:04] ---**
Gyanza! There you are!!
**[16:06] ---**
You broke your promise today, didn't you?!
**[16:09] ---**
You promised that you'd
join us if your power awakened...
**[16:13] ---**
Sorry, but I'm breaking off that deal...
**[16:17] ---**
Ah! As we suspected, you
planned on breaking it, didn't you?!
**[16:20] ---**
I changed my mind. What can you do?
**[16:25] ---**
But I appreciate you guys at least...
**[16:28] ---**
because, thanks to you guys,
**[16:30] ---**
I was able to gain this invincible power!!
**[16:42] ---**
You have a cute face.
**[16:45] ---**
It'll be cuter when
it's contorted with pain...
**[16:49] ---**
I bet you'll be crying
with a sweet voice then...
**[16:53] ---**
Stop right there!
**[16:56] ---**
Now, come quietly, Gyanza.
I'm taking you into custody!
**[17:00] ---**
Whoa! You came to rescue me again!
**[17:03] ---**
Just as I thought,
you're my fate, Kuro-*sama*!
**[17:07] ---**
Ha! A sweeper, huh?
**[17:09] ---**
Aaahhh!! Help me, Kuro-s *ama*!!
**[17:12] ---**
Kuro-*sama*! I'm dying! Save me quick!
**[17:17] ---**
Let that girl go now!
**[17:21] ---**
Aaaahhhh!
**[17:23] ---**
What?!
**[17:24] ---**
Kuro-*sama*!!
**[17:32] ---**
Train!
**[17:35] ---**
Princess!
**[17:40] ---**
Gyanza!!
**[17:50] ---**
You did it! Kuro-*sama*!
**[17:53] ---**
Smoooch!
**[17:58] ---**
Boy, you're shy, Kuro-*sama*!
**[18:02] ---**
I'm not shy or anything!
**[18:03] ---**
I guess it can't be helped.
**[18:05] ---**
I'll save my kiss for next time.
In the meantime...
**[18:08] ---**
You get a popsicle for your good work!
"Gunya Gunya Kun"!
**[18:11] ---**
Huh?
Here, milk flavor for you, Kuro-*sama*!
**[18:14] ---**
Strawberry flavor for you.
**[18:16] ---**
And, tomato flavor for me!
**[18:18] ---**
Hey, you're late.
**[18:20] ---**
I've already defeated him.
**[18:22] ---**
I was the one who defeated him.
**[18:24] ---**
I'm sorry, but I ran out of popsicles!
**[18:28] ---**
Hey, let's hurry up and arrest him
**[18:30] ---**
so we can get the reward
money and leave this town, Sven.
**[18:33] ---**
Please take me with you!
**[18:35] ---**
Sven?!
**[18:38] ---**
Drat!
**[18:39] ---**
Sven Vollfied!!
**[18:44] ---**
I've been looking for you, Sven Vollfied!
**[18:47] ---**
Long time no see, Gyanza!
**[18:49] ---**
Be a good boy and let us
take you in without a fight!
**[18:51] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
The hatred I felt then...
**[18:54] ---**
I'll settle things right here, right now...
**[18:57] ---**
with this power!
**[19:01] ---**
Tao?
**[19:02] ---**
That's right.
**[19:03] ---**
Sven!
**[19:10] ---**
What?!
**[19:11] ---**
Those hurt... a bit...
**[19:33] ---**
This is fun!
**[19:35] ---**
It looks like a game of whack-a-mole!
**[19:41] ---**
*Though we're the ones who're being hit...*
**[19:45] ---**
We don't have any other choice.
Train, do as I say!
**[19:49] ---**
I know. You want me to aim
at his right knee, right?
**[19:52] ---**
What?
**[19:53] ---**
I'm No. XIII, Black Cat.
**[19:57] ---**
By watching his movements,
**[19:58] ---**
I can tell that he's got
an old wound on his right knee.
**[20:02] ---**
That's right.
**[20:03] ---**
That's the wound I gave him
when I caught him a while back.
**[20:06] ---**
Sounds like it's gonna hurt.
**[20:08] ---**
But can you aim at him
while he's like that?
**[20:10] ---**
You'll be sorry if you
keep underestimating me.
**[20:14] ---**
Okay, fine!
**[20:15] ---**
I'm using a "burst bullet"!
**[20:18] ---**
It's my turn now.
**[20:20] ---**
What's with the relaxed attitude?!
**[20:25] ---**
That's no use, Gyanza.
**[20:26] ---**
My vision eye can see your defeat.
**[20:30] ---**
Train! Aim at him, angle 4 o'clock!
**[20:32] ---**
Okay!
**[20:50] ---**
Precognition?
**[20:51] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:52] ---**
My right eye can catch a
glimpse of the world in the future,
**[20:54] ---**
although only a little.
**[20:58] ---**
Sven!
**[20:59] ---**
Don't worry. I get really
exhausted when I use this ability.
**[21:03] ---**
Splendid work, Black Cat.
**[21:05] ---**
Oh, Charden-*san*!
**[21:07] ---**
I've been looking for you, you know!
**[21:09] ---**
Charden-*san*, this is *my* Kuro-*sama*.
**[21:12] ---**
Oh, no, I said "*my*"...
**[21:18] ---**
Y-You're...
**[21:21] ---**
H-Hey, give me more of that stuff...
**[21:23] ---**
I wanna be stronger!
**[21:26] ---**
It's no use.
**[21:28] ---**
I didn't come to save you.
**[21:31] ---**
I only came to see the end of someone
**[21:35] ---**
who misused the power.
**[21:47] ---**
Allow me to properly greet you.
**[21:50] ---**
How do you do, Black Cat?
**[21:53] ---**
I'm Charden, one of the
members of the Apostles of the Stars.
**[21:56] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[21:58] ---**
The Apostles of the Stars?
**[21:59] ---**
Yes...
**[22:01] ---**
It's a revolutionary
group led by Creed Diskenth.
**[22:06] ---**
Creed...
**[22:25] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[22:31] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*

*Around the time the first evening star appears,*
**[22:58] ---**

s when the moon is shining*
**[23:07] ---**
*Please let me dream a little*
**[23:10] ---**
*'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning*
**[23:13] ---**
*Even though I know it, I still feel lonely*
**[23:17] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[23:22] ---**
*You held me in your arms*
**[23:25] ---**
*and your passionate lips met mine*
**[23:28] ---**
*Please don't let go of me*
**[23:31] ---**
*I'm about to melt in your arms*
**[23:34] ---**
*But morning is almost here*
**[23:37] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[23:41] ---**
*I pray to you,*
**[23:43] ---**
*please stop time*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:58] ---**
*To you fools out there
who're being controlled*
**[24:00] ---**
*by an utterly corrupt secret organization!*
**[24:02] ---**
*I announce that we, the Apostles
of the Stars, will change the world!*
**[24:07] ---**
*A festival will start.*
**[24:09] ---**

*what my ideals are...*

**[00:30] ---**
Is Creed alive?
**[00:36] ---**
Calm down, Train!
**[00:39] ---**
He is alive...
**[00:40] ---**
and, Black Cat,
**[00:43] ---**
he wants very much to see you.
**[00:45] ---**
Where is he?!
**[00:47] ---**
If you want to see him,
**[00:49] ---**
I suggest you come to Sangeles City in three days.
**[00:52] ---**
I'll be there, too!
**[00:53] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[00:56] ---**
A wonderful festival will start there.
**[00:59] ---**
Please bring your friends with you, too.
**[01:04] ---**
Well, then...
See ya!
**[01:06] ---**
Wait!
**[01:09] ---**
Train!
**[01:26] ---**
*Sangeles... City...*
**[01:30] ---**
Train...
**[01:35] ---**
Sven, it's torn up...
**[01:36] ---**
Aahh! The rental dress is!
**[01:41] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:44] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:47] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:50] ---**
*I now set off*
**[02:07] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*

*(The wind is scorching)*
**[02:13] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*

*I'll never, ever lose it again*

**[02:52] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[03:11] ---**
"The Cat Unleashed"
**[03:26] ---**
I see nothing
particularly unusual, Jenos-*sama*.
**[03:29] ---**
When there's something
unusual, we'll be in trouble.
**[03:31] ---**
But why are you, one of the Numbers,
**[03:34] ---**
doing a task like security
for the Summit, Jenos-*sama*?
**[03:35] ---**
There're several things that
I'm concerned about... Hmm?
**[03:41] ---**
What's the matter?
**[03:46] ---**
She's such a cutie!
**[03:48] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[03:51] ---**
Here in Sangeles City, under tight security,
**[03:55] ---**
the Continental Summit is about to start.
**[03:59] ---**
Leaders from each country all convene
**[04:01] ---**
to explore the possibility
of a continental union,
**[04:04] ---**
and this Summit is
drawing citizens' attention.
**[04:06] ---**
In addition, there have
also been some credible rumors,
**[04:09] ---**
such as that there
will be a terrorist attack.
**[04:11] ---**
This looks as if the
city's under martial law.
**[04:13] ---**
They're probably showing off their military
power to intimidate surrounding countries,
**[04:18] ---**
though the fact is that they can't take
care of their own country without Chronos.
**[04:23] ---**
What does that guy with the hat
**[04:24] ---**
want to show us by calling us to a place like this?
**[04:28] ---**
He said a festival'd start,
or something like that, right?
**[04:31] ---**
I wonder if we can see fireworks.
**[04:34] ---**
Seems like this'll be a
different kind of festival.
**[04:36] ---**
That's no fun.
**[04:39] ---**
I wonder if it has something
to do with the Summit.
**[04:42] ---**
I don't know. That aside,
I'm worried about Train...
**[04:46] ---**
As soon as he heard the name
"Creed," he disappeared on us.
**[04:52] ---**
A man connected to Train's past, huh?
**[04:56] ---**
I have a bad feeling...
**[04:58] ---**
When Train and that
Creed guy face each other,
**[05:01] ---**
something bad's definitely gonna happen.
**[05:03] ---**
So, you got worried
and came after him, huh?
**[05:06] ---**
Hell no!
**[05:08] ---**
I have to pay for the rental dress
that got tore up the other day...
**[05:11] ---**
and, well, big cities have more
wanted criminals with higher rewards...
**[05:15] ---**
I know what you're thinking.
**[05:17] ---**
Since I looked into that eye of yours.
**[05:22] ---**
Honestly, that guy's
really high-maintenance...
**[05:26] ---**
Hey, what're you doing here?!
**[05:28] ---**
Pursuing that duo led me here.
**[05:37] ---**
No! I'm not some woman
that'll do whatever you want.
**[05:41] ---**
--Echidna-*san*'s pretty.
**[05:42] ---**
--Please stay here forever.
**[05:45] ---**
--I need you.
**[05:46] ---**
--Let's get going.
**[05:48] ---**
Is it time already?
**[05:50] ---**
Yes.
**[05:52] ---**
Do you think Kuro-*sama*'llcome?
**[05:54] ---**
Kuro-*sama*?
**[05:55] ---**
He's Black Cat, so Kuro-*sama*.
**[05:58] ---**
I see...
**[05:59] ---**
Why did you invite Kuro-*sama
*to our festival, Charden-*san*?
**[06:05] ---**
Because Creed wanted to see him.
**[06:08] ---**
Also, I sensed that he
has the same aura as ours.
**[06:13] ---**
Really?
**[06:14] ---**
It's the aura of a lonely soul.
**[06:16] ---**
Hmm...
**[06:18] ---**
So, he may empathize with the
goal of the Apostles of the Stars.
**[06:23] ---**
Then, Kuro-*sama* and I can fight together?!
**[06:27] ---**
It'd be great if that happens...
**[06:29] ---**
Why must you go now?!
**[06:32] ---**
The die is already cast.
**[06:35] ---**
So, it'll start at last, Creed...
**[06:38] ---**
Yeah, our festival will...
**[06:41] ---**
Look at those fools, Echidna.
**[06:45] ---**
They don't know times have changed.
**[06:50] ---**
Are we ready?
**[06:51] ---**
Yes. Everyone's waiting for your signal.
**[06:56] ---**
We'll engrave today in history
**[06:59] ---**
as the day that we,
the Apostles of the Stars,
**[07:01] ---**
took a grand step forward into the world.
**[07:07] ---**
It seems that the sacrifice to
bless our departure has appeared.
**[07:16] ---**
Oh?
**[07:17] ---**
That's...
**[07:20] ---**
Echidna Parass!!
**[07:22] ---**
I'm a big fan of hers!
Maybe I should get her autograph?
**[07:27] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:27] ---**
Hmm?
**[07:28] ---**
There's someone else.
**[07:31] ---**
Creed Diskenth!
**[07:47] ---**
So, he's finally made a move.
**[07:52] ---**
Hmm? What the hell is that?
**[07:54] ---**
Hey, what're you doing there?!
**[07:55] ---**
You small fries!
**[07:56] ---**
What?!
**[08:01] ---**
I'm the gunman from the
Apostles of the Stars, Durham.
**[08:05] ---**
Remember that.
**[08:08] ---**
Roger! We'll immediately
head to District Y-13.
**[08:11] ---**
Y-13. Hurry up.
**[08:12] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[08:15] ---**
What's the matter?
**[08:16] ---**
Seems like it's broken down.
**[08:18] ---**
What's wrong?
**[08:20] ---**
My body...
**[08:21] ---**
Heavy...
**[08:26] ---**
Wh-What's this heaviness?
**[08:33] ---**
A-Are you doing this, you bastard?
**[08:37] ---**
"Bastard"?
**[08:40] ---**
How rude. I, Maro,
**[08:43] ---**
am a descendant of noble blood from Itairiku.
**[08:53] ---**
Hey, kid! What're you doing there?
**[08:57] ---**
Are you alone, sonny?
**[08:58] ---**
It's dangerous to be in a place like this.
**[09:01] ---**
Yeah, it surely will be dangerous...
**[09:04] ---**
if you come close to me.
**[09:05] ---**
Now, if you walk around alone at a time
like this and get hurt, your mom'll...
**[09:11] ---**
What's the matter?
**[09:12] ---**
C-Can't breathe...
**[09:15] ---**
See, I told you...
**[09:17] ---**
that it'd be dangerous if you came close to me.
**[09:21] ---**
Who... are you?
**[09:24] ---**
Oh? You point a gun at a child?
**[09:27] ---**
What a horrible police officer.
**[09:30] ---**
An adult like that should be...
**[09:39] ---**
You asked me who I am?
**[09:41] ---**
I'm Leon.
**[09:43] ---**
I'm a Taoist, who controls the air at will.
**[09:47] ---**
What in the world is happening?!
I can hear explosions.
**[09:51] ---**
Various unconfirmed information is
swirling around and the city is in tumult.
**[09:55] ---**
City residents, please keep
calm and evacuate to a safe place.
**[09:58] ---**
It's them! No doubt about it!
**[10:00] ---**
Wait. Where're you going?
**[10:02] ---**
I'll go bring back Train.
**[10:04] ---**
Even though you don't know where he is?
**[10:07] ---**
In any case, I have no choice
but to look for him, right?!
**[10:09] ---**
How?!
**[10:11] ---**
In the meantime at this
Presidential Office Building,
**[10:13] ---**
the Summit is about to start
in this tumultuous environment.
**[10:17] ---**
This is 207. We're currently
heading toward District 12. Over.
**[10:23] ---**
Smooch!
**[10:31] ---**
It melted!
**[10:32] ---**
Wh-What the...?
**[10:33] ---**
That's not good, Kyoko-*san*.
**[10:36] ---**
You have to be more
merciless when you fight.
**[10:47] ---**
They're monsters!
**[10:54] ---**
I came as promised.
**[10:56] ---**
Kuro-*sama*!
**[10:57] ---**
Where's Creed?!
**[11:20] ---**
Everyone, please don't worry.
**[11:23] ---**
It seems that a trivial squabble
has happened near the premises.
**[11:26] ---**
Our military should suppress it so...
**[11:37] ---**
That's...
**[11:38] ---**
Yeah, no doubt about it...
**[11:40] ---**
But what is she doing
in a place like this?
**[11:45] ---**
Y-You're Echidna Parass!
**[12:01] ---**
Wh-What on earth...?
**[12:09] ---**
Let me introduce you to Creed Diskenth.
**[12:13] ---**
He's the leader of the
Apostles of the Stars,
**[12:16] ---**
which will carve out
a new history for this planet.
**[12:19] ---**
The "Apostles of the Stars," she said?
**[12:21] ---**
Precisely.
**[12:23] ---**
We're a group of wise people who
will take your place and rule the world.
**[12:29] ---**
That's no use.
**[12:41] ---**
Wh-What do you want?
**[12:44] ---**
For you to die.
**[12:51] ---**
Kuro-*sama*! You came!
**[12:56] ---**
Bring Creed here.
**[12:58] ---**
Kuro-*sama*...
**[12:59] ---**
You don't have to be hasty.
You'll see him soon.
**[13:02] ---**
I've got no time to wait around.
**[13:05] ---**
Look around calmly.
**[13:23] ---**
How about that? Was it to your liking?
**[13:26] ---**
These are fireworks for the festival.
**[13:29] ---**
Freeing people from utterly dirty rulers...
**[13:33] ---**
It is an obligation for those with
power to correct this corrupt world
**[13:36] ---**
and return it to its old self...
**[13:40] ---**
I want to see Creed, now!
**[13:42] ---**
You're such a hasty man.
**[13:45] ---**
Okay, then. It's time.
**[13:47] ---**
Okay.
**[14:20] ---**
That's...
**[14:22] ---**
Creed!
**[14:25] ---**
J-Just now, the Presidential Office
Building has collapsed before my eyes!
**[14:30] ---**
What on earth is happening?!
**[14:33] ---**
Oh! Is that a human figure?
**[14:36] ---**
From the cloud of dust,
a survivor appears, or...
**[14:40] ---**
Hello, Train. Long time no see.
**[14:43] ---**
What?!
**[14:44] ---**
Did you see it... my power?
**[14:48] ---**
I'm very excited to hear
that you're in this town.
**[14:54] ---**
Hey, what're you gonna do?!
**[14:55] ---**
What else?!
**[14:57] ---**
I'm gonna stop Train!!
**[15:00] ---**
Sven...
**[15:21] ---**
Train!
**[15:33] ---**
Let me introduce you...
**[15:35] ---**
We're the "Apostles of the Stars"!!
**[15:40] ---**
Congratulations, Train.
**[15:43] ---**
You made it on time for the
Apostles of the Stars' memorable day.
**[15:47] ---**
Now, it's time for you to join me and...
**[15:55] ---**
Why did you kill Saya?
**[15:57] ---**
That look! That look in your eyes!
**[16:00] ---**
That's the same
hate-filled look from those days!
**[16:02] ---**
It was worth killing that witch.
**[16:06] ---**
Don't mess with me!!
**[16:18] ---**
It's no use, Train.
**[16:45] ---**
T-Train!
**[16:47] ---**
Stop, Train!! You'll die!!
**[16:50] ---**
You can't compete with me
with your current abilities.
**[16:54] ---**
But don't worry.
**[16:56] ---**
If you obtain the power of Tao,
you, too, will...
**[16:59] ---**
You bastard, I'll make you pay!!
**[17:12] ---**
That's my Train!
**[17:15] ---**
But sadly it's pointless.
I'm not the same Creed from before.
**[17:19] ---**
You...
**[17:21] ---**
This is the power of Tao.
It's wonderful, isn't it?
**[17:25] ---**
If you join us, too,
you'll get this power...
**[17:27] ---**
That's disgusting!
**[17:33] ---**
It's heavy, isn't it?
**[17:34] ---**
That gun weighs over 200kg right now.
**[17:39] ---**
Take this! Bind to Earth Curse!
**[17:42] ---**
Now, come with me, Train.
**[17:46] ---**
Who'd go... with you...?
**[17:49] ---**
You really are...
**[17:51] ---**
Train!!
**[17:57] ---**
Idiot! Why'd you come?!
**[18:00] ---**
Who the hell are you?
**[18:02] ---**
Are you trying to interfere
with my reunion with Train?!
**[18:05] ---**
*It wasn't a sword. It was by a gun...*
**[18:19] ---**
Sven!
**[18:21] ---**
Hey!
**[18:23] ---**
Sven!
**[18:26] ---**
Durham, *you*!!
**[18:31] ---**
Why did you shoot?!
**[18:34] ---**
I'm sorry, Train, for ruining the
banquet of our long-awaited reunion...
**[18:42] ---**
For today, I'll settle for the
fact that I was able to see you...
**[18:53] ---**
Looks like a worthless bunch
sprouted around you again...
**[18:58] ---**
I won't give up.
**[19:02] ---**
You'll surely come to me... Surely...
**[19:06] ---**
Stop right there!
**[19:09] ---**
What're you doing?! Let me go!
**[19:11] ---**
Give it up! He's beyond your power!
**[19:13] ---**
Creed!!
**[19:28] ---**
You, son of a bitch!
Why did you stop me?!
**[19:32] ---**
Enough with your recklessness!!
Are you trying to get yourself killed?!
**[19:35] ---**
It's my life! That's none of your busi...
**[19:42] ---**
Don't act like someone living on his own!!
**[19:48] ---**
Sven!
**[20:02] ---**
How long do you plan to pout like that?
**[20:06] ---**
You were reckless, caused others
trouble and ended up getting punched...
**[20:11] ---**
How's it feel?
**[20:15] ---**
It's stupid of Sven to have risked
his own life for someone like you...
**[20:22] ---**
I've looked into Sven's Vision Eye...
**[20:27] ---**
Seven years ago,
when Sven was still an IBI agent,
**[20:31] ---**
he had a partner named Loyd.
**[20:34] ---**
Sven was very attached to him,
**[20:37] ---**
and always worked on
cases together with him.
**[20:42] ---**
But, on Loyd's daughter's birthday,
since he didn't want to disturb that,
**[20:47] ---**
he went to the hiding place
of a vicious criminal alone...
**[20:51] ---**
But...
**[20:57] ---**
Loyd!!
**[21:03] ---**
The one who was shot was Loyd,
who wasn't supposed to be there.
**[21:07] ---**
He had the ability to see the future,
**[21:10] ---**
so, he predicted Sven's crisis.
**[21:14] ---**
That's right, Sven's
Vision Eye is Loyd's memento.
**[21:19] ---**
It's a past too serious
for that frivolous man.
**[21:45] ---**
I'm hungry.
**[21:47] ---**
What?
**[21:48] ---**
I won't ask too much.
**[21:50] ---**
Bacon and eggs, bread, and milk.
**[21:53] ---**
And, if a salad comes with
that too, that'd be perfect.
**[21:56] ---**
Okay?
**[22:00] ---**
Seems like you need more punches.
**[22:03] ---**
Hey, it hurts!
**[22:04] ---**
Shut up! Compared to the
pain in my heart, that's nothing!
**[22:10] ---**
Ahh! You hit a wounded person?
**[22:13] ---**
Don't fool with... What the...?!
**[22:16] ---**
You bastard!
**[22:23] ---**
--Are they stupid?
**[22:23] ---**
--Are they stupid?
**[22:26] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[22:31] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[22:35] ---**
*Please stop time tonight!*
**[22:49] ---**
*Please show yourself*
**[22:52] ---**
*even if just a little*
**[22:56] ---**
*Around the time the first evening star appears,*
**[22:58] ---**
*I hear footsteps approaching*
**[23:01] ---**
*The only time I can see you**
**[23:04] ---**
s when the moon is shining*
**[23:07] ---**
*Please let me dream a little*
**[23:10] ---**
*'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning*
**[23:13] ---**
*Even though I know it, I still feel lonely*
**[23:17] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*
**[23:22] ---**
*You held me in your arms*
**[23:26] ---**
*and your passionate lips met mine*
**[23:29] ---**
*Please don't let go of me*
**[23:32] ---**
*I'm about to melt in your arms*
**[23:35] ---**
*But morning is almost here*
**[23:38] ---**
*Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!*
**[23:41] ---**
*I pray to you,*
**[23:43] ---**
*please stop time*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:56] ---**
*Since Creed appeared,
Train's been acting strange.*
**[24:00] ---**
*Even when we ask him
if there's a serious reason,*
**[24:02] ---**
*he only dodges the subject.*
**[24:05] ---**
*For now, he continues to travel
as if nothing had happened.*
**[24:08] ---**
*But he's definitely planning something.*
**[24:10] ---**
*Train, what on earth are you planning?*
**[24:14] ---**
*I don't care what it is,*
**[24:15] ---**
*but if you cause Sven to get hurt again,
I won't forgive you.*

**[00:18] ---**
This has already become a war...
**[00:21] ---**
I'm ashamed this
happened in my presence.
**[00:24] ---**
"The Apostles of the Stars"...
**[00:26] ---**
That's what Creed
Diskenth called his group?
**[00:30] ---**
Yeah...
**[00:31] ---**
To think that he's
gained this much power...
**[00:35] ---**
We have to take action right away.
**[00:38] ---**
The assault on the Apostles of the Stars...
**[00:41] ---**
Would you leave that to me?
**[00:46] ---**
I'm not saying I'll do it alone.
**[00:47] ---**
We'll take care of it
in one shot as Cerberus.
**[00:50] ---**
Jenos...
**[00:51] ---**
Nizer's wounds have
already healed as well.
**[00:54] ---**
He probably wants to get payback, too.
**[00:58] ---**
I see... Cerberus, huh?
**[01:00] ---**
Vengeful thoughts lead to ruin.
**[01:03] ---**
I know.
**[01:07] ---**
Okay...
**[01:08] ---**
Jenos, we'll leave it to you.
**[01:12] ---**
I appreciate it.
**[01:15] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:17] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:20] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:23] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:40] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:45] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:46] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[01:51] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[01:53] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[01:59] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[02:06] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[02:12] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:18] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:25] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[02:54] ---**
With this much money, I
don't have to work for five years!
**[02:59] ---**
I'll keep running,
running, running till I'm free!
**[03:04] ---**
That won't happen.
**[03:08] ---**
Wh-Who the hell are you?
**[03:12] ---**
That tattoo is... C-Can't be...
**[03:15] ---**
That's right.
**[03:17] ---**
I've come to bring you bad luck.
**[03:21] ---**
"The False Cat"
**[03:27] ---**
Geez, he's got some
nerve, snoring away like that...
**[03:31] ---**
Ow!
**[03:33] ---**
Shall I take over... driving?
**[03:35] ---**
Huh?
**[03:38] ---**
*"Elementary on Drift Turn"?*
**[03:41] ---**
Thanks, but no thanks.
**[03:44] ---**
Anyway, the man in that
wanted poster Annette sent us...
**[03:48] ---**
What was his name again?
**[03:50] ---**
Blum Pullman, wanted for
embezzlement. Eighty thousand gold.
**[03:55] ---**
He's a small fry...
**[03:57] ---**
We don't have money, so we
don't have the luxury to be picky.
**[04:00] ---**
That's the hard part...
**[04:04] ---**
Salmon, cod roe,
pickled plum, dried bonito...
**[04:07] ---**
Since we've got a guy who eats a lot,
**[04:10] ---**
although it's not like
he's still growing or anything...
**[04:14] ---**
Rice ball festival...
**[04:23] ---**
Train...
**[04:25] ---**
What shall we do with him, Creed?
**[04:29] ---**
Let's see how things go for a while.
**[04:30] ---**
Ha! If you let me, I can easily
send a guy like him to kingdom come.
**[04:36] ---**
If I wasn't interrupted, I could've
taken care of him in Sangeles City.
**[04:44] ---**
You and Train are in different leagues.
**[04:48] ---**
Why are you obsessed
with that damn cat?!
**[04:50] ---**
The only gunman you need in
the Apostles of the Stars is me!
**[05:00] ---**
Watch your mouth.
**[05:04] ---**
Stop thinking about needless things,
**[05:06] ---**
and just do what I tell you.
**[05:17] ---**
Who cares about Black Cat?!
**[05:19] ---**
Give me a break!
**[05:27] ---**
Did you wait long?
**[05:29] ---**
What happened?
**[05:31] ---**
Nothing big...
**[05:33] ---**
Be careful, since
you're not young anymore.
**[05:37] ---**
That's not nice! I'm still 25.
**[05:40] ---**
What do you want,
calling me to a place like this?
**[05:45] ---**
What's this?
**[05:47] ---**
I'd like to end our contract with you.
**[05:50] ---**
Why?!
**[05:51] ---**
You saw what happened
in Sangeles City, right?
**[05:54] ---**
The power of the Apostles of the Stars...
**[05:59] ---**
So what?
**[06:00] ---**
If you stay involved in
this, you'll be in danger.
**[06:12] ---**
H-Hey...
**[06:14] ---**
Oh boy...
**[06:17] ---**
I'm not withdrawing until
I steal Shinkitou from them!
**[06:22] ---**
Rins...
**[06:24] ---**
I knew this job'd be
dangerous from the beginning.
**[06:27] ---**
So, I don't mind dying for it.
**[06:31] ---**
You win...
**[06:32] ---**
Then, the contract stays as is.
**[06:35] ---**
That being the case,
I won't lift a finger to help.
**[06:38] ---**
You're on your own to find clues, okay?
**[06:40] ---**
I know.
**[06:42] ---**
Well, by the time you get
to the Apostles of the Stars,
**[06:45] ---**
I think everything
will be resolved, though...
**[06:48] ---**
What did he mean?!
**[06:57] ---**
What?! You're saying
Blum's already been arrested?!
**[07:00] ---**
Yes.
**[07:01] ---**
Ow, ow!
**[07:03] ---**
But anyway, what're you doing here?
**[07:05] ---**
A lot happened to me, too.
Wanna hear it?
**[07:08] ---**
No thanks.
**[07:10] ---**
Oh, okay. How did you get that injury?
**[07:13] ---**
I don't wanna talk about it.
**[07:14] ---**
Oh, okay.
**[07:16] ---**
You can't put it on your tab today, okay?
**[07:18] ---**
Ouch!
**[07:20] ---**
Don't speak with such a pitiful voice.
**[07:23] ---**
Hey, whose fault do you
think it is that I got injured?!
**[07:25] ---**
So, I'm saying I'm sorry, all right?
**[07:28] ---**
This is on the house!
**[07:29] ---**
Yes!
**[07:31] ---**
Oh... bread crusts again...
**[07:33] ---**
How rude! They're deep-fried this time!
**[07:36] ---**
That's right, Train.
They're deep-fried, although they're free.
**[07:40] ---**
That's right, Train.
**[07:42] ---**
Someone's already captured Blum,
**[07:44] ---**
and we have to pay for Sven's medicine.
**[07:46] ---**
We can't expect too much.
**[07:49] ---**
Whoa! What a sensible daughter you got.
**[07:51] ---**
She's not my daughter!
**[07:53] ---**
By the way, when and where
was Blum captured, and by whom?
**[07:58] ---**
Oh, that was yesterday at this place...
**[08:01] ---**
by a sweeper named Black Cat...
**[08:04] ---**
Black Cat?!
**[08:06] ---**
That's right. I heard that he's a
famous man in the underground.
**[08:09] ---**
He's merciless and coldhearted...
and used to be an expert assassin.
**[08:13] ---**
He disappeared six months ago,
**[08:16] ---**
but made a comeback
as a sweeper recently.
**[08:18] ---**
He's suspicious, isn't he?
**[08:20] ---**
What does he look like?
**[08:22] ---**
Hmm... He's about 40 years
old and very well-fleshed...
**[08:28] ---**
That's no black cat, but a fat cat.
**[08:33] ---**
Boy, I ate a lot.
**[08:35] ---**
Gee, being Black Cat sure is profitable.
**[08:39] ---**
Good that I changed
my occupation after all.
**[08:41] ---**
Ouch!
**[08:42] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[08:45] ---**
I can't hear you, pops.
**[08:51] ---**
*N-No... I'm not Wimpy Woodney anymore.*
**[08:55] ---**
*I'm Black Cat!*
**[08:58] ---**
You, bastard! Who do you think I am?
**[09:01] ---**
Huh?
**[09:02] ---**
This tattoo...
**[09:03] ---**
Hmm? Oh, it's not on this one today...
**[09:07] ---**
Can't you see this tattoo?!
**[09:12] ---**
I'm very sorry! I didn't have the
slightest idea that you were Black Cat!
**[09:17] ---**
Hey, hey... If you shout
like that, people'll stare at us.
**[09:21] ---**
In token of my apology,
I'll take you to a good place!
**[09:23] ---**
It's a fine place
with many pretty women...
**[09:28] ---**
Really?
**[09:31] ---**
I ate them all...
**[09:33] ---**
Princess, could you order
my after-meal milk for me?
**[09:37] ---**
Hmm?
**[09:38] ---**
Oh? Where's the princess?
**[09:41] ---**
She went to a pharmacy.
**[09:42] ---**
A pharmacy?
**[09:44] ---**
She went to buy a salve for my wounds.
**[09:49] ---**
You see how kind Eve is?
**[09:52] ---**
Hey, can I have some milk?
**[09:55] ---**
Geez...
**[09:58] ---**
So, what're we gonna do?
**[09:59] ---**
About what?
**[10:00] ---**
About that impostor...
**[10:03] ---**
Nothing really...
**[10:04] ---**
Well, if you say so...
**[10:08] ---**
Seems like there're quite many
people who're still after you, so...
**[10:19] ---**
You may be right.
**[10:24] ---**
Bring me more food! Bring me drinks!
**[10:29] ---**
I'll capture all the bad guys for you!
**[10:31] ---**
Wow! You're so dependable!
**[10:35] ---**
Seems like luck has turned my way.
**[10:47] ---**
So, what kind of wound is it?
**[10:49] ---**
Is it a graze wound?
Or is it a cut wound?
**[10:53] ---**
He was shot with a gun.
**[10:57] ---**
Th-Thanks for shopping.
**[11:00] ---**
Hope he gets better soon.
**[11:19] ---**
Did you really meet Black Cat?
**[11:21] ---**
Yes!
**[11:22] ---**
If it was a lie, you'll be sorry.
**[11:24] ---**
It's true! I took him into
"Quick-draw Tavern," on the main avenue.
**[11:29] ---**
Ha! If we take down
Black Cat, we'll become famous.
**[11:34] ---**
Shall we ambush him
right outside the tavern?
**[11:38] ---**
See you later, then!
**[11:40] ---**
Make sure you
come back now, Black Cat!
**[11:43] ---**
You have to!
**[11:46] ---**
I'm so happy it's scary!
**[11:57] ---**
Don't stare at me like that, señorita.
**[12:00] ---**
If you fall in love with me,
you'll get burned.
**[12:02] ---**
Just kidding.
**[12:05] ---**
You're the Black Cat?
**[12:08] ---**
So you found that out?
**[12:10] ---**
Wanna see my tattoo?
**[12:13] ---**
Mister, someone's after you.
**[12:15] ---**
Don't call me Mister, señorita.
At least call me Big Brother.
**[12:19] ---**
Oh... after me, you said? Who?
**[12:23] ---**
A man who looks like this
**[12:25] ---**
was talking with scary-looking
people about attacking you.
**[12:29] ---**
So, you'd better run.
**[12:32] ---**
D-Don't be silly. I'm Black Cat.
**[12:36] ---**
I take out guys like
that with my Haadysu...
**[12:42] ---**
Well, then, señorita...
**[12:44] ---**
Oops...
**[12:49] ---**
So, you're Black Cat?
**[13:07] ---**
Hey, one guy vs. three...
**[13:08] ---**
He has no chance of winning...
**[13:12] ---**
The six o'clock bell will
be the signal for the match.
**[13:17] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[13:30] ---**
I'm... actually...
**[13:40] ---**
♪ Wading through a storm of bullets, ♪
**[13:42] ---**
♪ He's wandered,
wandered to the farthest land, ♪
**[13:46] ---**
♪ Oh, he's a sorrowful, stray gunman. ♪
**[13:52] ---**
♪ Ba-da-ba-da-boom! ♪
**[13:55] ---**
Hey, miss... what did you come
to a country town like this for?
**[13:57] ---**
I'm meeting my friend!
**[13:59] ---**
Meeting a guy? I'm jealous.
**[14:04] ---**
Touch me and you die.
**[14:06] ---**
Y-Yes, ma'am.
**[14:17] ---**
Now, let's eat to our heart's content!
**[14:20] ---**
At any rate, this is a celebration
for my escaping death...
**[14:23] ---**
No, for my winning the duel.
**[14:26] ---**
But still, taking down
three people in one instant...
**[14:30] ---**
I'm so strong it's almost scary...
**[14:33] ---**
Wh-What the...?!
**[14:35] ---**
Hmm?
**[14:46] ---**
Still, I wonder when I shot them...
**[14:48] ---**
Oh, it's already this late...
**[14:51] ---**
Señorita, where's your house?!
I'll walk you home.
**[14:56] ---**
I don't have one.
**[14:56] ---**
What? What about your parents?
**[14:59] ---**
I don't have any.
**[15:01] ---**
An orphan!
**[15:03] ---**
You're like me!
**[15:06] ---**
I see, I see... You're cute but you've
been living a tough life, haven't you?
**[15:10] ---**
Not really...
**[15:11] ---**
Don't worry, you don't have to pretend.
**[15:13] ---**
Because I've been living
all alone in this world, too.
**[15:20] ---**
I'm a respectable sweeper now,
**[15:23] ---**
but before, people made fun of
me, calling me Wimpy Woodney...
**[15:27] ---**
I really had a tough...
**[15:30] ---**
I know! I'll be your big brother!
**[15:33] ---**
If we travel together,
you won't be lonely, right?!
**[15:37] ---**
No thanks.
**[15:37] ---**
Why?
**[15:39] ---**
If you're with Black Cat,
there's nothing to be scared of!
**[15:52] ---**
Why in the heck're you
eating bread crusts in a tavern?!
**[15:55] ---**
We did deep-fry them!
**[15:58] ---**
What's going on?
**[15:59] ---**
I can't help it. Things
didn't go as planned.
**[16:07] ---**
What?
**[16:08] ---**
Time to work!
**[16:09] ---**
Work?
**[16:10] ---**
Did you forget?! You're still
employed by me, aren't you?
**[16:14] ---**
Employed?
**[16:16] ---**
Shinkitou, okay?! Shinkitou!!
**[16:18] ---**
What?! You haven't given up yet?
**[16:20] ---**
Of course not! We'll find
the Apostles of the Stars' hideout
**[16:24] ---**
and steal it!
**[16:27] ---**
Is it okay to leave those two there?
**[16:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:31] ---**
I think it'll be all right since I
left a note for them to wait for me there.
**[16:34] ---**
Also, I don't want to
involve Train and Eve in this.
**[16:39] ---**
I particularly don't want Train to
get closer to the Apostles of the Stars.
**[16:57] ---**
Ouch...
**[16:59] ---**
What happened?
**[17:01] ---**
I don't know...
**[17:04] ---**
You...
**[17:07] ---**
Where did Black Cat go?
**[17:15] ---**
I see, you chose to
live alone, too, señorita.
**[17:20] ---**
If you're that determined
about it, I won't ask any more.
**[17:25] ---**
Well, it may be hard for you, señorita,
**[17:28] ---**
to live with a dangerous man like me.
**[17:32] ---**
Mister, I'm surprised to see
you've been able to live this long.
**[17:37] ---**
That's because I'm extremely perceptive.
**[17:39] ---**
I reflectively dodge attacks,
**[17:41] ---**
and shoot up the enemy
with bullets from Haadysu.
**[17:44] ---**
How should I put it?
**[17:46] ---**
My body instinctively knows offense
and defense, or, something like that...
**[17:49] ---**
Well, even if I explain it,
**[17:51] ---**
it's probably hard for an amateur to
understand the mind-set of an expert...
**[17:56] ---**
Duck, Mister!
**[17:58] ---**
Hm?
**[18:07] ---**
If I remember correctly,
you're Black Cat's friend, aren't you?
**[18:13] ---**
Now, tell me! Where's Black Cat?!
**[18:20] ---**
If you don't tell me now...
**[18:24] ---**
Hold it!
**[18:28] ---**
Who the hell're you?
**[18:30] ---**
I... I'm... u-uhm...
**[18:33] ---**
Bla... Bla... Bla...
**[18:36] ---**
Enough blabbering, just beat it already!
**[18:39] ---**
Th-That's not it!
**[18:41] ---**
Mister...
**[18:43] ---**
D-Don't worry, señorita.
**[18:47] ---**
Y-You've got Black Cat with you.
**[18:51] ---**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[18:56] ---**
I'm the only one who
can protect this señorita!
**[19:01] ---**
Now! If you can,
go ahead and shoot me!
**[19:05] ---**
B-Before you shoot,
**[19:08] ---**
my Haadysu'll emit fire!
**[19:13] ---**
I am... the world-renowned...

**[19:32] ---**
Hey, princess!

What're you doing in a place like this?
**[19:35] ---**
Black Cat!!
**[19:37] ---**
Hmm?
**[19:40] ---**
You're...
**[19:42] ---**
that guy from...!
**[19:58] ---**
It's no use waiting
for my bullets to run out.
**[20:01] ---**
This is a "spirit bullet" that I put
my "spirit" into through this gun.
**[20:10] ---**
Then, how about this?
**[20:35] ---**
Are you here on Creed's orders?
**[20:49] ---**
Get lost!
**[20:52] ---**
The only one I'm after is Creed.
**[20:59] ---**
You and Train are in different leagues.
**[21:03] ---**
Dammit!
**[21:09] ---**
What?! You brought me
along just for the heck of it?!
**[21:11] ---**
Of course!
**[21:12] ---**
There's no way that I'd know where
the Apostles of the Stars' hideout is,
**[21:14] ---**
I tell you!
**[21:16] ---**
Geez... give me a break...
**[21:20] ---**
Where are we?
**[21:23] ---**
Oh?
**[21:25] ---**
What the heck're you doing
in a place like this?
**[21:29] ---**
Nothing big...
**[21:40] ---**
Gee, you sure come
up with cruel ideas...
**[21:44] ---**
We'll have him guide us to
the Apostles of the Stars' hideout.
**[21:49] ---**
It's a good idea, don't you think?
**[21:52] ---**
So, who might this be?
**[21:55] ---**
Mister said that he
wants to be Train's disciple.
**[21:59] ---**
That's not nice, Miss. You can
stop calling me Mister now.
**[22:03] ---**
I'm still twenty years old!
**[22:05] ---**
Twenty?!
Twenty?!
**[22:09] ---**
He doesn't look like he's
twenty, don't you think, Train?

It's a chance for us to

*There's something I wanna protect*
**[02:22] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:28] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:35] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[02:54] ---**
"The Fighting Cat"
**[03:01] ---**
It's a nice moonlit night.
**[03:12] ---**
The milk's good, too.
**[03:16] ---**
Saya!
**[03:17] ---**
Hey, you want some, too?
**[03:19] ---**
No, thanks.
**[03:22] ---**
All I wanted tonight was
to tell you something, so...
**[03:25] ---**
Hmm? What is it?
**[03:28] ---**
About me...
**[03:31] ---**
It's okay to forget about me now.
**[03:35] ---**
S-Saya!!
**[04:20] ---**
Saya...
**[04:42] ---**
What's the matter, Eve?
**[04:45] ---**
Train's gone.
**[04:46] ---**
What?!
**[04:48] ---**
I think he got that man to tell him
where the Apostles of the Stars' hideout is
**[04:51] ---**
and took Mister's motorcycle to get there.
**[05:03] ---**
Hey! Where the hell did Train go?!
**[05:08] ---**
Where the hell is the
Apostles of the Stars' hideout?!
**[05:11] ---**
H-Hey! Calm down!
**[05:14] ---**
How could I calm down?!
**[05:36] ---**
Oh?
**[05:42] ---**
Train...
**[05:45] ---**
Even after all I said,
you still don't get it?!
**[05:51] ---**
Listen up, Train!
**[05:54] ---**
If you die or something,
**[05:56] ---**
I'll punch you again!!
**[06:26] ---**
How dare you run amok in Sangeles City,
**[06:30] ---**
Apostles of the Stars?!
**[06:34] ---**
So you aren't willing to
make way for us without a fight?
**[06:37] ---**
Our target is Creed only.
**[06:41] ---**
We prefer to avoid
unnecessary fights, you know.
**[06:45] ---**
Don't say things that
don't match your face, No. V.
**[06:50] ---**
It's written on your face
that you're itching to fight!
**[06:55] ---**
Man...
**[06:57] ---**
I did want to play the pacifist
once in a while, though.
**[07:02] ---**
If you want to go
through here, do it by force!
**[07:06] ---**
Man, are we being mocked or what?
**[07:10] ---**
The first welcoming party consists of
**[07:12] ---**
a sumo wrestler,
**[07:13] ---**
a little kid,
**[07:14] ---**
and a girl, huh?
**[07:20] ---**
I'll put an end to that mouth of yours,
**[07:23] ---**
foolish old timer!
**[07:24] ---**
What?! Hold it, you brat!
**[07:27] ---**
I can't let it pass that
you called me old timer!
**[07:35] ---**
Whew!
**[07:37] ---**
I get pissed...
**[07:39] ---**
at people who treat me like a child.
**[07:44] ---**
Is this kid a typhoon?
**[07:54] ---**
What?!
**[08:03] ---**
Listen up, I'll tell you something...
**[08:05] ---**
I'm not a sumo wrestler.
**[08:08] ---**
This is an ethnic costume from Itairiku!
**[08:12] ---**
Remember it well!
**[08:16] ---**
I'll tell you something, too.
Your enemy is...
**[08:19] ---**
right here!
**[08:27] ---**
Wow, cool!!
**[08:29] ---**
But, I'll keep up with the others, too!
**[08:37] ---**
Boo...
**[08:40] ---**
This is becoming interesting!
**[08:43] ---**
I have to give educational
guidance to a cocky child as well!
**[08:48] ---**
You really piss me off!
**[08:56] ---**
You're too young!
**[09:00] ---**
What?!
**[09:02] ---**
All right.
**[09:04] ---**
Beluga! Nizer!
**[09:06] ---**
Here we go!
**[09:09] ---**
Crap!
**[09:12] ---**
One more time!
**[09:17] ---**
Sorry kids!
**[09:19] ---**
This is another one of
those grown-up things!
**[09:25] ---**
I guess this is to be
expected from the Numbers...
**[09:30] ---**
Let's go...
**[09:33] ---**
Oh, hurry to me...
**[09:37] ---**
Train!
**[09:46] ---**
Kuro-*sama*?!
**[09:52] ---**
Wh-What the hell...?
**[09:58] ---**
Ah... That's Mister's motorcycle...
**[10:02] ---**
Could this be Train's work?
**[10:05] ---**
No, it's not.
**[10:07] ---**
It's too flamboyant to be
Train's way of doing things.
**[10:10] ---**
Looks like they've already
had visitors before us...
**[10:12] ---**
Visitors before us...
**[10:14] ---**
Hey!
**[10:17] ---**
Why is it Jenos?!
**[10:19] ---**
Oh?
**[10:21] ---**
Hey! Wait for me!!
**[10:35] ---**
Oh? What happened to Eve?
**[10:38] ---**
Now that you mention it...
**[10:40] ---**
I wonder if she got lost somewhere...
**[10:46] ---**
Nizer!
**[10:50] ---**
Not bad,
**[10:51] ---**
sensing it and keeping it
from hitting your heart...
**[10:56] ---**
Y-You're...!
**[11:04] ---**
I'm surprised...
**[11:08] ---**
to see that the great
international actress, Echidna Parass,
**[11:11] ---**
is a member of the Apostles of the Stars!
**[11:15] ---**
The die is already cast!
**[11:19] ---**
Whoa!
**[11:22] ---**
The time has finally
come to crush Chronos.
**[11:26] ---**
Bloody Rain!
**[11:28] ---**
I won't let you get away!
**[11:29] ---**
Take this! Dragonfly Curse!
**[12:33] ---**
What's wrong?
You're missing the target, Numbers!
**[12:39] ---**
Umph!
**[12:55] ---**
Welcome, Train!
**[12:58] ---**
I knew you'd come.
**[13:01] ---**
So, you finally decided
to become one of my allies!
**[13:10] ---**
Don't mock me!!
**[13:55] ---**
Why're you obsessed with me?
**[14:02] ---**
Go right ahead and shoot, Train.
**[14:04] ---**
What?!
**[14:06] ---**
The old you would
shoot without hesitation.
**[14:10] ---**
You were the only one not
like those others in Chronos.
**[14:16] ---**
You detested the world
and trusted no one but yourself.
**[14:19] ---**
You just sought to become stronger.
**[14:23] ---**
That's your true self, Train Heartnet!
**[14:27] ---**
You truly are the same
kind of human as I am!
**[14:34] ---**
Now, Train,
**[14:37] ---**
shoot through my head!
**[14:40] ---**
Pull that trigger and
go back to the old Train!
**[15:20] ---**
Train!
**[15:22] ---**
You!
**[15:27] ---**
Train, this is my resolution.
**[15:31] ---**
If it's for you, time is no obstacle.
**[15:36] ---**
I'll show you I can eliminate
everything that tries to change you.
**[15:40] ---**
Now, shoot me!
**[16:12] ---**
Charden!!
**[16:13] ---**
Echidna!!
**[16:17] ---**
Don't come between Train and me!!
**[16:20] ---**
But, Creed,
**[16:22] ---**
Black Cat doesn't have
any intention of joinin...
**[16:24] ---**
Shut up!!
**[16:26] ---**
I'll kill you...
**[16:31] ---**
Rins-*chan*!
**[16:33] ---**
Jenos!!
**[16:35] ---**
Are you trying to get in my way, too?!
**[16:40] ---**
Jenos!!
**[16:48] ---**
Creed!
**[17:03] ---**
Jenos!!
**[17:05] ---**
I love you!! Rins-*chan*!!
**[17:18] ---**
Train and I are about to
be bound together right now.
**[17:23] ---**
I won't let anyone come close to us!
**[17:31] ---**
Now, there's no one to
get in our way anymore.
**[17:34] ---**
Let's take time and fight, Train.
**[17:37] ---**
Don't, Train!
**[17:39] ---**
That's right! Instead of fighting
a jerk like him, come and rescue me!!
**[17:44] ---**
I don't know what happened in the past,
**[17:47] ---**
but even if you kill a jerk like
him, it wouldn't make Saya happy!!
**[17:58] ---**
I'll really kill you!
**[18:07] ---**
Now, Train,
**[18:10] ---**
aim at my head and shoot.
**[18:14] ---**
I'll accept it no matter
what kind of bullet it is.
**[18:19] ---**
And, when I accept it,
you and I will be bound!
**[18:32] ---**
Right! That look in your eyes!
**[18:35] ---**
That's your true self, Train!
**[18:39] ---**
Now, keep going and pull the trigger!
**[18:51] ---**
What was that?!
**[18:55] ---**
You pretended to aim at me,
**[18:59] ---**
but you were actually aiming at the castle!
**[19:02] ---**
Let's go, Creed!
The castle's coming down!
**[19:05] ---**
Train! Get out of here!
**[19:31] ---**
Hey!! Do something!!
**[19:33] ---**
Exactly what do you
suggest I do in this situation?!
**[19:39] ---**
Eve-*chan*!
**[19:43] ---**
Eve! Don't overdo it!!
**[19:44] ---**
Give it your best! Eve-*chan*!!
**[19:52] ---**
Oh?
**[20:09] ---**
No way...
**[20:14] ---**
To think that...
**[20:17] ---**
Train just disappeared... from my sight...
**[20:24] ---**
Creed!
**[20:29] ---**
C-Crap!
**[21:01] ---**
Oh well...
**[21:02] ---**
I couldn't get any clues
about Shinkitou after all...
**[21:09] ---**
Jenos...
**[21:13] ---**
Well, I guess there's no way the
Chrono Numbers would die so easily...
**[21:17] ---**
So, why'd you drop the showdown with Creed
**[21:21] ---**
and come to rescue us?
**[21:24] ---**
Like I said, I don't know.
**[21:28] ---**
I know why.
**[21:31] ---**
That means that you're not
a Chronos' Eraser anymore, Train.
**[21:45] ---**
I don't know...
**[21:47] ---**
By the way...
**[21:48] ---**
Hmm?
**[21:50] ---**
Was that Saya girl your girlfriend?
**[22:02] ---**
It wasn't like that.
**[22:06] ---**
My best friend... I suppose...
**[22:17] ---**
Hmm... In other words,
you were rejected, Train...
**[22:24] ---**
*The stars in the night sky are my tears*

*'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning*

**[23:21] ---**

**[00:39] ---**
Good morning!
**[00:40] ---**
Hey, did you see it?
**[00:41] ---**
You're talking about the
show on TV yesterday, right?
**[00:46] ---**
Hey! Morning, Kyoko.
**[00:49] ---**
Oh, morning!
**[00:52] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*

"The Love Cat"
**[02:44] ---**
You do realize why you were
summoned here, don't you?
**[02:49] ---**
Huh?
**[02:50] ---**
Where did you run off to without telling
your comrades, and for what purpose?
**[02:53] ---**
Shut up! Where and when I
go are none of your business!
**[02:56] ---**
I see...
**[02:58] ---**
But that is not so...
**[03:01] ---**
among us, comrades.
**[03:07] ---**
Creed, how is your wound?
**[03:13] ---**
Creed, I went to fight...
**[03:16] ---**
with the man who you said you
wanted as our comrade.
**[03:20] ---**
Oh? With Train?
**[03:23] ---**
And you lost miserably, right?
**[03:30] ---**
You're no match for Train.
**[03:33] ---**
What?!
**[03:34] ---**
He's the one man I truly respect...
**[03:40] ---**
and a valuable comrade who will
someday lead the Apostles of the Stars.
**[03:43] ---**
Ha! Just what's so
special about that damn cat?!
**[03:49] ---**
Is there anything else you wish to say?
**[03:51] ---**
I won't be as careless next time.
**[03:54] ---**
I'll tear him into shreds, and...
**[04:04] ---**
This conversation is over.
**[04:11] ---**
Oh dear... he's gone and done it.
**[04:15] ---**
Creed... Was it necessary to kill him?
**[04:19] ---**
You have a problem with that, Charden?
**[04:21] ---**
Well...
**[04:24] ---**
I do think that his words
and actions were misguided...
**[04:29] ---**
However, to execute our
comrade with so little thought...
**[04:32] ---**
He deserved to die.
**[04:35] ---**
He overestimated his abilities.
**[04:39] ---**
And you know what happens
when one does that, don't you?
**[04:44] ---**
That's how it is, Charden.
**[04:47] ---**
He had ceased to be our comrade.
**[04:51] ---**
He acted on his own and confronted Train,
**[04:55] ---**
only to lose.
**[04:57] ---**
Yes... he was trash.
**[05:15] ---**
Our goal is to free the world from
the iron grip of the Chronos Elders,
**[05:21] ---**
and create a better world.
**[05:25] ---**
To Creed, are we just
tools to achieve that goal...
**[05:30] ---**
or perhaps I should
say, just spare parts?
**[05:35] ---**
What do you think?
**[05:36] ---**
Hmm... He can be a
little shy at times, and...
**[05:40] ---**
I have a feeling that
he's a late bloomer.
**[05:42] ---**
But, even those parts, I...
**[05:45] ---**
Of course, I'm talking about Kuro-*sama*!
**[05:51] ---**
Oh!
**[05:54] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[05:55] ---**
I saw it for the first time...
your face without glasses!
**[05:58] ---**
Huh?
**[05:59] ---**
You're so handsome!!
**[06:02] ---**
Turn this way, please!
**[06:04] ---**
H-Hey... Kyoko-*san*.
**[06:07] ---**
I'm talking about a serious matter here...
**[06:09] ---**
Too bad!
**[06:11] ---**
If it wasn't for Kuro-*sama*,
I might have fallen for you!
**[06:16] ---**
Kuro-*sama*, huh?
**[06:18] ---**
Kyoko-*san*...
**[06:20] ---**
As things stand now,
in order to achieve our goal,
**[06:23] ---**
we may end up fighting against Black Cat.
**[06:25] ---**
What?! I can't do that!
**[06:28] ---**
I agree...
**[06:30] ---**
It's foolish to fight someone you love.
**[06:34] ---**
Hmm... What should I do?
**[06:58] ---**
Caught a cold?
**[06:58] ---**
Nah...
**[07:01] ---**
So even you catch colds, Train.
**[07:03] ---**
You just insulted me, didn't you?
**[07:06] ---**
Not really.
**[07:11] ---**
I'm in such a bind.
**[07:14] ---**
I think you should do
what you believe is right.
**[07:18] ---**
What I believe is right?
**[07:24] ---**
Are you really sure about this, Kyoko-*san*?
**[07:27] ---**
You don't need to become
a traitor, too, you know.
**[07:31] ---**
But if I remain an Apostle of the Stars,
**[07:34] ---**
it looks like I'll have
to fight Kuro-*sama*...
**[07:37] ---**
And, I'd feel bad if you were
all on your own, Charden-*san*...
**[07:47] ---**
You really are a strange girl.
**[07:49] ---**
Really?
**[07:51] ---**
You're the one who told me to do
what I believed was right, Charden-*san*.
**[07:58] ---**
All right, then. In any case,
I will take you to town.
**[08:02] ---**
Then we'll part for now.
**[08:04] ---**
After I think this over a
little, I'll contact you again.
**[08:08] ---**
Okay!
**[08:10] ---**
I don't know what will happen now.
**[08:13] ---**
Please be very careful.
**[08:16] ---**
Okay! I'll be fine!
**[08:19] ---**
I know! When I get home, I'm
gonna pay a visit to Kuro-*sama*!
**[08:23] ---**
If I show up out of
nowhere and give him a kiss,
**[08:26] ---**
I wonder if Kuro-*sama* will be happy!
**[08:29] ---**
How embarrassing!
**[08:29] ---**
U-Uhm, Kyoko-*san*,
**[08:32] ---**
you should keep
such fantasies to yourself.
**[08:37] ---**
Oh? Was I thinking out loud?
**[08:39] ---**
Yes, very much so.
**[08:47] ---**
What?! Charden and Kyoko did?
**[08:50] ---**
They're hopeless if they
cannot follow our ideals.
**[08:55] ---**
What should we do?
**[08:57] ---**
I'll go. I doubt if they've gone far yet.
**[09:01] ---**
What do you want to do?
**[09:03] ---**
I'm free, so I don't mind going along.
**[09:07] ---**
Well then, let's go have some fun.
**[09:15] ---**
What's that?
**[09:16] ---**
A special bullet with nanomachines in it...
**[09:21] ---**
though it's still experimental.
**[09:25] ---**
Shinkitou, which activates Tao powers,
**[09:28] ---**
is essential to the Apostles of the Stars.
**[09:32] ---**
However, since each
individual reacts to it differently,
**[09:36] ---**
the success rate is low.
**[09:39] ---**
So I wondered if I'd be able to
invent something that can replace it,
**[09:42] ---**
and as a trial I created this... Lucifer...
**[09:45] ---**
Lucifer?
**[09:47] ---**
When a person is shot with this,
his body will transform without fail.
**[09:54] ---**
However, since genes
are rearranged randomly,
**[09:58] ---**
there's no telling what kind
of transformation will occur.
**[10:00] ---**
Wow, that's interesting!
**[10:03] ---**
Then, let's try it on the girl first.
**[10:07] ---**
Kyoko Kirisaki, huh?
**[10:09] ---**
All right.
**[10:15] ---**
Now, come to me...
**[10:18] ---**
Kyoko Kirisaki!
**[10:21] ---**
You've got some nerve
not paying attention in my class!
**[10:24] ---**
Why thank you.
**[10:27] ---**
Quit daydreaming!
**[10:29] ---**
Come to the teachers' office after school!
**[10:31] ---**
Okay!
**[10:37] ---**
Just what is the matter with you?
**[10:39] ---**
Your grades have been
going down steadily.
**[10:42] ---**
Yes, that's true.
**[10:45] ---**
And, you have too many
unexcused absences!
**[10:48] ---**
You recently missed one week of school!
Where did you go?
**[10:52] ---**
Well...
**[10:54] ---**
I do understand that you get lonely being all alone
**[10:58] ---**
since your parents work abroad.
**[11:01] ---**
I'm worried about you, you know.
**[11:05] ---**
The world is a dangerous place lately,
**[11:06] ---**
and incidents have been
occurring everywhere.
**[11:08] ---**
When I think that something
might happen to you
**[11:11] ---**
when you're absent from school, I...
**[11:15] ---**
I...
**[11:17] ---**
Oh...
**[11:20] ---**
She's gone...
**[11:24] ---**
Hey, Kyoko. Just what were you doing
when you were absent from school?
**[11:26] ---**
Well... this and that.
**[11:28] ---**
Don't tell me you were
at some guy's house!
**[11:30] ---**
Oh, no way!
**[11:31] ---**
Kyoko prefers candies to guys!
**[11:38] ---**
Come to think of it,
it's almost Heart Gift Day!
**[11:41] ---**
Oh... is it that time already?
**[11:44] ---**
Who should I give my heart to this year?
**[11:47] ---**
*Oh yeah...*
**[11:49] ---**
*That's right!*
**[11:51] ---**
*All I have to do is express my
feeling to Kuro-sama with chocolates!*
**[12:15] ---**
Oh sorry!
**[12:17] ---**
You did that on purpose, didn't you?!
**[12:19] ---**
Shut up! It's already done! What can I do?
**[12:21] ---**
I'm saying don't spray snot my way!
**[12:23] ---**
You just happened to be
in the way of my snot!
**[12:24] ---**
--What'd you say?!
**[12:25] ---**
--Gossiping...
**[12:26] ---**
Huh?
**[12:28] ---**
Someone who begrudges you
is gossiping about you, Train.
**[12:33] ---**
And bad luck will soon come your way...
**[12:36] ---**
Bad luck?
**[12:38] ---**
Yes, bad luck...
**[12:49] ---**
Lala, Kuro-*sama*, yay!
**[12:55] ---**
All right! I just have to refrigerate
this so that it'll harden and...
**[12:58] ---**
it'll be done!
**[13:02] ---**
Once he eats this, I bet
Kuro-*sama* will be very happy!
**[13:09] ---**
Thank you, Kyoko...
**[13:12] ---**
Aahhh! Oh, stop that, Kuro-*sama*!!
**[13:17] ---**
Please let me meet
with Kuro-*sama* tomorrow...
**[13:21] ---**
All right!
**[13:23] ---**
Good night, Kuro-*sama*!
**[13:33] ---**
Hey Sven...
**[13:36] ---**
Huh?
**[13:39] ---**
I'm hungry...
**[13:42] ---**
You ate breakfast already, you know.
**[13:47] ---**
Huh?! That was one measly cup noodle!
**[13:50] ---**
Besides, it's evening already!
**[13:51] ---**
If you have any complaints,
go find some work for a change.
**[13:55] ---**
Okay, fine! I'll get us a big-paying job!
**[13:59] ---**
I'm coming, too.
**[14:00] ---**
Oh? You coming, too, princess?
**[14:02] ---**
Okay, then! Let's find a big fish together!
**[14:04] ---**
I'll find a bigger fish than you.
**[14:11] ---**
Done!
**[14:12] ---**
It's done! It's done!
**[14:14] ---**
Let me see... First, I must
go where sweepers gather.
**[14:21] ---**
Hmm...
**[14:22] ---**
Let's see, which of these looks easy?
**[14:27] ---**
Kuro-*sama*!!
**[14:33] ---**
Aahh!!
**[14:40] ---**
Ow, ow, ow, ow...
**[14:46] ---**
Argh!
**[14:46] ---**
At last we meet!
**[15:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:07] ---**
A cat again!
**[15:09] ---**
If I remember right,
you're one of the Apostles of the Stars...
**[15:11] ---**
Right!
**[15:12] ---**
But I quit the Apostles of the Stars!
**[15:16] ---**
Huh? Quit?
**[15:19] ---**
It's just... I don't want
to fight you, Kuro-*sama*,
**[15:24] ---**
--and so, and so...
**[15:24] ---**
--Train, I don't think she's lying.
**[15:31] ---**
You really quit?
**[15:33] ---**
Yes!
**[15:34] ---**
Never mind that, I have
something I want to give you today.
**[15:39] ---**
What do you think it is?!
**[15:42] ---**
Ta-d...!
**[15:43] ---**
Hey, girlie...
**[15:46] ---**
Aren't you even gonna apologize?
**[15:46] ---**
You're hurting me. Please let me go!
**[15:50] ---**
Here!
**[15:55] ---**
Don't act so cocky!
**[15:57] ---**
It's a big mistake if you
think an apology would cut it.
**[16:05] ---**
I won't forgive you!
**[16:06] ---**
I went to all that trouble...
**[16:08] ---**
to make it, 'cause...
**[16:10] ---**
I wanted Kuro-*sama* to eat it!!
**[16:23] ---**
Train Kick!
**[16:29] ---**
*Kuro-sama!*
**[16:46] ---**
You're no longer one of them, right?
**[16:49] ---**
Uhm, no.
**[16:50] ---**
Then, don't use those powers ever again.
**[16:56] ---**
Kuro-*sama*...
**[17:00] ---**
Okay, I got it!
**[17:09] ---**
Hey, this is pretty good.
**[17:10] ---**
Wanna try some, too, princess?
**[17:12] ---**
*No thanks.*
**[17:14] ---**
Well, it's a bit spicy.
**[17:26] ---**
Why you! How dare you?!
**[17:29] ---**
Argh! It's hot!!
**[17:32] ---**
I wonder if I added too
much habanero pepper?
**[17:37] ---**
W-Water! Water! Water!
**[17:39] ---**
Water!!
**[18:01] ---**
So they've come in pursuit.
**[18:04] ---**
Please be careful, Kyoko-*san*.
**[18:19] ---**
Ow, ow...
**[18:21] ---**
Kyoko Kirisaki.
**[18:23] ---**
Yes!
**[18:26] ---**
Doctor-*san*...
**[18:56] ---**
What?!
**[19:04] ---**
Oh dear... If it isn't Black Cat...
**[19:09] ---**
Ha! Now this is a
very interesting development.
**[19:12] ---**
Kuro-*sama*!!
**[19:14] ---**
You bastard! What the hell
do you think you're doing?!
**[19:20] ---**
Looks like we've been interrupted...
**[19:22] ---**
I'll come back to properly
introduce myself, Black Cat.
**[19:27] ---**
I look forward to seeing your
appearance when next we meet.
**[19:32] ---**
What?
**[19:33] ---**
Leon, we're leaving.
**[19:58] ---**
Kuro-*sama*! Kuro-*sama*!!
**[20:01] ---**
I'm so sorry!! I...
**[20:04] ---**
Don't worry, it's just a scratch.
**[20:08] ---**
Kuro-*sama*!!
**[20:09] ---**
Ouch! Arghh!
**[20:10] ---**
The wound'll open!!
**[20:12] ---**
So, the bad luck was really...
**[20:34] ---**
What's wrong? The food's getting cold.
**[20:37] ---**
Huh?
**[20:38] ---**
Aren't you going to eat?
**[20:39] ---**
It's not that I won't eat.
**[20:41] ---**
I *can't* eat!
**[20:43] ---**
Of all food, why does it have
to be super-spicy noodles?!
**[20:46] ---**
Kuro-*sama*!!
**[20:51] ---**
H-Hey, why're you here?!
**[20:56] ---**
She's with the Apostles of the Stars!
**[20:58] ---**
You don't have to worry about her.
**[21:01] ---**
That's why I told her
that we're staying here.
**[21:05] ---**
You told her?!
**[21:06] ---**
Well... if I didn't tell her,
I thought she'd stalk you.
**[21:11] ---**
What?! What do you want?!
**[21:13] ---**
I came because I was worried!
**[21:15] ---**
I wanted to see if your
wound on your arm was okay.
**[21:19] ---**
I look forward to seeing your
appearance when next we meet.
**[21:24] ---**
*What did he mean by that?*
**[21:32] ---**
What's wrong, Train?
**[21:34] ---**
Kuro-*sama*?
**[22:04] ---**
Kuro-*sama*?
**[22:07] ---**
Train?
**[22:11] ---**
Y-You...
**[22:19] ---**
What?
**[22:28] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:35] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:42] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:55] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:03] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:10] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:24] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:34] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
**[23:54] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:54] ---**
*Train has turned into a kid...*
**[23:57] ---**
*due to the effects of the nanomachines,
just like what they did to me.*
**[24:01] ---**
*I'm worried about what
will happen to Train.*
**[24:04] ---**
*But, it's like I have a little brother
now so I'm a little happy about that.*
**[24:08] ---**
*It's a good chance to
teach him things like manners...*
**[24:13] ---**
*Train, for starters, you will listen
to everything Sister tells you.*
**[24:16] ---**
"The Kitty Cat"

**[01:00] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:03] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:06] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:09] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:26] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:30] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:32] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[01:37] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[01:38] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[01:45] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[01:51] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[01:58] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:04] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:10] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*

"The Kitty Cat"
**[02:38] ---**
I heard it's a rough neighborhood,
but it's a good place to lie low.
**[03:00] ---**
D-Don't laugh!
**[03:04] ---**
Ta-da!! Kyoko returns!!
**[03:08] ---**
We bought these...
**[03:09] ---**
Oh, you saved me!
**[03:11] ---**
I can finally dress normal.
**[03:13] ---**
Here you go, Kuro-*sama*!
**[03:15] ---**
Oh? Let me see...
**[03:19] ---**
You look so cute, Kuro-*sama*!
**[03:22] ---**
I've always wanted a
little brother like this!
**[03:27] ---**
Next!
**[03:30] ---**
They look good on you, Train!
**[03:32] ---**
You look cute, really...
**[03:33] ---**
Wow! You look lovely, Kuro-*sama*!
**[03:39] ---**
Hmm... looks pretty good.
**[03:43] ---**
Anyway, we have to think of a way
to get you back to normal again.
**[03:48] ---**
Not to worry!
**[03:50] ---**
If I just keep eating and
sleeping a lot, I'll be good as new.
**[03:53] ---**
You don't have a cold!
**[03:55] ---**
Actually, that may work for Train.
**[04:00] ---**
If you were shot by that weirdo
doctor in the Apostles of the Stars,
**[04:04] ---**
rather than this being
the result of Shinkitou or Tao,
**[04:07] ---**
it's probably something
related to nanotech...
**[04:10] ---**
Nanotech?
**[04:11] ---**
Right, nanotech...
**[04:14] ---**
Nanotech...
**[04:20] ---**
Well, it seems a little different
from Eve's case, though...
**[04:23] ---**
Eve... Nanotech...
**[04:26] ---**
Nanotech? Eve!
**[04:29] ---**
If that's the case,
**[04:32] ---**
then, I wonder if I have
"transform" ability, too...
**[04:35] ---**
Huh?
**[04:36] ---**
Transform...
**[04:37] ---**
Wing!
**[04:39] ---**
Huh?
**[04:48] ---**
That hurt!
**[04:50] ---**
Sven! My wings aren't appearing!!
**[04:53] ---**
Of course not, idiot...
**[04:54] ---**
Man, that sucks!
**[04:57] ---**
Oh well, I guess I have no other choice
but to take a walk on my own feet.
**[05:00] ---**
Oh, wait, Kuro-*sama*!
**[05:02] ---**
I'm coming, too!
**[05:13] ---**
I guess it's up to me...
**[05:14] ---**
Eve, I'm going to contact Rins
**[05:17] ---**
and try looking into this nanotech thing.
**[05:19] ---**
So, sorry to ask you this,
but while I'm out,
**[05:21] ---**
could you keep an eye on him
and make sure he stays out of trouble?
**[05:24] ---**
Okay, I got it.
**[05:27] ---**
Thanks.
**[05:31] ---**
Here you go, sweetie.
**[05:32] ---**
Thanks, lady.
**[05:35] ---**
You know, Kuro-*sama*...
**[05:38] ---**
This feels like we're on a
lovey-dovey date, don't you think?!
**[05:44] ---**
No, no... your small
stature doesn't bother me!
**[05:49] ---**
If we love each other, size is no matter!
**[05:52] ---**
My goodness, I said "love"!
**[05:56] ---**
I'll take you no matter what size you are!!
**[05:59] ---**
I'm Kyoko the Invincible!
**[06:07] ---**
*Usually, I can drink at
least ten bottles...*
**[06:10] ---**
*but now, I can barely finish one bottle.*
**[06:13] ---**
*It's not just milk...*
**[06:15] ---**
*Everything that I'm used to
seeing every day looks larger.*
**[06:20] ---**
*The town, the people, and...*
**[06:28] ---**
I got it!
**[06:29] ---**
Fool, don't get excited
about something like that.
**[06:32] ---**
This is how you do it.
**[06:35] ---**
Now, relax your shoulders more,
**[06:38] ---**
take a breath, and focus
all your attention on it.
**[06:42] ---**
And then, shoot.
**[06:48] ---**
What's wrong, Kuro-*sama*?
**[06:52] ---**
Kuro-*sama*, wait for me!!
**[06:56] ---**
Heya, Kyoko here!
**[06:59] ---**
Oh, Miki! Yeah, I know it's been a while.
**[07:04] ---**
Huh? Me? I'm on a date.
**[07:09] ---**
Hey Tim... give me your answer.
**[07:14] ---**
You'll leave that
deserted factory, won't you?
**[07:17] ---**
Ha! As if!
**[07:19] ---**
What? I won't be responsible for
whatever happens to that kid then.
**[07:24] ---**
Let Meg go!
**[07:27] ---**
It'd be better for you if you do
what I say while I'm still being nice.
**[07:32] ---**
Or, would you all prefer to live
together in peace in the netherworld?
**[07:37] ---**
Damn you!
**[07:50] ---**
Who's there?!
**[07:54] ---**
Bro!
**[07:58] ---**
Quit terrorizing people.
**[08:06] ---**
Get lost.
**[08:09] ---**
I'll let you go for today!
**[08:17] ---**
Hello?
**[08:18] ---**
Oh hi, Sven...
**[08:20] ---**
You're here already? That was quick.
**[08:23] ---**
So where are you now?
**[08:25] ---**
Behind you.
**[08:32] ---**
Yo!
**[08:44] ---**
Even if you ask me how to fix it,
**[08:46] ---**
I didn't find any info during that nanotech incident
**[08:50] ---**
at the Torneo mansion, so...
**[08:52] ---**
I see...
**[08:55] ---**
Is Train's condition that serious?
**[08:58] ---**
So far it's not that serious,
**[09:02] ---**
But there's no guarantee
that things will remain that way.
**[09:06] ---**
Okay, I'll try digging up
some information about it.
**[09:10] ---**
Thanks.
**[09:16] ---**
Oh! It's Tim!
**[09:18] ---**
Welcome back!
**[09:24] ---**
Welcome back, Tim.
**[09:27] ---**
Hey Layla.
**[09:38] ---**
Those gangsters beat
you up again, didn't they?
**[09:41] ---**
It's nothing. Just leave me alone!
**[09:43] ---**
What're you saying? You're hurt!
**[09:47] ---**
You said your name was Train, right?
**[09:50] ---**
Would you help us?
**[09:52] ---**
For what?
**[09:54] ---**
Gangsters are after this old factory site.
**[09:57] ---**
They say they want to build
some huge amusement center here.
**[10:02] ---**
And?
**[10:03] ---**
We want to protect our home!
**[10:05] ---**
In order to drive them away,
we need someone strong!
**[10:14] ---**
No thanks...
**[10:15] ---**
It has nothing to do with me.
**[10:19] ---**
Dammit!
**[10:20] ---**
Tell me your story.
**[10:24] ---**
We're all orphans.
**[10:27] ---**
Some of us lost our
parents in the civil war,
**[10:29] ---**
while others were abandoned
for one reason or another.
**[10:31] ---**
We all did odd jobs like polishing
shoes and lived a very quiet life...
**[10:37] ---**
That is, until the gangsters appeared.
**[10:40] ---**
Tim's parents were killed by gangsters.
**[10:44] ---**
So he's been adamant
about taking revenge.
**[10:47] ---**
Dammit! Why isn't he
here at a time like this?!
**[10:53] ---**
Who is he talking about?
**[10:55] ---**
The former leader of this place.
**[10:58] ---**
Our precious friend.
**[11:01] ---**
Precious friend...
**[11:05] ---**
Train...
**[11:07] ---**
Princess...
**[11:08] ---**
Tim is determined to defeat the gang,
even if he has to do it alone...
**[11:11] ---**
in order to protect everyone,
and to take revenge.
**[11:15] ---**
Revenge?
**[11:16] ---**
Yes.
**[11:18] ---**
Taking revenge...
**[11:21] ---**
117...
**[11:24] ---**
118...
**[11:26] ---**
119...
**[11:28] ---**
120...
**[11:30] ---**
121...
**[11:33] ---**
What's wrong?
If you stop to rest, you're dead.
**[11:38] ---**
122...
**[11:40] ---**
Drink, it's milk.
**[11:45] ---**
Don't want any.
**[11:47] ---**
Just drink it.
**[11:49] ---**
It tastes good and it's good for you.
There's no harm in it.
**[11:52] ---**
If you want to get strong, drink it.
**[11:55] ---**
Get strong...
**[12:00] ---**
That's stupid...
**[12:02] ---**
I'm going to stay here for a while.
**[12:05] ---**
What?
**[12:06] ---**
Because Tim is doing everything
he can to protect his friends.
**[12:11] ---**
I want to protect Tim and everyone here.
**[12:15] ---**
Princess...
**[12:41] ---**
So the burden on my shoulder
really is more than I thought...
**[12:53] ---**
You were too rash.
**[12:55] ---**
When you want to kill your enemy,
don't aim for his head.
**[13:00] ---**
The head is a small target,
so it's difficult to aim for.
**[13:03] ---**
Aim for the heart.
**[13:05] ---**
If you aim for the heart, even if you miss,
you're sure to hit somewhere else.
**[13:08] ---**
And, train to strengthen your arm.
**[13:10] ---**
You can forget about it,
if you can't handle the recoil.
**[13:14] ---**
I'll... kill you!
**[13:17] ---**
At least your desire to
kill is that of a man's...
**[13:21] ---**
Getting revenge, huh...
**[13:31] ---**
Such tight security
on every site I've checked!
**[13:39] ---**
This name...
**[13:42] ---**
"Tearju Lunatique...
an authority on nanotechnology...
**[13:46] ---**
Was active in various fields
related to nanotech at the age of 14."
**[13:51] ---**
I see. If I find her...
**[13:55] ---**
"Present whereabouts unknown...
**[13:57] ---**
One of her specialties is making omelets;
**[14:00] ---**
however, taste may vary."
**[14:03] ---**
Omelets?
**[14:07] ---**
"When heated, NaPO albumin,
the primary component in proteins, will..."
**[14:12] ---**
What the heck is this?!
**[14:14] ---**
Yuck! What's this?!
**[14:16] ---**
It's burnt black!
**[14:18] ---**
I can't eat this stuff!
**[14:20] ---**
Now, now! Don't be so rude!
**[14:22] ---**
But...
**[14:25] ---**
Eve, uhm...
**[14:29] ---**
Hey, looks good!
**[14:31] ---**
Huh?
**[14:33] ---**
Hey, what's this black thing?
**[14:36] ---**
An omelet.
**[14:38] ---**
Oh, did you make it, princess?
**[14:42] ---**
Have some...
**[14:46] ---**
Me?!
**[14:47] ---**
Oh! Big Brother's gonna eat it!
**[14:49] ---**
What?! No way!
**[14:50] ---**
You're brave!
**[14:52] ---**
Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
**[14:55] ---**
Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
**[14:59] ---**
Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
**[15:03] ---**
Eat it! Eat it! Ea...
**[15:06] ---**
--Whoa!
**[15:06] ---**
--Whoa!
**[15:12] ---**
It tastes normal... just a bit burnt.
**[15:15] ---**
Wow! That's amazing!
**[15:36] ---**
Can't sleep?
**[15:40] ---**
Until I came here, I always
gazed at the moon all alone.
**[15:51] ---**
Say Eve, let's be friends.
**[15:54] ---**
What?
**[15:55] ---**
Say you will.
**[15:57] ---**
S-Sure...
**[16:00] ---**
Thank you.
**[16:05] ---**
You're not capable of using that.
**[16:11] ---**
Did you think that you'd be able to avenge
your parents if only you had a gun?
**[16:18] ---**
I wonder if Tim and Leon will be
happy for me for making friends with you...
**[16:24] ---**
Leon?
**[16:25] ---**
The former leader of this place...
the one I told you about earlier.
**[16:29] ---**
He's away now, though.
**[16:32] ---**
What is it?! Are you gonna lecture me?
**[16:35] ---**
Don't do it.
**[16:36] ---**
I'm not saying to forget about
avenging your parents,
**[16:39] ---**
but you're the leader
of this place, aren't you?
**[16:44] ---**
Tim is always so rash...
**[16:47] ---**
so I'm always worried.
**[16:49] ---**
I mean... standing up to
those gangsters is too dangerous.
**[16:55] ---**
Don't forget that there
are people who need you.
**[17:01] ---**
If you die...
**[17:11] ---**
Why?
**[17:17] ---**
Why are you... covered in blood?!
**[17:21] ---**
It seems that I was...
**[17:25] ---**
one of the powerless, too.
**[17:30] ---**
What're you saying?!
**[17:32] ---**
Listen well, Train.
**[17:35] ---**
In this world, power is everything.
**[17:39] ---**
Don't rely on anyone.
**[17:42] ---**
The only one you can
depend on, is yourself.
**[17:45] ---**
Hold on a second!
**[17:47] ---**
You're my goal!
**[17:53] ---**
I'm the one who killed your parents.
**[17:56] ---**
And I'm... your goal... huh?
**[18:02] ---**
If you want to become
better than me...
**[18:06] ---**
live! By yourself!
**[18:13] ---**
Become stronger than
anyone and anything,
**[18:15] ---**
and prove that you're a survivor!
**[18:19] ---**
Train Heartnet!
**[18:27] ---**
I know that!
**[18:30] ---**
I know that, but I...
**[18:34] ---**
Eve, why are you a sweeper?
**[18:42] ---**
I have someone who cares about me.
**[18:45] ---**
Oh, a sweetheart?
**[18:52] ---**
What's that?
**[18:54] ---**
It's them!
**[19:00] ---**
Everyone, stay inside.
**[19:02] ---**
Tim!
**[19:06] ---**
Hey you brats! You're leaving
this factory today for sure!
**[19:09] ---**
Hey!
**[19:11] ---**
Where's that kid from earlier today?
**[19:13] ---**
Go away! This is our home!
**[19:16] ---**
What?! You damned brat!
**[19:23] ---**
Who the hell is that?!
**[19:47] ---**
Hold it right there, you brat!
**[19:51] ---**
Don't give us too much trouble!
**[19:53] ---**
Meg!
**[19:56] ---**
Ha! First, hand over his gun!
**[20:05] ---**
If I give it to you,
will you release the girl?
**[20:08] ---**
Sure.
**[20:15] ---**
What the...?!
**[20:21] ---**
Damn you!
**[20:24] ---**
Layla!
**[20:29] ---**
Wanna finish him?
**[20:32] ---**
You decide.
**[20:45] ---**
Tim...
**[20:47] ---**
Aren't you gonna shoot?
**[20:50] ---**
He's not even worth killing!
**[20:54] ---**
Don't ever show your face before us again!
**[20:57] ---**
Get out of this town!!
**[21:15] ---**
Where've you been?
**[21:17] ---**
Just out.
**[21:18] ---**
Sheesh! Who do you think
I'm running around for?!
**[21:22] ---**
Huh?
**[21:23] ---**
What's up, Eve?
**[21:26] ---**
*A sweetheart?*
**[21:31] ---**
No luck! Not a damned lead!
**[21:34] ---**
Kuro-*sama*! Where are you?
**[21:41] ---**
Train...
**[21:42] ---**
Hey, he's not small!!
**[21:45] ---**
You're... back to normal.
**[21:47] ---**
No way!
**[21:48] ---**
Huh? Oh yeah...
**[21:52] ---**
Making us worry for nothing!
**[21:54] ---**
Geez... All that trouble!
**[21:57] ---**
I wonder if the hot water made you big...
**[22:00] ---**
Train... you're just like...
**[22:03] ---**
cup noodles.
**[22:05] ---**
Wha?!
**[22:07] ---**
It seems Black Cat is back to normal.
**[22:10] ---**
Did the effect wear off? Or...
**[22:14] ---**
Well, whatever...
**[22:15] ---**
since we got some good data as a result.
**[22:28] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:35] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:42] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:03] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:10] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:24] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
**[23:54] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:56] ---**
*Hmm... Thinking about it, it isn't
too bad living the easy life as a kid...*
**[24:00] ---**
*How would you say it,
the burdens of relationships?*
**[24:02] ---**
*You don't have to worry
about things like that, so...*
**[24:05] ---**
*I mean, I shoulder
quite a few burdens myself.*
**[24:08] ---**
*What? Sephiria is coming to see me?*
**[24:11] ---**
*Oh, crap!*
**[24:12] ---**
*That woman is scary!*
**[24:15] ---**
*Maybe I should run!*

**[00:28] ---**
Wow, now this is a surprise...
**[00:32] ---**
to be visited by No. I herself.
**[00:35] ---**
If there is a mission
which only I can fulfill,
**[00:39] ---**
I would go anywhere.
**[00:46] ---**
Are you gonna ask me
to return to Chronos again?
**[00:49] ---**
No...
**[00:54] ---**
Draw your Hades, Heartnet.
**[01:04] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:07] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:10] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:13] ---**
*I now set off*

*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*

**[02:02] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:08] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:14] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[02:34] ---**
"The Distant Cat"
**[02:52] ---**
We'll form a half-circle and launch
a concentrated attack. Let's go!
**[02:58] ---**
Humph... They mock us
Chrono Numbers,
**[03:02] ---**
don't they, Nizer?
**[03:10] ---**
You bastard! Let Creed go!
**[03:13] ---**
It's too late.
**[03:15] ---**
This is the way... the Chrono Numbers live!
**[03:21] ---**
Creed!
**[04:00] ---**
N-Nizer!
**[04:06] ---**
Witness how the Chrono Numbers live!
**[04:33] ---**
Beluga!
**[04:44] ---**
Beluga!
**[05:04] ---**
The destructive acts,
**[05:05] ---**
by those calling themselves the
Apostles of the Stars, continue worldwide.
**[05:10] ---**
This video was sent
by the Apostles of the Stars
**[05:13] ---**
to news organizations around the world.
**[05:16] ---**
It also contains a statement
**[05:18] ---**
by the person considered to be
the leader of this terrorist group.
**[05:22] ---**
Please take a look.
**[05:25] ---**
My name is Creed Diskenth.
**[05:28] ---**
I am the leader of
the Apostles of the Stars.
**[05:31] ---**
To all of you who are watching this video,
**[05:33] ---**
I shall reveal the truth.
**[05:37] ---**
The truth about Chronos,
**[05:38] ---**
the secret organization
which controls the world...
**[05:40] ---**
and how it will meet its end...
**[05:44] ---**
Chronos?
**[05:46] ---**
What does he mean by control?
**[05:48] ---**
Never mind that.
Let's go to the beach.
**[05:51] ---**
Those who wish to be free of them...
**[05:54] ---**
Come join me!
**[05:56] ---**
We, the Apostles of the Stars,
will free the world!
**[06:04] ---**
Let me ask you just one more time.
**[06:08] ---**
Where is No. I?
**[06:10] ---**
I have no obligation to answer that.
**[06:12] ---**
Do you belong to
the Apostles of the Stars?!
**[06:14] ---**
No, I am simply...
**[06:18] ---**
one who harbors a grudge against Chronos.
**[06:26] ---**
The stability of the world is maintained
solely by the iron grip of Chronos.
**[06:32] ---**
However, in this past month alone,
**[06:34] ---**
over ten nations have announced their
intentions of cutting ties with Chronos.
**[06:38] ---**
Furthermore,
**[06:40] ---**
our existence is on the verge of being made public!
**[06:44] ---**
This all started when we allowed
Creed Diskenth and No. XIII's defection
**[06:49] ---**
from the organization!
**[06:51] ---**
And we are starting
to lose some of the Numbers.
**[06:54] ---**
We cannot let this
situation continue any further!
**[07:01] ---**
It's likely that the elders are considerably
toughening their stance towards Sephiria.
**[07:07] ---**
Dammit! If only we had
been able to defeat Creed.
**[07:10] ---**
Not only that,
we even lost Nizer and Beluga...
**[07:13] ---**
If you're thinking about them, then
wait until the right opportunity comes.
**[07:16] ---**
You can fight for them,
and bring Creed down.
**[07:20] ---**
I know that!
**[07:25] ---**
Until the last head falls,
Cerberus is not dead!
**[07:30] ---**
During a long battle,
sometimes you need to bide your time.
**[07:34] ---**
We will regroup our forces.
**[07:37] ---**
You focus on healing your wound.
**[07:39] ---**
Well, I doubt we have time for that.
**[07:42] ---**
Mason-*dono*!
**[07:44] ---**
Sephiria Arks...
**[07:46] ---**
Yes, Willzark-*sama*.
**[07:48] ---**
Can I expect that Chronos
will recover from this?
**[07:53] ---**
The replacements for Nos. X, V, and XI
**[07:57] ---**
are now being evaluated.
**[08:00] ---**
I should be able to report
on the results shortly.
**[08:05] ---**
And as for the former No. XIII...
**[08:07] ---**
The Apostles of the Stars
are still like newborn babes...
**[08:11] ---**
But given time, who knows
what monsters they will turn into.
**[08:16] ---**
You're absolutely right.
**[08:19] ---**
We must not let it get away...
**[08:22] ---**
a golden opportunity, that is...
**[08:27] ---**
Belze... as of this moment,
**[08:29] ---**
I am temporarily turning over
the command of Chrono Numbers to you.
**[08:32] ---**
VII and XII, please assist him.
**[08:35] ---**
--Understood!
**[08:35] ---**
--Understood!
**[08:36] ---**
And what will you do in the meantime?
**[08:40] ---**
Sephiria...
**[08:51] ---**
There's no reason for you
to go see him, is there?
**[08:55] ---**
There is something I want to verify.
**[08:57] ---**
Are you going to verify it
by talking to him? Or by fighting him?
**[09:02] ---**
Please hold the fort for 24 hours.
**[09:05] ---**
Got it. In your absence,
**[09:08] ---**
I will not allow the Apostles of
the Stars to step one foot in here!
**[09:29] ---**
I let him slip away...
**[09:54] ---**
Poke!
**[10:00] ---**
What's the big idea, princess?!
**[10:03] ---**
You're too slow, Train.
**[10:05] ---**
What'd you say?!
**[10:07] ---**
Don't get so worked up.
**[10:09] ---**
Since you said you wanted to do some
rehab now that your body is back to normal,
**[10:12] ---**
we're taking a vacation
and not looking for any new work.
**[10:16] ---**
--Yeah, yeah...
**[10:16] ---**
--He's right!
**[10:17] ---**
Before our measly savings run out,
**[10:19] ---**
get better so that you
can earn money again!
**[10:21] ---**
Yeah, yeah...
**[10:22] ---**
You're more worried about
money than your friend's health?!
**[10:30] ---**
Well, there's such a thing
as priorities after all, and...
**[10:35] ---**
What's the matter?
**[10:45] ---**
Err... nothing.
**[11:06] ---**
Draw your Hades, Heartnet.
**[11:16] ---**
Sorry, I don't feel like it.
**[11:39] ---**
I've left Chronos, but I have
no intention of fighting you.
**[11:44] ---**
Heartnet, this freedom you gained...
**[11:48] ---**
Is it the freedom to leave Chronos and die?
**[11:53] ---**
It's the freedom to continue living
the way I want outside Chronos.
**[11:57] ---**
Then, I want you to return Hades.
**[12:02] ---**
That's right... you're
the one who gave it to me.
**[12:13] ---**
Let us fight together...
**[12:15] ---**
for Chronos and
the stability of the world...
**[12:25] ---**
A gun is merely a tool to kill people.
**[12:28] ---**
Since you've sworn never
to kill anyone anymore,
**[12:31] ---**
you should not need Hades.
**[12:34] ---**
No can do.
**[12:36] ---**
For the lives that I've taken with this...
**[12:39] ---**
there're things that I have to do...
**[12:46] ---**
How unfortunate.
**[12:47] ---**
Then, it seems I have no choice
but to take it away from your dead body!
**[13:08] ---**
The rain was also icy cold that night...
**[13:21] ---**
Your mission...
**[13:35] ---**
So you've completed your mission?
**[13:44] ---**
Heartnet...
**[13:45] ---**
As you continue to fulfill your missions,
**[13:48] ---**
the day will come when you stop trembling.
**[13:53] ---**
However, you took a life...
**[13:56] ---**
you must never forget that feeling.
**[13:59] ---**
It is indeed the case that
we only fulfilled the mission
**[14:02] ---**
for the noble cause of Chronos.
**[14:04] ---**
However, we drew our weapons and struck.
**[14:07] ---**
That feeling, that moment belongs to you;
you must always remember.
**[14:28] ---**
While I was in the Numbers,
**[14:30] ---**
I had forgotten your words from that night.
**[14:34] ---**
But now...
**[14:36] ---**
I feel that I finally understand
the sentiment behind your words.
**[14:41] ---**
The irony in killing for a noble cause...
**[14:44] ---**
Chrono Numbers are the ones
who should understand it the most.
**[14:49] ---**
It's impossible, Sephiria.
**[14:51] ---**
When you're in a high place,
you can't see your feet.
**[14:56] ---**
Are you saying that's why you left Chronos?
**[15:00] ---**
You're giving me too much credit.
**[15:02] ---**
The life of a stray cat
just suited me better. That's all.
**[15:06] ---**
It's unfortunate, Heartnet.
**[15:08] ---**
It's true that there're
those in the Numbers
**[15:10] ---**
who feel no pain in
staining their hands in blood.
**[15:14] ---**
That's why I...
**[15:22] ---**
I intended to kill you
with my first strike...
**[15:25] ---**
I'd expect no less from No. I.
**[15:30] ---**
That was close!
**[15:31] ---**
However, you are already...
**[15:34] ---**
inside my barrier.
**[15:37] ---**
You will not get away!
**[15:39] ---**
Charden Flamberg!
**[15:41] ---**
A deserter of the Apostles of the Stars!
**[15:43] ---**
Deserter?!
**[15:45] ---**
You are truly the captain
of Chrono Numbers.
**[15:47] ---**
You know about me, too...
**[15:52] ---**
I'd suggest that you do not move.
**[15:55] ---**
I see... So this is
what you mean by barrier.
**[16:00] ---**
Black Cat...
**[16:02] ---**
I no longer have to fight you.
**[16:05] ---**
Please leave this place.
**[16:07] ---**
Why are you trying to kill Sephiria
when you've left the Apostles of the Stars?
**[16:12] ---**
Why? You ask me why?
**[16:17] ---**
What do you mean?
**[16:19] ---**
Chronos is a great evil
which threatens the entire world.
**[16:22] ---**
Didn't you leave the organization
because you could not accept that?
**[16:27] ---**
Well, the Apostles of the Stars are
just as bad as Chronos, aren't they?
**[16:31] ---**
You are absolutely right.
**[16:33] ---**
That is why I chose
the same path you took.
**[16:37] ---**
You, of all people, should be able
to understand my way of living.
**[16:41] ---**
Sorry, I can't.
**[16:45] ---**
That is unfortunate...
**[16:47] ---**
Black Cat!!
**[17:01] ---**
Now's my chance!
**[17:12] ---**
She found an opening!
**[17:35] ---**
Better forget it.
**[17:37] ---**
You can't beat Sephiria.
**[17:41] ---**
Chronos is a giant.
**[17:43] ---**
You've left the Apostles.
**[17:45] ---**
Do you think you can
defeat Chronos all by yourself?
**[17:48] ---**
That is why I became an assassin.
**[17:51] ---**
Even a lowly worm can bring down a giant
**[17:55] ---**
by directly attacking its central nerve!
**[18:00] ---**
How pitiful...
**[18:02] ---**
Then, you shall have your wish.
**[18:04] ---**
Don't, Sephiria!
**[18:06] ---**
This battle does not concern you, Heartnet.
**[18:09] ---**
She is absolutely right!
**[18:15] ---**
I will fight to bring down the great evil,
**[18:17] ---**
even if it kills me!
**[18:21] ---**
It's useless.
**[18:33] ---**
Stop!
**[19:06] ---**
Apostles of the Stars or
members of Chronos, I don't care...
**[19:10] ---**
I won't allow anyone to be killed!!
**[19:24] ---**
So this is your battle, Heartnet?
**[19:31] ---**
There are other uses
for a gun besides killing.
**[19:35] ---**
I learned that from my best friend.
**[19:39] ---**
Your best friend, you say?
**[19:43] ---**
Someone who taught me about freedom.
**[19:48] ---**
This is?
**[19:49] ---**
A bullet made of orichalcum.
**[19:52] ---**
I entrust this to you.
**[20:07] ---**
Heartnet, I will be looking forward to
seeing how you use that orichalcum bullet.
**[20:15] ---**
Sephiria...
**[20:21] ---**
I was unable to side
with the Apostles of the Stars...
**[20:23] ---**
nor was I able to bring down Chronos...
**[20:26] ---**
I am so powerless.
**[20:29] ---**
However...
**[20:43] ---**
Oh geez! Where the heck is
our breakfast cook wandering about?!
**[20:48] ---**
No breakfast today? Well?
**[20:51] ---**
I'm starving...
**[20:58] ---**
When'd he...?
**[21:05] ---**
Hey, it's been a while since so many
of us were summoned together, hasn't it?
**[21:09] ---**
Yeah, looks like things
are kinda serious this time...
**[21:13] ---**
Kinda?
**[21:15] ---**
So what is No. VI doing
at a serious time like this?
**[21:20] ---**
Both the captain and I are
keeping tabs on his movements.
**[21:23] ---**
So there's no problem.
**[21:25] ---**
I see. Acting alone, huh?
That's just like him.
**[21:29] ---**
Lin Shaolee, our newly appointed No. X.
**[21:34] ---**
As proof of your entrance
into Chrono Numbers,
**[21:36] ---**
I'm granting you this...
**[21:39] ---**
A veil made of orichalcum, Seiren...
**[21:42] ---**
Let us fight together...
**[21:44] ---**
for Chronos and the
stability of the world...
**[21:48] ---**
Yes, I would like to be of help.
**[21:56] ---**
Continue to carry your Hades, Heartnet.
**[22:00] ---**
But in doing so,
**[22:02] ---**
you must continue to prove
your sentiments and beliefs.
**[22:07] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[22:14] ---**
Sephiria-*san*.
**[22:16] ---**
I have an idea...
**[22:28] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:35] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:42] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:03] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:10] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:24] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
**[23:54] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:57] ---**
*What?!*
**[23:57] ---**
*Creed and the others
are on the wanted list?*
**[24:00] ---**
*And the reward is... 3 billion?!*
**[24:03] ---**
*Even if you're not a sweeper,
you just have to go for it!*
**[24:07] ---**
*Not! Who'd want to take a risk like that?!*
**[24:10] ---**
*I mean, they're a formidable bunch!*
**[24:13] ---**
*There's no way there's someone
dumb enough to risk his life*
**[24:16] ---**
*over a job like that!*
**[24:16] ---**
"The Cat and the Lizard"
**[24:18] ---**
*Oh, there is.*

**[00:22] ---**
Creed, there's a 3 billion
bounty on your head.
**[00:28] ---**
I wonder if they're trying to get
lowly sweepers to take care of us...
**[00:34] ---**
Such a futile idea...
**[00:40] ---**
Maybe... Train will see it and...
**[00:44] ---**
Oh...
**[00:47] ---**
This is getting interesting!
**[00:57] ---**
Akabane's good in the spring, huh?
**[01:02] ---**
Oof... whoops, sorry...
**[01:07] ---**
Oh?
**[01:09] ---**
You're a real tall one,
**[01:12] ---**
aren't you?
**[01:22] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:25] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:28] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:31] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:48] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:53] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:54] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[01:59] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[02:01] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[02:07] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[02:13] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[02:20] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:26] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:32] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[02:52] ---**
"The Cat and the Lizard"
**[03:02] ---**
Oh, he spit a fireball!
**[03:03] ---**
Yeah! You show 'em! Yeah, right there!!
**[03:06] ---**
Go for it! Yay! Yay!
**[03:08] ---**
Where's Rins?
**[03:09] ---**
She was determined to
sleep in a nice, fluffy bed,
**[03:12] ---**
so she checked into a ritzy hotel.
**[03:16] ---**
We've been sleeping
outdoors for a while, so...
**[03:19] ---**
I'd like a nice, fluffy bed, too.
**[03:21] ---**
A hard bed at a cheap hotel
isn't so bad, you know...
**[03:24] ---**
Looks like you're hard-up as usual?
**[03:29] ---**
What're you doing here?!
**[03:30] ---**
Want to know?!
**[03:31] ---**
No, I don't!!
**[03:32] ---**
Give me pancakes and coffee... black!!
**[03:35] ---**
What a way to greet me after so long!
**[03:39] ---**
Oh, your daughter looks well, too!
**[03:42] ---**
Like I said, she's not my daughter!
**[03:44] ---**
Hey lady, I want rice balls.
One with salmon, one with cod roe.
**[03:48] ---**
Seems like your family structure
is as complicated as ever...
**[03:50] ---**
They're not!!
**[03:52] ---**
Well, every family has its problems.
**[03:54] ---**
Cripes!
**[03:56] ---**
At any rate, he's late... your apprentice.
**[04:00] ---**
Well, he'll be here in time...
**[04:02] ---**
especially since he e-mailed me
and asked me to meet him here.
**[04:06] ---**
"I've found a big job. Please come
to the sweepers' café in Freesia Town."
**[04:11] ---**
A big job, huh?
**[04:13] ---**
I seriously hope so!
We're really in a bind here.
**[04:16] ---**
If we don't find work, we won't
be able to pay our tab here...
**[04:19] ---**
No tab this time, for real!
**[04:22] ---**
Oh, this divine aroma!
These must not be the usual coffee beans.
**[04:25] ---**
It's instant coffee.
**[04:28] ---**
Instant coffee at a café?
**[04:32] ---**
Anything good?
**[04:34] ---**
Pretty sad, as usual.
**[04:41] ---**
Three billion?!
**[04:44] ---**
What's with this ridiculous bounty?
**[04:46] ---**
What kind of man is worth this much?
**[04:50] ---**
Creed!
**[04:52] ---**
Hey, are you looking for a fight?!
**[04:54] ---**
Shh!
**[04:56] ---**
There's a reason I don't want
him to see this wanted poster.
**[05:01] ---**
Is this reason also complicated?
**[05:02] ---**
Uh-huh...
**[05:04] ---**
When did this wanted poster come in?
**[05:06] ---**
The day before yesterday, I think.
**[05:08] ---**
But the sweepers say the
reward money is so high it's scary...
**[05:10] ---**
They're all hesitant about it.
**[05:13] ---**
Well, there's no way they'd
offer such a high reward
**[05:16] ---**
for a run-of-the-mill criminal, so...
**[05:18] ---**
Then, there're people like him
**[05:20] ---**
who immediately come up
with a business like that.
**[05:24] ---**
A sweeper alliance?
**[05:26] ---**
I heard that they're
gathering elite sweepers
**[05:28] ---**
in order to go after that three billion.
**[05:30] ---**
*This is bad! Can't let Train
see something like this.*
**[05:34] ---**
Hey!
**[05:36] ---**
Another rice ball, please,
this time make it tuna-mayo.
**[05:38] ---**
And can you add a drop
of soy sauce in the mayo?
**[05:41] ---**
Okay, one tuna-mayo.
**[05:44] ---**
What're you doing, Sven?
**[05:45] ---**
N-Nothing!
**[05:47] ---**
Tuna-mayo is the best ingredient
when it comes to rice balls, isn't it?!
**[05:49] ---**
Tuna-mayo's really delicious, yep!
**[05:51] ---**
*Hhhmmmm...*
**[05:57] ---**
All right! I'll pay for the rice
balls myself! Cheapskate!
**[06:03] ---**
Bro!
**[06:05] ---**
--At long last!
**[06:06] ---**
--Hey! Calm down!
**[06:08] ---**
Right, right. We have to talk about work.
**[06:11] ---**
I heard this from an old friend of
mine who is an information broker.
**[06:15] ---**
Don't be shocked now!
**[06:16] ---**
Just by finding someone's pet,
you get 100,000, believe it or not!
**[06:20] ---**
--100,000?
**[06:20] ---**
--100,000?
**[06:22] ---**
That wasn't much of a reaction...
**[06:24] ---**
Of course not!
**[06:25] ---**
You made us come all the way to a
place like this for a measly 100,000?!
**[06:28] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[06:30] ---**
But... what're you doing over there, sir?
**[06:32] ---**
Leave me alone.
**[06:34] ---**
Oh I know! Eve, Train,
you two take on that job.
**[06:38] ---**
With 100,000, you'll be able
to sleep in a nice, soft bed.
**[06:41] ---**
I'll do it!
**[06:43] ---**
Hey Train, let's do it!
**[06:45] ---**
Well, I don't know...
**[06:48] ---**
Let's do it, Bro!
**[06:49] ---**
You'll be able to order *oden
*to go with your rice balls.
**[06:52] ---**
Okay!
**[06:54] ---**
All settled, then! I'm ecstatic!
**[06:57] ---**
Our client is Madam Freesia,
**[06:59] ---**
a celebrity, whose pet business
earns ten billion annually!
**[07:06] ---**
Oh, Flora-*chan*...
**[07:08] ---**
M-Madame!
**[07:09] ---**
I'm so worried about her, I can't sleep.
**[07:12] ---**
We are here, so you can stop worrying.
**[07:14] ---**
So, is she a dog? Or a cat?
**[07:18] ---**
Flora-*chan* is not a common
animal like that, dahling.
**[07:23] ---**
Of course not!
She's much more somber, isn't she?
**[07:26] ---**
She is the dream creature
that resulted from exhaustive efforts
**[07:30] ---**
by my Madame Freesia
Pet Company, dahling!
**[07:34] ---**
A monster?
**[07:36] ---**
Do be quiet!
**[07:37] ---**
Flora-*chan* is very lovely
and cute, dahling!
**[07:40] ---**
Of course! She's cute, right?!
**[07:43] ---**
So, what are her charming points?
**[07:45] ---**
Her darling fangs.
**[07:47] ---**
Certainly, fangs are lovely!
**[07:48] ---**
And her sharp claws.
**[07:50] ---**
And of course, claws!
**[07:51] ---**
She has a bad habit of
sleeping by day and waking by night.
**[07:54] ---**
Viva nocturnal habits!
**[07:55] ---**
What does she eat?
**[07:56] ---**
Raw meat, dahling.
**[07:58] ---**
She's a... carnivore?
**[08:01] ---**
Do you have a picture?
**[08:02] ---**
It's from six months
ago, though, dahling...
**[08:05] ---**
Oh, it's just a lizard...
**[08:07] ---**
Silence!
**[08:13] ---**
I sort of feel sorry for her.
**[08:14] ---**
Huh?
**[08:15] ---**
This pet Flora...
**[08:18] ---**
She was created by humans
just because they wanted...
**[08:22] ---**
And locked up against her will...
**[08:24] ---**
I wonder how she feels about herself?
**[08:27] ---**
There's no use in thinking
about that stuff.
**[08:30] ---**
Flora was born, so she's
probably living it up, dahling.
**[08:36] ---**
Don't say "dahling."
**[08:43] ---**
Job interview, open anytime...
**[08:59] ---**
Another small fry came...
**[09:02] ---**
Did you read that poster carefully?
**[09:06] ---**
It says "brave" sweepers
wanted, doesn't it?
**[09:08] ---**
In other words, you're not wanted.
**[09:11] ---**
What a greeting.
**[09:13] ---**
Beat it, you lame duck.
**[09:15] ---**
We don't need old men or women.
**[09:23] ---**
What're you doing, woman?!
**[09:27] ---**
Next time, I won't miss.
**[09:29] ---**
Why you...!
**[09:34] ---**
Friends shouldn't fight
amongst each other.
**[09:42] ---**
I'm honored that you've come...
**[09:45] ---**
former IBI agent, Sven Vollfied-*san*.
**[09:50] ---**
I am Grin, an information broker.
**[09:58] ---**
Hey! We're looking for someone who's lost.
**[10:01] ---**
Lost?
**[10:02] ---**
Madame Freesia's pet ran away.
**[10:05] ---**
Pet? It can't be!
**[10:08] ---**
This is her pet.
**[10:11] ---**
Flora!
**[10:13] ---**
Flora has... run away!
**[10:15] ---**
What's wrong? You look pale.
**[10:17] ---**
Aahh!! This is terrible!
**[10:20] ---**
Flora's loose in town?!
**[10:27] ---**
What was that?
**[10:31] ---**
Oh yes... this is the real me.
**[10:37] ---**
Oh?
**[10:43] ---**
All men go crazy over me.
**[10:48] ---**
Oh dear... What? Am I that attractive?
**[10:52] ---**
Aahh!
**[11:00] ---**
W-What was that?!
**[11:03] ---**
A big fuss over a lizard, dahling.
**[11:06] ---**
I said stop saying "dahling"!
**[11:11] ---**
Being a sweeper is a business, too.
**[11:14] ---**
In terms of efficiency, you should
always go after targets with a high bounty.
**[11:19] ---**
However, if the bounty
is high, so is the risk.
**[11:22] ---**
The reward for Creed is three billion.
**[11:25] ---**
It goes up to five billion for
all of the Apostles of the Stars.
**[11:29] ---**
So you can imagine
the risk is off the scales.
**[11:31] ---**
And...
**[11:32] ---**
reducing risk is a
fundamental of business.
**[11:36] ---**
That's why you suggest we join forces?
**[11:39] ---**
If we work together, we can definitely win.
**[11:42] ---**
And what's our cut?
**[11:43] ---**
Split evenly?
**[11:45] ---**
Of course.
**[11:46] ---**
I don't like it.
**[11:50] ---**
I agree splitting it with a kid like you,
**[11:53] ---**
who'll only get in the way, isn't fair.
**[11:57] ---**
I wonder who's the one
who'll get in the way?
**[12:00] ---**
What'd you say?!
**[12:01] ---**
You're pretty cocky, kid!
**[12:05] ---**
Quit fighting over every little thing.
**[12:08] ---**
More importantly...
**[12:10] ---**
Do you know the whereabouts
of the Apostles of the Stars...
**[12:12] ---**
or rather Creed Diskenth?
**[12:23] ---**
Of course.
**[12:35] ---**
Hmm...
**[12:36] ---**
Flora-*chan*, huh?
**[12:39] ---**
She looks pretty noticeable.
So, you'll probably find her right away.
**[12:42] ---**
Actually, we have absolutely no clues.
**[12:45] ---**
You must use your head
for something like this.
**[12:48] ---**
Use our heads?
**[12:55] ---**
I see! You're saying viva nocturnal habits!
**[12:58] ---**
You're so smart, Miss!
**[13:00] ---**
Geez! Why do I have
to come along with you?!
**[13:03] ---**
This is ruining my dress!
**[13:05] ---**
Aw c'mon... keep us company!
**[13:07] ---**
Man, this is the pits!
**[13:09] ---**
Whenever I get involved
with you, nothing good...
**[13:15] ---**
What was that?
**[13:16] ---**
Th-Th-That was...
**[13:18] ---**
Probably a carp or something
just jumped out of the water.
**[13:20] ---**
As if you'd find carp in here!
**[13:22] ---**
I-It sounded pretty ominous to me...
**[13:28] ---**
Something might leap out
of the gutter before long!
**[13:33] ---**
What's wrong?
**[13:35] ---**
I sense something.
**[13:57] ---**
Where is Creed?!
**[13:59] ---**
Once you become a member of the
sweeper alliance, I shall tell you.
**[14:04] ---**
Quid pro quo, huh?
**[14:06] ---**
This is business, after all.
**[14:10] ---**
It can't be helped.
**[14:12] ---**
And what of you others?
**[14:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:15] ---**
Fine.
**[14:16] ---**
We don't have a choice, do we?
**[14:17] ---**
Sure.
**[14:19] ---**
Excellent.
**[14:20] ---**
Well then, I declare the
formation of the sweeper alliance!
**[14:31] ---**
So you're a sweeper, too?
**[14:32] ---**
Don't you know?!
**[14:34] ---**
River Zastory is pretty famous!
**[14:38] ---**
Never heard of you.
**[14:39] ---**
So what's a famous person
like you doing in a place like this?
**[14:42] ---**
Well...
**[14:44] ---**
I got lost.
**[14:46] ---**
Lost? How'd you end up
underground like this?
**[14:50] ---**
I'm not good with directions!
**[14:52] ---**
So? Where were you headed?
**[14:54] ---**
None of your business!
**[14:55] ---**
Fine! Then, let's go!
**[14:57] ---**
See ya!
**[14:59] ---**
Well, we're in a hurry, so...
**[15:01] ---**
Good bye.
Uh, oh...
**[15:03] ---**
Just keep wandering around for a while
and you'll be able to find a way out.
**[15:06] ---**
There's something down here, though.
**[15:11] ---**
I-I guess it can't be helped!
**[15:15] ---**
So who'll be our leader?
**[15:17] ---**
We don't need one.
**[15:20] ---**
A group without an able
leader has no chance of winning.
**[15:23] ---**
If there's no one, I'll be...
**[15:25] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[15:26] ---**
You haven't got a chance.
**[15:29] ---**
But... he may be better than you two.
**[15:31] ---**
--What'd you say?!
**[15:31] ---**
--What'd you say?!
**[15:33] ---**
Cripes, what a bother!
**[15:35] ---**
Hey...
**[15:36] ---**
Do you seriously think that you
can have these guys work together?
**[15:40] ---**
I do.
**[15:41] ---**
They're not the type to listen to others.
**[15:46] ---**
You all are professionals, so...
**[15:49] ---**
Oh boy... now there aren't any walkways...
**[15:52] ---**
Where the hell is this lizard?!
**[15:56] ---**
Now that it's come to this, I'll
definitely make sure that we get the money!
**[15:59] ---**
And, why are you following us?
**[16:02] ---**
I'm helping you!
**[16:04] ---**
Having me around gives you
peace of mind, doesn't it?!
**[16:06] ---**
Yeah right.
**[16:08] ---**
Hey, why're you looking at me like that?
**[16:10] ---**
You want that money for your dress, right?
**[16:11] ---**
Having another person
will help you find it faster...
**[16:14] ---**
What peace of mind?!
**[16:16] ---**
It's close!
**[16:18] ---**
What was that noise?
**[16:20] ---**
This place really is ominous!
**[16:22] ---**
Geez, such pathetic men!
**[16:25] ---**
We have no choice.
**[16:26] ---**
Let's go in the direction of that noise.
**[16:28] ---**
--What?!
**[16:28] ---**
--What?!
**[16:29] ---**
Because it's certain that
there's something over there.
**[16:32] ---**
Not me! Definitely no way!!
**[16:35] ---**
I can't! I can't!
**[16:36] ---**
Huh? Why me?!
**[16:38] ---**
You said you'd help!
**[16:40] ---**
You're a famous sweeper, right?
**[16:50] ---**
Damn, it stinks in here!
**[16:52] ---**
This lizard is such a pain!
**[16:56] ---**
There's something that I want to confess...
**[16:59] ---**
T-To be honest, I...
**[17:02] ---**
don't like dark places.
**[17:05] ---**
Ouch! Hey, why're you just standi...
**[17:15] ---**
They're taking a long time.
**[17:18] ---**
It hasn't even been ten minutes.
**[17:20] ---**
He surely wouldn't have
abandoned us, would he?
**[17:26] ---**
Bro! You came back for us!
**[17:30] ---**
Bro!
**[17:31] ---**
Huh?
**[17:41] ---**
Looks like it grew this much in six months.
**[17:44] ---**
That's too much growth!!
**[17:50] ---**
What was that?
**[17:51] ---**
It's coming from below.
**[17:57] ---**
Its size was falsely represented!!
**[17:59] ---**
Reptiles often grow surprisingly fast.
**[18:02] ---**
What food can make them grow that big?!
**[18:05] ---**
Try asking the monster behind you!!
**[18:08] ---**
I can't go on...
**[18:10] ---**
If you stop, you'll be eaten.
**[18:12] ---**
Just keep running!!
**[18:14] ---**
I can't!
**[18:16] ---**
Bro! Make your escape
while I'm being eaten!
**[18:21] ---**
I'm sure you'd be a nice treat for Flora.
**[18:24] ---**
Train, don't shoot her!
**[18:26] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[18:32] ---**
She's upset.
**[18:33] ---**
Like throwing oil in a fire.
**[18:34] ---**
Take care of the rest!
**[18:45] ---**
You!
**[18:46] ---**
H-Hi...
**[18:48] ---**
Hurry up and get out!!
**[18:49] ---**
Oh right!
**[18:52] ---**
You'd better run now, Sven!
**[18:54] ---**
Why?
**[19:05] ---**
Huh? W-Why me?
**[19:08] ---**
H-He looks the juiciest...
**[19:10] ---**
Train! What the hell is...?
**[19:14] ---**
I'll explain after I've put her to sleep!
**[19:16] ---**
Don't shoot!
**[19:18] ---**
Dammit!
**[19:23] ---**
Hey buddy, get away!
**[19:32] ---**
I'll take care of her!
**[19:46] ---**
A tranquilizer bullet?
**[19:47] ---**
That's right.
**[19:49] ---**
Now she looks more like a pet.
**[19:52] ---**
M-Miss...
**[19:59] ---**
Th-This much?!
**[20:01] ---**
Wasn't it supposed to be 100,000?
**[20:03] ---**
That's for bringing Flora-*chan
*back without injuring her, dahling!
**[20:07] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[20:09] ---**
I'm taking my share for my dress!
**[20:10] ---**
I'm the one who captured Flora.
**[20:12] ---**
This was all thanks to Gallom and me!
**[20:14] ---**
I'm the one who knocked her out.
**[20:16] ---**
I'm the one who saved you, right?
**[20:18] ---**
That's not fair!
**[20:21] ---**
That was fine teamwork.
**[20:23] ---**
Did you plan this?
**[20:24] ---**
No way! This was pure coincidence.
**[20:26] ---**
But I was able to reaffirm
what sweepers are actually capable of.
**[20:30] ---**
Sven!
**[20:31] ---**
Come to think of it,
what were you doing there anyway?
**[20:34] ---**
Err... nothing.
**[20:35] ---**
Oh yeah, they're making
rice balls over there.
**[20:38] ---**
Rice balls? And maybe *oden*, too?!
**[20:42] ---**
That's right! Radish, vegetables,
and fish sausages, too!
**[20:45] ---**
Former member of Chrono
Numbers, Train Heartnet.
**[20:49] ---**
I would like you to join
the sweeper alliance, too.
**[20:52] ---**
Sweeper alliance?
**[20:54] ---**
Aahh! Leave him alone!
**[20:57] ---**
He's no longer...
**[20:58] ---**
Our goal is to capture the members
of the Apostles of the Stars.
**[21:03] ---**
Apostles of the Stars...
**[21:04] ---**
Hey, hey... they'll run out of rice balls!
**[21:07] ---**
First come first served for eggs in *oden*!
**[21:09] ---**
You know his whereabouts?
**[21:12] ---**
An isolated island in
the Adonia Sea, Kraken.
**[21:15] ---**
Creed Diskenth is there, too.
**[21:18] ---**
Creed is...
**[21:20] ---**
Now he said it...
**[21:25] ---**
A goodnight call to Kuro-*sama*...
**[21:31] ---**
Hhmmm!
**[21:33] ---**
Kuro-*sama*, what're you doing?!
**[21:46] ---**
Train!
**[21:48] ---**
So, he's gone...
**[21:50] ---**
To the Apostles of the Stars?
**[21:52] ---**
He's probably thinking that he doesn't
wanna involve us or something anyway.
**[21:56] ---**
He treats us like strangers...
**[21:58] ---**
You're just the same, Sven, aren't you?
**[22:00] ---**
Huh?
**[22:01] ---**
You joined the sweeper alliance
secretly... to catch Creed, right?
**[22:07] ---**
That fool...
**[22:09] ---**
He always leaves his friends behind...
**[22:28] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:35] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:42] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:03] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:10] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:24] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
**[23:54] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:55] ---**
*That darn Train!*
**[23:57] ---**
*Does he intend to settle it
with Creed all by himself?*
**[24:00] ---**
*I won't let you!*
**[24:02] ---**
*As if I'd let you have
the starring role all to yourself!*
**[24:06] ---**
*We'll definitely catch up with you
using my beloved car, so be prepared!*
**[24:14] ---**
*Oh, hey Rins...*
**[24:15] ---**
*sorry, but can you lend me
some money for gas?*

**[00:25] ---**
Kraken Island on the Adonia Sea?
**[00:27] ---**
I don't know it.
**[00:30] ---**
Well, if you want to go to the port town,
**[00:32] ---**
it's fastest if you go over that mountain.
**[00:43] ---**

"The Napping Cat"
**[02:26] ---**
The fog has gotten quite thick...
**[02:30] ---**
Bro...
**[02:32] ---**
We have no choice but to
wait until the fog clears.
**[02:35] ---**
No need to worry.
We'll catch up right away.
**[02:40] ---**
Where are Glin and
the rest of the sweepers?
**[02:42] ---**
They're taking a different route
and are headed for the port.
**[02:46] ---**
They said they're gonna get
the weapons and munitions.
**[02:49] ---**
Are you really going with them?
**[02:52] ---**
I'll think about it
after I get a hold of Train.
**[02:57] ---**
Wh-What is that?
**[03:00] ---**
I wonder if it's thunder?
**[03:03] ---**
It's the rumbling of the mountain.
**[03:06] ---**
It's been like this for ages.
On foggy nights, you can hear it.
**[03:10] ---**
The locals say that demons are fighting.
**[03:14] ---**
D-Demons?
**[03:16] ---**
It'd be wise if you stay indoors.
**[03:30] ---**
What's that sound?
**[03:39] ---**
Saya!
**[04:01] ---**
Saya...
**[04:13] ---**
We're alike, aren't we?
**[04:18] ---**
Saya!
**[04:26] ---**
Oops! I'm sorry! My hand just lashed out,
**[04:29] ---**
but, you suddenly jumped up like that...
**[04:41] ---**
Hm? Aren't you going
to drink the herbal tea?
**[04:49] ---**
Your body must be cold
from the night mist.
**[04:52] ---**
That will warm you up
and help you to sleep.
**[04:58] ---**
I was shocked when I found you
collapsed in front of the house.
**[05:02] ---**
I had such a hard time
bringing you to this bed.
**[05:08] ---**
Oh, but I'm fine because working
in the mountains has made me strong.
**[05:14] ---**
See?
**[05:19] ---**
Please don't stare at me like that.
**[05:21] ---**
Oh, yeah...
**[05:24] ---**
My name is Saki.
**[05:27] ---**
Saki?
**[05:28] ---**
Yes. What's your name?
**[05:31] ---**
Train Heartnet.
**[05:33] ---**
Train-*kun*?
**[05:35] ---**
What a nice name, it sounds
like a traveler's name!
**[05:39] ---**
Are you traveling alone?
**[05:45] ---**
Well, traveling alone is fine,
**[05:47] ---**
but it was reckless
to walk in the fog like that.
**[05:51] ---**
I wanted to reach the port by this morning.
**[05:55] ---**
Life isn't meant to be rushed, you know.
**[05:59] ---**
It seems that you're exhausted, too,
**[06:01] ---**
so drink that and get some more sleep.
**[06:04] ---**
What is this?
**[06:07] ---**
Want to know?
**[06:12] ---**
No... never mind.
**[06:19] ---**
It's bitter! No, awful!
**[06:22] ---**
Good medicine tastes bitter.
**[06:24] ---**
But you'll be able to sleep well.
**[06:55] ---**
What's wrong, Train-*kun*?
You look so serious.
**[06:59] ---**
I came all the way just to see you.
**[07:02] ---**
Hurry over here.
**[07:07] ---**
Saya!
**[07:15] ---**
Oww!
**[07:33] ---**
Oh, you're up!
**[07:49] ---**
This place is amazing!
**[07:52] ---**
It looks like some impregnable castle.
**[07:56] ---**
We all built it together.
**[07:57] ---**
"We"? There are others?
**[08:02] ---**
Well, sorta...
**[08:03] ---**
I see...
**[08:04] ---**
Watch out!
**[08:12] ---**
Wow!
**[08:15] ---**
Look, you...
**[08:18] ---**
Cripes! Is this some ninja residence?!
**[08:21] ---**
Or are you trying to kill me?
**[08:25] ---**
Sorry, sorry!
**[08:27] ---**
A woman living alone can't be too careful.
**[08:30] ---**
Hm?
**[08:45] ---**
Ahh! Milk's even better
when you drink it in the morning!
**[08:52] ---**
Hey, you're staring at me again.
**[08:56] ---**
Or perhaps, it's love at first sight?
**[08:59] ---**
N-No way!
**[09:09] ---**
So you like milk?
**[09:13] ---**
It's my favorite!
**[09:14] ---**
I can drink bucketfuls.
**[09:17] ---**
How do you get milk
so deep in the mountains?
**[09:21] ---**
Do you go down the mountain to buy stuff?
**[09:24] ---**
When we came here,
we all brought cows, chickens...
**[09:28] ---**
Anyway, we brought everything
we needed for everyday life...
**[09:32] ---**
so that we needn't ever go back down.
**[09:35] ---**
It sounds just like an ark.
**[09:37] ---**
Just what were you escaping from?
**[09:41] ---**
Well... there are
all kinds of things in life.
**[09:45] ---**
Hey, shall I show you around our house?
**[10:02] ---**
This is the library.
**[10:05] ---**
We wanted to keep
a record of our homeland,
**[10:07] ---**
so together we brought
them here although it was heavy.
**[10:12] ---**
A record of their homeland?
**[10:19] ---**
And this is the food storehouse...
**[10:21] ---**
though it's just a fruit-bearing
tree that we have in here...
**[10:26] ---**
Want to try one?
**[10:31] ---**
Oh, looks like it was overripe!
**[10:37] ---**
Why you!
**[10:43] ---**
I'll wash your clothes, okay?
**[10:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:48] ---**
The weather's nice today,
so I guess I'll hang them out in the sun.

Oh, you heard me singing?
**[12:14] ---**
Where'd you learn that song?
**[12:17] ---**
Hmm...
**[12:18] ---**
I've been singing it
ever since I can remember.
**[12:21] ---**
So even if you asked me,
I can't really say.
**[12:24] ---**
What about this song?
**[12:36] ---**
Yeah, it's good.
**[12:38] ---**
Aren't you going to eat?
**[12:40] ---**
You look so serious.
**[12:43] ---**
Are you worried about something?
**[12:45] ---**
You should be more relaxed!
**[12:48] ---**
Aren't you the one
who's worried about something?
**[12:52] ---**
Like what?
**[12:53] ---**
Don't play dumb.
**[12:55] ---**
This castle-like house.
Books from a faraway country.
**[12:58] ---**
Weapons I've never seen before...
**[13:00] ---**
And...
**[13:02] ---**
you keep talking about others,
**[13:04] ---**
but there's no one around!
**[13:08] ---**
To tell you the truth, we have
the power to foresee the future...
**[13:14] ---**
We were chased out of our homeland
by people who hated our power...
**[13:17] ---**
so we came here...
**[13:19] ---**
That's a crazy story...
**[13:25] ---**
We came here after being chased out,
**[13:27] ---**
And we've been protecting
something very precious for a long time.
**[13:36] ---**
Something very precious, which we
brought with us from our homeland.
**[13:40] ---**
Some treasure?
**[13:42] ---**
No...
**[13:45] ---**
Our future, perhaps.
**[13:49] ---**
Future?
**[13:57] ---**
I understand. I won't ask again.
**[14:15] ---**
Here you are.
Herbal tea for after your meal.
**[14:30] ---**
Train-*kun*!
**[14:38] ---**
I fell asleep again...
**[14:54] ---**
It's still not dry.
**[15:27] ---**
Th-This is...
**[15:32] ---**
Yeah, it's had it.
**[15:35] ---**
The garden's a mess.
**[15:37] ---**
It's not just the garden.
**[15:40] ---**
Who the hell did this?
**[15:42] ---**
They come around sometimes... wild dogs.
**[15:45] ---**
Stop fooling with me!
**[15:47] ---**
It takes more than wild
dogs to do all this!
**[15:49] ---**
It's a huge pack of wild dogs!
**[15:53] ---**
From ones that look scary like this
to ones that are unexpectedly cute...
**[15:56] ---**
About 30,000 of them run around...
**[15:59] ---**
Grrr, grrr, grrr!
**[16:11] ---**
Why don't you just tell me the truth?
**[16:13] ---**
Who are you fighting?
**[16:21] ---**
There are no others, are there?
**[16:23] ---**
I'll help you and...
**[16:24] ---**
Leave us alone!
**[16:26] ---**
How can I? After seeing this?!
**[16:29] ---**
Oh be quiet! This has
nothing to do with you, Train-*kun*!
**[16:32] ---**
Nothing to do...
**[16:35] ---**
You sure you really don't need help?!
**[16:37] ---**
No! Stop butting in and hurry
up and get off this mountain!
**[16:41] ---**
Oh yeah? Fine then!
**[16:44] ---**
I'll do just that once my clothes are dry!
**[17:13] ---**
Hey, are you really going
to be all right by yourself?
**[17:23] ---**
I'll help you.
**[17:28] ---**
I don't want anyone to die anymore.
**[17:34] ---**
Drink your herbal tea while it's hot.
**[18:17] ---**
There's a lot of you this time!
**[18:40] ---**
You fool...
**[18:41] ---**
there're too many
for you to handle all by yourself.
**[19:15] ---**
Game over.
**[19:18] ---**
Dolls are usually manipulated by humans.
**[19:23] ---**
You lend a hand to evil?
**[19:26] ---**
Evil? You mean Saki?
**[19:29] ---**
I'm talking about the *midorigo
* that she's protecting!
**[19:33] ---**
*Midorigo*?
**[19:34] ---**
Once it's grown and
is released to the fields,
**[19:37] ---**
there will certainly be calamity!
**[19:40] ---**
I beg of you, traveler!
Take my place and do the deed!
**[19:44] ---**
Destroy the seed of evil with your hands!
With that weapon!!
**[19:54] ---**
We were musketeers serving a
king who ruled in a faraway land,
**[19:58] ---**
which you do not know.
**[19:59] ---**
Musketeers?
**[20:02] ---**
One day, the queen bore
a darling crown prince.
**[20:07] ---**
But at that time, our gods
passed down this judgment...
**[20:12] ---**
"The crown prince was born under
a tainted star that will bring disaster.
**[20:16] ---**
Throw him into the darkness right away."
**[20:21] ---**
My comrades and I took
the prince and escaped.
**[20:25] ---**
After all, how could we destroy
the future of a newborn babe?
**[20:31] ---**
Even if this babe did
bring calamity in the future...
**[20:37] ---**
He's heavy.
**[20:39] ---**
That's how heavy the future is.
**[20:41] ---**
He bears the weight
of happiness and sadness.
**[20:47] ---**
But in order to protect his future,
**[20:51] ---**
the future of all my
comrades were sacrificed.
**[21:04] ---**
Well, I'm sure your
comrades have no regrets.
**[21:11] ---**
Because they were able to
make a run of it with you until death.
**[21:17] ---**
Aren't comrades like that?
**[21:25] ---**
Train-*kun*... where are your comrades?
**[21:31] ---**
They're all waiting for you.
**[21:36] ---**
Saya!
**[21:42] ---**
Owwee!
**[21:43] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[21:44] ---**
Shut up! Causing us so much worry!
**[21:48] ---**
Cripes!
**[21:49] ---**
You need another ten years before
you can try to steal a march on me!
**[21:52] ---**
You're like the bug flying
into the flame on a summer night.
**[21:55] ---**
Bro!
**[21:56] ---**
What do you think you can do alone?
**[22:04] ---**
Well, shall we go?
**[22:06] ---**
Hah! Who needs help from you guys?!
**[22:10] ---**
Bro!
**[22:11] ---**
Hey Train! Not again!
**[22:13] ---**
Hurry up and follow him!
**[22:15] ---**
Oh, yeah!
**[22:20] ---**
Out of gas...
**[22:29] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:36] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:43] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:04] ---**

*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*

*Well, we've come all the way here,*
**[23:57] ---**
*to the farthest port town.*
**[23:59] ---**
*And across the sea is the island
of the Apostles of the Stars.*
**[24:02] ---**
*Well, I guess I'll set my
mind to it and go for it.*
**[24:06] ---**
*Actually, I'd like to leave
Eve and Train behind...*

*But there's no way they'd listen...*

one worry after another...*

**[01:10] ---**
Hmph, you've improved.
**[01:15] ---**
They all seem to be in perfect condition.
**[01:19] ---**
I'm sure they will fully demonstrate
their abilities in the mission,
**[01:24] ---**
or rather, battle, that is about to start.
**[01:39] ---**
It seems the time has come.
**[01:44] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:46] ---**

"The Cat Deploys"
**[03:26] ---**
All preparations have been made,
so please rest and relax today.
**[03:31] ---**
And tomorrow morning,
we will set sail for Kraken Island.
**[03:36] ---**
It's finally time, huh?
**[03:46] ---**
What's the matter? Is something...
**[03:49] ---**
Train!
**[03:54] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[03:57] ---**
Stop, Train!
**[03:58] ---**
Train!
**[04:12] ---**
What the...?!
**[04:16] ---**
You're...
**[04:17] ---**
Ch-Chronos Numbers...
**[04:21] ---**
Yes, I'm No. X...
**[04:24] ---**
Lin Shaolee.
**[04:28] ---**
What's Chronos trying to do
by gathering sweepers?
**[04:33] ---**
Of course, the capture of Creed Diskenth.
**[04:37] ---**
Capture, my foot! You want his death!
**[04:41] ---**
As you say, Creed Diskenth's death.
**[04:45] ---**
Rather, the annihilation
of the Apostles of the Stars.
**[04:50] ---**
Annihilation?!
**[04:53] ---**
I see...
**[04:55] ---**
The Apostles of the Stars
are a nuisance for Chronos.
**[04:58] ---**
And for us sweepers,
they make good bounty.
**[05:01] ---**
So, it'd be a waste if you
don't take advantage of us...
**[05:04] ---**
Our target is the same,
**[05:07] ---**
so there should be no problem
in how it is accomplished.
**[05:10] ---**
How like Chronos.
**[05:14] ---**
They do anything to get what they want.
**[05:17] ---**
You're right.
**[05:19] ---**
However, Black Cat,
you can understand, can't you?
**[05:23] ---**
The reason why Chronos operates that way.
**[05:30] ---**
The hell with this!!
**[05:33] ---**
Now that we know
Chronos was behind this,
**[05:35] ---**
let's just call this whole thing off!
**[05:37] ---**
That's right! We're not
lapdogs for Chronos!
**[05:41] ---**
I don't quite care for this turn of events.
**[05:46] ---**
Sweepers don't take orders from anyone.
**[05:53] ---**
The ideal of Chronos is world peace.
**[05:57] ---**
Can't you understand that mind-set?
**[06:01] ---**
Bullshit! It doesn't matter
if we understand it or not.
**[06:04] ---**
We're not interested in Chronos' mind-set!!
**[06:06] ---**
He's right.
**[06:08] ---**
Don't take us lightly.
**[06:11] ---**
This is why you're sweepers...
**[06:13] ---**
What'd you say?!
**[06:15] ---**
Why you...!
**[06:17] ---**
You bastard!
**[06:21] ---**
When things don't go your way,
you immediately resort to violence.
**[06:25] ---**
So sweepers really are
just barbarians, huh?
**[06:30] ---**
What?!
**[06:31] ---**
River-*san*!
**[06:33] ---**
Then, you're saying
that erasers aren't barbarians?
**[06:38] ---**
After all, you're killers, aren't you?
**[06:40] ---**
You don't mince any words, do you?
**[06:42] ---**
Well, fine... just remember this much.
**[06:47] ---**
We cannot allow Creed Diskenth
free rein to do as he pleases.
**[06:52] ---**
He will certainly lead the world
on the path to destruction.
**[07:01] ---**
How is Creed's condition?
**[07:04] ---**
He is doing just fine.
**[07:05] ---**
The fusion of
the *ki* energy of Tao and nanotechnology...
**[07:09] ---**
The molding of unused cells and
giving form to *ki* energy substances...
**[07:13] ---**
Everything is going well.
**[07:15] ---**
When Creed awakens, tell him this...
**[07:19] ---**
Sweepers eager for a three billion
bounty will head there shortly.
**[07:25] ---**
Sweepers? Humph!
**[07:27] ---**
Such fools!
**[07:29] ---**
You'd better not underestimate them.
**[07:31] ---**
Black Cat is also among them.
**[07:33] ---**
I see...
**[07:35] ---**
All right. Leave the sweepers to me.
**[07:39] ---**
Just keep track of their movements.
**[07:42] ---**
Understood.
**[07:54] ---**
I can't stop laughing.
**[07:56] ---**
That's because the
sweepers will be the prey
**[08:00] ---**
for the weapons that I have created!
**[08:03] ---**
For the living weapons created
through the fusion of Tao and nanotech!
**[08:09] ---**
Right, Echidna?
**[08:12] ---**
You're going to take care of
them before Creed awakens, right?
**[08:17] ---**
Are you worried about Black Cat?
**[08:20] ---**
Well...
**[08:22] ---**
I just dislike cats
who are too mischievous.
**[08:45] ---**
No!
**[08:46] ---**
No!
**[08:47] ---**
No!
**[08:48] ---**
Can't you make an exception?
**[08:50] ---**
No way!
**[08:54] ---**
Why?
**[08:56] ---**
Everyone gets scared shitless
just from hearing the name Kraken Island.
**[08:59] ---**
Why don't you offer money?
**[09:02] ---**
You think I have that kind of money?
**[09:04] ---**
I just thought I'd mention it, is all.
**[09:07] ---**
We're like that saying,
"The poor have no money"!
**[09:09] ---**
There's no saying like that.
**[09:11] ---**
Hey!
**[09:13] ---**
Still can't rent a boat?
**[09:15] ---**
Shut up! Why are you coming with
us if you're always complaining?!
**[09:19] ---**
Can't help it!
**[09:21] ---**
The sweeper alliance
has practically disbanded.
**[09:27] ---**
I'd feel sorry for you if you were gonna
go to Kraken Island by yourselves.
**[09:31] ---**
So super-strong me will go with you!
**[09:33] ---**
Be grateful!
**[09:35] ---**
Huh?
**[09:36] ---**
Bad sense of direction, huh?
**[09:37] ---**
Yes, he's got a bad sense of direction.
**[09:39] ---**
Why, the last time, he got lost
and ended up walking along the sewer.
**[09:43] ---**
Don't say that!
**[09:44] ---**
Please take the boat out!
**[09:48] ---**
No matter how much you beg, no means no!
**[09:51] ---**
The currents around that island are
fierce and we can't get close to it.
**[09:54] ---**
Understand?
**[09:55] ---**
Um...
**[09:57] ---**
I'll give you my treasure!
**[10:03] ---**
Apologize...
**[10:05] ---**
to the girl!
**[10:07] ---**
Wh-Who are you?
**[10:09] ---**
A brave sweeper who's looking for
a boat to go to Kraken Island,
**[10:12] ---**
just like that girl.
**[10:14] ---**
Right?
**[10:16] ---**
Oh?
**[10:17] ---**
What?
**[10:18] ---**
Are you hurt?
**[10:19] ---**
No.
**[10:23] ---**
Believe me.
**[10:24] ---**
That island is cursed.
Better not go near it.
**[10:28] ---**
Sorry, missy!
**[10:31] ---**
Cursed?
**[10:36] ---**
Dammit!
**[10:37] ---**
And he calls himself a seafaring man?
What a joke!
**[10:40] ---**
Just watch me...
even if I have to swim over, I'll...
**[10:42] ---**
Can you...
**[10:45] ---**
sail a boat?
**[10:51] ---**
In Chronos' eyes,
we sweepers are just small fries.
**[10:56] ---**
Yeah...
**[10:58] ---**
But that guy said it
was for peace, didn't he?
**[11:01] ---**
Yeah, but the peace they're talking about
is one that fulfills their own interest.
**[11:07] ---**
That's a falsehood villains often use!
**[11:09] ---**
I shoulda let 'im have it then!
**[11:12] ---**
Damn right!
**[11:13] ---**
Next time I see him,
he won't get away so easily!
**[11:17] ---**
But I sorta understand what
that Shaolee guy was saying.
**[11:23] ---**
Huh?
**[11:24] ---**
I don't know much about Chronos,
**[11:26] ---**
but I think them trying to destroy
the Apostles of the Stars is a good thing.
**[11:30] ---**
I'm not smart, so I can't explain it well,
**[11:32] ---**
but if everyone in the world
can live peacefully, or happily,
**[11:37] ---**
I think that's good.
**[11:39] ---**
Mundock, are you...
**[11:43] ---**
stupid?!
**[11:43] ---**
We, sweepers, aren't champions of justice!
**[11:46] ---**
We work for money!
In other words, this is business!
**[11:50] ---**
Business!
**[11:53] ---**
But none of us are here for the money...
**[11:58] ---**
I know that much...
**[12:05] ---**
This is a personal thing,
**[12:08] ---**
but I'm very interested in you.
**[12:12] ---**
People even called you
the legendary eraser, Black Cat.
**[12:15] ---**
Why is someone like you
working as a mere sweeper?
**[12:20] ---**
That's none of your business.
**[12:22] ---**
Well, it is.
**[12:24] ---**
I've always thought...
**[12:27] ---**
that I'd become a member
of Chronos Numbers like you.
**[12:31] ---**
You, as an eraser, were indeed my goal,
**[12:36] ---**
and I really admired you.
**[12:49] ---**
How's this?
**[12:50] ---**
Err... well...
**[12:53] ---**
A box, an umbrella and tires.
**[12:54] ---**
Eve, that's rude.
**[12:57] ---**
You don't expect to sail
to Kraken Island in that thing?!
**[13:01] ---**
Hey, cut it out!
**[13:04] ---**
Huh? Err...
**[13:06] ---**
I didn't mean it like that...
**[13:09] ---**
Uhm...
**[13:13] ---**
Hey, this is a fine boat!
**[13:16] ---**
Awright! Off to Kraken Island we go now!
**[13:18] ---**
Row! Row!
**[13:21] ---**
It's impossible after all, isn't it?
**[13:25] ---**
H-Hey, where're you going?
**[13:27] ---**
I'm going to look for a bigger boat.
**[13:30] ---**
Oh, I see...
**[13:38] ---**
Is it revenge? For Saya Minatsuki?
**[13:44] ---**
It didn't take long to find out
the circumstances surrounding No. XIII
**[13:49] ---**
up until the time he left Chronos.
**[13:54] ---**
So there shouldn't be any problem.
**[13:57] ---**
Our target is the same.
**[13:59] ---**
Why not join forces against
the Apostles of the Stars so that...
**[14:01] ---**
I already told you. I don't trust Chronos.
**[14:05] ---**
Why not?
**[14:07] ---**
The sweeper alliance is a decoy, isn't it?
**[14:09] ---**
While the sweepers draw the
attention of the Apostles of the Stars...
**[14:12] ---**
the Numbers will attack their base...
**[14:14] ---**
I see...
**[14:15] ---**
so you have it all figured out.
**[14:21] ---**
And you want to say that
that is a dirty trick?
**[14:24] ---**
However, failure is not
an option for Chronos.
**[14:28] ---**
That is because our loss means
the destruction of the world order.
**[14:33] ---**
Hence, we cannot be
picky about our methods.
**[14:37] ---**
Err... missy...
**[14:38] ---**
I think you'd better go home soon
or your mommy and daddy will worry.
**[14:42] ---**
I don't have any.
**[14:43] ---**
Huh?
**[14:45] ---**
I don't have a mommy or daddy.
**[14:48] ---**
Don't have...
**[14:50] ---**
Oh!
**[14:54] ---**
Chronos bears a very heavy
responsibility on its shoulders.
**[14:58] ---**
It's much different from sweepers
who are merely bounty hunters.
**[15:02] ---**
Well, I'm a sweeper, too.
**[15:04] ---**
No, you are of the
same caliber as the Numbers.
**[15:08] ---**
Why don't you quit pretending
to be some lowly sweeper
**[15:10] ---**
and return to Chronos?
**[15:12] ---**
For someone like you, the elders
are sure to permit your return!
**[15:17] ---**
You don't understand anything.
**[15:20] ---**
I left Chronos because
I wanted to be a sweeper...
**[15:23] ---**
in order to gain the freedom to
think on my own and to live as I please.
**[15:30] ---**
I have no intention of
returning now... not one bit.
**[15:32] ---**
Freedom to you means turning your
back on justice and fighting for revenge?
**[15:38] ---**
I'll ask you one more time...
Train Heartnet!
**[15:42] ---**
You don't have any intention
of following Chronos' noble cause?
**[15:45] ---**
I'll settle with Creed myself.
**[15:48] ---**
And I won't allow Chronos to interfere.
**[15:51] ---**
I see...
**[15:53] ---**
I guess I still couldn't get you to see...
**[15:58] ---**
A sweeper can never win against Chronos...
**[16:01] ---**
because the responsibility
we shoulder is much heavier.
**[16:04] ---**
I wonder about that.
**[16:06] ---**
A stray cat sweeper may be living
with a much heavier burden, you know.
**[16:13] ---**
Shall we see about that?
**[16:27] ---**
What the...?!
**[16:35] ---**
What the hell are these things?!
**[16:38] ---**
Is this... no way!
**[16:44] ---**
Transformation?!
**[16:46] ---**
Ahhhh!
**[16:48] ---**
What's this?! It doesn't
look like it's just nanotech!
**[16:52] ---**
It's probably that "Tao" thing, isn't it?!
**[16:55] ---**
The fusion of nanotech and Tao!
**[16:57] ---**
So, this is the answer the
Apostles of the Stars were seeking!!
**[17:01] ---**
Damn you!
**[17:04] ---**
Are you all right?!
Monsters! Those monsters!
**[17:06] ---**
What?!
**[17:07] ---**
On Kraken Island, those
monsters took my mommy and daddy!
**[17:10] ---**
Then you were on Kraken Island?!
**[17:13] ---**
Daddy put the boat out and let me escape!
**[17:17] ---**
The island became full of monsters!
**[17:22] ---**
I see... Okay.
**[17:26] ---**
You stay put right here.
**[17:28] ---**
The sweepers will take
care of all the bad monsters!
**[17:34] ---**
Sweepers?
**[17:46] ---**
This way!
**[17:48] ---**
Are you all right?
**[17:49] ---**
Hurry and get away!
**[17:53] ---**
Let's go!
**[17:54] ---**
Yes!
**[17:57] ---**
It's useless!
**[18:05] ---**
What?!
**[18:13] ---**
What... What are you fighting for?
**[18:18] ---**
Huh?
**[18:20] ---**
Well, I'm a sweeper.
**[18:23] ---**
So, I'm just clearing away
things that get in people's way.
**[18:30] ---**
Can you understand?
**[18:33] ---**
Train-*san*...
**[18:39] ---**
This is what sweepers are all about.
**[18:48] ---**
Sweepers are fools.
**[18:51] ---**
Even though it doesn't
bring in any money...
**[18:53] ---**
they're fighting for strangers...
**[18:59] ---**
And aren't you one of these fools?
**[19:06] ---**
Perhaps so.
**[19:21] ---**
If you want to use us as
a decoy, go right ahead.
**[19:26] ---**
And we'll use Chronos.
**[19:29] ---**
That's fine by us...
**[19:31] ---**
I'm just glad you all came...
**[19:36] ---**
Mister!
**[19:40] ---**
What're you doing here?
**[19:42] ---**
Please... take me to the island!
**[19:45] ---**
Nope.
**[19:47] ---**
There are lots of monsters.
**[19:50] ---**
Uhm...
**[19:55] ---**
Then Mommy and Daddy...
**[19:59] ---**
Your Mommy and Daddy?
**[20:01] ---**
They're there!
**[20:02] ---**
Mommy and Daddy are
somewhere on that island!
**[20:06] ---**
I know it!
**[20:15] ---**
Okay.
**[20:21] ---**
I'll take on that job!
**[20:24] ---**
Thank you, Mister!
**[20:27] ---**
Be careful!
**[20:45] ---**
Huh?
**[20:50] ---**
The fusion of nanotech and Tao?
**[20:54] ---**
This thing seems
way deeper than I thought.
**[21:03] ---**
Where'd Rins go?
**[21:05] ---**
She said she had work.
**[21:06] ---**
Oh... What a busy
woman she is... as usual...
**[21:11] ---**
Although, there seems to be
another busy woman here...
**[21:21] ---**
You're... one of the Apostles of the Stars!
**[21:24] ---**
The world-famous actress...
**[21:30] ---**
Echidna Parass...
**[21:37] ---**
What's the big idea?
**[21:42] ---**
Anyone...
**[21:45] ---**
Anyone who tries to harm Creed...
**[21:48] ---**
will be eliminated.
**[21:50] ---**
That's...
**[21:58] ---**
Geez, that woman!
**[22:14] ---**
Creed...
**[22:29] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:36] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:43] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:04] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:11] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*

snow is building up...*

"Next Episode"
**[23:57] ---**
*Awright! We've made it to the
base of the Apostles of the Stars!*
**[24:00] ---**
*Train, I heard you have a complicated
history with the leader of the enemy.*
**[24:05] ---**
*Okay then, you just leave everything to me!*
**[24:07] ---**
*I'll restrain his underlings until
you attain your long-cherished goal!*
**[24:11] ---**
*Why, if I swing my knuckles,
these guys will be easily...*

*Holy crap! They're strong!*

Chronos is here!
**[00:27] ---**
Shoot! Shoot them down!
**[00:35] ---**
You've allowed the enemy to invade?!
**[00:37] ---**
Hurry up and surround them!
**[00:40] ---**
Aghh! Chrono Numbers!
**[00:44] ---**
So you know about us...
**[00:46] ---**
Arghh! Shoot! Shoot!
**[00:48] ---**
Out of our way!
**[00:58] ---**
Aghh! Run!!
**[01:00] ---**
You cannot escape my arrows!
**[01:06] ---**
Geez, what a flashy show
you all are putting on!
**[01:10] ---**
Today's cards are sharper than usual.
**[01:27] ---**
Apostles of the Stars...
**[01:29] ---**
The power of Chronos...
**[01:31] ---**
Experience it for yourselves!

**[03:08] ---**
The Numbers have engaged our troops!
**[03:11] ---**
They're headed this way!
**[03:16] ---**
The Numbers are on their way, Creed.
**[03:19] ---**
Creed! The Chrono Numbers are...
**[03:22] ---**
Chrono Numbers?!
**[03:24] ---**
Echidna, you know who I'm waiting for!
**[03:39] ---**
Hey, are you guys all right?
**[03:41] ---**
Where are we?
**[03:44] ---**
Kraken Island.
**[03:45] ---**
Where's everyone else?
**[03:46] ---**
I don't know.
**[03:50] ---**
What's the matter?
**[03:53] ---**
It's nothing.
**[03:54] ---**
It seems it's beyond this.
**[04:07] ---**
Why you...!
**[04:19] ---**
Are you the girl from that time?
**[04:21] ---**
Leon!
**[04:22] ---**
I haven't had much exercise lately.
**[04:25] ---**
I'll take you on.
**[04:32] ---**
Hmm... Looks like I can
have a little fun with you...
**[04:36] ---**
Promise me one thing.
**[04:38] ---**
Huh?
**[04:39] ---**
If I beat you, you'll leave
the Apostles of the Stars.
**[04:43] ---**
Huh? What're you saying?
**[04:46] ---**
Before you say such things,
worry about your own safety!
**[04:51] ---**
No one's around...
**[04:54] ---**
It's like a ghost town.
**[04:56] ---**
As it is... Elly's parents
are probably also...
**[05:02] ---**
The enemy!
**[05:06] ---**
We have a welcoming party, huh?
**[05:10] ---**
Well, let's do it!
**[05:16] ---**
Small fries can stay outta here!
**[05:20] ---**
You're...
**[05:24] ---**
Why don't you play a bit?
**[05:28] ---**
Dammit!
**[05:29] ---**
You small fries are really annoying!
**[05:35] ---**
Silphy!
**[05:52] ---**
What the hell is this?
**[05:54] ---**
Now, it's his turn!
**[06:00] ---**
Another one of those?
**[06:02] ---**
This one's different
from those half-baked samples.
**[06:07] ---**
I wonder if you can handle him.
**[06:09] ---**
What?!
**[06:10] ---**
Have fun!
**[06:13] ---**
Hold it! You won't get away!
**[06:16] ---**
Take that!
**[06:20] ---**
It's faster than the earlier ones!
**[06:22] ---**
Sorry to butt in from the side!
**[06:24] ---**
Snake... Fist!
**[06:30] ---**
Did you get him?
**[06:36] ---**
Bastard!
**[06:40] ---**
Wh-What?!
**[06:43] ---**
Fudou!
**[06:46] ---**
Are you all right?
**[06:48] ---**
Hmm...
**[06:51] ---**
Mundock-*san*!
**[06:52] ---**
You think maybe...
**[06:54] ---**
that even someone like me made
a bit of a difference in the world?
**[06:59] ---**
Yes!
**[07:00] ---**
Really?
**[07:02] ---**
That's good.
**[07:04] ---**
Please rest a bit.
**[07:07] ---**
I'll take over from here.
**[07:13] ---**
Comrades? What're you saying?
**[07:16] ---**
My only comrades are
the Apostles of the Stars!
**[07:19] ---**
The only comrade I can
trust is the power of Tao!
**[07:22] ---**
No, you're wrong about that.
**[07:27] ---**
You're so bothersome.
**[07:29] ---**
This is why I say girls are...
**[07:31] ---**
Oops!
**[07:34] ---**
That won't work!
**[07:37] ---**
Eve, if you ever see Leon somewhere,
**[07:40] ---**
there's something I'd
like you to tell him for me.
**[07:43] ---**
"We're all waiting here for your return."
**[07:47] ---**
Will you tell him that?
**[07:49] ---**
Yes...
**[07:50] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:51] ---**
Sure...
**[07:53] ---**
because I'm your...
**[07:55] ---**
uhm... friend, Layla.
**[08:05] ---**
Wind?!
**[08:12] ---**
You can't defeat me
with that level of attack.
**[08:35] ---**
You think you can hide in the water?!
**[08:41] ---**
I see you clearly!
**[08:44] ---**
She's so fast!
**[08:52] ---**
What the...?!
**[08:54] ---**
Transformation?
**[09:15] ---**
Why you!!
**[09:22] ---**
Dammit!
**[09:24] ---**
Why... do you fight?
**[09:27] ---**
For my comrades in
the Apostles of the Stars!
**[09:29] ---**
No...
**[09:30] ---**
your comrades are not
the Apostles of the Stars!
**[09:34] ---**
Shut up!
**[09:49] ---**
The legs?! It can't transform its legs?!
**[09:56] ---**
River!
**[10:05] ---**
River, now! He can't move!
**[10:07] ---**
Blast him!
**[10:12] ---**
I ain't gonna give you time to transform!
**[10:21] ---**
Geez, you've wasted our time!
**[10:24] ---**
Hey, River!
**[10:28] ---**
Look, River!
**[10:30] ---**
Yeah...
**[10:31] ---**
Looks like that was just the first one...
**[10:33] ---**
But we know how to beat them now!
**[10:36] ---**
I'll smash every one of 'em!
**[10:57] ---**
Ha! Nothing but small fries...
**[11:00] ---**
Then I'll take you on.
**[11:11] ---**
Well, here's a staunch... no, meaty one.
**[11:15] ---**
Sephiria, leave this ball of fat to me.
**[11:19] ---**
Ball of...
**[11:21] ---**
David...
**[11:22] ---**
I can handle this meatball by myself.
**[11:25] ---**
Meatball?!
**[11:26] ---**
I understand. I will leave
this hunk of flesh to you.
**[11:30] ---**
Hunk of... Hey, are you running away?!
**[11:34] ---**
Gravity Thrust!
**[11:37] ---**
Hold it! I said I'm your opponent!
**[11:41] ---**
I see... then prepare to be smashed!
**[11:43] ---**
Here!
**[11:46] ---**
Here goes!
**[11:51] ---**
What?!
**[11:52] ---**
It's useless, so useless!
**[11:54] ---**
I can manipulate gravity
to create a high-G-force area.
**[11:59] ---**
Any projectile weapon, bullets, whatever...
**[12:02] ---**
is useless against me!
**[12:04] ---**
Oh, thank you kindly for that information.
**[12:08] ---**
Die!
**[12:09] ---**
Gravity Bomb!
**[12:12] ---**
--Damn! I'll be in trouble
if I take a direct hit.
**[12:14] ---**
--Gravity Thrust!
**[12:15] ---**
--Damn!
**[12:19] ---**
You're not much, Chrono Number!
**[12:23] ---**
Take that! And that! And that!
**[12:29] ---**
If my cards don't work,
I guess I have no choice...
**[12:33] ---**
You won't get away!
**[12:36] ---**
Darn it!
**[12:44] ---**
Ha! You can go to hell!
**[12:51] ---**
What?! It's huge!
**[12:55] ---**
You or me? Who has the stronger bones?
**[13:09] ---**
Creed...
**[13:11] ---**
Creed is the only adult
who acknowledged me!
**[13:14] ---**
The Apostles of the Stars
is a revolutionary group
**[13:18] ---**
that will bring peace to this world!
**[13:23] ---**
Your back is wide open!
**[13:30] ---**
You can even do that?!
**[13:33] ---**
But this time, I'm coming from here!
**[13:42] ---**
Wha...?!
**[13:44] ---**
You can do anything, huh?!
**[13:49] ---**
What?!
**[13:52] ---**
H-How can I lose to
someone soft like her?
**[13:56] ---**
Why can't I win?
**[14:01] ---**
Why doesn't my power work against her?
**[14:04] ---**
I risked my life to become a
member of the Apostles of the Stars...
**[14:07] ---**
and I obtained the power!
**[14:14] ---**
Playtime is now over.
**[14:17] ---**
My next... my next
attack will end this battle.
**[14:21] ---**
I'll put all of my *ki* energy into it!
**[14:25] ---**
What the...?!
**[14:30] ---**
David!
**[14:37] ---**
Black Cat...
**[14:40] ---**
After all this time...
**[14:43] ---**
you have to see me like this!
**[14:45] ---**
But that guy looks
worse than me, doesn't he?
**[15:04] ---**
Death Twister...
**[15:07] ---**
I'm not gonna fool around.
**[15:09] ---**
This is my ultimate technique!!
**[15:46] ---**
What? Are you done already?!
**[15:48] ---**
I have lots left in me!
**[15:50] ---**
Hey, aren't you gonna run?!
**[15:52] ---**
Sheesh...
**[15:53] ---**
Don't tell me you'll be
a still target for me?
**[15:57] ---**
Hey! Don't take me lightly, girl!
**[16:00] ---**
Transform!
**[16:09] ---**
It's useless... even if you
turn your whole body into steel!
**[16:15] ---**
I cannot lose! I will *not* give up!
**[16:19] ---**
Because... I promised!
**[16:25] ---**
Why?! Why isn't it working?!
**[16:31] ---**
I'll crush you!!
**[16:43] ---**
Wha...?!
**[16:49] ---**
Can't be!
**[16:57] ---**
How... could... I have... lost?
**[17:08] ---**
Wh-what? Why're you guys running away?
**[17:12] ---**
We're all comrades of the
Apostles of the Stars, right?
**[17:15] ---**
Why aren't you helping me?
**[17:18] ---**
You lost.
**[17:20] ---**
Not to make-believe comrades...
**[17:22] ---**
but to your true comrades.
**[17:23] ---**
Shut up!
**[17:25] ---**
My only comrades are
the Apostles of the Stars.
**[17:28] ---**
True comrades share
something stronger than power.
**[17:33] ---**
Something stronger than power?
**[17:36] ---**
Yes, the strength to care about others.
**[17:41] ---**
I've lost. So kill me.
**[17:44] ---**
My goal is not to take your life.
**[17:49] ---**
All I want is stop you
from abusing your power.
**[17:56] ---**
I hate grown-ups who don't make sense.
**[18:00] ---**
Everyone died because
of unreasonable adults.
**[18:04] ---**
They start pointless wars...
**[18:07] ---**
without a thought for
those who are left behind.
**[18:11] ---**
Leon...
**[18:13] ---**
Every day was hell.
**[18:16] ---**
It took everything just to survive.
**[18:19] ---**
That's why I wanted power.
**[18:22] ---**
Then I'd change this world...
**[18:25] ---**
and create a future
for those of us left behind.
**[18:29] ---**
I wanted a world of happiness.
**[18:33] ---**
People are living happily,
without your doing so.
**[18:38] ---**
You're a strange one.
**[18:41] ---**
You're just like a girl I know.
**[18:44] ---**
Yes, that's right...
**[18:47] ---**
because I'm Layla's friend.
**[18:51] ---**
I see...
**[18:53] ---**
Say...
**[18:54] ---**
Yes?
**[18:56] ---**
Was I... wrong?
**[18:59] ---**
No...
**[19:00] ---**
you just took a detour, that's all.
**[19:09] ---**
It seems Leon has lost...
**[19:12] ---**
What'll you do, Creed?
**[19:15] ---**
Leon?
**[19:18] ---**
I don't know anyone by that name.
**[19:24] ---**
Wh-What the...?!
**[19:27] ---**
Sven!
**[19:29] ---**
Eve! Are you all right?
**[19:31] ---**
Uh-huh...
**[19:32] ---**
You guys want to find Creed, right?
**[19:37] ---**
It's useless. No one can top Creed.
**[19:41] ---**
His... his power right now is...
**[19:53] ---**
Are you all right, Gallom?
**[19:54] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:55] ---**
Gallom... how about
we do it like old times?
**[19:57] ---**
Looks like the time has come to do it.
**[20:00] ---**
--Let's go!
**[20:00] ---**
--Let's go!
**[20:02] ---**
--You'll regret this!
**[20:02] ---**
--You'll regret this!
**[20:04] ---**
--We'll fight you someday!
**[20:04] ---**
--We'll fight you someday!
**[20:06] ---**
--Arghh! Dammit!
**[20:06] ---**
--Arghh! Dammit!
**[20:16] ---**
Eve! Sven!
**[20:18] ---**
Train!
**[20:21] ---**
You all right?
**[20:22] ---**
Yes.
**[20:23] ---**
This is it. Stay on your gua...
**[20:26] ---**
What's going on?!
**[20:27] ---**
Silphy!
**[20:32] ---**
You're...
**[20:33] ---**
Preta Ghoul!
**[20:37] ---**
I'll kill each and every sweeper!
**[20:40] ---**
I'll dissolve you all one after another!
**[20:42] ---**
And you can rot to death!
**[20:44] ---**
That power... is also Tao Power!
**[20:47] ---**
Train, leave him to me.
**[20:51] ---**
You go to Creed!
**[20:53] ---**
Sven!
**[20:54] ---**
I'm a gentleman,
**[20:57] ---**
and I won't stand for anyone
treating a woman this way!
**[21:06] ---**
Well then, let's start the show, shall we?!
**[21:10] ---**
You ought to just give up now!!
**[21:23] ---**
Creed-*sama*! Chrono Numbers' No. I
is in the passage on the third floor!
**[21:32] ---**
Soon... It'll soon be complete, Train!

Intent and Friendship,"

There!

What?!

I thought I said it's useless.

**[03:42] ---**
Die, Saya Minatsuki!
**[03:47] ---**
Hold it! She's not Saya!
**[03:50] ---**
It's useless, Sven.
**[03:51] ---**
He can't hear you at all.
**[03:54] ---**
Well, we have no
choice but to run for now!
**[04:35] ---**
Not bad...
**[04:38] ---**
But I want more...
**[04:39] ---**
I want a fierce melody.
**[04:42] ---**
More fierce...
**[04:46] ---**
and more sensual melody...
**[05:03] ---**
It's a pretty nice tune...
**[05:06] ---**
That amazing determination
and fighting sprit...
**[05:08] ---**
Or rather, is this pleasant
feeling "murderous intent"?
**[05:31] ---**
Arks Sword style,
the 36th Finishing Stroke...
**[05:36] ---**
"Death World"!
**[05:37] ---**
Before the Wisdom King,
become ash without pain and suffering,
**[05:42] ---**
Creed Diskenth!
**[05:49] ---**
Th-This is...?!
**[06:00] ---**
It is finally complete...
**[06:02] ---**
my ultimate power!
**[06:05] ---**
Ultimate power?
**[06:07] ---**
No matter how critical the injury is,
I am able to heal myself instantly...
**[06:11] ---**
I can also live eternally.
**[06:15] ---**
I have indeed become a "god."
**[06:26] ---**
Where are you?!
**[06:28] ---**
Where are you, Saya Minatsuki?!
**[06:34] ---**
Come on out!
**[06:38] ---**
There you are!!
**[06:40] ---**
Rot, Saya Minatsuki!
**[06:45] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:50] ---**
Why you! What're you trying to do?!
**[06:54] ---**
Your shirt stayed on you
even though you dissolve anything...
**[07:00] ---**
In other words, this shirt
shouldn't rot and fall, right?
**[07:06] ---**
Strike the gong, Eve.
**[07:11] ---**
Come then!
**[07:13] ---**
Vision Eye... on!
**[07:21] ---**
Too bad.
**[07:23] ---**
After all, it seems the symphony can't be
finished with you as an opponent, Sephiria.
**[07:29] ---**
This "Song of Murderous
Intent and Friendship"
**[07:32] ---**
requires harmony with my true partner...
**[07:36] ---**
With Train Heartnet, that is...
**[07:40] ---**
Heartnet!
**[07:42] ---**
Yes! Train is the one with whom
**[07:45] ---**
I can change this world into "paradise,"
**[07:49] ---**
and who is suitable to reign
together with me as a god!
**[07:54] ---**
The paradise... you desire...
**[08:00] ---**
It's different from the
false peace under Chronos' rule.
**[08:06] ---**
Train and I will choose
who deserves to live,
**[08:10] ---**
and the rest of the
trash will be eliminated.
**[08:13] ---**
It will be a peaceful paradise
filled with murderous intent.
**[08:16] ---**
Ridiculous!
**[08:19] ---**
Such a ridiculous dream...
**[08:21] ---**
I cannot let it become...
**[08:26] ---**
reality!!
**[08:29] ---**
Yes, I know...
**[08:31] ---**
Train!
**[08:32] ---**
I have to eliminate this obstructive
melody before you come, right?!
**[08:48] ---**
The fate of those who defy God...
**[08:54] ---**
How pitiful...
**[08:56] ---**
Farewell, Sephiria Arks.
**[08:59] ---**
Rest in peace.
**[09:16] ---**
For heaven's sake!
**[09:19] ---**
It seems "The Song of Murderous
Intent and Friendship"
**[09:23] ---**
will be unfinished...
**[09:39] ---**
I've come...
**[09:41] ---**
to bring you bad luck!
**[09:46] ---**
Train...
**[09:48] ---**
No, Black Cat...
**[09:52] ---**
You are the one and only man I respected.
**[09:57] ---**
That's why... that's why
I cannot accept it!
**[10:01] ---**
That the only way to release
you from the hold of that witch...
**[10:05] ---**
is to kill you!!
**[10:10] ---**
I don't think of you as Train any longer!
**[10:14] ---**
I will kill you without fail!
**[10:28] ---**
*It's useless, Preta Ghoul.*
**[10:30] ---**
*My Vision Eye can clearly see
your next one hundred punches!*
**[10:53] ---**
It's useless!
**[10:55] ---**
This sword is... a part of me!
**[11:27] ---**
Of all things...
**[11:29] ---**
that witch's trick...
**[11:38] ---**
You should know that you can't
bring me down with an attack like that,
**[11:44] ---**
since I've become a god...
**[12:01] ---**
See? Good as new already.
**[12:05] ---**
What'll you do?
**[12:08] ---**
The way I am now,
you can shoot through my head,
**[12:11] ---**
but as long as there's one fragment
of my brain left, I can regenerate.
**[12:19] ---**
Use that!
**[12:21] ---**
Sephiria!
**[12:22] ---**
Your Hades...
**[12:25] ---**
can demonstrate its ultimate power
**[12:29] ---**
only by using that "orichalcum bullet."
**[12:34] ---**
No matter what your target is,
**[12:37] ---**
it will be able to instantly destroy
the target down to the molecular structure.
**[12:47] ---**
Sorry, Sephiria.
**[12:49] ---**
I didn't come here to kill Creed.
**[12:53] ---**
I came to take him
into custody as a sweeper!
**[12:57] ---**
Oh, stop!
**[13:00] ---**
I've had enough!
**[13:03] ---**
Now that the song ended unfinished...
**[13:05] ---**
I wanted this painting at least,
**[13:08] ---**
to be finished by dyeing these
eyes crimson with your blood...
**[13:12] ---**
No, with your blood and mine!
**[13:17] ---**
But with the way you are now,
**[13:20] ---**
red just doesn't suit the image I have.
**[13:25] ---**
Because when one loses
his murderous intent,
**[13:27] ---**
the beautiful red isn't suitable.
**[13:31] ---**
And!
**[13:34] ---**
All that was needed
to complete this statue
**[13:37] ---**
was to carve your
murderous look on those eyes!
**[13:42] ---**
But now, I don't even know
which way to turn those eyes.
**[14:16] ---**
What?!
**[14:43] ---**
Heartnet!
**[14:47] ---**
Shoot, Heartnet!
**[14:49] ---**
Fire that orichalcum bullet!
**[15:00] ---**
Since this sword is part of you...
**[15:03] ---**
if I break it apart, your
heart will be destroyed, too!
**[15:10] ---**
Break apart!!
**[15:26] ---**
Too bad...
**[15:28] ---**
The disappointment and anger over you
**[15:30] ---**
felt by my Imagine Blade
makes its strength so great...
**[15:33] ---**
that not even your
orichalcum bullet can destroy it.
**[15:39] ---**
Oh?
**[15:44] ---**
I see...
**[15:46] ---**
So that's the orichalcum bullet.
**[15:49] ---**
Fine...
**[15:52] ---**
Go ahead and shoot
through my head with that bullet.
**[15:56] ---**
You may be able to defeat me.
**[16:01] ---**
Don't make me repeat it!
**[16:03] ---**
It'd be meaningless if I killed you.
**[16:07] ---**
You have to live and start over.
**[16:11] ---**
To make up for all those you've killed.
**[16:13] ---**
And, of course, for Saya too.
**[16:17] ---**
And like me...
**[16:19] ---**
Saya is probably wishing the same thing.
**[16:27] ---**
That witch again!
**[16:33] ---**
Damned witch! That witch!
**[16:35] ---**
That witch! That damned witch!!
**[16:45] ---**
Dammit!
**[16:51] ---**
I feel so sad, Train.
**[16:54] ---**
I wanted to create it with you...
**[16:57] ---**
the eternal paradise.
**[17:12] ---**
Saya!
**[17:21] ---**
Damn you, what nerve...
**[17:24] ---**
You damn witch!!
**[17:27] ---**
Train-*kun*...
**[17:29] ---**
the way sweepers do things...
**[17:34] ---**
Let's show it to him...
**[17:37] ---**
Shatter into pieces!
**[18:03] ---**
Why aren't you killing me?
**[18:06] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[18:09] ---**
We're sweepers, that's why.
**[18:16] ---**
Next!
**[18:17] ---**
No one's left.
**[18:19] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:19] ---**
He cleaned up most of them.
**[18:24] ---**
Well, I just did it
to take my mind off things.
**[18:27] ---**
Ha! Show-off!
**[18:33] ---**
You people are...
**[18:37] ---**
It's over, everyone.
**[18:42] ---**
Yes, the battle is over.
**[18:46] ---**
Sephiria-*san* or Creed...
**[18:48] ---**
It's over no matter who won...
**[18:54] ---**
Heartnet...
**[18:56] ---**
Why?
**[18:57] ---**
That's the way of a sweeper.
**[19:36] ---**
*Let's sing the song*
**[19:43] ---**
*Let's sing the world's song*
**[19:50] ---**
*how far shall we go*
**[19:58] ---**
*Looking up in the sky*
**[20:05] ---**
*A baby's first cry*
**[20:11] ---**
--Echidna...
**[20:12] ---**
--*The beating of an insect's wings...*
**[20:14] ---**
--Can you do it, Eve?
**[20:16] ---**
--Uh-huh...
**[20:19] ---**
-- *Lightly, lightly*
**[20:22] ---**
--Wh-What're you going to do?!
**[20:23] ---**
--*Floating*
**[20:24] ---**
--The nanomachines for
immortality inside your body...
**[20:27] ---**
--*Carrying our feelings*
**[20:28] ---**
--I think they can be destroyed
if I send my nanomachines into your body.
**[20:33] ---**
N-No!
**[20:35] ---**
Stop!
**[20:36] ---**
I was finally able to
attain the power of a god!
**[20:40] ---**
I don't want to become a mortal again!
**[20:43] ---**
I'd rather die by your hands, Train!
**[20:46] ---**
Can't do that.
**[20:48] ---**
Live like a human,
bearing the burdens of mortal life...
**[20:52] ---**
in this world, which you
say is rotten to the core.
**[20:57] ---**
Live as a human being.
**[20:59] ---**
No!!
**[21:12] ---**
You really sure about this?
**[21:15] ---**
Do whatever you like...
**[21:17] ---**
Just take care of that fool.
**[21:23] ---**
Why didn't you stop them for me?
**[21:27] ---**
To tell you the truth,
**[21:29] ---**
I've always wanted you to stay just a human.
**[21:34] ---**
Because I was afraid
you'd go beyond my reach.
**[21:40] ---**
Let's go somewhere far and rest.
**[21:43] ---**
It's going to be all right.
**[21:45] ---**
I'll protect you.
**[21:50] ---**
Making him atone for his
sins with life rather than death.
**[21:55] ---**
That was your answer that you
came to, wasn't it, Heartnet?
**[22:08] ---**
What the...?!
**[22:10] ---**
What's going on?
**[22:15] ---**
The time has come to say goodbye.
**[22:18] ---**
That is all.
**[22:29] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:36] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:43] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:04] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:11] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:25] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:55] ---**
*The vicious battle has ended.*
**[23:58] ---**
*After putting an end to a long battle,*
**[24:00] ---**
*it looks like Train has
taken a load off his mind.*

*Sven, too... and the others as well.*
**[24:06] ---**
*They're all happy that
the world will become peaceful.*
**[24:10] ---**
*But I... feel as though
my heart is being squeezed tight.*

Ellie!
**[00:27] ---**
Thank god...
**[00:31] ---**
Isn't this great, Ellie?
**[00:34] ---**
Thank you, Mister!
**[00:37] ---**
Well, you know...
**[00:39] ---**
Just doin' my job!
**[00:41] ---**
I even got paid up front, so...
**[00:46] ---**
--Thank you very much!
**[00:47] ---**
--Thank you very much!
**[00:49] ---**
It's over.
**[00:50] ---**
Yup.
**[00:53] ---**
How big you've grown, Ellie!
**[00:55] ---**
Having a family... is nice.

"The Lost Cat"
**[02:46] ---**
Hm? What is this?
**[02:49] ---**
Eden Project?
**[02:53] ---**
Not found? The data must've been deleted.
**[02:58] ---**
If their data admin is clueless,
I just may be able to recover it.
**[03:12] ---**
There! Yes!
**[03:15] ---**
This is...!
**[03:17] ---**
"Due to the collapse of Bioberg,
the project was cancelled.
**[03:21] ---**
This was not an accident,
but a terrorist act.
**[03:23] ---**
The research facility
was totally destroyed,
**[03:26] ---**
and the prototype machines
under development were also stolen.
**[03:30] ---**
Torneo Rudman, the perpetrator,
was killed at the hands of Chronos;
**[03:34] ---**
however, the whereabouts of the
prototype machines are still unknown.
**[03:37] ---**
The chief researcher of the Eden Project,
Dr. Tearju Lunatique,
**[03:42] ---**
was also critically injured
and is currently hospitalized."
**[03:45] ---**
Which hospital?
**[03:47] ---**
You need a password?!
**[03:51] ---**
How about... "femalescientist"?
**[03:58] ---**
Damn! They must've waited until
the Numbers were gone to attack.
**[04:01] ---**
Contact Sephiria-*sama* immediately!
**[04:15] ---**
What the...?!
**[04:17] ---**
What's going on?!
**[04:22] ---**
It doesn't seem as though
**[04:23] ---**
you've taken those from the
Apostles of the Stars as prisoners.
**[04:27] ---**
How pitiful... you seem quite confused.
**[04:31] ---**
You are Numbers! Are you telling us
you were conspiring with the enemy?!
**[04:37] ---**
You still don't get it?
**[04:38] ---**
The days of Chronos are over.
**[04:41] ---**
Now we, the Zero Numbers, will take over.
**[04:45] ---**
Zero Numbers?!
**[04:47] ---**
It seems that this was planned
from the very beginning... Mason!
**[04:52] ---**
Mason! You are a serious threat
to the noble cause of Chronos.
**[04:57] ---**
And I shall erase you!
**[04:58] ---**
You're not in any position
to be talking tough!
**[05:01] ---**
You simply cannot see beyond
Chronos' way of thinking, can you?
**[05:04] ---**
We do have our own noble cause, as well.
**[05:06] ---**
Sephiria...
**[05:08] ---**
I have waited a long time for this day...
**[05:14] ---**
the day that we take a step
towards ultimate peace.
**[05:21] ---**
This is farewell!
**[05:32] ---**
Hey Bro!
**[05:34] ---**
Bro! I'm glad you're back safe!
**[05:37] ---**
Yo!
**[05:38] ---**
H-Hey!
**[05:47] ---**
Bro!
**[05:49] ---**
--Cheers!
**[05:49] ---**
--Cheers!
**[05:54] ---**
Bro! Congratulations on attaining
your long-cherished goal!
**[05:57] ---**
I'm so relieved!
**[05:59] ---**
Well, I knew you'd be back safe,
**[06:01] ---**
but considering the enemy
you were up against...
**[06:03] ---**
If anything had happened to you...
**[06:04] ---**
I was just so worried!
**[06:06] ---**
Err... Hey Bro, are you listening?
**[06:09] ---**
More milk, please!
**[06:11] ---**
Geez! C'mon, Bro!
**[06:13] ---**
Ah... Ah... Ah-choo!
**[06:17] ---**
Hey, quit spitting all over the place!
**[06:19] ---**
S-Sorry.
**[06:22] ---**
Here's your milk.
**[06:26] ---**
Annette?! What're you doing here?!
**[06:29] ---**
Woodney told me...
**[06:31] ---**
that you took on some dangerous job...
**[06:34] ---**
So I brought all sorts of things.
I guess it was for nothing.
**[06:39] ---**
We don't need any of that stuff.
**[06:41] ---**
Humph! As cocky as ever!
**[06:44] ---**
I'm surprised you were
able to procure the boat.
**[06:47] ---**
The fishermen in this area were
too afraid of the Apostles of the Stars
**[06:50] ---**
to take their boats out.
**[06:52] ---**
I hired a boatman
who cared little about life.
**[06:56] ---**
It cost me a fortune, though.
**[06:58] ---**
When you collect your bounty,
I expect a big cut.
**[07:01] ---**
There won't be any bounty this time.
**[07:03] ---**
What do you mean?
**[07:05] ---**
Err... Haven't a clue...
**[07:08] ---**
Don't tell me you let Creed escape?!
**[07:09] ---**
Don't worry! We crushed
the Apostles of the Stars good.
**[07:14] ---**
You beat the Apostles of the Stars,
yet you get no reward?!
**[07:17] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[07:19] ---**
Aw c'mon... let it go.
**[07:21] ---**
The Sweeper Association guys
are okay with it, too, so...
**[07:25] ---**
Right? You guys don't care
about the reward, right?
**[07:28] ---**
Err... you do, huh?
**[07:34] ---**
Sure you do. Even I do...
**[07:37] ---**
I don't care.
**[07:41] ---**
We didn't lose to even
the Apostles of the Stars.
**[07:45] ---**
No matter what kind of job we take
from now on, we're sure to succeed.
**[07:48] ---**
Eve...
**[07:51] ---**
She's right!
**[07:53] ---**
In any event, with this battle,
we sweepers proved ourselves as men!
**[07:58] ---**
And as women, too!
**[08:00] ---**
Right! We beat those monsters!
**[08:04] ---**
The bounty means nothing!
**[08:06] ---**
--Right! Right!
**[08:08] ---**
--Right! Right!
**[08:10] ---**
I'm impressed! You first-class sweepers
really are different from the rest!
**[08:14] ---**
Tonight's on me! Drink all you like!
**[08:16] ---**
--Alright!
**[08:16] ---**
--Alright!
**[08:30] ---**
They're all gone.
**[08:33] ---**
They went off to their next jobs.
**[08:36] ---**
Being a sweeper isn't a stable job...
**[08:37] ---**
You follow where the wind
and criminals take you.
**[08:42] ---**
I see...
**[08:46] ---**
Let's head out to our next job, too.
**[08:51] ---**
Say, Eve... what do you want to do now?
**[08:53] ---**
What?
**[08:55] ---**
You can't keep roaming
around with us, right?
**[09:00] ---**
The Apostles of the Stars
have been destroyed.
**[09:02] ---**
Why not attend school or something?
**[09:05] ---**
Like that fire-breathing girl, Kyoko.
Attend a school in Zipang or something.
**[09:10] ---**
Since Zipang is a safe country,
it'd probably be...
**[09:12] ---**
I like just how it is.
**[09:17] ---**
I want to live freely.
**[09:22] ---**
You know, I'm saying this for you.
**[09:25] ---**
You should get into a
prestigious girls' boarding school
**[09:28] ---**
and get some education
under a respectable teacher.
**[09:32] ---**
If you're worried about the tuition,
I'll find a way to...
**[09:35] ---**
Hey, where are you going?!
**[09:39] ---**
Sven... you don't understand anything.
**[09:42] ---**
Eve!
**[09:44] ---**
Geez... they don't even have a
milk vending machine in this town?!
**[09:51] ---**
Something wrong with the princess?
**[09:55] ---**
It's nothing.
**[09:59] ---**
Miss Eve?
**[10:38] ---**
It's been a long time, Eve.
**[10:41] ---**
I wonder if you've forgotten...
**[10:43] ---**
that we're very old friends.
**[10:47] ---**
Friends?
**[10:49] ---**
Yes, I was there when you were born.
**[10:54] ---**
Come, Eve. I'll take you to paradise.
**[11:46] ---**
What in the...?!
**[11:55] ---**
Since you're here,
**[11:57] ---**
there must be no mistake that this is the gathering place.
**[12:01] ---**
Number VII!
**[12:03] ---**
Where are the others?
**[12:05] ---**
I can't find them anywhere...
**[12:08] ---**
I found David's body.
**[12:10] ---**
I've just buried him.
**[12:12] ---**
Then could Sephiria-*san
*and Belze-*san* also be...?!
**[12:17] ---**
There's no way those two
would be defeated.
**[12:20] ---**
I'm sure they're out searching
for Baldor and the others.
**[12:32] ---**
That's...!
**[12:35] ---**
Sephiria-*san*!
**[12:37] ---**
Belze-*san*!
**[12:38] ---**
Anubis!
**[12:47] ---**
No good!
**[12:48] ---**
This one doesn't work either!
**[12:51] ---**
Nor this...
**[12:55] ---**
Just as expected, this is impossible!
**[12:58] ---**
I'm so exhausted!
**[13:00] ---**
I'm sleepy... my shoulders are aching...
**[13:03] ---**
My butt hurts, too...
**[13:08] ---**
Ahh! I'm starving!
**[13:11] ---**
Even a simple omelet will do. I wanna eat!
**[13:16] ---**
Omelet?!
**[13:21] ---**
*The disk was empty, but I kept it
because of the weird title...*
**[13:28] ---**
*"Tips on how to make rolled omelets
without turning them into toxic waste."*
**[13:37] ---**
Thank you for coming,
**[13:39] ---**
but Ms. Lunatique may not
recognize you as her cousin.
**[13:44] ---**
The shock of the accident at Bioberg
has caused her to lose her memory.
**[13:49] ---**
This way.
**[13:53] ---**
Oh? She's not here.
**[13:55] ---**
Strange... she should be
done with her rehab session,
**[14:00] ---**
and I don't think any tests
were scheduled on her today.
**[14:06] ---**
What was that?
**[14:07] ---**
Someone, help! The patient in 303 is...!
**[14:11] ---**
She's agitated again after
seeing herself in the mirror!
**[14:37] ---**
You actually said that to the child?
**[14:40] ---**
Poor thing! Saying that to her
**[14:42] ---**
--After she trusted you so much...
**[14:43] ---**
--Refill, please!
**[14:44] ---**
Precisely because I'm close to her,
I'm thinking about Eve's future,
**[14:48] ---**
and...
**[14:49] ---**
Sven! You always
call yourself a gentleman...
**[14:53] ---**
but you're such a coward, aren't you?!
**[14:55] ---**
What?!
**[14:57] ---**
It seems to me that you're
trying to run away from Eve.
**[15:00] ---**
Hey! More milk, please!
**[15:03] ---**
You said, "Eve is not some sort
of weapon. She's a human being."
**[15:07] ---**
Then, isn't it important
not just to protect her,
**[15:09] ---**
but to think about her feelings as well?!
**[15:16] ---**
Let's go.
**[15:18] ---**
Let's go and get the princess.
**[15:19] ---**
She's probably sulking somewhere,
**[15:22] ---**
thinking, "Why isn't Sven
coming to get me already?"
**[15:25] ---**
C'mon, let's go.
**[15:28] ---**
The adjustments to the improved
NS amplifier have been completed.
**[15:32] ---**
Aside from the transformation control,
**[15:33] ---**
access permissions to the apperception
system have also been registered.
**[15:36] ---**
So, it won't accept
any input from anyone but us.
**[15:39] ---**
Furthermore, the pick-up
rate of all the data
**[15:44] ---**
that Eve has stored in her memory
and emotion filters have been optimized.
**[15:47] ---**
At this point, there is nothing
in the way of activating Eden.
**[15:51] ---**
Good.
**[15:53] ---**
Eve...
**[15:54] ---**
How long I've waited
to see you again...
**[15:58] ---**
From the very day when Dr. Lunatique
created you at Bioberg.
**[16:04] ---**
You will now proceed to paradise...
**[16:07] ---**
to Eden... where it will all begin.
**[16:17] ---**
Eve! Where are you?!
**[16:21] ---**
Come on home now!
**[16:22] ---**
Let's go get something good to eat!
**[16:27] ---**
Hey Train! What're you doing up there?
**[16:30] ---**
Huh? Of course I'm
looking for the princess!
**[16:34] ---**
I know! I'm asking why you're on the roof!
**[16:37] ---**
When people are lonely,
they like to climb up to high places.
**[16:40] ---**
That's common sense.
**[16:42] ---**
She's not you! You won't
find her up on a roof!
**[16:45] ---**
Get serious and look!
**[16:47] ---**
Mister Sven!
**[16:50] ---**
Ellie...
**[16:52] ---**
What're you doing here?
Did you come to see the boats?
**[16:55] ---**
No. But what are you doing out so late?
**[17:01] ---**
I came to greet Daddy.
**[17:02] ---**
Oh? You did? Good girl.
**[17:06] ---**
Oh! Good evening!
**[17:08] ---**
H-Hello...
**[17:10] ---**
Say Ellie, Eve still hasn't come back.
**[17:14] ---**
Did you see her somewhere?
**[17:16] ---**
Miss Eve?
**[17:18] ---**
Oh, that blonde child?
I saw her at the harbor.
**[17:22] ---**
Really?
**[17:23] ---**
Yes. A man who looks like a doctor
in a white lab coat was with her.
**[17:27] ---**
A doctor?! When?!
**[17:30] ---**
I went back and forth between the harbor
and my house several times today,
**[17:34] ---**
but I think it was in the morning.
**[17:37] ---**
Do you know which way they went?
**[17:49] ---**
We were finally able to obtain Eve.
**[17:52] ---**
The realization of
the ideal world is near!
**[17:56] ---**
I am grateful for all your work.
**[18:01] ---**
To think that a young girl like this...
has the power to change the world...
**[18:13] ---**
Eve!
**[18:15] ---**
Eve!!
**[18:18] ---**
Where are you?! Eve!!
**[18:25] ---**
Eve! So, that's where you were!
**[18:29] ---**
Let's go home, Eve.
**[18:33] ---**
Say, let's talk things over.
**[18:37] ---**
Hey, you can stop fooling around now.
**[18:42] ---**
Th-That's...!
**[18:46] ---**
Eve says she's not going back to you.
**[18:50] ---**
Quit talking nonsense!
**[18:52] ---**
You're making her say that!
**[18:55] ---**
Wait right there, Eve!
**[18:56] ---**
I'll free you... right away!
**[19:09] ---**
Sven!
**[19:21] ---**
Hah! It's been a long time, Black Cat.
**[19:28] ---**
Since when did Chrono Numbers
**[19:31] ---**
start hiring the Apostles of the Stars
to abduct people?
**[19:34] ---**
We are no longer Chronos.
**[19:37] ---**
We are comrades.
**[19:40] ---**
I don't give a damn who you team up with!!
**[19:44] ---**
Give Eve back now!!
**[19:46] ---**
Unfortunately, we can't.
**[19:49] ---**
We have a far deeper bond with Eve.
**[19:54] ---**
What?!
**[19:55] ---**
We know everything
there is to know about Eve.
**[19:58] ---**
Shut up!! What do you know about Eve?!
**[20:02] ---**
Scum like you couldn't possibly
understand how she feels!
**[20:05] ---**
Hah! How she feels?
**[20:07] ---**
Even if people understand
each other's feelings,
**[20:09] ---**
it does not stop them from fighting.
**[20:12] ---**
Mason!
**[20:14] ---**
So you're the mastermind behind all this!
**[20:16] ---**
Chronos once tried to destroy Eve.
**[20:19] ---**
So why do you want her now?
**[20:23] ---**
For the magnificent
and noble plan, Black Cat.
**[20:28] ---**
I am grateful to you both, though...
**[20:31] ---**
for nurturing Eve to this point.
**[20:35] ---**
Now, we will be able to change the world.
**[20:40] ---**
I don't know what the hell
you're talking about!
**[20:42] ---**
Just what does that have to do with Eve?!
**[20:44] ---**
Come, Eve.
**[20:49] ---**
Eve?!
**[20:55] ---**
It's time to bid farewell.
**[21:18] ---**
Eve!!
**[21:19] ---**
Sven!
**[21:20] ---**
Wait!
**[21:22] ---**
Eve!
**[21:30] ---**
Sven!
**[21:56] ---**
Eve...
**[22:04] ---**
Eve, this is Eden.
**[22:08] ---**
Eden...
**[22:09] ---**
Now go... Adam is waiting for you.
**[22:15] ---**
Adam...
**[22:29] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:36] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:43] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:04] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:11] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:25] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:56] ---**
*Eve, I have waited so long for your return.*
**[23:59] ---**
*Now my plan will be fulfilled.*
**[24:03] ---**
*Look, this is Eden,*
**[24:05] ---**
*the salvation that mankind has long awaited.*
**[24:09] ---**
*Eve, from now on,*
**[24:12] ---**
*you and Eden will bring
ultimate peace to mankind.*
**[24:15] ---**
*It is splendid...*
**[24:17] ---**
*Too splendid!*

You've come to?

Annette...
**[00:23] ---**
How's Sven?
**[00:25] ---**
His injuries aren't serious.
**[00:27] ---**
But... it looks like
he's taking this pretty hard.
**[00:34] ---**
Princess!

"The Cat Bares Claws"
**[02:26] ---**
Eve, your journey that began
in a tank at Bioberg
**[02:30] ---**
has come to an end.
**[02:33] ---**
The life of people, the joys and sorrows...
**[02:36] ---**
the wisdom to live, and battle...
**[02:38] ---**
You have obtained all
the knowledge you require.
**[02:43] ---**
Rejoice!
**[02:44] ---**
You have been given the
right to live in paradise.
**[02:48] ---**
Pa... ra... dise...
**[02:52] ---**
Yes, the paradise called Eden.
**[02:55] ---**
E... den...
**[03:09] ---**
From this moment, you
will become one with Eden!
**[03:12] ---**
And you will live in paradise for eternity!
**[03:15] ---**
Magnificent!
**[03:33] ---**
Eve!
**[03:43] ---**
You're going to get Eve back?
**[03:45] ---**
Of course!
**[03:46] ---**
You don't even know where she is...
**[03:48] ---**
and in that condition, what can you do?!
**[03:49] ---**
You expect me to lie still in bed?!
**[03:52] ---**
How can I?!
Eve's been kidnapped!
**[03:56] ---**
If I don't save her, who will?!
**[04:00] ---**
Don't act like no one else cares but you!
**[04:03] ---**
Even to me, Princess
is a precious comrade!
**[04:10] ---**
Remember, you once punched me?
**[04:14] ---**
I seem to recall something like that.
**[04:17] ---**
You said yourself...
**[04:19] ---**
to rely on your comrades more.
**[04:23] ---**
So leave the rest to me.
**[04:26] ---**
You sure talk cool!
**[04:31] ---**
Annette is checking on
Mason's movements right now.
**[04:34] ---**
That old man?
**[04:36] ---**
Mason was the oldest member of Chronos,
**[04:38] ---**
and the only member of the
Numbers to experience the Itairiku War.
**[04:42] ---**
Sephiria depended on him a lot, too.
**[04:44] ---**
But why would someone like him...?
**[04:46] ---**
The problem is that Mason
is the one who took Eve.
**[04:52] ---**
Anyway, take it easy and recover.
**[04:55] ---**
Hey! Where are you going?!
**[04:57] ---**
Mason is quite a schemer.
**[05:00] ---**
I've gotta be prepared for him.
**[05:03] ---**
Drink that and heal quickly.
**[05:05] ---**
Be seeing you!
**[05:08] ---**
Is this his only way of showing kindness?
**[05:16] ---**
The three elders have been assassinated.
**[05:19] ---**
As I expected...
**[05:21] ---**
I see it was Mason's doing?
**[05:23] ---**
We were totally had.
**[05:26] ---**
The branches around the
world are in a state of turmoil.
**[05:29] ---**
A plot 20 years in the making...
**[05:32] ---**
When we faced Mason,
he used Tao techniques.
**[05:36] ---**
When did he gain such power?
**[05:39] ---**
Probably in the Itairiku War...
**[05:40] ---**
So he made an alliance
with Taoists back then.
**[05:44] ---**
Nanotech and Tao...
**[05:46] ---**
This is quite a problem.
**[05:48] ---**
Ultimate peace...
he said something like that...
**[05:52] ---**
That's sheer nonsense.
We must stop them at all costs.
**[05:55] ---**
But Sephiria...
**[05:57] ---**
do we have the power at this time,
to confront Mason?
**[06:01] ---**
The reality is that world governments are
calling to cancel their financial support.
**[06:07] ---**
Still, we must do it.
**[06:12] ---**
What a creepy moon.
**[06:15] ---**
It's an ominous color.
**[06:17] ---**
Where're you guys headed from here?
**[06:20] ---**
I'm taking off for a while. I'm exhausted.
**[06:23] ---**
I have work.
**[06:26] ---**
So we're all going our separate ways.
**[06:29] ---**
Wanna come with me?
**[06:30] ---**
If you're by yourself, you get lost
even in your own room, don't you?
**[06:33] ---**
What?! D-Don't insult me!
**[06:35] ---**
I was at least able to find
my way back from the john!
**[06:57] ---**
Smooch, smooch, smooch...
**[06:59] ---**
Kuro-*sama*...
**[07:11] ---**
I guess no one's here anymore...
**[07:15] ---**
Who's there?
**[07:18] ---**
Quit standing there like a stick!
**[07:20] ---**
If this were a real bullet, you'd be dead!
**[07:23] ---**
Tim...
**[07:26] ---**
Leon...
**[07:34] ---**
Layla...
**[07:38] ---**
We thought you were dead, Leon!
**[07:46] ---**
Welcome home, Leon.
**[07:53] ---**
It's good to be back.
**[08:06] ---**
No data at all on those Zero Numbers?
**[08:10] ---**
Like the number says... zero.
**[08:12] ---**
Any word from Train?
**[08:14] ---**
He just left!
**[08:18] ---**
Hey...
**[08:19] ---**
What's the use of sitting there and
punching away at the keyboard?!
**[08:22] ---**
Shut up!
**[08:24] ---**
I'm contacting the information brokers and
the sweepers around the country right now!
**[08:29] ---**
I'll go walking for rehabilitation.
**[08:37] ---**
Sven?
**[08:39] ---**
R-Rins?!
**[08:41] ---**
You're alive?
**[08:43] ---**
Well, I saw the netherworld
for a second just now...
**[08:45] ---**
Never mind that.
What're you doing here?
**[08:48] ---**
I heard about Eve from Annette.
**[08:50] ---**
So I brought someone
who may have some leads.
**[08:53] ---**
Leads?
**[08:59] ---**
Sh-She's...
**[09:01] ---**
Eve!
**[09:03] ---**
Tearju Lunatique.
**[09:05] ---**
Eve's creator.
**[09:08] ---**
Amnesia?
**[09:10] ---**
Then she can't give us any leads!
**[09:13] ---**
But I'm sure she knows something.
**[09:15] ---**
That may be so, but...
**[09:18] ---**
In any case, they really look alike!
Are they blood-related?
**[09:22] ---**
I'm almost positive Eve's her clone.
**[09:24] ---**
Clone?! Hey!
**[09:27] ---**
Tearju is one of the top scientists not only
in nanomachines but also in clone science.
**[09:32] ---**
In other words, she was
experimenting on her own clone?
**[09:37] ---**
What was she thinking?!
**[09:39] ---**
Scientists live in a different world.
**[09:44] ---**
Rins, give me your cell phone!
**[09:46] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:46] ---**
You took Eve's picture
with it before, didn't you?
**[09:48] ---**
So?
**[09:49] ---**
If we show it to her,
it may jog her memory!
**[09:52] ---**
Hey, you're right!
**[09:55] ---**
Here it is. This is Eve.
**[09:58] ---**
E... ve?
**[10:00] ---**
Well? You recognize her, don't you?
**[10:05] ---**
Tearju?
**[10:23] ---**
Eve!
**[10:24] ---**
Hey lady, calm down!
**[10:26] ---**
Eve! I must stop Eve!
**[10:29] ---**
What? Do what to Eve?!
**[10:30] ---**
Eve! Turn back to dust!
**[10:33] ---**
Eve!
**[10:39] ---**
--Tearju!
**[10:39] ---**
--Tearju!
**[11:15] ---**
You're awake, Eve?
**[11:19] ---**
Where am I?
**[11:22] ---**
Eden... the paradise
at the center of the world.
**[11:26] ---**
Who are you?
**[11:28] ---**
I'm Adam. I've been
waiting for you a long time.
**[11:41] ---**
I was lonely all by myself,
**[11:43] ---**
so I'm really happy that you've come.
**[11:46] ---**
I... can't remember anything.
**[11:50] ---**
You don't have to remember anything.
**[11:52] ---**
You have been reborn, so...
**[11:57] ---**
Reborn?
**[12:01] ---**
Anxiety doesn't suit Eden.
**[12:03] ---**
Now smile!
**[12:10] ---**
There is no fighting...
no illness... no unhappiness in Eden.
**[12:15] ---**
Even food can be...
**[12:16] ---**
Look...
**[12:20] ---**
Like this, we can eat
all we want whenever we want.
**[12:23] ---**
There's no hunger here either.
**[12:28] ---**
An apple...
**[12:30] ---**
Take a bite.
**[12:38] ---**
Hypnotized yourself?
**[12:39] ---**
To react when you see Eve's face?
**[12:43] ---**
That's why you reacted
in front of the mirror...
**[12:46] ---**
Why'd you do such a thing?
**[12:49] ---**
I didn't want them to use me...
**[12:52] ---**
Huh?
**[12:53] ---**
Or my research... or Eve.
**[12:55] ---**
That's why when Torneo attacked
the research lab at Bioberg...
**[13:00] ---**
I tried to destroy everything.
**[13:02] ---**
But I didn't have enough time.
**[13:05] ---**
Kanzaki, my assistant, was
already in cahoots with Mason, so...
**[13:08] ---**
Kanzaki?
**[13:09] ---**
At the lab, we called him Doctor.
**[13:13] ---**
It's this man.
**[13:15] ---**
That's...
**[13:16] ---**
He may not look it,
**[13:17] ---**
but he was an ambitious man
who was determined to take my place.
**[13:20] ---**
And he fell victim to his ambition
and was ensnared by Mason.
**[13:24] ---**
I can't forgive him!
**[13:26] ---**
He stole the research that
I poured my heart and soul into!
**[13:29] ---**
Now, now...
**[13:31] ---**
So tell us, what was
this research of yours about?
**[13:35] ---**
It was the Eden Project, wasn't it?
**[13:38] ---**
What is that?
**[13:40] ---**
A frightening plan... to bring
about ultimate peace to the world.
**[13:44] ---**
Peace? Nothing wrong with peace.
**[13:47] ---**
Even if humans stop being humans?
**[13:51] ---**
Infect people with nanomachines
**[13:53] ---**
and centrally control
them using the power of Tao.
**[13:56] ---**
That is the outline of the Eden Project.
**[13:59] ---**
Well, that certainly would
put an end to wars...
**[14:02] ---**
But that's quite an outrageous plan.
**[14:05] ---**
But what does Eve have to do with it?
**[14:08] ---**
Eve will activate Eden.
**[14:09] ---**
Eden?
**[14:11] ---**
The mechanical life
form which I invented.
**[14:14] ---**
Once activated, it will spread
nanomachines throughout the world
**[14:18] ---**
and control the people of the world...
**[14:20] ---**
And using their life
energy as the driving force,
**[14:22] ---**
its life will become immortal.
**[14:24] ---**
And you're saying that Eve
will be the pilot for this?
**[14:26] ---**
Yes...
**[14:28] ---**
Eve will be set in the center of Eden.
**[14:31] ---**
Eve was developed to serve
as Eden's consciousness.
**[14:35] ---**
Her role as a "bio-weapon" was just a ruse.
**[14:40] ---**
That's why I must destroy Eve!
**[14:42] ---**
Before Eden is activated!
**[14:44] ---**
That is my duty as her creator!
**[14:47] ---**
Don't be so selfish!!
**[14:49] ---**
She may be a clone or
whatever, but... Eve is Eve!!
**[14:52] ---**
You think I'd let you erase
her just to suit your whims?!
**[14:57] ---**
Tearju...
**[14:59] ---**
I want to save Eve, too.
**[15:03] ---**
But if Eden is activated,
**[15:05] ---**
it will mean the end of this world.
**[15:10] ---**
Hasn't Eden been activated yet?
**[15:12] ---**
Eden's operation circuit is
trying to link up with Eve.
**[15:16] ---**
Once that is complete...
**[15:20] ---**
Aren't you going to eat? It's good.
**[15:25] ---**
It tastes wonderful... something
you've never tasted before in your life.
**[15:29] ---**
Now, hurry...
**[15:32] ---**
What will happen when Eden is activated?
**[15:35] ---**
Eden will cover the sky and make it rain.
**[15:38] ---**
Rain?
**[15:39] ---**
Nanomachine rain.
**[15:41] ---**
It will seep into humans...
and cause a transformation.
**[15:45] ---**
Even I don't know what the result will be.
**[15:49] ---**
Can't we tell Eve not to do that?
**[15:51] ---**
The Eve that you know will be erased
**[15:53] ---**
and she'll become one with Eden.
**[15:56] ---**
She probably won't
remember anyone by that time.
**[16:00] ---**
That's ridiculous!
**[16:02] ---**
Eve will become Eden's consciousness.
**[16:05] ---**
Only after that happens
**[16:07] ---**
will Eden be able to recognize and control humans.
**[16:11] ---**
So Eve will no longer be Eve...
**[16:17] ---**
A giant nebula which
has absorbed all humans...
**[16:21] ---**
Some people may call it god.
**[16:25] ---**
Or... demon...
**[16:29] ---**
Eat it.
**[16:32] ---**
Eat... this...
**[16:47] ---**
That's wonderful, Eve.
**[16:50] ---**
You will nurture paradise...
**[16:52] ---**
and paradise will continue to grow...
**[16:55] ---**
and soon cover everything on this planet!
**[17:02] ---**
Ohhhh!
**[17:05] ---**
The moment has arrived!
**[17:07] ---**
The day I have waited for...
**[17:09] ---**
for so long!
**[17:14] ---**
Creed...
**[17:17] ---**
Creed!
**[17:30] ---**
Oops, I drank too much again.
**[17:32] ---**
We had drinks... at the
wedding party... for a toast.
**[17:35] ---**
Huh?
**[17:39] ---**
Oh, the sunset?
**[17:41] ---**
How pretty!
**[17:43] ---**
But why a sunset in broad daylight?
**[17:49] ---**
Pretty...
**[17:50] ---**
Yeah...
**[17:52] ---**
The cloud is spreading in this direction...
**[17:56] ---**
So Mason is on the move now...
**[17:58] ---**
The location is the desert in the
northwest... near Kashmir City.
**[18:02] ---**
Just what is he up to?
**[18:04] ---**
That is not our concern.
**[18:06] ---**
Order an attack immediately.
**[18:08] ---**
The communication with our
Kashmir branch has been lost.
**[18:12] ---**
So nothing is left on our side...
**[18:16] ---**
Even if it's just us alone!
**[18:17] ---**
With just the few of us,
we cannot hope for victory.
**[18:22] ---**
Hey, hey... why so depressed?
**[18:25] ---**
I really don't want to
see you guys despondent.
**[18:29] ---**
Heartnet!
**[18:33] ---**
And you still call yourselves Numbers?
**[18:35] ---**
You're going to take
old Mason's antics lying down?
**[18:39] ---**
Since you left Chronos,
it's none of your business.
**[18:43] ---**
Or... will you return to Chronos?
**[18:46] ---**
Eve was kidnapped by Mason.
**[18:48] ---**
Eve? That bio-weapon?
**[18:51] ---**
Eve is my comrade!
**[18:54] ---**
What do you expect us to do?
**[18:56] ---**
It's simple. I'm gonna rescue Eve.
**[18:59] ---**
You're coming too, right?
**[19:02] ---**
Whatever happened to the Numbers' pride?
**[19:04] ---**
That insufferable pride?!
**[19:10] ---**
All right.
**[19:12] ---**
Just this one time...
**[19:15] ---**
We, Chronos, will lend you a hand, Heartnet!
**[19:19] ---**
Now that's more like it!
**[19:28] ---**
Oh?! What's going on?
**[19:32] ---**
Oh, it's rain.
**[19:40] ---**
Peace... peace is coming.
**[19:45] ---**
Huh? Maybe I drank too much?
**[19:49] ---**
Oh?
**[19:53] ---**
Oh, yeah! It's begun!
**[19:55] ---**
--Hey, sit down! I can't see!
**[19:56] ---**
--Go!
**[19:57] ---**
--I know I'm getting too old for this,
**[19:58] ---**
--but I always get excited
when I see something like this.
**[19:59] ---**
--Death Blow Beam!
**[20:01] ---**
--Hey, I've seen this program before.
**[20:01] ---**
--Ahhhh!
**[20:06] ---**
We interrupt this program
for important news.
**[20:07] ---**
Kashmir City in the
northwestern region of the continent
**[20:10] ---**
is under attack
from a strange flying object.
**[20:12] ---**
We will bring you more news
as it becomes available.
**[20:21] ---**
Say, what'll you order?
I'm having a fruit parfait.
**[20:24] ---**
Sweet bean soup for me.
**[20:25] ---**
Grilled octopus in batter for me!
**[20:26] ---**
A sweet shop wouldn't have that, you know!
**[20:27] ---**
Oh, really?
**[20:29] ---**
Oh? What's wrong, Kyoko?
**[20:33] ---**
Hey, Kyoko!
**[20:35] ---**
--Kashmir...
**[20:36] ---**
--Hey, what's that?
**[20:37] ---**
--The city where I dated Little Kuro-*sama*?!
**[20:38] ---**
--Oh... I'm scared!
**[20:45] ---**
Splendid...
**[20:50] ---**
Look! Man has abandoned
his ego and become one!
**[20:54] ---**
This is indeed Utopia!
**[20:56] ---**
Now we will absorb people into Eden.
**[21:00] ---**
They will become
the flesh and blood of Eden,
**[21:02] ---**
and become the source of Tao power.
**[21:16] ---**
What is this?!
**[21:24] ---**
Tearju, you really
created something terrible.
**[21:28] ---**
People are being sucked in!
**[21:31] ---**
It seems it's designed not only to merge
human minds, but their bodies as well.
**[21:36] ---**
Designed?! Can't you do something?!
**[21:39] ---**
As the one responsible for its development,
**[21:41] ---**
I will take responsibility
until the very end.
**[21:43] ---**
But how?
**[21:46] ---**
Oh! Is it over for mankind?!
**[21:49] ---**
Quit your whining!
**[21:51] ---**
I'm sorry... Huh?
**[21:53] ---**
Bro!
**[21:54] ---**
Yo! Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[21:56] ---**
Train, you're so late!
**[22:08] ---**
These guys are pretty
dependable, wouldn't you say?
**[22:10] ---**
Huh? Yeah...
**[22:12] ---**
Awright! Let's go, Sven!
**[22:15] ---**
Princess must be tired of waiting!
**[22:29] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:36] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:43] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:04] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:11] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:25] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:56] ---**
*Eve... what are you thinking?*
**[23:59] ---**
*You're not remembering the past, are you?*
**[24:03] ---**
*Stop this nonsense.
You are here in paradise now.*
**[24:07] ---**
*Look at this peaceful scenery
filled with happiness.*
**[24:12] ---**
*If you are still haunted
by the ghosts of the past...*
**[24:17] ---**
*I know a way to deal with that.*

**[00:22] ---**
Run! If that rain gets on you, it's over!
**[00:28] ---**
Meg!
**[00:29] ---**
Meg! Are you all right?!
**[00:32] ---**
Tim! Hurry!
**[00:34] ---**
Grab hold!
**[00:39] ---**
Tim!
**[00:46] ---**
Transformation?!
**[00:48] ---**
Tim is... Tim is...
**[00:53] ---**
Strange...
**[00:54] ---**
I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
**[00:57] ---**
Tim!
**[01:04] ---**
It's finally begun!
**[01:05] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:12] ---**
Awright! Let's go!
**[01:16] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:18] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:21] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:25] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:41] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:46] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:48] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[01:52] ---**

*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[02:00] ---**
*I live for someone else*

*There's something I wanna protect*
**[02:13] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:19] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:26] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[02:48] ---**
There's been no
response from the flying object.
**[02:50] ---**
Please order an attack!
**[02:52] ---**
We have no choice...
**[02:58] ---**
Target confirmed. Formation 05.
**[03:01] ---**
Maintain your positions!
We'll aim at its head.
**[03:04] ---**
Roger! Locked on target!
**[03:07] ---**
"The Cat’s Paradise"
**[03:45] ---**
What are you thinking?
**[03:49] ---**
It's not about what's
outside this paradise, is it?
**[03:53] ---**
I...
**[03:54] ---**
That is a sin.
**[03:57] ---**
Now look...
**[04:05] ---**
No!
**[04:06] ---**
See? Even over here...
**[04:11] ---**
No!!
**[04:24] ---**
Those poisonous snakes are trying
to drag you out of this paradise,
**[04:29] ---**
and take you back to the sullied world.
**[04:34] ---**
You must destroy them. Or it is
the end for you and paradise.
**[04:40] ---**
Me?
**[04:44] ---**
Wh-What's happening? What's going on?!
**[05:01] ---**
Magnificent! Eve, keep it up!
**[05:05] ---**
Bring down all who try
to invade our paradise!
**[05:16] ---**
What?! You're saying Eve's doing all that?
**[05:19] ---**
Eve is putting everything she has
learned up to this point to use.
**[05:23] ---**
But... I never taught Eve how
to bring down armed helicopters!
**[05:33] ---**
Was that it?
**[05:36] ---**
What?!
**[05:37] ---**
He is...
**[05:42] ---**
Relax. I don't plan to fight you guys.
**[05:47] ---**
More importantly, you're
heading to that monster thing, right?
**[05:51] ---**
What?! Your friend was
swallowed up by that thing?!
**[05:56] ---**
I... couldn't protect Tim.
**[05:59] ---**
Tim?!
**[06:05] ---**
Dammit!
**[06:07] ---**
Eden will continue to
grow by absorbing life energy.
**[06:11] ---**
In time, it will swallow up all of mankind,
**[06:14] ---**
and totally cover this planet.
**[06:17] ---**
A self-propagating machine with
immortal life and infinite capacity...
**[06:25] ---**
But Eden is still in its infancy.
**[06:28] ---**
What?! No way!
That thing is still an infant?!
**[06:32] ---**
Yes, if it swallows up more and
more people and increases its power...
**[06:37] ---**
it will be beyond our powers.
**[06:40] ---**
No!
**[06:41] ---**
Then what do you do?
**[06:43] ---**
Separating Eve from Eden before
they completely merge is the only way...
**[06:49] ---**
Eve? Did something happen to her?
**[06:51] ---**
Eve is inside that thing.
**[06:55] ---**
If it's as I designed it,
Eve has been taken into the receptor.
**[07:04] ---**
Sheesh... Awfully relaxed,
aren't you?! You even brought food!
**[07:08] ---**
C'mon! It's like they say,
you can't fight on an empty stomach.
**[07:14] ---**
Right?
**[07:19] ---**
Don't they?
**[07:22] ---**
So, the question is how we attack it...
**[07:25] ---**
Eden is showering nanomachines...
**[07:29] ---**
In other words, we can't attack from below.
**[07:32] ---**
But to attack from the sky...
**[07:34] ---**
We'd be cut into pieces
with that sickle-like thing...
**[07:38] ---**
It will be difficult
to stop that nano-slicer.
**[07:41] ---**
The only way is to create a blind spot...
**[07:44] ---**
Or lure it to a small
area and run it aground?
**[07:48] ---**
How?
**[07:50] ---**
We're at the end of our rope...
**[07:52] ---**
Isn't there something we can do?
**[07:57] ---**
How does Eden detect people?
**[08:00] ---**
It's not as though it's spreading
nanomachines at random, right?
**[08:08] ---**
Eden detects humans'
mental activities through Eve,
**[08:13] ---**
and moves towards areas
where it senses a high response.
**[08:15] ---**
So that's why it targets cities.
**[08:18] ---**
Then the place Eden will target next is...
**[08:25] ---**
Palmila City...
**[08:26] ---**
Then, it means that we have to take care
of it before it gets there or it's over.
**[08:31] ---**
If it's in the middle of the
desert, where no humans are around,
**[08:33] ---**
even a small number of
people may be able to lure Eden.
**[08:37] ---**
That's it!
**[08:39] ---**
Now, the question is,
where are we going to lure Eden?
**[08:43] ---**
If we are to run it aground,
**[08:46] ---**
maybe it should be between cliffs?
**[08:51] ---**
Oh, let's just move forward for now.
**[08:54] ---**
We've already chowed down, so...
**[08:59] ---**
Kuro-*sama*!
**[09:02] ---**
I asked Charden-*san* to join me!
**[09:06] ---**
It has been a while...
**[09:13] ---**
Since that time,
**[09:14] ---**
I've continued on my journey
in search of a path to follow.
**[09:22] ---**
That's right...
**[09:24] ---**
What's more important than me right
now is what to do with that monstrosity.
**[09:29] ---**
This is the place...
**[09:32] ---**
To the southwest of Palmila City,
**[09:34] ---**
there is a ravine created
over time by weathering.
**[09:38] ---**
If we lure it here...
**[09:40] ---**
Sheesh! How are we gonna make
that huge thing change its course?!
**[09:45] ---**
Eve's consciousness
shouldn't be completely gone yet.
**[09:48] ---**
Eden will react to whatever Eve likes.
**[09:51] ---**
Whatever Eve likes... whatever Eve likes...
**[09:55] ---**
Isn't there something?!
**[09:56] ---**
When you think of Princess,
you think of omelets! Charred black ones!
**[10:00] ---**
And I love mango pudding!
**[10:02] ---**
Young girls love fruit parfaits.
**[10:05] ---**
Grilled octopus in batter?
**[10:06] ---**
Hamburgers?
**[10:08] ---**
Poached tofu?
**[10:09] ---**
Sven...
**[10:10] ---**
No!! It's nothing like that!
**[10:14] ---**
When you think of Eve,
you think of books, right?!
**[10:16] ---**
"The Bond Between a Husband and Wife,"
"101 Wild Elephants on the Stampede!"
**[10:19] ---**
"Camels' Humps," "*Tagaya*"...
**[10:25] ---**
Fireworks!
**[10:26] ---**
--Fireworks?!
**[10:26] ---**
--Fireworks?!
**[10:29] ---**
Right! Fireworks!
**[10:31] ---**
Eve likes the fireworks at festival time!
**[10:35] ---**
We'll shoot up lots and lots of
fireworks and get Eve's attention!
**[10:37] ---**
Fireworks?
**[10:39] ---**
We won't find fireworks
in the middle of a desert like this.
**[10:45] ---**
Hey! Where're you going?!
**[10:48] ---**
To the fireworks factory in town!
**[10:50] ---**
You guys go on ahead,
I'll catch up right away!
**[10:53] ---**
Leon!
**[10:54] ---**
Leon!
Leon!
**[10:56] ---**
You fool!
**[10:58] ---**
If the nanomachine rain gets on you,
you'll be swallowed up, too!
**[11:12] ---**
I hate sand!
**[11:15] ---**
Damn, that kid!
**[11:43] ---**
Well, Train?
**[11:45] ---**
See the kid?
**[11:56] ---**
--Nope.
**[11:56] ---**
--♪ La la... ♪
**[11:57] ---**
I see...
**[11:59] ---**
Gotcha!
**[12:00] ---**
Leon...
**[12:04] ---**
Eden is!
**[12:06] ---**
What the hell is that?!
**[12:08] ---**
Eden has turned into a woman...
**[12:12] ---**
So pretty...
**[12:14] ---**
The second form of Eden...
**[12:16] ---**
What?
**[12:17] ---**
By absorbing the people in Kashmir City,
**[12:20] ---**
the bond between Eden
and Eve has grown stronger.
**[12:23] ---**
Oh, no!
**[12:26] ---**
Once it reaches Palmila City, no one will
be able to stop Eden and Eve from merging.
**[12:32] ---**
We must hurry!
**[12:34] ---**
Dammit, where's the fireworks?!
**[12:37] ---**
He's definitely taking too long.
**[12:39] ---**
There's no point in
placing our hopes on a kid.
**[12:42] ---**
He may have been an
Apostle of the Stars once,
**[12:44] ---**
but he's still just a kid.
**[12:46] ---**
I wonder if he got
rained on by nanomachines
**[12:49] ---**
and was swallowed up by Eden...
**[12:52] ---**
Hey!
**[12:58] ---**
--Oweee!
**[12:59] ---**
--Hey! Stop it!
**[12:59] ---**
--My bad! My bad! I'm sorry!
**[13:05] ---**
That kid... isn't too shabby, it seems...
**[13:09] ---**
Huh?
**[13:14] ---**
Kuro-*sama*!
**[13:14] ---**
Train!
**[13:15] ---**
Wait for me!
**[13:18] ---**
That's reckless! Come back! Train!
**[13:21] ---**
Don't worry!
**[13:22] ---**
Eden has left Kashmir City!
The rain will stop soon!
**[13:29] ---**
All... who... invade... paradise...
**[13:33] ---**
will be... dealt with.
**[13:40] ---**
Well, you can't have this!
**[13:44] ---**
Dammit!
**[14:23] ---**
*Kid, you're not bad at all.*
**[14:31] ---**
What's the speed of the enemy?
**[14:33] ---**
It's still going
at about 100 km per hour.
**[14:36] ---**
It'll be over if we fall behind...
**[14:38] ---**
The road conditions are awful.
**[14:40] ---**
It's a life-or-death rally, huh?
**[14:42] ---**
Awright... I'm all fired up!
**[14:45] ---**
Once Eden runs aground, we will go in.
**[14:49] ---**
Then let us wish each other success,
**[14:51] ---**
and also that we will meet again alive.
**[14:54] ---**
--Right!
**[14:54] ---**
--Right!
**[15:01] ---**
Are you tired, Eve?
**[15:05] ---**
But it's just a little more.
**[15:08] ---**
We're going to an even more fun place next.
**[15:13] ---**
A place... that's even... more fun...
**[15:36] ---**
No, not that way!
**[15:39] ---**
Let's go to an even more fun place!
**[15:42] ---**
Hey! Eve!
**[15:47] ---**
Awright!
**[15:49] ---**
Just like someone said,
it's reacting to the fireworks!
**[15:52] ---**
Aghh! It's headed this way!
**[15:54] ---**
Awright! Let's make a big show!
**[16:00] ---**
I have permission
from Kuro-*sama* just for today...
**[16:03] ---**
So I'm going to blow a lot of fire!
**[16:14] ---**
*Tamaya*!
**[16:18] ---**
*Tamaya*! *Tamaya*!
**[16:21] ---**
*Tamaya*!
**[16:24] ---**
*Tamaya*! *Tamaya*! *Tamaya*!
**[16:30] ---**
What's going on?
**[16:32] ---**
Eden has changed its course!
**[16:35] ---**
The sweepers...
Rather, it's the work of small fries.
**[16:40] ---**
It doesn't matter!
**[16:42] ---**
Put it back on course
for Palmila City immediately.
**[16:45] ---**
I understand.
**[16:48] ---**
*Tama...*!
**[16:58] ---**
Now...
**[17:00] ---**
come with me to an even more fun place, Eve.
**[17:07] ---**
Leave them to me and
keep shooting up fireworks!
**[17:14] ---**
Drat! That thing's turning around!
**[17:17] ---**
Shoot up more fireworks!
**[17:22] ---**
Aww... Looks like it's going away!
**[17:25] ---**
Hey! Don't give up!
**[17:27] ---**
Boo!
**[17:33] ---**
This is bad, Sephiria! Eden is
turning back towards Palmila City.
**[17:40] ---**
Hey Train! What're you up to?!
**[17:44] ---**
--Go, Mister!
**[17:45] ---**
--Aghhh! Stop it!!
**[17:46] ---**
--You're so cool!
**[17:48] ---**
Hang on tight!
**[17:51] ---**
Let's go!
**[18:08] ---**
Hey! Princess!
**[18:11] ---**
Come on over this way!
**[18:14] ---**
Eve! Come back!
**[18:22] ---**
What's wrong, Eve?
**[18:25] ---**
Eve! I was wrong!
**[18:28] ---**
I'll never tell you to go
to a boarding school again!
**[18:31] ---**
Th-This is...!
**[18:39] ---**
You don't have to go to school!
**[18:42] ---**
We'll always be together!
**[18:55] ---**
All right! It's coming this way!
**[19:04] ---**
Whee!
**[19:38] ---**
--Yeah!!
**[19:38] ---**
--Yeah!!
**[19:40] ---**
Awright! Let's attack!
**[19:43] ---**
--Right!
**[19:43] ---**
--Right!
**[19:44] ---**
Kaboom!
**[19:46] ---**
We will go in, too!
**[19:58] ---**
Fight with all your strength...
in accordance with your beliefs!
**[20:02] ---**
Very well!
**[20:04] ---**
Let us wish each other success...
**[20:07] ---**
Rins-*chan*! When I return,
I will give you a big, long hug!
**[20:13] ---**
Wow! He's gonna marry you!
**[20:15] ---**
Wedding! Wedding!
**[20:17] ---**
Tan tan tatan!
**[20:19] ---**
Jenos!
**[20:21] ---**
I'll punch you in the face when you return!
**[20:33] ---**
Small fries... this is
your idea of a trap?!
**[20:37] ---**
I have no choice...
**[20:38] ---**
I shall show you small fries
the true power of Eden!
**[20:44] ---**
The real power of Tao!
**[20:52] ---**
Now you shall witness...
**[20:54] ---**
the infinite life
energy that I discovered!
**[21:17] ---**
What?!
**[21:19] ---**
We're already in a pinch?!
**[21:25] ---**
Now go, Zero Numbers!
**[21:39] ---**
Heartnet, leave this place to us...
**[21:42] ---**
and go!
**[21:49] ---**
Go, XIII!
**[21:51] ---**
Mademoiselle Eve is waiting!
**[21:54] ---**
I owe you!
**[21:57] ---**
The sin of betrayal...
**[21:59] ---**
You shall pay for it now!
**[22:01] ---**
Damn! They're here again!
**[22:06] ---**
I shall assist!
**[22:11] ---**
I'm counting on you!
**[22:14] ---**
Awright!
**[22:15] ---**
Each one of you...
**[22:17] ---**
Don't you dare die!!
**[22:29] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:36] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:43] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:04] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:11] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:25] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
**[23:55] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:55] ---**
*I've finally made it this far...*
**[23:59] ---**
*The journey was short yet it seemed long...
so many things happened.*
**[24:03] ---**
*Well, thanks to those things,
I can now see things better...*
**[24:06] ---**
*Friends... freedom... things like that...*
**[24:12] ---**
*Well, whether we like it or not,
this is the end!*
**[24:15] ---**
*Everyone, let's go out with a bang
so there's no regrets!*

**[00:19] ---**
Bloody Rain!
**[00:27] ---**
Now, go on ahead!
**[00:29] ---**
Right! Thanks!
**[00:31] ---**
Those who were swallowed up
**[00:33] ---**
should be locked up at the very bottom of Eden.
**[00:36] ---**
Got it!
**[00:45] ---**
Ahh! There's more!
**[00:47] ---**
Tearju! Can't you do
something about these monsters?!
**[00:50] ---**
They are probably the life energy
of the people swallowed,
**[00:54] ---**
transformed by nanomachines.
**[00:57] ---**
They will appear anywhere
within Eden's power!
**[01:00] ---**
I don't need lectures! Just do something!
**[01:02] ---**
If you head towards the rear and
go to the control room from its back,
**[01:05] ---**
there are fewer defenses!
**[01:07] ---**
Gotcha!
**[01:25] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:27] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:30] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:34] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:50] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:55] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:57] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[02:01] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[02:03] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[02:10] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[02:16] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[02:22] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:29] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:35] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[03:08] ---**
Live the way you want.
**[03:13] ---**
Freedom, huh?
**[03:16] ---**
Hey, didja say something?!
**[03:23] ---**
"The Carefree Cat"
**[03:35] ---**
Bro, I believe in you!
**[03:45] ---**
Sorry, but you can't go any further!
**[03:49] ---**
Take this! Penetrating Curse!
**[03:51] ---**
Leave him to me!
**[03:54] ---**
Thanks! I'm going ahead!
**[04:05] ---**
No one can stop Eden's progress!
**[04:14] ---**
Wh-What the...?!
**[04:16] ---**
Now let us go, Eve.
**[04:19] ---**
Not to that fake castle...
**[04:25] ---**
But to an even more fun castle...
**[04:30] ---**
Even more fun?
**[04:32] ---**
There will be lots of friends there.
**[04:35] ---**
You want to go, don't you?
**[04:42] ---**
Eve!!
**[04:47] ---**
What's the matter?
**[04:50] ---**
Come, this way.
**[05:16] ---**
Train?! Sven?!
**[05:18] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:19] ---**
I've lost communication with them...
**[05:21] ---**
Wh-What does that mean?!
**[05:25] ---**
Something's strange!
**[05:30] ---**
Wow!
**[05:31] ---**
Amazing!
**[05:33] ---**
It's so shiny!
**[05:45] ---**
Leon!
**[06:01] ---**
Welcome!
**[06:02] ---**
Welcome!
Welcome!
**[06:04] ---**
What would you like to order?
**[06:05] ---**
--What would you like to order?
**[06:05] ---**
--What would you like to order?
**[06:08] ---**
Layla looks so happy...
**[06:10] ---**
Yeah...
**[06:11] ---**
Running a bread shop was her dream.
**[06:15] ---**
I'm definitely gonna protect this shop!
**[06:18] ---**
Hah! I can handle that all alone!
**[06:21] ---**
What?! I'll protect the shop
and Layla by myself!
**[06:25] ---**
I will too!
**[06:26] ---**
I will, too!
**[06:28] ---**
I won't let you lay a finger on my friends!
**[06:32] ---**
Leon!
**[06:35] ---**
You certainly seem
to have gotten stronger.
**[06:38] ---**
Haven't you realized it yet?
**[06:40] ---**
The formidable power we possess...
**[06:43] ---**
Your time has ended.
**[06:46] ---**
You sure underestimate us.
**[06:48] ---**
We will definitely not lose!
**[06:51] ---**
There is only death for traitors.
**[06:55] ---**
Now feel the blade of justice!
**[07:06] ---**
It's gotten awfully quiet.
**[07:09] ---**
Now what will we do, Sephiria?
**[07:11] ---**
It is obvious.
**[07:14] ---**
Are you sure?
**[07:15] ---**
Isn't it the case that, at heart,
**[07:18] ---**
you wish to live freely like
Black Cat, too?
**[07:26] ---**
I shall walk the path I believe in!
**[07:37] ---**
Are you sure you wanna get off here?
**[07:40] ---**
There's quite a ways to town.
**[07:42] ---**
Sure, it's not too far that I can't walk.
**[07:45] ---**
Oh yeah... if you see
that guy... let me know.
**[07:49] ---**
Sure, I will.
**[07:54] ---**
I wonder where he went...
**[07:58] ---**
No one saw him after the battle with Eden.
**[08:03] ---**
Hah! Who cares where that guy went?!
**[08:12] ---**
Sonic Fist!
**[08:18] ---**
Until we destroy Eden, we'll never die!
**[08:27] ---**
What the?!
**[08:28] ---**
N-No way!
**[08:30] ---**
Damn!
**[08:31] ---**
Hey!
**[08:56] ---**
Damn it!
**[09:07] ---**
Eden is starting to move again!
**[09:09] ---**
Where is everyone?
**[09:10] ---**
I've...
**[09:12] ---**
lost communication
with all of them...
**[09:15] ---**
No!
**[09:32] ---**
Oh, it's going away!
**[09:34] ---**
Please come back!
**[09:46] ---**
Everyone, stop resisting
**[09:49] ---**
and give yourself to Eden's rain...
**[10:00] ---**
Oh, what's the matter?
Why are you crying?
**[10:04] ---**
That's not good.
You are not human.
**[10:08] ---**
You are merely a machine part of Eden!
**[10:17] ---**
Now then,
**[10:18] ---**
it is time to remove the barrier
**[10:22] ---**
that separates people's
physical and spiritual self,
**[10:25] ---**
and enjoy eternal sleep
as one living being.
**[10:31] ---**
A little more... just a little bit more...
**[10:34] ---**
My program has entered its final stage!
**[10:39] ---**
Connections reestablished!
**[10:43] ---**
Sorry...
**[10:45] ---**
Your program will never reach completion!
**[10:51] ---**
Well, well... I welcome you, Black Cat.
**[10:56] ---**
You were still alive.
Very stubborn, aren't you?
**[11:00] ---**
Oh well...
**[11:02] ---**
how about it? A game of nine-ball?
**[11:10] ---**
Oh dear...
**[11:13] ---**
Doctor Kanzaki,
release Eve immediately!
**[11:18] ---**
You know, you shouldn't hack into
other people's systems, Dr. Lunatique.
**[11:22] ---**
Oh? And that coming
from the man who stole my data
**[11:27] ---**
and sold his soul to the devil?!
**[11:30] ---**
Now that's a pretty harsh thing to say...
**[11:32] ---**
But that's all right. Eden has
arrived in Palmila City after all.
**[11:37] ---**
Even if a lone Black Cat infiltrated,
what can he do?
**[11:42] ---**
What if it's more than one?
**[11:48] ---**
You shouldn't take us lightly.
**[11:53] ---**
Why you...!
**[11:55] ---**
Well, sorry, but we're
here to take Eve back.
**[11:59] ---**
What can a bunch like you do?!
**[12:01] ---**
And what can you do, all by yourself?
**[12:04] ---**
And what if he's not alone?
**[12:09] ---**
Why you...!
**[12:13] ---**
I thought we gave them fatal wounds!
**[12:20] ---**
We cannot be killed inside Eden!
**[12:24] ---**
Nanomachines!
**[12:26] ---**
Tsk! I don't know what's going on,
but there are more of us than you guys!
**[12:31] ---**
There's plenty of us
to handle the lot of you!
**[12:34] ---**
Train! Sven! Hurry! Get Eve!
**[12:37] ---**
We're running out of time!
**[12:38] ---**
Eve is on the top floor of that tower!
**[12:40] ---**
It's over there!
**[12:42] ---**
Now this is interesting!
**[12:44] ---**
If you think you can
destroy my perfect program...
**[12:48] ---**
Just try it!
**[12:51] ---**
Awright, leave this...
**[12:52] ---**
to us!
**[12:54] ---**
You two...
**[12:55] ---**
Please go to Eve!
**[12:57] ---**
I'm coming with you, Kuro-*sama*!
**[12:59] ---**
You will stay here, too.
**[13:01] ---**
Boo!
**[13:01] ---**
We are already one with Eden!
**[13:04] ---**
As long as Eden exists, we will not die!
**[13:07] ---**
And no matter how many times you revive,
**[13:08] ---**
we shall just destroy you
over and over again!
**[13:10] ---**
Go! Go for it, Mister!
**[13:12] ---**
Beat them up!
**[13:13] ---**
Jenos! Don't you dare lose!
**[13:17] ---**
I'm counting on you to get Eve!
**[13:46] ---**
That power... is it Tao?
**[13:49] ---**
Precisely...
**[13:51] ---**
It is the ultimate technique
**[13:53] ---**
that I learned from a Taoist twenty years ago.
**[14:00] ---**
The Itairiku War...
**[14:02] ---**
It was so horrible, gruesome and tragic
**[14:05] ---**
that it seemed as if
it was out of this world.
**[14:09] ---**
And that is when I thought
**[14:11] ---**
to end this despicable history
of man's hatred and cruelty.
**[14:19] ---**
When the war ended
and I returned to Chronos,
**[14:22] ---**
I quietly enlisted comrades.
**[14:25] ---**
Taoist survivors and a scientist...
**[14:29] ---**
And...
**[14:34] ---**
erasers...
**[14:36] ---**
In other words...
the Apostles of the Stars...
**[14:42] ---**
Creed!
**[14:44] ---**
Humph! What are you doing here?
**[14:47] ---**
Train, I will destroy this man!
**[14:51] ---**
You can go to Eve.
**[14:54] ---**
You!
**[14:55] ---**
Hurry and go, Train!
**[14:57] ---**
How funny...
**[14:59] ---**
A failure... who has become
a mere mortal is going to beat me?!
**[15:04] ---**
You left him for dead...
and now call him a failure?
**[15:08] ---**
Is that what you call noble?!
**[15:11] ---**
Killing ten thousand people at Bioberg...
**[15:13] ---**
Destroying Torneo's research facility...
**[15:16] ---**
Those are all your doing?!
**[15:17] ---**
I could not afford to let
anyone find out about the Project.
**[15:22] ---**
And in order to teach Eve about human life,
**[15:26] ---**
you just let us take her away, huh?!
**[15:30] ---**
You were a fine father to Eve.
**[15:34] ---**
And now, you must let go...
as a good father-of-the-bride would.
**[15:38] ---**
Bride?
**[15:40] ---**
Eve was created for Adam from the start.
**[15:43] ---**
Although Adam is just a
program to make Eden work.
**[15:49] ---**
What?!
**[16:00] ---**
Eve!!
**[16:05] ---**
Train! Where are you?! Train!
**[16:09] ---**
This is no time to play hide-and-seek!
**[16:12] ---**
Come on out, Train!
**[16:17] ---**
Why... are you here?
**[16:20] ---**
I thought you were dead!
**[16:23] ---**
Zagine!
**[16:25] ---**
What's the matter?
Is that gun just for decoration?
**[16:29] ---**
Shoot!
**[16:31] ---**
This is your chance to
avenge your parents' deaths.
**[16:36] ---**
Eve!! Where are you?!
**[16:41] ---**
A flower?! That's the receptor!
I'm sure of it!
**[16:45] ---**
Eve should be there
in the center of that flower!
**[16:48] ---**
Where?! Where?!
**[16:53] ---**
Eve!
**[16:59] ---**
Eve!
**[17:01] ---**
Eve!!
**[17:06] ---**
Why hesitate?!
**[17:08] ---**
Let's hurry and... settle this!
**[17:14] ---**
I... came here to save my friend!
**[17:18] ---**
I don't have time to fight you!
**[17:25] ---**
You're as cowardly as ever!
**[17:28] ---**
If you won't shoot, I will go first.
**[17:35] ---**
Oh, looks like you're finally serious...
**[17:41] ---**
Hah! You hold a gun,
but don't intend to shoot, huh?
**[17:44] ---**
Fool!
**[18:09] ---**
Live or die...
**[18:14] ---**
I'll let you choose.
**[18:19] ---**
What's the matter?
**[18:20] ---**
If you pull the trigger, you might live.
**[18:25] ---**
You're not Zagine.
**[18:29] ---**
It's a trick by this monstrosity Eden...
**[18:32] ---**
The ghost inside my mind
just materialized, is all!
**[18:38] ---**
Humph, who cares?
**[18:41] ---**
The important thing right now is
if you pull the trigger, you can live.
**[18:49] ---**
Listen...
**[18:50] ---**
Those who choose guns
will live in solitude for life.
**[18:54] ---**
Everyone else is
either enemy or prey.
**[18:57] ---**
Those such as the friends
that you are trying to protect
**[19:00] ---**
are just weaklings comforting each other.
**[19:03] ---**
Hah! Weaklings
comforting each other, huh?
**[19:09] ---**
Damn!
**[19:10] ---**
We're surrounded!
**[19:13] ---**
Belze!
**[19:17] ---**
Echidna!
**[19:18] ---**
I'm the only one who can protect you, so...
**[19:22] ---**
Why you...!
**[19:26] ---**
Eve!!
**[19:28] ---**
Dammit! I can't reach her!
**[19:32] ---**
What'll I do?!
**[19:34] ---**
Break the stem of the flower!
**[19:35] ---**
Then Eve will be released
from the receptor!
**[19:38] ---**
H-How?
**[19:40] ---**
Dammit, where's Train when I need him?!
**[19:44] ---**
Hey Train! Do something!
**[19:48] ---**
You don't understand a thing, Zagine.
**[19:53] ---**
Train! I'll treat you to milk!
**[19:57] ---**
That's what makes it interesting!
**[20:33] ---**
Regarding those who were rescued
**[20:35] ---**
from the huge mysterious
flying object that went down...
**[20:37] ---**
It has just been confirmed
that all are alive!
**[20:40] ---**
Repeat, they are all alive!
**[20:48] ---**
Are you sure that it's okay, Eve?
**[20:57] ---**
Uh-huh...
**[20:58] ---**
She was nice to suggest
that you live with her.
**[21:05] ---**
Hello?
**[21:07] ---**
Oh, it's you.
**[21:08] ---**
Are things going well with Jenos?
**[21:12] ---**
You don't have to hide it.
**[21:16] ---**
What? You saw Train?
**[21:20] ---**
No... it's okay.
**[21:23] ---**
Thanks for letting me know.
**[21:28] ---**
Aren't you going to look for Train?
**[21:32] ---**
Nah.
**[21:35] ---**
Thanks, the milk was delicious.
**[21:39] ---**
See you around!
**[21:43] ---**
I didn't get to thank Train.
**[21:46] ---**
For saving me.
**[21:52] ---**
Not to worry...
**[21:53] ---**
He'll suddenly show up before long.
**[21:57] ---**
After all, he's a carefree stray cat.
**[22:07] ---**
Being free is nice, after all.
**[22:11] ---**
Say something?
**[22:12] ---**
Uh-uh...
**[22:28] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:36] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:43] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:04] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:11] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:25] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
