[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] ---
    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

[23:05] ---
    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] ---

[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!
