**[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*

*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!*
