The Lost Cat : The Decision
This is my first fanfiction, please be kind!
Black Cat is not mine, how I wish it is, though. Alex is a character is made to piece the whole story together. Let me give you a hint, he is the character that affects Train's thinking. Please review after reading!
"Train Heartnet, former Chronos number. Do you want to join us again? You have helped us get rid of Creed and that gives you more than enough reason to join us." asked Wilzark.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I am no longer a chronos eraser." replied Train coldly as he walked out of the room where he used to receive orders from the elders. He decided, he had his revenge on Creed, the person who killed Saya, and now he wanted to help people. He wanted to atone for his sins of killing countless of people.
"Sephiria! No matter what, I want you to get Train to join us again. You will use any means necessary. Get him and you can leave him to me. I will train him personally." Ordered Wilzark, the highest ranking person of the entire Chronos organization.
"What? There's no need for you to do this personally, I can train him." said Sephiria in shock. Never once did Wilzark want to train someone personally.
"Do you really think you can? I need to make this once wild cat, wild again. Do not question my orders, Sephiria!" smirked Wilzark.
"Yes!" replied sephiria, knowing that she could not defy Wilzark's orders.
Sephiria went to catch up with Train who was about to meet his friends… (1h later from what happened in the previous paragraph.)
"Train, come with me. The Elders have already bought the Sweepers organization. If you stay, you will still have to join back chronos but have to start from the bottom. If you join us now, the Elders promised you position of being second-in-command of the rest of the chronos numbers aside from me." said Sephiria, trying to persuade Train.
Train snorted and said mockingly, "Now that's a promotion."
"I am not kidding, Train. The Sweepers Association now belongs to us, the rest of the sweepers will be notified about this change soon." Replied Sephiria seriously. Train was in agony. Should he go back to his "family" or stay with his new found friends?
"Why don't you go and see the Elders? They seem to have a proposal for you." Sephiria suggested. Train placed his haversack over his shoulders, and walked towards the direction where Chronos headquarters is. Sephiria smiled at her victory of persuading Train.
At Chronos headquarters…
"What do you want from me?" questioned Train coldly.
"I am telling you this out of goodwill," said Wilzark, unusually nice. Train narrowed his eyes. "Your friends betrayed you. They killed Alex, a former eraser. Do you not remember Alex?"
Memories of the past went through Train's mind. He remembered. Alex was a trainee who was forced to join Chronos. He felt that the trainee was like how he was in the past, so he cared about the trainee, not wanting the trainee(Alex) to turn out like him. Alex's sad smile flashed in his mind. How dare Wilzark make use of Alex to get him to come back? He was sure that his friends will NEVER kill his acquaintance. Anyway, he saw Alex a few weeks ago, he was still alive and kicking, living a commoner's life. Train helped Alex escape. He did not want Alex to turn out to be a assassin, a cold-blooded one like him.
"I know what you're thinking, Train. But it's true. Do you remember us having a camera installed in the clothes of trainee erasers?(A/N: Sorry, I made that up, I think.) We installed one in Alex, and a few days ago, he went and look for your friends, the female thief, the artificial human, the sweeper with an eye that can see the future. Alex must have known that you were with them by that last battle you have with Creed. But your friends… they killed him. I have the footage" said Wilzark triumphantly.
Train watched the screen with apparent panic. A scream engulfed the whole room. Alex fell to the ground, with Eve's weapon stuck in him. Train could not believe it. His friends, just killed someone innocent! Alex was no longer involved in that Chronos mess, and just wanted to look for him. But they killed him!
"So what is your decision, Train Heartnet?" asked Wilzark, despite knowing the answer.
"Get Sephiria to give me some missions. My skills are rusty and I need to polish them." said a cold and distant voice, as familiar, murderous cat-like eyes looked up.
"Welcome back, number 13." exxclaimed all the elders and Sephiria, as the "pet cat" walked out of the room.
(A/N: Well, it was a pretty short chapter? I needed to check out the responses and see if I should continue this or not. I am not done yet! I am not sure how many chapter I will be making, but I am very sure this will not be a one-shot. I want to continue. The next chapter, I will probably be writing about Train going on some of his missions and meeting his friends accidentally? Yeah! Look forward to the next chapter : Dangerous Encounter. DO REVIEW! I want to see how horrible or well I have done! Pardon me for my grammar mistakes…)
