Black Cat: Chronos Number Zero
Chapter I: Train's disturbing past
Sapidoa Republic, 7:00 am
It is a lovely morning, with the birds chirping, the wind blowing a gentle breeze, and the sun is slowly coming into view. On the rooftop, laying relaxed on the slanted part is a brown-haired young man with a tattoo of the number XIII on his left collarbone and bright yellow eyes, Train Heartnet, with his hands behind his head looking at the sky. Train thinks to himself, "It's been 2 years since the Eden incident and everything seemed to work out quite nicely. Sven is 32, Eve is 13, and I'm 25, Creed finally gave up his sick obsession with me, Rinslet settled with Jenos, Chronos is still looking for members to replace the traitors and Mason as well as the council of elders and we are still sweepers looking for targets big enough to keep our living expenses stable."
"Even with the world running smoothly, why do I keep thinking about the past?" Train gets a flashback about 15 years ago when his parents were murdered. The one who killed his parents was an assassin named Zagine, and even though Zagine held Train at gunpoint, Zagine said "You could live or die, the choice is all yours." Train said to Zagine that he wanted to live and Zagine decided to teach Train to be the ultimate assassin.
Train snaps back to reality and thinks to himself, "Those were the most horrible days of my life and every time people thought I was an only child, I had wondered about my long lost brother. Where could he be? What could he be doing? I'll think about it later because I'm thirsty." Train gets up and goes for the door but immediately stops when he notices a black feather was floating by. Train had wondered where the feather came from but he decides to ignore it and goes inside.
Train stepped into his bedroom and walked out the bedroom door. While walking down the hallway, he noticed a young lady with long blond hair, Eve, was awake and tells her good morning princess and she just mutters something under her breath. Train makes his way to the kitchen, opened up the fridge, pulled out a glass of milk and started drinking it. Just as Train finished his bottled milk, he noticed a green-haired man, Sven, step out of the bedroom. They both tell each other good morning and Sven says "I see you're up early, but you are the Black Cat so it's probably normal for you." Train says that it's true and Sven says "I'm going to go take a shower, where's Eve?" Train says that she is probably in her room reading a book. Sven says okay and he goes to take a shower while Train grabs another bottle of milk and Eve sits in her room reading a book.
Downtown Sapidoa, 3 hours later
On the hustling and bustling streets of downtown Sapidoa, Train, Sven and Eve all are walking down the street and decided to walk into the Café labeled 'Cait Sith'. As the trio walked in, a tall blond-haired woman standing behind the counter greets them and they greet her back. The trio sits down on the stools, Sven says he will have a cup of coffee, Eve says she'll have a glass of water and Train says that he will have one of everything on the menu. Sven looks at him with a surprised look saying "Whaaaaaaaaaat!?" and Train said that he was only kidding and will have a glass a milk until Sven gets angry, punches Train in the face and says "How the hell did I get stuck with a dumbass like you?" Train gets up and says that he also wants that giant cookie hanging on the wall. Sven sweatdrops and asks, "Annette where did you get a big cookie like that?"
Annette says "I made that cookie for you guys, on the house. You guys did save the world after all and I decided that you all deserved it." Train happily thanked her and she says "Don't mention it. Anyway Sven, you may want to know that there are nothing but big targets on the board." Sven walks over to the board and is taken aback by all the big sweeps that are no less than $400,000. Train surprisingly says "Wow, that's enough money for at least 30,000 gallons of milk." Sven angrily says "No you retarded imbecile that kind of money is going to our bills." Train says "Aw c'mon Sven you know I was joking right?" Hearing the comment, Sven says "Train you do know that it was a corny ass joke right?"
Annette interrupts the boys squabbling and says "Come on you two, stop your senseless bickering and relax." Sven says with a disturbed look "Fine. A true gentleman doesn't waste his breath on such meaningless detail in an argument." Eve was reading her book like she didn't give a damn, Train put on a sarcastic look towards Sven and Sven found a really big target on the bulletin board. Sven says "This is indeed a good one to catch, Rancord Jay, $5,000,000." Annette says "Yes that's a big one alright but let me tell you that he has been elected president of the entire state." Sven couldn't believe what he was hearing just now but then says "Are you serious? Great this is just like that time two years ago when Lib Tyrant was elected Governor for Bracchio city until a certain someone assassinated him." Sven stared at Train with an angry look in his eye.
Train says "Hey, if it wasn't for chronos making me do that, that $2,000,000 would have been in your pocket." Annette interrupts again to say "If you want to capture him, now will most likely be your only chance. His election festival is being held in Elsida and that's where you should catch him." Sven tells Train and Eve that it's time to go to work so they all leave the café, head straight for the car and they drove off. In the car, Sven was formulating a plan to catch their target, Eve was still reading her book and Train wondered about the black feather that he found earlier. Trained pondered to himself "Where did a feather like this come from? It's to large to be a regular feather from a crow so it must've been something else, but what could a feather like this come from? Train decided to look out the window not knowing that Eve was looking out the window as well and they both put on confused looks when they saw a distant shadow run at the speed of a lightning bolt.
Sven then asks "Something wrong you two?" Train replies saying "I could have sworn that I saw something out there." Eve says that she saw something as well. Sven wonders and then says that they were probably just seeing things. As the car drove off towards Elsida, in the distance, a building of some sorts stood and inside the underground structure was what appeared to be some sort of base. The base was the elite military organization Chronos, for they have risen to power and are back in business. In the briefing room, there was a woman with blond hair and a tattoo of the Roman numeral I on her forehead, who had called out to someone in the base. The doors of the briefing room opened and a man with long, brown, shaggy hair, black leather pants with a sword strapped in at the belt, a red shirt, a long dark-blue overcoat and the tattoo of the number 0 in between his eyes, stepped in and walked over to the blond-haired young woman whose name was Sephiria Arks.
Sephiria turns to face the brown-haired figure and says "Welcome back. We have received full confirmation that your target has been executed. Excellent work, we have prepared a file for your next target." Sephiria gives the figure a file and when he opens the file he says "Rancord Jay, newly elected president of the state, charged with practically the violation of every law known, a very dangerous criminal." Sephiria says "Correct. Your mission is to assassinate the target without being discovered. However, there will be so many people there, how would you get out without being found out?" The figure says "Don't worry, even if I was discovered, the people won't remember anything that happened after I execute the target thanks to a very special skill I developed."
Sephiria puts on a confused look and then asks "What special skill?" The figure says "Just wait and see." Having said that, the figure leaves the room. On the outside, Train, Sven and Eve just arrive at the Elsida city border when they notice a sign that says Presidential election ceremony, held outside the Elsida capitol from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. We would like for you to come and have a great time. Sven says "Alright, time to work you two."
Outside Elsida capitol, 4:50 pm
Down the street leading to the capitol, Train, Sven and Eve are just arriving. The president is giving a speech over a microphone while the trio is keeping a look out for openings in which they can capture their target. On top of a building at the opposite end of the street, the brown-haired figure from the chronos base is watching while putting some sort of recording camera on the side of the roof.
The figure says into the head piece "Is this a good angle?" Sephiria, who happens to be on the other head piece, tells him "Not yet." The figure adjusts the camera angle until Sephiria tells him that the angle is perfect as they got a perfect look at the president when zoomed in. The figure then says "Alright, the mission begins now."
On the street, Train, Sven and Eve agreed to a plan in which Sven determines the president's next attempt and afterward, they make their move. Sven reveals his right eye and says "Alright mister president, what's your next move going to be?" Sven initiated his vision eye and his determined look went straight into a horrified look when he saw the president getting stabbed in the heart. Train asks Sven what was wrong and Sven said that the president is going to be killed and they have to act now. Having said that, the trio quickly takes the sidewalk in order to get to the president but they instantly stop when Train notices another black feather float down towards him and he yells out to Sven saying "Sven, Eve, he's here!!!"
Just after saying that, the brown-haired figure appears on the opposite end of the street and dashes through the crowd at an unnoticeable speed. Train quickly tries to catch up to him but the figure is too fast. Just before the stairs, the figure disappears from the crowd, leaving Train, Sven and Eve stumped. Just as the president finishes his speech ending it with "Thank you for coming people and have a nice day as my time as president starts now." The president notices that his bodyguards were knocked out and the figure appears behind him and he says "Sorry mister president, but your time is up." Just after saying that, the figure takes his thin sword and stabs the president in the chest.
Everyone in the crowd stares in horror as the president collapses to the ground with blood gushing out of his chest and the figure closes his eyes while making some sort of hand sign. Train instantly panics and says to Sven and Eve to shut their eyes. Sven asks why but Train told them to just trust him so the trio closes their eyes and the assailant says the word "Erase." The assailant bursts open his eyes and everyone else's eyes blank out and they all faint. Train, Sven and Eve, hearing a lot of thudding noises, open their eyes and notice that everyone has fainted except for them.
Train wonders how and why until he stares at the assailant who stares right back with golden cat-like eyes. Train starts thinking that somehow he might know the assailant but can't think of his name. Shortly after, the assailant disappears into thin and Train wonders "who was that guy and how did he knock all these people out!?" Sven says the same thing and then asks Train "Dammit! Just like 2 years ago. Man our luck sucks out loud. So now what do we do?" Train responds saying "Sven, you and Eve try to gather information about that guy; I intend to find who that guy was."
Sven puts on a surprised look and says "Are you crazy!? You're likely to get yourself killed!" Train replies while walking away saying "I am the Black Cat. I won't be killed that easily."
