Until The End Of You

Starting

Echo and Chasitity arrived in Gem City four hours later. It wasn't a very big or well know city, unless you ewre a sweeper, but many people gathered here. Some were sweepers, others were people with bounties on their heads, and even less still were the inn keepers. People didn't stick to this place very long, it was riddled with bad people.

"Welcome to Gem City." Echo said as she breathed in the foul air that smelled of god only knew what. Chasitity's nose scrunched up when the smell hit her. It definietly wasn't a pretty smell. "This is the place where almost all sweepers start out. Pretty horrid smell huh?" Echo asked.

"Yeah. Who in thier right mind would want to work here?" Chasitity asked. She held her nose. "Who are we going to go after first?"

"First we have to find a place to stay, and then we have to train you." Echo answered. "So we're not going after anyone for a while." Chasitity was giving Echo a look. "You can't transform, Chas. You know that, so instead of using that power to our advantage, we have to give you something else to work with. What do you want to train in?" Echo asked as she walked over to a bench, looked at it, and thought better of sitting on it.

"A staff." Chasitity answered. Echo nodded.

"Well then, we have to find a weapons shop, which shouldn't be too hard." Echo said and then looked around. There was a fairly well known one that was just around the corner from where they were standing. Echo headed in that direction. "After we get our weapons, we'll get our Sweeper ID's." Echo added as her black hair fluttered in the wind. "Get down!" Echo added, Chasitity did as she was told and ducked. Just a split second later a bullet whizzed by and embedded itself in a telephone poll. Chasitity looked at it, there was a faint ticking.

Chasitity's brown eyes widened when she realized what it was. It was a bomb bullet. Qucikly Chasitity turned and ran in Echo's direction. The bomb exploded. The force of the explosion sent both of them flying. Echo was thrown into a building, and Chasitity landed on top of her.

"Echo!" Chasitity yelled as she yanked herself out of the wall and grabbed Echo as she fell. "Echo! Are you okay?!"

"Well it looks like we have a couple of new sweepers. They're women no less." A man's voice said. "Let's have some fun shall we?" He jumped down from the fire escape on which he'd been standing and landed on the ground gracefully.

"Stay the hell away from us." Echo growled as she clenched her teeth and stood. Chasitity knew that Echo was injured badly, she just didn't know where.

"Echo, you shoudln't be standing." Chasitity said as she looked worriedly at her friend. Echo suddenly collasped and started coughing. With her coughs came blood. "I'll take care of him." Chasitity said. Echo nodded.

"A little girl? That's all I get?" the man asked.

"I'm more than you can handle." Chasitity said as she got ready for any attacks that were going to come. He shrugged and let the bullets fly. Chasitity grabbed a metal bar from the ground and rolled towards him. Once she was close enough she nailed him in the shin with the bar, then whipped his feet out from underneath him. The fall cuased this gun to go flying from his hands. He landed heavily on his back. Chasitity didn't give him a chance to get back up, she quickly threw herself on him, and put the metal bar to his neck and pressed down. "I told you." Chasitity said. She hit him upside the head hard enough to knock him out.

"Nicely done, Chas." Echo said. "Let's get him to a police station and get our money. It'll help with getting the things we need." Echo said. She was standing with one of her arms around her rib cage. Chasitity knew that at least one of Echo's ribs were broken, and that if they weren't attended to soon that she'd die.

"We need to get you to a hospital. He can wait a little while." Chasitity said as she dragged him across the ground.

"We turn him in. I'll get any medical attention that I need when we get there. Let's go." Echo said and they headed off down the street. Every once in a while they stopped to let Echo catch her breath. The police station wasn't that far away from where they had been.

After about an hour Echo was released, and they had their IDs. They made over 4,000 on that man. It was a good start. If they wanted to become good sweepers they were going to have to get bigger bounties for that. They checked into a hotel a few blocks away from where all the commotion had started.

"Tomorrow we'll go get you your weapon. I'll have to get a new one too. Carrying around my old one would have brought too much attention to us." Echo added. "For now I just need to get some rest." Echo said and then her eyes drifted closed.

Chasitity knew that she must be tired from all that she'd been through since they'd gotten there. With her injury especially. Chasitity wondered when they were going to go out for another bounty. This was just something that couldn't wait. If she was going to get better than Train then she was going to need to get better fast.

-Train and Sven-

"I can't believe that she's gone." Sven muttered to himself as he stepped out of the shower and dried himself off. Eve was the best thing that had ever happened to him, and he knew that he wasn't going to get to see her again. e figured that he's see her again, but he would never know that it was her.

"Sven!" Train called through the door. Sven stopped his brooding and yelled at Train through the door. "Hurry up! I've gotta go to the bathroom!" Train groaned and Sven glared at a mental picture of his partner. Sven got dressed and then opened the door. Train yanked him out, and jumped into the bathroom. Sven gathered himself off the floor, he'd landed there when Train suddenly yanked him from the door, and headed into the living room. He sat down on a chair near the phone, and waited for a phone call.

He hadn't told Train that he'd called Rinslet to get some information on Yabi. Sven thought it as personal business and it had nothing to do with Train.

As he waited for the phone call he drifted off into the depths of his mind. Sven remembered all the good times that they'd had with Eve. Her eyes seemed to be all knowing, and at the same time, they were innocent and untouched by the evils of the world. Eve was a pure being, even if she'd killed people before.

Eve was his daughter in everyway that mattered. She may not of been from his flesh and blood, but she was his daughter.

Suddenly the phone rang and Sven nearly fell out of his chair. He reached for the phone but someone else beat him to it. Sven knew that it was Train.

"Hello!" Train said happily into the phone. He listened for a moment before handing the phone in Sven's driection. Sven took the phone and righted himself in the chair.

'Hey Sven!' Rins said brightly from the other side of the phone. 'I looked up the information that you wanted, unfortunatly...' Rins trailed off leaving her sentence unfinished.

"Unfortunatly?" Sven asked urging her to continue.

He heard a sigh on the other side of the phone, but Rins continued. 'The only information that I found is about her past, even that's shady.' Rin explained. 'In a summary not much is known about her, and what is known is that she works as an eraser for Chronos. She's extremly loyal and she does what she views as right. In the end, she'll go with what she thinks is best for the person she's entrusted to.' Rins said.

"Alright," Sven said. "Thanks Rins." Sven hung up the phone and sighed. This girl was a mystery and he knew that it was probably going to stay that way. The only person that would know all about her would be Eve.

"Don't worry, Sven," Train said, "Yabi will take care of Eve. I can tell that she's a good person." Train added.

"This coming from the man who used to work for Chronos." Sven muttered.

"Yeah, and I know that she's a good person because she left when she knew that things weren't right. You can't ask more of someone, Sven." Train said seriously. Before Sven could say anything Train walked out of the living room. Sven heaved another sigh and closed his eyes. He was heart broken, but wouldn't admit it. Things would never be the same.
