Chapter 2: 17 years of separation

Saturday 4:00 pm

Train was racing across the city of Elsida, In hopes of finding the assassin who killed the mayor. What Train didn't know was that the figure that he had been attempting to track down was standing on top of a telephone pole.

The figure watched Train as he tried to find him but is having no luck so the figure says "So Train is searching for me? I see…It's because we have been apart for 17 years ever since that fateful day, but I'd rather talk about that when we reunite." The figure disappears leaving a black feather to float down towards Train which instantly catches his attention.

"A black feather again? I must be getting close." Train thought as he turns at an alleyway. Running down the damp alley, Train tried to find a shortcut but instead he decided to jump up to the roof and search around from a higher point.

Train saw nothing yet so he decided to jump from roof to roof in an attempt to find a good viewing point. Everything was normal so Train stopped on top of an empty parking structure cursing his bad luck. When he thought he couldn't find him, he saw some more black feathers floating by him and he yelled "Where are all these feathers coming from!?"

An unknown voice spoke saying "Take a guess." Hearing that, Train quickly turned to notice the figure with black feathers floating around him as well. "So, we finally meet at last don't we?" The figure says "Indeed we have Train Heartnet." Train quickly pulled out his pistol and said "How do you know me?" pointing his pistol at the figure.

The figure turned to face him while wearing some sort of mask making it where only his eyes were visible and he said "Who knew your Hades was a pistol, I thought it was a sword, oh well...anyway, I know you because I am with Chronos, and I am Chronos number Zero."

Train said "Chronos number Zero!? What position is that?" The figure said "It is a special position that is only given to the number that can effectively wield any weapon. Your weapon was Hades, a pistol forged of Orichalcum. Two years ago before you left Chronos, you were the strongest of all the numbers and possibly the youngest, now that you left Chronos, I joined after the incident with that giant flying woman."

Train asked "You mean the Eden incident?" The figure says "So that's what it was called, not that I need to worry because I know for a fact that an event like that won't happen again." Train then says "Alright, so what are you doing here?"

The figure says "I was on a mission, didn't you see that? The mayor was actually a mafia lord, just like Lib Tyrant and my mission was to execute him." Train said "That I noticed, except the fact that he had $5,000,000 on his head." The figure said "So I see, and you came to collect from me?

Train said "Not exactly, I came to find out who you are." The figure says "I see, then I'll make you a wager, if you can show me how strong you are, then I will gladly show you who I am." Train agrees to the wager and he gets ready to open fire. The figure pulls out a straight looking sword that curves around the last 6 or 7 inches of the blade and gets ready.

Train asks "What kind of sword is that?" The figure replies saying "This type of sword is a weapon wielded by the most elite samurai given the title of 'Shogun' and the sword is known as the 'Tulwar'." Train says "I see." The two returned to their combative stances and when tumbleweed that showed up out of nowhere rolled on by, the two quickly raced towards each other ready to strike.

Back on the streets, Sven and Eve are running in an attempt to find train when Eve stops as she hears something. "Sven wait, I hear something." Eve said and Sven asks "What's up, what do you hear?" Eve listens carefully and she hears a clashing noise. She says "It sounds like weapons are colliding." Sven then asks "That must be Train; he must be fighting the assassin!" Eve says that it's coming from the top of the parking structure and the two race off into the structure climbing floors to get to the top.

On the top, the figure and Train or clashing gun to sword while Train fires a couple of bullets, the figure dodges one bullet and deflects the other bullet. Train tries to go in close to smack the figure with the gun but the figure swings his sword to try to cut Train but only managed to graze his arm.

Train jumped back to get a little distance, trying to think of a plan as he pulls out a bullet with a red tip on it. The figure analyzes the bullet with his sharp vision and thinks "That bullet's tip has a highly combustible fluid in it. A burst bullet no doubt."

Sven and Eve finally make it to the top of the structure when they see Train loading his gun with a burst bullet when Sven thinks "The burst bullet!? Is the assassin really that powerful to need the burst bullets?"

Train gets ready to fire the bullet and the figure holds his sword upward in front of his chest and he closes his eyes. Train then thinks "Could he be doing that skill again? No, it couldn't be, the skill he used before he made a hand sign but this time he's holding his sword up to his chest, he must be planning something. I better act now before it's too late."

Train said "Alright it's time I saw your true face." Having said that, Train fired the burst bullet at the figure and the figure's eyes burst open with slit yellow pupils and he disappeared into thin air. Train yelled out "What!?" and tried to find where the figure disappeared to. Sven looked around to find him but he looked up and yelled out to Train "Train look out he's in the air!"

Train quickly looked up to see the figure up in the air and then yells "How the hell did he get up there!?" The figure then says "Now to introduce one of my favorite skills, Feather Dance!" The figure straightens out his sword, starts spinning in the air at an unbelievable speed and sends a shower of black feathers towards the ground and Train at the speed of bullets.

Train puts on a shocked look while thinking "Dammit, what the hell is this kind of skill!?" Train then tried to dodge and deflect the feathers, Sven gasped and Eve turned her hands into a large shield to block any leftover feathers. Soon the feathers got faster and Train was cut in both cheeks, shoulders, arms and legs while Eve was struggling to keep the shield up but it soon disappeared and Sven got cut on the left side of his ribs.

Sven clutched the cut trying to keep the blood from dripping too fast, and Train stood strong but was a little exhausted from dodging and deflecting the feathers. Train thought "Damn, his skill was unexpected and now I know where those feathers that floated by came from, but something bothers me, how did he knock out those people just by looking at them? Wait, that's it, now I know how he did that." The figure landed on the ground on his feet and held his sword forward.

Train put his gun away and said "There is no need to continue fighting like this." Sven put on a confused look on his face and asked Train "Train, what are you talking about?" Train puts a grin on his face and says "Well Svenny-baby, the first skill that we saw when he assassinated the mayor was a skill called 'Erase' which puts the victims out cold and when they wake up, they suffer from complete amnesia for a week and I know only one person who can do that skill." Train turns to point at the figure and says "It's him, my long lost brother, Gate Heartnet."

Sven couldn't believe what he heard, Eve just put on a confused look and the figure sheathed his sword. The figure says "I knew you would figure it out sooner or later and your skills are quite the marvel." The figure took off his mask and despite the knee length hair, revealed a face that look exactly like Trains face, golden eyes and everything.

Sven was astonished; Eve couldn't help but put on a shocked look saying "Train, he looks exactly like you!" and Train grinned saying "That's the whole point of having a twin brother. Sven, Eve, I formally introduce my twin brother, Gate Heartnet."

Gate says "It's a pleasure to meet you." Sven asked Train "Train, if he is your twin brother, then why did he try to kill you?" Train answered saying "He didn't try to kill me because if he did then he would have already done it." Sven says "Good point, anyway, Gate I would like to speak to you."

Gate walks over to Sven and asks "What's up?" Sven tells Gate that they are poor and need some extra cash and he asks Gate if he could help them with some bounties. Gate agrees and says "It's the least I could do for ruining your plans at catching the mayor. Every now and then I would go to a café to find some good sweeps and I found a good target for you guys, though not as big as the mayor but a decent catch indeed."

Sven asks Gate what the sweep is and Gate shows him a picture of the target. "Here he is, Donovan Harris, leader of the most notorious gang in all of Elsida, worth a bounty of $3.5 million. If you catch his little servants, the total bounty will be $4 million.

Train puts on a smile and says "Awesome, that's a nice bounty there, that's more than enough to pay our debts and have decent food." Sven agrees but asks Gate with a concerned look "It is a big bounty but can you handle them by yourself? Would you need our help?" Gate replies saying "I doubt I would need help but I thank you for your concern."

Eve turned to the stairs that they came up from and told Sven that she hears something. Sven wonders what she heard and Gate listens in as well and says "Footsteps, at least 5 pairs." After a couple of seconds, a group of five people talking show up and they stop when they see Train, Gate, Sven and Eve.

The dark-blue haired one yelled out to them "Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing here? This is our turf, so you'd better get lost or else." Gate steps forward, swaggers and says "You're turf? Ha, I don't see you're name on it."

The group of thugs get angry and they charge toward Gate with their weapons ready to swing while Gate pulls out his Tulwar. In a flash, the thugs are down on the ground with cuts on their arms as well as black eyes and fist marks on their faces. The thug with blue hair tries to get up but Gate has his sword pointed at him and says "Donovan Harris, your wanted for all sorts of law-breaking activities, it's time to turn yourself in."

2 hours later, Gate, Train, Sven, and Eve are at the sweeper station collecting the $4,000,000 from the bounty and Sven asks Gate "So Gate, by any chance you think you can tell us about yourself?" Gate says that he would be glad to but he has a mission that he has to report to Chronos. Sven said that they can talk later but right now they have debts to pay. Having said that, Sven, Train and Eve get into the car, drive off and Gate just stands there with a grin on his face.

Gate walked down the street with a serious look on his face and he turned at an alleyway and saw a figure with slightly long, blond hair, wearing a suit with a long coat and has a tattoo of the Roman numeral II on the back of his left hand. The figure says "I've watched your progress on executing the mayor and I must say that I am impressed with your work." Gate responds saying "A true Chronos number never shows mercy on their designated targets so it's only common that I work like that."

The figure says "Well put, anyway Sephiria has another important mission for you and needs to discuss it with you." Gate says "Got it, alright then take care Belze." Gate jumps high into the air and vanishes. Belze can't help but think "I still wonder how the kid does that? Oh well, better get back myself." Having said that, Belze walks away with his phone on, informing Sephiria that the mission was a success.

At some café in Elsida, Train is wolfing down food like crazy while Sven reads a newspaper and Eve is reading a book. Sven says to Train "Hey Train, How come you never told us that you had a brother?" Train replies saying "He and I were separated for 17 years after an incident that happened to him and our mom and I almost forgot about him." Sven says "I see...Anyway, who do you think would be our next target?" Train answers saying "Well we scored 4 million bucks so I don't think we need to worry about that for a while."
