Chapter 6: Gate's Past of disbelief

August 14, 2005

On top of a rooftop somewhere in Rubeck city…

"It seems to be a day in which there are bound to be criminals running around and this city is also under Chrono's jurisdiction so I could kill them if I wanted to but I think I will wait." Gate says while lying down to look at the sky.

From a door on the rooftop, a man with a black suit and a pair of sunglasses with dark blue hair comes out and notices Gate lying down. The man said "How's it going Gate? You're usually on the roof lying down and staring at the sky when you're not on a mission."

Gate says "that is definitely true Jenos; it makes me similar to Train." Jenos replied saying "So you and the Black cat are the same? It's not surprising since you look exactly like him, are you his twin brother by any chance?"

"Yes"

"…"

"What's wrong?"

"Never mind that I asked that. Anyway, since your off-duty like everyone else, why don't you just go home and sleep?"

Gate put on a worried look and said "It's not that I don't sleep, it's the fact that I can't sleep." Jenos put on a bewildered look on his face and asked "You can't sleep? How's that? Are you an insomniac or something?" Gate nodded his headand said "Trust me Jenos, to me an insomniac is only an understatement. I haven't slept in an impossible amount of time."

"Is that so? Then how long haven't you been able to sleep?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah right, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

"Try me."

"17 Years."

After hearing what Gate said, Jenos dropped jaw, his eyes became dots and his face went completely white and a brief silence followed until Gate cocked his head towards Jenos, smirked and said "Told ya."

Jenos finally snapped out of his shock and said "Okay, I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that. Anyway, what have you been up to?" Gate got up and said "I'm glad you asked." He pulled out a little case that had the Roman numeral VII on top of it and handed it to Jenos while saying "Here. I forged this for you."

Jenos took the case and opened it up to reveal a bluish-purple glove with a medal that had the Roman numeral VII on it and he asked "may I ask, why did you make this and how did you make this?"

Gate replied to the questions saying "Sephiria was the one who requested that I forge these and how I made these is a question that will remain unanswered." Jenos put on a surprised look but then grinned and said "Okay, I see. So what metal is it?

"Valkyrium."

"Valkyrium???"

Gate nodded his head and said "It's an enchanted metal said to have fallen from Saturn. Believe me I don't know how it happened, but anyway, when I forge a weapon out of this metal, it's hidden power changes the color of the weapon into something that matches the element that weapon holds."

Jenos puts on a questioned look and asks "Think you could explain?" Gate says "Right. In order to use the power of your weapon, you have to think of what element matches the color of your weapon and it's power will become clear to you."

Jenos still had the questioned look on his face but he understood what Gate was trying to tell him and said "I see. Alright, give me a target; I may as well test it out." Gate agrees and puts up a pole with a bull's eye target on it about 15 meters from Jenos and tells him that it's all set while he gets out of the way.

Jenos puts on the glove, closes his eyes and then thinks to himself "What is the element that matches a bluish-purple weapon? It can't be fire, that's orange. Wind would probably be green and water is blue. Wait a minute, I know."

Jenos opens his eyes and lashes out his hand as wires come out which shoot into lightning bolts and fry the target into flames. Jenos was surprised as to what he did and he happily said "That was so wickedly awesome. My new weapon's element is lightning."

Gate, who was by the vent shaft, congratulated Jenos for discovering his weapon's element and told him "Now that you found out your glove's power, you shall name it whatever you want." Jenos agrees and says "I know what to call it. I will name it Flash Excelion."

Gate says that it's a good name and that he should practice with it so he could perfect it's power. Jenos and Gate sat down and Jenos asked "So tell me something, how is it you became an insomniac was it because of something that happened that time?"

Gate nodded his head and said "indeed it was. It will sound like a little whacked up story but it's true. Anyway, this is how it started…"

Flashback

April 25, 1988

A car was driving up the driveway and when it stopped an orange-haired woman, a brown-haired man and a pair of brown-haired kids stepped out of the car and went into the house.

The two boys were happy to be home from a vacation so they decided to go up to the roof and watch the stars. The brown-haired man in the suit told the woman that those two boys still have a lot of energy even after coming back from a three-week vacation.

The two boys were watching the stars as the night sky had no clouds in it at all and Train believed that tonight is the perfect night for stargazing.

They both enjoyed watching the stars and they were happy until it happened. All the stars disappeared from the sky and the moon became white and black which made Train panic a little and he asked "Wh-what's going on?" Gate wasn't sure what was going on either and all of the sudden, a laser shot from the moon and struck Gate right on his collarbone just below the base of his neck.

Train panicked even more and went to see if Gate was alright and Gate appeared to be unconscious. Train quickly ran downstairs and told his parents what happened.

April 29, 1988

In the hospital bed, Gate is still unconscious while Train tries to hold back his tears but fails miserably and the same happens with his mother. Train's dad asks the doctor if Gate is going to be alright and the doctor says "Ah yes Gate Heartnet. There is no need to worry as he will be just fine. I don't know what really happened but its okay.

Train and his parents were relieved when they heard the news and they went inside the room to see Gate. They saw that his heart rate and his body temperature were both normal and Train's mom went over to check on Gate and she got even happier when she noticed that he begun waking up.

As soon as he woke up, his eyes burst open into slit yellow pupils and the orange-haired woman's eyes went blank and she fell to the floor on her knees until a few seconds later when she got up and Gate was worried and he asked "Mom, are you okay?"

As soon as she heard Gate's voice, she turned to look at him with a confused look and she said "Who…Who are you? Who am I? What is this place?" Gate couldn't believe what he was hearing and got out of the bed to see his mother and asked "Mom, what's wrong, what happened?"

No further response was heard. She just stared at him and then just passed out. Seeing his mom like this, Gate couldn't handle it and then he ran out of the hospital room, down the hall and left the hospital, expecting to never be heard from again.

Gate's dad ends up going after him and tells Train to stay with his mom until he finds Gate but was never found. A couple of days later, Train and his parents had no luck finding Gate so they hoped that he would turn up sooner or later.

Their hopes were shattered.

Two years after that, our parents were murdered and Train saw the whole thing before his eyes. The blond-haired murderer was known as Zagine, titled the best gunman in the world until four months after that, he was found fatally injured on the ground and Train finished him off.

Back to me, I found places that I could stay and rest but with each passing second I grew more restless and after a week, I became an insomniac. Now it's like I live for action.

End of flashback

Jenos was fascinated at the story and said "Wow! Now that does sound like a whacked up story." Gate can't help but chuckle a little bit and then said "You should know something. From what I heard, Train finishing off Zagine was what made him want to join Chronos."

Jenos was a little surprised and said "Okay I think I have heard enough of that story but at least I know how number XIII joined us in the first place." Gate agreed but then asked "I got something to say, how about you and the rest of the numbers join me for some serious training?

Jenos thought about the offer and said "In fact I'll do just that. I'm sure that everybody won't want to miss out on the fun."

Gate put on a grin and said "Awesome. We will begin 4 days from now. In the meantime can you give these to Nizer?" Gate handed Jenos a box that had the Roman numeral V on top of it and then said "Thanks a million Jenos."

Some other place…

Some random guy was running down the street being chased by Train, Sven and Eve until the guy trips on a rock and Train has his pistol over him and says "Sorry but the only place your going to run to is the police station and into a cell." Sven is impressed and says "Well Train, it looks like your brother coming back has an impact on how you do on the job."

At the police station…

Sven leaves the station with some cash in hand and happily says "Alright that's 300 grand in our pockets. Now it's time to pay our debts."

Train finds his phone ringing and he answers it to find Gate calling.

"Hello?"

"Hey Train, how's it going?"

"It's all good; we just nabbed another target and scored 300 grand"

"That's great. Hey Train listen, training begins 4 days from now in Desburg. I'll text message the info to your phone as soon as I'm done here."

"Okay, I'll see you then, bye." click

Sven asks "so Train what's up?" And Train responds saying "Gate starts his Training in Desburg 4 days from now. So it looks like we have something to look forward to."
