Correction: Umm... Sephiria was wrong-spelled in my last chapter. It was spelled out like this: Sepphiria. Sorry about that.
By the way, thanks for KyoxSakiFan, Akami-san and YutakaSatoe for leaving their reviews. I really appreciate it. Thanks also for YutakaSatoe for correcting my mistakes.
Train woke up with a start. Where am I? He scratched his huge cat-like eyes and looked around the place. He seemed to be inside a prison cell. It was made of bricks and metal bars. The bars were not ordinary. Train aimed his Hades and fired it into the bar. The bullet melted before it even reached it.
"It's useless, Black Cat." a voice spoke inside the dark. Train looked behind and saw Louise, (He is in my previous work, 'It's never over'. If you forgot him then I suggest you read it again.) one of the Yin and Yang twins. Train noticed that Louise's arms were covered with blood. He looked at the other prisoners; he saw Leon and Charden of the Apostles of the Stars. Leon had an injury in his right feet while Charden's sunglasses were broken. On the opposite prison cell, Train saw the captain of the Chrono Numbers, the real Sephiria and his friend and co-sweeper, Rin. The two girls were unconscious.
"What are you doing in here?" Train asked them.
"We're supposed to be asking you the same question." Louise and Leon replied.
"Looks like even the great Black Cat could not escape to someone like him." Charden mumbled.
Train became chibi and laughed timidly. His opponent was unknown. And because of this opponent he lost his precious red collar and cell phone. Saya, I hope you're fine. Please don't find me. You would only put your life in danger. Train thought as he held his Hades tight. Someone was coming; he could feel it.
The man walked towards them. He had a mask that had a happy face. His eyes were like Train's, back when he was still a merciless assassin. He was wearing a navy blue tuxedo and he seemed to be as tall as Creed. "Well, well, I could not believe my eyes! I've caught the famous ex-Chrono Number 13 and the captain of the Chrono Numbers, two members of the Apostles of the Stars, one of the Yin and Yang twins and a sweeper." the voice echoed with laughter. "I've got more to catch. Let me see my list... Oh! Lin Shaolee, another Chrono Number; Creed Diskenth and Kyoko, from Apostles of the Stars; Lucy, the twin of Louise; the child nanomachine named Eve and the sweeper who resurrected from the dead..." The man looked at Train's reaction. He was holding his Hades tight in his hands with gritted teeth. "Saya Minatsuki..."
As soon as Train heard him mention his beloved's name, he quickly fired his Hades. He knew the bullet could not pass thru but to his astonishment, a wind was pushing the bullet outside. It was Leon's doing. Train grinned at the kid and then, looked back at his bullet. Charden used his 'Blood' to push the wind and the bullet outside the barrier. Then, it was Louise's turn. He looked at the bullet and used his telekinesis to push it with all his might. Bit by bit, their powers altogether passed thru the barrier and it hit the masked face. The mask was about to be broken when the man quickly left for him not to lay bare his real identity.
"Porta, you know what to do." the man said as he slowly vanished from the darkness.
A portal appeared inside the prison cell where Rin and Sephiria were. Porta came out of it and then, she made it vanish. She is 3 years older than Eve. She had a short, curly, silver hair and golden emotionless eyes. She was wearing a black and gold yukata. She took something out of her yukata and used it to slash Rin's and Sephiria's arms.
"No!!" Train exclaimed. He looked at the weapon Porta used; it was covered with dark power. Porta turned around and looked at them. "This dagger will take their spirits away very slowly. If you do not behave and follow Kurai-sama, I will keep doing the same thing until there are no spirits left in them." Porta said as she opened a portal and jumped inside it. The portal appeared inside their cage and Porta slowly went out. "I will call you one by one. Jump right in with no hesitations if you know what is good for your female friends and for you as well."
She called Leon first and then, Louise, Charden and finally, Train. I did not know what happened to the others, but I can definitely sense that that Porta has done something wrong with them when they came back in here. Train thought as he came closer to the portal. He looked at Rin and Sephiria, who were both panting. Their faces were becoming paler and paler. Train jumped right in without knowing what was going to happen to him and the rest of his friends.
Meanwhile, Saya could not think, could not eat and could not sleep in her room. It was already night; all she could do was toss and turn in her bed. She looked at Train's cell phone and searched for contacts. She was thinking whether she should tell Sven, Rin and Eve about what happened to her Train. She knew that if she told them, they would all risk their lives to save him and she would only put their lives in danger. But Saya's thoughts did not agree, No, they ought to know since they have been partners for awhile now. We should be helping each other out. Saya looked at the bright moon outside. Train-kun, please forgive me. I can't just sit here and do nothing. I will... We will save you... Please be alright...
