Chapter Three: Black Cat Down
By: Asura Mori
Everything happened so fast.
Once minute he’d been standing outside, trying to visualize himself in his adult form, the next he’d been fighting off Echidna and the Apostles of the Stars. Going back just a bit, once they had arrived at Dr. Tearju’s house and met the woman, talked to her about Eve and Train’s condition, Tearju had suggested that Train concentrate on what he’d looked like before the transformation.
She had also warned him that the slightest distraction could change him forever. He had a one shot chance to return to normal… and it all depended on his ability to concentrate. So he had gone outside, dressed himself in his normal clothes, which had been REEEEEEALLY baggy on him since he was now a kid, and pulled out Hades.
Needless to say, it worked and Train arrived just in time to save Sven, Eve, and Tearju from a painful fight with the Apostles of the Stars new recruits. Now he stood between Echidna and his friends, Hades resting easily in his right hand.
“Train Heartnet…” He looked up at the mention of his name to where Echidna stood not five feet away. She stared at him, her gaze dropping to his spectacular pistol that sparked with energy. “It would seem you’ve returned to normal…” she muttered, her expression thoughtful.
“Yeah, and I’ve seemed to have picked up a new skill as well.” Train grinned with a small shrug, causing the nearest Apostles of the Stars soldiers to flinch. They had already seen the ‘new skill’ Train spoke of and the devastating results of that power. Echidna glanced at those few who stepped back, her eyes growing dark. “It would seem that my best option would be to retreat, seeing as how I have what I came here for.” Her eyes drifted over to the woman who stood beside her, who was an exact replica of Tearju. This "clone" was in fact a monkey with the power of imitating a person's looks AND all they knew.
And Train was pretty sure he knew why they had had the monkey imitate Tearju.
Echidna threw down a smoke bomb and disappeared, along with the rest of the Apostles of the Stars. She had no wish to tangle with Train Heartnet again, not now. Train let her go and dropped his gaze to Hades, which sparked at his glance. Smiling, Train holstered his pistol and turned to Sven, who was staring at him in relief. "It's a good thing you showed up when you did. We were about to die." The ex-investigator smiled, as he pushed back a few pieces of his green hair. The brunette grinned as he told his friend that he'd actually been there since the monkey had changed into Tearju, but had wanted to make a dramatic entrance.
THAT earned him a few whacks.

Creed frowned as he watched Sven hit Train upside the head, not liking the closeness the two men shared. He didn't like anyone but himself touching Train.
He was very much aware of the Doctor, who stood back in the corner, along with Echidna. With them was their new friend, that damn monkey whose name he didn't care to remember. It was in the form of Tearju now, barely dressed and as noisy as ever. It was bragging about how it could solve hard problems in seconds and Creed almost made a gagging motion.
He wouldn't be the only one who would be glad when the monkey's usefullness came to an end.
With that happy thought in mind, Creed got to his feet and let the blanket he'd been using fall to the floor. He flexed his newly regrown arm and smiled. Soon. Soon he would have everything he needed. Violet eyes glanced over at the television screen where Train stood laughing. Yes... everything.

Train liked the feeling of having his true form back. Everything that had been hard for him to do, like pulling Hades' trigger and such, was so much easier now. He was back to his usual self and nothing could dampen his spirits...
Nothing except for the fact that Creed was standing inches in front of him.
"Hello, Train." He hated Creed's smile. It was so fake that Train thought it would fall off any second and reveal a jagged hole where it had sat. As funny as that would have been, the smile seemed to ignore his thoughts and stayed there as Creed stepped closer to the brunette.
"I see you've 'healed' from your illness my friend." Creed continued as if nothing were out of the ordinary, as if the two of them talked like this all of the time. "I'm not your friend." Train growled, backing away from the silver-haired man, who had the dignity to look hurt.
"But Train, we've known each other for so long..."
"Two years don't mean anything, Creed. You don't know me."
"I know the 'real' you." Creed snapped, suddenly angry, "I won't ever forget the way your eyes looked. So beautfiul, so deadly... but then that witch ruined you!"
"Stop calling Saya a witch! She didn't do anything to me, except open my eyes up to the truth!" Train snarled, "She made me realize that I was tired of killing! I was tired of being an assassin and so tired of being owned!"
Creed suddenly calmed down and smiled, as if he understood Train's words. "Yes... those bastards tried to own you, didn't they Train? That's why I need you to help destroy Chronos... to destroy those who thought to shackle you..."
"You just don't get it, do you? I. WILL. NOT. JOIN. YOU."
The violet-eyed man looked at him sadly, as if he knew something Train didn't know. "You won't have a choice." Creed whispered, closing his eyes as something slammed into the brunette. Train turned, then fell to his knees as a wave of dizziness hit him. "Wha...?" The words came out slurred, as if he was drunk, but Train knew better. He'd been poisoned...
"Don't worry, Train... It will wear off eventually. But by that time... you will have joined me." Creed was still smiling that fake smile when Train lost consciousness.
To be continued...
