Episode 12: The Battle Cat

Synopsis
Train Heartnet sets out to kill Creed Diskenth to avenge Saya Minatsuki, but he is not the only one, as Cerberus are also after the same target. Sven Vollfied tries to stop him.

Summary
After preparing for their mission, Cerberus set out to assassinate Creed Diskenth. The Apostles of the Stars see them and are prepared. Creed however, is only waiting for Train Heartnet

After having a nightmare of Saya Minatsuki's death, Train goes to Creed's castle. His friends wake up and notice his absense, so they set off to stop him.

Cerberus, who are Jenos Hazard and his partners Beluga J. Heard and Naizer Bruckheimer, locate and attack Creed's castle in order to kill him. The three Chronos' Numbers are attacked by the Apostles: Kyoko Kirisaki, Leon Elliot and Maro. They manage to defeat them by attacking them with the first floor's roof. While continuing their pursuit, Charden Flamberg, Echidna Parass, and Shiki confront the Numbers.

Sven Vollfied, Rinslet Walker and Eve enter Creed's castle, but Eve separates from them to rescue Leon. Rinslet and Sven are captured by "Doctor".

Train gets to Creed, and both fight once again. During the fight, Creed requests Train to shoot him in his head, so that he may recover his assassin nature. Train does so, but Echidna blocks the bullet, angering Creed. Jenos enters into Creed's room, but he falls from the castle due to one of Creed's attacks. Beluga shoots the castle with his bazooka until it collapses, making the captured Sven and Rinslet also fall. Before continuing the fight with Creed, Train decides to save his friends, instead of seeking revenge. Creed is then ambushed by Nizer and Beluga.

Later, in Sven's car, they talk about why Train saved them instead of getting revenge. The conversation than leads to Saya. Sven asks if she was Train's girlfriend. After a few seconds of thinking, he says that she was just a close friend. However, Eve does not think so, and states that Train got dumped.

Trivia

 * The order in which the two trios of Apostle greet Cerberus is mixed up from the manga.
