BLACK CAT

When a dirty politician lands a price on his head, Sven jumps at the chance to make a quick buck; Sven's vision reveals an assassination that will cost him the job.

Sven meets a damsel in distress with a tale of family woe and a stack of cash; another young sweeper by the name of Saya has decided to take in the stray Black Cat.

Sven finds out Eve is really an engineered killing machine. Sven promises to save the girl, Black Cat decides to kill her.

Sven and the Black Cat share a target, but their intentions are very different; as the sweeper and the assassin make their moves, the young weapon attacks.

Sven lies low and keeps both Eve and Rinslet by his side; Train Heartnet informs Chronos that he's no longer one of their Numbers, and Creed is sent out to retrieve the stray.

The struggle between Train and Sephiria is interrupted by a Taoist, a survivor of the magic-wielding race which Chronos thought extinct. He sets out to forcefully recruit the Black Cat for Creed's purposes.
