"Get back here, Jerusha!"
Isaac was just tired of this crap. The blue popepi-pipepo was exhausted enough when he was rejected for good but chasing his ex-wife, Jerusha? That just made it even worse. He was about to snatch the pink tail right in front of him when he noticed something in the sky. Jerusha noticed it too and stopped running. Kiel, Loretta, and Mirabelle finally caught up when they suddenly noticed a star in the sky. Isaac and Jerusha looked at it and Jerusha suddenly gasped.
"It's the comet of time!"
"Comet of what?" Loretta was going to hunt more treasure, but that would have to wait. Right now, she was just looking at the sky in awe.
"The comet of time." Isaac explained this sudden phenomenon. "That star comes every 100 years, traveling through time at all the different universes. The popepi-pipepo legend says it has the power to bring back the dead, let it be good or evil."
"Why the heck didn't any of you explain that during the time we met Sheyenne?" Kiel just didn't seem to get the idea of how a comet with the power to bring back dead people could travel time itself.
"Shoot! Why are you asking me?"
"Look!" Mirabelle pointed to the sky. "Can someone explain what that thing's doing?" Everyone else stared at the star until Isaac said something out of fear.
"Oh no…"
"What is it?" asked Loretta.
"It's shooting a teleportation ray at us!"
"WHAT?" everyone just happened to scream in Isaac's ear right before a flash of light appeared and they were gone.
Ah, yes, the beauty of the starry sky. Ashley Winchester and his wife, Marina Irington-Winchester, were sitting on the roof of the bakery, Lilka Eleniak and Terry on the other side, on their date. Brad Evans was inside the building, looking at the poster of the Humanoid Typhoon, Vash the Stampede.
Outside, Ashley spoke.
"Y'know, I realized since Marivel is taking care of our children, she could give us time to build up the relationships between us."
Lilka and Terry snickered.
"You're so sweet, Ashley. And to think the one who took on that terrorist organization would end up like this," she looked into his eyes. "With his wife."
Lilka and Terry let out chuckles loudly. At last, the teenage lovebirds couldn't take it any longer and started to laugh. They were suddenly interrupted when the four of them heard someone running. A blonde-haired kid wearing a poncho, carrying a staff ran up to the bakery. The child was none other than Tim Rhymeless, current Pillar of Baskar Village. His companion, Pooka, flew after him. Tim panted as he got to the door and beat on it.
"I need to have a word with Ashley!"
Brad opened the door.
"He's on the roof." Tim pushed him aside.
"There's not much time!" He immediately ran upstairs and climbed the ladder to the roof. Terry noticed Tim's strange behavior .
"What's his problem?"
"I don't know." Was the reply he got from Lilka. The hatch to the roof opened and a scared-looking Tim jumped up. He was followed by Pooka.
"There's not much time! Get inside!"
"What?" Lilka didn't understand what the big deal was.
"Just get inside!"
Brad's turn to come up on the roof. "What's your problem, kid?"
"It's the comet of time! It's here!"
"Comet of time?" Lilka thought this was a joke.
"A mysterious star traveling the dimensions, going through time, and bringing back the dead every 100 years. Do you realize the chaos it could bring?" He whispered something to Ashley, who suddenly wore a shocked expression on his face.
"No…. you don't mean..."
"Yes. Odessa!" Everyone gasped.
"Oh crap. Why didn't you tell us sooner!" screamed Brad. Suddenly, a ray of light consumed them and they were gone.
Nighttime on this ball of sand usually calmed everyone down, including Vash the Stampede. The bounty on his head had disappeared after his battle with Knives. Apparantly, that maniac of a brother had reformed 2 hours ago and was thinking of what he could've done from the beginning while the pacifist was taking a midnight walk around town. He was going to turn back and head home when….
"Do I have to get an earbleed every time something bad happens?"
Vash heard a voice somewhere behind a building and ran towards the source.
'What is that?' He thought to himself.
Loretta was the first to notice the surroundings around her. "What is this place?"
Mirabelle spoke next. "Is this…..a different part of Filgaia?"
"I don't know", said Jerusha. "But the heat outside is nothing like our home."
"Something's not right here." Kiel was actually not sure where they were. Didn't everybody not know where they were?
"Oh, puh-lease!" Everyone turned to Isaac. "We're obviously on a different planet in a different time!"
Everyone stared except Kiel, who was looking in some direction.
"What? It could be that way! Hey, Kiel! Knock some sense into- Kiel?"
"Someone's coming."
Sure enough, someone did come. No one paid attention to who he was because they were pouncing on him like wild animals. It didn't take long until the 'monster' screamed…
"Aaaaaaahh, please have mercy on me! I mean you no harm, okay?"
Everyone stopped attacking and looked at their target. He was a blonde-haired man with strange armor and blue eyes. He was actually being a coward at this point.
"Mr. Vash? Is that you?" A long-haired woman walked into the alley everyone was in and noticed what situation he was in. "Oh! Hello! I'm Milly Thompson of the Bernadelli Insurance Society! If you're looking forward to getting that $$60,000,000,000 reward, you're too late to get it. Vash the Stampede's name was cleared up today."
"There was a bounty on this guy?" Loretta was shocked. She would've been rich, but they were teleported too late. She remembered to have some manners in a situation like this. "Loretta Oratorio."
"Mirabelle Graceland, ma'am!" Jerusha spoke next.
"Jerusha of the popepi-pipepo at your service!"
"Oh my gosh, a talking mouse!"
"Did you hear what I just said?"
"Sorry about that."
"Isaac's my name, don't wear it out."
"Kiel Aronnax. Call me Kiel."
"Where are you from anyway?" asked Milly.
Before Isaac could reply, several other voices were heard on the other side.
"Is that light gone?"
"Yes, Tim. We are already teleported."
Vash finally got up. "Follow me." Everyone followed the Humanoid Typhoon to the source of the sound. They saw who was there. A blue-haired man, a teenage girl carrying a red umbrella, a boy wearing glasses, a blonde kid carrying a staff with a purple creature, a muscled-man with a strange mechanical glove, and a woman with red hair in pink clothing.
"Who are they?" asked Mirabelle.
"Victims of the comet, perhaps?" guessed Isaac. He was responded to by Vash.
"I'm going in. Cover me."
"Okay, but I'm not keeping any promises." Jerusha was obviously still more like a troublemaker after all this time.
Vash tiptoed up to the people. Just as he was about to reach them, he tripped and fell face-first onto the ground. Everyone turned to him and stayed silent until the red-haired woman spoke.
"Are you okay? Who are you?"
The pacifist got up. "Vash…." The woman examined Vash carefully.
"Vash… Vash the Stampede?"
"Hold on a minute!" The muscled man walked up and grabbed Vash by the hair. He looked at the certain characteristics of this man. "Blonde hair, blue eyes, birthmark, strange arm. There's no red coat or gun. You sure this is Vash?"
"Yes, Brad, I'm sure. He is definitely the real thing."
"Looks like you're a fan." said Vash. "What's your name?"
"My name is Marina Irington-Winchester. This is my husband, Ashley Winchester." She pointed to the blue-haired man.
"Good to see you, Mr. Stampede."
Marina pointed towards the rest of her group. "The girl here is Lilka Eleniak, her boyfriend is Terry (Lilka and Terry blushed at that part), this boy is Tim Rhymeless, his companion is Pooka, and this," she pointed at Brad. "Is Brad Evans, hero of the Slayheim Liberation Army." Brad put Vash down.
"Don't call me a hero." Terry walked up.
"Mr. Vash, I'd like to know where your gun and coat are."
"Oh, yeah! I discarded them in the desert after the battle with my brother, Knives." Everyone just stared. "What? I don't want to have torture in my life anymore!"
"Shouldn't we get somewhere safe?" asked Lilka.
"Come over to our place." Suggested Milly.
"Alright." Ashley turned to the people around him. "Guys, we'll find a way back, but now, let's go with Vash and think of what to do."
As both groups followed Vash back to their place, they never noticed a dark shadow watching them from the outskirts of town.
Alright that's the first chapter. Please review and leave positive notes and have a good day!
