Syck, Miracle, and Beginning of the End

The laser sight inched closer and closer to my face bringing with it the faint sense of death. I knew it was coming but I decided to play along just this once. When would they stop sending these idiots with big guns after me and send some real killers like myself. I twitched with anticipation, I couldn't wait to kill my would-be assassin. I might send his body parts back in different packages. Or maybe I should let him rot for a day or two. It was in the high nineties the past few days and in this humid weather a body would rot within hours. Oh well, games up I'm done playing with this fool.

"You pull that trigger and you're dead, don't pull the trigger and you're dead. So I guess you could try and kill me if you reaaaallly wanted to. Well what's it gonna be? Too late you might have gotten a shot off."

With lightning speed he reached up and his left arm turned in a fully automatic gun. The assassin was wasted within the next two seconds. His body writhed and contorted in pain and from the force of bullets. His body fell from the rafters above with a sickening crunch. Click Click Shlip. His gun slid back into his arm just as viciously as it had revealed itself.

"You're next Vash, oh yeah can't forget about brother Knives. Both of you will die. By the hands of your little brother Syck!!"

"So you say you found this man in this condition this morning. My my what a way to go. Looks like someone emptied a hundred rounds in'em. Another physcho runnin' around, what are these times comin to?"

"Yea that's right officer, I was just checkin the warehouse out and I come across this dead fella and shells all over this here floor. I tell ya my heart nearly jumped right on up out my chest!"

The officer noted the witness's southern accent and he related his account to him for the third time. He didn't think the guy could've have killed the man it looked like he was a trained assassin since a hi-tech sniper rifle was found near his body.

"Hey, Hitomi the rifle was never fired. Whoever this guy was tryin' to kill got him first. And he made sure his would-be killer wasn't comin' back, sir."

The low ranked officer gave a quick salute and trotted off to turn in the evidence. Hitomi just watched him go and he tried to figure out the last piece of evidence that was found.

"Knives and Vash, your deaths will come at last, Our creators threw in one last trick, your little brother Syck!"

He read the words painted in blood on the floor tryin' to make sense of it all.

"This guy was apparently going after Vash the Stampeade and some guy named Knives but the disturbing part is that they were all brothers. I hope nothing like the July Incident happens again, I really do."

Hitomi was thinking this as he headed toward his squad and then shifted his thoughts to a more joyous thought of his lovely wife making him dinner. He would never hear the name Syck again and the murder would go unsolved but that doesn't mean that He isn't still out there somewhere…

7 Months Later

"Man what is this I feel it coming. It's power feels huge. It can't be good for me, I'm gonna have to prepare myself."

Vash continued walking and finally met the force he feared meeting.

"I KNEW IT!!! GALDRAG!! The mighty beast of the last level of Sword Warriors. I am so gonna beat this game today."

"Would you get up Vash and help us around the house. We have been working all day and all you have been doing is playing that stupid PS2 game all day. So help us!!"

"Hold on Meryll, I'm on the last boss. The guide says it takes at least three hours to beat him with all the secrets and special plus the bonus levels after him and I have to beat two more times to get the secret endings. I'll be available in like the next nineteen or so hours."

"GET UP RIGHT NOW!!!"

"Huh?"

Vash barely dodges the bullets as he narrowly escapes out the balcony. He crashes down on a few barrels and rolls away unharmed. He smiles and waves to Meryll as he heads to the local bar to see what's up.

"Hey Vash! Here have a drink on me. You know we really appreciate you saving our town and all. We don't care what anybody says about you. You are the greatest."

"Hey shut-up Bixby. There's something happenin' in the city of Juniper. Listen up."

"Today was a terrible day for the city of Juniper. Two-hundred dead after the massacre by a young male. He was described as six foot, with long red hair, a pierced eyebrow, and a huge gun. Look like someone was tryin' to become the new Vash. This idea was confirmed by the message left in blood. Vash and Knives, enjoy your lives, Soon they'll end, by your little brother Syck my friend. This an open threat to vash the Stampeade and some no namer Knives. We can only hope that these two never meet because the destruction could be phenomenal. It'll be a miracle if this isn't the beginning of the end."
