Gungrave
By ChibimanYep this is being an AU fic. For no matter how much you squint, turn your head, or cough there is no way this could have occurred in Trigun as we know it. I think someone else did this cross over as well, but I didn't read it so screw 'em cause my version's probably better. Enjoy. Swearing, spoilers for the whole show, and, of course, Gungrave and Trigun belong to those who are not myself. Also, this was made based off the game of Gungrave, not the recently released anime, so forgive me if it doesn't match up.
This particular story starts aboard the Flying Ship. Two men are walking through the vast storehouse in the bowels of the ship.
Younger Man: Jesus H. Christ! I mean, I knew doing inventory would be boring, but this place probably stretches a mile in all directions.
Older Man: Yep, as we abandoned Earth we took every piece of society or scientific advancement we could fit into our holds. Too bad for us though that most of the people who knew what this stuff was died in the Big Fall. Every so often one of the tech guys sends us to grab some doo hickey off the shelves and then he pokes it for a while before he realizes it's an old Mr. Coffee.
Younger Man: Mr. Coffee?
OM: Before your time son, before your time…
The two men continue down the racks of oddities making sure every numbered item is in it's designated place. The two stop at a metal block the size of a one-car garage. It has a monitor and a few controls on a panel that juts outwards.
YM: Unknown item number 666…I suppose it would be stupid to ask what the hell this thing is.
OM: Well according to this initial report from god knows how long ago it's some sort of freezing chamber, contained within is some form of organic life but no vitals present so they don't think it's a cryogenic stasis chamber.
YM: (Examining the box) There's a big switch that says "Activate" on the side here. Why hasn't anyone, you know, activated it?
OM: Maybe they think is some sort of biological weapon, but if you're so damned curious why don't YOU press the button. (Smiles wickedly to himself thinking he's scared the boy…until he hears a beeping sound) What did you just do!?
YM: I activated it.
The sides of the box begins to separate and a whitish gas hisses out the openings. The two men jump back as the four sides simply drop to the floor. The part that was the front has a large locker standing erect at the end of the now-platform blocking the men's vision of the center. The two step onto the platform and peer into the mist. In the center is a large chair on top of which rests a large man with grayish hair and a large scar covering the left side of his face. He is dressed in a large black trench coat, white gloves, black pants with chaps, and boots. His skin is covered in ice crystals and he is clutching a pair of glasses in his hand.
OM: That is one heck of a thoroughly refrigerated dead guy.
YM: Do you think we should try to shut him back up.
The two men jump back as his right eye opens. The two men are quaking where they stand as he stands up with a series of cracking sounds. He pushes his glasses onto his face; the left frame of the glasses has a black sheet with a silver cross on it, and grabs a large Coffin shaped thing from behind the chair and chains it to both arms so that it hangs behind him. The younger man backs up against the locker as the Dead Man walks forward. The young man cringes as the Dead Man lifts up his hand thrusts it toward the young man's face. The young man opens his eyes to see the man pulling a large black cowboy hat from the locker and placing it firmly on his head. The two men watch in stunned silence as he walks across the room and opens a door to a long since destroyed part of the ship. Beyond the door now is nothing but wind and sky, the Man walks out and plummets as the two run towards the doorway and watch him fall. We see him crash loudly into the ground making a sandy crater from the impact. The man from Beyond the Grave stands up and then begins to walk forward as if noting happened.
YM: (Looking at the older man) So, what should we do now.
We see the two men walking away from the again closed box with a sign attached to it proclaiming in large letters: DO NOT TOUCH.
Gungrave
-Jenora Rock-
We see a series of transports pull into town. Several men proceed down the street dragging three women along with them. They file into the local tavern where a Sax player (Midvalley) is jazzing it up. The crowd begins to mutter as they walk past.
Man #1: Look, it's the Roderick Thieves.
Man #2: Yeah, but who are those girls?
Man #1: They must be captives.
Man #3: They really make me sick.
A mohawked Roderick starts tormenting the liquor boy and is in general being mean spirited when he notices one of his captives gazing at the blue haired gent (Legato Bluesummers) at the end of the bar. He promptly smacks her to the floor.
Nagi (Mohawk): You bitch! You were lookin' at him! You know I can't stand it when you do that! (Begins stomping on her back) I can't stand it!!
[Creeeeak] Suddenly everyone turns to the other end of the bar where Grave stands up from his stool. He turns and stares directly at Nagi who gives the girl one more stomp and then walks over to the ominous looking man in black.
Nagi: (Getting in Grave's face) You got a problem one-eye? Got something to say!? (Reaches into his coat pulls out his gun) Well, I'm all ears.
[Click] Grave in a lighting fast movement pulls out his twin guns, the Cerberos, and puts one to Nagi's face and the other to his chest. Legato puts down his fork and looks intently at the two. Nagi raises his pistol and Grave pulls both triggers sending blood, brain, and Nagi flying against the back wall. Midvalley starts to play something a little more fast paced. The Roderick's all pull out their guns as Grave dives to the side going behind the bar and firing two shots while in mid-air blowing off one Roderick's leg above the knee and nailing another in the eye. Grave grabs the bartender and chucks him onto a table in the far corner right before the Rodericks open fire annihilating most of the bar. They gaze into the smoke as Grave does a somersault into the air firing wildly. The Rodericks break in both directions and only lose one more man and a fine couch in the wild hail of bullets. Grave lands on top of the ruined bar and watches as the men take strategic positions behind beams around the bar. Grave looks over at Legato, the only person who hasn't dived for cover, who has leaned forward against the bar and is smiling at him.
Spiky Haired Commander: (Taking advantage of Grave's distraction) Pincer attack!!
Two men with shotguns jump out on either side of the bar and fire just as Grave dives forward. The two men are taken out by each other's buckshot, which flies around Legato cracking into the bar and whizzing through his hair. Grave crushes a table as he rolls over it, stopping in a crouch. A man with an Uzi jumps out and opens fire. Grave quickly spins around smacking his Coffin into the cloud of bullets which ricochet across the room, three of which slap into the gunman's forehead. Grave then begins to fire wildly in the center of the room, spinning around, leaping into the air, rounding it off by firing with one gun out in front of him and the other hoisted over his head. We see his dozens of bullet casings hitting the ground as we are shown the beams full of bullet holes and the remaining Rodericks falling to the ground into pools of their own blood. Grave turns around and puts one gun over the side of his face as he thrusts the other towards the ground and lets out a heavy sigh.
Spiky Haired Commander: (Jumps out from behind a beam across the room, blood pouring from his left shoulder. Grave turns around quickly) DIE!!
He fires a single shot from his pistol straight at Grave's face. There's a blue flash and the bullet stops less than an inch in front of Grave's face, it falls to the floor. Grave walks over to the man who starts screaming and firing shot after shot at Grave, each bullet falling to the floor as it reaches Grave. Once he is directly in front of him, Grave thrusts his shoulder forward sending the Coffin over his head crushing the man and smashing through the floor. Grave then shrugs his shoulder back quickly, pulling his bloodstained Coffin out of the crater. He walks over to the blood splattered girls and pulls them to their feet. They look at him in bewilderment as he walks out the tavern. Legato watches him go, and then looks up.
Legato: Yes, that was quite the display. Yes, of course, a test is in order.
Legato looks over at Midvalley. Midvalley, whose band mates took a few stray bullets, gulps.
Grave is standing in the dessert, not to far from town, with dozens of Rodericks surrounding him. The one with a scar down his face addresses Grave.
Lucky: The Rodericks are bound by bonds that go infinitely deeper and stronger than a simply family relationship. We will avenge our brethren, no matter who the fool is. That's the Roderick way. (He's distracted by the approach of Legato) Huh? Hey, you! Get lost!
Legato: (Continuing his approach) My, but there are a lot of you. No matter, I must talk to that man, you may all die now.
The Roderick leader looks confused and is about to say something when he and all his men suddenly turn their heads sharply in unison. A sickening cracking sound fills the air as they all tumble to the ground. Grave eyes Legato up and down.
Legato: I want to make a deal.
