I do not own Trigun but I wish I did. TT If I don't send you a reply thanking you for reviewing it's not because of you it's because I didn't get a chance and forgot, can't, or just plain out forgot. Thank you for reading!
Pain, over whelming fear. A group of humans held a newborn child.
"Unbelievable! The plant gave birth."
Pain, over whelming fear, a group of humans held a newborn child.
"Unbelievable! The plant gave birth."
"This is a remarkable chance to study a plant in detail."
"We could learn so much!"
"We must tell the others right away!"
The humans walked off as the baby starts to cry. A pleading female voice reverberated in the stark white void.
"Only you can help her, brother."
Knives bolted upright in his chair and put his face in his hand. 'That dream, it was a plea for help.' He stood from his desk and went outside. The mansion he had so conveniently "found" was only two stories tall, but it was long and suited his needs. A wall wrapped around the place and though it was close in the front, the wall extended in the back to make a courtyard. It was this courtyard that Knives now looked over from the wrap around balcony. 'A new plant will soon be born into this world. I must find our sister before she gives birth or the humans will use her for their selfish needs. A new sister that will be like Vash and I, maybe now I will be able to convince him to abandon his worthless cause.'
"Master?" Knives looked towards the owner of the voice and from the looks of his clothes, he had been sleeping.
"Legato, tomorrow ready a vehicle, I'm going out for a while."
"Is there anything else Master?"
"No." Legato nodded and turned. Knives closed his eyes and opened his mind. He asked each one of her sisters about the cry for help. Eventually he found out about a town thousands of isles away. An insane smile twisted across Knives' lips. With this new plant he could finally turn the tide against his brother.
That morning Knives got into the jeep that Legato had prepared. There were a few supplies in the back but most of them he wouldn't need.
"Will you be going alone master?"
"Yes, this is a family matter." Legato nodded. Let him think it's about Vash; it wasn't any of his business anyway. Knives started the car and headed North East. He opened his mind again. His sisters were too far spread out to talk to all of them but he hoped to narrow it down. It didn't work, they didn't know the name. He did, though, find out that the town had two plants. An unusual thing to have seeing as most places had only one. Knives frowned he would make the humans pay for exploiting his kind like that.
The desert stretched on endlessly through out the day and Knives thought about how this would change things. Before this he had to tread carefully with Vash because one false moves and he would lose his brother to the humans. Now, with this new plant, he had a chance to out number him, a chance to win Vash over. But he had to teach her first. He would teach her to be like him, how humans are something to be destroyed. He grinned, 'Kill the spider to save the butterfly.'
The next day, the day after that, and that whole week was the same as the first, iles upon iles, upon iles of sand. He briefly entertained the thought of meeting Vash in one of these towns and laughed. Oh, if only it would happen. Imagining the look on his face when he told him what he was doing just wasn't enough. Knives could picture it now.
"Hey, Vash how's it going?" He would ask his brother's speechless face.
"What are you doing here Knives?" Vash would ask angrily.
"Oh, just on my way to pick up our new sister." Knives would answer casually, like he had done it a million times before. Vash's whole mind and face would go blank in confusion. Knives laughed again, it was too funny not to.
Eventually, Knives came across a bus/truck stop. There were a few trucks out front and as much as he hated to admit it, he had to eat. He parked away from the others and walked inside.
"What can I getcha Hun?" The waitress behind the counter looked at him expectantly with a pad and pencil.
"The fastest thing you have…to go." She looked out the big windows. It was already dark out.
"All right Sweetheart." She went through a door into the back. Knives looked around. There were a few people scattered about. Some of them were hunched down around beers, a trio was playing a game of cards in a corner, and one or two were watching him. 'They have a right to be cautious. I'm a step closer to my goal.'
"Here you go Hun." A small box was set down next to him, "That'll be 3$$." Ignoring her, Knives grabbed the box and headed for the door. He made sure the woman wouldn't complain.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" It was one of the puny humans that had watched him. "These people work hard on this God forsaken rock to give you that food, the least you can do is pay a few measly double dollars!" Knives kept walking.
"You should stop talking and sit before I do it for you."
"Oi, is that a threat?" Knives stopped when he heard the sound of a gun clicking. He didn't have time for this, that's why he hadn't killed these people already.
"I suggest you put that away if you want to live."
"I don't think you have the authority to say that." Knives sighed.
"I told you to put that away." Screams filled the air as Knives used his powers to contort the man's body in an impossible shape. He smiled as the smell of blood filled his nose. As he walked out and started the car, he let go of the woman's mind. He took pleasure in hearing her scream. The only thing that could have made it better was if Vash had been there.
It wasn't until well after the moons rose that he stopped for the night.
