Part 36- Kristin Complete

Vash coughed as he rested against the wall. The man, known as Hoppered the Gauntlet, was still 'chasing' Vash around the room. Every once in awhile, Vash would be nipped by the huge shell armor, leaving his coat in shredds.

"I.. can't.. keep.. up.." Vash said between his breathes. He looked up only to see Gauntlet coming right at his head! Vash quickly dodged out of the way, rolling on his shoulder.

"We have to do something." Meryl said.

"But what can we do Meryl?" Milly questioned to her friend.

"I don't know..." Meryl answered back, still starring at the two men fighting. They seemed to be in a cat and mouse short of fighting right now. Vash was the mouse.

"I know." Kristin piped in. They both turned to her.

"What?" Meryl questioned.

"Well, you're better with a gun then me, why don't you shoot the guy?" Kristin questioned.

"You saw how Vash's bullets just bounced off his shell. What can my guns do?" Meryl questioned.

"Well, Vash has been hitting the frount of the shell. Why don't you hit the side or back?" Kristin questioned.

Meryl snapped her fingers. "Why didn't I think of that?" She pulled out one of her guns and aimed it at the man. He was currently attached to the wall, talking like he already won the fight to Vash. Meryl fired, hitting the side of the man. His shell fell off from the frount.

Vash pointed his colt to the man and fired. Vash, didn't hit the man but rather a pole behind him. The pole came down, hitting the man on the head, knocking him out.

He turned to his three friends with a smile. "Thanks."

"Welcome." They all answered back. Then, the lights flickered again.

"I'm very surprised you've gotten this far, Vash the Stampede." Said the voice.

"Who are you?" Vash questioned into the hollow room.

"I'm Leonof the Puppetmaster. I'm here to kill you." He answered with a slight chuckle.

"Vash! It's pointless to attack his puppets! You have to find him!" Kristin shouted out.

"Very cleaver girl!" He prounced to the room. "But, you will never be able to find me."

"We'll see about that." Vash said to the voice, when atleast 20 'puppets' came out of the shadows to 'greet' them.

"This is bad." Meryl commented.

Wolfwood quickly ran up the stairs to the next level. He was reluctant to mention it, but he was worried about that Needle-Noggin'. He knew the girls would be safe, but who knew what would happen to him? Wolfwood eyed his slumped left arm.

'I took a lot of damage back there. I hope I can still be of some use.' He thought to himself. His left arm had pretty much been crushed by Gray the Ninelives. Wolfwood sighed. Such as the life he leaded.

He quickly came into the next room, fully expectiong Vash to still be fighting, but only found a blacked-out man on the ground. Caine, the longshot. Wolfwood ignored the man and continued up the stairs. That's when he heard sometype of weird chanting.

'Well. Might as well.' He thought to himself. He walked down the hallway instead of going up the stairs to the next room.

He reached a metal door, that had 'Keep Out' on it. He pushed the door open slightly, just enough to peak in. He saw a man hunched over, looking into some red jem. It was on strings that were attached to his fingers. An open suit case laying next to him.

"Well, Well, Well. Leonof the Puppetmaster." Wolfwood said, holding his gun. A Cig. dangling out of his mouth, looking like it would fall out in any moment.

The man turned with wide eyed behind the strange shades.

*****

Vash was busy tring to shoot all the puppets, while Milly and Meryl tired to help out. Kristin was leaning against the wall, feeling completely helpless at that moment.

'Why can't I do anything to help out? Why?' She questioned herself. As she said before, she hated being helpless. Helpless meant weak. And weak was something she didn't want to be. Nor, had she ever considered herself a weak person.

She watched as Vash took care of each puppet, one by one. Then more would come to take their place.

'Come on Vash! You can do it!' Kristin thought to herself. She knew he could do it! If only he found the person behind the puppets!

She banged her head against the wall in fustraition. What was she going to do? She didn't have a gun, so shooting them would be uselesss. Ok, she could always try to old, fist to face. Then again, she felt too weak to do that. Then there was the old, hide behind Vash til it's over. She shook her head.

'Crap.' She thought.

Then, all of a sudden all the puppets dropped! It was the strangest thing. They just suddenly dropped! Vash, Meryl and Milly were all surprised.

Wolfwood walked into the room just as calmly as he always is. "Thought you could use a hand."

"Wolfwood!" Vash shouted out happily. "How did you-?"

"I cut the strings to the puppets. Let's just leave it at that." He said. He shrugged his shoulders and turned to the girls. "You girls alright?"

Meryl nodded, so did Milly. They turned to Kristin. Or where Kristin was.

"Kristin?" Vash questioned. He waited. Nothing. "Kristin?" He questioned louder. "KRISTIN?!"

"Oh no! Because we were all distracted, someone must have gotten to her!" Meryl said.

They all looked at each other. They all turned and raced up the stairs, hoping they weren't too late.

Kristin kicked and jabbed as Legato held her. He had one of his arms around her waist, carring her and his other hand was covering her mouth.

"Shhh... little sister. It will be over soon." He said, whispering it in her ear.

This only made Kristin kick more. She then, opened her mouth and bit Legato's hand. Legato let go on impulse. Kristin ran away from him, only to be trapped by another Gung-ho.

"Hello Kristin. So we meet again." Midvalley said. He reached out and gripped her arm. His other hand traveled to her cheek and he grazed with his hand until she turned away. "So, it healed. That's good. I was worried about damanging your pretty face."

Kristin turned, glaring sharply at him. "Don't. Touch. ME!"

She twisted her way out of his grip and backed up, only to bump into Legato. She turned to face him only to he held down by both Legato and Midvalley.

They tied her hands behind her back and gaged her with a clothe.

"Now. Be good." Legato said in a mocky tone. He pushed her against the glass bulb. He pushed her through the glass and into the bulb.

Kristin fell through and landed on someone. She blinked, tring to make the room stop spinning, then her eyes settled on Kitsune.

"Oh great. My great hero." She said, rolling her eyes.

Kristin glared and tried to talk through the clothe.

"Idiot. Wait til I un-gag you." Kistune said, bending down and taking the clothe out. She then started to work on the ropes on her hands.

"Why are oyu helping me?" Kristin asked.

"Simple. I need your help to get the hell out of here. Besides, I'm bored and need someone to talk to." Kitsune said. She finished getting the ropes off.

Kristin turned and looked at Kitsune. Kitsune stared back.

"What?" Kitsune questioned.

"It's just that. It's like looking in a mirroir." Kristin said with a shrug. "It's kinda weird."

Kitsune rolled her eyes. "No duh sherlock." Kitsune sighed. "We have to get out of here. Soon, they are going to attivate this thing and we are both going to get the energy sucked out of us."

"That sucks." Kristin commented.

"Really." Kitsune added.

They both sat down and stared at each other again. "Hey Kitsune."

"Yeah?"

"Have you felt... you know.. weird since you got here?"

"In this bulb. No shit."

"No No! On Gunsmoke. Have you felt like, you're becoming someone else?"

"Yeah..."

"What if... because we are torn apart, we ARE becoming different people? Both of us will change and never be able to be one again."

"And your point is...?"

"My point IS, what if we join.. would we have strange powers like Legato had? Maybe.. strong enough to get the hell out of here."

"But what if it does something else to us."

"Like what?" Kristin raised an eyebrow.

"Like turns us into what we would have become if we livid here our whole life." Kitsune said.

Kristin paused. She might be right. What if they did become someone else? What if they turned back into that strange blue haired girl that used to live on Gunsmoke? Was that even possible?

"We have to try something." Kristin said.

"Fine! Have it your way. We'll join again and become one." Kitsune said, rolling her eyes. "Great. Now I sound like a weird Matrix Charactor."

Kristin stood up and so did Kitsune. They perpered themselves to merge again. Then Kristin spoke.

"Umm... how do we do this.. exactly?"

"I don't know. Let's do like they did on 'Freaky Friday'. Think of the same thing as the same time." Kitsune said with a shrug.

They both closed their eyes. Nothing. "Umm.. what are we supposed to be thinking about?"

"Getting ou of here." Kitsune said.

"Alright." Kristin answered.

They paused.

"Umm... it's not working." Kristin piped up. "Let's try my idea."

"Oh and what has the genius come up with?" Kitsune questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Let's run into each other. You know. It could work." Kristin said.

"Alright." Kistune answered.

They backed away from each other then ran at each other full speed. They crashed into each other.

"Crap.. that hurt.." Kitsune said as she rubbed her sore head.

"Bad idea huh?" Kristin questioned.

Kitsune answered her with a glare. "Let's try it another way. You know. Star Wars style."

"Alright." Kristin said. They sat across from each other, Indain style. They concentraited on combinning together.

"Bretah in... breath out.." Kitsune instructed.

****

Legato raised an eyebrow at the two girls disply. "What are they doing?"

"Who the hell knows with those two." Midvalley said. They continued to watch the two girls in the bulb with mild interest.

****

"ARG! It's no use! We'll never become one again." Kristin said, leaning against the edge of the bulb. "This sucks."

"I fully agree with you for once." Kitsune answered, also leaning against the bulb.

"You know, I just wish I could for once, be a normal kid! I was NEVER normal!" kristin commented, thinking back to her days in school when she would be picked on for liking anime. And being a little chucky around the waist. That's why she watched what she ate now.

"Yeah. Like sucks. Even more now that we are on Gunsmoke." Kitsune said. "All this stupid traveling around, being lied to, betraied.."

"Getting shot, smacked, running into things.."

"Being lead on by guys, getting chased by people.."

"Getting raped.." Kristin said, crossing her arms.

"Raped?" Kitsune questioned with a raised eyebrow. "YOU WERE WHAT?!?!"

Kristin felt a tear fall from her eye. "Yeah." She said in a throaty voice.

Kitsune came over to her and put an arm over her shoulder. "You know. Atleast you get to kick Vash in the nuts a few times. I didn't even get to do that once."

Kitsune coughed up a laugh at that. "Yeah. That was almost too much fun bashing him around."

"I think you gave the boy mental damage. If he didn't have it already." Kistune said, tring to get kristin's mind off what she just said. She may be a cold hearted version of the person next to her, but geez. That was too much even for her. She never thought that.. She shivered inward.

Then, something weird happened. They started to glow.

"Holy Crap! We're becoming one again!" Kitsune said. "Over stupid corney stuff no doubt! Friggin' corn-addicted writers!"

Kristin watched as half of her body went into Kitsune's side. Kitsune also flowed towards Kristin. Their bodies became nothing more then pure light for the final bit of the transformation.

They felt themselves become one again. It was a wonderful feelings to feel whole again.

*****

Legato sheilded his eyes from the light. His eyes giving away his slight questionable self. He did have an idea about what was going on..

-They are merging-Knives said to both Legato and Midvalley. -Even I didn't see this one coming.-

"what shall I do about it Master?" Legato questioned to his master.

-Get me out of the bulb. I think it's about time my brother and I had alittle talk before the big show.- Knives said. His lips turning into an evil smirk.

Legato bowed. "As you wish, Master."
