The 60-Billion Dollar Bounty
A Cowboy Bebop/Triun Crossover

Authors Notes: Alright I've never written a fic that wasn't
based around Ranma 1/2 before so I think I'll give it a shot.
In the Bebop timeline Spike has yet to fight Vicious at the
end and the whole crew is still together. Vash has yet to
fight Knives and this story happens during episode 18. When
Vash is posing as 'Alex' I'm going to state things that don't
follow the original Trigun timeline so I apologize but it
shouldn't be too far from the original.

Disclaimer: Both of these series do not belong to me no matter
how much I wish they were. :-(

Chapter 1: Faye steps in it again

Spike sat in the living room area of the Bebop and watched
as Ed typed furiously on her computer. "Have you found anything
on our guy yet?"

Ed bent back her head at an odd angle and shook her head from
side to side. "Ed has found nothing on Net. It looks like he and
this planet don't even exist." she said with a frown as she turned
her attention back to the screen and continued to search.

Spike sighed as he lit his cigarette. "Guess we'll have to go
with our gut instincts on this one." He stood up and walked to the
Bebops cockpit to find Jet looking at a seemingly endless supply of
star charts. "Do you know where we are?"

Jet shook his head angrily as he tore the map in his hands in
two. "Not a clue. Did the kid find anything?"

Spike shook his head and Jet cursed loudly.

"Damn that stupid woman!" he yelled as he struck the ships
hull with his fist making an indentation.

"Hey be gentle with her. We need this piece of crap to get
off of this rock remember?" Spike said with a smile. "Where did
she go anyway? I haven't seen her in a while."

"She went there." Jet pointed to a bunch of small dots in the
desert landscape of the planet in the ships window.

"What the hell is that?"

"Some sort of town, I think." Jet said as he stroked his beard.
"Said she was going to see if she could get info on our guy." He continued
as he handed Spike a printout of a wanted poster.

"Vash the Stampede also known as The Humanoid Typhoon." Spike
frowned as he looked at the picture of a man with blonde hair smiling.
"How can a guy worth that much look like that." Jet shrugged his shoulders
as he went back to looking at his maps. "I wonder why he's called the
Humanoid typhoon."

"Why don't you go find out." Jet said with a smile on his face.
"If there's one thing Fayes good at it's finding a bounty. Of course
most of the time she gets in over her head."

"So that's why we're a team, right?" Spike said smiling as he
walked out of the bridge. "Call me if the kid learns anything."

Jet grunted a response as he turned back to his maps. "Now just
where the hell are we?"

-----------Kasted City----------

Faye stared at the bottom of her glass with a scowl on her face.
'What the hell did I just drink?' She looked around her table to find that
she had drank five glasses of the wierd concoction that didn't seem to do
what she wanted them to do. 'Why aren't I drunk yet!' She continued to
sit there despondetely while she looked around the bar, observing the
people who lived on this backwater desolate planet.

Faye sweatdropped as she looked around at the scenery and the men
occupying the bar. 'This is like the set of Big Shot or something. What
damn planet is this. Some sort of Wild West world.' she thought with
disdain as she glared at any man that dared take more than one glance at
her. She stood up and stretched, drawing the eyes of every man in the bar,
and decided to actually do some work.

She walked up to the bartender and was about to ask for information
when a young girl came running into the bar. The girl was followed by a
tall man with long blonde hair. the girl was in such a rush she didn't
notice Faye in front of her until it was too late.

Faye winced as the teenaged girl fell on top of her. "Hey watch
where you're going!"

The girl looked like she was about to retort when the blonde man
put his arm around her mouth. "She's very sorry but we were in a rush
and we need some place to hide." he said turning to the bartender.

The bartender looked non plussed as he glared at the two new
patrons. "Rina, what did you do now?" he sighed.

The girl who Faye figured was Rina wrestled her way out of the
blonde mans grip and with a look of anger on her face told him what
happened. "Those Bastard perverts tried to feel me up!"

"Oh come on now it was a harmless little sleight of hand." the
blonde man replied with a smile on his face.

"Alex that's not funny!" the girl pouted as she stared at the
blonde man. "And I made that guy pay for his little sleight of hand."
she said with a proud smirk.

Faye smiled as she listened to the conversation. 'I like her
already.'

Rina turned back to the bartender and with her best puppy dog look
said. "Can we hide here for a while?"

Faye watched as the bartender seemed to change several shades of
white as he dropped the glass he was cleaning to floor. "You guys are
kidding right?" the bartender looked from side to side nervously as did
the other patrons in the bar. "If they saw you come in here my business
is ruined.

Faye took a quick glance back at the door when she heard something.
'You have to be kidding me.' She dropped to the floor as a loud gunshot was
heard and when she looked back up there was a large hole in the wall behind
where she had just been standing. With a growl she walked to the window of
the bar and saw a fat guy with large cheeks, a cannon for an arm, with his
forehead bearing a footmark, shouting for the girl who put it there. With
a smile Faye turned to the girl who was hiding behind the tall blonde man.
"You did that?" the girl nodded as Faye smiled even more. "You got guts kid.
Tell you what I'll do." she said as she straightened up and put on her
sunglasses. "For nearly trying to put a whole in my head I'll finish what
you started."

"Are you crazy you'll get killed!" Rina said tightening her hold on
Alex.

"I'm sorry miss, I can't let you endanger yourself for us." the tall
blonde man known as Alex said.

"Oh. On the contrary I say let's go for it."

Faye turned, as well as Alex and Rina, and watched as a priest who was
eating at the bar stood up and walked over to them. On his back was a large
cloth covered cross. "Wouldn't you agree, Alex?" the priest said with a cocky
grin toward the blonde man.

"I'm sorry old man but I won't need your back up." Faye said with a
smirk as she looked at the sky.

The priest eye was twitching as he tried to control his temper. 'Old
Man!' "Oh and why not?"

"Cause it's already here." with a smile and a wave she walked out of the
bar and faced the fat man with her gun in her hand. "Okay Fat Boy time to make
your face even prettier."

END Chapter 1

Okay that took me a really long time to write so little. I've been really sick
this week and I haven't been able to really get anything done. Expect the next
chapter to be much, MUCH longer.
Later
