^_^= You don't own TRI-HI-HI-GUN! ISN'T IT GREAT YEAH HA! ::to the tune of Just Communication from GW, which he doesn't own either:: ^_^=

RECAP!!!!

Vash the Stampede, our hero, was on route to find the Gun Ho Guns when a strange accident with the wagon they where riding in brought them to meet another of the new generation of Gun Ho Guns, Hornfreak. Soon though Legato decided to intervene giving them all a challenge to meet him at New Oregon. A challenge to save the town or else it will perish just as the wagon driver did as Legato forced him to do, slit his own throat.

Nine:

"Come on Needle Noggin WAKE UP," Wolfwood shouted trying to wake the snoring gunman.

"Oh come on Wolfwood leave him, we'll just have to eat all of the doughnuts," Critos taunted. Vash spinning up instantly, running down the hallway to the lobby of the hotel turning over furniture and people in a quest to find doughnuts.

"That worked," Wolfwood puffed on his cigarette a jet of liquid immediately putting it out. "Med!"

"Sorry Wolfwood I was aiming for your hair," Med laughed as he drenched Wolfwood from head to toe with hotel Ketchup from his giant Super Soker. "BBBBBBBWWWWWWWAHAHA HAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHYAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I'll ring yer scrony-" Wolfwood was cut off, hit from behind with a jet of relish.

"Oh sorry Wolfwood I was aiming for Med," Critos apologized twirling his miniaturized (but not by much) cross punisher water gun, managing in hitting Wolfwood again as Med ran by sticking his tongue out as he ran. "Get back here!" Med began to run off as he was hit directly on the top of his head with a blast of mustard, from the rafters of the hotel.

"I was never here," Hornfreak whispered as he dragged Critos off to somewhere Wolfwood hoped never to find.

"…. Hey Tongari ya ready t' go yet!" Wolfwood yelled getting as far away from the mess of condiments as possible, and as close as possible to a towel and maybe the cross punisher.

"Well we're here," Knives stated the obvious, looking around, paranoid, at his surroundings. "And we're to late."

"Knives how can you tell?" Vash asked looking around seeing a fountain running normally, toys scattered at doorsteps as if children had only been playing a minute before they had come. "Knives there's nothing r-."

"Vash listen, tell me what you hear," Critos interrupted not a drop of his former humor in his words, only pain and torment.

"… Silence… no noise… not even wind… we're too late," Vash slowed falling to his knees. "They're all gone…."

"Vash the Stampede you have come," Legato laughed. Rai Dei of the Blade, and the robot, Gray the Nine Lives, flanking him, "As you see your dawdling has cost you, all of you. Now this poor village will never have life again. You pathetic disgraces for living plant, all of you. You cling to life with a whim yet you can take it in an instant, without thought. The humans that made you be, shall burn for eternity. Ha!"

In a split second Vash found Med, Critos, Wolfwood, and Chi spin around, their weapons drawn, Vash finding himself surrounded.

"Vash," Med grinned psychotically, "You let your guard down, now we show you why living plants are so horrible. We'll make you kill us!"

"Seiko what are you doing…" Knives trailed as Seiko continued to circle him, his gun raised. Suddenly an odd sensation overcame him, 'this is Legato's illusion technique, and Seiko isn't really doing this, Legato is making me see him doing this and him see me doing this.' "Seiko Listen I'm not doing whatever it is that you are seeing, Legato is controlling your mind concentrate on my voice, remember what ever you're seeing it's not real. Concentrate over come Legato's control."

"I don't believe your lie-," a pang shot up Seiko's spine just like the time Legato had controlled him before. "Dad I'm sorry," Seiko apologized the 'dad' slipping out without him thinking.

"Good," Knives finished wondering himself where this kindness was coming from. The barrier shattered Knives looking down at Seiko kindness reflected in his eyes instead of the hate and betrayal Legato had painted in.

"Vash! What are you doing!" Med yells in terror he Wolfwood, Critos and Chi looking tentatively at Vash, his gun raised a shot grazing Med's cheek.

"Back I don't want to kill you," Vash roared his gun leveling again.

"Vash-" Wolfwood was cut off Vash Firing hitting Critos through his chest.

"Critos!" Seiko fired a shot between the Vash and the rest of the group.

Snapping out of his trance Vash starred a minute, "What… happened?"

"Vash you killed Critos."
