Chapter 13: Onward ho!
Gavin, Legato and Antan sat in a briefing room. They were waiting for Knives, who says that he needed to speak to them and make a few changes. They each kept each other's distances in the room.
Then the door opened and Knives entered the room. His expression was stern. No one spoke for a moment.
"With the remodeling that Pyro has done to the town, almost succeeding in his mission," Knives started, "a sand steamer has come with construction workers to help. Unfortunately, Pyro's sister and my brother still live."
Antan was next to speak. "What do you suggest?"
Knives glared at Gavin. "Let's ask Pyro, he should be able to have some suggestions."
Gavin didn't look at any of them as he spoke, knowing this was to humiliate him. "We have to get rid of your brother, leaving my sister open to be able to harm with out him getting in the way."
"But," Knives said in a questioning tone. "How do we do that?"
Antan spoke then, her voice was emotionless. "The sand steamer, we can take care of him on the sand steamer."
"But how can you be sure they will be on the sand steamer," Gavin asked.
Knives glared at Gavin again for his stupidity. "It's obvious, you did destroy their vehicles. Why not take the sand steamer, it's faster than on foot."
Gavin nodded. "Than I take it we get on the sand steamer also?"
"Of course, how else are we going to do this?" Then Knives continued. "Oh, and after we do this, Legato is to go with Gavin and Antan is to come with me."
Everyone nodded affirmatively.

The sun was shining as the laughter of children rang in the streets. Construction workers and some townspeople were working on rebuilding a new inn. At the same time, Vash, Nick and Astra kept the children busy and away from the construction workers. Astra's last fight with her brother beat her up pretty badly with a few of her ribs broken and her arm wounded, but that didn't stop her from having fun.
After a third game of dodge ball, Astra needed a rest. Vash was nice enough to buy her an ice cream for her to eat as she watched the others play ball. She smiled and laughed as Vash and Nick got double teamed by the other children.
Milly and Meryl came over and sat on either side of Astra. Meryl sighed. "We got tickets and rooms on the sandsteamer for the next town. The town is called Siruis and it is 50 iles from here. They say that we should be there by morning."
Astra nodded and took a bite out of her ice cream. "I can't wait."
Vash fell over in front of them after being hit in the head by the ball. Astra fought laughter as she took another bite out of her ice cream.
Then Astra turned to Meryl. "So when do we leave?"
"At one 'o clock. So we have some time to buy some supplies before we leave."
Astra nodded, then laughed as Vash got tackled by some of the children.

The rest of that morning went quickly and before they even knew it, Vash, Astra and the others were boarding on the sandsteamer. They all managed to get their own rooms on the sandsteamer. Before they boarded on the sandsteamer, they had lunch and grabbed a few supplies.
Once they got themselves settled in the sandsteamer, Meryl practically had to force Astra to stay in her room and rest. "Your wounds won't become any better if you stay on your feet and run around like a lunatic like SOMEONE I know," Meryl kept commenting.
Astra started to take a nap as the sandsteamer started to head for Sirius. Vash, Meryl, Milly and Nick were on the deck, waving to the spectators as the sandsteamer pulled away. Once the town was out of sight, they retreated inside the sandsteamer to have a drink at the saloon.
"Now Milly, don't drink too much, you know how you get when you do that," Meryl stated.
Nick smiled. "I think most of us know that, Meryl."
Meryl rolled her eyes. "Well, you weren't helping at all that last time that happened. You were encouraging it actually."
Vash took a couple of sips of his beer. "That was an intersting night, I thought."
With that comment, Meryl proceded to hit Vash upside the head. Vash rubbed his head as he finished off the rest of his beer. Then he stood. "I'm going to bed early for a change."
Meryl muttered something incoherently to the extent of, "yeah, right."
Vash walked out of the saloon area and proceeded to his room to shower and head to bed.
