======Hospital-Mars=======

The legendary hero that had ended Vicious' reign of terror through the sindicate was.. supposedly

dead. But there he stood. Leaning against the cold pavement of the building. Trying to remember.

*Flashback*

Men crowded around the body. His last words were "Bang"and then gravity did it job and pulled him

to the ground.

"V..Vicious! He's..dead!" A man choked as he hobbled down the stairs, a wound in his leg.

The men stared back and then looked down at the body that lay before them.

"Its Spike Spiegel...." Hushed whispers ran around as they circled his body.

"He's dead. Thats too bad." Another said.

Spike twitched. How could he still hear all this!? HE WAS DEAD!



~Ah. Damn. My head hurts. When will they shut up? DEAD! My life was crap!

And my death was dramatic! I even did "Bang". If you didnt see episodes 1-26 that means

ITS OVER! Hey! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!?..... Maybe Im dead already. Im going to take a nap..~

Spike thought. He tried to stretch his arms and yawn. But..not much use.

"He moved!" As Spike's arms twitched only in the slightest bit.

"Its only a spasm. Lets get out of here." They nodded and walked away.



By that time, Spike's thoughts had faded. He passed out again. Last thing he remembered

was someone dragging him off by his arms...

*End of Flashback*

Spike massaged his forehead as if he had a headache. His eyes were closed and he just stood there.

Leaning against the cold concrete wall of the Hospital building.

~ I Hate Hospitals... ~ He thought..

*Flashback*

"C..." Spike tried to open his mouth and speak. It was dry and so were his lips. They cracked

and he drooled uncontrolably. He felt a freezing metal against his back and an uncomfortable

towel over his naked body. He tried to open his eyes. They were heavy and stayed shut, as if he

had just slept for over twelve hours.

A nurse held a dropper over his mouth. Water leaked into his mouth. He sloshed it around and

swallowed. He lifted his heavy hand up and wiped his eyes clean as he pushed himself to sit up.

Doctors and nurses dressed in white were working on various things in the large room.

Large tubes attached to the wall sat in the room.

"Its Cold. Hell's not supposed to be cold." Spike managed to choke out. A woman doctor

stepped forward and laughed.

"It may seem it. But this is NOT Hell. Its a Hospital. Sir? Can you tell me your name..?"

She had long blonde hair tied back in a ponytail and wore glasses. She held a clipboard

jotted things down.

"Spike Spiegel.."

"Correct. And what year is it?"

"2071."

"Wrong.Mr.Spiegel.Its 2077." Spike stared, jaw slightly open. Nurses poked

at his skin with needles. It didnt even phase him.

"... What the hell are you talking about? Where are my clothes?!"

" I'll explain. Just please calm down... We had to throw out your old clothes..

they were stained with blood. But basically... We brought you back to life..."



*End of Flashback*

Spike uncomfortably tugged at the plain white T-shirt and jeans. He ran a hamd through

his poofy hair. He tried to shake it off. This wasnt like him. But what was going on?

Julia. The one he loved so much...dead. His best friend then a horrible enemy. Dead.

Jet...Jet. And Faye. And Ed. And Ein. Memories flooded back to him. They could be anywhere.

Ed had ran away with Spike. Faye had been pissed off at him when he left. And Jet.. was uncertain.

Surely, they knew he was dead. And the they said they disovered a new solar system.

A system of gates. To travel to the other system. Finding them would be a rare chance.

And they would be different. Older. Spike should have been in his thirties now. But he still

looked mid twenties. Letsee. Ha! Jet would look like an old man now. Faye..whatever.

Maybe in 6 years she would have turned out somewhat decent. Ed? Her going back to her father

wasnt going to happed. He didnt accept her. Damn. He didnt accept anybody.

*Flashback*

*PUNCH!*

*End of Flashback*

Yeah. That man was crazy. Poor kid. Well. Now she would be older. And Ein? Maybe genius lab

dogs were different than other normal dogs..Kinda Funny. He was "revived" on his 6 year anniversary

"death". Supposdely he went through the thing Faye went through. But with better technology, it wasnt that big

of a surprise. BUT HOW THE HELL WAS HE SUPPOSED TO GET TO ANYONE WITHOUT THE SWORDFISH!?

[ A/n: hehehe...Speaking of... ]

A ship passed by overhead. He kinda wondered what kind of spacecrafts they had now. It was only

6 years. But hey, the models WOULD be different, ne? Anyways, he looked up and saw..

HIS SHIP!? THE HELL!? It was magenta pink and he squinted. Yeah. That was it alright! He had to get it back. He ran after it.

Warm tears slid down Ed's cheeks. She smiled weakly and maneuvered the ship towards

a hotel. With the bounty she had just gotten today, She could finally get Ein and herself those

Ice Cream Sundaes. But.. Spike stayed on her mind. She would never forget the day she heard...

* Flashback *

Ed hugged Ein playfully as she passed by a shop with many TVs. The news was on. She pressed her face

to the glass.

"OOOOOOh! News News! Whats the news today?" She sang. It had been about a month since she left the

Bebop crew. She was making by..okay..Somewhat...not at all. And no sign of her father either.

But Ein kept her company!

" Vicious. Overthrown by Spike Spiegel." Ed threw her fist in the air and clapped.

"But sadly, He also died in his heroic efforts to get rid of -----"

The rest of the words were drowned out. Ed didnt want to hear anymore.

*End of Flashback*

And of it. She didnt want to hear anymore of that. Or any of the Bebop Crew. She made up her mind that day.

She was going to be a bounty hunter. Tears blurred her vision.

" Spike.. " She didnt add "-person". It was just Spike. She leaned on the wheel and curled into a ball. The Swordfish

went into a barrel roll

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Ed yelled as it did loops. She quickly shook her head and grabbed the controls and

straightened it out. But the wheels pulled out and hit the ground and she skidded through a field on the outskirts on the city.

The Swordfish steamed. Ed wobbled out and Ein plopped out. She quickly hopped up and laughed.

"Whee! Fun!! Haha! Ed went whooooo~~~~~" She rocked back and forth. But she quickly got serious. She wiped her tears from her

red puffy face. She looked up when she heard a crunch of footsteps on the grass. It was hard to make out the person in the dark.

She quickly pulled out her gun and pointed it in the direction. The footsteps kept coming. A hellicopter flew overby shining

a light down. Probably looking for a fugitive. The person stepped closer and Edward quickly tucked some loose hair behind her

ear and then held the gun tighter with both hands... It was 3 feet away when the hellicopter flew right above them. Ed gasped.

".....Spike!?"
