(Author's note: The chapters entitled "Misty's report" aren't really actual
chapters. It's simply a look into Misty's findings and research on Vash's
species. If you skip them, you won't miss out on anything major.)
~¤~Misty's report: "Sex Bulb" ~¤~
"Recently, I found myself in possession of Knives and his medical files and records. It was a dream come true for me, as I have been madly in love with him ever since I saw him on the SEEDS ship (I was the main plant there until my father took me out). Ever since then, I must admit, I've been using him to gain more knowledge of our species, which I will now refer to as "Plants". Recently, this research was taken much farther than I wanted when I was somehow forced into my true plant form, and "gave birth" to a large plant-like bulb that quickly sprouted and engulfed both me and Knives. Although, to this day, I do not know what brought on this change in me, even Knives says he didn't want to "copulate," but the fact still remains I got a first hand look at what Plant sex was all about.
"My body forced some sort of large seed out of my uterus as soon as I changed. It very quickly grew into a bulb the size of a small apartment building, with three chambers and very complex cellular structures. A thick wall of lining, which seems to resemble wet skin, separates the three chambers.
"The Upper and Lower chambers are where all the action begins and ends. As the name suggests, they sit on top of each other. The First chamber sits between the Upper and Lower chambers, and the plant's outer wall. Inside the first chamber is a mixture of liquids, and is apparently the place where the vines reside. Here, they have access to the outside, and the other two chambers. If the vines go outside the chamber, they react to the mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, creating barnacle-like growths on the outside. There are two different growths. One growth simply has the job of secreting a juice similar to masturbation, but much more mucusy. It seems to have only one purpose: to deter bugs or other creatures from harming the bulb. Getting stuck in the thick liquid could surely mean death, because once you hit the outside of the bulb, the second kind of barnacle does its job. These open up, and allow more vines to quickly go in and out of the bulb as they please. They jut out to grab prey, and pull it back into the lower chamber.
"The Lower chamber, then does its job. It digests the prey by secreting very powerful acids. The vines, being immune to this acid thanks to the juicy secretions covering the plant, mixes the prey up, and makes sure they are thoroughly digested. After the acid is drained into pockets covering the Lower chamber, the vines suck up all the remaining nutrients, and send them to the upper chamber.
"This is where is magic happens. Knives and I were suspended in the middle of the room while he proceeded to "pollinate" me. I believe the vines were pumping aphrodisiacs into his body to make him horny enough to even think about doing this. I also believe the same was happening to me. The actual act took three days, and we were supported by the people who were digested, and the nutrients that where fed to us via the vines connected to our backs. I tried my best to keep any people from being eaten, but I failed miserably. The least I could do was bring Vash to the upper chamber. However, Knives didn't quite like that idea, and tried to have him tenderized and digested.
"Thanks to a few missiles from Wolfwood's punisher, the entire act was disturbed, and the bulb killed itself. Maybe it was a survival instinct on my part to kill the thing off, and run to safety. When I woke up, Knives and I were cuddling naked in the storage room.
"I was very embarrassed to have father find us like that."
