Meryl, Milly, Shizuka, Knives and Nicolas D. Wolfwood were walking for almost a day to get to the town where Vash was handed over to. Meryl pointed straight ahead. "Come on! We've almost made it! We have to go help him before it's too late!" she said running towards the town, tripping over her tired feet several times. Nicolas then lifted up his arms to show Milly and Shizuka that he wanted them back (because they were laying their heads on his arms). Wolfwood then ran yelled up to Knives, with Shizuka chasing after him and Milly chasing too. "I'll take that now, thanks for carrying it" Nicolas said while taking his gun from Knives.
They then entered the city and started to head towards the cities prison. "Do you really think he's here" Knives asked. Meryl replied quietly "he must be here". The group walked into the building.
There was an officer sitting at a desk. He was half asleep, leaned back in his chair and his feet on his desk. Meryl spoke in a quiet, depressed voice spoke. "umm...excuse me" she said. The officer opened his eyed. "Can I help you with something?" he replied. Meryl then continued. "Did someone hand Vash over here?". The policeman started saying "Yep, at like 6 am a giant man brought him and collect the reward". Meryl started to force a smile. The officer continued. "But…Some person, who's name we have promised to not give away, bailed him and took full custody of Vash about 3hours later. Meryl lost her smile and slammed her hand on the desk. "WHERE IS HE?!" she demanded. But the officer said that he was not permitted to tell them. Knives, who was with Nikki and the girls, reached for his gun in his pocket. Knives gripped it but, Wolfwood stretched out his arm in front of Knives. "Not is not the time for that, just leave it" Wolfwood said. Knives nodded his head and released the gun. Meryl shed a tear asking the officer again but still, he refused to answer.
Just then, the sound of gunfire started. Milly, Meryl, Knives, Nikki, and Shizuka all ran outside to see what it was.
They opened the door to look outside. They saw a tall man shooting at random people, creating a panic in the town.
Meryl's eyes widened. She then started to walk slowly towards the man. "I know it's him but…" Meryl thought. Meryl stopped walking. "Vash!" Meryl said quietly. "What's happened to you?" she then asked. The man looked and then pointed his gun at Meryl. Just then Knives, Milly, Nicolas and Shizuka ran up to Meryl. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Shizuka yelled to Meryl. Knives then stepped forward with his gun. He then took a good look at the enemy. "He looks like Vash, but, he couldn't be, Vash would never shoot others" Knives said. Nicolas then interrupted. "Vash never did like the colour black either. Since when does Vash wear black and have black hair?" Wolfwood said to Meryl. The Dark Vash gave a smirk. "Well, maybe Vash finally realized how pathetic the human race is" he then said.
Knives then took out his gun and was preparing to fire. Knives also tried to enter the Dark Vash's mind to see who he really was but, somehow, the dark Vash was blocking Knives from entering. "I can't enter his mind! Alright, then I'll just have to fight" knives said. Nicolas then held up his gun as well. A fight was about to start.
