Back where Dark Vash was, a fight was about to begin. Wolf Wood and Knives both held up their guns, pointing them at their enemy. About to fire, Meryl ran in front of Nikki and Knives. "STOP IT!" Meryl yelled. Just then, The Dark Vash dropped his gun. He then put his hands on his head and started to scream in pain. "What is wrong?! Wait, Can it be?!? I was created from the real Vash meaning that I'm like him, with his mind" He thought to himself. He then looked up with an evil glare in his eye. "I'll let you go for now, but once I get rid of this mind and find one that does not try to stop me from fighting, don't expect me to go easy on you" He said while starting to walk away. The Dark Vash then thought to himself "Damn, When the hell will Totoya find others to make me invincible? Just Having Vash's DNA in me isn't good enough!" then he disappeared into the horizon with Knives and Wolfwood watching and looking confused.
"Should we stop him?" Knives asked. Nicolas then looked up at Meryl who was standing in front of him. "Are you alright?" he asked to Meryl. Meryl looked at Wolfwood, forced a smile and nodded.
Milly walked up to Meryl. "I don't that was Mr. Vash, he would never kill anyone" She said putting her hand on Meryl's shoulder and smiling.
Just then Shizuka walked up to Wolfwood, Knives, Meryl and Milly. "Wait, the guy you're looking for is Vash?!? Are you crazy? He'll Kill you!" She exclaimed. Wolfwood walked up in front of Shizuka and faced her. "You wouldn't understand, you never met the guy" he said. Shizuka started to blush. She then grabbed Wolfwood's arm laying her head on him and said "Maybe you're right Nikki! I'm sorry, can you forgive me for saying such bad things about you're friend?". Before Wolfwood could answer, Milly walked over with a angry face on. She then grabbed Wolfwood's other arm and rested her head and said "Shouldn't we get going honey?". This only made Shizuka angry.
Meryl and Knives were watching this. "Do you think we should be following Vash to see where he's going?" Knives said to Meryl. Meryl looked up at Knives. "I agree but, I don't think that's possible, Just look at those guys over there" she said pointing at Wolfwood, Milly and Shizuka. "It looks like Wolfwood has started his own fan club". Meryl then asked "He used to work for you, didn't he?". Knives was silent for about 3 seconds then replied. "You mean Nicolas? Umm, well, Yeah, he did. Why do you ask?. Meryl then replied "Then you would have know that he was shot and didn't make it". Knives sighed. "I know, but what about it?" Meryl then smacked Knives across the head. "What was that for?" Knives asked. "DON'T YOU GET IT?!?" Meryl exclaimed. "When we found Wolfwood in the chapel, he was dead. It's not possible that he can be here in flesh?!? There is something about that girl, Shizuka". Knives nodded "I think you're right" he said quietly. They then both walked over to Shizuka, Nicolas and Milly.
Meryl tapped Shizuka on the shoulder. "May I have a word with you?" she asked quietly. Shizuka nodded and released Wolfwood's arm and because Shizuka and Milly were trying to pull Nicolas towards them, this caused Wolfwood to fall on Milly. "Sorry Nikki!" Shizuka said turning and walking with Meryl and Knives. "What can I do for you?" Shizuka then asked. Meryl stopped walking. "Wolfwood was dead when we found him in the chapel. How is it that now he's alive and well?". Shizuka shrugged and said "I don't know". Knives then said "Who exactly are you, and how is he alive? I know you know, don't give me this 'I don't know' crap". Shizuka then turned around and looked at Wolfwood. "Ok. Fine. I'll answer you're questions. My name is Shizuka Kamrio, I am 21 and ever since I can remember, I've been able to heal people". Meryl was shocked to hear this. "I had no idea there was still people like you around!" Meryl said. "How did you know Nicolas was in the chapel and how could you heal him if he was already dead?" Meryl then asked. Shizuka gave a smile. "That's easy. I was walking by a chapel in Augusta City, when I saw Nikki walking up the steps leaving a trail of blood. I decided to follow him inside. I was hiding behind a statue and quietly watched him and when as I was about to go help him, a tall man with blond hair and a red coat entered, went to Nikki realizing he was dead and left to go tell some people , or so I think. Too answer you're other question. I was able to heal him because, when a person dies, their spirit doesn't fully leave the body right away. He may have been dead as in not breathing, no pulse and not being able to move physically, but, his spirit was still active inside his body making it still possible to heal him. Do you understand now?" Shizuka then asked. Knives and Meryl nodded their heads.
Knives walked over to Milly and Wolfwood. "We should go now" Knives said. Knives then turned to Shizuka and Meryl. "Are you ready to go? We should try and catch up to Vash to see what's really going on". Knives then said. As they started to walk Shizuka said "I wonder that Vash meant when he said something about a new mind". Milly replied. "Maybe Mr. Vash is tired of being himself so he wants to be someone else?" she said. Everyone got a good laugh out of that. The group then exited the town.
