Milly, Knives and Shizuka were looking around at the stuff that was in the underground base, while Wolfwood and Meryl were over with Vash. "So, where are the keys too unlock this?" Wolfwood asked Vash. Miaku then stood up and Pointed. "Over behind the stairs" she said.
Shizuka then ran over too where Miaku was pointing. She grabbed the keys which were hanging on the wall, then turned and went too go unlock the door but tripped on he way over. The Keys slid over too Wolfwood's feet. He bent down too pick it up but, just as he stood up, he heard some guns cocking. Wolfwood slowly looked too his side only too see a silver gun pointed at his head. Everyone was surrounded. He then heard a voice. "Drop you're weapons" it said. It was one of Totoya's workers and the Dark Vash's followers.
Wolfwood then slowly stood up. He turned his head too look behind and he saw that Shizuka had been "Helped up", and that Milly, Meryl and Knives had 4 men pointing their guns at them. There was no escape.
Wolfwood then released the cross-gun off of his back. It fell too the ground. Milly and Knives both also dropped their guns. Meryl on the other hand figured she could get away with her derringers which were hidden within part of her clothing, But the men weren't stupid and they noticed that her "cape" was unusually bumpy and heavy, so the checked it, and took out all of the guns.
Just then, the Dark Vash walked in. "We caught these trespassers trying too interfere with Totoya's work" one of the men said. The Dark Vash gave a smirk and then replied. "I finally got what Totoya wanted, plus 4 extras, Totoya will be pleased. Just put them with Vash and that girl for now, I'll wait for Totoya too call to see what he wants done with those 3 girls and the priest" he said. The dark Vash then lifted up a set of keys. "Did you really think I would leave the originals just hanging around like that?". He then snapped his fingers and 2 henchmen went up too Vash (who was on one side) and Miaku (who was on the other side) (On the outside of the prison). They then reached in and grabbed them, holding them against the bars, with their arms around their necks, so that when they opened the gate, no one would try too get away. Miaku found it very hard breath and she was trying too loosen the mans arms around the neck. But struggling only made it worse. Vash also found it hard to breath, but not as much as Miaku. He was also trying too get the mans arms off so that he could get a gasp of air.
Just then, the dark Vash opened the door and told them too get in, and that's just what Wolfwood, Shizuka, Milly, Meryl and Knives did. As soon as Knives entered the small cell, the dark Vash slammed the door shut and locked it, and the 2 men restraining Vash and Miaku let go. "Are you alright?" Wolfwood asked. Vash was trying too catch his breath but he nodded yes. Miaku was also trying too catch her breath, but then suddenly passed out, with her head landing beside Vash's feet. "Miaku!" everyone exclaimed as they went too help her. Shizuka stood back and said in a quite voice "she's alright, just exhausted. She just needs some rest, let her be for now". and everyone listened.
Vash couldn't help but stare at Wolfwood. "I thought you died!" Vash then said. Wolfwood started too laugh. "I was but you really think I'd die that easily?". Shizuka interrupted and said "He was dead, but I was able too bring him back, it wasn't his time yet, and his spirit was not at ease". Vash looked at her very confused. He then said "I'm Vash, who are you?". Shizuka smiled and said "I'm Shizuka". Just as Vash was going too start a conversation with Shizuka, Miaku rolled over Vash's boot and her head was then in between Vash's feet and her head was covered by his trench coat. She then opened her eyes very slowly and lifted her arm too her head. She then because awake and sat up as fast of ever in a panic. "OH MY GOD!" she said. She then looked at Vash and said "I'M SORRY!" over and over again very quickly. Vash didn't know what too say. Miaku then said quietly "Oh God, Please kill me now!". One of the henchmen heard her say that and he walked over too the bars pointing his gun at Miaku's head. "That can be arranged" he said. He then started too pull the trigger but the sound of gunshot was behind him. It was the dark Vash. He had shot the henchman in the arm. The guy gave a scream in pain and was grasping his arm which hut like hell and was bleeding. The dark Vash then said "We can't kill them now. Totoya's returned, and he said he could make use of all of them". He then called too some of his men. "Get the cars ready and prepare too head too Totoya's lab" he said. The men said a quick yes sir then went up above ground.
Milly stood up. "I think their going somewhere!" she then said. Everyone looked at her. Meryl then sat Milly back down. Vash then turned too Milly and said "They are going somewhere, but chances are, we're going too.". Vash, Milly, Meryl and Miaku then heard the Dark Vash's voice behind them, on the out side of the bars. "Well, so you're not all complete idiots". he then pointed his gun at Vash and the others and said "before we go, here's some tips. You listen too Totoya, you live a little longer. You listen too me, you live a little longer. Understood? You try anything between now and the time it takes too get to the lab, you'll regret it!"
Just then, one of the men ran down the stairs. "The cars are ready sir!" he said. The dark Vash smiled. "Great! Within 2 days I'll be completed! I'll be indestructible!" he said. The Dark Vash then said (while some men were opening the gate) "Careful, make sure they don't try anything!". me men nodded then told everyone too get out. Vash and the others did as they were told.
They walked up the stairs and were finally above ground in the daylight. Wolfwood looked too the side, noticing that the men were also packing the weapons that they collected from everyone earlier.
