THE FIGHT BEGINS

"LEGATO I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" boomed Vash angrier than ever.

"Then why don't you use that gun of yours and fight me like you did your brother. You can't beat me without it Vash you know that, but now is not the time to talk, now is the time to fight." Legato charges at Vash and raises his gun "You're a weapon Vash you are meant to fight." said Legato as he struck Vash on the head with the butt of his gun. "Ha, this is the folly of your acquired humanity, the folly of all humanity, your sympathy, passion, love, anger, all emotions that cloud judgment, that keep you from the truth. Do you want to see Vash, do you want the truth, of how you came to be? And why? Are these questions you ask yourself everyday? That you must live with, for your life, I know they are, they keep you awake at night in a cold sweat, haunt your peaceful moments, and your dreams turning them to nightmares."

Vash rising slowly seeming very cold and can be sensed in his voice. "What do you know you bastard?"

Legato shook his head slowly and spoke in that cold emotionless voice. "I know how and why you were created, Vash you know you are a plant, you know you heal quickly and can't get sick. Why is this you suppose? Maybe there is a purpose to it? Well Vash there is a purpose for all these things may overwhelm you, may make you worse off."

"Legato what do you know about me?" said Vash trembling

" I'll tell you, Vash you were created as a weapon, it's why you have your skills, and non weaknesses, you were designed as an ultimate warrior."

Vash went silent, he fell back to his knees and cried out in anguish, for he had now realized that his life of love and peace were in vain, his own purpose was to destroy these things, and he has despite all efforts. He then stops suddenly, turns towards Legato and charges with gun in hand and gun arm ready.

Next time: Vash's anger and Legato's choice
