Disclaimer: I don't own the "gunslinger so dangerous a $$60,000,000,000 reward has been placed on his head!"...The one that two things ever happen to those who catch up with him, "They either crawl away wounded (mostly from self inflicted damage), or they stagger away in disbelief that such a dork could possibly be the man they were looking for!" ...Or any of the other characters in Trigun for that matter.
(Anyone with the 1st Trigun DVD will get that)
Knives grabbed Rem by her arm and pulled her to another door. "Right behind here is where I train all of my Gun-Ho-Guns."
"Gun-Ho-Guns?" She looked at him questionably.
"Yes, I'm going to start using them soon. They're job is to bring Vash back to me. Take him out of the human world and back into mine."
"But if he's done something wrong, why would you want him back?"
"Mistakes can be fixed Rem." Knives opened the tall steel door and brought her into a dark damp room.
She walked in and looked around at all the people, or what she assumed were people. Everyone here seemed so different. She studied the room and recognized someone in the back that seemed to be supervising everyone. She had t suppress her urge to call out to him.
"Legato," Knives called out to the man Rem was looking at, "Please introduce her to everyone."
Hearing Knives voice and the calmness in it startled everyone in the room. Although he seemed different right now, nobody dared to say anything or even move unless spoken too.
Legato, who seemed to be the only one unfazed by Knives quickly came to the entrance of the room and stood next to Rem. "Hello." He whispered to her in an almost sultry voice and smiled at her. She smiled back and him and looked back at everyone in the room.
"Everyone, come here so I can introduce you to Rem. Master Knives brought her here to help us bring Vash to our side."
Everyone else in the room quickly formed a semi-circle in front of the three and bowed their heads down. Knives looked at the group and turned to Legato. "I see Chapel is not here."
"Oh yes. Master forgive me!" Legato got on his knees and bowed down to Knives. "I forgot to tell you that he is meeting with Nicholas now. Everything is on schedule. He should be arriving back within the hour master. Although the priest did put up a struggle, we fixed what was holding him back."
Knives smiled and looked back over his Gun-Ho-Guns. "Thank you Legato, you may stand up now. I want this done now so everyone can go back to their training. We'll start on the left and go from there. Legato, start."
Legato put his hand out and it seemed like he was pulling the man forward with an invisible string. 'But that can't be possible.' Rem said to herself and watched as the man stepped forward.
He was really tall; she didn't even try to guess his height. He also didn't seem to have much of a face. Two black things for eyes, maybe. She has no idea what he was.
"Gray the Nine Lives." Legato said, as if answering her question. The man seemed to be pushed back into the crowd of people.
"You're dismissed." Knives called to him, and Gray left through another larger set of steel doors.
The next two creatures that came up looked very strange to Rem. They were both in closed in something. She would only see the head of one. "E. G. Mine."
And the other one, "Hoppered the Gauntlet." If he was human, his legs were so disfigured, or were those arms? It was all so confusing to her.
After they left, "Monev the Gale." stepped forward.
'Why does he have all that stuff on him?' She asked herself, 'Why does everyone look so weird?'
Before she could think anything else "Leonav the Puppetmaster.", and "Cain the Longshot." were introduced. They were more human looking than the other four, but their presence didn't feel human, and Rem was starting to feel very uncomfortable with these things.
Just then a man in a black suit with strange red eyes walked into the room behind them. "Ah, just on time." Knives called out, not even looking behind him.
"Nicholas," The red eyed man started to say.
"Later!" Knives cut him off. "Right now we're introducing Rem to everyone.
Chapel stared at the woman standing between Knives and Legato. "I am Chapel the Evergreen." He bowed to her. "Pleased to meet you, Rem Saverem." She pulled her hand back from him, startled by his openness and studied his gestures. When she wasn't looking, Knives glared at him and he slipped out of the room.
Next up was "Rai-dei the Blade." He seemed pretty normal. He reminded her of her home on earth. 'Japan, how I miss it.'
What came next shocked her. "Zazie the Beast."
"But he's just a child!"
"Actually," Zazie responded quite annoyed by that comment, "I am not a child, and I hate all children."
"But how can you hate children?" She asked him, but Knives sent him off before he could answer.
Once Zazie left the room a beautiful woman with a sandy trench coat and some metal over her eye appeared up front. "This is Dominique the Cyclops." Rem smiled at her, happy she was not the only woman in this place. Dominique on the other hand didn't look to thrilled by her presence. After she was introduced she just vanished.
"How? What?"
"It's just something she does." Legato smiled, obviously amused by Rem's reaction to Dominique's Demon eye.
The last of the group stepped forward willingly. He was a very good-looking man with slicked back black hair carrying a saxophone. "Hi," He said putting out his hand in a very friendly manner. "I'm Midvalley. Midvalley the Hornfreak."
