Trigun part deux 13
By Otaku no baka
Yeah it's been a while since I posted ANYTHING. Why? It's because I started college! But that's not the main reason.
Even after a whole summer, I still do not have the net. Some of it is due to me, but I have been moving around a lot, so it's pretty hard to have internet if you do not have a permanent place to stay at :p That and I do not have a baka labtop either! (Stupid cable only internet....)
But still, I have been typing parts of this story up, (at my apartment lab non of the less,) but it hasn't been up to par like before, and nothing like last year! (Remembers having the net and a good pc and sighs) I sort of have the ending to this worked out, and even working on a better, manga version of this sequel :)
If the boarders look funny, it's because I have been experimenting with then. For some reason, edit doesn't let me use my old fashion ones, so I have to get creative.
For those of you who need a quick shonen-ai or romance fix from a fighting game, I have a few authors; just ask in a review. Ok let me shut up now since you probably skipped this and read the long story.
I still do not own Trigun! If I did, then I would have Maximum manga ;p
------------------------
Juliean stared at the newcomer. 'So this is Tanto eh?' He observed the man's attire and his sea green eyes. 'Yes...there is something about him.'
The bishop felt eyes roaming him and blinked at the Bluesummer's stare. He shivered visibly and turned to the band.
"Villie. I am glad you are safe." He didn't dare move with the tension in the air. "We came back to get you."
The plant girl smiled and nodded to the band. "Guys this is my brother, Tanto; he's ok!"
Winter stood there and blinked. 'Tanto?! Is he the same Tanto from December?' She stared hard at the man and he noticed her gawking. They both blushed and focused on the matter at hand.
"Juliean give it up and leave us alone! You cannot have the plants at all!" Maria came from behind the clergy to stand up to her cousin.
"Like you can do anything about it dear child." He gave her a tired look as if she was an annoying daughter.
"Please....let my sister be as well as theses people." The clergyman approached the psychic and gave him a look that wasn't the caring bishop from before. "I am giving you this chance human; we will settle this matter at a different time."
Bluesummers showed an emotion of curiosity then and grinned in a sinister way. "Interesting.... yes you could achieve my goal." He approached the man and looked him up and down. "I still do not understand why you do not just use your powers for the plants. Do you even care about them? You are "the" plant correct?" His voice came out in a whisper.
"The" plant? I don't understand..." Tanto stepped back and tensed up as the man stepped with him. "I'm.... just a bishop."
"I know you do not want to reveal your destiny or yourself to these humans...but I know." Juliean smiled in that way again. "I know Master Tanto."
A flash of light laminated the room that caused most of the people to cover their eyes and Juliean Bluesummers was gone.
"I'm glad that was over." Winter sat down in a stool at the bar and let out a breath. She regarded the man that just introduced himself. "Umm...your name is Tanto correct?" The pale haired woman pointed to the leader.
"Yes I am Tanto...why do you ask?"
"May I have a word with you?" The clergyman nodded his head and went to the side with the musician.
"Tanto.... are you from December?" The man blinked at the city he was raised at part of his life.
"Yes...I grew up there in the orphanage twenty five years ago."
"It is really you then...the same bi-haired kid who came to the orphanage then!" A smile widen on her face. "Don't you remember me Father? It's me Winter!"
"Winter?" He recalled a pale girl with the whitest of hair, who came from July after it's second incident. "Ah yes I remember you; we both ended up in the orphanage at the same time."
The musician nodded and closed her eyes in remembrance.
--------------------------
"Hey, what's your name?"
A boy with bi-colored hair that looked to be barely in his teens glanced up from his view on the sand lands. "Tanto....Tanto Vash Wolfwood." He kicked his feet to and fro on his seat to the step of the chruch.
"Wow! So you are named after the legendary priest who helped out December and the Stampede himself?! COOL!"
Younger Tanto cocked his head to the side. The girl had pure white hair, something of a rarity in Gunsmoke. Her skin appeared pale, especially for the inhabitants of the hot desert planet.
"I'm Winter...I do not know my last name because my parents passed away before they told me." She sniffed and sat down next to Tanto, unmindful of her blue skirt. "You know about the July incident right?"
"The first or the second one?"
Child Winter raised a pale eyebrow. "There was another one? Hmm, I was talking about the one...with Bloody Villie. I survived the killing of the town members; and she seemed to be such a nice lady too...."
"Bloody Villie?" Tanto remained quiet after that.
"Yeah.... that's what some men said. I ran out the town and a few injured men were crying out, "It's a girl.... she's a killer! Bloody Villie!"
"........." Tanto focused on the sand dunes in the distance again.
"Oh I'm sorry if you do not like violence. Let's talk about music! You know I love the legendary Midvalley!"
"Is that the man that uses a sax?"
"Yeah! Howdidja know?" She shrugged but continued. "I want to use an instrument like him one day, one that has special abilities too!"
"I.... might join the church one day."
"Really? Like a priest or a bishop?"
"Yeah maybe." He turned to face Winter. "Where did you hear about Bloody Villie from Winter?"
---------------------------
"Yeah...I know it's been a few years and all, since I went out to make something of myself; finally have that instrument of mine...." She showed him her violin case and leaned back against the bar. "But you haven't changed really; same hair, same eyes, same face, just newer clothing. I thought you hated the church robe when we were growing up."
The clergyman shrugged. "Well you do get used to it after a while. That and it makes an interesting cover."
"Cover?" She blinked and almost fell over as Tanto pulled out a semi missile from his coat. "You were always unusual Tanto. I remember when you used to talk about your fathers all the time."
"Hmm; yes." He ran a hand through his bi-colored hair and sighed. "My creators.... it's been a while."
"Creators? You mean you are not human?"
Tanto pulled out his hand slowly and closed his eyes as strains fell on his face. "No I'm what you may call...a "bio plant." It's hard to put in words what exact what I am. Let's say I am a human with "extensions."
"I see...I knew you weren't normal. Even when I found Villie, there was something off about her." Winter nodded her head. "How about you explain it from the beginning what happened."
"Ah, ok. Well it all started when I was younger..."
The bandmembers and Man group only watched in detected interest. "Ummm...I guess we should leave them alone eh?" Villie rubbed her hair and turned to the Man group.
"This is the most I seen Tanto talk in a while; I guess she is something important eh Mich?" Madison elbowed her partner who smirked.
"Like you and me Madison?" Wraith laughed at his partner's blush and smack on the head.
Soba shook his head and went outside while Lea and Louise conversed in a corner about Villie. The band members only did random stuff such as smoke and goof off.
---------------------------------
"So this is Villie eh sister? The so called offspring of Vash the stampede?"
"Yeah." Vithan closed her eyes and sweatdropped at the stares she received from the man.
"Wow she looks just like him; hair and face." The gunslinger observed her further. "I beat she has the same ideals too."
"Well not really; she isn't really the love and peace Vash that we heard about. Villie has her own uniqueness, that and she is a schzoid."
"So she is more like...that man Knives?"
"Hey, my father isn't that bad," The blond pondered this for a moment. "It's just that him and papa have different morals than each other and are both stubborn."
"Stubborn? Like humans?"
"More like super-powered humans." Louise leaned back in his chair. "But now that this is over, and we finally found Villie, things should be sailing eh sis?"
"I'm not too sure about that; remember, Villie still inherited Vash's tact for getting into situations." Lea pointed out.
"Wait....how do you know so much about papa anyway?"
"Well....you can say that Vash spent some time with our mother as someone else." Louise and Lea smiled to each other and nodded.
"Um....ok...but I still don't get it." Both gunslingers fell over.
--------------------------
"Hope Winter doesn't talk his head off." Kyo remarked, playing with a wooden yo-yo. He ducked his head over a flying bottle. "What?"
"Try to respect our guests ok?"
"You don't usually act like that when we have fans or any type of company..." the musician mumbled behind his breath.
Winter rolled her eyes. "Anyways, what are you doing now Tanto?"
"Well I was off to find my sister and try to eliminate the sudden events of Neo Gunsmoke. Thank goodness that we discovered her here."
"You mean Bloody Villie correct?"
"Yes I am afraid that is so," The bishop sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "The church has me involved in my sister's affairs, so I am basically keeping her under watch so she does not become violent again."
"I see..." She stares at the blond woman laughing and smiling at the conversation with Lea and Louise. "She must have been through a lot eh?"
"Yes she has; both of us have." He rises up from the chair and bows. "If I may, can I do a request?"
"Shoot; there's nothing much I can deny with you." She says with a unique smile
"May me and my teammates relocate here? I just want to rest for a while."
"I don't mind, since this is our pit stop anyway. It's going to be a while before the band moves out to any gig again."
"Thank you so much." Winter blushes slightly as Tanto hugs her.
"Uh...no problem." She stutters at his wide grin.
-----------------------
"Master Bluesummers; back so soon."
The teen let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Juliean?" He stares down at the machine next to him. Both beings are in the middle of the Neo Gunsmoke desert.
Well it appeared to be a machine. Pieces of human flesh covered mechanical parts along with words sprawled out on the chest saying, "Freedom." The "cyborg," had one eye patch and a humanoid face.
"Fine then, Juliean it is." He pulled out a cigar. "So you didn't get the girl then."
"No but I did find something more interesting instead." Bluesummers expression grew into the tradition grin that started with his uncle Legato. "Something much more interesting...."
This part is super short than what I am used to making, but I didn't write this out at first, so that might explain it The next part I am writing out by hand and it should be good, due to the fact that it will finally have Vash and Knives in it, so be prepared!
Next episode: The lost plants of Neo Gunsmoke and what's this? The revival of the Gun Ho Guns?!
