O.O I updated! Aren't you all surprised? Anyways, I'm just too lazy to update or to busy with homework but I decide to update this story because I actually like it. Spike has green hair? I thought it was brown!! Well please forgive my little mistake on his hair color. Now onto the tiny little chapter. :p
Chapter four: Neptune's Rock
Ed shifted her eyes to Ein, he slept so soundly on the floor. He didn't move nor yelp in sleep like he use to, he just simply laid there like a bump on a log. "You've heard of the Red Devil?" Jet asked in a low tone of voice. "Uh-huh." Ed nodded as she spoke. "How did you hear of it? That ship must be at least twenty years old now, only Space Warriors use that type of ship." Spike asked, he was a bit interested in Ed's little story. "Ed had an uncle that worked on the ship..." Faye stood in the doorway, her body was gleaming with little droplets of water. Her hair was flat and conformed around the shape of her face.
"No not mars. I just ran a system check on your background and the ISSP are waiting there for you." Mono beeped as the smiley face disappeared and the planet mars pop up. "You see Vash, the ship is almost on empty. We have enough to reach Mars but as we land they'll get us!" The smiley face bounced back on to the screen and started to quiver slightly. "I don't want to go back into storage." Vash held up his hand. "Alright alright, tell me what is this ISSP and can you find like fuel station on an asteroid anywhere?"
"ISSP, Intra Solar System Police an interplanetary police force they sponsor this bounty show to catch criminals. They also do some things that the general public doesn't know about, and if they did know about it there will be very many unpleasant people. As for your second question, yes there is. Its called Neptune's Rock and its short distance from here, but..it's only used by your most greasy, dim-witted, bounty hunters."
Vash blinked, he didn't understand nor did he even know where he was or even why he was being hunted. "Can you get us there?" "Yes, but how are you going to re-fuel?" Mono beeped, it sounded like it was worried or perhaps terrified. "It's called a disguise."
Faye walked through the doorway, swaying her hips like a field run the just broken through the finish line. She flicked a strain of her hair back and stood next to Spike.
"What else have you learned about Vash?" she asked in very sweet yet diabolical voice. "He's taken a ship with a nuclear-fusion engine and the ship has a program called MONO installed in it." Spike answered but he didn't take his eyes of Ed. He felt like she was holding something back, some sort of secret. "MONO? Isn't that a bit outdated?" "It is, but in the correct hands it can trace and find anyone in part of the universe that's why the Space Warriors use it." Jet stated. Faye responded with "Didn't that neo-terrorist group get massacred?" Jet sighed "I have no clue, some say that they were all killed while others say a few managed to live and now their plotting a new genocide."
Edward looked down at her feet, she hugged her legs tightly. Her arms were starting to go numb but she didn't mind. "So is he part of the Space Warriors or what?" Faye asked. "Judging by his appearance I'd say that he works for the Red Dragons." Spike replied. "I didn't ask for your opinion." Faye huffed, she wanted more information. She wanted to catch this guy and then use the bounty for her gambling debts.
