Anime's that appear in this chapter: Inuyasha, CardCaptors, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun
Cowboy Bebop: A Cowboy is a bounty hunter. Spike is a super good martial artist who can't die. He's obsessed without bounties that are hard to get. Jet used to work for the police but after getting messed up on a mission he quit to be a cowboy. He's the more cautious type. And the Bebop is their spaceship. A woulong is the currency in this anime.
Trigun: Vash the Stampede has a bounty on his head of 60 Billon double Dollars. He is reputed to be the worst outlaw ever and to have destroyed countless cities. For that matter people are unsure of how many he has killed as well. Note that is his reputation. In reality, Vash has never killed anyone and the only reason the cities are destroyed is because people try to capture him for the bounty on his head.
Author note: Miroku is telling this story, but he didn't bother to tell anyone. He just plunged into the story. (Author sits and thinks for a moment) I think he's afraid of staying in a room too long with me...hmmm.
Chapter 7: 60 Billion Double Dollars
Minmei and Zelda laughed as I walked back into the Bebop ship. Fey had left screaming obscenities about some men named Spike and another called Jet. If she ever found either one, I most certainly would offer up a prayer for their souls.
"So Miroku, I hear you lost your head. You know, the one you think with!" Inuyasha clapped his hand on my shoulder in an attempt to remain standing.
I chose to ignore the insult and direct my attention towards Bob. "So, Bob, have you located the next glitch?"
Bob nodded once and the room disappeared behind a flurry of blue confetti and green spirals.
A searing hot wind smashed into my face nearly knocking me onto the dust that posed as sand. Off in the distance a most peculiar banging sound could be heard.
"Well everyone, welcome to Gunsmoke, how of Vash the Stampede." Minmei said very softly.
"Vash the who?" I asked just in time to see a very tall man with spiky yellow hair and a crimson red trench coat go running past.
"Duck!" Zelda yelled, grabbing and pulling me out of the way of a nasty little projectile.
"What was that?" I demanded.
"Kagome didn't explain guns to you?" Minmei asked, genuinely surprised. "Don't you watch any other Anime's in the Break Room?"
Inuyasha gave a loud sigh. "No, he doesn't. He spends ALL his free time chasing women." He rolled his eyes. "Miroku, a gun is a machine that throws little bots of metal at high speeds. It's very deadly and you should stay out of the way." Inuyasha stepped in front of me and attempted to draw his Tetsusuiga. "Damn it all." He cursed.
Meanwhile a tall bushy headed brunette went running past and we all gave chase, Inuyasha in the lead. Pretty soon we found the first guy, Vash, up against a stone cliff and standing as though in no trouble at all.
"Ha! I just want the sixty billion woulong, I mean double dollar reward!" The second guy yelled. He leveled his weapon-gun at Vash and fired. "Whaaa! Oh well, I'll just use my fists!"
"Spike ran out of bullets." Minmei whispered. "Stupid law 15."
Vash smiled. "I got one left, could be my special." He fired, as I learned later, to miss any vital organs, but so Spike wouldn't give chase.
"But he missed! He missed!" Bob yelled jumping up and down. "He can't miss! He's the good guy!"
"D'ya catch him?" Another man came running onto the scene. He appeared to be part man and part metal, but neither at the same time.
None of them even noticed us, the spectators. "Does it look like it, Jet?" Spike sneered. "Toss me your gun!"
But while the gun was moving through the air, Vash fired another gun, one that came out of his left hand. The bullet as it hit Jet's gun also, coincidently, raked Spike's hand. And what should have been gallons and gallons of blood came out to be about two ounces.
With this, the three paused to consider the repercussions of a broken law and then noticed us. All three began speaking at the same time.
"Whoa! He shot me. This isn't my fault!"
"It's not my fault! How can I control his blood level?"
"I'm sure that as a former police officer we can work this out."
Inuyasha sized each one up while Bob stood in horror. Zelda watched with unabashed fascination and Minmei attempted to gain her composer for this encounter. None of us agreed to this kind of thing.
And then all hell broke loose. Inuyasha wanted to throw them all in jail and Bob insisted that his heroes should not be subject to such an insult. Spike started yelling at Vash and Zelda tried to stop the two. Minmei attempted to get Ralton on her radio, but had no luck. And then the guns came back out.
With a large bang everything turned black with dust. As the dust settled back down, Vash, Spike and Jet had disappeared and in their stead stood Eriol smiling and wielding the Clow Staff. Boy he scared the shit out of me!
Broken Laws
#15 Law of Inexhaustibility- No one ever runs out of ammunition. That is of course unless they are cornered, out-numbered, out-classed, and unconscious.
#16 Law of Inverse Accuracy- The accuracy of a 'Good Guy' when operating any fire-arm increases as the difficulty of the shot increases. The accuracy of the 'Bad Guys' when operating fire-arms decreases when the difficulty of the shot decreases. (Also known as the Storm trooper Effect) Example: A 'Good Guy' in a drunken stupor being held upside down from a moving vehicle will always hit, and several battalions of 'Bad Guys' firing on a 'Good Guy' standing alone in the middle of an open field will always miss.
#18 Law of Hemoglobin Capacity- The human body contains over 12 gallons of blood, sometimes more, under high pressure.
