The three horsemen stood at the rubble, left by the two guns man. "They're strong aren't they?" Asked Kensuke. Touji nodded, "Why wouldn't they be?" Asked Asuka. "They are her first creations after all."
"The priest and the saint of killers." Whispers Asuka.
Looking around Kensuke changes back to his child form. "Someone else was here…" He sniffs around with his nose like a wolf would.
Asuka rolled her eyes, "I hate it when you do that Kensuke. Have some pride will you?"
Touji sighed
"Shiest." I smell blood
The three ran a couple of blocks to the south, elsewhere, to a club called the Velvet Room.
It…
It was back again
"A man who wants to become God?" Says Kensuke, confused.
Scribbled at the wall was graffiti of blood that wrote, ABOMINATION!
Asuka and Touji returned to their childlike forms.
"You three should take better care of them."
Without hesitation, Asuka threw her spear towards the voices' direction.
The man just jumped out of the way flicking his wet blond hair in front of them
"That was fast," exclaimed Touji.
Asuka stood silent.
Kensuke was just about to recall his flaming sword.
When it raised both of his hands.
"Peace friends. It's me."
Touji pointed a finger at him.
"Vash, you idiot, I could have killed you." Shouted Asuka.
"Uh huh, I've come to talk about that." He points at the bloodied wall.
The three lowered their guard.
"Playing the devil's advocate?" asked Kensuke
Vash just smiled.
"I'm on her side as you are on his, you know that."
The three grinned, in return he grinned and they all started to laugh.
"Well, seriously Vash, why do you serve her?" asked Asuka
"Jealous dear?" he asks
"Me jealous, gutten heimel!"
Vash looks into the sky.
"Guys take a walk with me, I have something to show you."
Untrustingly they stood by a few steps behind him. Such is the way of the four.
They stood at the edge of the city, overlooking the mountains. He points at the star.
"What's with the star Vash?" Kensuke asked.
He stood silent for a while, and then said. "Nicholas is trailing them and he told me, they're heading in that direction."
"And what about you?" asks Touji with a hint of sarcasm.
"Me? I'm just a guide. I've come to show you the way."
"I see." Says Asuka.
"Is it him?" asks Touji
They all know whom his talking about.
Vash didn't answer, but just smiled
A white light imploded in front of them. Vash disappeared with a feather left in his wake.
"The Saint of Killers." Asuka whispers.
"He carries the wrath of God." Touji replies.
"Yes." Says Kensuke.
The three sighed, without their fourth; they knew if they had to fight him, they didn't stand a chance and even with Hikari. They wouldn't be able to finish him off. One of the endless, her second child,
"Montons" whispered Touji.
Translation: let's ride
At their sides, bikes materialized according to their specifications.
Touji rode first, and the two followed. They were headed into the star's direction.
Vash stood into the shadows. Like a spirit, not all men can see his true being.
In his feet lay the carcass… of the traitor, the bird, it… one of mankind's creation. "It's not my brother." He thinks
He analyzes the thing. Some kind of genetic mutation, "is this what you want, Rei?" he sighs… and meditates on it… but only for thirty seconds.
Between the two of them, only Nicholas had faith. He believed in his own abilities and that's what made him dangerous.
He looks into the sky and like a typhoon, thunder sounded in his wake, vanishing into the skies. He was headed towards the mountains.
Elsewhere
Magi conference
"The beast failed."
"We know…"
"There shall be another."
"Has the scrolls been rewritten?"
"It is absolute. It does not changed"
"It shall be corrected according to the scriptures."
"As it is written in the book of blood and the holy bible."
"Yes."
"The abominations must die."
"And so it shall."
"United, mankind will become one with God."
"As it is our will."
"So it shall be done."
