Chapter 3: Truth
Jane was on the roof for 10 minutes she still can't remember anything from her past or were she came from and how she got into this room. She felt an empty void in her heart she tried to fill it up but nothing ever worked. Then she just remembered the faces in the room but can't remember names or anything she doesn't even remember her own name. She hurd a voice behind her the voice sounded so familiar she can't explain it. She also felt like she shouldn't be with him but something else say she should be with him.
"Well I guess you need help remembering yourself." Legato said in a toneless voice. She turned around and looked at him.
"Who are you? If you know me please tell me who I am." Jane said with a confused looked on her face and tone. Legato simply gave an evil laugh.
"Your Jane part of the Gungs Ho Guns you're a ruthless cut throat villain." Legato replied. She looked at him carefully and saw some different about him. Like she seen him before but more as an enemy then a friends but she didn't mind it she only thing she cared about is that she can figure out who she is.
"So I'm Jane tell me how I got into this place then?" Jane asked with a confused look on her face still.
"You were about to kill Vash when something stopped you from killing him. I guess he brought you back to the room." Legato replied. She felt pain running down her head when she heard Vash's name. A pain that she wants to get rid of but nothing will make it go away. It was like pains that she had before but won't let her go it kept on clinging to her like a raved dog clinging to her leg and every time she moves it bites down harder and harder ever time. Legato looked at her.
"Let me take that pain away from you. Let me help you regain your identity." Legato replied. Jane looked at him and nodded her head. Legato came near her places his hand over her for head used his psychic powers to erase all her memory of Vash, Milly, Meryl, and Nicholas and gave her memory's of her name and being part of the Gung Ho Guns. Jane felt better then before her pain was gone and was ready to kill anyone and anything that gets in her way.
"Knives want to talk to you. I think he has big plans for you." Legato said with an evil tone. Jane nodded her head and the two went off to see Knives. Nicholas woke up from the sun he looked around and saw the bed was empty. He got up and went out of the room to see if she was around anywhere. He checks the room and didn't fine her. Vash came out yawning.
"Morning, Nicholas how's it going?" Vash asked in a very sleep tone. Nicholas looked at him.
"Have you seen Jane? She's not in bed when I woke up." Nicholas said with a very concerned voice. Vash looks at him.
"Nope haven't seen her. I bet she's getting some fresh air. She'll be back." Vash said going into the kitchen to eat. Milly and Meryl were still asleep in there room. Nicholas walked out the room and went into the city.
Knives Hide out
Legato and Jane just arrived they were walking down the same dim hall with the same dark door that was locked. Jane had a weird feeling but she tried to make sure that her emotions won't bother her in her work. They reached Knives chamber she looked at the door then the doors opened and they both walked in. Knives at the window sill looked outside.
"Jane I want you to kill Vash once and for all at Rose." Knives said breaking the silence.
"Yes sir. I will not fail you." Jane replied.
"We will have other members with you just to keep you in track." Legato said. Jane looked at him with a very angry face then she shrugged her shoulders.
"Whatever you can do whatever you what just make sure they don't get in my way." Jane replied with a very bad attitude and walks off leaving Legato and Knives by themselves to talk amongst.
"Legato I want you to keep an eye on her." Knives said while looking out the window thinking how the worthless bugs are walking around still living when they should be dead. Legato looks at him.
"I understand I will do what I'm asked of." Legato replied and bowed and left his chamber.
In Town
Vash, Milly, Meryl, and Nicholas were in town walking around looking for Jane. They haven't seen her for 4 hours already so the got really worried. Nicholas and Vash went to a different part of town while Milly and Meryl were in the other.
"Do you think she's around here?" Vash asked looking around at the ally. Nicholas shrugged his shoulders.
"Don't know but we have to look ever nook and cranny." Nicholas said Vash nodded his head and the both kept on walking. A figure in the shadows followed them from a very safe distance. In the other part Milly and Meryl were looking around for Jane.
In The Real World
"Yo sis u better get some sleep." Voice said very annoyed. Jessica just worked on her machine trying to get it to work again.
"I will don't worry just rechecking my equation." Jessica said to her sister while looking at the equation.
"You're still at it. Why don't just put it on and bring her back." Voice said still annoyed.
"Well if I did do that there will be complications plus I didn't get the knick out so if anything happens to her in the other world and I bring her back it still affects her here. So if she gets killed she's and I bring her back she's gone forever. What ever happens to her it affects her even in this world." Jessica said.
"Wow that's pretty deep then. Well if you can fix that then no problem right?" Voice said not as much as annoyed.
"Yes basically but that's going to be the hard part is finding it and fixing it." Jessica said.
"Well I'm going to bed you better too." Voice said yawning and went away. Jessica was busy with her work.
In GunSmoke
The shadow followed Vash and Nicholas quite a while now. Vash looked around and saw a bar that they could go in. Nicholas was looking around a bit when he thought he saw Jane in the crowd but wearing a black shirt black pant with white strips going down them her hair color red as blood. He looked again and she was gone.
"Hey Nicholas we can get something to drink there." Vash said as he pointed to the bar. Nicholas nodded his head and walked in. It was a pretty noisy bar everyone having a good time they sat down ordered there drinks and waited. In the other side of town Milly and Meryl were taking a brake when a figure appeared before them they knew the figure but the figure didn't remember them.
"Hmmm I guess you will do as bait." Voice said as she raised an eye brow. The two girls looked at her in shocked.
"What do you mean? Jane don't you remember us? We're fiend please try to remember." Milly said while looking at her. Jane looked at her and gave an evil laugh.
"Friends friends I don't remember any of you if I did then I'll be a weakling which I'm not. All I know is I have orders to kill Vash The Stampede. You're the type of bait I need." Jane said with a smirk before they could do anything Jane used her sword knocked them out picked up there bodies and took them to an abandon hotel tied them up and waited for the right time to come out and get Vash. The other side of town Vash and Nicholas were drinking there third glass. Vash was getting his fourth glass while Nicholas sat and thought he couldn't help but wonder if what he saw was really who he saw but he shook his head. Said to himself "No no it can't be her no way she wouldn't have changed like that all of a sudden could she?" Then the shadow figure popped out in front of them Vash and Nicholas looked at him.
"I have a message for you guys. It from Jane." A little boy said to them they looked at each other and then to the boy.
"So what's the message?" Nicholas said Vash's face color didn't look to good.
"The message is that she wants to meet you at an old abandon hotel at the edge of town. She also said if you didn't go then two of your friends will die." The boy replied and left as soon as he could.
"Man what is she up to? This isn't like her." Nicholas said Vash was about to puke. Nicholas looks at him.
"Man you have a weak stomach." Nicholas said and laughed. Vash looks at him.
"Yeah yeah yeah I know that much. That message that boy told us. Like you said it not like her. Well don't forget she is still under there control. So that's why but we better go before she does kill who ever she has with her." Vash said trying to get up still drunk Nicholas helped him. He paid for the drinks and left and walked over to the edge of town. Jane was waiting outside her back agents the wall her arms across her chest and looking for signs of Vash. The two men made it to the abandon hotel the saw Jane outside waiting. When Nicholas saw her she was actually wearing the same clothing as he thought he saw her.
"I see you made it. Looks like you're in not condition of fighting Vash." Jane said not looking at them.
"I still can fight. Now where are the hostages?" Vash asked Jane looked at him.
"Do you really want to know?" Jane replied Vash wasn't in the mood for this.
"Yes now where are they!!" Vash yelled.
"Hold your pants. There here in the hotel you maybe be too late or you just in time to see them die right in front of you." Jane said with an evil tone. Vash's hand turned into a fist.
"Don't say that stuff I don't what to hurt you!!" Vash yelled she came towards them unsheathed her sword. Nicholas with out his weapon Vash only brought his upside down pistol.
"You know what I think I'll just kill your fiends first and then your other friend and then you how would you like that." Jane said with an evil smile. Vash and Nicholas looked at her she looked back smirked. She started attacking them. Only thing they could do is dodge her. She managed to slash at Nicholas which blood squirted everywhere.
"Ggggggaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!" Nicholas yelled in pain his body fell to the ground with a thud. She just smiled an evil smile and looked towards Vash. She picked up sword and thrust it into Nicholas's shoulder the sword went through to the other side blood gushing out.
"Gggggggaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!" Nicholas yelled in pain the pain was worse then anything he been through. Vash ran towards her and was about to punch her. She grabbed his fist and looked him in the eye.
"I'll tell you one and only once. I'm not going to take you or your friend I just bet life's so be happy. But I'm going to take the two girls so if you want to save them you'll meet me at Rose and be prepared I'm not going go easy on you. If you don't fight you will die by my hands and you will not meet Knives. So if you want to get to him you will have kill me." Jane said as she pulled her sword out of Nicholas's shoulder and slashed at the air cleaning her sword and sheathed it and walked into the abandon hotel.
"G-o Va-sh I-'ll be fi-ne." Nicholas said in pain Vash looked at him.
"I just can't leave you like this." Vash said with concern tone.
"We-ll if y-ou do-n't sh-e'll ge-t aw-ay." Nicholas said still in pain Vash looked back at him.
"Fine but you better not go anywhere then." Vash said Nicholas nodded his head. Vash got up and ran after Jane. She was already at the door she opened it and went in and closed the door behind her. Vash was still half way. "Dang it I hope I can catch up to her." Vash said to himself as he tried to get to the door. He opened the door and when in and he managed to see her go up the stares and going to the next floor. Vash tried to get there before he lost her again. But when he got on the second floor he looked around but didn't see her.
"Dang it I lost her." Vash said puts his hand as a fist and hits the wall. He walked outside and went to Nicholas and helped him up from the ground and took him into the abandon hotel were Nicholas cleaned his wound out and Vash brought the first aid kit and helped him to bandaged the wound.
"I take it you lost her?" Nicholas said pain still shooting down his body.
"I would have caught up to her but I didn't." Vash said was about to hit the table.
"Vash calm down. Don't get worked over it. We will find a way to get the girls back and Jane." Nicholas said Vash looked at him and then he looked out the window. Jane was walking caring the two girls to a different location until she could get a vehicle to take them to Rose. She found the place and went in and put them on the floor and waited by the door. Her back leaning agents the wall her hand across in front of her chest on of her foot placed on the wall as she waited.
"Ryouchin better not be late getting here I want to leave as soon as possible." Jane said in a very annoyed tone as she watched for any signs of Ryouchin. Outside you can hear a car raving then it stopped the door slammed and a figure walked out and opened the door he had blue hair wearing a white shirt and dark dark blue pants.
"I see you have to make a grand entrance now don't you?" Jane asked not looking at him still annoyed.
"What can you say I love the attention that I get." Ryouchin said walking into the room.
"Well don't get too caught up in the moment now both of us have jobs that we need to finish and I want to get mine done as soon as possible." Jane said annoyed still.
"Right, so that's the bait then?" Ryouchin said looking over at the two girls still out cold. Jane gave a smirk and looked up at him.
"Yeah they are. I was thinking of killing them off." Jane said Ryouchin looked over at her.
"Why don't you do that right now?" Ryouchin asked she looked at him and she was mad as ever.
"Well if I did then there would be no reason for Vash to come." Jane said annoyed as ever.
"Right right so what's your plan with them?" Ryouchin asked.
"Well I was going to wrap a rope around there body and hanged them from a tall building." Jane replied as an evil smile appeared.
"That's brilliant they can be seen but not in the way. I like the way you think." Ryouchin said Jane didn't say anything but gave a bigger evil smile.
"We better get going." Jane said pushing her body off from the wall and went to the two girls picked them up.
"Right, next off Rose." Ryouchin said as he went to the car Jane followed and closed the door. Both got into the car and started driving off. Jane looked out at the scenery she was watching time seem to slow down almost stop for her she heard a voice inside her head. The voice she heard was her own.
"Don't do this try to remember who you are. Don't losses me I'm your true self." Jane's inner voice said.
"No no no leave me alone I like who I am I feel way better. No pain free of whatever Vash did to you which I really don't care. I'm not going to let you take over Legato was the one the made all the pain go away and I thank him for it. But I don't want you to take over." Jane said to her inner self.
"You can't you have to remember me if you don't your going to do something your going to regret." Jane's inner voice said. Jane shook her head.
"I won't I'll keep you way as long as I can. If you do get in the way I'll just have to kill both to get free." Jane said to her inner self.
"You're going to thank me once I'm back. I'm going to get you to remember me. I don't want you to hurt anyone. You already did enough damage if you do something I'll come out and stay and have you be gone forever." Jane's inner voice said.
"Don't make me laugh all I have to do is ask Legato to get rid of you and you will never come back." Jane said to her inner self.
"I'm the only memories that can't be erased I'll show you who you really are." Jane's inner voice said. Then an image of Jessica can be seen. She was working of her invention while she was helping out with the equation.
"Jane did you finish the equation I want to try and put it in the machine and see if it works." Jessica asked still working on the machine. Jane shook her head.
"No no no no I don't want to see this I don't care about this I don't care who I was I rather be who I am right now a ruthless killer not some weakling person." Jane said to her inner self. Holding her head with her hands but the images kept on coming.
"Wow Jane that's cool I can't believe you're taking swordsmanship." Yoriko said to her.
"Yeah I know it's going to be so much fun to do." Jane replied Jane shaking her head.
"Stop it already I don't want to see anymore I don't want to see how I was all I care is who I am right now." Jane said to her inner self then she was able suppress her inner voice. Then time started to become its normal speed.
"Jane are you okay you look pail." Ryouchin said still looking at the road. Jane looked at him and nodded her head.
"Yeah I'm fine just remembered something I didn't want to that all." Jane said placing a hand to her head.
"Okay well if you need something to drink there is a bottle of water in the back." Ryouchin said Chie nodded her head and looked at the road.
In Town
"Dang it why did she take Meryl and Milly they didn't do anything to be taken." Vash said while he punched the wall.
"Calm down Vash. If we don't take it slowly then they will be killed." Nicholas said Vash just looked at him.
"Well if I didn't loss her then this wouldn't of happen. Her eye's still have that confusion like she wasn't sure this was really her." Vash said Nicholas nodded his head.
"I know she still have memories but she's not willing to let them out." Nicholas said.
"What are we going to do if we don't do anything she will be lost forever. But if we do make it in time how are we suppose to do once we get her. There is no way she will be forced to remember." Vash said.
"I don't know but that's what she has to figure out is how to let her memories come back to her and be the person she was." Nicholas said.
