Well I hope you enjoy this story. Well on with the story yeah. Plus three new characters which I'm not going to mention there names you'll have to read it to find out the names.
Chapter 4: Lost Memories
Jane was looking out the window of the car they made a little stop to full up the tank. Jane thought about what the face expression of Vash would be when she kills the two girls she gave an evil smile. Then time stood still again and the voice came back it wasn't over it wouldn't give up that easy it would go down in a fight then give up.
"Don't you dare touch Milly and Meryl!!" Jane's inner voice said.
"Didn't I tell you to go away?" Jane said to her inner voice with an angry tone.
"I'm going to make you remember me if it's the last thing I do. There is always an obstacle in the way but I always take the challenge and I'm going to make you who you where will all I got. So send your worst at me but I won't go down." Jane's inner voice said while Jane shook her head.
"No I'm not going to let you take over I'm telling you I like the way I am I feel free. Whenever you where around I felt trapped like an animal because of you so it's my turn to put you in a cage and lock you up. Whenever you are scared I laugh when you have love or anything happy I'm disgusted so I want you to know how I feel. Beside if I don't let you out you would disappear forever so when that day does come I can be truly be free." Jane said to her inner voice.
"Well if that does happen then you will never be truly free. But it would take a long time before I'm gone. Besides all you know is the stuff Legato put in you head you know as well as I know that I'm the true memories and feeling not his. I have to show you what Vash, Nicholas, Milly, and Meryl did for you then you would understand that you where free not trapped and Legato is the one that trapped you not me." Jane's inner voice said.
"No I don't want to see that they did for you or me. I don't care at all. All I care is the present not the past. They're weak and pathetic and I don't have any feelings for them. They deserve to die like the bugs they are. They're just bugs that never go away they keep coming back with more with them each time. I'm going to stop them once and for all." Jane said to her inner voice. Then Jane's inner self showed memories from her past. What she was seeing what the day Legato brought out Leo and they had fought him she was injured badly Vash was kind enough to help her out with her wound. She knew how worried they were when she was injured but she didn't want it to stop them. It was like a small scratch then a huge one. She had worse wounds then that. With all the training she did she disciplined herself and lived from that. The teacher was kind enough to train her one on one, which was very intense, but she managed to pass it with some few accidents, which could have ended her life.
"I think you should go to a doctor to check it out." Vash said in a concerned tone in his voice.
"I'll be fine." Jane replied.
"Are you sure?" Vash asked.
"Yes and thank you Vash" Jane replied
"No Problem." Vash said. Vash smiled at her. She smiled back not showing the pain she had.
"You know we should get going before this town is a destroyed by Legato." Jane said. Jane shook her head. She feels pain running down her body. Like she was being stabbed with a knife all over her body it didn't stop there more memories came. It was day when she woke up from the hospital cards by her bed flowers seen them come in and when she told them about her self. More pain ran down her body. She couldn't take it anymore.
"Stop it stop it stop it. I want you to go away and never come back!!" Jane yelled to her inner voice she was very very mad. She shook her head trying erase the memories from her head. She was able to suppress her inner self again for good this time. Time regained its normal speed again sweat running down her face and she was pail. She whipped off the sweat and grabbed a pocketknife from the dashboard and starts playing with it helped her to calm herself down. Ryouchin came back got into the car and started it up.
"Sorry for the wait let's get going." Ryouchin said as he looked at her, Jane nodded her head and they were off again.
In Town
Vash and Nicholas were getting ready to go to Rose when the same boy came back again. The boy looks terrified then the last time they saw him. He had sweat running down his face and his checks were bright pink.
"You guys better hurry they are planning to kill them." Boys said then Vash and Nicholas looked at each other and then back at the boy.
"What!!" Vash said with a surprised look on his face.
"I heard them talking and Jane was going to kill them." Boy said Vash hit the wall with is fist.
"Dang it!!" Vash yelled then he turned to the boy.
"Alright did they already leave?" Vash asked the boy nodded his head.
"Dang it." Vash said hitting the wall with his fist again Nicholas put his hand on his shoulder.
"If you hurry I think you can catch up to them." Boy said Vash and Nicholas looked at him.
"Are you sure?" Nicholas asked.
"Yeah but you want to reach them you have to leave now." Boy replied Nicholas and Vash nodded and grab there bags and left. The boy stood where he was and watched them go into the horizon. They went to the west and walked, Rose was about a 100 ils away so they had a long way to go. They were in a very fast pace.
"Hey Jane could you drive the car I'm getting sleepy." Ryouchin said Jane looked at him.
"Fine I'll drive." Jane said annoyed so Ryouchin parked the car and they switched seats and kept going. Ryouchin fell asleep Jane was watching the road she felt something she didn't know what it was. She tried to get rid of the feeling like she did with her inner voice but it didn't go away. It was a feeling she doesn't know how to explain it but it's a feeling that she didn't like. It was more like her inner voice's feeling then her own.
"What are you trying to do? Why can't you leave me alone I don't want to be you anymore I rather be who I am now then was." Jane said to her inner voice knowing it won't answer because she keeping in it away. The feeling stayed through out the drive. Vash and Nicholas were still far away in catching up but they were determined to catch up with them. They only got 97 ils to go before they reach them.
In The Real World
"Wow this place is a mess!!" Little sister said with a surprise look Jessica was in her lab it was a total mess paper everywhere computer parts here and there tools everywhere. Sheet of paper with some kind of equation on it and it was a very confusing equation at that with a lot of numbers sins, cons, tan, pie, and other stuff she couldn't make out. She only had one place that was clean and that's were she was sitting at. If you tired to walk in you would probably step on something or you might just break one piece or step on a tool.
"Yeah I know but this is the only way I can check the machine." Jessica said her little sister shock her head.
"Well you could have kept this place clean. I mean it's going to be hard finding things now." Little sister said.
"No I put everything were they have to go so I can find them again." Jessica said now looking at anther computer part and a sheet of paper making sure everything was okay.
"Well did you fix the equation?" Little sister asked Jessica shocked her head.
"Nope but I have to make sure everything fine too because after she was transported everything went wrong and I have to make sure the parts are still in working condition if not then I can't bring her back or fix the equation." Jessica said now onto the next piece.
"Well you better get it done I don't know how long she would last there. Beside it's been two months since the accident and yet she managed to live but in the process she gets a bounty on her head. She's not going to live long now every bounty hunter going to try and kill her." Little sister said Jessica was looking at the part carefully before she spoke.
"I know that and I feel awful what happened but I can't changed the past but I help change the present. Besides I got her into it and I'm going to get her out." Jessica said looking away from the part to her little sister. She was wearing a blue t-shirt with the word Angle on it in gold and same color pants with a lot of pockets. She looked back at her annoyed again.
"Yeah well you should have done something before she did this!! Little sister yelled stilled annoyed.
"I told you by the time I tried to stop her she was already sent to GunSmoke." Jessica said in a calm voice.
"So what if she does die then it's your fault!!" Little sister yelled at her. Her face red with anger and she was ready to give a fight to see who was right or not.
"I know that. You don't have to yell. I'm doing my best to get this machine fixed but your not helping." Jessica replied still in a calm voice there was no reason to get angry at all.
"Well I don't care because its no my friend so I ain't going to help at all." Little sister said in a lower voice but still angry. Jessica nodded her head.
"Okay you don't have to but remember when you need the help the most I'll remember that you didn't help me in my need. So when that day comes you're not going to get mine so remember that okay." Jessica said looking back at the computer part she was looking at earlier.
"Fine but I won't be needing you anyways so don't count on that day." Little sister said and stormed off way form the lab. Jessica didn't notice she left she went to her next piece and looked at it.
"Don't worry Jane I'll make sure your home in no time. Just hang in there don't let anything happen to you. I can't forgive myself if anything happens to you. I mean we've been friends since we were in Kindergarten. I'm not going to let you down you've been there when I need you the most and right now you need me the most. Right now I could use your advice, and it's been lonely without you, not seeing you friendly face or your bright smile. I don't get any complements for my work anymore everyone seem to ignore me now. Whenever you were around I had someone to count on but now it's been two months after that accident. I knew I should have been the one to test it out not you. I would have gladly taken your place instead of you but you instead that you went. I don't know why you did. I'm still an armature you were better at this stuff then I was. Even though I try to show off but still I should have listen to you on that day I'm sorry I didn't. I still don't know why you put up with a show off but you were there and I felt better." Jessica put down the computer part and sheet or papers a put her hand towards her face and cried.
Her sister looked from the door and saw her sister crying she didn't know what to do she wanted to go to her side and tell her that it was going to be okay but after what she said she felt really bad. She didn't know that it hurt her more then it did to her. She didn't understand them they would do a lot of stuff together but none of it made sense to her. But she realized now how they became more then friend they were best of friends. She remembers they day her sister brought her over and would be like a jerk to her and yet she didn't get mad or anything she would simply smile and put her hand on her shoulder and say "Well well who do we have here? You don't have to be shy we can be friends if you want." Jane said with a kind and gentle voice. But now she understood she sat down near the door her back agents the wall her legs against her chest and she berried her face into her leg.
"I'm sorry I'm so sorry. I was wrong to say those things to you I was just jealous that you had a friend that understood you and like you for the way you are unlike me." Sister said in a whisper. The two had time to think over what the other said and understood what to do know but they still needed their space it would have to wait till next time.
In GunSmoke
Jane was looking at the road and was thinking how she should kill Vash and the other people. But when she thought of it a strange feeling came over her she couldn't tell what it was it was different the first one.
"I know what you're thinking but it's not going to stop me. I told you already I'm going to stay and you're going to leave forever. I just need to keep you away and you will slowly disappear then I'll be truly free from you." Jane said to her inner voice. Vash and Nicholas were 90 ils away from them. Nicholas's arm was in a sling and he tried not to move it as much. Pain still ran up and down Nicholas's arm but he tried not to show it. While they were walking a car happened to come by. The car slowly made a stop where they were.
"Mister could you give us a ride?" Vash asked the driver he looked at them and then thought for a while.
"Okay get in." Driver said the two got into the car and told the driver that they wanted to go and coincidence the guy was going to the same place. They were glad that some one was going the same place as them. They made more tracks by the car. They would need about 70 ils to reach them. Jane looked around to see if the town was near. It was about 30 ils away and she could see the bright lights and other stuff. When she looked at the mirror, she could see dust fling and a car and it was speeding their way.
"Who the heck is that? I couldn't be could it? If its then I need to lose them before I reach into town." Jane said to herself. She put the pedal to the medal but the other car did the same thing it came closer closer to them while they were getting further further away from them. Then she thought for a moment and then she had an idea. She would let them follow her it would be easier to kill off all of them at once and Ryouchin could set a bomb in the car and the then blow it up she gave an evil smile with one hand she shock Ryouchin up. He opened his eyes slowly the light blinded him a bit but then his eyes got use to the light he turned his head towards Jane.
"What do you want now?" Ryouchin said in a sleepy tone trying to hold back a yawn.
"Listen to me and listen well I have a job for you plus we have company." Jane said and Ryouchin listen.
"I want you to set up a bomb and have a trigger when I give you a signal then I want you to blow it up." Jane said.
"All right so what would the signal be?" Ryouchin asked.
"When I raise my sword with my left hand then that's the time you blow up the car." Jane replied still with an evil smile.
"Sound good they won't know what hit them." Ryouchin said.
"That's the idea. Besides they still be out, it would take a miracle to get the up after my attack." Jane replied Ryouchin went to work on the bomb he was very quick and precise not even the bumpy terrain would stop him. He was about done he needs to make the remote and put the finishing touches on it. The other car was closer then before. What they all didn't know but Legato had sent one of the members of Gung Ho Guns to keep an eye on the situation he wasn't going to let anything stop him in killing if anything went wrong. He was about 6' 6" wore a black suit he was tan and had blue hair and a dark blue shirt. No one knows how he gets around but some how he's always there when you lest expected it. That's why they call him Stealth Killer Nelson. Jane hasn't met this guy but she heard from Legato while they where going to Knives hid out. She still doesn't know what kind of person he was but she didn't like him.
"Mister is it okay if you could drop us off in front of the city?" Vash asked they could see the city too the driver nodded his head and keeping is foot on the pedal to be able to reach them. Ryouchin was done and set up the bomb in the car were no one would expect it to be there. The car made it into the city and she saw Vash and Nicholas coming out of the car and running after the care
"Heh well I guess we would have to find a good place to have this last battle once and for all." Jane said with an evil smile and laugh as she slowed the car down at the speed where Vash and Nicholas could catch up but far away from them. Her inner self tried everything it could to come out from the cage that surrounded it but her power was slowly dieing and she noticed that she was disappearing slowly she thought about it and it looks like she only had a 2 months until she completely gone. Then she looked out and she was able to see what's going on outside.
"Vash, Nicholas please sent me free don't care how you do it as long as I'm free. I don't want to lose myself. Beside I remember that day when I was in the hospital you and Nicholas said that you would do everything you can to get me home and keep safe well this is the real test I can't do anything anymore, I'm losing stuff I don't want to. Please do all you can if it means killing me then do so. I don't know what's going to happen to me or my body but it would keep you safe. Please hurry" Jane's inner voice said in a weak and pleading tone. The car made its way down an ally way down a dirt road and into an open plain.
"This is perfect place to kill him." Jane said with a smirk. Vash and Nicholas behind them Jane stopped the car Jane came out of the car Ryouchin came out but wasn't seen by Vash or Nicholas and he hid in the shadow away from the car and Jane and was ready to blow up the car from his position. Vash and Nicholas stopped in the tracks and looked at Jane.
"This is it; this is where you die Vash The Stampede." Jane smirked as he unsheathed her sword with her right hand and was ready to attack. Nicholas notice the girls were in the car.
"Yo needle noggin the girls are okay I'll try to get them out keep Jane busy." Nicholas said in a whisper. Vash looked at him and thought to himself "Why me?" then he nodded he head and looked towards Jane and was ready if anything came his way. Nicholas was making his way to the car but when he got there a surprised waited for him. Jane came running towards him with her sword in hand. Nicholas was having a hard time trying not to get killed by Ryouchin. Jane slashed her sword at him Vash dodged it. Only thing he could do was dodging her. Vash was having a hard time too. He didn't know what to do. He had to go this way and that way to keep from getting slashed at by Jane. Jane wasn't done with him she keep attacking him and Vash could only dodge. Jane's inner self watched hopelessly from the cage she tried everything she could to get of it but nothing worked. Nicholas on the other hand was having a terrible time Ryouchin managed to hurt Nicholas but he was determined to beat up Ryouchin if it was the last thing on earth. Nicholas managed to hit Ryouchin but Ryouchin throw back more punches at him.
"Jane stop this now I don't want to hurt you." Vash said looking at her she stopped and looked at him and gave an evil laugh.
"Stop ha ha ha I'm doing what I was told to do. You can't even hurt me if you wanted to your too weak anyways." Jane replied with an evil and twisted smile. Vash didn't like the smile one bit. It sent shivers down his spin and into his soul. Vash had to do something or Jane would still be under his evil brother's control. Jane ran towards him and attacked him again she managed to slash at him blood everywhere.
"Gggggggaaaaahhhhh!!" Vash said then he put his hand towards his wound and looked at her. He thought to himself "Well I guess I'll have to attack I don't want to thought but if that's the only way I have to do it then that's how it's going to be." He grabbed his gun and started shooting which Jane was able to send it back to Vash with her sword blade. Nicholas and Ryouchin sill fighting. Nicholas was able to hit Ryouchin away from the car and he got into the car and helped the girls out. Jane looked at the car from the corner of her eye she switched her sword from her right hand to her left. Ryouchin saw the signal and pressed the button Nicholas managed to get Meryl out but he was caught in the blast. Vash looked over the car with a horrible look on his face. He saw the girls were okay but he didn't see Nicholas.
Ryouchin laughed and he made his way to the girls when Nelson came in front of him he punched him into the wall, which the whole building collapsed on him and he didn't come out of the rubble. Jane's inner self look from the cage and saw what happened and feel on her knees "Nnnnnnnnnooooooooo Nicholas………." She sat there tears running down her face Jane felt her pain and the same smile came back Vash looked over to her and attacked her. Jane attacked and blocked some of his attacks. But in the process she was injured but it didn't affect her she managed to slash at Vash but he dodged it. Nelson just watched the fight to see if there was any change. If there was he would have to step in and take over. Jane didn't know but every time she fought Vash the cage around her inner self slowly weakened and her inner self slowly but surly was able to come out of the cage and she tried her best to be able to take control of her own body.
"Vash just die now. Your friend already has been killed now the girls are going to be next." Jane said with the evilest tone and smile Vash was mad but he knows that she was right if he doesn't do anything people he know and hold dear to his heart would be killed. Then Jane feels to her knees holding her head in pain.
"Nooooo go away!!" Jane yelled Vash looked at her then Nelson looked at her too he didn't bother with it. The pain worsened Jane still holding her head she didn't know what to do she couldn't suppress the inner self anymore. Vash was going to put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't come any closer. I don't want anything to happen to you." Jane replied with pain in her tone he knew that she was fighting agenst her other self.
