CHAPTER 4: HOUSE ARREST
Angel looked hard at the men," What do you mean by?" she asked, knowing fear was written all over her face.
"They're dangerous men, I'd just hate to see what they'd do," he told her, playing off of her fear," you have exactly 24 hours to turn them in."
"Who do you think you are? You can't just come in my house and tell me what to do!" she cocked her guns. He grabbed her by the throat and threw her against a table, she shot him in the chest. A spray of bullets came at her. She flipped backwards over the table and used it as a sheild. It was a good thing it was made of reinforced steel. She loaded her guns and waited for an opportunity to stand and fire.
TRIGUN
Vash woke sharply to the crack of a .357 Mag. He sat up and grabbed his trenchcoat. He met Wolfwood in the hall, and after tripping over each other's arms and legs, they began sprinting toward the sound of the gunfire.
TRIGUN
Autumn joined Angel and began shooting back at the men," It's not working," Angel tolder her," We have to try, for the kids," Autumn replied.
"Right," Angel said holstering her gun," Here goes nothing," she rolled to the side and charged one of the men Int the confusion Autumn was able to get up and take one down as well. The girls bagan kicking gunsacross the room, away from their assailants. Autumn threw one of her attackers against the man in front of Angel, who winked at her. Angel turned to face her next walking corps and ducked as a fist came at her. She punched him in the stomach and hit his nose with her forehead. He kicked her feet out from under her; backflipping, she kicked him in the chin. She blocked to her right and kneed the next one in the back.
Autumn was also busy kicking ass, picking up a broom she literally "swept them off their feet", when the men finally got up, she was ready for them. She tripped the first two and kicked the other three against the wall. Vash and Wolfwood stood in awe, it seemed as if the women didn't even need their help. Angel kicked at one of them and missed, spinning on her heel she punched another. Autumn noticed that one man had a gun aimed at Angel. She tackled him and took it. Angel moved sharply right and felt pressure on her knee. One man pushed her forward," Damn you!" she yelled at them, she heard a snap, her knee was broken. The assailants jumped her and began throwing punches.
"Leave her alone!" Vash kicked the two away and knelt beside Angel," Come on, the sherrigg's here. I'll take you to your room," Angel's reply was putting both of her arms around his neck and holding on tightly. Wolfwood was already busy fighting off the last few men remaining. Vash picked up Angel and lay her on her bed. Autumn took the children, who were wondering what the hell was going on, into the back. Ther sherriff came inside, his guards dragged away the fallen men," You're under house arrest until further notice!" he slammed the door and began nailing it shut, all openings were to be sealed.
"Dammit," Wolfwood light up a cigarrete.
TRIGUN
Angel sat up and pulled her cart toward her. She filled a syringe with morphine and injected it into her knee. She only winced slightly," You okay?" Vash put a hand on her shoulder," Yeah, this isn't the first time this has happened. I've been shot here three times. This leg's just weak that's all," she looked to the children," is everyone here?"
"We're allright," Benji told her.
"We're under house arrest," everyone turned to see Wolfwood standing in the doorway. He blew smoke over his shoulder and took another drag on the cigarette," They've gone to get more nails."
"Damn," Angel said," we've gotta get outta here, and fast."
"Your knee is broken, that makes you out of commission for awhile," Vash told her.
"No it doesn't," Angel looked at Autumn," All we'd have to do was reconstruct it."
"That's right, I'll get the tools," Autumn came back in the room with a toolbox. Both gunslingers looked at the girls as if they'd grown antennas," What's with the tool box?" Wolfwood asked.
"Well, I had to put screws in my knee the first time I got shot. The second I had to build a new knee cap; then the third, I had to reconstruct most of it," she laughed at the men's shocked faces," Autumn helped me out a lot."
"Well then, why did your knee snap?" Vash inquired.
"Because, the screws were obviously coming out of place. The snap was metal scraping metal," she sterilized the screwdriver. Autumn carefully screwed the tiny nuts and bolts bcak together in Angel's leg.," This time I'll put extra bonding glue on it," she squeezed a glue-like substance on the metal and bone," I'll do the rest," Angel trhreaded a needle," Oh and don't look so surprised boys, Autumn has a metal elbow."
"My left one," Autumn said, grabbing it instinctively. Vash was amazed, he thought he was the only one with metal in him. Now he didn't feel like such a freak," This should heal within a few hours," the sound of nails being pounded into wood was heard. The windows and doors were being boarded up," No, it's now or never," Angel stitched up her knee and sprayed lidacaine on it. She reached into a drawer and took out a pill.
"What's that?" Autumn asked.
"Darvacet," she replied taking the medication," it's a damn good pain killer," she stood," Time to go to work," she walked into her room and shut the door. A few minutes later she came out in a black leather bodysuit and black and silver leather trenchcoat, her boots went up to her thighs and had metal spikes for heels. She swung the trenchcoat on and threw Autumn a bag. Autumn changed clothes in her room, her suit was styled the same, except her boots were flat and her trenchcoat had pink trim. Vash looked at Angel and felt his leather get very tight suddenly. Wolfwood put his cross in front of him, damn they were fine! Angel looked at Autumn," Now all we need is some artillary."
Vash looked at them in shock," You girls are allowed to carry guns?"
"I was named Angel 'Stampede' after you, because I raise so much hell. Does that answer your question?"

SNEAK PEEK. . .CHAPTER 5: ANGEL STAMPEDE
"He's here!" Angel said, anger stiffening her muscles," Get the kids out! NOW!" he was here she knew it, she'd never forget him, those cold eyes, that cynical smile. He had to pay!
"Looking for me?" that demon's voice echoed. Angel turned, Vash gasped, Wolfwood drew his gun. . .
------------------
"So I see you're still seeking to avenge the deaths of your parents. Heh, heh, why hold on to your hatred towards me this long?" he smiled those golden eyes staring her down.
"I want to know why," she glared.
"Why did you rebel?" he asked, shooting at her.
"What are you talking about?" she asked, ducking.
"I killed those worthless beings you call parents because you refuse to accept your fate!" he shouted.
"What fate? I am the master of my fate. . .at least that's what the Chaplains told me! You had me sent there!"
"Yes you're a GHG just like the rest of us!" Wolfwood gasped,'Chaplains? so she's one too?' he thought.
