Ahem.
I love Vicious and I love history. Be afraid, for this is my tribute to both. History has a way of repeating itself. I view the universe of Cowboy Bebop as a kind of strange mixture between the Wild West and 1920's Chicago, with spaceships. Both eventually phased out. To every beginning there is an end and to every end a beginning. C'est la vie.
To effectively destroy a whole Syndicate is no laughing matter. It would make headlines and I mean to tell it as such. An occurrence like a one-man assault against a major Syndicate would garner at least a little media attention. The social reverberations will be expounded upon later, and will be marked.
And before you ask, yes, Spike and co. will probably make an appearance eventually. Hell, Lin might make an appearance if I'm so inclined. Usually Spike is dead when I write fan fiction, so this is new for me.
Julia, however, is dead as a doornail. I like her character, but she's dead. Can't really argue with the body falling on the roof and Spike holding her as she died. I figure the man can tell the difference between alive and dead, and he clearly stated to Vicious that Julia was dead. Hence Vicious' lack of any real vengeful motivation against Spike. In fact I don't believe he was ever driven solely by the need for revenge. Vicious is too intelligent for that.
Ride on, Space Cowboy…
Disclaimer: I don't own shit of what you recognize, but who and what I come up with are MINE and I'll castrate you if you steal them.
Extended Summary: Vicious awakens from a comatose state two years after the last fight with Spike. Since then, the world he knew has radically changed. Mao Yenrai's predictions seconds before his death have begun to come true.
Read it to find out what happens to him…and if I'm not squeamish, neither can you be. Refer to my rather strange 'Riding in Cars with the Top Down' fic to see more on my theories concerning Vicious.
I'll update just as soon as I have a chapter ready.
When my friend read this the first thing she says is 'score julia is dead!'
I'm still laughing...
