Author's note: Yes, my loving and adorable fans, I have decided to stray away from the Dark Cloud 2 series to go on to one of my all-time favorite animes...Trigun! Well, I hope everyone likes it! Thanks!

Back again...

Ch. 1-Beginning of the War

Setting- A dark castle, floating in the sky, surrounded by thunderous clouds. Cannons fire at the defenseless castle. Every few minutes you can hear the shout of generals giving orders to their troops.

"You do know," Said a mysterious man in black, "That we don't stand a chance with that army outside." A man standing beside him, propped against the wall, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and put it to his lips. "If we can wait a little longer..."

"Wait for what? To die? Is that what you want, Kyo?" Yelled the man in black. The man smoking threw down his cigarette, stepping on it to put it out. He slowly reached into his back pocket, pulling out a pistol. All of a sudden, he disappeared, then re-appeared behind the man in black. He placed the pistol on the side of the man's head. "You..." Started Kyo, "won't have to wait to die!" The man in black started to shake. "This means that...this was all a lie. You were never really part of R.E.D. were you?" Kyo chuckled, then responded, saying, "Bingo. R.E.D. is just a sick organization led by money-grubbing dumbasses like you." Kyo paused, then continued saying, "You're lucky I don't kill for fun, or you would already have a hole between you're eyes. For now, I have to bid you farewell." Kyo started running toward a nearby window. He bursted through it, and vanished into the darkness.

3 Weeks Later...

Vash walked down an empty alley-way. It had been years since he had seen Wolfwood, the traveling priest. "Ah, i'm so hungry, i havent eaten in almost a week." Vash stopped walking, sighed, and stared at the ground. "I guess i'm just pure out of luck...Hey...What's that over there?"
