Vash woke up from the nap he was taking to past the time. It was already five a cock and Vash's match would begin in a half an hour. Vash sat up and put his black boots and red coat back on. Vash walked out of his room and went to the front of the mansion to meet up with his friends.
"Hey you guys." Vash said as he walked through the large front door to the mansion. Fox, Link, Zelda, and Peach were standing in front waiting for him.
"Hi Vash." Link said as Vash walked over to his friends. "So are you ready for the fight tonight Vash?"
"I guess so I really don't want to fight though, I hope Samus will reconsider and we can call this hole mach off." Vash said.
"I wouldn't count on that Vash." Peach said as she moved closer to him. "She can get really violent when there is a bounty to cash in."
"She should be here by now actually." Fox said as he looked around the front of the building. "I wouldn't expect her to be late for a bounty."
Suddenly all talk stopped as Samus came out of the mansion using the same door Vash had only moments earlier. Samus had on her battle suit as was ready for a fight. She held her orange helmet in her hand letting her blond hair spill out of the back of her suit.
"Well Vash are you ready for are fight." Samus said in a plesent tone. "I sure can't wait to collect that bounty on your head."
Vash looked at her blackly. "What, what is that thing your wearing?" Vash said as he observed her battle suit.
"This is my armor Vash. And this will be the thing that finally gets that bounty of yours." Samus said as she pointed her right arm at him. No hand could be seen there but Vash saw a barrel of a large gun that looked extremely dangerous. "Come on Vash aren't you excited to start you first match here?"
"Um no." Vash said still looking shocked at the advanced armor.
"Too bad because it's Showtime Vash the Stampede." Samus said as she took Vash by the hand and moved him over to a small courtyard on the side of the house. "Just step on that platform and we will be moved to a arena." Samus said as she pointed to a glowing purple disc that seemed to hover in the air.
Vash was rudely pushed onto the platform before he could protest the fight. Vash saw a great shimmer of light and felt weight less as he seemed to float up. Vash's vision blurred as he could only make out a little of this surroundings. A few moments latter Vash felt solid ground under his feet again.
Vash vision stared to clear and he could see he was in what appeared to be the ruins of a ancient temple. There was a lot of debris around which Vash noticed right away. 'That will make some good cover … hopefully' Vash thought as he noticed some grass lands around the temple.
Vash became aware of his surroundings as he noticed a huge crowed of people a small distance away from they were all cheering for the match to begin.
"Smashers let's welcome Vash the Stampede to his first mach here." The announcer said from a unknown place. Vash could also see that Samus was standing about ten feet from him with her orange helmet on her head. She was standing in an attack stance waiting for the match to begin.
"Are you sure I can't talk you out of this." Vash said as he looked at her with hopeful eyes.
"Stop doing that, this is a fighting competition and we will fight!" Samus said as she pointed her right hand gun at Vash.
"Get ready." The announcer said. Vash just stood staring at Samus with his gun still at his side. "Three, two, one. Begin!"
"Draw." Samus said as she aimed her gun at him. "Come on draw. Your not just going to roll over and die, are you?" Vash just stood there looking at her with his goofy smile on his face. "Fine have it your way!" Samus said in an angry tone.
Samus launched a missile out of her arm gun it headed straight for Vash. Vash just stood there looking at it as it got closer and closer. A few seconds before it would have hit him Vash fell backwards and kicked the missile up with his boot. The missile traveled a small distance up and exploded.
The whole crowd was struck silent, and so was Samus. Vash's friends sat in front seats of the crowd watching Vash. They were all awe struck. "Wow." Zelda said as she stared at the tall blond man. "That was incredible." Zelda was the only voice in the whole stadium.
"How did you do that?" Samus asked in a meager tone still shocked from what had happen. Vash still just stood there as if nothing happened. "Fine but you can't kick this!" Samus yelled as she fired a small energy shot at Vash.
Vash looked surprise by the ball of energy traveling towards him. Vash got ready and begin to move to the left moments before the small ball of energy would have stuck him. Vash dogged the ball in one quick move.
"So your serious." Vash said as he looked at Samus. "Fine if that's how it going to be." Vash said as his left hand went into his pocket of his coat. He pulled out his yellow tinted sunglasses. He pushed them onto his face and his mood intensely changed. Vash's right hand dipped to his gun belt and pulled his silver handgun out.
Vash slowly began to stager towards Samus. "Alright lets go." She said as she charged at Vash. Samus took a few quick punches at the tall man in front of her but he dogged every one.
Samus did a flip back and got a small distance away from Vash. "Alright enough." She said as she began to charge her energy weapon. Vash saw what was happening and moved quickly trying to get out of the way. Samus launched her charged weapon and a huge ball of energy escaped from the barrel of her gun. The ball traveled towards Vash who had to leaped out of the way of it.
Vash didn't completely get out of the way of the ball and it struck a part of his side. The energy left a large slash in his side and a serious burn mark around it. Vash landed and rolled under the cover of some rubble.
'Shoot, I need to end this now I'm starting to bleed badly.' Vash thought as he held his side. Vash peeked over his cover to see Samus starting to charge her weapon again. Vash took aim with his handgun and took a single shot. The bullet struck the barrel of Samus arm gun and seemed to jam it.
Samus looked at him in anger. "What did you do." She said as she looked at her damaged weapon.
"That no more use to you, are you ready to give up now?" Vash said as he looked at Samus.
Samus looked furious at him. "I'm not done yet." She said and ran towards Vash. Vash got ready to doge what he thought would be an oncoming wave of fists. But instead Samus rolled into a small ball and went under his legs. She came out of the ball and continued to run away from Vash.
Vash had a confused look on his face until he caught something out of the corner of his eye. It was a small ball that was blinking yellow and red. "Ahhhhh!" Vash screamed as he began to leap in the air.
The small bomb went off causing a small explosion and kicked up a lot of dust and rubble. Samus stared intensely at the vanishing cloud of smoke and debris looking for the outlaw. Her vision began to fade within her helmet.
'Shoot that jerk must had damaged my suit worse then I thought.' Samus thought, as she had to remove her helmet or risk going without sight. Samus finally took off her helmet and looked into the settling cloud of smoke.
'Where is he?' Samus thought as she continued to look into the smoke.
The smoke slowly dispersed to reveille a small piece of Vash's red coat lying in shreds in the small crater caused by the bomb. 'He must be down, there's no way he could have gotten away from that.' She thought as she moved towards the rubble.
"Oh my goddess!" Zelda said as she looked at the smoking rubble of the site where Vash had stood only moments before. "Where is he?" She asked as she looked at the small piece of fabric left from Vash's coat.
"It looks like Vash wont be here much longer." Fox said looking grim. "When Samus finds him I'm sure she will take him for that bounty."
"No, she can't." Peach said looking like she was about to cry. "He has to be ok."
'Vash where are you?' Zelda thought as she looked at the bounty hunter with the damaged suit walking towards the rubble.
Samus walked slowly, not wanting to risk damaging her suit anymore then it already was. She leaned down to her knees and picked up the piece of Vash's coat. The piece itself looked badly burned by the explosion, yet it still held it dark red color.
Finally Samus stood up and looked around. She had to find the injured Vash and claim his bounty. "Come out Vash its over!" She yelled into the arena looking for him.
Samus ears twitched as she heard a small pile of rocks moving. She quickly pivoted on her heels to face the noise. She was greeted by the sit of Vash standing in a pile of rubble.
He seemed to have escaped the blast clean except for the part of his jacket that she had found.
Now he began to charge the shocked Samus. She got into a fighting stance and was ready to warn off his attacks. Vash leaped into the air before he made contact with her. He twirled to he was still facing her in mid air.
When Vash finally landed he gave her no time to counter. Vash brought the side of his gun into the back of Samus neck with a hard blow. Vash made sure he didn't do any serious harm to her but just enough to knock her out.
Samus felt the cold silver gun connect to her neck. Her vision began to blur as she felt herself falling forward. Before she could hit the ground she felt a pair of hands on her that gently placed her on the ground. Right before she lose conciseness she saw the face of Vash The Satmpead still wearing his yellow sunglasses and smiling his friendly goofy smile at her even now.
"The Winner is Vash The Stampede." The announcer declared and the crowed went crazy.
Vash smiled at this and looked out into the crowd of screaming people. He found his friends in the first row and gave them all a quick smile.
Once again Vash was lead to one of the teleportation platforms by one of the officials in the arena. He stepped in and once again felt that odd feeling of floating, but it wasn't nearly as strong as the last time.
Vash slowly regained his composer yet again as he found himself at the front of the mansion. He opened the large wood doors and stepped inside.
'Oh man that was worse than I thought it would be.' Vash thought as he entered the building. Vash grabbed his side and felt the sticky texture of blood mix with his coat. 'I'm glad none of my friends noticed this, they would make a big deal out of it, especially Peach.' Vash gave a weak laugh at this but it hurt his injured side to do so.
"Vash!" He heard coming from down one of the halls. The next moment Peach came bombing up to him and gave him a big hug. It hurt his side terribly but he would not show it on his face.
"Vash I was so worried for you, you didn't get hurt did you." She asked with a worry look on her face.
"Just a few scratches." Vash said as she gave him another worry look.
"Are you sure?" She asked once again. Vash was starting to fell guilty about lying to her but it would keep her from worrying. He then felt her had on where he had his cut. "Vash…"
"Its nothing I've had far worse believe me." Vash said as he finally began to take off his yellow sunglass.
"No Vash were going to go see Doctor Mario right now." Peach demanded as she grabbed his hand delicately and pulled him down a corridor to the medic's station.
A few seconds after Peach had dragged Vash away Zelda stepped into the hallway.
"Vash?"
