Chapter3
-Rhez-
Tears began to run down Rhez's face as the gravity of what he had done swept over him. "More will be here soon, with their little weapons." The voice in his head said to him. "Go away! Look what you made me do!!!" Rhez screamed.
"What you have done is nothing to be ashamed of. In order for the plants to grow, the weeds must be cut." It said in it's eerily calm tone. Rhez looked around. "Nothing to be ashamed of? But… but this was wrong…"
"No little seed, in order for life to occur, death must occur. It is the balance of nature, that we kill these creatures before us. I can see that now… it is our place in this universe to eradicate them. They are nothing more than the first of many for you little seed." Rhez let the words wash over him. For some reason, the terrible feeling in his gut slowly went away. "This… is our place?" He said, saying the words that made him feel re-assured. "Yes, but you must go now. Soon more than what you can handle will be here, get different clothes and flee this place, for now." Rhez ran up the stairs and looted what clothes he could from the rooms. A black tank top and black leather pants in the first room. Black boots and gloves in the next. He used a hair tie to pull his long hair back into a tight ponytail. He tucked the tank top in and grabbed a belt with a knife scabbard that was hanging on the wall. He found the knife that it was meant for laying on the nightstand, a big bowie knife with a hand guard on it. He shoved the knife into the scabbard on the belt and ran to the bathroom and washed the blood from his face quickly. He heard a crash downstairs, and the sound of angry voices. He looked around, and saw the window. Seconds later he came crashing out of the second story window. His momentum took him across the alley way and onto the roof top of a close by one story building. He rolled when he hit and came up to his feet. He could see a mob of people in front of the bar, they hadn't noticed him over their yelling. Rhez ran in the opposite direction of them, jumping onto the next rooftop over. He peaked over the edge and saw no one in the alley. The young man jumped down and landed on his feet, his heart was racing, if they found him… how many could he take? "Blend in, move with the weeds and come to me." Rhez took a deep breath, that sounded like it would work. He stepped out into the dusty street and started walking towards the bar. He passed the mob as they rushed into the bar wielding knives and guns. He smiled to himself and kept walking.
"Why?! Why would someone do this kind of thing?!" An elderly woman sobbed to a man as she cried out her words. "Lena!!! Lena!!!" She screamed and collapsed into the man's arms. "Why? Why would someone do this?!" She screamed hysterically. The man held her and shook his head. "I don't know… if only Eriks were here…" He said to himself. Rhez started to feel torn about what killing them when he saw the old woman crying. "Hey, what the hell is going on?" A man asked as he walked by and saw the commotion. "I don't know." Rhez said quickly. The man that was holding the old lady spoke up to them. "A whole buncha' people got killed in the bar, Riley walked in and said he saw a girl holding a knife and covered in blood. They're gunna' lynch her if they find her." Rhez clenched his fist, angry that the man had thought he was a girl because of his hair. Than he smiled and put his hands in his pockets and kept walking, they were looking for a girl. His green eyes gleamed in the suns light as he made his way to the edge of town. A huge sand steamer stood waiting while people boarded it just outside of town. "Get on that, it will get you here faster." The voice said to him. Rhez started walking towards it, but the voice spoke up again. "You will need money… there." He turned to see a woman walking into an alley. Rhez looked around, than followed the woman. A minute later he came walking out of the alley with a pocketful of cash.
"Thirty six double dollars please." The man at the sand steamer ramp told him. Rhez pulled out the wad of money and put it in his hand without counting it and walked onto the steamer. The man looked at the money, sixty five double dollars. "Thank you sir, and have a nice day."
-Stran-
"Alright Stran its time to get searching here take this." Vash throws Stran a tiny ear piece. "It's a two way communicator." Stran looks at the tiny piece of equipment in amazement. Till this day he had never seen this kind of technology. "You take that way." Vash points to the darkness and into a hallway that seemed to go on forever. "If you find anything contact me right away." "Yes Vash." Stran replies with a nod of his head and start a slow jogging pace into the darkness. Vash looks around at the several other passages he could take. "Hhmm lets see which shall we take." Vash looks at the ground for a moment before seeing a stick laying on the hauls metal floor. "Ah this should do the trick round and round we go which ever way it lands we shalt not go WWWWEEEEE." Vash yells as he spins in a circle making himself dizzy then throwing the stick in the air. He regains his balance then watch's the stick land. "AWW but that's the way I wanted to go o well what's that dumb stick know." Vash says before jolting down the hall.
Stran shakes his head and smirks as he hears his bumbling idiot of a brother and instructor start getting back to his normal self. Crash crank "YA NO WHY ME"
"Vash what's happing are you ok" Stran screams into the communicator. " No I'm not fine I listened to this stick to tell me which way to go then I fell in this big hole and ripped my shirt and I'm prity sure I'm gonna get tetanus why dose every one always try to trick me." "SHUT UPP damn Vash." Stran cuts the humanoid typhoon off. You can't get tetanus or at least I don't think you can and you call me an immature baby. Now crawl your ass out of that hole and get back to looking for what ever it is you got me looking for.
Stran continues down the halls and up the stairs searching room to room. Vash finally crawls his ass of the hole and makes his way to the central power plant of the entire space station. "Vash are you there it Stran can you hear me bra Vash." What the hell is going stupid old ass technology. Stran search's around for light switch or a button looking for any source of light at all. Before Stran has time to find any switch there's a loud eardrum splitting screech as the door behind him opens and fills a small volume of the dank and musty room with a pail yellow light. Stran instinctively ducks behind the table and begins to move out and beside the wall try to get close to the figure who opened the door. Stran moved vigilantly as he stalks up behind the being walking threw the room as Stan gets with in striking distance the figure stop's and peeks over his shoulder looking around in the dark for the slightest hint of movement. The Figure pulls his gun from his side and Stran strikes knocking the weapon out of his hand and following up with another kick Stran makes contact with its general facial area knocking the tall figure on it ass and a few feet back. "Stran Stran come in can you hear me Stran." "What did you do to my brother you bastard?" "Damn it Vash what are you doing get up its me Stran what are you trying to do have us kill each other then your self righteous plan would be over real quick." "Hay I'm sorry Stran I didn't know HAY besides what are you mad about your not the one with a boot imprint on your face and a lost gun. "Look I've searched every inch of my side of the ship and found nothing strange well recently strange." "Look at that." Vash point at a spot on the floor. "Look at what" Stran replies while bending over to take a closer look. "Right there a footprint." "Eww it's covered in some kinda slimly liquid." "That's just what where looking for now we can follow the trial of our new sibling while your down there grab a sample" Vash instructs Stran. "What in the hell do you need a sample for your to dumb to analyze anything and I'm to new at this" "Don't argue with me just do it" grumbling under is voice Stran leans back down to collect a sample with a near by piece of metal shard that got broken in there little tussle. "O and Stran." Vash says. "What is it now Vash" Stran says agitatedly "Next time look before you kick." "Hu" BAAM Vash kicks Stran right in the ass knocking him foreword head first into the ground. "Ow" Stran says holding his eye and crying "Ow Vash the metal shard went in my eye I cant see" "O my god Stran I'm so sorry it was only suppose to be a joke hear let me see your eye I'm so sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry please forgive me hear let me help." Vash kneels down and leans in to inspect Stran's eye "Ha Ha Ha I got you.
"You stupid fool I was so worried ALALALALA. Vash tackles Stran and the rumble and wrestle and scream at each other camera panes out and though whole ship is shacking still able to hear there play full, idiotic rambling
