War raged and chaos ruled the world...ok let's rephrase that. A war almost occurred but chaos did somewhat rule this world. Huh. Kinda reminded him of the Verse. How the war between the Alliance and Browncoats happened and then the Alliance just let the outer colonies to their own business under their watchful eye. But enough about the past. This world was ruled under a monarch. Not one with an iron fist, but one that was kind and wanted peace throughout the land. But there's things like rebellions and bandits that happen that just create turmoil and chaos. Y'know what? Screw it, let's just get to the story.

TARDIS

'I don't know if I'm going to enjoy or hate this.' Dante thought as he strapped on his last boot.

According to the TARDIS, he had landed in a universe where feudal Japan was mixed in with technology, clothes and equipment that couldn't have existed back then. For example, semi-auto rifles and heavy weaponry that look like crude prototypes compared to their modern day counterparts. But still, he had narrowed down that he was in the world of Grenadier. This world was like when he met Vash the Stampede but had more of a Japanese stylized twist on what Trigun's spaghetti western feel. That and if Vash was a girl that had big assets.

'Note to self: Have Vash and Rushina meet.' The teen timelord mentally noted.

He looked at himself within the mirror. The outfit he put on was brown long sleeve button down shirt, khaki pants that were held up by suspenders, brown clip on boots(modified for travel and combat), brown leather gloves, a brown coat and a gun holster that was turned into a custom utility belt with four pouches on each side and two extra hanging on the left side.

Looking at himself a couple more times over, he nodded and muttered, "Shiny."

Dante then made his way towards the armory. He opened the door and made his way down to a section that contained rows of pistols on the wall. His eyes set on the pistol he was looking for. A Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B. A near exact copy of Mal's pistol, but this one Dante got when in a scuffle with a band of thieves that were trying to salvage his TARDIS. Anyway, he picked it off the wall and went over to where he kept the ammunition and kits. Grabbing a nearby bag, he stuffed the kit and extra ammunition inside and holstered the ammo mags on his belt. He then took a few steps over and grabbed the two revolvers that were known as "Cold" and "Darkness". They were a pair of heavy semi auto revolvers that were self customized to suit Dante's quick-drawing style.

"Cold" is the chromed one with walnut grips, and has a stiff, short trigger. He uses it primarily for rapid firing and scaring lesser opponents away.

"Darkness" is the black one with rosewood grips. It is fitted with a highly sensitive match trigger and a mounting rail, intended for use with small scopes or special sights for precision shooting.

After checking to see that they were in good condition, the teen held them as he grabbed the twin tools' holster. Sliding it on, he told himself, 'Non-lethal shots only. Lethal shots are last resort.'

Ruffling his jacket, he grabbed ammo for the two six shooters and placed it inside the bag. He then walked out of the armory and went to his private quarters. There, he brought out a duffel bag where he proceeded to shovel in extra clothes, a sewing kit, med kit, extra items that most people wouldn't think he'd need and finally the bag he had grabbed from the armory.

Slinging the duffel over his shoulder he then walked to the council room. He flipped a few switches, turned some knobs and finally looked at the screen. It showed that he'd arrived about about 5 hours earlier then when he was originally suppose to. Nodding in satisfaction, Dante then went towards the door, duffel in hand, and opened the door. His eyes were blinded for a moment but readjusted. He could see that the TARDIS was parked right by a road. He closed the door and rolled up his jacket sleeve to twist the Ultramatrix dial. Once done so, he turned to see the TARDIS fading away and filling the air in it's telltale noise. With the TARDIS fully dematerialized, Dante made his way onto the road and proceeded to walk. He walked for about five minutes before he shoved his hands into his pocket and pulled out a small capsule.

'Huh. Must've forgotten to put this away. Oh well, I could use this.'

Clicking the top of it, he threw it a few feet away from him before it exploded and revealed a speeder bike. Dante smiled in satisfaction, knowing this would get him around a lot faster. He then proceeded to strap his duffel on the back and hop onto the seat. Before he pulled on the throttle, he checked on of the bikes side compartments to find a pair of goggles. Dante slipped them on, pulled the throttle and the bike zoomed forward. It'd been awhile since he rode on of these, but it was like riding a bike. He slowed down a bit and it went at a decent pace. Checking to see how much energy was left in it, he saw there was a good three fourths amount of fuel left. He continued onward before stopping when he saw his fuel was around fifty percent. Dante hopped off and grabbed his duffel before pressing a button that converted the bike back into a capsule. He picked it up and noticed that it was getting pretty dark, but the sky shined with the light of the moon and the stars. A noise of running water then reached his ears as he ventured towards the source. What he found was a bonafide, one hundred percent natural hot spring.

'Eh, no harm in taking a bath.' Dante thought to himself.

Setting his bag by the side of the spring, he stripped down to his boxers and settled into the relaxing water. It was then he heard a twig snap that he reached for his nearest pistol. Which so happened to be his Model B. There was more ruffling from the wooded area until out from the brushes popped a girl. An extremely well endowed blonde haired girl.

It was her. Now doubt about it.

She wore a dark pink shirt with short sleeves and white overshirt, kinda like it was supposed to be a vest, which didn't cover her generous assets in front. The pink shirt did, the white vest didn't. Her long pink gloves covered her hands, wrists, and forearms, but had her trigger fingers and thumbs removed, with metal guards on the back palms of her hands. Her long skirt was white and went from her waist to her twirl around her ankles. The right side of her skirt had a huge split up it that went from her waist down to her boots. With the right movements and wind the skirt would reveal her shapely, well-built and flawless legs. A pink strap of cloth was tied high on her right leg, just above the brown holster where her gun, a modified .45 Revolver, hung. Her long boots were mostly leather it seemed, dark pink in color with metallic knee guards. The large straw hat with the pink ribbon around the head, with the long tail flowing behind her completed the outfit.

Dante holstered his weapon and set it by his luggage. "Hello there!"

The girl looked up to see the teen. She smiled and replied, "Hello!"

The dark skinned teen looked up at the sky. "Nice night isn't it?"

"Yes it is," Rushina looked up as well, admiring the night sky. She then brought her attention over towards the hot spring. "Um, do you mind if I can join you?"

"Sure. In fact it's all yours. I was about to be on my way after soaking for a couple minutes more."

"Oh, well I was hoping we could get acquainted."

Bingo.

"Sure. I'll give you a few minutes to change."

"Thank you."

Dante turned his head and looked away. 'I love it when a plan comes together.'

He heard the girl step into the water and gave out a sigh of relief.

"Aaaahhh. Hot springs are the best."

"Sure are. Although nothing beats a hot tub."

Rushina gave Dante a curious look. "A hot tub?"

'Oh right, they don't have those in this world.' He thought, but aloud he said, "Oh, think of it like an indoor bath that's filled with warm water. It's kinda like a hot spring, only it also has bubbles."

"Bubbles in a hot spring? That sounds amazing!"

"Trust me it is. Oh but where are my manners? Dante Price." The teen said stretching out his hand.

"Rushina Tendo, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." The blonde replied, shaking Dante's with her own.

"So what do you do? For a living I mean. Because from the piece you're carrying, I'm pretty sure you're a senshi of sorts." Dante asked, hoping it wasn't out of too left field.

Hey, he was hundreds of years old and the only other women that he had interaction with are friends or companions like River or Clara. Yes there are more, but we won't get too into that.

Rushina remanded quite for a moment before asking, "Do you know what the ultimate battle strategy is?"

Dante promptly shook his head.

"To eliminate the enemy's will to fight without fighting them. The only way to achieve that is to be unarmed. I must keep smiling and I must hold the enemy close to my soft bosom."

The teen snorted softly. "Sorry. I didn't mean to insult you. That is a good philosophy and I had a friend who had the same."

"Oh? And what was he like?"

"Oohh where begin? Silly, goofy, great with kids, a complete doughnut hog, and a complete lady killer."

The two had a good chuckle. "Oh so he's a suitor of sorts?"

"Far from that. He's actually an outlaw."

Rushina stopped laughing. "What?"

"Well he's an outlaw because of an incident that I wish not to disclose. Let's just say he and….another individual, had a bit of a disagreement."

The blonde nodded. "I understand."

"Thanks. To be fair, he was always getting himself into trouble. Though by accident and not by choice. That's why he's my friend. Something we both have in common."

"That you're both ladykillers?"

"What? No! I mean that we both get ourselves into trouble and said trouble we have to deal with or it follows us. "

Suddenly, the timelord's ears caught the sound of crunching dirt two remained still as they saw a young man wearing samurai armor and carrying a sword approach them.

"Huh? What?" the samurai said as he saw the two in the water.

"Is there a problem?" Dante asked him, knowing full well how this person was.

"I….need to hide." The samurai replied.


A/N: Man this idea has been stewing on the back burner for awhile. So yeah, Grenadier. Watched only the anime and that's what I'll be doing. Also to answer a few questions: Unfortunately KamehameGadoken, I will not be doing a Queens Blade teaser. I'm not really interested. If anyone is interested in co-writing with me, I'm happy to oblige. You may(if you want to) bring in one OC. Also a few other things to address. Bleach is being put on hold as well as Vampire. Sekirei is being delayed and Winter Sekirei is losing steam. FOZ I recently updated and is currently on hold until negotiations with The Elemental sage are final. Also he's helping me with my HOTD story as well. One last thing. I have a new poll open. It's for which story I should be putting more time and effort into. Make sure to check that out. It's on my proflie page. Anyway, that's all for today so this is RoninS636 signing off.
