The four travelers got off the bus at May and stretched out after their voyage. The wolf snuck off behind a building for a smoke. The others continued to look around. That's when they noticed that the city seemed quiet...too quiet.
"I wonder where everyone is?" Milly thought aloud. "I don't know," Meryl replied, "I haven't heard about anything odd here...and Vash just got here, I don't think his bad luck works that fast." While the squirrel and the calico talked it over, the jackrabbit looked about for a place to get a drink, since the priest drank all of his water. Finally finding a tavern, Vash pushed the doors open...then pushed them right back out again, his expression showing surprise. "Hey, Mr. Vash!" Milly waved, "Find a place for us to get drinks?" "No! It's closed!" Vash sweatdropped, suddenly he noticed something shining from atop a high cliff. "That Darn Cat!" "You walked right in though," Meryl found the rabbit to be missing some logic, "WAIT! Where are you going?!" But it was too late, Vash was hopping his way up the cliff. --- Upon the cliff Vash was horrified to find a whole pile of dead lemmings! "No! Who could have done this?!" Before he knew it, a well-shaped fox was standing next to him. "Whoa! Foxy Lady!" Vash grinned then slapped himself to regain his composure, "Did you kill these lemmings?! Did you?!" "So what if I did?" The fox gave him a smug grin, "They were just a ruthless gang. And they were lemmings, they would have killed themselves eventually." "But no one has the right to kill!" Vash pulled a fist to his side. "Heh! That's easy for you to say, Vash the Stampede!" The lady fox laughed at him. "By the way, I am Dominique the Cyclops of the Gung-Ho Furries!" She pulled her gun on him, "If you're not careful, bunny, you just might lose your life today." Vash blinked, he really didn't want to fight! And he especially didn't want to fight such a pretty, foxy lady! "You better be careful yourself, miss!" Vash reached for his gun. Dominique smirked again, then suddenly disappeared from view. The next Vash saw her she had her gun pointed right at his head. All of a sudden their concentration was broken as a metal spike flew by! "WHAT?!" Dominique jumped back then gasped, "You're not supposed to be here until next part!" "Shut up, chickenshit! This is a condensed story!" A scary-looking rooster stalked onto the scene. "Dammit, E.G.! You're such a doofus!" Vash looked between the two of them, "What's going on?" "You're such a biotch!" E.G. yelled back, "I hate you!" "HIYAA!!" Another voice broke onto the scene, and E.G.'s body was pierced with a metal blade. He fell to the ground, dead. A long-haired, samurai weasle turned towards Vash, "I shall fight you now, rodent!" "You killed the rooster!!" Vash flailed, it was more death than he could handle, "And..! And I'm not a rodent!! Jackrabbits don't belong to the rodent family!" "I don't care! I am Rai-Dei the Blade! And where the other Gung-Ho Furries failed, I shall succeed in defeating Vash the Stampede." He paused to smile, "And gain spiritual awareness!" "Rai-Dei!" Dominique called out to her fellow Gung-Ho Furry. "Dominique!" Rai-Dei the weasle forgot about his rabbit problem and turned towards the beautiful fox. "Rai-Dei!" "Dominique!" Cue the dramatic music as the two furries frollick towards each other. "This is disturbing." Vash tried to slink off. Suddenly two shots were heard followed by the sound of two bodies slumping to the ground. "WHAT?!" Vash turned towards the sound of the shots, "W-Wolfwood!" He gasped in dismay, "How COULD you?!" "Keep your cottontail on." Wolfwood glanced at the unhappy jackrabbit. "They would have tried to kill you again once they came to their senses. Plus I really hate anything that resembles a soap opera." "But everyone deserves life!!" Vash whined, "LOVE & PEACE! Don't you understand?!" Though it was a sad turn of events, this whole messed up scene prevented the terror that would have originally been brought to Augusta in the future. Or did it? --- Upon returning back down to the city, Vash and Wolfwood met up with Meryl and Milly who were munching away on pudding and ice cream. "You two sure took a long time!" Meryl grumbled. "What were you doing?" Milly asked as curiously as a cat can. Vash and Wolfwood looked at each other. "Nothing."
