I Love You Rem Chapter 4: Battle Between Brothers

"Knives where are you!" Vash yelled as he and Wolfwood continued to look around.

"Why I'm right here," Knives replied and came into view with Legato right by his side.

"What do you want?" Wolfwood yelled.

"I merely want to depose of that woman," Knives replied as he looked down upon Vash from the top of a building.

"How did you know about Rem?" Vash yelled up to his brother.

"Well that should have been an easy answer brother, you know I have my men out watching you, to put it mildly Legato simply spotted that wench trying to save that boy. He informed me at once and I rushed right over."

"Why do you want to kill her?" Wolfwood asked.

"Because she ruined my perfect plan she reset the course on that accursed ship project SEEDS, she ruined everything and now she must pay," Knives said angrily.

"But…" Vash began.

"Now I will take care of you and then go and get Rem," Legato said as he jumped down to where Vash and Wolfwood where standing.

"That's what you think!" Wolfwood said and pulled out his cross and pointed it straight at Legato.

"Oh I'm so scared, really do you think you can beat me with a toy like that?" Legato asked with a laugh.

"I can sure as hell try," Wolfwood replied and began to shoot.

"See I told you you couldn't" Legato replied as he moved so fast the bullets missed. "It is foolish to try and defeat me," he said as he used his powers to disappear and suddenly reappear right behind Wolfwood.

"Wolfwood lookout!" Vash hollered and ran at Legato.

"Now you die!" Legato yelled and was getting ready to do an attack.

"No you don't!" Vash replied and punched him in the face before he could unleash his attack.

"Thanks Needle Noggin," Wolfwood said as he watched Legato fall to the ground.

"No problem," Vash replied.

"Well it looks like I'll have to get rid of you myself," Knives said and jumped down in front of Legato.

"Knives I can take care of them," Legato said getting up.

"No you have proved your uselessness," Knives replied.

"Knives," Legato said again.

"Fine I shall give you another chance, take care of Wolfwood I will take care of Vash," Knives said.

"Yes thank you Sir," Legato said and looked at Wolfwood.

"Come on I'm ready!" Wolfwood yelled as they began to fight.

"Now shall we begin?" Knives asked Vash.

"Yeah let's go," Vash replied.

"Your not bad," Legato said as Wolfwood blasted him with his missile launcher.

"I know," Wolfwood replied.

"Vash! Please let me go I want to stay with him!" Rem yelled.

"I'm sorry but I can't allow you to do that," Millie replied.

"I see it the place to get a ride," Meryl said as they approached a building with very strange looking animals outside.

"I don't want to," Rem yelled.

"What's wrong brother even I thought you could fight better than this," Knives said with a laugh as he watched his brother try to stand.

"Who cares how good I fight as long as I win it doesn't matter," Vash replied his body covered in bumps and bruises.

"See!" Knives yelled angrily, "See what that woman has done to you she has made you soft, Vash you want to be the most powerful, the leader they need to serve you, you are their master!"

"No your wrong I am their servant I protect them," Vash replied.

"Vash listen to me!" Knives said and grabbed Vash by the throat.

"Needle Noggin!" Wolfwood yelled as he watched Vash begin strangled.

"The only one you need to worry about is me!" Legato yelled and punched Wolfwood in the face.

"Vash!" Rem cried she could tell he was losing.

"Rem please," Meryl said as they rode off toward December.

"I can't leave, let go!" Rem yelled as she began to struggle.

"Rem stop!" Millie yelled as Rem began to run back to Vash.

"So brother how do you want to die?" Knives asked as he stood over his brother's bloody body.

"I'm not dying yet," Vash replied trying to stand but unable to make his body work right.

"You'll die when I say," Knives said. "And I say you die now!" he said as he pointed him gun at Vash.

"I'm not giving up not now not after I found him," Rem said as she ran.

"What should we do?" Millie asked as they watched her run.

"I'm not sure," Meryl replied. "If we catch her she'll just get away again.

"Well we have to do something Meryl," Millie said.

"Yes maybe we should just do as Vash said and go to December," Meryl replied.

"But we'll be going there for no reason if Rem doesn't come," Millie added.

"I know but I just don't know what to do," Meryl said.

"Maybe we should just wait here I'm sure they will come here when the battle is over and then we can take Rem to Mr. Wolfwood's church," Millie said.

"I guess," Meryl replied with and unsure look on her face.

"I'm not leaving you Vash, I'm not losing you again," Rem repeated to herself as she ran.

"Alright brother here is where we part," Knives said as he shot Vash in the side.

"No!" Vash replied.

"Next I'll put a bullet between your eyes."

"Here how's this?" Legato said as he pointed his gun at Wolfwood.

"No stop!" Wolfwood yelled as Legato shot him in the leg.

"Ahhhh!" Wolfwood screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Are you ready to die?" Knives asked Vash.

"I'm sorry Needle Noggin," Wolfwood said as he was beaten down again by Legato.

"Vash!" Rem yelled in her mind as her eyes widened at the sight of Vash and Knives.

"Goodbye brother now you die," Knives said. "No wait I'm going to work on my long-distance shooting haven't done it in awhile" Knives said and took a few steps back. "Ah yes much better now I actually have to aim instead of just putting the gun to your head."

"No don't," Wolfwood said as he tried again to get up.

"I'm not going this easy no way," Vash said softly as he pulled out his gun.

"Oh I see you trying to shoot me well it's not going to work," Knives said.

"I'm not going to let him die," Rem said as she neared the battle. "I can't let him die like this," she said not seeing him draw his gun.

"Well brother it's been a blast but I really must go," Knives said as he was about to pulled the trigger on his gun.

"I'm not going anywhere not yet," Vash said and with out thinking shot his gun.

"What was that a gunshot?" Legato asked he too didn't see Vash draw his gun.

"What? Why isn't Knives dead?" Wolfwood asked himself staring at Knives not bothering to look at Vash.

"No… no," Vash said in shock dropping his gun on the ground. "No Rem no!" Vash yelled as he saw Rem drop to the ground in front of him.
