Chapter 1: Introductions

It had been a year since Vash defeated Knives who was now kept in suspended animation. Vash used one of the chambers from the city that no longer flew in the sky, to keep Knives out of trouble. He really wished there was some other way, Knives was his brother after all, but deranged no less. Now Vash's biggest problem was getting Meryl to agree to marry him. After the whole ordeal with his brother, he realized how much she actually meant to him. They'd been `dating' but he hadn't popped the question yet. So he found himself at the local bar in the town Leo, taking advise from Millie.

" Now all you have to do now Mr. Vash is confess your love for her. Meryl really does love you, you know."

" I know, but every time I go to tell her I feel like there are butterflies in my stomach. And my heart, oh boy, I don't know if I can do it."

" You can do it Mr. Vash, I believe in you."

At that moment a young lady waltzed in like a zombie and approached Vash.

" I'm waiting for you out side." The woman then collapsed into peaceful slumber

This is too familiar. Vash immediately got up and ran outside. There he found the most disturbing sight he's seen in a while. There stood Legato Bluesummers, alive and well with a little girl on his right shoulder.

" Your, your…" Vash stuttered

" Dead?" Legato finished

" Yeah! I ki…" Vash couldn't finish, it still hurt his heart that he had to take a human life

" Well it seems that I've been revived."

" Yeah it does. Knives!"

" No, Knives has nothing to do with this." The little girl said, " I am Child, we've been sent here to invite you to take place in a most awesome event."

" And what event is that?" Vash said tensely fearing the answer

" The revival of the human race. They are no more than a virus to this planet. But when we're done, they will be able to co exist with it, even making it better. Then your and Rem's, all the ideals of a New World will become a reality."

" But how?" Vash asked now not so fearful but still cautious

" That is information only allowed to the Master. But what we require of you, is your brother."

" Knives?"

" Yes, he must be redeemed from his crimes against fate and life. Only the Angelo of the Light can help him."

" Angelo of the Light?"

" That's you Vash, and Knives is the Angelo of Darkness. That is what Master has deemed you and your brother. But we understand that without dark there cannot be light. So we will purify you both. Taking the dark from him and inserting it into you and taking light from you and giving it to him. To balance things, you, a loving creature by nature will not act on the darkness given to you. And Knives, a creature of action will act on the light given to him. It's utterly perfect."

" So what's the catch."

" There is none." Legato replied, " We will bring you love and peace." He laughed slightly

Vash crossed his arms and looked at them both critically, " And you two think I'll buy that?"

" Either you help us, or we will help ourselves." Child said proudly, " But I rather not force you."

" Yeah, I bet your `Master' is all about submission."

That made Child glare, " You will not insult the Master!"

The girl leapt from Legato's shoulder and stomped over to Vash. All Vash could do was look down at her anger doll like features. Then she abruptly brought the heel of her shoe down on his big toe. Vash yelped, grabbing his foot and hoping around. Millie stuck her head out of the window she had been watching from within the bar.

" That wasn't very nice little girl." She said in a scolding way

" Well it wasn't very nice what he said about my Master." Child put her hands on her hips, " Enough games Vash the Stampede, either you come with us or we take you!"

Vash stopped hopping around to stand up straight and look at the little girl, " Where is your mother."

" She's dead, but if you want to talk to my father, he's right over there." She pointed at a man leaning against a porch wall.

Vash gasped, " Wolfwood!"

Author's Note:
