Here's the next part of the story. But first, a recap. So far, Ace saw his friends get kidnapped and was unable to do anything. During the night he sees someone in his backyard and goes after them, later finding out that this person is none other than a ghost that has come for him. Ace agrees to go with the ghost, but gets pushed into a dimension hole before he knows what's going on. Also, the anime that will be featured in this entry is called "Trigun".And now for the story.

"Relocation"

I landed on something soft. It didn't feel like your typical soft things like blankets and pillows. I had landed on sand, which meant I was in a desert. Unfortunately for me, it was night time and the temperature felt like it was winter. I needed warm clothes and I needed them fast. I got lucky when I found a jeep. It was abandoned and had some luggage in it. I put on what I thought looked best. I put on a long sleeved black shirt, a pair of GetaGRIP gloves (they still had the tag on so I read the name) over a pair of thin black gloves (The GetaGRIP gloves were finger gloves), a pair of torque pants (also had the tag still on), some socks, a pair of gunner boots (another item with the tag still on), a black headband and a gunner coat (tag on it). I also put on 2 belts because I thought it was cool. Now that I was fully dressed I began walking. I would have driven the jeep but it's keys were missing. I had a lot to think about while I was walking like where I was and why all those clothes still had tags on them. After walking for a while I just laid down and went to sleep.

When I woke up there was a strange guy standing over me. I got freaked out and yelled, but I think that freaked him out more since he jumped back. I got up. "Sorry about that. You kinda freaked me out there." I said. He was the first person I had met and I didn't want to scare him away. I was relieved to see that he was smiling. I took a minute to look at what he was wearing. He had on a long black coat and had spikey blonde hair. He also had on black boots with steel plating on the toe of the shoe. His right arm looked like it was covered in a long black glove with straps on it. And somehow I could tell he was armed even though I couldn't see his gun. I told him about myself and what happened to me. He believed me, although I'm pretty sure he didn't really. "What's you name anyway?" the stranger asked. "I'm Ace," I had said, but something made me say more. To this day I don't know what it was. "Ace The Black."

The stranger didn't really tell me much about himself other than he was a traveler and he was headed towards town to get his coat tailored. It had rips and holes in the bottom. I followed him since I couldn't go anywhere to begin with. It took some time to get to the town. The traveler went into a tailor's shop and didn't come out for an hour. After that, he went over to a saloon. The one thing that amazed me is how much things looked like the old west. I looked around and saw a lot of wanted posters. One said "Wanted: Vash The Stampede. Reward: $$60,000,000,000". I asked a few people about this Vash character. Apparently he was also known as the humanoid typhoon. People told me a lot about him, but many of the stories didn't match up. I gave up and went to sit by the traveler. He offered me some whiskey but I told him I wasn't old enough. I got a glass of water and just sat there quietly. That is, until another person came into the saloon. He had his weapon drawn. It was a very large gun, like a gatling gun or something. The traveler noticed him almost at the same time I did. The person who came in then pointed at the traveller and said "I've found you, Vash The Stampede!"

This left me quite confused. All of the stories about him depicted him as a brutal killer who would gun down anyone. If that was true, then I wouldn't be here. I thought that this man obviously had found the wrong person. I wouldn't be able to think that for long. The situation became dangerous as I saw the man's gatling gun begin to spin. I dove for the ground. So did everyone else. I happened to glance at the wall with the wanted signs on it. The man's picture was on it. I found this to be very strange. An outlaw hunting another outlaw! But then my mind began to think about why there were no bullets flying. I looked back towards the man to find the traveler beside him with his gun to the man's head. "Now if you would be so kind as to lower your gun, I'm sure we can talk this out." said the traveler kindly. The man did no such thing. He simply dropped his gun and ran like a sissy. Not wanting to stick around after that, the traveler grabbed his bag and left. I followed him. "So are you really that outlaw that has all that money on his head? You really don't seem like it." To my surprise, he answered "That's me alright. Humanoid typhoon, Vash The Stampede."

[So what happens next? Will our hero get himself in another mess? you'll have to check back to find out! Note: It wasn't a typo when I put two dollar signs. In "Trigun", the currency is double dollars, and it's written with two dollar signs.]
