Disclamer: As before I do not own trigun and trinity blood.

The two sun was already high in the sky, beating down on the baked ground of sand below. Of all days for some odd reason it seemed to be twice as hot outside after that strange blast of eerie light that had came several miles ahead of them, shaking the ground for miles nearly giving Meryl herself a heart attack.
After all her time now traveling the dessert of the out lands with Vash and Wolfwood, and Millie, and after all the weirdoes they had seen that for some odd reason made her hair stand on end. What was worse in was in the same direction they needed to go to get to the next town.
Or so the broom head had said, before the map blew away. ''Good grief...'' she muttered flinging her hands again angrily s sweat pouring down her head as she once more glared at the spiky haired gunman in front of her. ''Its hotter then ever out here, the gar is nearly out of gas and now we could be lost.''' she growled hands bawled .''I swear Vash if we make it out of this IM GOING TO KILL YOU!''
She raised her hand giving one final good smack for extra measure before tiredly collapsing beside Millie for some reason not having enough energy to continue her lashing. ''God I swear how do I get myself into these messes.''
Vash cringed as Meryl smacked him squarely doing his best to protect himself from the small girls fists. Wincing as her small head seem to hit him squarely in a tender place in his arm. ’Geesh for someone so short she is pretty strong. And pregnant dogy at times.’ He thought with a sigh, turning his face to him slightly pouting a soft whine rising in his throat as he forced a small sad look like a small child seeking pity. ‘’How can you be so cold’’ He whined sniffing. ’’It…wasn’t my fault honestly Insurance Girl.’’
Millie smiled as she gave a nervous giving Vash a look of pity before turning to her parents. ''Now Meryl.'' she said in a soft gentle tone. ''We cant blame it all on Mr. Vash for being a butter fingers, the wind was blowing pretty hard as if a sand storm was starting, Mr. Vash was just trying to hurry to keep us alive. Right Mr. Vash.'' she smiled up words before going on. ''Lucky that odd light appeared and changed the Tide of the wind even tough it was weird. Like some kind of outward power, what do you think Mr Priest?'' she asked as she leaned over her chin resting innocently on his shoulder as she smiled eyes shining from excitement. ''Do you think it was the power of God your always talking about?''
Wolfwood, the driver, smiled to the backseat, "Stranger things have happened right Tongari?" He laughed truing to see a pair of Aqua eyes glaring at him. ’’Hey I'm not a needle Noggin’’ He pushed out his lip comically covering his eyes as if to cry earning a annoyed moan from Meryl. ’’Why are you to being so cruel.’’
Wolfwood merely sighed reaching his hand over as he thunked Vash’s head. ’’Oh stop whining.’’ he growled before turning his face becoming more serious as he looked ahead toward the smoker rising within his sight. Eyes narrowing. ’’I'm not sure Big Girl about the power of God but something's up Big girl. Something but I'm sure its nothing to worry about. Just sit tight we should be in the town and out of this town soon,’’
A sigh came from the back seat as Meryl settled down her head now resting on the seat as she looked to the sky, at the odd coloring it seemed to have taken just now, as if lights begin to flicker across it before vanishing making her blink quickly thinking she had seen things. ’’Good.’’ she said in a soft voice. ’’I think the suns getting to me.

Slowly the red haired nuns eyes begin to flutter open, a soft moan escaping her lips as awareness slowly begin to return to her in small steps. Her body screaming in pain as she fought to move, to raise her right arm witch was trapped oddly behind her head, snapped into at the bone besides bleeding freely from the claws of the white Crusink.
Pain shooting up her arm and down her spine bring her to a full state of awareness as she let out a soft yet loud cry of pain her head landing with a smack back down on the sandy bed below her, eyes shut as she shook trying to drive the numbing sensations from her mind. and keep herself from not slipping back into darkness.
Tempting to move again Esther risked opening her eyes to explore the world around her as much as her body could. Eyes witch were hazed over in pain and bright from past tears now showing in confusion as she took the sand surrounding her, covering every inch of her body almost. Sweat soaking her layers of clothing from the pounding suns above.
'Wait suns? 'Puzzled the girl tried to crane her neck to get a better look above her, soft eyes widening in horror as she looked at the two surrounding orbs growing brightly. Fear consuming her as she tired to grip what was happening.
Was she dead? Had she hit her head? Had somehow the Earth had been changed by the odd weapon Albion had hidden below their city. It just did not make sense to her. Waking up on a sand covered land, with no house over her. Both she and Abel stuck under two odd suns.
'Wait Abel!?'
The young women's head quickly jerked to the side, fear and dread building as she found herself face to face wit h a to pale looking Abel lay beside her, a two peaceful smile resting over his lips as he lay their lifeless. No life seeming within him as blood flowed from the wound above his heart.
''F...father?'' Esther whispered her good hand gently touching his cheek in hoe for a response her eyes widening in horror though at how cold his skin was, even for how out i was outside. Panic rising Esther abled herself to sit up griping Abel's shoulders as she begin to shake him, her voice rising in to a full pitch scream. ''Father! Father! ABEL! PLEASE! YOUR NOT OH GOD YOUR NOT!"' she sobbed shaking him harder not about to give into the chance of her beloved Priest being dead. Not noticing the soft breath that did rise from his lips, indicting a slight life within him. ''Please...Abel!'' Her head leaned to his chest as she sobbed pressing her face to his beast. Total grief striking through her at the thought of his death. He had been their for her through so much. They had been nearly to hell and back and survived during their time with Ion.
Now this. What would she do if he died. ’’Abel…please hold on.’’ she begged. ’’You cant die.. not now please help should come… just please hold on.’’ Her ands clenched at his priestly robes eyes closed tightly not eve noticing as four fingers neared her in an advancing jeep. Their eyes wide in shock as they stared at the fallen figures.
Vash himself had noticed the two as they reached the round crater his face becoming hard as stone as he took in the surroundings eyes wide and thoughtful. Not bothering to look at his bewildered comrades as his sharp eyes scanned his surroundings.
The Plants eyes winding as he noticed the two broken figures instantly, his gut turning as he took them in quickly. The women not seeming to worse for wears but the figure held tightly in her one arm was not moving.
A lump formed in his gentle heart as he quickly without thought jumped from the moving jeep running at full speed. Faster then the human eye could go reaching the twos side quickly. Looking them over his frowning increasing.
The silver long haired Priest or so he assumed was still alive, his chest rising with labored effort yet he was deathly pale his breathing more then positive. The woman who was also oddly dressed seemed to be intact except for her arm witch hung uselessly behind her. She laid over the man protectively not even seeming to notice as Vash laid a hand on her shoulder asking if she was alright.
Concern raising the gunman turned looking toward his wide eyed comrades urgency wavering in his words.
‘’Wolfwood, Insurance girls get over here! QUICK!’’

Meanwhile not faraway very much alive lay a broken body of the long blond haired white Crusink, a grimace held on his face as he struggled with one arm to pull himself across the sand. Gasping anger burning bright in his eyes. Betrayal within his own orbs. ''d**n..you Abel..'' he gasped his hand reaching for his lost fake limb far insight coughing sand that came into his lips. Anger twisted on his face on having to crawl on the ground like a worm.
He was nearly spilt in half., shaking in pain with each movement as the nanobots hummed working to repair the wounds he received. The only thing he regretted in Taking Lilith's blood and power it ad enhanced his own naobots and healing.
Making it more painful then the wounds itself. Having a fake body did not help either. He was nearly broken in pieces. His on fake leg broken behind him, his arm broken lying a few feet in front.
Hid wings witch had yet to vanish broken dragging at his side as he snarled reaching desperately for his arm. ''Ill kill that woman. Ill kill her for this...she..kept..me...from..from Abel..'' he groaned stopping s another pain ran through his body. ''From my destiny...shell.. Die for this!''
for his arm.'' Ill kill that women. Ill kill her for this...she...kept..me...from… from Abel..'' he groaned stopping s another pain ran through his body.'' From my destiny...shell.. Die for this!''
