Fuzzy peeked over the edge of the RV’s roof and snorted. ”I’m still recovering from that nightmare of a ride. So no.” River‘s grin grew wider and she said, ”Remind me to take you for a real ride some time. Now come on… it will take your mind off any car sickness.” Fuzzy grew uneasy. Does that mean all the rides will be like? He wondered and he sighed. Reluctantly he slowly climbed off the roof and saw buckets of soapy water and rags. He had a bad feeling about this.
With the RV clean, River slapped Fuzzy on the back and grinned once more. ”We make a good team. Thanks for the help.” Fuzzy sat there dripping wet, with a miserable look on his face as River was using the one dry towl on the RV. River hummed happily as she started drying the RV. She was glad it wasn’t her who had a bucket dumped on, though she did feel bad for the Fuzzmister. ”I’ll finish making your present this week, and add a bonus that you’ll really like! Ok? Thanks again.” She said glancing back at Fuzzy. She had been working at night on a side project for a while; ever since Fuzzy had saved her at the scrap heap in Shinra. Though it was a complicated project; she was confidant the prototype would be done soon. She went to work fixing the windshield and while she was waiting for it to dry so she could scrape off the extra resin, she glanced back at Fuzzy. ”Stay right there… I got an idea.” She said and she ran back into the RV to go get something that could dry him off. She grabbed a blow dryer and hoped that he wouldn’t poof out. Worth trying. She thought with a smirk and she ran back out.

Giglamesh would return and of course first thing he noticed was a soaked fuzzy. "What the ******** happen........she cleaned the rv didnt she?" With a depressed look fuzzy shaking slightly just nodded as if he had seen the horrors of hell. As well as he was horrified by what she had created for use as a blow dryer. Giglamesh had a very coy grin on his face She was unaware he had returned, and since she was cleaning the rv she would of had the windows closed making her unable to hear gig or see him. So giglamesh would pretty much like a serpent slide around the back of the rv, where he would get a bucket of cold water and like a ninja make his way on top of the rv. Once there he would position himself over the door to pour the bucket on her. For fuzzy, as well as he was being playfull so gig must of been in a good mood.

{ Mai} River got sidetracked and started to fiddle with the machine she was going to make for Fuzzy. He's going to look so cute! She thought with a giggle and she closed the back of the fixed stuffed animal. There was a chime from her wall clock and she blinked realizing how much time had passed. She grabbed the blow dryer and she skipped to the door hoping Fuzzy would like the present. Opening the door she skipped down the stairs and saw Fuzzy looking at something. "Eh? What are you looking at?"{bah! you suck!}

With out warning he would pour the water from directly above her, then he would say. "Hes looking at a bucket.....anyways....what the hell did you do to him!?" He would hop down...and even go to the lengths of placing the bucket over her head. He would then head back over to the new sword he had stuck in the ground removing them. Play time aside they needed to get to the mission, on the way he would make his new weapons. "Anyways, once you finish repairs its time to head west to the neighboring town of tetsuya....its a short drive however, ill have the rv in still mode, so i can make my new weapon without your skilled driving causing me to make a mistake, or loose a finger."

She screeched as the water drenched her. My clothes!!! She thought horrified and the bucket went over her head. Shock, pure shock stopped any speech as she lifted the bucket off her head. What... the... hell? She thought and she threw the bucket at Gig hiding an amused smile. "I am so gonna pay you back! Pink shirts... and green pants. Gah my clothes are all ruined. You know what I hope your dang finger does get sliced off. You jerk! What happened to Fuzz was an accident... but what will happen to you will not be!" She said and she stormed back into the Rv before she gave a wide grin. She was happy to see him like he was back when Rain was still alive. She would never tell him this; but she wasn't mad, she just wanted him to think she was. Her favorite kind of revenge. Smirking to herself she went back to her room to change. Sighing she slipped out of the awesome outfit and slipped into basic jeans and a top. Though Messing with his clothes may be fun too... She thought smirking once more.

"Well fuzz guess she issnt going to dry you off.....which im sure if for the better....blow dryers are even worse then car rides." He would get a smirk however, thinking of fuzzy.....a huge purple puff of fuzz from the dryer, that would make him laugh so hard, as well he could already here maiyuri screaming in excitement. ITS SO FUZZY! He got a coy grin from ear to ear, but it was back to business. He would head inside in in to rivers room/shop. And he went straight to work, even if she was inside changing Evading anything she would pick up and throw at him as he stayed in there.
He wasted no time in removing the wrap on the handle of the swords, exposing there plastic grip underlay. He would then remove the screws for the two handle pieces and then he would slide off the large guards. then he would examine one of the sword next to one of the handguns. He was going to have to remove then hand gun handles, and replace it with the better fitting sword handle. He would mark a curved line on the handle of the gun where he would cut, the curve matched the curve of the back of the gun. Taking paper and cutting it to match the line he would mark on the swords his cutting line. He wanted to get all cutting done first so he would the lay the blade down flat, and place the hand gun over where he would set the marker on the blade, then after removing the hand gun he would set a straight bar on the blade to make a perfectly straight line all the way to its tip. After measuring the width of the over under barrel h would make a line slightly not as wide as the barrel, and he would make a perfectly straight and parallel line to the first line, he would repeat this on both blades.

River yanked out the pin and threw a practice grenade at Gig before she crossed her arms saying, "What the heck are you doing in my room anyway?" She then spotted the new weapons and curiously headed over to examine them. Woa... cool! She thought and she wondered what metal the sword was made out of. It seemed... different from other swords. "A new gunblade eh... do we have to set off right away or... She started to ask but she realized she was still slightly mad at him so being around him she would no doubly lose her temper. "Never mind... which way is that stupid town?"

"Some type of composite steel...there surprisingly light so there may even be some mythril as well.........just head west. Just get fuzzy on board once you finish repairs." He continued as he spoke, completely focused on the task at hand. The barrel for the revolver was way shorter then the gunblade so he would have to replace the barrels, which he would open the lower hatch of weapons and rummage threw them finding a double barrel shotgun. "This will work just fine." He would remove the barrels from the shotgun and toss the rest back in the hatch. He would disassemble the revolver removing the barrels, he was ready to begin cutting. First the handles he would turn on the jig saw bench and perfectly follow the line cutting the handle off the handgun frame, then he proceeded to also cut the handle off the swords, one at a time. Next he would make that first cut threw the length of the blade, going very slowly as to not make a imperfection. He would repeat the second cut the same way, and do it again with the second blade.
It took some time to cut every thing since there were two hand guns, ad two sword but after he finished he took the bottom and top section of each sword, leaving the middle for scrap. He would take them over to the grinder where here would begin to grin a very slight curvature inward to each of the sections of the blade. So far this was incredibly easy because ...well they had to edge there were just fancy looking metal. With curves which would make parring with the barrels much better, he was ready to begin wielding. He was making incredible time with them, yet doing a exceptional job as he did.

River left her room and she spotted Mai still playing. River headed out of the RV collecting anything forgotten then she smiled sheepishly at Fuzzy. "Looks like you get to dry off naturally. We're heading to the next town so hop on k?" once back in River tossed all her stuff in her room smiling sweetly, she would leave it to Gig to secure anything loose, or he'll get hit. Aww too bad. She thought smugly and once more entered the kitchen. "Come on Mai... We're going for another ride." She said and scooped the toddler in her arms taking her to the cockpit. Before Mai could resist River secured Mai in her seat then River peeked out the window "Hang on Fuzzster. Off we go!" She replied and she started the RV. After leaving the town she headed west and wondered what they would find.

Fuzzy regrettably crawled back on top, but before he did he debated staying in this town so they could kill him....that wouldn't be much worse then riding something. He would pause for a few actually debating it, but eventually because of the little one he crawled back on top, for mai. Regardless of how much she tried majority of the power went to the work shop, along time ago her and gig set it where if anything in the workshop was on, then Rv would only operate in low gear, and couldnt go past one fourth of its previous top speed, to prevent injury...or to whom ever was in the shop to prevent imperfections in there work.
Giglamesh would place the lower section of the blade in a vie and set the double barrel atop it. With some measuring he would slightly solder it to keep it in place, at multiple points as well to make sure it was stable. Then he would place the top of the blade op top of the barrel and also measure to make sure it was perfectly straight. Then after a little bit of grinding he would attach the revolver frame to the barrel, and with some eye work solder the handle frame from the blade on to the revolver frame. then after multiple measuring and double, then even triple checks he would make sure he was pleased with its setting thus far. Once he was satisfied he would begin to weld along the edge of the barrel and blade, on top and bottom sections of the blade as well as both sides. He would then weld setting the handle as well. With a wide and incredibly strong bead at every connection point he would get ready to begin grinding.

River sighed as the damn RV went slowly along to their destination and she cranked up her music that cheered up things. River glanced out the window as she drove one handed tapping a finger against the steering wheel. Gah this is going to take forever… River thought as the music switched. She yawned and blinked away the blurriness. Her sleep was still non existent; but on the plus side she was nearly done with that project for Fuzzy. Gig was up late too. Probably out drinking. She thought wrinkling her nose and shook her head. She never understood the fascination in drinking. It tastes bitter, and you end up doing stupid stuff before you pass out feeling sick. She knew this first hand from four years back when she was thirsty and grabbed what she thought was a glass of water at the table Gig had just left, chugging it all before she tasted the odd taste and the warm burn that traveled down her throat. She had snuck in the pub following Giglamesh and had managed to make a mess of troubles. She did not remember much of it; but she was told the whole story; in excruciating detail.
“BROTHER!!!“ a very happy River said and she leapt into the air tackling him as he exited the restroom. A vein twitched as he wondered why she was there when he noticed she was swaying. “I found u! Look! Look what I can do!” She said excited and she waved her hands in the air before she took out a deck of cards from her jacket’s pocket. ”I can do magic too! I…” She started to say and she paused a long moment before she said, ”I forgot how I did it last time.” She admitted and she spotted the music player. ”I love this song! She said and she ran over to dance. Gig made a guess at what happened and he walked over grabbing her. The town they were in had a town’s fountain in the middle of town and just after she was dragged out of the pub by her brother, who was unsure how he could explain things to Rain. For one brief moment his thoughts were distracted and River had decided to jump in the fountain, she had laughed at others as she splashed them. ”It’s better than a swimming pool!” She said happily. Gig sighed picking River up by the back of her belt and started to carry her away from the scene and take her back home. She unhooked her belt and ran off laughing starting an annoying game of hide and seek saying, ”Count to ten first!” Giglamesh had no intention to count so he simply went after her. River suddenly had the braniac idea to find Rain a present that would make her not so mad about River sneaking off so late at night. Gig was mildly surprised to see how quickly River had gotten into trouble when he found her on the roof of a building of all things trying to catch a star. She nearly fell off the roof but was caught by Giglamesh who scolded her. She grew quiet and lowered her head only to upchuck and pass out. When she woke almost 10 hours later and things were explained to her. Rain was beyond furious and River was beyond grounded.
Ever since then she had been uneasy about alcohol, though she still wandered off and got into trouble, at least she was strong enough to take care of herself… most of the time. She saw a valley ahead of them and realized they were close to their destination.

With time short giglamesh had to grind by putting a great deal of force down, yet he would grind it down in one swipe. He ground down all the wields, taking care not to scratch the blades as he did. Then proceeded to grind the edge down so they actually were blades. Once he finished grinding it had a blade to it, but it was so jagged and rough it would be like cutting with a saw. so giglamesh then buffed out all his grinds. He would manage to do this in a impeccable amount of time, for both blades. Finally he would cut the back of the guard open so it could be slid back on, the with a few tig wields locking it in place. Giglamesh would place all the component back in to the revolver, then finally place the stocks back on the handle and rewrap it, exactly like how one wraps a katana tsuka. They were finished......but he was at a problem, normally he used he revolver quick clips...but with the bullets being set the way there were they would not fit. Being a custom handgun there were no quick clips to fit, and single or double bullet reload took to much time.
He didnt really have a option, he would have to stick with single loading bullets, as giglamesh spun the cylinder thinking about how much he of a pain it would be to reload that way. If only giglamesh could pop out the cylinder and toss in a new one....wait. Giglamesh would rapidly stand and begin to rummage around the rivers crap, before opening the door. "River where do you keep the solider pvc pipe!?....never mind i...." in searching threw her things he....found thing he didn't want to see his teen sister to have...dirty thing she shouldn't have at her age...atleast in gigs eyes. The magazine was tossed in the the grinder as he said aloud. "...oops...." The other...he wouldn't even touch and simply pretended it was a Tesla coil. But he would find some other pipe. Then he would measure the actual cylinder of the revolver, and mark it the measured distance as many times as he could. Then using the jig saw he would cut multiple little plastic pieces. Next he would take the pieces to borer and place the real cylinder over the plastic pieces and drill down threw it, keeping close to the insides bullet placers. He would drill nearly down to the end of the plastic but not all the way to give a small lip to hold the bullets in. He would repeat this for the eight bullet holes and the center hole where it slide on. Then after placing some small rubber bands in the ends of where the bullets would be placed, he would try to slide a bullet in. Surprisingly his idea worked perfectly, he had basically made replaceable cylinder for the revolver.
Of course he needed to test it to see if it worked. He would load one in each gunblade, and walk out of river room. He would tug the emergency stop to cut the engine on the rv. "Your probably going to want to come see this...." He took a half empty twelve pack of pop and walked outside....then just started to chuck can in to the distance. Some busted and sprayed pop rolling around some hit soft hand and didnt budge a inch. "....Ok....test one on custom .454 casull gunblade....fire." When he pulled that trigger the duel hammer struck like a beat simultaneously hitting the two over underlay bullets causing the primers to fire at the exact same time. The two bullet ripped threw the air there spin literally caused them to spin around each other, as the struck a can....that moved at such high fps the can was there, then gone, but a huge blast out of the rock behind remained. The blast had enough kick to even make gigs arm jerk back as he fired, it was also just as loud as it was damaging. Giglamesh was even surprised by it. "Hohohohoooooyeah..." This time gig opened up with repetitive fire firing three times from one revolver and four from the other, completely expending fourteen bullet in a loud barrage. Giglamesh would then pop the cylinder out to the respective sides and tilt the gunblades up so the cylinder slid off, then at this point he would slide two more back on real quick like....but two more didnt exist yet....the idea was solid though. "...ahh moments of genius...i think i get them to much heh." He would look to river smirk and head back inside. He would continue making a bunch more of his "revolver clips" as well as loading them with bullets, and loading them on to his combat vest. Then he would set them on the table crossed. He just stare at them for a few minutes before getting a etching blade and carving some japanese kanji in to the sides of the blades. "Hanabira dansa....."
With them finished he would sheath them in to there sheaths on his right and left sides of hip, attached to his belt. He would then walk in to the cockpit just as they pulled up to the town.

Parking the RV River peeked out the window at the crater and raised an eyebrow leaning forward to get a better look at the town as Gig entered the cockpit. She jumped back and bonked her head on the rear view mirror. Tears formed as she held her head swearing. She got out of the chair and left the cockpit saying, ”I’ll wait outside.” She headed to her room a moment grabbing her weapons and belts then headed outside. River was curious to what could make such a large crater. Creeping over to the crater she tried to make out what the town looked like. She had heard things about this place, yet knew so little. As she reached a foot from the edge she only had to look down at a slight angle to see the town, but all she could see were the backs of buildings and a dirt trail leading down. She took a few more steps to get a closer look, intrigued by the fact this town really was at the bottom of a crater. She didn’t see any large buildings, in fact the town really seemed smaller than she had first thought, if that were even possible. From up where she was; there were so many tiny houses it seemed ant sized. No shops that she could spot, nothing but silly houses all looking the same and a few other places which held no interest to her. What she noticed right away was the eerie silence. She kept her right hand in her gun blade Nigt but she stayed where she was proving to herself she was unafraid.

With equal silence of the town, gig appeared behind river also looking at the town, he would reach his hand out...probably trying to make her jump, and put his right hand on her right shoulder. "Do not advance without me. focus yourself while i do final preparations." Giglamesh went back in to the Rv and scooped up mai as she was walking out from the c**k pit, after unbuckling herself. He did not want her to see the eerie town, so he picked her up from under her arms and circled around spinning her. As she giggled, giglamesh spoke to her. "Guess what ..its movie time!" Maiyuri became over ecstatic kicking her feet and flailing her arms in cheer. Giglamesh took her in her room and out the movie in, and started it. He waited for the first few minutes to past...yet he would no look at the screen for anything, he kept his head turned. It only took that five minutes for mai to literally fall over asleep. It was because giglamesh enchanted the movie with the "sleep" spell. He turned it off with out looking at the screen. He would then pick up mai and put her in the bed better putting the blanket on her and tucking her in good. Giglamesh would look at her while she slept for a few minutes, almost as if he was about to cry. He hated to do this, but if she was asleep it was easier to know she was safe, and made it easier to focus on the mission. On top of it increased his resolve so dramatically by giving him a reason to come back. "Good night my princess, till i wake you from your slumber, nor the burning hot hand of the sun, nor icy cold grasp of night, shall keep me from your waking side....i will return to your side my little Hanna." He would kiss her on the forehead and hold it for the moment, stand looking at her contently for a moment before turning and leaving the room. Then he would also step out of the rv, with its remote in hand.
He would hop up on the roof. He would grab fuzzy by his armor and drag him closer to the center of the rv, he was still dazed and swirly eyed from the car ride. "SNAP OUT OF IT! ..." He would wait for him to come to attention. As he did he would kneel in front of him. "I dont ask you for much but this i will....If any threats come i want you to put your very life on the line to protect this rv and its contents understand? I need your help on this, this is all i can ask of you ...be a shield. Do not leave this roof though....the Trains defense's will take care of itself....if something is to attack from the sky, or the trains defenses are over whelmed please take care of it." Fuzzy wouldn't have to say anything he agreed and simply nodded in agreeing in his terms. Giglamesh would pet his huge mohawked skull between the horns, and despite him being a massive two hundred yeah old behemoth king....he acted more like a domesticated dog that would close its eye from pleasure as it was petted. He would then grab and put on his large casket backpack. Then giglamesh would stop and hop off the rv walking back to river. He would activate the Rv controls, which was a holographic screen he used to deactivate the roofs defenses. Any weapons that came out of the top, or aimed upwards giglamesh would turn off so they would not attack him. Then he would shut off the controls return it to his pocket and while standing next to river. "I know you have heard it...."It quiet...to quiet." ...but this silence....its creeping even me out,.....have you noticed we are the only life for a few miles? ...Anyways lets head on in." With that giglamesh took the first step in to the crater, the first bit was the steepest and enough to force there walk to increase in speed, but not enough to make them slide or loose balance. He was ready...but he would not go on full guard till they got to the actual fog as it seemed to only be around the town.

River was near the edge of the crater when Gig appeared touching her shoulder causing her to jump; only slightly. She scowled hating how afraid she was. "I have no intention in the slightest to go down there first." She replied and she cleared her throat watching Gig head back to the RV to take care of Mai. River just waited while telling herself to calm down and to stay focused. She then hopped from foot to foot to stretch out as she was psyching herself up making herself push away that stupid fear. The earth kept screaming et her. Being sensitive to the earth's call River knew something was very wrong with this town. Something big enough to worry mother earth. Gig returned and as he spoke she realized he really was uneasy about this. This did not bode well... She thought and she gave a nod knowing her voice would crack if she spoke. AS they walked closer to the town it struck her how simple this town really was. Aside from the fact there were no lifeforms in sight, it seemed peaceful by looks alone. She cleared her throat and asked quietly, "What do you think happened here? What could possibly prevent over 1000 people from seeking help?"
