Chapter 147 - Chapter 149 (1/2)
Vash landed gracefully on one of the smaller houses in the centre of town. His gaze scanned the people walking down on the big main street that stretched through the entire city. He was still smiling, and that smile only grew larger when he laid eyes on his targets.
”Found you” He whispered as he watched the people in masks walking down on the street. Their masks were pure white with a tiny yellow sun above the right eye. They had an aura of supremacy around them, and that coupled with their tall heights was the reason why the people on the streets were avoiding them.
Toshiro and Lubbock appeared like two ghosts beside Vash. Lubbock was smiling similar to Vash, and he was also longing for a good fight. Toshiro, on the other hand, felt no excitement toward the actual fighting. His life's goal was to destroy the World Government, so every time he could mess something up for them he would do it without question.
”You guys ready?” Vash asked and looked at the two brothers. And they both nodded with determination and confidence.
”Okay then” Vash made a grabbing motion with his hand and his gun appeared from thin air. He aimed it at the group with the sun masks on them. And after taking aim, Vash pulled the trigger and shot the bullet that served as the signal to start the fighting. A pure silver bullet left the barrel of the gun and travelled in under a second the distance between the two groups. Down among the masked individuals, one of them looked up and followed it by covering his entire arm in haki. He then quickly used that same arm to block the bullet. And all of this happened in less than a second.
The government agent that blocked Vash's bullet was forced to take two steps back after being hit. ”You okay?” Another one of the agents asked with little emotion in his voice.
”Yeah! A simple miscalculation of the force behind the bullet. It won't happen again.” The male agent said to the female agent that asked him.
”Three of them. The Traitor, The slaughterer, and the gun maniac. Target is nowhere in sight.” Said another one of the agents while staring at the three commanders. He slowly placed his hand over the golden sheath hanging by his waist.
”Where is your captain, Vash?” The agent with the golden sheath asked.
”Cap'n doesn't wanna see you guys right now, so you are gonna have to make do with us,” Vash said and smiled brightly.
The agent's eyes narrowed slightly and he gripped his sword firmly, ”I see” He said and drew his sword with a speed few would be able to follow. An almost visible slash shot out from the sword and sliced the house they stood on in half. Vash, Toshiro, and Lubbock jumped away just in time to avoid the vertical slash that the agent sent out to cut the house with.
The three of them landed around the agents with Vash now standing faced with two of them and the same for Toshiro. Lubbock on the other hand only had one opponent. The civilians in the area had already escaped far away so the street was completely empty except the agents and the commanders.
”Your captain made a big mistake showing himself here. This is the day when the Gotei gets to experience the might of the Light unit. So say your silent goodbyes to your crew because you will never see any of them again.” Once again the golden sword left the sheath of its master and another flying sword slash attacked Vash head-on. Vash jumped slightly to the side to avoid the attack and at the same time, he fired two bullets from his gun. One aimed at the wielder of the golden sword and the other aimed at the agent standing next to him.
By the time the sword slash passed Vash, the two agents had both dodged the bullets. The slash cut apart the house behind Vash, and he looked back and whistled in amusement.
