TRIGUN STAMPEDE

A space colony...? Emigrants...?

That's right, Vash.

We left Earth two hundred years ago in search of a new home.

Like a Western... Life on the frontier!

Huh?

Where cowboys stand up for their friends and beat the bad guys!

Bang, bang!

I don't like that stuff.

Look, you two.

Project Seeds means hope, a future for humanity and plants.

How come we're the only ones who can live outside the casings?

Here's what I think.

Maybe you two are gifts sent by God

to act as a bridge between humans and plants.

Like angels.

I wonder if we can get along with humans.

Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you.

Always.

We the Independents will bring a new order to this world.

It's the birth of a new world!

This is a Satellite News Flash from November Public Broadcasting!

The unknown object that suddenly appeared in central JuLai

is continuing to grow at an astounding pace!

It's the end of the world.

Knives has gone to the other side of the gate.

The other side of the gate?

A realm in the higher dimension that we cannot possibly fathom.

There, he will connect directly with the plant core.

He will artificially impregnate all of the plants and create new Independents,

similar to how he and Vash were born.

Then he will wipe out humanity and create a new world.

Are you saying he's going to kill us if this goes on?

Wake up, Vash!

I already told you that he's no longer the Vash the Stampede you knew.

Accept it.

The gate is already open, with Vash as the hub.

The only way to close it now would be to destroy the gate itself.

In other words, to kill Vash.

That can't be...

I made it.

I can feel it!

This is the power that was inside you all this time.

Now, let us begin!

This is JuLai requesting backup from the Alliance of Cities!

What's going on?!

There's no end to it!

You're not going to run?

At this rate, the twins will take the whole planet.

It's not every day I get to see you flustered.

Things not going to plan?

It's really too bad. If you had a network of your own,

you could've made death obsolete.

Humans aren't like Worms.

And I reckon this'll be the end of you.

For cryin' out loud.

The only one who can stop Millions Knives is...

He has been reborn.

As a plant.

Human words mean nothing to him anymore.

But what is he trying to start?

You must run! It'll swallow you up!

Don't you give up now!

You're the only one who can stop Millions Knives!

Come on... Vash!

I know you can hear me, Vash!

She doesn't know when to quit.

Pathetic.

A parasite feeding off our brethren.

This power belongs to us.

I won't let any human have it!

Vash!

Vash!

What's that song?

It just comes to me.

It calms me down when I'm nervous.

I feel like I know it from long ago.

Hm...

Say, Nai, do you think we can get along with humans?

Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you.

Vash.

Vash...

I will protect you.

No...

No! You're not the one who said that!

The person who said that to me is...

Vash.

You'll be so much happier if you stay here.

Don't go. Don't go!

Vash! Stop!

Vash... Vash...

Vash...

Vash.

Vash.

Wait!

Please wait!

Rem!

I'm sorry I left you all alone.

But I'm glad to know I've lived on inside you all this time.

Thank you for protecting my dreams and my hopes...

Vash.

Vash? Vash...

Vash!

What?

The power...

It's flowing in reverse!

I was rejected!

What's going on, Doctor?!

The gate is closing...

The energy from the higher plane is converging.

Vash...

So you think you've outplayed me?

Pathetic human!

Thank you, Meryl.

I heard your voice, too.

He's controlling that huge mass by himself?

Vash...

Vash...

Nai.

Your plan has failed.

Now let's end this.

It's not over.

I won't let it be!

Give that to me!

Vash!

Take me there again!

Back to the higher dimension!

It didn't converge?

He refined it on a molecular level?

He broke it into countless particles, smaller than air, and crystallized it...

But that won't last long!

I need to get this someplace far away right now!

Do you know what that is, Vash?!

Vash!

Wait!

U-Undertaker!

I'm just here to pay up for the cigarettes.

Whoa!

What kind of idiot challenges Millions Knives like that?

He's way out of our league.

Time to skedaddle!

Do you see now?

Our powers are on a whole different level.

You think those puny humans could ever accept that?!

They'll never allow those who threaten them to survive!

You can bet they'll hunt us down in a frenzy!

Ugh...

Give it to me!

There he is! It's the Humanoid Typhoon!
