	Alucard attempted to keep pace with Knives. He felt himself getting close and closer despite his attacks not making any contact. "Oh I see!" Alucard shot back as he doubled down on his speed. He noticed as two bullets hit Knives, but it was the fifth the worried him. He ended up dodging and his eyes were focused not behing Alucard. Undoubtly to Jonas. "Oh now so fast, you're mine!" Alucard yelled as he doubled his assault on the plant focusing on his speed now trying to keep his attention on himself.

    Knives used his supreme quickness and dexterity to move with and around Alucard's attempts at a melee assault, his twisted smile growing with each movement, he was feeling as alive as he had felt since the day he killed the entire crew of the SEEDS ship where he had been born along side Vash. Everything was coming together, and ecstatic joy was flowing like electric current through his veins.
   ” Brother, please can't YOU SEE!? ” Knives seemed to beg of ALucard, pushing his mind outward again towards his fellow plant, trying to seize him. ” Together all of it, everything, the entire univer— ” He was glowing, his speech booming when his senses kicked in, he saw the first few shots, two of them striking his now inhuman form, but it was the 5th shot, he had seen it exit the gun in a flare of light, and knew, by instinct he had to move. With speed unmatched he slide to the side and watched the wouldbe fatal shot slide past, he face changed, the grin turned sour, and now he only saw Jonas.   —

    Things were moving fast and Jonas was having trouble processing the speed of movement around him. Alucard and Knives had closed in tight to each other and seemed to be trading blows. His eyes shot over to Vash, who still stood motionless, his eyes wide in a way that Jonas had never seen them before, like he was struggling and doing all he could just to stand there.
   ” This, this is about as bad as things can get. ” Jonas was saying to himself as he started to move, his mind already made up. ” I have to snap him out of it, and I have to give them a chance, or we're all dead. ” Jonas finished as his Grader's were brought up to sight, all while he moved as quickly as possible towards Vash, beginning to squeeze the triggers when Alucard moved away before finally running full speed into the motionless Humanoid Typhoon sending him flailing out in a almost slow-motion fall to the metallic floor.   —

	Alucard braced himself as the Knives' knives came forward towards him, hitting the vest he wore under his clothes then clattered to the ground. The force of the blades causing an audible grunt as the force hit him. "Oh, we aren't the ones that choose death!" Alucard rushed right towards knives as he tighted his grip with both blades and swung with all his force.

    The quickness of Knives' reaction as he slid to his right was blistering. He whipped his left arm out from under the cover of the shroud and like a torrent of the macabre his arm seemed to begin to spill out of his body with razor sharp blades and the grotesque remains of the Plant that he had been fusing with. The smirk that had formed on his face twisted into a psychotic, twisted, grin and his eyes blazed with madness. The blades tore out towards Alucard jabbing their fine points towards his body.
   ” Death it is brother! DEATH IT IS! ” Knives cackled with excitement.   —

	Bang! The bullets rang out around Alucard and further snapped him from Knives' control. Alucard could tell by the look in his eyes that words wouldn't do anything. Instantly, Alucard jumped over the console between him and Knives and tighted his grip on his katars. "We won't let you leave here!" Alucard yelled as he attempted to drive both of his katars into Knives body.

    Things seemed to be getting out of hand, or at least that's how Jonas perceived it. When the elevator had reached the top and the cloaked figure emerged, he instantly knew, his combat senses wired from years of gunfights and less than good situations, told him that everything had just gone to shit. That this guy—this monster—was different. He was having a hard time following the subtext of this things speech, but he knew there was more being said than actually being said. Seeing how Vash—the VASH—seemed frightened, needless to mention how Alucard was reacting. It was bad.
   ” Well shit, these guys, they seemed weird... I have to snap them out of it. ” Jonas was talking low, to himself as he often did when things got really bad, trying to pump himself up, knowing what he had to do, even though he knew it couldn't turn out good for him. ” Hey Asshole! Nobody here wants to hear there nonsense from you, whatever it is you're doing, fuck that! ” Jonas suddenly burst out, pulling up his twin Graders as he started to move to his left towards cover from the tall mechanical pilons, squeezing the triggers and firing off as manyt rounds as he could as he moved.   —

	The seconds felt like minutes as Alucard looked into Knives' eyes. His words seemed to echo in his head. Clawing their way deeper and deeper into his mind. His hands fully releasing from his katars as he thought of all the awful things the humans of Gunsmoke have done since settling on the planet. The atrocities they had done to each other and had tried to do to him. This planet would be....Alucard began to think as he felt the cold steel of his katars against his skin. The cold metal pulled Alucard back from his Knives words as he looked back at Jonas. The two had fought side by side many of times. Sure, it was generally bad human, but we were protecting good humans as well. "Jonas here is far more of my brother than you are." Alucard growled as he gripped his katars tightly, "And those two over there...well they seem pretty good. Just trying to protect by while doing their job." Alucard picking up his right hand and pointed his katar towards Knives, "Humans may be flawed, but most are just trying to get by. I may not know you well, but I only see one vermin here."

    Knives' eyes were strong and hypnotic, full of rage and malice but restrained, alight with passion. The wind continued to tear at his wrappings as he stood steadfast, those eyes flickering back and forth between Vash and Alucard as a silence grew between all of them on the platform.
   ” Finally fate—or perhaps just my guidance—has brought us all together. ” The smirk was still twisting it's way across his face wickedly as he spoke. ” Because today is a great day, it's the day that you join me and we rid this God forsaken planet of the vermin of humanity. ” He continued as his left hand again came out from under thr shroud, beckoning to Vash and Alucard. ” You can start with those rats here among us, brothers. ” Knives finished, laughing to himself in a low vengeful way.   —

    Vash had already known long before that he was here, that he was somewhere deep inside the maze like interior of the reactor complex, but Legato's schemes had pulled him away led him upwards to the maintenance platform as they had the others, it was all planned and brilliantly choreographed by his... their brother. Vash watched the high winds whipping Knives shroud violently, a perfect representation of his being.
   ” I— I'm afraid so. ” Vash replied to Alucard, his voice low and full of concern. It was clear that Knives had the upper hand, there was something different about him and Vash thought he knew exactly what it was, the worry showed on his face as Vash stood, his weapon held at his side, knowing and ultimatium was coming.     —

	Alucard looked over the console as he heard footsteps coming off the elevator. As if in a trance, Alucard stood up from behind the console, his katars still out from below his sleeves. His hands loosened his grip as a feeling of the futility of them as he stood before the....man? Alucard could feel aura off the man that he had never truly felt before. The anger and hatred that flowed off him was mingled with a feeling from the Plant from the reactor. "Brothers?" Alucard seemed stunned as the tried to understand his words. He looked towards Vash, "Is...he?" Alucard turned mid sentence towards Knives and ended his question on him.

    There was a rhythmic click of cogs and gears as the elevator was pulled upwards towards the maintenance platform. Above the dual suns of Gunsmoke had shifted across the sky towards the horizon throwing sharp shadows across the elevator bay as the sounds came to a squeaking halt. For a moment the figure remained silent and eerily motionless, covered not just by the penumbra of the towering SEEDS ship debris that was the reactor spires but also shrouded in a khaki caped hood. The howl of the winds ushered in his movement, a calm deliberate walk through the now open bars out slowly towards the center of the platform into the sun. The figure exuded a powerful aura, something unnatural and terrifying. He stopped a few meters short of the center console, just past the first two mechanic structures they had not long ago being using for cover. He raised his left arm, out from under the shroud revealing a white gloved hand that moved towards his hood pulling it down to reveal the smirking face of Millions Knives.
   ” Good, we're all here. Vash, and you… Alucard I believe they say your name is. ” There was a cadence about his speech, it was as evil and unsettling as his movements and presence. ” Brothers. ” He said and twisted a crooked smile.   —

	"Hide?" Alucard muttered to himself confused. He looked behind them to the ARK and back towards the elevator. Legato has fallen out of sight and the pressing danger appeared to be whatever was riding on that elevator. Alucard stood up and moved down the stairs towards the console in front of the elevator. As he did so, a feeling washed over him and judging by the way Vash was acting he must have felt it too. It was coming up that elevator and they had no where to go. Alucard crouched behind the console as he gripped his katars tightly. Their cold metal having a grounding effect on him as he realized he had felt something similar to this before. It was at the reactor, but this time it felt...different...worse.

    Jonas felt like he was in the dark, he listened to Vash's words, followed his eyes to the girls who instantly started moving, covering themselves from the elevator bay. He followed them to Legato and saw the last glimpses as the man in the white coat faded into the darkness of the ARK. He looked at Alucard and then back to Vash, he knew things had gone from bad to worse, but didn't understand how or why.
   ” So… I'm.. I'm staying right here. ” Jonas mumbled, feeling the weight of the Grader's in his hand as he waited and listened as the motor for the elevator had started again, clicking and clanking along as it pulled the platform upwards from somewhere in the depths of the Augusta reactor.   —

    Vash seemed locked in place, completely letting Alucard's call to him fall to the side, his eyes locked on that elevator. He seemed statuesque, as if he could sense something. He didn't acknowledge the others, not even the girls who now seemed fixated on him as well, like they had seen this look before.
   ” That's it. How did I miss it?! ” Vash said his, voice breaking near the end of his comment. ” Please everyone, take cover... HIDE! ” Vash's voice grew to a shout as he eyed the girls and then Jonas before finally settling on Alcuard, seeing the full picture now, understanding what the end goal was and feeling trapped, unable to stop it. He took a quick look back at the ARK, at Legato who had started to slowly fade more and more into the shadows of the interior of the ship behind him, then moved out into the center of the platform, waiting for the elevator to begin to rise.     —
