Knives

Vash turned to the doorway and saw a man about his height and build standing there. The light behind him, as well as Vash's own fading consciousness, obscured his vision. The man calmly reloaded his....big revolver? No, it wasn't....

".....stop...don't kill them..."

But his pleas fell on deaf ears. The two human-size men both caught bullets in the forehead, dropping them limply onto the floor. The giant stared at his dead comrades, then back at he shooter. He backed away, too scared even to aim his gun at him. Two bullets went into the giant's heart and one into each eye. He groaned and fell down dead. Vash reached for the man.

".....Knives.....why....."

"To save your life, brother."

Vash's face fell into the puddle of blood, and everything went black.
