p. 213
Doctor: .....He's coming....!!
p. 214
Milly: Wha- wha- wha- wha- wha- wha- wha-
Merril: Va- Va- Va- Va- Va- Va- Va-
Vash: Is it...you...? Are you coming...?
p. 215
Vash: Knives.
p. 218
Vash: KNIVES!!
p. 219
Merril: Vash-san! You can't, not in your condition!! You're so exhausted you can barely stand!
Milly: Sempai! There's a huge panic going on outside!!
Vash: Get out of here now...!! It doesn't matter where, just get as far away from here as possible!
Merril: Didn't I say not to move?! Can't you hear me?!...
Vash: Do as I say!! Who's the one who can't hear!!
*slap*
p. 220
Merril: (Merril starts crying loudly) U, ueeeeee~~~~~~
Milly: Ah! You made her cry........
Vash: ....... Meryl, and Milly too! Listen very carefully!! There's a person coming now who's so dangerous that he can't even be compared to anyone I've come up against in the past. In a worst case scenario, I don't know what may happen when I fight him..... But probably, I'll fight him once......and then see only the "result"!!
p. 221
Vash: It was all a blank in the distance... With my memory completely lost, the person I am now was thrown out onto that landscape...
Merril: ...July? Lost...July?!
Vash: (looking back as he opens the door)You understand now, don't you? Now get out of here.
p. 222
Vash: Escape far enough to a place where, even if this place gets blown away, you will be safe.
Merril: I let him...go..... Why...? Maybe I was caught off guard. Because it was the first time he called me by my name.
p. 223
(Vash walks through the people trying to get out of town.)
Person: Hurry! We'll get caught up in the crowd!
Person: Why did this happen to us?
Person: Don't worry about your belongings, hurry up and come on!
Person: There's no wagon that'll carry this many people!
Baby: Waaaaaaaahhhh!!
Person: Wait!
Person: Keep hold of my hand or we'll get separated!
p. 225
(Vash makes it out of town and stands at the foot of a hill. Knives and Legato are at the top. Minor bosses surround Vash.)
Legato: KILL HIM!
p. 226
*squish*
(Legato collapses like so much Playdoh with one squash of Knives's hand.)
p. 227
Knives: Who said it was okay to kill him...!! You garbage....
p. 228
Vash: (pointing his gun at Knives) KNIVES!!
p. 230
Knives: ..........!! What is that... What is that called... What?! You're...still... You're pointing that thing at me again?!
p. 231
Vash: You haven't changed one bit...!! You're the same as you were 150 years ago...!!
Knives: The same goes for you. Vaaaaaash!!
Wolfwood: (standing on top of a nearby hill) What is with these two? ...This feeling... Are they really not human...?
p. 232
Knives: (staring at Vash, his expression suddenly softens)...Your scars, you've gotten more scars, haven't you? How come you never learn anything from them?
Vash: They're fewer than the number of people you've killed and wounded. Compared to the sins a calamity like you have committed, they're not many at all.
p. 233
Knives: And that's why you'll try to take me out with that right arm?
Vash: ?
Knives: Do you know how to use your "artificial arm"?
Vash: .....?
Knives: ...I see. It blocked your memory. But it would be even more strange if that much of a burden didn't leave any aftereffects. ...That arm...wasn't meant for the purpose of manipulating that clumsy gun.
p. 234
Knives: (walking down the hill)This is how you use it.
Doctor: .....! Wait! Knives!
Vash: (noticing the doctor) Who is he? ...I've seen that man before. Wait wait wait... Wait!! Something....something's trying to come to the surface!! Something....incredibly....something horrifying is.....
p. 235
Knives: (leaning towards Vash) Hey, Vash. Just a few moments ago, you called me a calamity, didn't you? I guess from the point of view of the human species, that may be true. But...if you say that, then you are one too...!! (Knives places his hand over Vash's face)
p. 236
(Vash's right arm starts to bulge and transform.)
p. 240
Doctor: .....!! Oh no!! Escape!! Everyone get away!!
Knives: (holding Vash from behind)How is it!! How does it feel, Vash?! This is your power... This is our true power! That's right..... This is the power that destroyed July!
p. 241
(Vash looks to be in extreme agony. Tears are coursing down his cheeks.)
Knives: ..... I'll make you change your mind. Gather your power! Mow down the earth and the worthless human species with this gun. Destroy them all, Vash!
p. 242
(Just as the gun (cannon?) is about to fire, Vash rips his original arm out of it.)
Knives: Wha...?! You... you can't...
p. 243
(Vash points his gun at his leg and shoots himself. He starts firing randomly at the ground, hitting Knives and himself.)
p. 244
Vash: (floating in the air) Lem.....Lem.......
p. 245
Vash: I, we, maybe we should never have been born.
p. 246
(Pointing directly upwards, the gun fires. The effect of the blast rips up all the ground for miles. A bolt of light rockets through the sky, and moments later, there is a huge explosion on the moon.)
p. 248
Milly: (screaming) Sempai!!
p. 249
Milly?: The moon....
p. 250
Wolfwood: ......This is some kind of joke. What the hell are they...!! ....Those bodies...that power...!! Are you trying to say that you're messengers from God meant to pass judgement on us...?! .....Answer me!! Vash the Stampede!!
p. 252
Another legend was etched into the planet.
p. 253
(At the site of Knives and Vash's confrontation.)
People stood close together. If they didn't, it felt as if they would be crushed by the "ruins". Someone whispered, "The devil does exist." Those words became a small wave, and will surely spread across the entire planet.
p. 254
The gentle grim reaper in whose body a calamity was stored--the death scythe in his hand will someday surely mow us all down.
p. 255
His whereabouts unknown, Vash the Stampede's footprints will be erased from history for the next two years.
TURN TO THE MAXIMUM!!
