When the ship landed and all passengers liberated and the terrorists were taken into custody, our heroes meet. Satoshi was collecting the bounty on the terrorists, which was five million out the machine.

"Thank you." Then he turned around.

"Hi!"

"Huh? What do you want?"

"My share."

"Right here?"

"Yes I need it now!" She handed him her card, he swiped it in a machine that took money directly from his bank account, giving her and third. Which was about 1,866,666.

"That's all you're gonna get."

"I know but it's probably going to go into parts for my ship. Sheesh…artillery, paint, armor, shields the works."

"Actually I've got to the same, because of the last battle I was in with the Team Dragon Rocket X. They always give me trouble. By the way what's your name?"

"Well, it's really Hi-Shashu, but everyone knows me as Hi-Sha. What's yours?"

"Just call me Satoshi."

"Ya know, I'm hungry. The food on the airplane was nasty. Are there any good places to eat? Especially Chinese and Japanese!"

"Follow my lead." The two came across a Chinese and Japanese buffet, which was a gold mine to them. After eating one hundred sushi pieces, thirty bowls of various kinds of soups, noodles, fried and white rice, three buckets of oysters, ten crabs, fifty chicken wings, twenty crab ragoons, and for dessert, twenty rice balls with sweetened plums inside, and ice cream sandwiches. (Gotta' love them all!)

"Damn, that was good."

"Wasn't the best but, it filled me up."

"My thoughts exactly." Well, just then Shigeru (Gary, the pompous idiot…) and two of his cronies walk in.

"Shigeru? Damn it! Not you…again! But, you know I might just give up the ten million bounty and kick your sorry @$$!" He pulled out his sword dashing forward at unbelievable speeds slashing in every direction. Then appeared behind Shigeru keeling sheathing his sword too. Out of all that, his two bodyguards were on the floor in neat pieces with their blood splashing on the floor. Everyone tried not getting the mortal red fluid on his or her boots but it was no use. "Don't worry Shigeru, that won't be your fate. I have something more suitable and personal in mind for us. A duel!" Hi-Sha nearly or she dropped her Martini glass on the floor, and rushed towards him, and went into his arms.

"Satoshi what are you doing?" She whined, as tears welled in her eyes. He never imaged she'd have feelings for him. However, still, he was an Outlaw and a Bounty Hunter, and it to die with honor, than live in shame better.

"What time then?"

"How bout' when that clock on the wall, strikes twelve…"

"But, that's midnight! That's in only…five minutes! Are you nuts!"

"The best way to test our skills…Don't tell me…heh, heh…you're afraid of the dark?"

"Shut the hell up!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk…Well, I'll meet you outside..." 'It was a cold night and it was a 'blue moon' was full…Perfect…Perfect night for me to die. With nothing to lose. Literally. As the minute hand move ever closer to midnight, I wondered, will I ever see a blue moon again…Probably not…I prayed to God once more that he would give me the strength to pull though this like so many times he had before hand. Finally, the two minutes of darkness came…Starting with words…

"Are you ready to die?" Shigeru said before

"Let's finish this once and for all."

"Ok when I say go, draw your weapons and fire, and the last person breathing and conscious, wins. Got it?" In addition, as fate would be it Hi-Sha is the coach of the duel, adding pressure

"Yeah sure."

"Go!" Bullets went through both bodies. The impact sending Satoshi to the ground, yet Shigeru was standing.

"Hahahahaha! Looks like you're finished. I won!" Satoshi slowly sat up holding his left shoulder, the blood seeping though his fingers.

"Shigeru before I go, I think you should have a 'heart to heart' chat with yourself." It was the shot to the heart, to the left ventricle to be exact, which killed him, and a couple too many shots of whiskey. Hi-Sha ran to his side.

"Are you okay…?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Great, he had to shoot my writing arm…" The two walked for a while talking about their lives and the many great things they did in the past for others. Then, they came across a bar, again, walked inside drank a bit and started a conversation, but this time it would be a very long one, and is the main plot of the story.

"So, Satoshi you never told me if you had any friends or relatives."

"I haven't any…"

"That's impossible. Everyone had or has a family, or friends."

"Alright I did have both, but they're both gone now. Why does it matter! It's too painful for me to go back…" He cried, now near sobbing.

"Why don't you tell me?"

"Fine I'll tell you…"
