As sun was setting on this day, Ben, the newly minted King Neon Dealer (after Local Hero was promoted to Regional Hero) walks into an alley and begins examining his product.
Shortly after, Kelly, a Genetic Scientist for the local GWF Corp. walks into the same alley. There, he meets with Ben.
"Alright, I'm here. What do you want. You know I can't buy from you! It could cost me my job!", he exclaimed.
"What? You called me, you mushroom head!" Ben retorted.
The two bicker for what feels like hours, but in reality, it was mere seconds. Something about one's mother being a MILF and the other saying something about buying a manor and disco dancing and who was hotter, Kelle or Rebecca. Sense was not being made. Suddenly, out of the shadows steps... a shadow.
"It was I that called you both here..." It was Vash! A former ganger turned informant for the powers at GWF Corp. He once worked in the same syndicate as Ben and Kelly and then began informing for Kelly when he was turned when he met Kelle and Rebecca. It was under these pretenses he brought them here.
"I couldn't stand it anymore. Love took hold of my heart and soul and I could no longer bring myself to kill any more! I brought us here because we used to be friends once. We must return to that! I've made us all a lamb chop dinner to reunite!" He pleaded his case to them for peace.
Quizzical and uneasy looks filled both Ben and Kelly. Could they trust Vash? He was burned them once before. But the sincerity was real. He wanted to be a pacifist.
It was Ben that let his guard down first.
"Ok, Vash. I'm at least willing to listen. I love lamb chops," Ben insisted.
"You had me at MILF Manor," said Kelly.
Ben and Kelly shake hands and enjoy a bromance hug, tears filling both men's eyes. They were happy to be friends again with no more pointless squabbling. The happiness didn't allow them to notice Vash slip out the alley, though.
"Where'd Vash go?" they asked almost simultaneously.
From around the corner stands Vash, a stoic look on his face.
"It's Disco Mommy. It's always been, Disco Mommy." says Vash as he uses his cyberware to finish it.
The explosion is loud. Car and building windows shatter from the shockwaves.
