Vash meets up with Legato Bluesummers, a man with an eating addiction per every episode he appears in and a telepath. He warns Vash that his death is coming soon. As he questions Legato's threat, the shoe maker in town is killed by an unknown assailant which gets Vash framed for the crime and put in jail. As Milly and Meryl meet with him with a slight look at Vash's eyes glowing blue, Monev the Gale, the first of the Gung Ho Guns, attacks the jail in an attempt to kill Vash. Vash manages to free himself from jail and attempts to take his battle out of town by scaring the citizens of the town indoors while being chased. When Monev realizes this, he goes on a shooting rampage killing off most of the citizens in the town assuming he killed Vash in his rampage. However, an enraged Vash appears standing and unscathed. Monev grows scared of Vash as his glowing blue eyes resembled the Diablo (devil.) Monev flees and attempts to make a sneak attack on Vash who he thinks will be using the safe door of a bank as a shield. Instead, Vash uses the door to wreck Monev's weaponery. Vash fires the last of his pistol shots to hack open Monev's face armor. Monev assumes that Vash has no more gunpower, but Vash fires a shot from a gun hidden in his arm. As Monev falls to the ground, Vash points his gun at Monev's head as he seems determined to kill Monev for all the people he killed. He begs Vash to spare his life as Vash questions why he should spare Monev. Vash then has a flashback of Rem as she reminds Vash that all people don't deserve to lose their lives. Vash releases the gun from Monev's head and proclaims that if he had killed Monev, then he would have lost Rem forever.
