Summary
Vash lays on the ground disabled from Hoppered's attacks as the Gung-Ho-Gun reinforces he'll make Vash remember what he did in July. In his mind, Vash recalls how tens of thousands of lives were lost in July and Vash was the sole cause of it. Face to face with Vash, Hoppered asks him if he hears the screams of the lives he's wasted. Jokingly, Vash claims he does as he's best friends with the Grim Reaper. Hoppered then slams his fist into Vash's face and taunts him again. Begrudgingly, Vash claims he'll allow Hoppered to have his way with him, if he can settle things with Knives. Unamused by Vash's claim, Hoppered claims he'll dispose of the "Hostage" and propels himself in the air to her location.

Meanwhile, at Wolfwood and Milly's location. Wolfwood knocks out Milly to stop her from getting involved in the upcoming battle. Elsewhere, Hoppered regroups with Midvalley ready themselves for their counter-attack.

On an airship, a woman contacts Knives and notes that the Gung-Ho-Guns have diminished in numbers as of late. She, however, reassures Knives that she'll take care of the problem herself.
