Summary
Wolfwood names off the remaining names of the 3 Gung-Ho-Guns, and demands to know the identity of Hoppered's. He, however, refuses to answer and notes that in the past he ceased to be human and became a bullet. Hoppered then charges at Vash, creating a trail of destruction and rubble behind him. The attack causes a water tank to collapse and break open, making Wolfwood separate from Vash and Milly. Regaining his footing, Midvalley unleashes a tune from his saxophone called Ultra Shock Sonic Web that incapacitates Wolfwood.

Emerging from the rubble, Milly heads toward Vash, but he warns her to run. Hoppered then appears before Vash and introduces himself as the 6th Gung-Ho-Gun. He then places his coin piece in front of Vash and says he can take it if he manages to defeat him. Milly, who watches the scene play out is paralyzed with fear and Vash refuses to take the coin as he only intends to get Meryl back. So, Hoppered decides to aim for Milly.

Elsewhere, Wolfwood gets up and fires his cross gun at Midvalley, while Vash fires his gun at Hoppered. The ensuing chaos causes a disturbance in the surrounding area waking up the local resident from their sleep. Meryl still locked up in a cage with Zazie acting as her jailer notes the fight has already began. It's noted by Zazie that Knives' plan is contrary on how he usually acts and how he's related to Vash. Astonished by this, Meryl demands validation that Vash has a brother. Zazie confirms it and agrees to disclose the entire story between the two to her.
