They lead the small and ineffective baseball team to the Koshien tournament, when tragedy strikes -- Nicholas suffers from an incurable illness. Their wish comes true and Stampede is now on the pitcher's mound at Koshien. But without his partner Nicholas, he is not at his best, and the situation is looking dire. At the end of the 9th inning, no outs and bases full, the next batter up is the cleanup hitter Millions, Stampede's enemy. As Stampede bites his lips, out of nowehere the Black Cat, which escaped from the hospital, appears in front of him... To be continued.

[*A unit consisting of a pitcher and a catcher]

A near-future cyber-gun action drama, a refreshing and youthful portrayal of Stampede and his friends.

Three additional scenes from this story, illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow, are printed in the booklet as well:

  • The first shows Vash, Wolfwood, Meryl, Milly, and Brad celebrating the Trigun High School baseball team's victory at Koshien while Gofsef Nebraska cries.
  • The second shows Meryl, Milly, Vash, and Wolfwood (all clad in school uniforms) talking and laughing together while Knives and Legato (clad in different school uniforms) spy on them from behind a tree.
  • The third shows Vash and Wolfwood, both looking scuffed up, laying down on the grass near a bridge while Meryl and Milly are standing in the background.

The story and illustrations are followed by a note that says "Don't take this seriously."
