In the dimly-lit cave, the sight of the monstrous dragon-creature lighting the place up with its volcanic glow was enough to make Vash stop in his tracks, partially intimidated and partially mesmerized by its massive presence. …He hardly had much time to just watch the creature, though, before his attention turned to Ghost Rider’s whooping and hollering, as the flaming figure decided it would be a good idea to try wrapping the creature’s neck in chains right then and there, attempting to drive off with it. 

“C-cutting straight to the chase, I see!” Vash exclaimed a bit nervously, as Ghost Rider’s sudden actions soon caused everyone else in their group to almost immediately shift into attack mode. Thinking fast, his gaze landed on Archer, and at almost the same instant that the arrow was fired, a gunshot could be heard echoing the cavern, as Vash stood with his revolver in hand — a bullet having knocked that arrow straight out of the air. “Hey, hold on a minute!” Vash called to Archer. “Flameo over here’s already getting the beast restrained with his chains. Assuming this [i]is[/i] our legendary dragon, there’s no need to launch an arrow into its brains or anything! I mean, if anything, wouldn’t that just make it more hostile?” he suggested, putting on a nervous smile. 

…And then he noticed Saber going in for what looked like a lethal blow as well. “Hey! You don’t need to slay it!” he yelled to her. “You’re just… just gonna put yourself in more danger!” he called, attempting to think up a reason for her to withdraw other than ‘please don’t kill the dragon’, as he brought his gun out in front of him again, aiming to launch a bullet at her sword, thus knocking her away from her target.
