Earth-2016
Chisolm rode his horse into Rose Creek while Billy Rocks calmly walked beside him, strapped with knives. Inside Rose Creek, there were nearly two dozen men, some in the streets and some on the balconies, all armed with pistols or rifles.
Chisolm and Billy emerged into the center of the small town, stopping in front of a small group of men.
"Afternoon gentlemen." Chisolm greeted with a small nod.
"Town's got a ban on firearms." The lead man said with a slight drawl while the mayor of Rose Creek shuffled nervously next to him. Billy looked around, never blinking, though his fingers twitched slightly. The mayor continued. "Check 'em in. Take 'em on your way out."
"If you don't mind me asking, but how is it you all go so well here?" Chisolm asked with a slight smirk, though he already knew the answer.
"These men are deputies," the mayor said, swallowing thickly. Above them, the men on the balconies aimed their rifles at the pair.
"Awful lot of deputies for such a small place." Chisolm commented.
The man beside the mayor pointed at Billy. "What's his story?"
"Ah!" Chisolm grinned. "He's my manservant, Thomas," Billy shot him a look while the black man climbed off his horse. "Saved his life in Shanghai. Get Ivana in the light."
He stepped forward as the man grinned. "Now, you don't mind giving up those guns, do you?"
"Absolutely," Chisolm nodded. "Law and order, I say." He removed the pistol hanging from his belt and dangled it in the air for all to see.
"Sheriff," the man said. The man shot him a look before angling forward to take the pistol.
"Now, I am more than happy to corporate, but I can't say the same for my compadres behind you." Chisolm warned. The men looked behind them.
As if on cue, Goodnight Robicheaux emerged from behind a building, a rifle in his hand as he stood there. The men raised their eyebrows. From the sides, Joshua Faraday and Vasquez emerged from behind buildings as well.
Theon Greyjoy emerged and leaned against a railing, one hand straying to the pistol by his side, a smirk on his face.
The lead man smirked and looked back at Chisolm. Gone was the friendly smile. His eyes were now cold and deadly, betraying his intentions. Death and punishment.
Next to them, Jack Horne came walking in, chewing tobacco. He was strapped, knives and hand-axes strapped to his sides.
"Quite a batch of strays." The man mocked Chisolm, who said nothing.
"I'll say a prayer for you," Horne said. "A little prayer."
"You'll make a hell of a rug." One man scoffed.
"And you'll be murdered," Faraday spoke up, smirking. "By the world's greatest lover."
"All right," the man chuckled. He looked back at Chisolm. "What's your aim here, mister?"
"Well," Chisolm drawled. "I hear that there's some cowards running security here, so i figured we'd come down here and look after all this gold."
"Cowards?" the man sneered.
"Of the worst kind," Theon said loudly, making all look at him. "Brigands and war-makers. And as the Bible says- "The Wages of Sin is death.""
"You do know who we work for, right?" the man looked back. "The force he can bring to bear."
"Sounds like they don't care." A new voice rang out. Everyone turned in surprise. A tall black man with his hear in dreads walked up to them. He was dressed in a strange outfit that resembled white robes, and he had a hard look in his eyes. But the thing that drew everyone's attention was the strange pistols that seemed to be carved from white stone hanging by his sides.
"Couldn't agree more." Another voice, this one accented spoke. A stunningly attractive black woman, her hair also in dreads walked up beside the black man. Her eyes were a deep emerald green and there was something in them that made Chisolm involuntarily shiver.
Chisolm exchanged looks with the others, but they looked equally as confused.
"Who are you?" the sheriff asked.
"Lucian," the man shrugged. "This is my wife, Senna." She leaned against a wall.
The man turned back to Chisolm, who gazed into his eyes. "You tell Bogue, if he wants his town...come see me."
The man snorted and whistled-
But nothing happened. Theon grinned knowingly.
"I don't think he heard you," Chisolm said. He gave an order in the Native American language.
The dead man fell onto the roof and tumbled to the ground, revealing Red Harvest. He aimed and loosed another arrow that struck the man next to the sheriff right in the heart. The man collapsed to the ground without a sound.
Theon stood up. A fight was about to happen, this he knew. No one spoke, yet all knew what was coming. Lucian and Senna traded looks and grinned. Faraday and Vasquez got ready. Goodnight was sweating and Horne shifted into a fighting stance.
For what seemed like an eternity, no one moved. No one wanted to make the first move. Senna heard someone moving above her on the balcony and smirked. Theon shifted.
Then, one of Bogue's men drew his pistol. As soon as he did-
BOOM!
Chisolm shot him down before shooting the man behind him and spinning to blast another man to his side. Horne hurled an axe that impaled one man in the back. Theon smoothly palmed his pistol and fired two shots, taking two men out.
Feeling something behind him, he spun and fired. The shot punched through the man's skull, shattering it and hurling him from his feet. Lucian drew one of his Relic-Stone pistols and fired. To everyone's shock, instead of bullets, a burst of light emerged from the end of the pistol and punched a man from his feet.
Senna drew a massive cannon from under her cloak and fired, the shot of light smashing through a man's skull, killing him instantly. Vasquez fired a shot that killed another. Billy spun and hurled two knives that killed two charging men.
Faraday palmed his pistol and fired upwards, killing the two men on the balcony. As another emerged from the tavern, Chisolm aimed and fired, hurling him back. Chisolm gave him a nod as Theon walked forward, firing his pistols in a circle and killing three men drawing theirs.
As a man drew a pistol towards Billy, Horne tackled him from the side, tackling him to the ground. Billy ran across the street and rolled, plunging his knife into the man's belly before slashing him across the throat. Blood sprayed from the open wound and he fell, dead.
As two men exited a building, Red Harvest loosed two arrows, killing them both. Senna turned just as a man fired at her...
But the bullet passed through her. He nearly dropped his gun in shock. Senna gave him a savage grin and charged, firing her cannon and killing him. Nearby, Lucian swung and fired shot after shot of light from his Relic-Stone pistols, taking foes down left, right and center.
Faraday vaulted over the railing and aimed, blasting a charging man who was drawing his pistol. Theon charged across the street and dove, firing both his pistols as he did. The shells thundered into a man, smashing his skull and destroying his throat.
At the edge of town, Goodnight blasted anyone trying to escape the town as Faraday calmly marched towards him, gunning down anyone else. Theon and Vasquez fought back-to-back, firing their pistols.
Lucian dove across the ground to avoid a shot and Senna gunned him down in response. Inside a tavern, Chisolm calmly shot two men who were about to draw their pistols, while outside, Horne brutally stabbed the man he had tackled. "Clear vision! Clear sight!"
Blood sprayed everywhere as Horne continued stabbing the man. Billy swung and hurled another knife that impaled itself in a man's eye, killing him. Horne ran into a building and moments later, hurled a man out through the window.
Vasquez sheathed both of his pistols. Two men tried to escape, only for Theon to palm his pistols and blast both of them down in quick succession. One man jumped on his horse and began galloping out of Rose Creek. As he did, Red Harvest leapt from roof to roof before loosing an arrow that struck the man in the back. His horse slowed down to a trot before the man fell down, dead.
Lucian blasted a man in the face, taking him down. Looking around, he saw nothing but dead bodies lining the dust streets. Smirking, he sheathed them as Senna walked up to him. The two exchanged smirks.
One last man galloped away as Goodnight aimed his rifle. Theon and Faraday ran to catch up but slowed down when they saw Goodnight.
"Take the shot!" Faraday called out. Goodnight's hands shook and despite it, he didn't fire.
"Damn it, take the bloody shot!" Theon snapped. Goodnight fired-
But the gun jammed. The rider galloped into the distance. Theon stared after him.
"What was that?" Faraday demanded. Billy walked up to them and took the rifle. He frowned.
"It's jammed." He revealed. Theon narrowed his eyes, but said nothing. The group walked back into the center of town. Lucian had grabbed the sheriff and hurled him onto the ground.
"Bogue will come back!" he said fearfully. "He will!"
"Well I want you to give him a message," Chisolm said as he, Faraday, Billy, Goodnight, Horne, Vasquez, Theon, Red Harvest, Lucian and Senna formed a circle around him. "Tell him it's from Sam Chisolm. If he wants this town...come and take it from us."
The sheriff slowly backed away before turning and sprinting away. Lucian aimed his Relic-Stone pistol but Chisolm held up his hand. "Let him go."
The man reluctantly lowered his weapon and turned to face the others.
"Who are you?" Vasquez asked.
"My name is Lucian," he said. "This is my wife, Senna. And as it seems, we are not of this world."
Everyone looked confused, with the exceptions of Theon, who's eyes widened, and Chisolm, who raised an eyebrow.
"Well Theon," he said. "Looks like you're not the only person from another world."
Everyone looked at Theon who groaned.
"You're from another world too?" Senna asked, surprised.
"I've been stuck here for two months." The Greyjoy muttered.
"Well," Faraday drawled. "Today just got more interesting."
The man was still galloping, when he slowed down. As he did, something raked across his back and he screamed, feeling warm liquid pour down his back. As he fell down, a massive shape loomed above him, white fangs dripping saliva. The beast raised it's massive clawed hand-
And the man's face exploded in a bloody smear of blood and brains. The creature howled and began running back in the direction of Rose Creek.
