"Here !You can find ev'rything here !...LIQUOR...AMMUNITION ...ev'rything you need !...IT'S ALL YOURS !"
OLD MAN :""You know...This used to be a great place before "THEY" came to town...
To kill them ,you have to load your guns with these "special" ammo, otherwise..."
BELLE :"How many are they ?..." OLD MAN :"Twenty...may be thirty...I'm not sure..."
KATE : " Hey !I think I've found what I need for my "Mare's Leg" !"
KATE :"HEY OLD MAN !...YOU TAKE OUR HORSES TO THE BARN AND STAY BEHIND!"
BELLE :"I guess we took enough ammunition with us to fix them all !"
BELLE :"Trouble's found us here in this town... and if we're to have any chance..."
KATE :"I'm almost certain that they'll be overly confident in their numbers, especially if we're standing
right out here in front of them !...It's not like we'll have any advantage but if they're out there with us...
... then they won't have as much as they might have otherwise..."
KATE :"It'll happen fast once it start... so just keep yourself moving forward and they'll either move or root, or even freeze up...
It doesn't matter which, you just start right in on them with your six-shooters and when you're done both barrels, drop in,
pull the other pistols and make a run for that building where we stashed them others....I'll be trying to do the same if I can...!"
BELLE :"Thanks for the battleplan , partner !...IT'S GONNA BE MESSY LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE EVER SEEN !"
Tampling everything in their path, the bandits gallop toward the girls... They shoot off a hail of bullets...
"LET'S GET THEM, BOYS ! MOW DOWN EV'RYONE IN YOUR WAY !...KILL THEM !"
The horses scattered in every direction.... Shots zinged through the air ....
BANG ! BANG ! BANG !...Peww !....Peww !...
A hail of gunfire explodes, bodies fall... For the totally unprepared bandits, the battle is devastingly on the girls' side !...
BANG ! BANG ! BANG !...Peww !....Peww !...
Loud gunshots...men shouting and whooping...horse whinny and burr...
THE LEADER shouting :"DAMIT !....GET DOWN YOUR HORSES AND TRY GET TO THEIR STAND !..."
"AND ONCE YOU GET THERE... EMPTY YOUR GUNS ON THEM OR I DAMN WELL SHOOT YOU MYSELF !..."
THE LEADER :"YOU TWO THERE SKIRT THE BUILDING,
GET INTO THE ALLEYS ON THE SIDE !..."
"IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THESE CHICKS !...DAMIT !"
KATE :"THE WAR WILL GO ON... UNTIL THE WICKED ARE DEAD AND THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH....
....SOMEONE'S GOT TO GO AND GET IT READY FOR THEM !..."
KATE :"SHIT !...THEY CORNERED ME !...HAVE TO...AGGHHH !...."
One of the bandits :"STUPID BITCH !..."
BELLE :"DAMN ! THEY GOT KATE !...THEY'RE COMING THIS WAY !

BANG ! BANG ! BANG !...Pew ! Pew !...Pew !...
BELLE :"YOU DIDN'T EXPECT THIS, HUH, BOY SCOUTS !?..." BANG ! BANG !...UGGHH! AGHRR !...

THE LEADER :"HA ! HA !...GOT YOU BITCH !...'M COMING !"
THE LEADER :"YOU KILLED ALL MY MEN...NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO JOIN THEM....!"
Loud gunshot !... THE LEADER :"WWHATT ?!....AGGGHHH !!..."
KATE :"WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!?....EV'RYTHING'S DIFFORMED AND BLURRY...AHHH...MY HEAD..."
A FEW MINUTES LATER.... KATE :"OOH...WHERE THE DEVIL AM I?...Now I remember...
I FEEL LIKE I'M COMIN' OUTTA THE DEPTHS OF HELL !..."
BELLE :"HEY !... Thought I was dying!?...and my wound's gone!...IT'S TOTALLY INSANE !...
This town's completely evaporated into thin air !...KATE !...ARE YOU OKAY ?"
KATE :"I'M FINE !...I'm not even injured !....seems like eveything's just a nightmare !...
What's happening to the OLD MAN ?...LOOK ! I've just found a piece of paper in my belt and something's written on it !..."
KATE trying to read in the dark:"...This was a nice town called "FOUNTAIN CITY", population 200....unfortunately,a gang of ruthless bandits the "BLACK RIDERS" came to terrorize and took control of the town... Then one day, the whole population died of a contagious disease...a mysterious plague.... ...The US government first quarantined the town and then burnt it down completely to the ground ten years ago... No one heard of anything since then...The "BLACK RIDERS" had vanished too...but then they came back and still haunted this place....our souls could never find peace as long as THEY were there ....
You are the chosen ones to come and deliver this town from its malediction...I'm glad you're both still alive and well....
I guess I should have told you more about what's really going down here...It's just that folks don't usually live
as long as you have...not in this Hell...now our souls can finally find peace...Thank you for everything....
On behalf of the people of FOUNTAIN CITY, Your OLD MAN."
BELLE :"Brr...Let's get away from here...This place gave me the creeps !..."
KATE :"It's the Lord's country, BELLE...Land's this beautiful...Ain't no wonder ev'rybody's killing over her !"
