Bang! Bang! Bang! “Damn so close!” Bang! Gun shots echoed though the Amazon rain forest as two men chased each other in hopes of capturing the other. One man was a criminal who hunted the animals of the forest and sold them to poachers, dealers, and drug companies the other was a hero whose goal was to capture the scum that plague the world and make a good buck at the same time. The criminal was Claude Van Decken “The Hunter” he wore a leopard fur cloak over a khaki shirt along with khaki pants and boots made from snake skin, Claude had slick black hair that matched his black eyes and a small goatee under his chin he was a rather built man standing at an imposing height of 6’11 and 255 lbs (of nearly pure muscle), Claude had been known to go toe to toe with alligators, bears, and lions all for the thrill of the kill, The Hunter had a belt around his waist with several weapons that were meant for hunting the most dangerous game including a curved blade, daggers, a short spear, and in case of emergency a pistol in a holster at his waist along with a rifle strapped to his back. Some of The Hunter’s weapons were laced with a deadly dart frog toxin that would paralyze a victim leaving them prey for the Hunter’s other skills. The hero was the Last Gunslinger, Crow Cementerio, was dressed in his usual attire resembling a cowboy he had a small blue jacket that came halfway down his chest with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, the jacket had pockets on the front that contain various items, over a white t shirt. Crow had on black pants and black shoes that appeared to be cowboy boots the gunslinger also had a bullet belt and holster around his waist he had on his prized cowboy hat and the gift from Toni, a ribbon with a golden bell attached to it. Crow had a double edged knife in sheath that was located behind him on his waist and a grappling wire device on his left wrist that could be used with the knife. Crow had his custom indestructible revolver, Quicksilver, in his right hand as he moved though the rain forest with swiftness and agility chasing the Hunter. Crow was after Claude for his bounty that was supposes to be 5,000$ dollars Claude could care less about Crow he made a deal with someone very powerful just to get the Rail-gunner here.

Crow just come off his training with Valdimius and felt like Claude was a good first opponent to test his new abilities. The Thunderbolt Gunslinger had received anonymous information that Claude was here doing some poaching for some new dealers and this was the opportune time to get the Hunter. Crow was smiling as he hoped from branch to branch then the ground chasing after the poacher who appeared to be like a Tarzan in his natural environment. Crow was shooting at Claude but the trained hunter agility swinging though the rain forest plus the dense nature of the forest itself made it hard to hit. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The gunslinger loaded his gun using “The Trick” smiling “Man Claude you swing pretty good if I didn’t know any better I say you were try to get to Jane. This has been pretty good exercise but I think its time I ended this.” The Hunter turned around to address Crow’s insults but was shocked to see he isn’t there suddenly he turned back around his eyes widen the Rail-gun seemed to appear out of no where, in fact he actually used his electrical abilities to charge his legs and move faster than the hunter’s eyes could track, Crow’s hand surging with metallic blue electricity he sliced though the vine that Van Decken was holding causing him to fall to the ground. The Hunter recovered as he looked up to see a falling gunslinger aiming at him. Bang! Bang! The two bullets pierced though Claude’s shoulder and calf causing him to scream in agony. As Crow landed a device on The Hunter’s risk began to beep altering him that the mission was about to begin his services were no longer needed. Claude smirked at Crow reaching into a pack behind his back, “I’m sorry Cementerio but I have bigger game to hunt than you don’t worry though you have some big game to worry about as well.” With that the poacher tossed a small black pellet that exploded into a large purplish smoke screen.

The Thundering Cowboy jumped back thinking the cloud may be poisonous, it actually was just a simple smoke screen meant to blind the gunslinger and hide Claude as he escaped, once the cloud cleared Crow immediately brought his guard up. Damn I can’t believe I let that stupid smoke screen catch me off guard. Where is he? Where is he going to come from? Crow looked around hoping to spot the hunter but suddenly a noise interrupted him he looked up thinking that Claude was attacking from above. The Rail-gunslinger was shocked as not Claude but a dark toned, muscular, tall man fell from the canopy crashing in to a tree near Crow. “Dios mios!” Crow went to rush over to the man but was a second man quickly came down joining him the Last of the Gunslingers didn’t recognize the man at first but he caught a quick glimpse of the crimson red eyes that burned with the fires of hell and the intensity of a demon king, the man was the notorious villain Newdeath. Crow froze in his spot, he had learned a little about Newdeath while training with Vald, but The Boss appeared differently from the time the two encounter each other at Jewel’s Newdeath hear was longer and his outfit was different but one thing was still the same he still had those demonic crimson eyes expect now they had a evil more sinister intensity to them. Crow looked away from the eyes as he remember what happen last time he looked into them, despite the fact that he had trained with the Vald in order to defeat the deadly Influence, Crow still had the memories of their last encounter fresh in his head and was still terrified of this man, the gunslinger remembered back to where exactly laid him to the Amazon, trying to catch Claude Van Decken, and now this encounter with the one man he was truly afraid of Newdeath.

A Few Days Earlier

The Rail-gun was playing a game of pool by himself at his and Toni’s house/office the juke box was playing in the background; he was wearing current outfit just minus the jacket and weapons and the gunslinger was smiling as he waited for his girlfriend to get home from the grocery store any minute. Just as expected Toni walked in the door smiling cheerfully with his brown eyes and short pure white hair she was carrying a bag of needed groceries in one arm and an unfamiliar box in the other. “Crow-kun I’m hooommeee!” The Last Gunslinger sighed as he tosses the cue stick on the table and helped Toni taking the groceries “What is with the box Toni.” The gunslinger’s girl turned the juke box off as she placed the box on Crow’s desk “I don’t know but it was on the door step and it was address to you.” Crow opened the box and was a little surprise inside was papers and information about Claude Van Decken a bounty he has been after for the past few weeks. The notes said that Decken was in the Amazon looking for big game for his buyers and but Crow could not find a sender any where. This seemed incredible suspicious it could be a trap sent by Decken him self to kill the Lighting Shooter but on the other hand Decken has a good bounty that would pay the bills. Hmmm if it is a trap I should be able to take Decken but still this could be more to this.

Throwing caution to the wind Crow decided that he should catch the criminal no matter what he was a Gunslinger and he wasn’t worried about a silly trap set by some crazed hunter.

Present Time

Crow was practically rooted to the spot approaching the gunslinger and the man who fell from the tree, damn it not again I went though all that training to stop Newdeath and yet here I am unable to move unable to face him. Damn! Do something Crow keep moving don’t just stay still move forward face him this is what Valdimius put you though all the punishment for. FACE HM! Crow summoned some courage and stood up facing the Boss he held Quicksilver with both hands steadying himself as blue electricity started to arc from his body he was charging his signature attack Rail-gun. “Newdeath I don’t care about the rumors that say you are immortal we all got to do sometime and I am going to be the one to remove you from this world!” Newdeath silently removed his sword and held it firmly the blade began to radiate a white flame Crow braced himself, so this is how its going to be a face off with him good let see what is stronger his flames or my lightning! "No!" Suddenly the man that ND had knocked into a tree jumped up and got in the way of Newdeath’s white flames taking the attack and saving Crow from probably certain death. The gunslinger’s eyes widen as he rushed forward catching the man from falling back doing so discharged Rail-gun. The Influence mocked the two for their bravery, "You can't protect him from me. Against ND, death is certain" The man who saved Crow was badly burned but he still had strength to speak, “You villains disgust me. Thinking you can do whatever you want. I'll put you in your place" The Rail-gunner smirked at the man taunt, I don’t know this guy but I’m certain I would like him anyone who believes something like that is A OK in my book. Newdeath prepared to attack again and Crow was ready stepping out from behind the man ready to shoot at the notorious villain with his demon eyes but suddenly something starting beeping and Newdeath stopped. "Well, it seems I have more important things to deal with. But just so I don't have to look for you two clowns when I return.." Crow was determined not to let the villain get away, “Damn it Newdeath you ain’t getting away!” Bang! Bang! Bang! Crow shot at the villain aiming for his eyes and heart but apparently the Devil King had other plans an invisible blast strike both the Last Gunslinger and the other man.

The Electric Cowboy felt the ground leave his feet as he felt like he was being thrown though the air with tremendous speeds everything was spinning then suddenly Crow hit the ground with a thud. Crow stood up slowly feeling like he was going to be sick any moment. He looked around and was shocked not only was The Boss gone but also Crow was in a completely different location; no longer was he surrounded by the dense forest of the Amazon but now he was in an unfamiliar forest. “Dios mios! What the hell was that and where the hell are we?” Crow remember the man who saved him from the Beast’s flames Crow rushed over and noticed the painful looking burns. Crow wrapped the man injuries and put some ointment on them that would heal them a little, having brought medical supplies with him, once the man was wrapped up Crow up and pointed Quicksilver at the man. He was normally a trusting person and in this case where this man saved him he should be grateful but just encountering the villain ND he wasn’t willing to trust anyone just yet. “I’m sorry to do this to you amigo I am grateful for you saving me and I owe you one but there are some things I need to know first. Who are you? I assume you know that man who attacked us was Newdeath but how do you know him and why did he attack you? Do you know where we are? Why did you save me?” Crow had a lot of question that he wanted answers to but as he waited for his savior’s answers the Rail-gun was going over a few things in his head; why was Newdeath in the rain forest to begin with and why did he attack this man? More importantly what was so important that he left us like that? He said he didn’t want to go looking for else did that mean he is coming back for us, damn in that case I’ll be ready I’ll end that bastard here and now but…The gunslinger remembered Newdeath’s appearance; what was with his new look? What is going on?

Crow was quite impressed with Tako, the Shishi warrior and Chikara, little display of enegry manipulation not only healing his wounds but also generating a ball of energy in his palm but there was no need for that formality the Rail-gun believed him after all he was a lightning manipulator himself. Tako chuckled as he answers the rest of Crow’s questions. "I honestly have no idea where we are. And as for why I saved you, why wouldn't I? It's what any decent person would try to do. I couldn't let that creep take another life. I'm a hero. It's my job to save and protect. Oh and not to seem rude cause I know you've got a lot of questions but I suggest we talk while we try to find a way outta here. So who're you?" With that the Shishi energy manipulator began to journey into the mysterious forest signaling for the Last Gunslinger to follow. Crow caught up quickly as he spoke to Tako “My name is Crow Cementerio, some people call me The Rail-gun and others call me the Last Gunslinger. I am a bounty hunter who was after an animal poacher when…well you “drop” in on me.” The Gunslinger of Lightning laughed at his joke a little as he continue using a bit of speed and agility to bounce off the ground and the surrounding trees to get in front of Tako. “Apparently you and I have something in common as Newdeath wants to kill me too. I don’t know much about the man I encountered him at a bar some time ago and the experience was not good to me I only got a nibble of his powers and it was enough to shake me to my core. But there is something off about him this time when I saw him attacking you…he looks different and he is stronger somehow.” The gunslinger randomly took out a piece of paper and pen and drew a rough chibi version of Newdeath when he saw him at Jewel’s wearing a cloak and a conical hat showing the energy manipulator the doodle. The gunslinger then suddenly stopped in front of Tako halting the man in his tracks and stuck out his hand to the energy manipulator. “Gracias amigo for saving my life back there I owe you Tako of . As a Gunslinger my word is my bond and I never go back on my promise.” Crow smiled cheerfully his blue eyes staring in Tako’s as he offered his hand in friendship and alliance.

A normal person would still have been suspicious of Tako and the recent events and definitely wouldn’t be offering their hand in friendship so soon but Crow was not normal. He was more trusting than the normal person he life had taught him it was better to trust people than dwell on the negative besides Tako statement about being a hero and protecting people was enough for Crow to trust him. The Thundering Cowboy also it was his group to protect his friends in fact that is what he trained so hard with Valdimius and was determined to kill Newdeath to protect his friends from the Demon Eyes King. I don’t know this guy or anything about him but anyone who is willing to get in the way of Newdeath to protect someone else is okay in my books. Crow then looked around his hands on his hips as he tried to figure a way to go in this forest that The Boss had sent them. “I agree we should keep moving but at the same time we don’t know where we are or where to go. Maybe it would be best to wait for Newdeath because I doubt he is done with us.” Something doesn’t feel right apparently Newdeath desired Tako enough he attacked him like that and I know he hates and wants me, probably for the same reason putting me a zombie army of evil. If that is the case then why did he leave us? Why send us here specifically? “Tako I think we should stay here for a bit it may sound crazy but it could save our lives. Newdeath wouldn’t just send us to a random island without any reasoning he probably knows this island like the back of his evil hand. I would bet my a$$ to Zella that this place is rigged with all kinds of traps that he wants us to walk into. I say we stay here and wait for him talk him head on that what us heroes do right fight their enemies face to face. If we are going to move around I think we need a base of operation and keep track of where we are going and where we been. I say we make this our base or at least look for some water nearby where we can stop.” Suddenly the gunslinger drew Quicksilver and fired a shot into a nearby tree then holstered his gun all within a fraction of a second, maybe even the blink of an eye, one would need super vision see Crow’s movements drawing his gun. “There now we will be able to tell we have been here its like Hansel and Gretel bread crumbs but with bullets.” With that Crow laughed and began to look around not moving too far away from Tako just seeing if he can find a source of water. Despite healing himself Tako took a big hit from Newdeath. No body can recover from a hit that bad and just walk away from just because he did some energy manipulating. Crow smiled despite the fact that he was deep in hostel territory and had no clue where he was let alone whether the one man he feared as much as he hated would attack again, he kept his smile and retain a cool head. The Gunslinger of Lightning may usually have a carefree attitude but he was a perceptive and tactically sound fighter often considering all the little facts and details in battle. The gunslinger know of The Influence’s reputation as a calm collected manipulator able to out plan anybody and he was not trying to beat The Beast in a game of wits but he was going to make sure he survived this with his new ally Tako.

Meanwhile at Crow’s office/house

Toni Leone d’argento, the Last Gunslinger’s girlfriend and partner, sat on the couch in her pajamas her pure white hair pulled up in a messy pony tail as she watched the news. There was a breaking news story that was attacked and many lives were lost; no one knew who was responsible for the attack but the reports of survivors told of a giant beast that ravaged the metropolis which was home to some heroes. The attack left tremors that were felt all the way to Shingami City where Toni currently was, this was one of the things that woke her, the report told of hundreds of death, destruction like never seen before and how this was a tragic night in the city and the world’s history. The Ignition Witch held a picture of her and Crow they took at a recent carnival while on a mission it was one of the few pictures that contain the two of them where he was truly smiling. She whispered to herself in the dark watching tv ‘Please Crow be safe and come home in one piece.” She knew that Crow recently had a crisis of self and faith it was only training with someone he called Valdimius that her boyfriend began to return to his own self but she was worried that he was still thinking of the events that put him in that dark state and it wouldn’t take much for him to go back there.

Back in the

Crow was still looking around for a water source when the golden bell hanging from a pink ribbon, a gift from his girlfriend Toni, rang making him smile a little. Don’t worry Toni I’ll come back safe and sound. Suddenly a noise rustled in the trees making the gunslinger turn his head he had his hand on his indestructible revolver ready for whatever may attack them even if it was Newdeath himself again.

From the bush emerge a strange humanoid like creature with a body that was half black and half white colored body sickening yellow eyes and green hair two venus fly trap like extensions enveloped its upper torso and head. Tako who seemed to know what this creature was alarmed Crow immediately “Byoki!” The disturbing creature began to hiss menacing as Crow looked over at the Chikara warrior, who was now radiating a blue flame like aura around his body, now actually sure what a Byoki was thinking it was some kind of adorable Pokémon and not the monster in front of them, “Watch out Crow, these things are stronger than they look. It’s one of Newdeath’s monsters.” The Thunderbolt Gunslinger’s hand was on Quicksilver ready to draw it at a moment notice ready for the Byoki attack. “Damn just like the evil bastard to send one of his pets after us instead of fighting us himself. It’s great to know this thing looks stronger than it looks Tako…because it looks pretty strong to begin with.” The Last Gunslinger smirked as he sarcastically joked with his new ally and friend. ‘Are you sure you are able to fight Tako? When I came across you Newdeath gave you a beating who knows what he did to you before hand; I can handle this Byoki thing.” I hope you are watching this Newdeath because I want you to see what you up against. You are no longer dealing with some third rate punk you are dealing with the Last Gunslinger. Crow body began to pump with a surge of adrenaline and fear but on the outside he had a wide smile on face like he was having fun in this terrible situation.

Crow drew Quicksilver in less than a blink of an eye and shot at the Boss’s Byoki shooting all six shots aimed right between Venus fly trap opening in between the monster’s eyes. The using the “The Trick” he loaded his gun with speeds not even trained eyes could detect his movements, the gunslinger made sure to load the indestructible revolver with a few of his Special rounds. The Gunslinger of Lightning then sent an electrical surge into his legs to increase his speed beyond that of a normal human he quickly launched himself at a tree and began to push off of them with a few series of lightning quick aerobatic and swift moves getting right behind the monster his gun pointing at the back of its head. “Tako go head take this thing head off!” Crow smirked hoping that he had confused the Byoki monster enough to give the energy manipulator an opening, Crow fired again but this no normal but Crow’s special Dragon rounds that fire a blast of 1000 degree fire blast the close range assault would hopefully send the plant looking creature ablaze. Shockingly the Byoki turned to face Crow its neck seemingly twisting horribly revealing that the bullets that Crow had shot at it earlier barely scratched it one bullet hole that was located just right to eye healed completely with in seconds’ right in front of the gunslinger. Crow’s eyes widen in horror and shock; what the hell is this thing, The Byoki ducked under the fire as spikes began to protrude from its Venus fly trap extensions then the spikes fired at incredible speeds at the gunslinger. Lucky for Crow projectiles were a bit of specialty of his; using his superior vision Crow could see every spike and could dodge them using his electrically enhanced speed. The onslaught of spikes forced Crow a few meters from Tako and behind a tree for cover; damn I should have known that a Newdeath’s plant monster would just turn carbon dioxide in oxygen. How am I supposed to beat this thing it healed from those bullet wounds like it was nothing? Crow called out to his Chikara ally “Hey Tako, amigos are you okay? Listen you said that your people know about ND right well got any tips how you kill these Byoki thing?”

The Rail-gun looked around the area it was currently littered with the Byoki’s spikes which were covered with of it deadly poison that was dissolving the and rotting everything around where it penetrated; trees were already dead and losing leafs and the grass died instantly leaving the ground looking decay and rotten. It’s a good thing I dodge those spikes this creature seems to produce a poison on something one scratch and I be pushing up daisy. Okay so getting close to this thing is out of the question. Before Crow could think of a plan anymore the Byoki began to create a deadly poison in its mouth and spit it in small bullet like projectiles at the tree where the gunslinger was hidden. The extremely acidic poison burned though the tree with ease causing it to fall but Crow was already on the move running towards the Demon Eye King’s monsters with his super electrical speed zig zagging in and out to dodge to “bullets”. Crow smiled as he aimed his revolver towards the bottom of the plant monster one of his Freeze rounds in the chamber of the gun. ‘If this thing is a plant than I think it time to get it the cold shoulder Tako!” Crow smirked at his joked as he fired the bullet which hit it mark taking affect immediately it began to freeze the monster from the bottom up in ice. Crow then covered his in metallic blue electrical energy which then extended a few feet from his hand. “La Lanza!” Then the gunslinger accelerated as much as he could without using Overcharged becoming a blue blur he sliced the lightning lance upwards cutting the Byoki perfectly in half vertically separating black half from the white. Crow smiled as he appeared on the other side of the Byoki panting a little his lightning lance discharging; “Now Tako finish this poor excuse for a weed off! Show Newdeath just what he is dealing with!” Crow smiled the two heroes battled the villain’s monster under the blood red moon bathing everything it’s a red light in the center of the moon symbols that mimicked the Boss’s deadly and infamous Kurimuzon Eyes like the Beast himself was watching these fight and everything.

Meanwhile outside the island that Tako and Crow were now on news of the attack on was on every news station, every channel, and every radio as the world began to learn more and more about the tragic attack. Heroes promise that they will find the villain and bring them to justice, police chiefs said that working with the heroes and finding who did this to be their top priority, mayors vowed that the day would be a day of mourning and remembrance for those who lost their lives and presidents declared war on the people who performed this attack. But even though that everyone wanted justice for this horrific attack on innocents lives not one person knew who had done it.

Crow smiled as he stood up wiping the sweat off his brow he twirled Quicksilver on his finger and blew off the smoke on the barrel then holstered the gun, this was Crow unique signal that the battle was over. Crow looked at the smoldering remains of the Byoki and then his new ally and friend Tako. Crow smiled as he patted the Chikara on the back. “Not bad amigo we make a pretty good team. We stomped that plant’s a$$ into the ground. Now that is what I call you’re a$$ is grass.” Crow laughed at his own stupid joke a little, “I think we should get moving knowing Newdeath I bet that he is planning on sending more of his monsters at us any minute.” With that the two began to journey though the mysterious forest making sure to stay close to one another Crow was ever the vigilant stopping at every rustle in the bushes or snap of a twig. Even though we beat one monster there is probably plenty of more just waiting around the corner. It is not the best of ideas of just walking blindingly and beating everything on this island until Newdeath shows his face my stamina may be improved but I am not an energizer bunny that can go forever plus Tako is still injured from Newdeath’s earlier attack. Speaking of the devil if we were to encounter him I doubt we could take him Newdeath was out of my league the first time we met and now he is even more powerful. Tako said he was his island more powerful warrior and Newdeath nearly killed him; we need back up we need to get to place where I can call someone. But the question is who? Toni…no she can’t help, hmmm maybe Raseri or another hero. Hmm what to do Tako is still sore so he can’t go much further without rest but I don’t want to wait around for another attack. Oh that right I have those! Crow stopped suddenly turning to the Shishi island warrior as he reached in one of the pockets on his jackets. “Hold up Tako I got something that will recharge you.” Crow then pulled out a small black pill and toss it lightly to Tako, “Don’t worry that is not poison; my friend made those they are a form of medicine. They are a blend of herbs and medicine that rejuvenates the body they will heal your injuries enough that you can keep fighting. Plus they basically recharge your battery and give you second wind which is what we need if we are going to survive. I warn you though once you take them your body will feel overheated and like you are going to have a heart attack. Those side effects past though once your body gets use to it. I got 5 of them with me, 4 after this one I am fine for now so I don’t need one. You need more then me so bottoms up amigo.” Crow smiled a little thinking that he had helped his new ally; this is good now that Tako took a Body Awakening pill he should be rejuvenated enough to continue on.

The Last of the Gunslinger began to look around again, they had traveled a good couple of meters away from where they fought the Byoki but still they had no clue where they were. Needing time to think of a way out of this the Thundering Cowboy leaned up against a tree. “So I am lost I have no clue how to get out of this forest let alone what to do once get somewhere I thought of maybe finding some cell phone service and calling back up but I doubt that will work. I am open to suggestions from you Tako.” Crow thought back to killing the Byoki, that Byoki thing was a monster the thought that Newdeath created that thing is disturbing. I can only imagine what else he might have waiting for us. I really owe Tako one he saved me twice. He protected me from Newdeath’s flame blast and without his help I probably wouldn’t have beaten the Byoki. Crow smiled to himself a little and figure he might as well share some of himself with his new friend, “So Tako back on Shishi island do you have any special lady friends. Sorry for the small talk I just figure we might as well get know each other it is not like we are doing anything else.” The Rail-gun laughed a little after all this was him trusting his friends no matter what and the elemental manipulator had certainly proven himself as a friend. “I do she is a bit annoying sometimes and drives me up the wall but she is the one thing that can keep me fighting. Her name is Toni she is my girlfriend and partner. Hmm now that I think about she is probably crying her eyes out right now because I am not there and the second I get back I will probably have to take her on some romantic date or something. I swore I would protect her and that is why I am fighting Newdeath right now to protect her and all my friends. I guess that is my hero way of life to protect people after all isn’t that why you saved me. Truth be told I encountered Newdeath once before at a restaurant it will small encounter but I was never more afraid in my life. When I saw him after you drop in all those fears resurface and I was frozen in place but at the same time I felt this surge of adrenaline hit him. In that moment with all my fears and worries I knew that it was going to be me or him. Life or Death. Either I was going to kill him or he was going to kill me. Even now I feel that way that if I don’t kill him he will kill me and worst hurt those I care about.” Suddenly the gunslinger got an idea it was crazy but the Thunderbolt Gunslinger was known for his crazy schemes.

“Hey Tako, Newdeath sent us to this island for a reason right? And that Byoki I don’t think it was walking by us and decided that we would make a good snack. Newdeath must have known where we were right? This must mean that his is watching us some how monitoring our moves and skills and guiding our paths so we walk into a trap. If he is watching then he must be listening to us.” Crow suddenly walked around looking for a camera of some sort to look into or anything that the Boss might be using to monitor the Shishi warrior and the Modern Cowboy. “Hey Newdeath! It’s me Crow you know the kid who going to stomp your face into the ground. If you want me so bad then come get me stop sending your pets to fight me. I am right here come fight me yourself or are you afraid I am going to give you an a$$ beating! Come on Newdeath if you want to kill me so badly then let’s go you and me mano-a-mano no Byoki, no monsters!” With that Crow looked at Tako and whispered so only the Chikara would hear him, “You may want to protect yourself amigo.” Suddenly Crow placed his hand on the ground and sent a massive electrical discharge in all directions trying to short circuit any device that may be monitoring them. The gunslinger hurried over to Tako smiling a little, “Don’t worry that wasn’t just random taunting. Newdeath doesn’t do anything without a reason. When we first encountered each other he could have killed you and me no problemo but he didn’t. He must need us for some reason he woulnd’t risk killing us I figure maybe we could draw him out and use that to our advantage.” Crow snickered as he plotted with the Shishi island warrior unbeknownst to him it was Tako who was being used to monitor the Last Gunslinger from being controlled by the Nefarious Newdeath.

It seemed that Tako liked Crow’s plan of drawing out Newdeath and using whatever he wanted them for against him but before Tako could express anymore more the two heroes were attacked by a swarm of the vicious and deadly Byoki. "Get your guns ready Crow. It's time to incinerate these things again. Looks like Newdeath is listening", Crow smirked a little as he drew Quicksilver as the Chikara warrior fist began to radiate with energy and the Tyrant’s monsters hissed violently. “Good I’m glad he is listening it means he is probably watching too. I hope he sees what is waiting for him.” With that Crow began to surge with electrical energy and his overall power increased his eyes began to glow cobalt blue and arcs of electricity peeled off his body, “Overcharged.” Crow was now in his Overcharged state which increased every attribute; strength, speed, focus, power, etc. The Gunslinger of Lightning disappeared leaving only a trace feeling of static electricity the gunslinger was now moving so fast he was practically invisible to the normal naked eye it seemed he was actually teleporting. The Thundering Cowboy reappeared just above a Byoki and delivered a super charged kick to its head that was so powerful it spun the plant monster’s head around almost completely 180 degrees, something that would have killed a normal being. The Byoki retaliated by causing the spikes on its venus fly trap like mouth to extend towards the gunslinger but fortunately the gunslinger was faster dodging the poison coated spikes by performing several acrobatic flips at lightning speeds. Unfortunately unlike last time there was more than one of these creatures and now they were all pursuing the gunslinger; a group of them began to slice at Crow with their person coated nails but using the increased focus that Overcharged granted him he could see the movements of the monsters moving slowly around him. Even with Overcharged the Byoki were beginning to outpace the gunslinger and they were pushing deeper into the forest and separating him from Tako; damn these creatures are seperating us it wouldn’t surprise me if this is all part of Newdeath’s plan keep the two of us apart then he will sneak in and take us out one at a time. I need to fight back and get off the defensive. The last one we killed needed to be completely incinerated. Suddenly both of the gunslinger hands were coated with metallic blue electricity, “Doble Hoja!” Now time to cut these weeds down!

Crow began to dodge the Byoki as they sliced at him with their poison coated nails then as they missed Crow began to slice their arms, legs, necks, shoulders and anywhere else he could get out but just as fast as he was cutting them they were regenerating. Suddenly the Byoki began to reeled back like they were going to spit something; the gunslinger’s eyes widen remembering his last encounter with a Byoki he knew what was coming he quickly moved behind a tree using his lightning speed as the Byoki group spat a large ball of acidic poison that formed together to make a giant ball of poison Crow saw this out of the corner of his eye and got out from behind the tree as fast as possible as the ball hit it and burned away the tree like it was nothing. The now rotting tree collapsed from the dust it created the gunslinger emegred smiling Overcharged still in effect, I need the Byoki to line up if I want to have a chance of winning and I need to do it quick to get back to Tako. I wonder how he is faring with all these plant bastards. Crow drew Quicksilver faster than a trained eye could see and fired several of his Burst Bullets up at the Byoki causing a large explosion that rumbled though the forest. Crow smirked as he looked around his eyes widen as suddenly the Byoki appeared around regenerating missing chunks of flesh the Byoki then began to firing the spikes from the Venus fly trap mouth at the gunslinger. Normally these would prove to be fatal to almost everyone but luckily Overcharged with still active the increased focus and speed saved the gunslinger he could see all the spikes coming at him in slow motion and used his speed to move out the way of the upcoming poisonous barrage letting the spikes pierce the Demon’s monsters. The Rail-gun landed on a tree branch panting a little, crap one of these was nearly impossible now that there is more it’s overwhelming. I just been getting by thanks to Overcharged but I don’t think it will last much longer its beginning to reach its limit. The Byoki began to come after the gunslinger ready to rip the flesh from his bones but lucky for the gunslinger the way they were lined up was perfect for the gunslinger. Crow smirked as he charged his signature attack waiting for the right second for them to line up just the right way then it happen the gunslinger leapt backwards off the branch as a Byoki slashed at him, “Rail-gun!” The Last Gunslinger pulled the trigger firing his signature move the shot was perfectly aimed to piece though the same spot of all the Byoki, thanks to the way the monsters came after Crow they set themselves up, the super charged lightning guided bullet pierce though the plants creature shocking them also the heat generated from the attack instantly set the monsters on four incinerating them.

Unfortunately this attack was not without it draw backs to Crow; Rail-gun super heated Quicksilver burning Crow’s hands and the recoil of the blast because he was in air and not planted on the ground he thrown backwards though the air. The Last Gunslinger smashed though braches and crashed into the ground with a loud thud. Crow smirks as he laid they in pain covered in bruises and starches his hands covered in burns. See Newdeath like I said I hope you are watching because that is what is waiting you. Crow was unable to move and his vision was nearly completely black he had used the enegry of Overcharged to speed up the charging of Rail-gun so the ability ended sooner leaving the side effects of faded vision and slower reflexes. As the Rail-gunner waited for the effects of Overcharge to wear off a several more Byoki emerged from the ground, Crow began to panic his vision slowly coming back “Damn it these things just don’t end!” The Tyrant’s Beast extended it spikes looking to pierce and kill the gunslinger. Crow moved as fast as he can grabbing the still burning hot revolver and loaded with more explosive shots using a few well placed shots on a few trees to cause them to fall down and overlap but not crush the gun toting hero. The trees acted as shields so that the Byoki’s spikes hit them instead of Crow while he rolled out of the way still slow but not for long. Using the butt of his gun he block a few more spikes the indestructible metal that the revolver was made of allowed him block the attacks without the gun being damaged. Crow began to shout hoping his energy manipulating ally would hear me, “Tako can you hear me how are you holding up? We need to get away and fast amigo!” Once the gunslinger knew that a bit of his original speed was back he quickly moved in between the Byoki the lightning blade reappearing on his hand this time extending to form a lance. “La Lanza!” Crow used a bit more of Relampago to increase the speed of his arm as he move it around him slicing up the Byoki the heat of the lightning incinerating the bits of Byoki.

Once that was done Crow began to limp a little towards where he left Tako hoping to encounter his ally; his body was sore and his hands were burned badly plus one of the trees he use to save his life landed on him and he was sure it cracked a rip or two. The gunslinger was still smiling as he leaned up against a tree for support, “You see that Newdeath it doesn’t matter what you send after me I am going to beat and kill it you might as well come after me yourself. But I understand if you are afraid after that little display.” Crow smirked as he continues to taunt the Devil King he was sure that he was not only listening but watching he needed to draw the villain out so that they could get off this island but he had a feeling the taunts were not working. Still though Crow had a feeling that Newdeath was using some deadly way of watching him.
