The gambler pointed his gun at his old pals chest, and pulled the trigger. -Sorry, he muttered.

BANG!

As the smoke cleared, he saw he had hit him in the chest.

However, the bullet only scratched the outlaw, and he was still alive and kicking. And almost ready to fire away!
 

Two shots and he was still standing, he can't believe it.

Perhaps he was already dead but he didn't notice.

Anyway he coldn't back now, raising his gun, he shot Trinity.

With trembling hands, Choctaw aimed his gun at Maddox and prepared to pull the trigger… His pal Jack pointed his gun at Trinity who was aiming now for Jason. And he hit the bounty hunter´s chest.

BANG!

The bullet broke a rib and sent Trinity stumbling backwards. Miraculously he did not fall down but stood his ground. However, lawman´s most dangerous ally was out of the game for a while.

Vincent Bronson fired again at Maddox, aiming for the legs as before. And he hit the knee!

His Colt Navy was almost a relic nowadays, and the lead balls did less damage than expected despite the hit. Maddox kept going. He had been in more gunfights than the other men combined. He knew if he stopped or hesitated, he was a dead man.

The lawman fired at Choctaw. BANG!

But he missed his head by a few inches.

BANG! Jason fired again at Trinity, but he missed.

The infamous outlaw could not believe he was still in the game. He had seen bullets fly past him and around him. His eyes focused on Maddox, deep down inside he knew he was not going to come out alive from this fight. He was injured already when he rode to Sabbath, and this was his last stand, his defining moment.

He closed his eyes, and fired his Colt Bisley.

BANG!

But he missed miserably.

Mayer was preparing to shoot again at Dekker. Vincent was aiming for Maddox´s chest this time. But his son wanted a piece of Maddox, and changed his aim. The lawman wanted to finish Choctaw off, and aimed for the head.

- Make sure your opponent is dead before go for another - that were the words of one of his officers when he he was at the army. Trinity was taking a beating but until he was dead he cannot hold his fire. Mayer will have to wait.

- Fucking Mayer, do you only know how to kill a boy? I will teach you how to kill a traitor rat after I dispatch this negro - shouted Jack continuing shotting at Trinity.

Jack aimed for Trinity´s head, and to his right the young cowman Crowe fired at the same target.

BANG!

The shot hit Trinity in the face! Just inches away from his eye, and his death, the bullet ripped through his dark skin and the bountyhunter took a step back but held his ground. He was hurt badly though, and it was difficult for him to aim with the open wound close to his left eye.

To make matters worse, Jack Dekker was prepared to finish him off…

Jack missed! His shot⁴² went wide to the left from Trinity, and the bullet hit the ground not too far away from Maddox.

Immediately after, Vincent Bronson and Mayer fired their guns simultaneously.

B-BANG!

Mayer missed Jack and his shot⁴³ went past the outlaw and was closer to hitting the ranch baron instead.

Mr. Bronson was keen on finishing off the sheriff who had caused all this mayhem. He kept firing in quick succession, which made it for difficult for him to aim accordingly. And he missed⁴³ to the right.

The sheriff did not blink when faced with gunfire, and he pulled the trigger⁴⁴ pointing at Choctaw´s head!

BANG!

But he failed again, and his shot went wide and high. At the same time, Jason Bronson fired at the lawman⁴⁴. He wanted his place in history, his name in big gold letters. And this was his chance.

BANG!

And he hit the lawman in the chest!

And Maddox went down to the ground, and dropped his gun. The lawman was down!

At last a little of luck think Jack when he saw Maddox and Trinity fall down.

- Now it is your time Mayer, but you can flee, even you are a rat I hesitate killing an old comrade - said Jack aiming his gun to Mayer this time.

Maddox hit the ground hard. It was not the first time he was down in a gunfight, but he felt this could very well be the last. Far in the distance, he could see Laura sitting on the wagon, waiting for him to ride away.

But that future was slipping away from him. He had missed far too many shots, he had been clumsy. Made too many mistakes. And when faced with accomplished gunmen, one mistake was all it took.

He was about to give up, let go. But still he grabbed his Colt Flat lying close by. The cold touch of the metal made him react, and even though he only had two bullets left, at least he was not unarmed.

-Choctaw, go finish him off, Vincent said when he saw the lawman go down. He wanted Maddox dead. He wanted to be there to see it. For what Maddox had done to Harvey. But killing a lawman was a certain way for trouble. It was better it was Choctaw, a wanted murderer, who pulled the trigger.

In any case, he pointed his gun at Maddox just to be sure.

-Sure thing, boss, the gun hand replied and took a few steps closer to Maddox who was still getting up.

Choctaw felt cold and dizzy as he raised his gun…

-You´re a gentleman, he muttered…

-Sorry, ain´t gonna flee, pal, Mayer replied in his characteristic laconic tone. His blue eyes were fixed at Dekker´s. He had seen Maddox go down, but he did not seem to have nowhere to run. -I don´t wanna kill ya either, but will do if I have to.

In a matter of a few seconds, dozens of bullets were fired all over the place. Several of the men involved were hurt, but no one had been killed yet. The Bronson men seemed to have the upper hand, as Choctaw approached Maddox, and Jason and Jack were pointing at Mayer. Trinity was also hurt, and was faced with Crowe.

Around them, the locals had not had time to react yet. However, there were at least two men armed and not far away. At present, no one wanted to get involved in the close quarter shooting game.

All of a sudden, time stood still for a few split seconds...

Proud of his friend for the achievement, but worried yet for the mercenary who was far from being a trustworthy victim to be spared, he aimed again towards him, although pitying the fact that a soul might be departing. - If it was any other way... - he thought, but no, there wasn't. Not for him, at least. 

Trinity suddenly woke up, he was in the middle of a gunfight. He remembered it all... Alacran, Dekker and a band of outlaws. He didn't remember the reward for that white gunman that had shot his head. Trinity was a bounty hunter, he was with the law, fighting against five crooks. That white man had shot him first, and should know fire of hell will burn him, no court will have a doubt about his dead.

Crowe fired at Trinity, but his palms were sweaty and he missed by a lot.

Next to him, Choctaw approached Maddox holding his signature Colt Bisley in his left hand. The outlaw was hurt, and bleeding from more wounds than he could remember. Deep down, he knew he was not going to make it out alive. His time had come.

Choctaw smiled as he saw the lawman get to his knees. Suddenly, Maddox turned around quickly to face his foe. Choctaw fired his gun aiming for the head!

The lawman´s head tilted back and everything went dark. Yet he pulled the trigger. And he hit Choctaw in the stomach, sending the gunslinger flying through the air.

Both men were hurt. Maddox gasped for air trying not to loose consciousness.

At the same time, Trinity shot back at the young cowboy Crowe who had challenged him.

BANG!

The bullet crossed Crowe´s forehead, and he saw his whole life flash before him. Everything went silent, and he could hear his own heartbeat. He could see Jack firing at Mayer, and missing.

BOOM!

Jason fired the shotgun barrel of his Lemat revolver, aiming at Mayer.

The shot went wide, but still two pellets hit Mayer. This was the second time the gambler had been fired at with a shot gun, and he had had enough!
