Confronting Bulloney and Terrorbull-chapter10
"Yeah, well, it ain't over till the fat bull sings. And I know what tune you're gonna be humming, pardner." Moo replied, motioning Dakota and Cowlorado. The two cowboys got Miss Lily and Cowlamity safely behind some large boulders.
Terrorbull pulled out his gun. Moo took out his gun and hid behind large boulders. Both cowboys exchanged fire . Moo fired star shaped bullets from his gun. He shot the gun out of Terrorbull's hoofed hand.
"Bulloney still has Laura!" Cowlorado cried out, "I gotta help her!"
"Wait, Kid!" Moo told him. But the young, impulsive young cow was already gone.
...
"You'll never get away with this!" Laura told Bulloney, who half dragged her away from the scene towards the edge of the Mesa.
"Oh, I think I will, dear girl. As long as I have you in my grasp, Marshall Moo and his meddling posse can't touch me." Bulloney bragged.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew upon the Mesa. It was so strong the inhabitants had a difficult time staying on their feet.
"I don't remember the Mesa being this windy before." He said, turning around and seeing something purple swirling around in a circle, "What in the blue blazes is...?"
At the same moment, Bulloney lost his grip on the gun and Laura for a minute. That gave Cowlorado enough time time to tackle the unscrupulous ex-mayor of Cow Town.
"The portal! It's come back!" Laura said
"Get to safety, Miss Laura! I'll hold off this blackhearted skunk!" Cowlorado told her.
"I'm not leaving without you, Cowlorado." She replied.
"No time to argue!" He pushed her back.
Everyone stared at it in awe at the portal. Moo had quickly grabbed Laura and got her behind the boulders with the other two ladies.
"What in tarnation...?" Cowlamity Kate Cudster asked in amazement.
"It sure is pretty."
"Out of my way!" Dr. Morris cried out, suddenly appearing behind a rock and running towards it. A large blue bull soon tackled him to the ground.
"Let me go, you fool! That portal is my ticket out of this God forsaken place!"
"Stay down, you blooming idiot!" Dakota told him, "We're in a gun fight!"
Saddle Sore and Boot Hill Buzzard joined Terrorbull in shooting at Moo and his friends. Dr. Morris struggled and squirmed to get free to no use. Dakota held him firmly. Within seconds, both Saddle Sore and Boot Hill Buzzard both had their guns shot out of their hands by Dakota and Moo.
...
Cowlorado continued to wrestle Bulloney for the gun.
"Surrender, Bulloney!" Cowlorado shouted, as he wrestled with the mayor
Both of them fought for possession of the gun which suddenly went off. Cowlorado took the last ounce of strength he had to knock out the mayor. The young cowboy stumbled back as if he was suddenly stunned. He looked down to see a smoking hole and blood staining his shirt. He then sunk to his knees.
"KID!" Dakota cried out.
Moo ran to the young cow quickly.
"Cowlorado? Talk to me." Moo said.
"Moo...I..." Then his eyes closed. He fell out and lost consciousness
The marshall grabbed him to keep him from falling to the ground. Laura ran and knelt down. She quickly ripped open his shirt.
"He's been shot. That bullet's got to be remove immediately or he'll die." She told him.
...
Soon, Cowlorado was taken to Doc Ram who with Laura's help removed the bullet. Moo, Miss Lily, Dakota, and Cowlamity Kate sat in the waiting room. Everyone was anxious about Cowlorado's condition. Soon the doctor and Laura came out to them.
"How's Cowlorado, doc?" Moo asked.
"I've removed the bullet but he's lost a lot of blood. He's going to need a blood transfusion." Doc Ran said.
"A what?" Dakota said.
"He means your blood can save his life." Laura explained.
"Then count me in." Moo said, "I'll give my last drop of blood if it'll save Cowlorado."
"No, I'll do it!" Dakota said, "If it'll save the Kid's life."
"I'll do it!" Miss Lily said, hand up.
"Sign me up!" Cowlamity joined in.
"Hold on. You have to have the same blood type as Cowlorado. He's type O positive. We need someone with that same blood type."
Moo and Dakota's blood was soon tested. The doctor and Laura found that they had the same blood type as Cowlorado and were able to save him.
The young cowboy was soon laying down comfortably in bed. An oxygen mask over his nose and mouth.
"Now he just has to rest." The doctor told them all.
Everyone in Cow Town soon heard what had happened to Cowlorado. They all came in droves to provide comfort and support to the beloved cowboy. Cowlorado, like Moo and Dakota, was well liked in Cow Town. Everyone was used to him pulling out his guitar and playing a sweet melody while he sang. Now there was only silence.
When the town learned that Mayor Bulloney shot Cowlorado, they turned against him and removed him from being mayor even though Bulloney kept swearing up and down that it was an accident. He along with Terrorbull, Saddle Sore, and Boot Hill Buzzard were locked up in the jailhouse. Moo was more than happy to put them away. Dakota glared at the mayor like he wanted to kill him.
"Don't think you can keep me in this jail cell, marshall. I will get out and I'll have your job given to Terrorbull here!" Bulloney cried out.
"You're not getting out of this one, Mr. Mayor!" Moo replied, sarcastically, "You're through in this town! You and your gang! And I'm going personally see that you never become mayor in any town in this whole territory!"
"Be lucky all he's doing is putting you in jail, Bulloney after what you did to the Kid!" Dakota frowned, slamming his hoofs together, "If it were up to me..."
"Now, now, simmer down, Dakota. The law will deal with that underhanded snake." Moo told him.
