Hey guys! I am back with another chapter of Through Time and Space! Well, this very well could be the last chapter of Through Time and Space I'll ever post. It all depends on the ruling of Net Neutrality. I don't want this to be the last. I don't know what I'll do if I can't post fanfiction and read fanfiction. It's not going to be good I'll tell you that much. Anyways, I'm not listening to any song. On with the chapter!
Gunfighters Part 3
When I woke up from being drugged, we were heading into Tombstone. He took me back where I wanted to go?
"I promised you I would take you back. I'm keeping the promise." Holliday said as he noticed I was awake. I fixed myself on the horse into a more comfortable position.
"Thank you."
"Here, take this." He says handing me a gun. "You're going to say that you held me at gunpoint. I have a reputation to uphold." I take the gun apprehensively. We made our way to the sheriff's station. Holliday helped me off the horse, and we headed inside. Doctor, Wyatt, Masterson, and an unknown man were talking about some fight.
"Oh, this is sheer madness, Mister Sheriff. You can't take on the Clantons and Ringo." I hear the Doctor say as we walk in.
"They won't have to." Holliday says making our presence known.
"Doc! I thought I told you to get outta town." Wyatt says.
"Well, now, Wyatt, so you did, but the fact is I was brung here at gunpoint by a woman." Holliday says nodding towards me. I had my gun pointed at Holliday. I dropped the gun though and went over to the Doctor. He pulled me into a hug.
"You're okay." I whisper.
"I was more worried about you. You were the one kidnapped. Are you okay?" I nodded my head.
"He didn't hurt me. We just went to an inn and stayed there for the night. I even got my own room." I feel the Doctor nod his head and pull away, but he kept an arm around me as I stood at his side.
"Well now, where do we meet these Clantons?" Holliday asks.
"We? Now see here, Wyatt, I don't take kindly to fighting alongside an outlaw, friend of yours or no." The unknown man says.
"Suit yourself, Virgil. I'll just wish you good luck and go off to find my Kate." Holliday turns to leave.
"Oh, you'll find her at the Clantons." Virgil says.
"What's that you say?" Holliday asks as he stops.
"Yeah with Johnny Ringo." Wyatt says.
"Johnny Ringo?" Holliday was getting mad.
"I saw them myself, while or two back." Virgil says.
"I'll be fightin' beside you two tomorrow mornin' whether you like it or not."
"But this is ridiculous, gentlemen. Can you not uphold the law without using firearms?" Doctor asks.
"Well, old friend, now I've got Doc Holliday back. Why, you can hand in your badge any time you want to, Pop." Wyatt says.
"Oh, good heavens, what a relief." Doctor says handing Wyatt a badge. "Here you are, Bat, there's your badge, and there is your wretched weapon!"
"Wyatt, how you proposin' to handle this little Clanton matter?" Holliday asks.
"Well, just walk right up there and face 'em." Wyatt says.
"You reckon old Pa Clanton will play it that simple?"
"Well, they'll reckon they're four to two." Virgil says.
"One of them four is Johnny Ringo. I ain't lining up for no square dance. I'm gonna play this my way."
"So what's your way?" Wyatt asks.
"Yes, what is your way, Doctor Holliday?" Doctor asks. Holliday only winks at us and leaves. "Let's go check on Dodo, Kate." Doctor says. I nod, and we go back to the saloon. Dodo is sitting at the bar when we walk in.
"Kate! Doctor!" She exclaims as she runs to hug us. We hug her and then go back to the bar. We fill her in on what has happened. "Isn't it time you went to bed, Doctor?" Dodo says after we tell her what happened.
"Oh, how can I possibly sleep my dear knowing that Steven is mixed up with all this?" Doctor says.
"I'm quite sure that Steven can take care of himself."
"Yes, but I'm not just worrying about Steven, my dear. What about this man Mister Warp? Supposing he gets killed? Who is going to uphold law and order in his territory? Why they couldn't let Masterson handle the affair. I don't know, with a posse of deputies, and at the end of it let the Clantons get a fair trial."
"Proud to hear you say so, Doctor. If'n you feel the way there're something you can do. I've tried all I know to talk Wyatt out of this, and he won't listen. I'm asking you to go talk to the Clantons. Seems like that's our only chance." Masterson says coming over to us.
"Me? But my dear Sheriff, I should have thought you were the one to convince." Doctor says.
"No, no, they know me for a friend of Wyatt's, but if'n you go to 'em wearing your badge. Say you'll guarantee them a fair trial. It might just persuade 'em. Me, I'd rather face trial than Wyatt, Virgil, and Holliday together."
"Yes, I see."
"And you might be able to help Steven." I say.
"Yes, quite so, my dear. That thought had passed through my head, yes. Well, Mister Sheriff, if you need my assistance I certainly will go along and talk to them."
"Good." Masterson pins the badge on the Doctor. "Now, it's only two hours to sun-up. You'd better get started right now."
"I want to go with you." I say as the Doctor gets up to leave.
"No, I want you to stay here. These people are reckless. I'd feel better if you stay here." I nod my head. Even though the Tardis healed my wound, I was still a little sore, and I'd rather not be shot again. Two times in one adventure takes a toil on a person. The Doctor leaves.
"I'm going to go up and get some sleep." I say. Dodo nods, and I take my leave. I slept for an hour, but then I went back down. "Let's head to the fight." I say to Dodo. She nods, and we head out. When we arrive, gunshots were already going off. The Earps were taking cover, but then we see, who I assume is Ringo, coming towards Holliday.
"Doc, look out!" Dodo exclaims. Holliday turns around, but then Ringo grabs me.
"Well, if it ain't Doc Holliday. Who invited you, Doc?" Ringo asks.
"You did, Ringo. It seems kinda seemly to show up." Holliday says.
"Throw down your gun, or the girl gets it." Doc throws his revolver down. Ringo moves towards where it is, but keeps a tight hold on me as he picks it up. As soon as he starts to bend over though, I give him a hard shove and aim for his crotch. I didn't hit it, but Ringo still goes down. I got out of the way as Holliday grabs the gun and shoots Ringo, but it wasn't a fatal shot.
"I'm sorry Johnny." I hear as I get away from everything. Holliday turns to me after he finishes talking to Ringo.
"Ah now Missy, you sure do perplex me. Go on now, you get the Hell outta here."
"I'm sorry, Doc. I was only trying to help." I say.
"You try to help me any more, you'll be the death of me. Go on!" Me and Dodo take off. We stay one more night, but then in the morning we go to the stable where the Tardis is.
"Why on Earth you want to leave Tombstone, I can't imagine. All the Clantons are dead. Ringo is dead." The Doctor says to Holliday who joined us.
"Masterson ain't." Holliday says.
"Yes, but surely Wyatt Earp-" Steven starts.
"Wyatt Earp is no longer a lawman. Besides, he has killed two Clantons."
"Even so, he's never let a friend down." I say.
"Neither would Masterson."
"Show 'em, Doc." Kate says. Holliday pulls a poster and shows that he is a wanted man with a two thousand dollar reward.
"Ain't nothin' Masterson wouldn't do to oblige a friend." Holliday says.
"Ain't it always the same?" Kate asks.
"Always the same."
"It's a very good likeness." Doctor says.
"It's yours." Holliday says handing it to me.
"Thank you." I say rolling it back up.
"Goodbye to you all. Come along, Kate." I smile as they link arms and leave. I really hope they get married one day.
"It's a terrible, terrible injustice. You know I'm very tempted to-" The Doctor starts.
"Listen!" Dodo says. I didn't hear anything.
"Oh, my dear Dodo, my dear Dodo. You know you're fast becoming a prey to every cliché-ridden convention in the American West, and it's high time we left. Now, come along." Doctor says as we start heading into the Tardis.
"Thank goodness for that." Steven says.
"Come along now." Dodo doesn't follow.
"Oh, but Doctor." Dodo says.
"I don't want to discuss it any further. In you go. Come along!" We go inside and I go to my room to drop off the poster. I come back as we landed, but of course, I start glowing.
"Doctor!" I exclaim coming back into the console room.
"Looks like it is your time to go. This is yours." He says giving me my ring. "Take care, love." Next thing I know, I'm in another Tardis.
To Be Continued...
Well, I hope that was a good last chapter if this is going to be a last chapter. I don't plan on this being the last chapter if the bill about Net Neutrality doesn't pass. I will very much keep this going. Let's just hope it doesn't pass. A friend of mine thinks that it won't get passed the Supreme Court if it does pass in Congress. I sure do hope so. Anyways, I hope you guys have an amazing day! Bye guys!
