Calm time, silent time
BANG BANG BANG
Judge: Please be seated.
The court room sat back down, but the anger was still on their faces. Toro looked angerly at the man in the orange jump suit covered in scratches. It had been a week since...the incident, and the rage was still at a high boil. He turned beside him to the family and the small boy, crying in his mothers arms.
Judge: You do know you are here today under the charges of kidnap and murder. Do you understand that?
Killer: Shut up...
sheriff: HE IS THE JUDGE!
Judge: Calm down...we had the families of the victims come and the the child who was there, Samuel, told us all that happened.
Killer: So, your taking the word a child.
Judge: No...I'm going to hear and take the words from our Rusher.
The doors opened.
One week ago,
Police sirens blared and flash. Samuel was crying into an officers arms as the killer was taking in.
Police 1: Don't worry, your are now...you'll be fine.
Samuel: *Crying* N-Not until I know my friend is okay.
Police 1: Sweetheart...Elena died, remember.
Samuel: N-Not Elena...L-Lasso.
Everyone froze.
Police Chief: Lasso is-EVERYONE SEARCH THE AREA!
Police 2: Wait! Look!
Something limped towards the light. Blood trickled down his arm, he was bruised up and had small slash marks around him. Everyone gasped when he finally came into view.
Lasso: *Panting* B-Basement...O-One more...
Lasso eyes rolled up and he collapse onto the ground.
Present...
sheriff: Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
Lasso: As truthful as ever sir.
Lasso was bandage up, his arm in a sling and a look of determination on his face.
Judge: Lasso, what happened last week?
Lasso: I went to a party in place of a friend, one of my former player. I met Samuel who was scared and heared the young women Elena scream and the killer walked out with a bloody knife. Through the hours me and Sam ran and hid from the killer to the point we hid in the basement...where his departed wife was chained to the wall. We escaped the house and I told Sam to call the cops while I held the killer off.
Killer: No proof! You have no proof of the invitation.
Lasso: *Scoffs* Well I make sure I keep the invites in case of such situation. *Takes it out* You don't think I wouldn't be prepared for stuff like this.
Judge: And...*Points to Lasso's arm and the killer* All this.
Lasso turned to the killer. He had gaze and wounds all over him. Needless to say, Lasso distracted him all right...
One week ago,
Killer: DIE ALREADY!
He slashed Lasso on the arm as he duck under him. Lasso gripped his arm in pain as he saw the killer coming.
Lasso: *Sighs* Wish I brought my lasso...guess I have no choice.
Lasso reached behind him and pulled out a white shooter with dark blue highlights, he aimed and a star bullet blasted out of it. It bursted into smaller stars and some hit the killer. He growled in pain.
Killer: So you do have a gun...I wonder if you really were the full package for that team.
Lasso: *Gets up* Didn't anyone tell you what kind of person I am...I am a person who seeks Justice for lives destoried from folks like you!
More star bullets blasted from Lasso. He continued this before he tripped over a root and fell into the hedge. The killer got up and that's when the cops arrive.
Present...
Toro: Lasso, you used Star Trigger?
Lasso flinched. He never used his shooter, Star Trigger, but he only uses it when when things were beyond fixing and the danger was extremely high.
Lasso:-Yes.
The crowd whisper amongst eachother in surprise, even Toro was shock. It was rare for Lasso to 'Use the trigger'. So to hear that he had too use it in defense, it was proof that this man in the room was guilty. The judge hit his gavel and the room went calm.
Judge: Order...It is clear that the accuse is indeed guilty of all charges.
Killer: WHAT?! YOU BELIEVE HIM!?
Judge: -Sighs- It is well known that the Cowboys Rusher does have a shooter...HOWEVER, he rarely uses it unless necessarily. To know he had to use it to defend himself, and given how you came out...it is full PROOF to sentence you to life in prison for murder. Dismiss! *Hits gavel*
The killer was taken away. Toro saw Lasso leave quickly and went after him.
Outside...
Toro saw Lasso sitting on the stairs, hand covering his face.
Toro: *Walks over* Lasso...*Sits down* Are you going to be okay?
Lasso looked up, tears were pricked in his eyes.
Lasso: I didn't want to do it...but he gave me no choice...Samuel, the poor kid he-
Toro: You saved his life, I know you get bad memories from...Star Trigger, but you manage to stop him.
Lasso sighed...The shooter was his fathers, it was the only thing along with his lasso that survived that fire that took his parents away from him. Every time he looked at it, that memory would appear again.
Lasso: I know. I just-even after all these years, I still can't get over it.
Toro: I know..I know.
Lasso: At least I ended that man's terror.
Toro smiled warmly.
Toro: *Gets up* Come on, lets get going. I'm sure the others are wondering how you are doing after all this.
Lasso looked up and smile. He might had lost his parents, but at least he still had the others. Lasso got up and the two walked away.

END
