Chapter 10: Fighting the Clock Pt 2.

Keith Blake was a simple young man who grew up with a strict father who was an Army Ranger in World War II and his mother was caring to him, but Keith never felt something to his parents. He loved them and he had a huge respect for his father for what he did, but there was something he felt like he need from a young age. That was when he saw his first John Wayne movie,the Duke made him feel wonder when he saw him act in his way on screen. Keith continued to watch his movies, waiting for them to come out so he would be one of the first in the theater so he could get a front row seat. He saved what little money he could until he could wear an outfit the Duke would have been proud to wear himself. But it was not until he met Kite, a young man a few years older then him show up and offer him something to make him better then the Duke. Keith took this chance and he was soon gifted his revolvers from Kite, along with his Stand, Rhinestone Cowboy. He was Kite's gunman and he felt like he was needed.


Keith groaned out loud and laid on the ground, trying to get to his feet while the guy look down at him with a grin on his face.

"You really just need to tell me where they are and I'll stop this." he said walking around Keith,watching the energy drain out of him and struggled to get off the ground. "Why do you keep trying to get..." the guy was cut off with Keith moving to the side and fired a few rounds at him from his revolver. He moved away, but one of the bullets grazed his left ear and he covered it.

"Because q-quitting i-is out of the question." Keith said forcing himself up to one knee and then to his feet, nearly losing his balance as he did. But he caught himself and looked right the guy as they clock read, 05:37:09. Keith forced himself to stand up right and looked at the guy, who was holding his ear and a few drops of blood fell to his legs as he glared at him.

"Damn it, that hurt you little shit." he yelled out of announce holding his ear until it stopped bleed and looked at him thinking, 'How could he still have the energy to stand after half his time nearly gone?'

"Like I care when you attack my town." Keith said confusing the guy for a few moments as Keith focused as hard as he could, until Rhinestone Cowboy appeared again looking right at the guy. Who was left shocked and summoned Final Countdown when Rhinestone took hold of one of it knives, throwing it at him and Final Countdown dodged it.

"Ha, is that all you got?" the guy asked smirking with Final Countdown pulling back its arms and began to throw all over Rhinestoen Cowboy, causing Keith to cough up more blood and falling to the ground. Keith slowly got to his elbows and looking at the guy while Rhinestone began to fade with him losing even more energy from it as the clock had reached 05:00:00. "Half of your life has been taken and you still think you could beat me?' the guy asked walking towards him and kicking Keith hard in the stomach, causing him to yell out in pain and rolled a few feet in the dirt landing on his front.

"D-damn it." Keith said trying to stand up and held his revolver in his hand, but he had trouble lifting it and his hand was shaking hard.

"See, you can't even hold you little guns any more." the guy said walking towards him and Keith gritted his teeth, forcing his arm up and fired a few shots. But his hand was so shaky, they went all over the place and the guy was left untouched by them. "Your pathetic." he said unleashing a onslaught of punches from Final Countdown, hitting Keith several times by the punches and making him fall back to the ground.

"S-shit, I-I can't move my hands." Keith said looking at him hand and saw the revolver fall to the ground much to his shock. Keith tried to reach for his other one, but saw his arm was not moving the way he wanted it to much to his horror.

"You seem to be running out of time." the guy said laughing at his commit, looking at Keith seeing the clock was at 04:23:46 and he felt he had this as his opponent taken cared of with him withering on the ground. Keith slowly reached his shaky hand out and put it on the revolver, focusing on closing his hand around it. "What do you think your doing?" the guys asked looking at him with a smug look on his face looking down at him and stepping a few feet towards him, leaning over him.

"This!" Keith yelled turning around and throwing his revolver at the guy, catching him off guard and hitting him square in the face. The guy yelled out loud holding his nose and stumbling away from Keith, who forced himself to his knee again and was panting heavily from the energy drain.

"You fucking asshole!" the guy screamed moving his hand away from his face, revealing a bad bruise on his face and a little blood from his nose. "I was going to easy on you thinking i could get you to cave." The guy paused slowly walking towards Keith and Keith's eyes widen when he saw the crazed look on his face when he continued, "But as of this moment, I'm going to fucking kill you."

"S-so, your finally taking me seriously?" Keith asked smirking forcing himself up to his feet, only to fall to his knees and wince from hitting his knees on the ground.

"No, you just pissed me off enough for me too stop caring on getting the info from you." he answered him walking towards the struggling Keith and swiftly kicking him hard into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him and then Final Countdown began to pummel Keith's back. Forcing his face into the ground and continues punches as they guy laughed at him being beaten. After a few moments, Final Countdown stopped and picked Keith up by his arms. The clock on his chest read, 03:33:41 and the guy smiled, pulling his own fist back and then began to punch Keith square in the face. He repeated this for a few more times, bludgeoning him and leaving his face bruised as Keith looked at him through his black eyes. "How's the resolve you have now?" the guy asked mockingly leaning closer to him and grabbed Keith by his brown hair, forcing him to look at him and then Keith spat in his face.

"How's that for an answer?" Keith asked him smirking while the guy wiped the spit off his face and then punched him hard into his stomach, causing him to cough a few more times of blood then Final Countdown slammed him into the ground hard.

"Your just trying to piss me off." the guy said snarling lifting up his foot and slammed his foot into Keith's back, making him yell in pain before he repeated it a few more times, soaking in every yell he got from Keith's pain and enjoyed it view much. "Oh, that's music to my ears for all the trouble you caused me." he said kicking him again hard in the side and made him roll over onto his back with a groan, seeing the clock was at 02:11:02. "Looks like our time is almost up." the guy said smirking and kicking Keith again, only this time Keith wrapped his arm around him and tripped him to make him fall onto the ground hard.

"I'm not done yet." Keith said punching the cut on his leg and making the guy yell in pain before Final Countdown again, punching Keith in the arm till he let the guy go and the moved away from him wincing from his punching to his leg. Keith rolled to his stomach and began to head towards the revolver that he had thrown earlier. He was finger tips away when the guys show stomped on his hand.

"You really think that was enough to get me down?" the guy asked digging his heel into Keith's hand, making him yelled in pain while picking up the revolver. Checking the barrel, she began to chuckle and throw it down saying, "It's empty you idiot." Keith heard that and began to chuckle out of no where, making the guy annoyed and dug his heel deeper in his hand to make him stop laughing. But Keith just winced and laughed louder, pissing the guy off as he summoned Final Countdown and made him pick Keith up with his arms spread out asking, "What's so funny?"

"Y-you remember t-the knife i threw?" Keith asked him battered and bruised, yet smiling with blood running down his face.

"The one i dodged?" the guy asked him confused and looked at him Keith, who never stopped smirking and it really annoyed the guy. Slapping him hard across the face, he glared at Keith yelling, "ANSWER ME NOT YOU PUNK ASS BASTARD!"

"I-I've b-been focusing on it and n-not summoning my Stand." Keith said making the guy's eyes widen and grabbing him by the neck.

"Why do that?" he asked him furious as he started to chock Keith and glared at him, wanting to know the answer to his question,, which Keith answered, but he couldn't be heard. "What?" the guy asked him letting go of his throat to hear him.

"It acts like a boomerang." Keith said, leaving the guy confused until the knife suddenly dug its way through the back of his neck. He remained there, stunned from this when blood sprayed out of his neck and painted his white suit red. Final Countdown began to fade as the guy looked at the clock on Keith chest, it read 00:05:43.

"I-i w-w-w-was g-going t-t-to win." he said falling forward onto the ground with Final Countdown fade away with Keith falling down next to him, looking at his opponent as the ground became damp from the blood continuing to leave the hole in his neck. Keith looked down to see the clock vanish too and he let out a sigh of relief leaning back against the dumpster.

"Y-yeah, but i had a b-better resolve." he said leaning down and passing out from the assault he went through, a small smile on his face as he was proud he was able to protect his friends from the enemy and that he kept his word to always have Kite's back even if it meant death.
