Chapter 7. The Wild West
Lord Fear sat in front of his organ, tapping the keys with one of his bony fingers. Staff Head stood beside him. "Don't feel bad my lord, even tough she tried her best...our Lady Illusion couldn't withstand the might of Ace Lightning" he said. "My lady failed me...but I will not punish her" said Lord Fear "I think it's time that I unleash my secret weapon...but let's see how Lightning and Sparx deal, in the wild west".
Ace and Sparx were walking down a rocky path, beside a ravine. They came to a wooden, rotting post. It said: The Ghost Canyon, Dead Hotel ahead!
Sparx groaned. "Come on Ace, this is boring!" she moaned "Let's go and kicked Lord Fear's behind!". "Sorry Sparx, we still have to find Random and the other pieces of the amulet" said Ace. Then they heard gunfire and a group of dead looking cowboys appeared and began firing bullets. Ace and Sparx battled them and soon disarmed the cowboys and then threw them off into the dark depths of the canyon. "That was easy!" said Sparx, as she stepped back onto the Lightning Flash. The two past a cactus which suddenly grew a green face. The cactus stumbled off after them. Ace looked back, but there was no one in sight. "Are you alright Ace?" asked Sparx. "I think we're being followed..." said Ace. The two continued on, and the cactus man who was called Cactus Man, walked off after them. Ace turned around again and saw Cactus Man coming. He leapt forward and tackled the freak to the ground. The cacti then exploded and threw Ace against the rocky wall.
Later, the Lightning Knights came to a run down hotel. Above the doors was a flashing electric sign that had words "The Dead Hotel", on it. Ace and Sparx looked at eachother and then entered the building. They entered a bar where many zombie cowboys sat playing cards. A ghost of a can can dancer danced on a stage and a zombie waiter cleaned mugs at the bar. All in the room looked up at ace and Sparx. The cowboys suddenly got out their shotguns and fired at the knights. Ace unleashed a lightning ball at the cowboys, making them flee. The zombie waiter threw revolting food that resembled bird droppings at Sparx. She dodged it and beheaded the zombie with her sword. The Can Can Ghoul shrieked and flew away. The cowboys jumped around and tried to tackle Ace, only to fall through the floor. Eventually the room was empty, apart from from Ace, Sparx and the waiter's head which constantly rolled around the floor. Ace and Sparx entered a giant room where they saw Anvil waiting for them. "Anvil! What are you doing here?" shouted Ace. "Anvil here to crush puny Lightning Knights" said Anvil. Then from the ceiling, a gigantic cowboy made from sand, landed on the ground, making Ace fall over. "Let Anvil introduce you to Giant George!" said Anvil. The giant cowboy charged forward, hoping to crush Ace and Sparx. Ace fired a lightning bolt, but it bounced right off and hit Anvil. Sparx fired a lightning bolt, which bounced off George and hit Anvil again. George scooped up Ace and began to squeeze him.
Sparx ran towards Anvil and fired electricity at him. Anvil deflected it. Anvil them punched Sparx and sent her flying to the stone floor. Ace managed to break free from George's grip and fire a lightning ball in his sandy face. The giant cowboy groaned and moaned and then fell apart. A amulet piece fell from the land and Ace caught it. Anvil gulped and fled. Meanwhile, Lord Fear stood in a room where a shadowed figure stood, surrounded by chains. "Time to release you, my secret weapon" said Lord Fear "Go and destroy Ace Lightning and Sparx, and bring me the amulet piece they have". The figure then broke free from his chains and moved towards Lord Fear. "Yes master..." said the figure, his red eye glowing brightly. "That's the spirit...Random Virus! Hahahahaha!" said Lord Fear and cackled hysterically as lightning flashed through the windows, revealing a quick glimpse of the figure: Lightning Knight--Random Virus!!!!
