Sorry, I haven't updated in while. I was waiting for my Zatch Bell graphic novel. Still hasn't come yet. Anyways, thanks for all those nice reviews! I made this chapter a little bit longer.
Disclaimer: I only own Mystique and her chimera thing.
Chapter: 5"Any last words, Sam?" Arrow said, pressing harder on the trigger. Sam didn't say anything. "Nothing? Fine!" She yelled at him. She pulled the trigger. However, Sam had fooled her. Just when the arrow was about to launch, Sam quickly punched her in the stomach, causing her to fall on her back. The arrow shot into the sky. Seconds later, it bursted into a net and instead of capturing Sam, it fell on Arrow, pinning her to the ground.
Sam walked to her with his second pistol pointing to her head. "Well, Arrow," He said, pressing lightly on the trigger, "It looks like you lost your touch." She smiled at him. "You forget, Sam. I'm not the only bounty hunter in town!"
When Stranger heard that, he knew that she needed help. He quickly loaded his crossbow with a chippunk and some fuzzles. He shot the chippunk a few feet away from Sam. Its annoying jabbering got his attention. He ran toward it and started stomping at it. With Sam busy, Stranger shot a few fuzzles at Arrow. When they landed on her, they started biting through the net. After they freed her, the fuzzles vanished. Sam was still distracted by the chippunk, so Stranger waved at Arrow. She saw him and quickly ran toward him. She sat next to him behind the barrels. "So what's the plan, Stranger?" She asked, while loading her crossbow with arrows. She took out a second crossbow and loaded it, too. With both crossbows loaded, she asked again, "Hello, Stranger. What is the plan? Sooner or later, that chippunk is going to get crushed by Sam and he'll come looking for us."
Stranger didn't say anything; instead he was staring at her. Her poncho was blowing up again, revealing her seductive bust. The second she found out that he was staring; she got angry and slapped him, which brought him to his senses. She yelled at him. "Hello! There's a crazy outlaw out there that we need to bring down before he could hurt anybody, and you're just sitting there staring like some pervert!" He just gave her a nervous laugh.
Suddenly, they heard a bang sound. They peeked out from the barrels and saw that Sam had shot the chippunk. He pointed his pistol to them. "Sorry to interrupt your love fest, lovebirds, but I got bone to pick with you!" He yelled to them.
Arrow jumped out from behind the barrels and yelled back to him. "We are not lovebirds!"
Now that she was out in the open, Sam quickly shot a bullet at her. She pointed her crossbow at the bullet. But just when she was about to take a shot, Stranger jumped from behind the barrels and pushed her to the ground. Both of them dodged the bullet, which exploded behind them. Arrow pushed him off. "What is your problem? I can handle him! Besides, I already set a trap!"
'You did?"
"Duh! And it should go off right about now!"
Suddenly, there was a loud cracking sound coming out of nowhere. After that, a menacing roar came. The ground started shaking under Sam. Seconds later, a giant tentacle with dozens of smaller tentacles at the tip plowed through the surface and quickly coiled around Sam's waist. When the smaller tentacles touched his body, the slime oozing from the tentacles paralyzed him.
Just after that, the creature attached to the tentacles dug through the surface. When it came out, it turns out that the tentacle was its tongue. The creature looked like a big saber tooth tiger, big enough to ride on. It had the front arms of a mole and its hind legs look like bird feet with very sharp talons. It also had huge bird wings, a serpent for a tail, and piercing red cat eyes. It wore a saddle with the letter 'M' engraved on the buckle.
Arrow walked up to Sam. "What's the matter, Sam? Cat got your tongue?" She taunted. He was so paralyzed that he couldn't move his mouth. She spoke to the creature. "Chimera, drop him." It obeyed her and dropped Sam in front of her. She began digging in his pockets until she found a yellow shard. "The power of explosion." She said to herself as she slipped it into her pocket. She glared at him and in a flash, she stabbed him in the neck with a dagger, killing him. She turned to Stranger. "I'm sorry for killing him. I know outlaws here are worth more alive than dead. But he deserved it." She said. "By the way, don't call me Arrow. My real name is Mystery, but just call me Mysti for short."
Before he could say anything, he heard two gunshots coming from behind. Suddenly, he felt one bullet shot into his right arm and another into his back. He didn't scream in pain, but he did blackout. "Stranger!" Mysti called out, as he fell to the ground. She looked around to see where the bullets came from. She saw two gunners running away on the rooftops. "Not exactly what I had in mind. But they were definitely late." She thought. "Well, they did their job…sort of. Now I got to continue with the plan."
Okay, I now got a sort of a writer's block, so could you guys out there give me a few ideas?
