A/N: Damn, the last chapter was something. Now, let's get onto the rescuing two individuals. Oh boy, I wonder how that would go… Apology if this took a long time to write. I should really start making a schedule of my writings.

Rescue the Captive

Wendy was riding on a horse through the southwest following on a barren pathway. After what had happened last night, which was still processing on, she was immediately given a new task by Dutch. "Wendy. Would you kindly go to where Javier, Charles, and Trelawny are? They are sure taken their time. Make sure you follow the trail and head southwest from here."

Of course, the young dragon slayer gladly accept it. Though, she wasn't alone. She was riding within Arthur on his horse. Despite what happened the night before, Dutch forced him to go with her. Since she was a newbie, she was grateful to be accompanied by a seasoned outlaw. "Thank you for coming with me, Arthur. Without you, I would have been completely lost to where I am going."

Arthur looked back at her tiredly. "Well, since you are only just a kid, you need supervision. Dutch wanted someone to look after you until you get used to our activities. That and how you are unable to ride a horse properly."

Wendy looked back at him. "You okay Arthur?"

The older outlaw looked back at her. "Just about. Still got a headache from drinking too much last night."

That caused her to look at him with a deadpan expression. "I'm still processing what happened last between you and Lenny. Both of you need to lay off drinks for a while." Arthur had to agree with the kid since he is capable to doing crazy things. Just like how he walked into that room at the saloon. Twice. Moving to another topic, she looked back at him to ask another question. "By the way, where are we going?"

The older outlaw looked at her. "We're going to the outskirts of Blackwater."

The young dragon slayer raised an eyebrow. "Blackwater?"

Arthur saw the look on the young girl's face and knew he had to explain to her why they were heading there. "Yeah. It's a town where we last were. We had to move out due to a job going wrong and left many things there. Even a huge stash of money."

The sky dragon slayer took interest by this statement. "Why did you leave something that was beneficial to the gang, Arthur?"

The outlaw knew he had to tell her the reason. At the moment, it wasn't exactly the right time. "Well, let's just say that I tell you at another time. Is that alright?"

"Okay," The young girl replied.

Time quickly went by and the two saw Charles and Javier looking at the town of Blackwater though a binocular while proning. They both got off from the horse and levelled themselves in between the two. "Hey." Arthur greeted his companions.

"Hey." Charles responded back to him.

"Where is that little Irish bastard?" Arthur asked while he looked at the town which seems to have heavy police presence.

"I'm not quite sure. Trelawny's off trying to find out." The Native American cooly responded.

"Has anyone been into Blackwater to see how things lie?" The older outlaw asked.

"Place is crawling with Pinkertons... bounty hunters... pictures of Dutch and Hosea." Javier pointed out. Wendy caught the wind of the word 'Pinkertons' and from hearing what she heard from the way the Hispanic outlaw spoke, she seemed to be a formidable organization.

"We got a lot of money sitting in that town." She overheard Arthur reminding the group.

Javier knew how Arthur felt on the fortune left in that town. Yet, he knew it is going to be reckless to get it. "And that's where it's gonna remain, for now." He advised his older comrade.

Arthur then takes Charles' binoculars before he watches over the heavily patrolled town. "Why haven't they hanged Sean, I wonder?"

" I think he's bait..." Charles guessed, "or they want to trial him publicly." That made the young dragon slayer gulp at the thought of seeing their friend's corpse hanged in a noose.

Wendy sniffed a few times and knew who was coming. "Gentlemen… and young Lady." Trelawny greeted the group as he stood behind them. "Sean is being moved up the Upper Montana... then to a federal prison out west."

"Damn." Arthur suddenly let a cursed upon that information relayed to them. "Well, we can't be rescuing people from some federal prison. We either rescue him now or... cut him loose." Hearing this caused Wendy to gap.

Charles looked at his fellow outlaw. "We're not cutting anyone loose."

"Of course not." Arthur spoke with assurance, making Wendy sigh in relief.

"Ike Skelding's boys are moving him to a camp nearby... before handing him over to the government." The magician informed the group.

"So, I guess... we need to stop them before they get to camp." Arthur guessed before looking over to Charles. "Charles, why don't you head up on the north side... and then we'll head up on the other side of the valley and meet you... that way we have them either direction." He immediately leaves to do his task. Now, all that was left was for the others to do their part. Javier, Josiah, Wendy, come on. Let's go see."

"Hold on!" Wendy spoke, grabbing everyone's attention. "Can I go with Mr. Charles?"

The veteran outlaw was about to speak up when he remember she had enhanced smell, hearing, and strength. "Fine. You can go. But don't expect him to look after you along the way."

-Scene Change-

Charle looked at the bottom of the lack. He saw a small steamboat unloading a bunch of bounty hunters along with a man with a bag over his head. He narrowed his eyes since he had a feeling it was their man. "Mr. Charles…" He turned to the side and saw Wendy rubbing her nose after letting out a few sniffs. "What does this Mr. Sean smell like? Because I could only smell the scent of someone who hasn't cleaned for weeks and alcohol."

"That description Sean, alright." The half-native American replied before looking down. The two saw the bag being pulled off to reveal a man with a medium-length ginger hair who was then tossed onto the ground. "That's definitely Sean." He looked at the other side to see Arthur, Javier, and Trelawny before waving at them.

Once he sent his signal, he looked over to the kid. "We better move. C'mon." The young Dragon Slayer did so and proceeded to follow him.

The two proceeded to walk at the fast pace when…

*BOOM*

The young dragon slayer immediately looked at her side. She immediately knew what this meant. "Was that gunfire?!"

"Yes," Charles immediately responded as he grabbed his bow from his back. "I think we're about to fight our way through."

Sure enough, the duo entered a canyon and immediately encountered many bounty hunters. They proceeded to open fire on the two, where they immediately ducked behind a rock for cover. "Uh, so, what's the plan Mr. Charles!?" The Young Dragon Slayer questioned before hearing four gunshots and four people fell onto the ground. She looked up to see Charles firing his revolver at them. "Never mind."

Just then, more bounty hunters started to come, Wendy had no choice but to fight unarmed. She wasn't really keen on killing people. Even though they are some form of authority. She immediately rushed from her position and set her eyes upon a nearby Bounty Hunter before tackling him to the ground.

The Bounty Hunter tried to break free by pushing his Lever Action Rifle against het. Yet, she did the same thing and he felt as though a giant bolder is crushing him. "Just how strong is this little girl!?" That was his last thought before receiving a punch onto the face, which knocked him out.

Wendy looked back at the unconscious bounty hunter with pity. Though, she didn't dwell on it for too long as she heard a gun cocking towards her. She lift her head to see another Bounty Hunter pointing his Carbine Repeater to her. Right as he was about to pull the trigger, he was then shot in the head by Charles, who looked at her side. "Don't get distracted kid."

"R-right." She said while stuttering, ignoring the carnage before her.

After aiding Charles by knocking any Bounty Hunter that came close to her, they both proceed to run to meet with the others. They eventually see Arthur and Javier running towards them with the latter pointing out to them. "Here's Wendy and Charles."

"All good?" The Half-Native American asked.

"Wouldn't go that far." Arthur responded while loading new cartridges into his Cattleman Revolver.

"Their camp's up this way, come on." Charle spoke as he looked on ahead.

The four proceeded to make their way to the camp, they saw hanging around the ankle while fifteen bounty hunters surrounds him. Along with an additional two in a viewing area nearby. Seeing the layout of it planned to the Hispanic Outlaw. "Charles, you take the right, I'll go left."

Charles nodded his head. "Okay." He went to the direction he was told while Javier went to the left.

Wendy and Arthur proceeded to head forward but not before a hail of bullets flew right past them. This made them couch a bit as they were lucky to take cover behind a pile of tree logs. Arthur peaked out and saw how many were firing at the group. " Goddamn army of these bastards. How much is Sean's bounty?" He asked.

"Maybe we should turn him in ourselves." Charles suggested as he shot a Bounty Hunter in the head, which made the young dragon slayer shook her head.

Without wasting anymore time, Wendy slipped away from the group and proceeded to engaged the bounty Hunters inn front of her. She tackled one to the ground and punched him hard in the face, which then knocked him down. Seeing another aiming a repeater towards her position, she picked the unconscious bounty hunter before hurling it towards him. This causes the other to fire up unto the air before being punched on the face which proceeded to knock him out.

Arthur and the other gang members could only watch in awe at the ferocity the Young Dragon Slayer displayed. The same could be said for the Bounty Hunters who aimed their guns at her. "Do I shoot her?" One of them in the nearby tower asked.

"Of course, shoot her! She's with them!"

The bounty Hunter wasted no time aiming his weapon at the young girl. Right as he was about to fire, Arthur saw this and aimed his Cattleman revolver at the two. In just a split second, he fire two rounds that directly shot the man through his skull, killing them in an instant. Wendy heard the gunshots and turned to look at him, who then does the same thing. "Don't get distracted, kid. We're still fighting!"

"I don't think that would be a problem." Javier pointed out as he and the others looked at the remaining bounty Hunters that started to flee. "They're starting to run away. Okay... let's get Sean."

"Takes an army of bounty hunters to bring in Sean Macguire." A voice called out. Wendy realised that Sean Was still hanging around the ankle while he faced the rest. "Would ya help me, Young Missy?"

"R-Right!" She nodded as she easily pulled him off the ropes and onto the ground. He was eventually helped by Arthur but eventually cut his bindings off.

"You know... you're a lot less ugly from that other angle, Arthur." Sean commented.

"Come on." The veteran Outlaw spoke as he helps him get to his feet.

Seeing the situation they are in, the recently freed outlaw thought it would be a good time for a reunion. " Do I get a hug, Arthur? A warm embrace for a lost brother, now found?"

This causes Arthur to laugh as he places a hand on Sean's shoulder. "You know... nothing means more to me than this gang. The bond we share... it's the most real thing to me. I would kill for it, I would happily die for it... but in spite of all that... I would have easily left you here to rot... if Charles hadn't stopped me."

"Ahem." Both Arthur and Sean looked at the "Henna" haired girl who had the look of feeling left out.

The older outlaw realised this and looked back at his brother-in-arms. "And also Wendy. Which reminds me. Sean, this is our newest member, Wendy Marvel. And Wendy, this is Sean Maguire."

Sean looked at the kid and waved at her. "Nice to meet you, Young Missy."

Wendy smiled at him. "And it is nice to see you, Mr. Maguire."

Arthur only shook. As much as he wants to be a nice reunion, he knew that they didn't have enough time for it. "Get him out of here." He pushed the man to the side before he looked at both Javier and Charles.

"You're a great man, Arthur Morgan... the kind a young whippersnapper can really admire." The Irishman reminded him.

"Oh shut up." Arthur spoke with a dismissive tone. "Right, we should split up. Javier, will escort Mr. Macguire back to camp. Charles, best you ride separately. Be careful, there's patrols everywhere. And Wendy, you should go with them."

"What about you?" Javier questioned him.

"I'm gonna see what's worth taking here. I'll meet you back there as soon as I can." Arthur replied while looking at the dead/unconscious bounty hunters that lied on the ground.

"Actually, I want to stay with Mr. Arthur." Wendy announced as she knew Arthur had another job to do.

"Alright. Okay, come on." The Hispanic outlaw uttered before he walked to the sides with Charles and Sean as they whistled to call their horses to head back to camp.

"Have I got stories for you..." Sean began to say.

"Yeah... I can't wait." Javier just cheered in sarcasm.

"I imagine you all missed me a lot... but fear not, the joy's back in your lives now." As he was about to begin his story, Sean was eventually cut off as he, Javier, and Charles began to ride out. This left Arthur and Wendy alone in the camp.

Arthur thought of looting the bodies when he was interrupted. "Uh, Mr. Arthur…" The outlaw just groaned. He glances to the side and saw Wendy looking at him while tilting her head. "Since you have rescued Mr. Sean, isn't it now to save Mr. Micah?"

"Fine." The veteran outlaw immediately responded with irritation. He proceeded to whistle his horse, which somehow came to his side in just a second. Arthur climbed onto his horse before he let out a hand to help the young girl. "Come on. We're gonna rescue him now."

Gold Objective

[X] Don't kill any of the Bounty Hunters

…

A/N: Yeah, that is the only gold objective I can think of. All I have to say…oh boy, the next one will be something that will rattle the young dragon slayer. Again, I should thank animedevilluvzyuri for helping me with the ideas.
