The two men rode out into the sea of sand and heat known as the desert. Their horses rushed through towards danger with righteous indignation.
"I still don't trust you." Sheriff Arn said
"You don't have to. Lyri's calling the shots here old man." Al shot back
"I'm fifty years old. Don't call me old because you never had a chance of living to this age."
"I could've easily lived to fifty if I hadn't been betrayed by those rascals.
Don't worry I'm gonna make sure they pay dearly for what they did to me."
"With a Goddess on your side, I don't see how you could fail."
The two men continued for at least another mile in silence when Al asked.
"Hey! You ever heard about my good friend Pak Willows?"
"The bank robber? The one who got hanged?" Arn asked in return
"Yeah. You know he told me he had hidden a lot of his treasure out near this old mine. After we kill"
"We can't come in planning to kill them. You're a lawman now."
"No. I'm literally on a mission to kill and you're with me so you're technically on a mission to kill."
"We are not out to kill these guys. Your targets are a different scenario. They would've gotten the death penalty anyway."
"Whatever helps you rationalize it in your mind."
They reached the old abandoned mine to find a few horses outside. Coming out of the mineshaft were two men carrying shotguns with bandanas on.
"Them your friends?" Sheriff Arn asked
"Hell naw. I don't know every two bit thief that prowls this desert. Only the good ones." Al answered
Al pulled his gun out of its holster and asked
"So you're not going to wait for reinforcements? We're just going to go in just the two of us?"
"Back when I was younger I killed an entire camp of bandits not too dissimilar from these poor boys. The two of us should be fine." Arn answered
"Okay."
The two men then slowly approached the mineshaft as the two guards began to walk back down to the mine. Al retrieved his pistol and fired off two shots. His aim was true and both men fell dead.
Yelling and shouting could be heard coming from the mine. Arn looked at Al and said
"Now what in the hell did you do that for?! Now they know we're comin!"
"I just did it to spice things up a bit." Al said in reply
Both men then rushed into the mineshaft and grabbed the two shotguns the dead guys dropped. They slowly traversed deeper into the mine. They spotted a minecart on the track. Both men dropped to the level of the cart and took cover behind it.
Shortly after shots began hitting the cart.
"We know it's you sheriff! Come out and die like a man, you old piece if shit." One bandit shouted
"Surrender now." Arn shouted back
"No! Kill him, and that ugly deputy, boys!"
"Ugly? Man fuck these guys." Al said
Al peered up from his hiding spot and fired twice. He struck the men speaking in the chest and the leg.
"You'll learn to respect me boy!" Al shouted
More shots then hit the minecart. The sound of women screaming violently ricocheted off the wall nearly deafening the two men.
"Ah the sounds of whores screaming their heads off during a shootout! The one part of being an outlaw I don't miss."
Arn looked up at the top of the mine and saw three gunmen on the scaffolding moving to get a better shot. Arn fired all six shots in his first gun. Two of the men got hit in the head by a single shot. The third guy took the other four shots to the chest.
"First guns empty." Arn said
Both Arn and Al then rose up from their position and began shooting. The last five guys were riddled with lead and fell to the ground dead. They rushed over to the bodies and grabbed their rifles.
"Whew! These are military grade." Arn said
"Magnificent 451. Standard issue for Elven forces." Al said
"You served in the army." Arn said
The two men took the guns and rushed deeper into the mine. As they ran down the shaft five whores rushed up the opposing path.
"So how many of these Donner boys are there?" Al asked
"There can't be too many more left." Arn answered
They rushed down into the final part of the mine. They found a room with multiple connecting mine tracks and about a dozen cars. Each car was filled to the brim with gold and in the corner was a ton of old tnt.
On the scaffolding above there was one man and he was setting up a gatling gun.
"What in the Hells?" Al asked
He took a few steps forward
"A gatling gun! Man you Donner boys I swear. You've got a respectable setup." Al continued
"I'll teach you some respect. Boys!" Donny Donner shouted
At that time around a dozen men rushed into the room from a different tunnel. The five whores also came back only this time carrying rifles and aiming them at the two men.
"Wow! Now I'm really impressed." Al said
"Any last words, Sheriff?" Donny asked
Arn quickly motioned his hand towards his rifle and fired his gun at the stack of tnt in the corner.
The explosives lit up the room. The fireball expanded, incinerating the last remaining Donner boys. Al and Arn rushed into one of the minecarts and took cover. The shockwave blew the cart over and had it tumble a few feet into the wall. It landed upside down shielding both men from the flames.
When they pushed the cart over they noticed that the mine had partially collapsed. The only way left to go was from the way they came and all other tunnels had collapsed. The rest of mine was engulfed in flames as the coal burned. The brightness of the fire was just barely strong enough to shine through the smoke and dust from the mine.
Arn violently coughed
"Well what do we do now?"
Al looked to see the only tunnel left open was engulfed in flames. Al basicaly totted Arn to a Minecraft left on the track.
Al then found a lever that moved the cart. A switched it, just as the scaffolding came crashing down along with part of the mine. A dust cloud rushed throughout the room.
Al hurried back to the cart as it was making its way through the flames. The metal was scalding hot from contact with the flames but it was relatively safe.
Once they were in a safe part of the mine they disembarked from the cart. Behind them the last remaining mine tunnel collapsed in on itself.
They two men then walked out of the mine. Upon leaving the place they noticed a bunch of horses riding up towards them. However, Sheriff Arn fell to the ground. Leaving Al to fend for himself.
