Part 19: Cowboy - Update # 10 - Sunset rides into the... dusk...

: Heh heh...







: You leavin'?

: Yeah... I got overcame my personal demons... and my bout with the ellipsis disease... mostly... so now it's time to move on.

: How can we ever thank you?



: ...
Thank you! Also… I have a request.

: If this is about that badge… keep it.



: I feel like… I've redeemed myself, badge or no!

: Wait!
There's… There's something we need to apologize to you about. Truth is… we don't have any gold left…



: Huh?

: I… You folks reminded me… How to protect the weak…

: Kid…



: I see… Now I remember! Known throughout the West for his arm, fast as lightning… Someone was always out to challenge him to a duel. Eventually it got so bad his town was attacked by an entire band of outlaws… He couldn't do anything, so he put a price on his own head, and wandered the desert, in search of a place to die…

: Mister! Kid!

Sunset rides off into... well, into the afternoon sun, I'd imagine, but we can pretend it's dusk for the poetic value.





Little Billy has apparently re-forged his relationship with his father, and is presumably doing well at school and staying away from opium dens.





Still, he spends his days searching for something...



Watching the horizon...



Waiting for the return of his hero.



The aforementioned hero still has a lot of prairie to cover, when...



: Heh heh…



You didn't really think we'd end the chapter without fighting Mad Dog, right?

: This time we finish it! This horse? Heheheh… It's Dio… He an' I get along mighty fine…





This battle is an EXACT repeat of our first fight with Mad Dog. If he has any new tricks, two Single Shots put him down long before he demonstrates them.

: BLAST!



: Wait!





: You! You shot the reins again! W-wait! Ah!



Mad Dog runs off after his horse...



While Sunset turns around and rides right back where he came from... (?)
