Showdown Outside the Crystal Palace and the Big Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
(After explaining to Becca what happened, she decided to scope around for some answers and left for the Bird Cage leaving the boys behind the building. To find out what happened with Safire, click here)
Jory: *Looks at Scotty* Think we should follow her?
Scotty: I dont know bro, we kinda have a situation on our hands here as well.
Jory: I know, but you heard her, she was sent back too, maybe following her would give us some answers.
Scotty: I think we should go and scope out O.K. Corral first, if my history serves me right, thats where Doc & The Earps will be fighting The Cowboys. Maybe we can find a clue there?
Jory: *Debates it*...Well, alright, our path was gonna be taken there before we got sent back here anyhow, lets go.
(Jory & Scotty straighten out their uniforms the quietly walk out of the alley and head towards the infamous O.K. Corral. One of if not the most famous gun fight in Old West history took place here, helping cement Tombstone's reputation as "The Town too Tough to Die". Walking along the streets of Tombstone, Jory notices a huge change, the streets are paved, the old taverns and gambling houses are now shopping centers, and most of the people wlaking around are in civilian clothing. But then again the good people of Tombstone were still able to salvage that old western feel, Jory felt like a real life cowboy walking down the wooden sidewalk leading to O.K. Corral and it was definately an awesome feeling. People who either recognized the boys as the UEF wrestlers or thought they were re-enactors came up to them and asked for autographs slowing their progress, but it was quite alright, they love the fans, whether they recognize them or not. After what seemed like forever trying to get down the street, the boys find themselves standing right outside the legendary corral. The boys look at eachother and instantly know they shouldn't go in there.)
Scotty: Jor, do you think its such a good idea to go in there? We'd be getting ourselves involved with a major part of history if Morgan decides to show back up.
Jory: *Sighs*...Were already involved Scotty, besides, theres a reason why hes doing this to us, and we need to know why.
Scotty: Good point man, lets go.
(Instead of going inside, the boys head to the back of the building. This is where the gun fight took place and they figured if anything, they could run into Morgan and go back in time to finally settle this once and for all. Once in the back they slip past the small railing keeping people away from the site where the gun fight happened and walk the grounds.)
Jory: So, this is where it all went down...
Scotty: Sad thing is, we may see it happen..heh.
Jory: Yea, who knows..we may get to survive it too.
Morgan: Maybe, maybe not.
(Jory & Scotty slowly turn to their right and see the ghost of Morgan Earp standing there with his arms folded across his chest, the blood stains from his bullet wound apparent on his clothing.)
Jory: *Walks toward the spirit*....What are you doing to us?
Morgan: The spirit world is drawn to you Jory, we all know about your exploits with Earl Beardie, what I'm doing is helping you understand why your so special.
Jory: *Looks confused*...I dont get it, whats so special about me?
Morgan: *Looks at Scotty then looks at Jory*....Thats for you to find out.
(Morgan unfolds his arms and suddenly everything around them gets blurry once again. Jory & Scotty hold their ground and brace themselves for another time shock. Just as quickly as it had happened they were once again back in time, this time its a calm, cool night and Morgan has disappeared from their sight. Jory takes a look around and realizes himself and Scotty are outside the Crystal Palace.)
Jory: Were back.
Scotty: Oh man, just when we were getting comfy in our time again.
Jory: Come on, lets head into the Palace, see if Wyatt is in there.
(Scotty follows Jory into the Crystal Palace, revealing a quaint lil area for gamblers and drinkers. Straight ahead is the bar and to Jory's left he can see "Doc" Holliday playing a piano with his lady "Big Nose" Kate leaning against his back, enjoying the music and letting it flow into her ears. Along side the piano Wyatt Earp is sitting at a gambling player dealing out cards for a few players. Jory and Scotty head on over to Wyatt to check out his game, see how things are turning out.)
Jory: Hey Wyatt!
Wyatt: *Looks up* Boys! Where you two been?
Scotty: Well, ya know, here and there.
Wyatt: Well, ok *laughs* have a seat guys, your missing out on quite the game.
Jory: *Takes a seat alongside Wyatt* So uh, Wyatt, whats goin on with Doc? He looks pretty bad.
Wyatt: *Glances over at Doc* Hes been here all night drinking, its strating to get to him.
Scotty: Well shit, if thats what drunk looks like then I aint drinking here.
(The guys at the table share a laugh as we cut over to Doc who is still playing the tune, Kate, who unknowingly to Jory is acually Becca, is kicking back and listening to the tune. While playing a man turns from his bar stool and looks at Doc, irritated by the music, the man reveals himself to be Billy Clanton, one of the men who fell victim to Jory & Scotty's defensive attack.)
Billy: *Slurred a little* Hey, music man.
Doc: *Ignores him and keeps playing*.
Billy: Hey *puts his beer down*..I'm talkin to you.
Jory: *Hears Billy and looks towards Doc*...Oy, Billy Clanton at 10 o' clock.
Scotty: *Looks over towards the piano*...Great, and I thought tonight would be peaceful..wait..I'm in Tombstone..its never peaceful!
Doc: *Doesnt budge*..I'm sorry, did you say something?
Billy: Yea lunger, whatcha playin?
Scotty: *Yells out* Hey Billy, hows the neck!? *Laughs*.
Billy: *Turns and sees Scotty & Jory* You two!!??
(Billy backs himself into a corner, knowing full well, even in his drunken state, that he wouldn't be able to take them on alone.)
Jory: Dont be scared now Billy, we aint gonna hurt ya tonight.
Scotty: Nope, its too good of a night to be wasting it kicking your ass.
(Just then a loud bang is heard right outside the palace. Everyone jumps at the sound and hides under the tables or next to their chairs. Jory and Scotty slowly lift their heads up to see whats going on and if anyone was hurt.)
Wyatt: *sits up* You boys ok?
Jory: *Checks himself and Scotty* Yea, were good.
Scotty: I think the shot came from outside Wyatt, we better check.
(Wyatt and the boys get up off of the ground and head outside to see a stoned out of his mind Curly Bill standing over the dead body of one of the law men in Tombstone. Wyatt takes out his pistol and runs over to Curl Bill and Pistol Whips him across the head knocking him unconcious. The towns folk and a big group of the Cowboys surround Wyatt and demand that he release Curly Billy, one of them is Ike Clanton.)
Ike Clanton: Alright Wyatt, hand him over.
Wyatt: Sorry Ike, but hes going to a judge.
Ike: Now we dont really need to do that Wyatt, just hand him over and we'll have him hanged.
Wyatt: No Ike, hes going to get a fair trial infront of a judge.
Ike: *Takes a step forward* Hand him over now law dog!
Wyatt: *Puts his pistol against Ike's head* One more step and I'll blow your brains out, your friends may get to me but not after I make a canoo out of your head
(Billy Clanton runs out with his gun to see whats going on and Morgan & Virgil run in with their shotguns ready to protect Wyatt from Ike and the rest of the gang, Jory & Scotty slide out their guns and walk into the fray as if they know what their doing.)
Billy: Ahh, hes just bluffing.
(Wyatt cocks his gun and smiles at Ike.)
Ike: *Gulps* N-No he isnt.
Doc: *Walks up behind Billy and points his pistol at him* I'd put that down if I were you.
Billy: *Turns around* Lunger *looks at his gun*...hahaha, how can you shoot me? Your so drunk your probably seeing two of me.
Doc: *Pulls out another gun* I've got two guns, one for the each of ya.
(Billy stares at Doc's pistols then slowly puts them back in his holster. Wyatt takes his gun off of Ike's forehead and lets Ike go, for now.)
Ike: You'll pay for this law dog, one day you'll pay. Lets go boys!
(Billy,Ike, and the rest of the gang along with the towns people slowly leave the scene allowing Wyatt to drag Curly Bill to the jailhouse where he'll be staying til he sees a judge. Jory and Scotty join Morgan,Virgil,and Docin the middle of the street and watch Wyatt.)
Jory: Man, that was close.
Scotty: *Whipes his forehead* I almost thought it was gonna go down right there.
Doc: Watch your back boys, Armeggedon is upon us.
Morgan: Lets get some rest guys, this episode alone has me wanting to get out of here.
Virgil: Agreed, lets go.
(The gang split up and head to their places, Jory and Scotty following Morgan since they have no place to stay, and are for now safe. But things will change for them soon enough.)
(Its another bright and sunny day in the scary town of Tombstone. Most of the people still have the events of last night stuck in their minds and are avoiding both The Cowboys and the law. We join our heros at the Oriental, where they await word from Wyatt on if Curly Bill was convicted or not. The boys are playing a round of pool, Jory and Scotty are getting whooped by Morgan and Virgil and are getting very frustrated.)
Scotty: ARGH!! Pool has never been my game.
Jory: *leans against a wall* Mine neither.
(Suddenly, Wyatt busts thru the door pissed and sits down on a bar stool facing the boys.)
Morgan: *Looks at him*.....Well?
Wyatt: Well, I took him in and told the story. The judge looked at me after I told it and asked if I saw it happen. I told him no, I was inside when it happen. And he told me "No witness, no crime"! Can you believe that!?
Jory: Thats bullshit, he was the only one that could have done it!
(The boys argue over the verdict but are interupted by the sheriff, whos decided to pay them an unexpected visit.)
Shreiff: Boys, the gang is in town, and they are armed, they are looking for you.
Scotty: Where are they?
Sheriff: They are at the O.K. Corral, havn't caused any trouble yet. I'll go see if I can disarm them, I dont want any bloodshed in my town.
(Jory and Scotty look at eachother and right then and there know what exactly is going to happen next. The events are happening like they should and know that any minute now they'll be behind the O.K. Corral ready for a shoot out. A huge swelling of fear enters their chest and they begin to doubt if they can make it back alive. Will they make it back alive? And what aout Becca? Whats going on with her and her trips to the past? Stay tuned to find out.)
