(Wyatt and Doc have been sworn in and everyone has been loaded up with shotguns and pistols knowing that this may end in a bloody battle. Jory & Scotty walk behind the others out of the jailhouse and uptowards the O.K Corral, the short dusty road seems to go on forever for Jory, whos beginning to sweat a river down his armpits and face with a combonation of fear and the extreme desert heat. Jory grips his shotgun, building up the courage to lift it..point...and take another man's life without even blinking...this would be a lot easier for him if he were still possessed. The fine people (well, mostly fine) stand on the wooden sidewalks silently watching them make their way closer to the O.K. Corral, others stay in their houses and watch on from a distance, even Big-Nose Kate herself watches on, fearing for Doc's life..as well as Jory and Scotty. The O.K. Corral is in view now and the grip the boys have on their guns is so tight that their hands have turned pale white and covered in sweat. The sheriff, trying to keep peace in his town, runs out of the area where the Cowboys are hanging out and towards the boys as they make their way to the Corral.)
Sheriff: Its ok guys you dont have to go over there, I just disarmed them.
Virgil: *Keeps walking, not even giving a second glance* Sorry sheriff, this is just something we need to do.
Sheriff: if theres any bloodshed from you I'll have no choice but to arrest you!
(They ignore the sheriff once more and head into the Corral area where the Clanton's and Mclaury's are enjoying some cool drinks and chatting away about everyday life. Billy Clanton, hearing foot steps coming his way, looks up from his glass and sees the Earps,Doc,Jory,and Scotty walking right at them with shotguns and pistols in hand and he drops his glass which catches the attention of the other men. They all drop whatever they are doing and pull out their pistols and shotguns as well and they all halt into a staredown. Jory and Scotty stay behind the Earps and Doc as they know this isnt their fight, but were somehow dragged into this and cant seem to find a ficking way out. Its about this time that everything seems to go in slow motion for Jory, every single move made at the moment is like a movie, like just before something big happens everything goes in slow motion to build up that something "big". Jory can feel his heart beating faster and faster as the feeling of fear and uncertainy fills his veins and his eyes begin twitching as they study the faces of his opponents who are just as fearful as he is. Doc, being the cocky gambling guy he was, takes a look at Billy Clanton, whos sweating worse then a fat guy on a beach, and gives him a little wink. Billy's expression changes from fear to anger and raises his shotgun slowly into the air..the winds of change are near and soon blood will litter the streets of Tombstone.)
Wyatt: *Fearful* Oh my God....
(Shotguns and pistols are risen and shots are fired at both directions)
BANG!!!!!
(Its funny, but in the face of death a person is known to have their life suddenly flash before their very eyes..every single moment. From failed relationships to those childhood birthdays a person is able to see their life and for a split second and realize if everything they ever did in their lives was worth it. No one really knows why this is, some may consider it to be God's way of allowing a human to experience their life one last time before moving on to the "Great Beyond", or maybe its just your brain going into some kind of trance allowing you to relive your moments oon earth befoe you experience you last one, either way its something a person cherishes, even if they cna only cherish it for a few seconds. We go back in time with Jory, back to a day he'll always cherish, the first day he met Rebecca S. Levin, a human being who changed Jory's fate forever.)
(Around the time Jory started the UEF he as beginning to realize that his body would not last him as long as he may wanted it to and decided to take into consideration another occupation to fall back on "just in case". Nothing in the world outside of wrestling really interested him, sure there were a few things but nothing that really made him feel he should be apart of it. On a day off from the wrestling curcuit Jory decided to rest his body instead of going on a search for a different occupation, he figured the rest was much more needed. On this fateful day Jory was relaxing in the park that is located smack dab in the middle of his neighborhood. Some of the children were out playing in the grassy field leaving Jory time to himself as he watched the clouds scroll across the big blue sky. A good friend of his at the time, Peter Heiman, had decided to take a walk to the park as well and spotted Jory on a nearby bench enjoying the view. Peter quickly jogged over to Jory and sat down beside him.)
Peter: Hey Jory, how are you doing?
Jory: *Stretches his feet and looks at Peter* Just enjoying the cool breeze, its not often I get a chance to relax these days.
Peter: I bet, your always on the road, when you going to take a break and go a more simpler route?
Jory: Lord only knows when Peter, I love this buisness too much to quit it now, but I have been looking for a side job to fall back on if my career in wrestling should be ended in a way I wouldn't like it to.
Peter: You know, its funny you should mention that, I'm apart of this acting club called T.A.B. and we put on plays for the city youth and do other fun things like fund raisers and stuff. Currently were doing a play called "A Tribute to Broadway" but were lacking a swordfighter, I know your pretty good at that and I was gonna ask if you'd be interested in playing a sword fighter in one of our scenes?
Jory: *Ponders over the idea while watching the kids play* Ehh, why not? I figure if the kids enjoy my wrestling then they'll enjoy my semi-good acting *chuckles*.
Peter: *Excited* Great!! You remember the movie "The Princess Bride"?
Jory: Hell yea, one of the greatest movies ever made!
Peter: Good, cause you'll be playing the part of Wesley, also known as "The man in black"..or The Dread Pirate Roberts!
Jory: *Laughs* Man, I love that character, count me in! When do we go?
Peter: Well, *pauses*......5 minutes *looks around a little uneasy now*
Jory: Thats fine, I have nothing better to do right now anyways hahaha, lets go man.
(Jory follows Peter out of the park and down to Peter's house, which is only about 4 or so houses down, and hops into Peter's mini-van. Peter turns on the van and pops in his Limp Bizkit "Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water" cd and they take off from their neighborhood towards the city's public library. The Arizona sun makes Jory easily sweat and it doesn't help its a toasty 105 degrees outside making Jory put every single AC thing he can on himself to keep himself from sweating too bad. The library isnt terribly far from Jory and Peter's houses as the town isnt all that big and after only a 5 minute or so drive they arrive in the library parking lot. The lot itself and the library are very nice looking, but the area around it is dismal, poor housing developements and a run down church are what you can see from the front of the library. But in the back of the library a well built Police station and a restored historical downtown area lie so it could be worse. Peter parks his mini-van in the closest parking space to the building and the two hop out and head into the library, the front two automatic sliding doors so Peter and Jory easily slide right on in. To their right is the library meeting room, basically where the rehearsles will be taking place, as well as a bathroom area and drinking fountain. Straight ahead is where all the books are kept, including a reading area and a computer area for all the computer nerds. Peter and Jory take the right and walk into the small meeting room, the walls are pure white as well as the ceiling and the carpet underneath them is red, making for an interesting combo. In the room there a few tables and chairs set out for the actors and to the left a table area with snacks, forms, props, and other materials needed for the rehearsle. Peter is greeted by his friends, Paul,Adam,Josh,Kim Bennett, Kim Hunt, just to name a few, but only one of them catches his eye. In the back part of the room Jory sees a lovely woman conversing with a friend of hers, she has dirty blond hair and is wearing a tight red t-shirt and some tight blue jeans. She sits ontop one of the tables and clearly has an unmistakeable voice as shes able to tlak above everyone else without even trying. Normally Jory isnt a very shy person, but he makes an acception for this moment. He stays kinda close to Peter as he doesn't know anyone else in the room at the time and sits down on one of the chairs facing the room's big screen tv. The director of the play, a wonderful lady named Kleis Bennett, whom is the mother of Kim, walks over to Jory and speaks to him on the side while the other acots converse.)
Mrs.Bennett: You must be Jory Johnson, correct?
Jory: *Nods* Yes ma'am.
Mrs.Bennett: My name is Kleis Bennett, Its finally nice to meet you, I've heard wonderful things from Peter, especially his description of your swordfighting.
Jory: Nice to meet you too Mrs.Bennett, thank you for your kinda words.
Mrs.Bennett: Your welcome, *pauses*..I was wondering if you'd be able to play another role besides Westly?
Jory: *Looks inetrested* What role would this be?
Mrs.Bennett: Well, the actors here suggested we do a scene from "Camelot" and we dont really have a Merlin. You've got a wodnerfully deep voice and was wondering if you'd be inetrested in the part?
(Jory looks over at the girl that had caught his attention earlier and shes sitting with Peter and the others watching a clip from "My Fair Lady" on the big screen. Jory realizes that by doing two roles he could probably impress her..well..at least hang around her more often.)
Jory: Sure, I'll play the part.
Mrs.Bennett: Excellent!! I'll have the script to you by the end of the day!
(Jory nods then turns back his attention to the girl he was staring at before. The clip has just ended and everyone has gone to their corners to chit chat or study some lines. The girl on the other hand, has noticed the new person in the room, and instead of hanging with her friends walks on over to Jory to introduce herself.)
???: Hi!!! *excited wave* My names Rebecca, but most people call me Becky or Becca, whats your name?
(Rebecca, her name for some reasone choed into Jory's mind. He was never really good with names but he'd always remember hers. After taking a few seconds for his mind to register whats happening Jory answers her.)
Jory: Uh..my name is Jory.
Becca: Jory? Wow thats an interesting name, I like it *smiles*.
Jory: I think its kinda childish, but whatever.
Becca: Its not childish at all, infact its pretty darn cool.
(From that point forward, deep down, Jory always knew somehow they'd end up together. They became pretty good friends but a few mishaps lead to Jory giving up hope on her..til the Queen Mary. Becca helped Jory reshape his life and break himself from his former quiet anger filled shell and experience things he hadn't experienced in a long time. Now though, hes experiencing something every person goes thru at least once in their life....death.)
(Were back on the battlefield again, and what we just saw was just a glimpse of what Jory had rush thru his mind. The fighting has begun and Jory finds himself laying on his back looking up at the sky with a deep pain in his chest. he can hear guns going off all around him but tis muffled, as if his hearing is slowly going away. Jory feels himself suddenly being dragged form the battlefield to some shaded area, most likely behind a building away from the gunfire, and Scotty's image appears before Jory's eyes.)
Scotty: *Waves his hand over Jory's face frantically then starts opening Jory's shirt* Jory!! Are you ok!?
Jory: *Coughs and mumbles slowly* I dont...know...what happened?
Scotty: *Searches for a bullet wound* You were shot bro! Ike got ya right in the middle of the chest!
Jory: *Grabs Scotty by the shirt* Scott, dont worry about me man, you go back out there and back those guys up, one of us needs to survive this and its obviously going to be you.
Scotty: But..*looks estonished*...what about UEF?..or Becca?
Jory: *Winces in pain*..I know you'll take care of her for me man....just go...HELP THEM!!
(Scotty nods and slowly gets up then backs away from Jory wanting to get a good look at his fallen friend before heading out into battle. Scotty seems to remember now a lot of the ups and downs he and Jory went thru. From the time Jory had three thugs jump Scotty to the after part of Soul Survivor where they were able to "bury the hatchet" and become friends. Scotty grips his weapons in anger, pissed off that those no good 1880's dirty no good cheatin men hurt one of his best friends. Scotty gives Jory one last look then rushes back into battle with his guns blazing..knowing he may never see his friend ever again.)
(The battle is raging on without Jory and it seems the Earps,Doc,and Scotty have gained the upper hand. Ike took off from the battle shorty after shooting Jory so Scotty is forced to shoot at the other men involved and so far has taken out several Cowboys in anger. Virgil and Morgan have been hit and are fighting from the ground the best they can while Doc and Wyatt use their quick wit and gun ability to finish off the remaining Cowboys. Doc tosses down his Shotgun after blowing the stomach off of a Cowboy and walks over to a Cowboy whos been shot in the arm already. The Cowboy aims his gun at Doc and smiles as Doc just sits there smiling.)
Cowboy: Your mine now boy!
Doc: Your a daisy if you do *opens himself up for the shot*.
(The Cowboy cocks his gun and readys the shot but out of no where Doc pulls out his pistols on the Cowboy who gets distracted and is shot by Morgan's shotgun. The battle is won it seems and both the sheriff and mayor run to the scene.)
Sheriff: *Looks around at all the dead bodies then at Wyatt*....You know what I have to do now ya know.
Wyatt: I'm not letting you arrest us today sheriff.
(Wyatt looks over at his new lady friend who was in the enxt building taking a nude photo of herself for her then lover the sheriff. She runs out and looks at Wyatt with tears in her eyes, shes fully inlove with Wyatt but cant express it yet as hes still married. Suddenly a click sound is heard and everyone turns towards Scotty, his facial expression has turned from anger to fear as a silver barrel is against his temple, with Ike Clanton on the otherside of it.)
Ike: I warned you pimps not to mess with me, and now I'm goign to have to teach him, and every one of you a lesson!!
Scotty: Now *takes a deep breath*....Ike, you dont have to do this my friend, we didn't want this to go down.
Ike: I dont give a damn!! My friends are dead because of you all! And now just like that big oaf whom I shot earlier, your gonna go down in a blaze of glory hehehehe.
(Ike cocks his weapon knowing fully well that his life may be taken as well after he shoots Scotty, but he doesn't care. Ike lets Scotty savor his last moments on earth and just as he begins to pull a trigger he too finds himself in the same situation Scotty is in, except now theres a shotgun against his back, already cocked.)
???: Sorry Ike, but I dont think you'll be spilling any blood today.
(Everyone now turns their attention to the man holding up Ike, and its none other then Jory Johnson himself. The people who saw Jory go down from Ike's bullet turn pale, as if they're now looking at a ghost.)
Ike: *turns his head slightly so he can see Jory*....Bu...bu..bu..I shot you!!!
Jory: Yea, and that my friend was a really bad decision to make, and now I'm gonna have to make you pay big time asshole.
Ike: *Drops his pistol then gets on his knees and begs* Oh please dont kill me sir!! I was only defending myself!!
Jory: *Stares at Ike*.....I didn't even have a gun pointed at you..or anyone for that matter.
Ike: Please, spare my life! I was scared ok!!
Jory: *Grits his teeth* You make me sick Clanton, get on your God damn feet NOW!
Ike: *Slowly climbs to his feet* Please sir, please spare me.
Jory: *Stares down Ike for a second*.......*lowers his shotgun*....I'll let you off this time Ike, but I wanna give you something that you'll never..EVER forget!
(Jory uppercuts Ike out of no where sending Ike up in the air then crashing to the ground. Jory picks up Ike and decks him right in the nose sending Ike stumbling back ont the ground. Ike slowly gets to his knees and crawls away bleeding from the mouth and nose and Scotty slowly walks over to Jory with amazement in his eyes.)
Scotty:....Dude....your alive.
Jory: Yea, crazy aint it?
Scotty: Bu...how did you...survive?
Jory: *Pulls out a locket he had against his chest, now pierced with a bullet* You could say the love of a woman saved me *opens up the locket to show a picture of Jory and Becca posing infront of the Queen Mary*.
Scotty: *Smiles and pats him on the shoulder* Good to have ya back man.
Jory: Its good to be back bro *smiles*.
(With that, time seems to freeze around Jory and Scotty and the people of Tombstone fade away like a long forgotten memory except for one person, the ghost of Morgan Earp. he slowly walks over to Jory and Scotty with a smile on his face and places his hands on Jory and Scotty.)
Morgan: You two have proven that your ready for the next challenge, especially you Jory, I wish you two the best of luck on the rest of your journey..where ever that may take you *winks and vanishes before their eyes*.
Jory: *Looks at Scotty*.....Next...challenge?
(With that the image of old Tombstone fades away from their view and they once again find thmselves in the Present. Jory and Scotty are back in their modern clothing, and Scotty is lucky enough to be holding the clothes he bought before this every happened. While Scotty celebrates on the sidewalk scaring the tourist Jory pats his chest to see the locket once more, as he has just realized he has never worn the locket, but it is no longer there. A burning question in Jory's mind now is "Where did that locket come from?" and "What is this next challenge?". Before Jory can try and solve these puzzles Becca jumps into Jory's arms while he isnt paying attention scaring the crap out of him.)
Becca: *Hugs Jory tight* WE MADE IT!!
Jory: *Hugs her back* Yea, we did hun, but I think this isnt over yet.
Becca: *Slowly backs away from Jory*....What do you mean?
Jory: It seems babe, that this is only the beginning of our new journey.
(Jory sighs and walks past Becca and Scotty towards their hotel with his head lowered. Becca follows with a confused look on her face and Scotty isnt too far behind either wondering if he'll be able to handle this "new challenge". With that the three heros get a break and are left wondering what is next for them...we shall see soon enough.)
