The Universal War book 1

The heist (One part only)

Date - 1899, summer

A gang of outlaws rode into the town of Saint Denis, they were trying to look as non-suspicious as possible.

Gang leader - "Alright, one last score men, then we leave this place!"

Outlaw 1 - "How do you think this will work? Every other plan you made ended up with us either in another place, or with people dieing."

Gang leader - "Don't worry Arthur, this plan will be fool-proof-"

Outlaw 2 - "What plan?! What plan Dutch?! What do you think will happen if this works? Where will we head next? Tahiti? Timbuktu?!"

Outlaw 3 - "Calm down John, maybe when this job is over, maybe you, Abigail and that son of yours can finally head to that farm you were talking about. I can imagine it now, your son doing school work and working in the fields, your wife in a maid dress-"

John - "Don't talk about my family you piece of shit! I heard what you were saying to my son about that dog, you lied to him saying the dog went missing, when I saw you hide it's remains. How about I through you down in front of the tracks when that train comes through, you won't be laughing them Micah!"

Dutch was getting annoyed, his gang had started to fall through once Sean was killed, then Lenny, then Hosea, everyone was being killed left and right, there were pinkertons surrounding the area, not knowing the gang from the bank heist was right under their noses, about to rob a train.

Dutch - "So Arthur, everyone else has been doubting me, I have a feeling your doubting me aswell."

Arthur - "At first I never doubted you, but now I have my suspicions. John has a family to take care of, why not just let the 3 of them go, let them live their lives, I insist."

Dutch - "You-....John? Insist?"

Arthur - "Yeah....Insist."

One of the most loyal member and their leader, everyone was loosing trust for one another, everyone was becoming enemy's. There was a rat in the gang, no one knew who it was.

The gang finally calmed down and got to the train station, they waited.

Outlaw 4 - "I think we should put our bandana's on, even if it doesn't help now"

Arthur - "You know Bill, for once you might be right."

There were 3 other outlaws, one female and two more males.

Female outlaw - "This better be good.."

Outlaw 5 - "Don't worry Sadie, Micah said this train as guns, money, gold, everything we could need."

Outlaw 6 - "Yeah, we never doubted him."

Outlaw 5 was known as Cleet, Oitlaw 6 was known as Joe. The two meet Micah at a bar, a month or so after Micah joined the gang, it had been around 6 months sense, but Arthur Morgan, and John Marston had a hunch that the rat was one of those 3, and they couldn't be closer to the truth.

Dutch - "Alright, here it comes. Get ready."

The train went by. . .

And didn't stop.

Arthur - ". . . Should I just...sneak onto the train now?"

Dutch - "God. Damn. It. Alright, everyone on me, we have a train to catch!"

A minute or so later the gang was able to get onto the train, it was heavily armored with soldiers and everything, but they were no match for the Van Der Linde gang.

The final soldier was killed, but the train wasn't stopped, John detached the train cars as the rest of the gang went to secure the driver and the money.

But just then. . .

BANG!

Arthur - "JOHN!!!"

A soldier had come out of hiding and shot John off the train, everyone had saw, and everyone thought that he had died right then and there.

Filled with rage, Arthur got out his pistols and shot the soldier down.

Bill - "You guys get the money, I am going ahead to stop the train"

Arthur - "Stop the- what ever you do, do NOT stop this train, I am going to keep an eye out for any more soldiers!"

More soldiers came, but they were gunned down.

The driver was dead, so the gang had to get the money and go, Dutch and Micah went off to find John and see if he was still alive.

The gang was able to get the money, they jumped off the train as the bridge they approached was still being built.

The train and the bridge crashed into the sea below. The gang had survived. Dutch and Micah came back.

But John was nowhere to be seen.

Shortly after, the rat was found, Micah Bell was giving the pinkertons information and details about what the gang was doing, their plans, etc. it lead to the downfall of the gang, Arthur, with help, fought off Micah while John, who had survived the gunshot, escaped.

John - "Your my brother.."

Arthur - "I know, I know."

Arthur was found dead on the side of a mountain, The gang had disappeared, John was able to live a peaceful life with his family, thanks to Arthur's help.

A few years later, Sadie and John found a lead to where Micah was hiding, Cleet was found in the town of Strawberry, and was hanged after giving the information of where Micah was hiding away. Shortly after, Joe was found in the mountains, guarding the caning where Micah was in, John took Joe down quickly. Micah came out of hiding.

Micah - "Hello Scarface."

John - "Hello Micah..."

Micah - "Hehe, how's that...whore of yours."

John was getting ready to get his gun out, hearing Micah insult his, John's, wife.

John - "She is doing well"

Micah - "And that pathetic waste of yours?"

John was now angrier than before.

John - "good aswell."

Micah - "You know, all that money from Blackwater is in that cabin, go on, take it all. I was keeping it for safe keeping but it looks like you need it more than I do."

Micah - "Especially when your family finds out your DEAD!"

The two then proceeded to get into a gunfight, shortly after, Dutch appeared, with guns aimed at the two.

It was now a standoff.

Dutch, now knowing what he did was wrong, shot Micah, John shot Micah aswell, and he kept shooting, not letting Micah get a single shot out.

Micah was killed. It was over.

Dutch walked away.

Shortly after, John and gotten the money, and a portal opened up, at first he thought it was a quicker way home.

But it lead him somewhere he had never been before.

The horde is closing in.
