As Rango ran up towards Dirt, he saw that the townspeople were hiding.
The townspeople looked where they saw Rango running. And they immediately ran to him and told him what Scarface is hiding or doing.
"This man is a coward, so obviously he is going to keep hiding!" Rango purposely yelled. Hoping it would catch the attention of Scarface.
"I'm ready here Sheriff." An unfamiliar voice came from behind Rango.
This voice sounded old and scratchy.
He turned around and saw that man, he still had the face covering.
"So.. your Scarface?" Rango asked.
"Yes, and I see Dirt finally has a sheriff."
"You got that right, and that means I am here to defend the town."
Scarface slowly backed up, not because he was scared but because he wanted a duel with Rango.
Rango was confused at first, but he got the sense of what he was doing.
"You want this to be a duel huh?" Rango asked.
All Scarface did was nodded.
Rango started to get nervous, knowing he hasn't been in one.
Everyone started to run to the buildings. Scared knowing there will be shooting.
They slowly walked away from each other, getting ready to shoot.
"Before I shoot, I am going to warn you, I am the best shooting in this here town." Rango warned.
Scarface laughed. "I'm pretty sure you never heard of me."
As Rango quickly pulled out his gun, Scarface secretly had his gun out and shot Rango in the leg. Making Rango fall down in pain.
"Ahhh!" Rango yelled.
Scarface slowly walked towards the injured sheriff while the townspeople were afraid and shocked seeing Rango like this.
As Rango was crawling his way towards his gun, Scarface kicked the gun away.
"I gotta hand it you Scarface." Rango said, trying to fight the pain. "You just beat the fastest shooter in the west."
"No, I am the fastest shooter." Scarface said, staring at Rango.
Scarface slowly pulled out his gun again, and pointed it towards Rango.
"Don't worry, Dirt will find another sheriff."
Suddenly, As Scarface was about to pull the trigger, A gunshot was fired behind Scarface.
"Ahhh!" Scarface yelled, as he dropped his gun.
He fell right next to Rango.
Rango looked and saw a slithering shadow.
As it got closer, the townspeople ran in their buildings, and Rango saw them run. It must mean there is someone else than Scarface.
But as it got closer, it was Rattlesnake Jake.
"I got you partner." Jake said.
As he looked at Scarface, he he quickly wrapped him around and for the first time, Scarface looked terrified.
"Well, isn't it Scarface." Jake said, smiling showing his fangs.
"Why..why are you helping this sheriff?" Scarface asked, still in pain.
"Now I have respect, that doesn't mean I am friends with Rango." Rattlesnake Jake said. "But what that means, is that I only help if I want to."
Then, Jake slithered away with Scarface.
"Noooo!" Scarface screamed, trying to drag his fingernails to stop Jake. But it was no use.
As Jake took Scarface with him, probably going to eat him. Rango slowly got up and most of the townspeople helped him.
"Bring him with me, I can fix him." Doc said, as he helped Rango up.
"By the way sheriff, thank you for defending our town." Doc continued.
"Hey, that's what a sheriff does." Rango said, smiling.
As Rango went to doc, slowly everyday he felt better, he was still able to protect Dirt, until the day that he died.
