The Saloon
February 3rd, 1909
"GAAAAAH-!"
Darren crashes into the stairs then coughs as he takes the time to really analyze the situation, he's being pretty badly battered up from a strange creature that he's never seen and it's blood was causing lasting damage on his body. He stands up and took into consideration that Givvy had some sort of technique to his sluggish fighting style and definitely had to avoid being grabbed again or even doing too much damage to the alien since that blood burned like hell.

"You might as well leave-"

The sudden statement from Givvy made the canine pause as he watched the alien carefully.
"You're bleeding a lot-guess my blood trumps your healing, huh? I noticed that with Denzel when we fight each other"

Darren's curious gaze never left the alien
"So you, alone, can handle Denzel's strength?"

"I sure as hell don't need shiny eyes to put him down"
Givvy quickly responded, the canine chuckling at this and quick to give a response.
"That's quite impressive I'll admit..."

The canine cracks his neck to the sides then walked closer to the alien, who simply leered at Darren
"The Tizón is a visual power granted to ferals who have mastered their own savage nature-the power itself can cause temporary blindness to whoever gazes upon it...at the cost of one's own blindness if used recklessly. The light that shows is not ordinary...no, in fact far from the truth....the rays kick start a feral's instincts...as you've seen but the effects vary since every feral is different"
Darren slowly activates his eyes and they both glow white, faintly
"I once blew a poor goats head off with these eyes, it's really quite something"

Givvy was interested but before he could open his mouth, a fist from the canine slammed into the alien's gut and took all the air out of him.

As he drops his head instinctively, Darren grabs Givvy by the hair-pulling his head into a knee that slams into the others face.

As Givvy falls onto his back, he groans loudly, holding his head-dizzy as he gets on all fours to try and stand but the canine kicks him while he's down.
"I would normally enjoy killing you but ripping you apart will do more harm to me than I care so I'll just break your fuckin' neck so I can get on with taking Denzel"

"Take who now..?"
The saloon doors creek open slowly and get the attention of Darren and the dazed alien, who look towards the entrance with confusion in their eyes as it was hard to make out who it was from where they stood in the dimly candle lit establishment.

The figure was dark but his eyes could be seen faintly from under his hat, as he struts over, he glared Darren down intensely but the canine wasn't much intimidated nor patient, as he draws a revolver on the figure, chuckling as he steps on Givvy

The alien looks up and instantly recognized the silhouette even before he stepped into the light, The gang leader held his own revolver, keeping it trained on Darren-
"I would advance carefully, I'm well aware of your kind now and ain't no way I'm letting you take him again"

The canine wide eyed the other and grinned
"By one hard gaze I can tell, you're Denzel's older brother"
Darren pressed down on Givvy's chest as he felt the alien try to get up

"I am-that said, you've done a great ill to me and my family and as much as I'd like to squabble over that alone, I have to ask you step off my friend there first"
Vincent huffed as he inched closer, not wanting to rush in and get himself shot.
