The train rumbled to a halt, its momentum finally slowed. In the aftermath of the intense battle, Katherine and Sangue wasted no time in helping Tennessee Kid Cooper, who had fought valiantly alongside Sly and Sangue.

Sangue, nursing her own injuries, winced as Katherine examined her grazed wings. "You took quite a beating there, Sangue. But you're tougher than you look."

Tennessee, grateful for the assistance, smirked. "I appreciate the help, Katherine. And thanks for givin' me back my trusty revolver."

Katherine handed Tennessee his gleaming revolver with a nod. "It's got a rich history, and you're part of that now. Take good care of it."

As Katherine tended to Sangue's wounds, she withdrew another piece of the Moondark Manuscripts. Her fingers traced the ancient symbols, revealing secrets that connected Sangue to a legacy far beyond her own time.

"There's more to the Moondark Clan than meets the eye," Katherine remarked, her eyes reflecting a mix of pride and mystery.

Sly, Bentley, and the rest of the gang approached, ready to bid farewell to the Wild West and its echoes of rebellion. The posse members watched as the Cooper Gang prepared to leave.

Tennessee turned to Katherine, a curious glint in his eyes. "So, about them spiced strawberries..."

Katherine chuckled, a twinkle of mischief in her gaze. "Well, sugar, that's a story for another day. But if you ever find yourself near a patch of strawberries, remember the taste of rebellion and sweetness."

As the gang boarded the van and prepared to depart, the posse members offered nods of respect and gratitude. The untamed spirit of the Wild West lingered in the air, and the whispers of the Moondark Clan accompanied the gang on their journey through time.

The van disappeared into the distance, leaving Katherine and Tennessee standing on the now-silent train tracks. The echoes of their adventure resonated, and as they faded, the Wild West reclaimed its tranquility, ready for the next chapter in the ongoing saga of the Moondark Clan and the Cooper Gang.
