Assault on the Train

Chapter 6

Taking Back

The assailants who were in the passenger wagon faced brave people who took advantage of the confusion of the locomotive in reverse, to deal with them trying to stop them but only encountered strong shots or vile blows that caused panic among people.

Faced with all these events, Wyatt was coming down from the second level where he was to join the action that approached the wagon. One of the assailants entered the wagon where Wyatt Ringo was located. The tall cowboy stood like a brick wall between the passengers and the smuggler. Ready to take out his invention and use it.

- Your stuff, - said the unusual dressed man, Wyatt gave him his wallet, and a few coins he had in his jeans. - Don't forget your watch!

- My watch? - Wyatt questioned making himself look a little confused in front of the looter but quickly drawing his invention. In the same way, he drew his weapon, it was the same precision and speed that made him execute those who threatened his life. He shot the man holding the bag in front of him causing a slow and confusing death. - The time of death, 1954. It is very confusing to say the location with the train moving. - He said to himself while he looked in detail at the clock and the compass he had put in his weapon.

At that moment Victoria entered with a hostage holding him as a human shield. One hand pointed to Wyatt the other held her sword well attached to the passenger's neck.

- Put your gun on the ground - Victoria demanded with two of her men entering after her. - What is your name? - Wyatt slowly put the gun on the floor answering the question. Victoria was in a hurry to find a way of stopping the train, but she wanted to release her fury with the cowboy.

The distance between them was very small. Wyatt watched Victoria throw the passenger into the ground and getting closer. Her speed took him by surprise. The ingenious Captain used her saber sword while scraping Wyatt's hand. Creating a horizontal almost perfect bloodline in his hand. Another unexpected movement with her saber brought Wyatt's drumstick down. The brave cowboy had no choice but to face the agile woman in a fight with his own hands. It was not something very noble in his mind, but there was no other choice.

The cowboy tried to snatch the saber by taking it by her hand. The strength of his rough hands managed for a moment to frighten the movements of the Captain. For a moment it seemed that he would make it. It was then that he felt a strong elbow in his head that automatically made him lose his balance and let go of Victoria's hand. Following this, the Captain released her saber, letting it fall to the ground and took with her two hands the neck of Wyatt and bending the body of this towards her, she tipped two strong knees on the face of the cowboy. To the surprise of the Captain, when he was released, he remained to stand, although disoriented, ready to continue fighting. The dizzy cowboy clenched his fists ready for a great fight. Victoria looked at him furiously and approached him quickly throwing some blows with her hands that Wyatt could dodge with difficulty. The woman then changed her fighting style to one with her legs. It was then that one kick after another hit the cowboy face and chest strongly letting Wyatt fall to the ground.

Victoria picked up her saber and Wyatt's weapon. Two other smugglers arrived from the opposite side.

- We don't have time to keep stealing. The kitchen dining room is burning and it is possible that it will explode. We have to get to the machine, stop it and put it in the right direction. - She informed the airmen. She watched the one who was lying on the ground looked at the fallen man, turned and shot Wyatt in the thigh. - I'll look for you Wyatt and your death will be a painful one. - With those words, the Captain retired with her airmen.

The passengers quickly helped the injured cowboy. As much Rigel as Layla and Elinka descended from the second level to help their friend. Between groans of pain, Wyatt explained what was happening with the wagon and several passengers with Rigel concluded that the locomotive driver had to reverse the machinery in the form of despair.

- It is possible that if there is an explosion in the kitchen the railroad may be derailed. - Rigel analyzed aloud. - The driver should have done this as a last option, maybe he's badly hurt.

- Layla what if we might use your grappling hook to get to the other side quickly - said Elinka

- Have you gone crazy? It's dangerous - Layla replied in fear. - I also don't know if it works.

- Of course, I have my notes on how to control the locomotive, if they just want to steal, we just help them stop it and let them go. – Deduct Elinka.

- It's not a bad idea - Rigel intervened, - but I don't think they let us help them. We will have to find a way to find the wagon of the guardian without them knowing.
