Reverse 1999 Fanfiction : Wild West Arcanist (English Version)

4.The Vigilante part 2

Stand before me, a skinny but tall man with a light brown outfit, spinning his lasso and looking at me with such passion, like a cowboy looking at a wild horse. He covered his mouth with a red mask, as if hiding his identity.
"Billy The Kid." I call him.

"Heh...how'd you know?" He asked while spinning his lasso wildly.

"I can sense a dead man."
I hold my gun on my hips, just in case.
"Did Pat Garett failed to bury you?"

"Shut up. Don't ever mention his name." Billy stop spinning his lasso, from his eyes he looks irritated.
"I owe the man for faking my death. Thats it. Now, onto business. Yer head."

"So..." I tried to reason with him, "...Dead or Alive? Me being alive had more value, unless you cut my head...yer cutting the pay."

Billy stretch his arms, confidence of a young man still running on this man. He's spinning his lasso again, now he's dancing around as if taunting a bull. He's the Matador, and I am the bull.
The only way to win, is to stay on defensive.

We both move to the right, circling the field, waiting untul which one of us will strike first. I realize, using a gun would be too easy. To make things fair, I'll prepare my axe. We keep strafing in circle until we switch positions, we stopped and see eye to eye each other. When the sun slowly rises, we are looking at the light for a little. Mountains and trees slowly can be seen, as it once obscured by the night, bringing back colors to this dark land.
Then we are ready, our hands are on each others weapon.

As the wind stops, silence permeates the area. Billy throw his lasso, and I throw my axe as hard as I can. Billy however dodge it, then he throw a rope from his left hand. I dodged the lasso he thrown, then I realize his rope had a knife on its edge. As I dodge the knife, his other rope tied my left leg. He's pulling me, make me hits the ground hard. Then I rolled to the left, pulling back his rope and make him lost his footing. As I remove his rope from my leg, Billy uses his another rope like a whip, it hits my face mask quite hard. Billy then charge at me while taking back his ropes to his hand, forming a gauntlet to both his hand. He landed his punch on my face and my chest, we both groaned in pain and pulling back for a little. Billy punching the air for a little bit, and fixes his rope gauntlet.

"You got Armor in there too? Shit."

Im checking my chest, my steel armor still intact, but his rope fists do deals quite a punch. Billy then pulling out his rope longer, then throw it into a nearby bucket. He then swings his rope, pulling the bucket and throwing it at me. The water immedietly goes into my outfit, and through the eye hole of my face mask. I can feel those cold water on my face, into my nose and cause me to lose focus. In that moment, I could hear Billy running at me. I pull my face mask a little to put out all the water down, but Billy is way too fast. He tied a rope on my neck, and then I can feel my body pulled to the air and falling down to the ground. Billy continue to wrestle as I struggling to move, he pulled the rope on my neck and choking me.

"Lets make this easier, Vigilante!" Billy tells me, "Just stop struggling so I can get the gold quick."

I was choked a little, but I manage to pull back the rope with my hands. Then I free myself from it, I punch Billy's face and kick his belly. We both woke up to fight again, an opportunity of close-ranged fight without any gimmick. Billy pull out a knife and try to stab my shoulder, but manage to hold his attacks. I parry his attack and smack his knife out of his hand, and then give him a headbutt using my facemask. I can hear a ringing sound from my iron facemask, I bet Billy only hearing bells on his ear now. He's fainting, but still struggling to standing up.

"Ye think...got the upper hand, eh?" Billy falls to the dirt, but he suddenly pull out his lasso out and tied my upper body. He then pulls out a rope, whipping my face left to right, humiliating me. Despite his continuous attacks, it deals no damage other than my pride. I decide to charge at him, but then I can feel a rope on my feet, tripping me. Now I realize he was waiting for me to charge, as my body fall to the ground. Billy for some reason controls all the ropes he touch, moving it like a snakes and tied my entire body.
