The sun glared over the scorching heat of the Arizona desert and a tall lean figure wearing a leather trench coat that hid his face from view sitting on a horse over looking the rail road. The figure was cowboy-turned-bounty hunter Daniel Harris, a man who lost his family to the notorious outlaw Braxton Price. Daniel was a big man, some called him the Giant of all Bounty hunters for he stood a proud 6 foot 10 inches tall with super human strength that went along with it, he is also the only person in Arizona who uses a sword. Today he sat on his horse overlooking a railroad waiting for the train to arrive. After years of traveling and getting tip offs in various saloons he finally found out where Braxton Price was going to strike next, and that was robbing a train, this train.
Danial waited for the train to arrive and sure enough, it did. He then spotted his target, Braxton and his gang, who were intercepting the train. That was Daniel's signal to make his move. He kick his horse on the side and charged toward the train aiming to intercept and board it. His horse galloped along the side of the train he then stood up and jumped on the caboose. He then climbed inside and hid behind a crate in the caboose. He looked around the side of his cover and spotted two of Braxton's gang members. He then pulled out his revolver and shot them before they could react. As he moved to the next car he's noticed two more gang members coming to investigate, but before they could come outside and grab the ladder and climb to the top of the train. The two gang members looked around but saw no one. Daniel brought out his katana and jumped down stabbing one thug and kicking the other one off. He then casually walked in and saw the man who murdered his family. "Braxton Price" said Daniel. Braxton then turn around and saw a massive Braxton then turn around and saw a massive man wearing a trench coat that hid his face with a revolver in one hand and a sword in the other. "Do I know you freak?" "You murdered my family cold and now I will take my vengeance" said Daniel in a venomous tone. He then charged at the out law, but before Braxton could pull out his pistol, Daniel kicked him in the stomach, dropping his gun and breaking a rail off. Braxton then grabbed the metal tube and got up.
With a crazy war cry the out law charged in an attempt to catch Daniel off guard. But he wouldn't be having any of that. The attack was intercepted as the two blades interlocked themselves inches away from their owners. Braxton clearly wasn't the strongest and was overpowered. Daniel practically threw him across the room but he landed upright.Closing the distance Daniel he attacked without mercy. Each swing greatly empowered and so precise that Braxton barely parried each one. This war dance continued with each swing. With every thrust. The outlaw was beginning to become frustrated at his own inability to defeat his opponent and started to get sloppy.
Daniel made sure to punish each mistake the outlaw made with a cruel attack. When he would expose his side too much Daniel gave him a punch to the ribs. If a foot was too far forward he'd crush it with his boot. To the Daniel this wasn't a fight. Because for it to be a fight it would mean that both fighters had a chance of winning. It was definitely clear on who was dominating who and both sides knew it. However Braxton could not accept the fact that he was outmatched and kept attacking.
A feint was made by the outlaw in an attempt to kill his opponent. But Daniel intercepted it and punched him right in the muzzle. Crimson red liquid flowed from the broken jowls of the outlaw. Such pain had never been felt before and the outlaw went over the deep end. He saw red. He felt red, and he would cover this invader with red for what he had done.
With one final primal roar Braxton changed. Daniel just silently scoffed and just stepped to the side and as Braxton ran past him, Daniel drove his sword through into his back. The outlaw then collapsed on his knees and clutched his chest. "That was from my family and every one else you killed" said Danial. He then walked to the next car and sat down in a chair and took a nap, knowing that his family could rest in peace.
