Story Idea:
A couple of young lads are at a Saloon in the west, and they
spot the legendary ex- gunslinger sitting by him self. They start talking about
how great he was and how he saved their town from bandits.
Then in France a musketeer who is the fasted knife thrower
in the world is board and hasn’t had a decent challenge from anyone in awhile,
hears of the legendary gunslinger and how quick he was with a gun and decides
he wants to go against this gunslinger.
So the musketeer gets his sidekick, who carries all the
musketeers’ equipment and they get on a contraption which is basically a hot
air balloon and fly across the seas to the town of the gunslinger.
Once they land at the town, they start looking for him and
finally find him at the bar and the musketeer proposes a dual between gun and
knife but the gunslinger refuses to take part. So in anger the musketeer kills
the gunslingers dog and waits for him to come out from the bar.
The gunslinger finds out about his dog, he goes to his dog
and spends a few moments with the dog and then makes his way to the musketeer and
accepts his challenger.
They begin, facing each other from a distance, staring at
each waiting for the perfect moment, the gunslinger with his gun and the
musketeer with his throwing knives.
And within a split second its over, both still standing,
both getting a hit of each over, the knife is clearly hit the gunslinger chest
but he still stands. Then from the musketeer chest blood trickles, staining his
fabrics and then he falls to his knees.
A few moments past, the musketeer’s sidekick tries and helps
the musketeer out but tells his sidekick to stay away from him, the gunslinger
still barely standing, and then the musketeer gives is last breath and falls.
The gunslinger finally let’s go and falls to his knees, pulls out the knife
from his chest and then kisses his gun and says “I love the taste of revenge”.
