Chapter 5 - ''We are the Western Rebels''

Cowboys


[The following words that came out of mayor Williams mouth was so petrifying that Tomoki almost lost his reason to live once again]

''B-Birth...p-parents..?? NO YOU ARE LYING,MY PARENTS NEVER TOLD ME I WAS ADOPTED!!''
''THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WAS NOT!!''
''THEY STOLE YOU, WHY WOULD CRIMINALS CONFESS,SO HONESTLY,IT SERVES THEM RIGHT THAT THEY GOT THEIR KARMA''
''SHUT UP,DON'T YOU DARE SAY ANOTHER WORD,YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEM!!''
''NO..noo...no...''
''But..How...WHY DID YOU KILL THEM???''
''WHY DID YOU KILL MY BIRTH PARENTS???''

In that moment Tomoki had lost his sanity.The people that raised him wasn't even his biological parents,the part that hurt him the most was not knowing the truth.Why lie? What were they protecting him from? Tomoki's mind was racing with thoughts,questioning his morals.

''Still confused boy,asking yourself 'Why did they lie to me?','What were they protecting me from?' ''
''WELL I WILL TELL YOU!!''
''Your peasant of a father saw something one day that he shouldn't have seen,I knew it won't be long till he ruined my reputation''
''So I hired a bounty hunter to assassinate your father,unfortunately you're mother ended up getting targeted as well''
''Such a shame that she was pregnant with you at the time,she could have easily escaped''

''You weighed her down,you caused her death,the only reason you lived is because she sacrificed her life for you''

Tomoki didn't utter a single word.He accepted his fate and was ready to be hanged...UNTIL..

''OHH...CUT THE BULLSHIT WILLIAMS!!''

[Yoshio has heard enough of mayor Williams and already caught on to his manipulation]

''You honestly think Tomoki's mother died because of him??''
''Don't make me laugh''
''THIS DOES NOT CONCERN YOU BOY,YOU STAY OUT OF THIS''
''Why??? So Tomoki can fall for your weak ass manipulation tactics?"
''Let's face it..You was never going to let his mom live as long as she was pregnant with Tomoki''
''Whatever tomoki's dad saw,made you feel fear for the first time,am I wrong?''

''....''
''Since I already hit a vital spot,I'm guessing that whatever you did..It had something to do with Tomoki...AM I WRONG??''
''NO...N-NOOO...YOU ARE W-WRONG''
''What's the matter Williams?? Did I hit a spot?''
''N-NO...HOW DID YOU KNOW?? IT'S NOT POSSIBLE...''

''Let's just say...I am good at reading people''

The crowd grew noisy,mayor Williams was close to wetting his pants,Tomoki looked over at Yoshio and for the first time in his life,he realized that Yoshio ( Even in the face of death) was going to fight for what he believed.In that moment Tomoki stopped listening to his doubts and started believing in his morals.

''HANG THEM NOWWW!!!!!'''

As the guard was about to pull down the lever,HE GOT SHOT.Who shot him?Where did the bullet come from? As mayor Williams looked around with fear in his eyes,he saw that Yoshio's handcuffs were off.A revolver was in Yoshio's hand and pointed at him.

''H-HOW DID YOU ESCAPE??''
''If I told you then I am going to have to kill you''
''Ehh..I'm going to kill you either way,I had a hair clip in my pocket and used it to open my handcuffs''
''All I needed to do was distract the fatass mayor while I broke free''
''GUARDS KILL THEM!!!''


Mayor Williams ran into the town hall and shut the door behind him,Yoshio quickly shot Tomoki's handcuffs setting him free while the towns folks started running around.Some fought the guards while others hid for safety. Tomoki quickly grabbed his sword and headed inside the town hall to go kill mayor Williams while Yoshio fought most of the guards outside.(Yes he is that strong).He burst open the door and started searching for the mayor like a predator sniffing out ,ready to kill his prey.Mayor Williams was in hiding.

''You took my birth parents life...My step parents life...My home...You broke my trust..''
''I don't care if I die today but I am not leaving without your blood on my hands''

Meanwhile Yoshio was busy shooting every guard he saw.The town was in shambles.He then saw his 'Sugar mommy' about to be shot.He aimed his revolver and shot the guard in the head.

''T-Thank you for saving me''
''DOES THIS MEAN YOU GOING TO BUY ME FOOD AGAIN?''

Tomoki was searching the town hall.Opening every single door,searching every single spot to find the mayor.He stopped for a moment to listen...He heard footsteps coming from inside the office.He ran towards the office and cut down the door with one swing.The mayor lied their,on the floor,begging for mercy. Tomoki was not dumb,he gave the guard hiding in the office 5 seconds to leave before his blood will paint the wall.Feeling this intense aura from Tomoki,the guard bowed down to Tomoki without even realizing it.The '6 ft 5' sheriff stood their staring deep into the mayor's soul.

[Hang on..HE IS 6 FT 5???]

''Nooooooo....I just wrote it down there because I was hungry''

[I..uhh back to the story..]

''PLEASE TOMOKI,PLEASE SPARE MY LIFE,I PROMISE I WILL NEVER HARM YOU OR YOUR FAMILY AGAIN''
''What family..?''
''You took them all away from me,you made me work like a slave to pay of a debt that didn't exist''
''WAIT...HOW DID YOU KNOW??''
''It's over for you Williams..Your time has come..''
''TOMOKI!!! I AM WARNING YOU,IF YOU KILL ME NOW,YOU WILL NEVER LIVE IN PEACE,THE PEOPLE MORE POWERFUL THAN ME WILL NEVER LET YOU LIVE''
''Psalm 56:11 - In God I trust and am not afraid.What man can do to me.''

With one swing,mayor Williams head was on the floor.His body collapsed,the blood stained the floor.

[Tomoki had won]

Tomoki exited the town hall where he was greeted by Yoshio and the town people.Both Yoshio and Tomoki (covered in blood stains) looked at each other.Tears form as Tomoki shook Yoshio's hand.

''Thank you for everything that you have done''
''Don't mention it brother,you would have done the same''

Tomoki looked at the towns people as he held the mayor's head.He raised his hand with the head and everyone in the town cheered.Finally the suffering ended,finally the corruption is gone,finally no more innocent lives lost. Tomoki looked up at the sky.

''This one was for you guys'''

Evening had arrived and everyone in the town was celebrating.There was food ( which was raided by Yoshio ),dancing and singing.Everyone ( including Tomoki ) was having a great time.With 2 drinks in his hand,Tomoki went towards Yoshio sitting on the rocks by the riverside.

''Thank you once again for all your help Yoshio,I owe you my life"
''BOY..You don't owe me nothing,it's your life,live it''
''I've been thinking about it and where are you headed?''
''Dunno..Wherever the wind takes me''
*Yoshio looks into the distance staring into the sunset which was not there,the sun was setting on the opposite side* 
''I'm coming with you''
''What?''
''I am coming with you on your journey to help find your mother''
''But what about the town?"
''What about it? The town is safe now that the bastard is dead,there's no reason for me to stay here''
''Well what do you know?,I got myself a new partner and a new brother''

Just then a man called Tomoki and Yoshio on the stage.

''Everyone give a round of applause to these two gentlemen for saving our town''
*The town screams and cheers for both Yoshio and Tomoki*
''Both of you are forever welcome to stay or visit our town whenever you want,always remember that the two of you are family to us''
''I know that both of you won't stay here for long so that is why us town folks wanted to throw a celebration for your victory before your departure''
''All of us decided that if you two cowboys are going to start your journey,then you will need titles''
''Titles??"
''Tomoki for saving all the towns folks from an evil,corrupted mayor and always helping others,your title shall be 'HEAVEN'S HERO' ''
''As for you Yoshio,for freeing Tomoki and standing up against injustice and evil,following your heart and believing in good,your title shall be 'THE LAST HOPE' ''
''Thank you,it's an honor''
''I see very great things from the both of you,go and make us all proud''

''So Yoshio..You thought about what you gonna name our gang??''
''Yeah...''

''We are The Western Rebels''
