Billy was completely drained of power. There was nothing he could do.
Four men came out with guns.
"These are my top men," said Silas.
One was a big red man named Flame.
One was a long-haired man named Garrett.
One was a brown-haired man named Hank.
And one was a man with red hair named Wayne.
They took out their guns and each shot Billy.
Billy fell to the ground.
"Billy!" Jolene shrieked.
She ran over to him.
"Get out of here, Jolene. It's too dangerous," said Billy. "I'll be alright. I have high durability, but I'm not sure how many more bullets I can take."
"I won't leave you," said Jolene.
She shot at the men, but the bullets bounced right off them.
"I came here to save you. Just leave!" said Billy.
"I'm not leaving you to die!" said Jolene.
"You will both die together," said Silas.
They aimed their guns.
But someone shot Garrett.
"Where did that come from?" said Silas.
It was the marshals — Dean, David, Austin, Coyote, and Maverick.
"Boy, am I happy to see you guys," said Billy.
"You aren't hurting our teammates today," said Maverick.
"How fitting they would all be here to die together," said Silas.
The battle began.

They clashed hand-to-hand.
Punches and kicks.

Billy pulled out a fire element crystal and loaded it into his gun.
"It looks like I have no choice but to use this," said Billy.
Silas looked in shock and horror.
"That's a fire crystal. Where did you get that? Do you realize how dangerous that weapon is?" said Silas.
Billy yelled to his comrades.
"I need all of you to take cover!"
