The bus pulled up to the town, parking outside. We passed by a rickety old sign, stating the name and population of the town.

Spotsville. Population 123.

I wonder how often they update the sign? Seems like a really low count.

"We're here...not that there seems to be anything here..." The bus driver stated.

"Hm? What do you mean?" Madam Webb asked.

We looked out the windows, looking at the town. It looked like one of those old western towns. All of the windows were boarded up and not a soul was in sight.

And I didn't see any other buses. Where are the other students?

"Huh. Strange." Madam Webb stated. "I don't remember it being like this."

"You've been here before?" Krystal wondered.

"Yeah. A year or two ago. It was much more vibrant and lively than...this." She explained.

We climbed out the bus, except for the bus driver who stayed inside. We walked to the entrance of the town, taking our first steps inside.

"It really is...empty." Anna stated.

"I don't like this..." Muttered Lilia.

"It'll be fine." I smiled, ruffling her hair.

"Hm..I want a headpat too..." I heard Krystal mutter.

This isn't really the time to be jealous...

Looking around the town, I noticed the unnerving silence which wavered in the air. It was quiet. Too quiet.

"What happened here?" Madam Webb muttered.

We started to walk through the town, gazing at all of the closed and shut buildings. It really did feel like a ghost town here.

"Hey?! What are you doing?!" A light hiss penetrated the silence to our left.

Looking over, one of the windows of a building had been slightly opened and a single eye peeked through. From the outside the building looked like a western pub, one that you would see cowboys partying at.

But instead it was closed up and silent.

"What's going on here?" Madam Webb asked.

"So you don't know..." The voice muttered. "Come on! Get inside quickly before they arrive!"

The door to the western pub opened. I glanced at the others, using my eyes to ask them if this would be safe.

"Come on." Madam Webb whispered. "It'll be fine."

We hesitantly entered the dark pub. It was covered in darkness except for the couple candles which rested on the multiple tables, which had a plethora of people sitting around them. They weren't partying though. Rather, they were mostly silent and looked saddened.

"Welcome to Spotsville. Or at least, what's left of it." Said the person whom had talked to us from the window earlier. "If only you could have come at a better time."

The person walked in front of us, allowing the candle light to barely illuminate her. She had short brown hair with blue eyes. Six blue eyes.

She wore what you would expect of a female cowboy, however on her chest was a golden star, and behind her sprouted multiple spider legs from her back.

"The names Sherif Wyn. Nice to meet'cha." She greeted.

"You're an Arachnid." Lightly gasped Madam Webb.

"Yep. It's been a while since I've seen another Arachnid." Lightly smiled Sherif Wyn. "And you are?"

"Madam Webb. A pleasure to meet you." She nodded.

"Ah, the Madam Webb. I've heard about'cha." Replied Sherif Wyn. "I would have thought you came to help, but'cha obviously don't know what's going on round here."

"We don't." Madam Webb shook her head. "So why is this place so...barren?"

"It's cause of those damn Devil Riders." Sherif Wyn sighed.

An outlaw group? Sounds like an outlaw group.

"They've been ransacking our town for a while now. Come 'n go, taking what they please. And we can't do a thing 'bout it. Only a few of us can fight. All of them can. They heavily outnumber us." Sherif Wyn explained.

"Not ta mention somehow they've holed 'emselves up in Oasis despite all of the slimes." Sherif Wyn added. "Who knows how. A bunch of outlaws who actually took over the only forest in all of Hell..."

"This is worrying." Madam Webb muttered. "Hey, have you seen any buses earlier today?"

"Buses?" Sherif Wyn replied. "The Devil Riders took 'em as captives...don't tell me...!"

"Those are my students." Growled Madam Webb. "Damn it. If only I had been there..."

"It's not your fault Mom." John stated. "That idiot Duncan had delayed us."

"They're still my students." Madam Webb sighed. "Sherif Wyn, how about we work together to stop the Devil Riders? They've taken stuff from both of us now."

"Hahaha, that sounds like a good idea!" Grinned Sherif Wyn. "We really needed the extra firepower. I have a plan. Now we just have'ta wait for them to arrive-"

The door to the pub was suddenly blasted off. The door flew into the pub, crashing against the ground and causing the people of Spotsville to jump up in surprise. The absence of the door let sunlight fill into the pub, leaving it a lot brighter than before.

A man walked through the broken doorway. With spiked boots, a spiked jacket, and a bandana around his mouth, you could easily tell he was trouble. He walked inside, multiple others with similar outfits behind him.

"Well well well, hello again Sherif Wyn. Seems you got yourself some new friends. Thanks for the bus outside, we're going to pimp it into the coolest bus ever." Cockily grinned the man.

"You the same people as those with the other buses? Bet'cha wondering where they are, huh?" He taunted.

"This guy is annoying." Sally commented.

Agreed. He's getting on my nerves.

"I hate people like this." Groaned Dawn.

Sherif Wyn rolled her eyes. "Put a sock innit. Get out of here before I rip your eyes out."

"Ooh, someone suddenly got feisty." Teased the man. "What happened to your compliance from last week? Finally grew some balls cause of a bunch of strangers?"

"I'm a woman, you crap-dunce cocksucker. I don't have balls. I could always take yours though. But that would hurt, wouldn't it?" Sherif Wyn grinned, a creepy smile on her face as her razor sharp teeth were shown.

The man slightly paled as his hands slightly moved towards his balls, before he suddenly became very red with anger.

"I'm not afraid of you bitch." He hissed. "I could take all of you on right now with just my fists. If you want a bar fight, I can give ya one."

Madam Webb rolled her eyes with a sigh.

"You think you're all the shit, huh?" The man angrily cursed, his attention now focused onto Madam Webb. "You want a go, eh?"

"I could defeat you with neither of my hands." Madam Webb replied.

That's very true. With her purple telekinetic power things she would totally be able to destroy him, unless he's hiding something.

"Hah." He scoffed. "Do you know who you're talking to? I'm the second in command of the Devil Riders, and a pride demon? You really want to mess with me? Cause I'll mess you up."

This guy was really starting to annoy me. He reminded me a lot of Duncan, and I really hate Duncan. All of this talk, yet he hasn't done a thing.

No wonder he's a pride demon, cause he's full of it.

"By the time I'm done with you you'll be on your knees begging for me to save your life." He growled. "So maybe you should just save yourself a beating and apologize by getting down now and sucki-"

I moved before I had even realized it, my Angel wing and halo out as I flew through the pub in a second, appearing in front of the man and slamming my fist into his face.

He flew backwards, slamming into another Devil Rider as they skidded against the ground outside, leaving a cloud of dust in the air. Everything went silent as suddenly all eyes were on me.

"Shut up." I growled. "You're talking a lot for someone so defenseless."
