No One's POV:

Six Months... Six long, grueling, exhausting months. Ever since the two outlaws met each other on the train the two had been traveling together across the United States.

Through the Great Plains, the Rockies, and now finally the edge of the West Coast. The two had been mercilessly hunted by every ganger, bounty hunter, and hired killer in the North American continent.

Yn's skills in combat had drastically improved so much that he was nearly on par with his father when he was in the teams... His powers were still dormant though. Aside from seeing enemies and a few movements that was it... They only really appeared when he was in terrible danger.

??: You okay kid?

Yn looks up from the dying fire to see Jesse. He had just put out a cigar and tossed the end of it into the fire.

Yn: Yeah... Good.

McCree: You have a terrible poker face partner.

Jesse kneels down towards the fire, poking it with a stick trying to keep it alive for a little bit longer.

McCree: You thinking about them aren't you?

Yn ran a hand over his face. After a few weeks of not shaving, the stubble was coming through now.

Yn: How can I not... As much as I didn't want to leave... I had no choice but to leave.

McCree: Yeah... I saw something about Lisbon... All those people... Just to get to you?

Yn: Yeah... I sure is shit didn't ask them to take a bullet for me... Not much less than a bomb...

Jesse sighs and tosses the stick into the fire.

McCree: I know you don't want to hear this answer but... They signed up for this kid... We all did... To make the world a better place... We all knew what we were getting into.

Yn: That's when you were fighting Omnics and Null Sector. Not being blown up trying to enjoy a Winter festival by terrorists...

McCree: Talon was more of a threat than everyone thought... It brought Overwatch to its knees... They used tricks that no one thought they would.

Yn: Reminded you of Blackwatch huh?

Jesse looks up at him.

Yn: Yeah I know all about the black ops tactics they had... Overwatch's Shadows...

McCree: And you saw why that was a reason we fell?

Yn: Yeah... But they had the right intentions.

McCree: You don't mean that.

Yn: I do... Overwatch would beat up the bad guys and then throw them in jail... Well jail doesn't work for everyone. Talon is going to keep hurting, keep killing until they have the whole world... Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty... The last six months have proven that to me...

McCree: Hmm... You really did some growing huh kid?

Yn: Yeah... Something like that.

McCree: Well... Like it or not... At some point we need to face our past and deal with it... I tried running from it... Doesn't really turn out well...

The fire fades out, all that remains is smoke and embers. The sun began to rise in the East.

Yn: We got anything planned today?

McCree stands up from the fire and looks out.

McCree: There's a small town up ahead. I got some business to attend their... Plus I'm hungry.

Yn rolls his eyes and stands up as well.

Yn: Something tells me this is going to be more than just Breakfast.

McCree: Have faith partner... Have faith.

Jesse then starts walking down a dirt path. Yn was close behind him. As they walks Nox appears on the canyon wall. Her dark black eyes lock upon her champion.

Nox: Soon my champion... Soon.

A vison flashes before her eyes... Her Centurion back from the dead to reap vengeance upon those who have wronged him...



??: Vindicta ferrum meum est...

The sun was now fully over the small town. Red Sands was nothing more than a stopping point along the famous Route 66.



The two outlaws were sitting in the famous Panorama diner. Its windows looked out towards the mighty Grand Canyon. The two sat down looking out at one of America's natural wonders. Jesse was eating a small apple pie slice while Yn sipped a cup of coffee.

Yn: Still Breakfast huh?

McCree: Well not exactly... We were waiting on one last thing...

Yn: And that would be?

Jesse digs into another piece of his pie, as Yn tries to get an answer but a loud whistle interrupts him. He looks up towards a massive bridge and sees a light coming out from the other side... A train. The train shoots out of the tunnel and heads along the tracks.

It doesn't even make it halfway when a massive explosion rocks the supports. The front of the train takes a nose dive down. Its cars follow it and fall onto the plateau below them.

McCree: That...

McCree pushes the plate away from him and gets up from the booth. Yn quickly downs his cup and follows the cowboy. The pair step out of the diner and into the fray. The dust kickup from the train's derailing covered their approach.

They could hear boxes being broken up and shouts, as they drew closer they could see several individuals wearing colors... Colors of the Deadlock Gang. Deadlock was one of the most infamous clubs on this side of the Mississippi.

A biker was looking through a shipment of grenades when he heard footsteps. He looks up and his eyes go wide. He fumbles with the grenade harness and sprints back.

Biker: Ashe! Ashe!?

He runs towards the center of the group. A woman was standing upon a transport ramp, her back towards him.

Biker: We got company!

The woman slowly turns around, her snow-white hair flowing under her cowboy hat. Her crimson-red eyes looked out at the dust cloud. She could see the two men come into view...



Ashe: ( Takes Bandanna off) Jesse McCree... Been a while, you promised you write.

Jesse reaches down and grabs a cigar, he lights it, and puts it in his mouth.

Jesse: Well Ashe... I've been kind of busy.

Ashe: We're pretty busy ourselves... So it's awful convenient you showing up today.

Ashe's eyes flick over towards Yn.

Ashe: And you brought company... Wait a minute.

Her eyes study Yn for a few moments before they widen.

Ashe: Well, well, well... If it isn't the 70 million bounty...

Yn: Last I heard it was 50...

Ashe: Awful lot a money for a man so... Underwhelming...

Yn: Sure... Elizabeth.

Her eyes narrow when her name came up.

Ashe: How th-

Yn: Kinda my thing... Now why would you go through all the trouble to de-rail a train...

Ashe: Hey! We worked hard for this score.

Yn's eyes flick towards the massive robot that stood beside her... Bob.



McCree: All I want is that crate... Everything else is yours.

Yn eyes flick towards the silver crate... It can't be.

Ashe: This crate? ( Taps it with her rifle) Bob.

Bob nods and taps a button on the crate. It opens revealing cool air coming from it. Her eyes widen when she sees the contents of the box.

Ashe: Well, well... Now you got my attention. What is it?

McCree: That's none of your business.

Ashe: ( Jumps down from transport) Far as I see it its now very much our business.

McCree slowly reaches for his holster.

McCree: Doesn't always have to be this way Ashe...

Ashe then loads her rifle, Bob and another biker stand beside her...

Ashe: Apparently... It does.

The two sides started each other down, waiting for the right moment to strike... The clock then strikes noon.

McCree grabs his six shooter, he fires a wide burst to fluster them. He knocks the gun out of the bikers hand. He stumbles into Ashe throwing off her shot. She pushes him aside.

Ashe: Come on!

Yn and McCree fan out, drawing out their fire. Yn feels a bullet ripped past his face. He turns and sees an Omnic sniper on the ledge. He fires at him making him duct behind cover. Jesse reached for his belt and tossed a flash bang towards Bob and Ashe. They cover their eyes as the sparks flew. He then joined the attack with Yn and shot a cable out from two gangers. It snapped and wrapped around one gangers leg and tossed him in the air.

The sniper tried to get a beat but the swinging ganger got in front of the scope. Yn dove with his pistol and nailed him in the chest making him toss back. Yn saw another ganger and gets a shot off, it hits him in the shoulder but he still gets the shot off. Fiery. spray hits his jacket which began to burn. Yn ran to the side and quickly ripped through his jacket and tossed it as it began to smolder.

Ashe: Bob?! Do something?!

Bob tilts his little cap forward he then sticks his hands out and two gatling cannons pop out. He then began shooting at the two. The two outlaws dove behind some smashed rock to not be ripped to shreds. Jesse spits out his cigar and reloads his six shooter.

Jesse: Looks like bob got some upgrades...

Yn: You don't think?

Ashe: Last chance McCree!

Jesse tried to see around the rock but Ashe had him dialed in with her rifle.

Ashe: Give up now!?

Jesse sighs knowing he was pinned... He then looks down and sees the grenade belt that the other biker had left.

Jesse: Alright Ashe... I'm tossing you my weapons.

McCree then grabs the belt and tosses it towards her. Ashe's eyes widen as she sees the trap.

Ashe: Oh!? Shoot!?

McCree then fires a burst into the grenades, the cook off like firecrackers knocking back all the gangers and out cold... He spins his shooter back into his holster... Safe... Protected... Finished...

Ashe's eyes flutter open. She was now resting on the transport hull with her hands wrapped in rope.

Ashe: What the?

She lifts herself up and sees Jesse placing bobs head next to her.

Jesse: Sorry about that Bob. No hard feelings?

The robot simply blinks his eyes at him.

Ashe: McCree! Hey! Untie me McCree!

McCree: Say hi to the gang for me...

Jesse pushes a button on the transport cart. It fires up and begins gliding down a beaten path that he had already planned.

Ashe: I will not be ignored! I'm gonna rebuild bob and rip off your other arm! McCree?!

Her voice only got quieter that further down the road they went. He sighs looking back at the pod.

Yn: Got an old freind huh?

The cowboy turns and sees Yn walking up towards him, gone were his old clothes and replaced with something more... Comfortable.



McCree: Yeah... Let's wake her up...

McCree pushes the button on the bod, the main doors of it slide open. It took a few moments but the pod came online. A light blue energy pulsed through it... A face then comes online...



The AI looked up towards McCree.

Echo: Hey there Cowboy...

Jesse laughs and takes off his hat, he then offers Echo a hand out of the pod. She takes it and steps out.

McCree: Welcome back partner...

Echo looks out towards the valley, taking in the serene.

Echo: Mmm... How long have I been gone?

McCree: Far to long...

Echo then looks down at his metallic hand.

Echo: What happened?

McCree: Well, that's a story for another time... But I got a call... They're getting the band back together. They want me... But really... They need you.

Echo then glances over at Yn.

Echo: And him?

Yn: A friend...

Jesse then puts his hat back on his head, he lets go of her and starts walking towards the deserted Deadlock bikes.

Echo: Jesse, wait. What are you going to do?

McCree: I got some business to attend to... You coming with Yn?

Yn: Thanks... But I also have some unfinished business... This is where you and I part ways.

Jesse laughs and offers him a hand.

Jesse: Well then... I'll see you around Ghost.

Yn nods and shakes his hand.

Yn: Stay safe Cowboy.

The two walk over to a pair of bikes. Yn fires up the hover bike and revs it.

McCree: ( Looks at Echo) Say high to the monkey for me.

Echo: Monkey?

McCree: Scientist... Whatever.

The two then race off towards the sun. The two looked each other and give a thumbs off. McCree went North heading towards the Rockies and his destiny... While Yn... Went West... Chasing the setting Sun.
