Chapter 4

Justification
Rising from the depth of the abyss, a ghostly shape slowly assends into Nancy's home. Blackish flames that resemble death, decay, and disease slowly desend toward the residents. Unknown to them the creature begins summoning more, and more blackish flame orbs. Deep in the heart of the humble residence a mighty earthquake is heard, a horned beast begins to take shape, as the blackish orbs begin feeding it's shadow. Raceing across the cieling a blueflame burning hotter than hell itself can be seen. "Rawr!" Brighteyes and Angeleye's growl can be heard as they desend upon the ghostly shape. The ghostly shape quickly takes a defensive stance as it tries to parry their rapid claws of fury.

Sally atop Bluefire, jumps from her saddle upon the horned beast. Sally reaches for her left handed pistol, upon the chrome handle "Redemption" is clearly seen. She lets off a few holyfire rounds, sizeing up the huge horned beast. With one powerful lunge the beast sends Sally sprawling backward. Bluefire quickly fills the room with blueflame as he begins bucking wildly at the horned beast. As she reaches for her righthanded pistol, upon the chrome handle "Peacemaker" is legible. Incased in white flame, Sally quickly and maliously attacks the beast sending holyfire rounds into its torso. The beast's wounds begin to smoke wildly as the holyfire burns the unholy monster's skin. Brighteyes and Angeleyes quickly dispatch the strange ghostly shape, who was no match for their stealth and agilty. As the creature simply vanishs after their deathblow. Brighteyes and Angeleyes quickly run at full speed to Bluefire's side. The Horned menance breathes red fire upon all four heroes burning and singeing them very badly. Sally, Brighteyes, Angeleyes, and Bluefire now hurt press on knowing that if they can not dispatch this beast many innocent lives will be destroyed. With a desperate plea for help and guidence, Six-Gun Sally cries "JESUS!" As clouds begin to get heavy with rain, lightining desends from the heavens with a loud clash. The holy rain begins to fall burning the horned beast and healing the four heroes. As the beast screams in agony "The holiness of heaven itself will bring you to your knees demon." echoes Sally as she delievers a death blow. The beast disappears and the storm dies down as the stillness of calm sets in over the cottage.
As the mountain morning dew begins to form on the grass in front of the cottage. Willy awakes to the sound of frying eggs, potatoes and the aroma of toast. "Good morning Travis" says Willy. "Hi there, coffee is over there if ya want" states Travis. "Thanks" states Willy not sure what to say to Travis considering just a couple of nights ago he was going to rob his mom. Travis sensing the uneasy feeling states rather bluntly "Don't worry I know, my mom told me what happen. You can't let that ole past get ya down. Your a new creation don't you know? And to prove it to you, got you a job today if ya want it?" "A job?" asks Willy "Yea, you bet point me in the right direction." "Thanks, I gotta move Mr. Leland's cattle to his back forty today. I'll split the pay with you fifty-fifty" offers Travis to Willy. "I'd love too Travis but I never rode a horse before" flinchs Willy. "Oh? Thats ok you can ride Old Buck he can practially do everything but open and close the gate" laughs Travis as he sits a plate of eggs, potaoes, and toast in front of Willy.
"My mom is prolly still asleep but I told her I'd ask you if ya wanted to go." "Awesome thanks Travis, I really appeciate that you guys are helping me out." states Willy. "Helping you out? Heck I can't explain how it happened but your vision saved my life last night I think, and besides I need some help working on Mr. Leland's spread. He has the biggest ranch in this area and one hand, me." As the boys are chowing down they hear a honk out front. 'That's our ride, just bring the plate and coffee cup with ya. We will wash them when we get back later on." Travis tells Willy as both run out the house. "Hey boys" clamers Jack Leland "Jump on in." As they make the way out to Jack's place bluegrass gospel begins to play over the radio. "What a friend we have in Jesus" all three begin to sing as they make their way down the backroad out of Surrender.
Nancy awakens as the boys leave, she sees a plate of one egg, a few fries, a single piece of toast and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the table for her. The plate is covered in seran wrap with note that says "We went to Jack's place, be back later." As Nancy sets down to breakfast she notices the front door wide open. "Boys will be boys" she states matter factly as she closes the front door. She hopes that Willy and her boy Travis will become good friends because she knows both have a hard time making friends.
The morning mana begins to fall all around the cottage as Sally gathers what her and her trio will need for the day. Brighteyes playfully teases Bluefire as Angeleyes cuddles up to Sally. "You ok girl?" asks Sally as she notices a claw mark in Angeleyes's back. "Ouch we might wanna put something on that" looking through her saddle bag she pulls out some annonting oil. "Lord Jesus, please heal Angeleyes" she states as she applies the annointing oil to the wound. Instantly the wound is healed and Angeleyes licks Sally purring loudly like a kitten. A seraph angel appears, one of the heads tell Sally "Michael wants you to stay here for awhile and watch over Nancy, Travis, and Willy. He has a report that the stronghold of Astar is still in Surrender. For some reason Lucifer wants this area badly. When Michael hears more from Jesus he will dispatch your orders. Thank you Sally." The seraph quickly vanishs out of sight.
"Well were gonna need to fortify this area boys, you know what to do" announces Sally. Bluefire runs out of the house followed closely by Brighteyes. Sally pulls a small vial of holy water from her duster of many colors and spinkles some on Angeleyes's tail. Angeleyes starts fanning the inner parameter with her tail growling as she does. Bluefire comes streaking into the house carrying a olive branch. Brighteyes makes his way in with a mustard seed. Sally grinds up the olive branch and the mustard seed. Adds some holy water and then pours the entire contents around the outside of Nancy's cottage fortifying the outer wall. Sally then annoints the north, south, east, and west of the walls with her annointing oil and asks "Lord Jesus please fortify and annoint this wall that it may stand against the gates of hell." As she finshes a spiritual olive tree springs up around the entire house followed by a mustard plant inter woven into each tree stalk. "Thank you King Jesus." graciously anounces Sally.
Jack, Willy, and Travis pull up out front of Nancy's cottage. "Nice Job boys, awesome work thanks." says Mr. Leland "No, thank you Mr. Leland we appreciate the work." states Travis and Willy in unison. "This weekend I am gonna need to clear out the hayfields. Travis you think ya can show Willy how to run the swather?" "Oh yea no problem, can I run the bailer this time?" asks Travis. "You bet, your ready to give that old tractor a run" states Jack Leland with a shy smile. "Then we can haul all of the bails to the barn. Be about 3 days work boys." continues Mr. Leland "Ok sounds great" Travis and Willy both say as they get out of the truck and head inside.
As Jack Leland starts to drive away it has already begun to get dark. Amod and Id lurking from the shadows follow Jack Leland home. The stiring of anguish can be seen in the slumber of the old man as envisioned nightmares of pain creep into his subconcious and conscious. The demonic horde begins to attack, ripping and viciously biting at his heels as he runs for cover in the midnight air. From the western highlands a flash of blueflame surrounds the night sky as a mighty cat's roar is heard in the distance.

Sally, sit upon her saddle quickly grabs her duelwield pistols, loaded with holy salt rounds. As she begins blasting the demonic horde "You will not have this man's soul this night, back into the abyss you demons of darkness!" her fearsome battlecry bellows. As the fight insues Bluefire is stomping with his hoofs, as Brighteyes and Angeleyes claw through the horde with a righteous roar. Running for his life, the man collapses from fear and exhaustion. As the graven demon comes in for a killing blow, Sally springs from her saddle flying high into the cold sky. Incased in a blinding white flame, she cries "JESUS!" Her hands gripping tightly to her pistols she lets loose 6 shots from each gun fireing 12 holyfire rounds into the creature. As she lands atop the demon she springs backward uppercutting the demon with her pistols.

The broken silouttee of the creature disappears as quickly as it appeared. The remaining nightmares are either defeated or scattered due to the massacre of their commander. As Sally drapes the broken body of the old man across her mount a mighty thunder cloud can be heard as the heavenly rain begins to desend. Heavy drops hitting all around Bluefire, Brighteyes, Angeleyes, Sally, and the old man instantly heal and refresh them. Taking away all hunger, anger, malice, and fear. The rain of redemption completely restores them as they race off into the northern sky.
Jack Leland awakens from his slumber in a cold sweet. "Whoa! what a dream Lord. Thank you Jesus!" exclaims Jack. Amod and Id walk away from Jack's house defeated yet again. Jack Leland looks down at his floor in front of his bed and says "The Lord works in mysteriously ways doesn't He."
