As he approached the town of Diablo Grande, Gabe noticed it looked exactly as it had in his vision minus all the people. It had since become a ghost town of sorts. It was like all the people had been disintegrated and the town was frozen in time.
He found the remains of the brimstone cage that good ole Crockett had been kept in. Off to the left he saw something else, a charred corpse off to the side. Was it Templar Crockett?
Before Gabriel could get a closer look he was ambushed by a pack of demonwolves. They were on him fast. He swung his sword slaughtering them as the came but more kept coming. Then their master, a demon carrying of all things a rifle, shouted at them to stop.
"Tell me what is going on here foul demon" Gabe shouted!
"No boy you don't give me orders. No one gives ole Davy orders ya here me?"
"Crockett? You can't be!!!"
"Like hell I can't!" with that the demon Crockett fired his rifle, but instead of bullets it fired off brimstone and fire.
Gabriel took to the sky and pulled out Bowie's knife and summoned its flame striking out at Crockett. The good ole boy from Tennessee simply rolled out of the way and came to his feet firing faster than would seem possible.
Using Claiomh Solais to deflect the brimstone and Bowie's knife to strike back Gabriel maneuvered around the fire. He thought he dodged it all but then his left wing was singed and he lost altitude. The ground came to fast for him and the wind was knocked from his lungs and several bones were broken.
"What happened to Bowie" Gabe asked struggling for air "why isn't he here?"
"Oh but he is right over there" Crockett said pointing at the charred corpse with his rifle "he tried to save me, he really did."
Crockett looked a little said for a moment but it passed quickly. He fired the rifle again, the brimstone tearing through Gabriel's shoulder.
"Aaaaaah!!!" Gabe screamed in agony as his body slowly tried to regenerate itself through the fiery punishment it was receiving.
Then he summoned his angelic voice and paralyzed Crockett in his tracks. He pulled the coonskin cap from his satchel and forced himself to his feet.
He barely had time to place it on Davy's head before the demon broke free from Gabe's hold. But something strange happened then. Davy did not attack Gabriel Jones. The cap freed his mind from its torturous prison.
"Thank you my friend" Crockett said extending his still demonic hand "Jim tried to set me free ages ago but he didn't bring the cap."
"I am glad to have helped but what happens now?"
"Well this body should turn to dust pretty soon and then my soul should be free to return to Heaven. As for Bowie, his soul is still trapped in his body for nothing burned in hellfire can escape not even the soul" Davy scratched his head a moment and then thoughtfully added "try using his knife, place it in his hand and put the cap on his head. It's possible that two Templar artifacts can free him, if not I will truly spend the rest of my days in torture at what I did to my friend."
With that the demon Crockett's body began bursting into flames and the ashes were carried off in the wind.
Gabriel placed the items as Davy instructed and waited but nothing happened. Then he added his own sword to the mix. It acted like a catalyst! The body began twitching and the skeleton's jaw moved.
"You did it! I am finally free of that hell! Thank you my friend, thank you!"
The body burst into flames just as Davy's had and then everything went still.
The End???
