shoulda brought twelve more

Time seemed to move slowly as Texas stared down her opponent, ready to react to whatever came next. Zirona's hands were at her waste, though left no room to predict what she would do. Twitching her fingers however, Zirona tried to be slick, her left hand going as fast as it could towards her holster and taking ahold of the revolver she carried with her. Taking it up and pointing it toward's Texas, Zirona thought she had the upper hand, boldly telling Texas "How's about you decide now, Sheri-AGH!"

A foolish move on her part thinking she could best Texas at her own game. Taking ahold of the knife she found in the cage, the bold Sheriff flung the blade with true precision, managing to expertly knock the revolver right out of Zirona's hand, leaving the Snake to hiss in frustration! Just as Zirona was about to bark at Texas for nearly taking her hand off however, just as Zirona turned her head to face Texas, the sheriff SLAMMED her knee into Zirona's chest, knocking the wind out of her and sending her forward! Disarming her and getting in a sharp blow on the snake, Texas figured what the Snake would do next, which is where the rope she brought along would come into play.

Groaning and wheezing from that blow to her gut, Zirona had had enough of this showdown with the sheriff. Now she just wanted the damn Weasel STOMPED into oblivion! Wiping the spit off her lips and letting off a low growl past her lips, Zirona struck a familiar yet threatening pose on Texas, her tail raised high as it rattled all throughout the gold and gem crusted room. Covering her ears once more to avoid the sound, Texas charged once more for Zirona, yelling at the top of her lungs just as Zirona gave out a command to her hypnotized drones!

shouting out "SQUASH HE-" Texas was quick to wrap the rope around Zirona's snout, shoving her to the ground and tying it swiftly around her face, before Zirona tossed the sheriff to the side as she attempted to remove the rope from her mouth. With the drones up for an order however, Texas decided to take charge of the matter, calling out to the hypnotized goons "You heard her! Squash HER ya filthy varmints!"

Her eyes widened and caught off guard with what she just heard, Zirona watched as those she once had under her control slowly made their way towards her, slowly surrounding her no matter where she turned as she continued to struggle removing the rope from her face. In a last ditch effort to stop what was about to happen, Zirona rattled her tail once more to no such luck. Without a new order to go with the rattle, the slaves continued their approach, completely surrounding Zirona and pinning her to the floor now. Now pinned and helpless, the goons around her had no concept of turn taking, and instead did whatever they could with what little room there was around Zirona. One managed to drop their behind on top of her face, crushing any sort of hope of telling them to stop, while the rest simply jumped up and down on top of her, using their feet or derrieres in the process of it all, completely flattening her, all the while leaving her in a cesspool of slime, farts, and all around filth! Cursing Tex's name one final time, albeit muffled, Zirona was bested by her own skills. How ironic for such a "skilled bounty hunter".

Cleaning herself up and patting herself down, Texas once again averted her eyes from the rather grotesque sight unfolding beside her, turning her attention back to escaping this hell of a mining facility! Running through the exit that zirona had been standing guard of, Texas continued her way forward, managing to see the light of the outside world at last! It was bright, way brighter than when she first met Vlad, telling the sheriff she must have been a whole day stuck inside the mine. Not that it mattered once she beat that damn wolf once and for all! Dashing through the exit and being bathed in the light of the sun, Texas let off a sigh of relief having finally escaped! However, one last familiar face was blocking her path to that damn marksmen. One that she knew well wouldn't go so easily.

"Bout time you broke out. Was beginning to wonder if you were gonna just lay there and play dead, Texas~"
