Amoeba Theater Presents: The Magnificent Seven : Ghosts of the Confederacy - Conclusion
By MMW

Previously on "The Magnificent Seven":

...(Bullet shot into the ground at JD’s feet.)

"You don’t shoot nobody in the back!" Chris said, disgusted...

..."I figure if a friend collects, I get the last laugh," Vin finished with a nod to himself, as if agreeing with the rightness of the statement. ...

... "You don’t ever fan your guns!" Buck admonished angrily...

And now...

Plasma dripped from the wound Vin’s bullet had inflicted. Anderson swayed in his seat as his cell wall attempted to adjust to the invasion. Turning an unsteady gun toward the Tracker, he pulled the trigger, but not before Vin had a chance to duck behind cover.

Seeing the man wouldn’t go down, Buck took a shot as well, ripping another hole in Anderson’s cell wall. The Colonel didn’t go down.

Nathan noticed the bottle from which the amoeba was drinking. "He’s so full up with Laudanum someone could cut his nucleus out and he wouldn’t feel it."

"He’ll feel this!" JD screamed, jumping out from cover and shooting poorly aimed shots at the Colonel. The young amoeba realized his mistake as he watched Anderson come charging at him with a saber.

Seeing the young tenderfoot was in danger, Buck jumped out from coverage and pushed the young amoeba out of the way. Unfortunately, his unselfish act meant that he didn’t have time to escape the blade himself. He felt a sharp pain as the blade struck.

The others managed to bring down Anderson and put an end to the threat.

With the immediate danger to the village gone, all gathered around Buck.

The saber had struck Buck dead center in the nucleus. There wasn’t much hope, but leaving him in Nathan's capable care, the others set about cleaning up the village.

As they prepared to leave, JD looked sadly at the hat Buck had given him. As he was morning the loss of his new friend, he heard someone call to him and looked up to see not one but two Bucks! "Buck! Er... Bucks!" he cried moving toward his mentor.

Josiah looked at Nathan in question as the new friends spoke to each other. "Two Buck Wilmingtons?" he asked, dread and trepidation evident in his voice.

Nathan shrugged. "Anderson got him in the nucleus. It appears Buck was getting ready to split anyway. Anderson just sped the process along."

Chris walked up silently and stood by the two men. "Best start prayin’," he recommended. "Don’t reckon the world’s quite ready for two of them." With that said, he headed over to where Vin was talking with the chief.

A short time later found the seven amoebas heading off across country toward a small, dusty town where this had all begun...

The End.
