Metal Cowboy/Big Job
Arriving at the Time Police Headquarters. I safely landed inside of the massive building and eventually made my way to his office. Where we sat down in front of 42 year old African-American lawman Chief Jordan. Standing at 5′8, light blue color eyes and bald head. Who began speaking to me. Now I’m sure your very curious. On why I’ve asked you here John. An shall get right to the point. That you’ve done come incredible good for the world and threw a lot of dangerous criminals behind bars. Which is why I want you, to come an join our ranks. Completely surprised here by this news I respond back. Are you serious partner? He replied. I am. An don’t worry. You don’t have to go some Academy or anything like that. But will have to serve as a deputy. If....you accept the offer.

Metal Cowboy/Processing
Thinking hard about what he just told me here. While sitting directly across from ? here. I thought hard about this before asking him. If....I did this. What would happen to my team? For their a good bunch of heroes. Who can do a lot of good things for the world. Chief Jordan reply. You’ll still be able to lead them. But only if something big comes up. Understanding this. I soon spoke. Well partner, if this let’s me. Keep the world safe from evil. Then I’m all in. Chief Jordan was glad to hear this as he spoke. Then welcome to Time police.

Metal Cowboy/Deputy
After shaking hands with Chief Jordan I was assigned onto the Jackson Crew. Who were lead by 34 year old Officer Harold Jackson, standing at 5′7, short blond hair, blond mustache and dark blue color eyes. Who shook my left hand and spoke to me within the hangar bay. We’re glad to have you onboard Metal Cowboy. For I’m sure we’ll get along just fine. I was happy to hear this as one of his female crew members quickly rushed over and began speaking. Sir, I’m sorry to interrupt. But we’ve got big trouble inScotland, 14th Century.Troubled by this news Officer Jackson spoke. Then we better get moving right away. I fully agreed with him as we hurried onboard and took off straight away.

Metal Cowboy/Scottish Snatchers
Arriving within Scotland, 14th Century.We landed outside of a large farm. Where we then disguised ourselves as soldiers, before heading off towards this large village not far from here. With me curiously asking. So what exactly happened here? Officer Jackson told me. According to what our intel said. It seems that some peasants have been mysteriously disappearing. For the last few days and nobody have a clue. On who or what is responsible for it. I found this most troubling as we later arrived at the village. Where we began asking around. To see what the people knew about this. Who didn’t seem to know much. Only that every time someone had disappeared. They claim to have scene a strange red glow coming from the woods. Which we knew was bad, but also suspicious too. An decided to check it out.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Red Woods
Unsure of what was causing the mysterious red glow. We headed over there and began searching around with the crew using their scanners to try and detect whatever the peasants have been seeing. But it was no good. For they couldn’t seem to detect anything. With me looking around before speaking to Officer Jackson. Well....whoever or whatever is behind these kidnappings. They didn’t seem to leave any sort of tracks. Lead in or out of the woods here. Meaning their either using some sort of flying device or we’re dealing. With something unknown. Knowing this wasn’t good Officer Jackson spoke to me. Then we better keep looking. For there’s got to be a clue out here somewhere.

Metal Cowboy/Slimy
Searching around the woods here some more. I soon found some sort of weird dark blue color slime an quickly called out. I’ve found something! That’s when Officer Jackson an two others came over here and saw what I’ve found. Who seem curious as Officer Jackson asked me. What did you find? I told him. I’m not too sure. For it seems to be some sort of slime. Hearing this Officer Jackson scanned it and quickly got some results. Before speaking to everyone over here. Well this is interesting. For according to this. It seems to be a type of plasma fuel. Which is only used by a limited small group. Giving us a better idea on who’s behind this.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Few Names
With our first clue found. We tried to find more leaking plasma and yet. We couldn’t seem to find any. As if the rest of it just....disappeared. As we kept searching and started asking folks within another further away village. Where some of their people went missing too. With Officer Jackson looking curious and me asking him. What do you think? He told me. There’s only four possible groups behind this. Yet, something doesn’t make sense. For how would they have gotten here? When they clearly don’t have time travel machinery. I found both interesting and also concerning too. When we all saw something we didn’t expect at all.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Only One
Looking towards our left side was a lone wounded man, who was badly hurt. As many of the villagers gasped in shock. As one young boy rushed towards him while shouting in fear. Father! Before hugging the wounded man an began crying. As the unknown stranger looked down at him and spoke in pain. It’s alright....my son. For your father has....returned. As we hurried over and me asking. Excuse me. But what has happen to you? Looking at us he told us and everyone else here. It was horrible. For I was attacked by these....things. Which were like nothing I’ve ever scene. That were dress in armor and wielded strange weapons. That fired out these strange form of light. Capable of breaking stone an trees. While also looking like.....monsters. Hearing this I quickly asked him. Where?! Who pointed towards the north-east. An headed down there at once.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Space Snatchers
With new information at hand. We could clearly confirm that the kidnappers were possible aliens, though we still didn’t know why. They were taking people from Scotland. But were planning to find out. As we rushed down there and an could see these nine terrified people. Fleeing from a nearby farm house while screaming. Who quickly ran past them and me breaking down the front door. Before looking around and could clearly see. That they seem to be armed Reptilians dress within strange armor. An that they’ve all somehow been slain.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Slain Aliens
Surprised by what we’re seeing here before us. We already knew it couldn’t have been the villagers, since none of them were armed. Yet alone had the skills to face something like armed Reptilians. With me looking around as one of the Time Police officers spoke in shock. What happened here?! This was a great question. As we started looking around, with me noticing something an spoke. Officer Jackson. It seems all of these Reptilians here were slashed. Noticing this too he reply. Your right. Though there’s one thing I can’t understand. For if it wasn’t the villagers. Then who did?! Which was the question we needed to solve.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Lone Savior
Searching around here, we found what looked like a single set of tracks leading from the back doorway and straight to the furthest woods. Which was clearly left by whoever attacked the Reptilians and saved the kidnapped villagers. Which made one of the female Time Police officers scratch the back of their head in confusion and spoke. I don’t understand it. Who could have possibly be brave enough. Yet alone have the skills to face these Reptilians and defeat them? I told her. Someone with great skill and knows their way around a sharp blade. Such as a sword. Curious Officer Jackson asked me. What makes you say that? I answered his question.Simple, none of the fallen Reptilians were shot. Which means they snuck over and used their sword or dagger. To slash those standing guard outside. An then went in to save everyone being held captive. Which makes the most sense. Since they never used the Reptilians tech against them.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Blades
Unsure of who could have been capable of taking these Reptilians down. We decided to split up into two groups. With one going to ask the freed captives who had saved them. While the rest of us followed the trail towards the direction of the woods. Where we cautiously searched around. Since we didn’t know if they were friendly to strangers or not. An had the strong feeling we were going to find out. As we kept searching around out here. While also getting the weird feeling we’re being watched.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Mask Swordsman
As we were searching the woods for the mystery sword figure, it was elsewhere. That three of the disguised Time Police officers faced the escaped captives and one of them curiously asking. Please tell us. Who exactly saved you, from those strange creatures? One of them answered their question while smiling. Why....it was the great Scottish hero. Who’s protected this land for years. Who you soldiers should obviously know. For his name is Night Cross. Meanwhile, it was back within the woods. That we were still searching around. Until we suddenly heard one of our officers shout. Freeze! As he was quickly attacked by a mysterious armed foe. An was wounded before the others opened fire.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Scotland’s Hero
I watched the mysterious man standing at 5′8, wearing a metallic mask, dark green color eyes, dress within a dark brown cloak and peasant clothing. While also wearing chainmail armor began easily dodging their laser fire. As the man began throwing knives back at them. Wounding more of the officers here, with Officer Jackson taking cover. While the knives hit me an barely did a thing. Due to my metal skin. An could already assume he was the one who slayed those Reptilian kidnappers. With me quickly running after him. Then dare allow this mystery man to wound anyone else. While catching his attention as well.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Lowering Sword
Noticing me running towards him. He acted quickly by drawing out his sword and a dagger too. Before stopping within their tracks and swung their sword at me. Who barely dodged it as he somehow managed to wound me. An quickly realized, that it was a magic sword. Which was very bad as he stood there and spoke in anger. Who are you strangers?! An why did you try an attack me?! I told him while also lying. Which felt wrong, but also didn’t want to hurt the timeline. I’m Sir. John. While the men behind me are soldiers of the king. Gifted with magical weapons. To fight off terrible monsters. Who were searching for those kidnapped. By those strange creatures you saw. Hearing this he reply. I see....so your not bandits or fiends. Seeking to do the innocent harm. I replied back. That’s right. Now please.....lower your sword. An let’s try talking this over like calm men. Hearing this he replied. I am Night Cross. An willing to hear what thou strange soldiers have to say.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Learned Secret
Seeing that I didn’t wish to fight. But rather talk things over. He explained to us why he attacked the Reptilians. An how he learned. That they were planning to take them somewhere on their spaceship. To some sort of secret place. To go through something called cloning. Which was a big surprise for us. Which made Officer Jackson look worried an concerned as he spoke. While we’re grateful that you saved those villagers. From a strange fate. We also can’t ignore the fact. That you attacked and wounded many of us. An thus....we have no choice. But to arrest you, for attacking the kings men.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Metal Cowboy/Negotiate
Looking at Officer Jackson I quickly spoke. Sir, I know what he did here was wrong. But he also didn’t know who we were. Yet alone why we aimed a weapon at him. Causing Night Cross to defend himself. Facing me he replied with a serious mad expression. I know your only trying to defend. What this man has done. But keep this in mind. That we serve the king, an if we’re task to arrest someone. Who clearly attacked us. Then we must arrest him for his crime. I didn’t like the idea of arresting someone. Who was only trying to defend himself. From a group he knew nothing about. With me replying. Sir. Jackson. If we arrest this hero. What do you suppose the people will say? Yet alone happen, if he’s in the dungeon? He told me. The kings men can defend Scotland. Will he pays his time behind locked doors and bars.
