YESTERDAYS HEROES ONCE MORE Part Eighty Seven...... Enter Johnny Ringo !

The Doctor and Reggie had narrowly survived their encounter with Timeatron.  Whilst The Doctor was concerned with how Reggie was looking after absorbing some of  the Evil Time Lords regenerative energy. He thought it would be good to have a few minutes rest before they set off in search of the Gun man Johnny Ringo. He patted the Mechanical Mutt and found Reggie to be much hotter than he normally was or should be.  This was a worry for the Doctor, could Reggie's Cybernetic Circuits be in a case of overloading? .... if so what would happen.  Reggie's eyes and nose still had a strange yellow glow about them

As the Doctor and Reggie tried to settle themselves after the events that had happened within  Timeatron's time capsule the double doors  behind them that lead back outside to the main corridor burst open.

 This startled them both, and after turning around they could see  it  was  Phooey and Jack. However they both looking a little flustered. 

"Hello Boys, we found the Monk, have  you had any luck finding  Johnny Ringo ? " Said The Doctor happy to see his friends again. Phooey and Jack did not reply, they remained silent.

Then from behind Jack and Phooey deep voice said " NO, I found them first !"  A figure dressed in Black stepped forward and stood behind Jack and Phooey.... It was Johnny Ringo and he was pointing both of his revolvers directly at them. 

Ringo then pushed the two forward into the room. As they walked forward Ringo spoke again.

" Stick um up ! " He said looking directly at The Doctor.

Johnny  Ringo pushed Jack and Phooey yet again  and like the Doctor they raised their hands.  The Doctor glanced at Reggie and whispered " Good Dog" Reggie understood that he needed to remain in Dog Mode for the time being.   As Jack and Phooey walked into the room, Jack looked over at the Doctor and whispered " Sorry"

" Back up!" Shouted Ringo, and the foursome found themselves standing up against the Cabinet that was Timeatron's  disguised Time Capsule.

The four stood in silence, all of them looking at each other trying to find some way out of this situation they had got themselves in. The Doctor noticed that Reggie was nervously scratching his neck and collar with his left hind leg.  

"Looks like your Mutt got fleas" Laughed Ringo

 Fleas ?  thought Jack, could a Metal Dog really get fleas ?

Then Johnny Ringo entered the room fully and Kicked the Doors Closed behind him. 

Now they were trapped, and the only escape route was now being guarded by an outlaw with two revolvers.

"Where's the Old Guy  !,  is he in his Magic Box ?" Ringo barked looking at the Doctor.

The Doctor not wanting to give anything away just replied " If you mean this box behind us, its locked"  He said  " I do not think anyone is at home " he continued

" The Old Guy must have gone off somewhere, he does that lots " Ringo grunted.

Little did he know that Timeatron was safely lock inside. The Doctor knew that Timeatron was probably watching them all on his console screen, but was he able to communicate with  Ringo ?. If so  would he tell Ringo to get The Doctor's Key and let him out ?.

"Well we will have to wait until he comes back. Maybe then he will let me shoot one of you"  Ringo laughed pointing his guns at each one of the four in turn.

" When he bushwhacked me and brought me too this strange ranch, the Old Guy told me I could shoot anyone I wanted to. But had to get his permission first. "  Informed Ringo

Then he looked directly at Reggie, " But he did not say anything about Shooting Dawg's "

" Come here boy ! " Ringo said to Reggie

Reggie stayed put.

" You can't shoot my Dog, he has never hurt anyone " shouted the Doctor.  

The Doctor was unsure if Reggie's body could withstand a Gun Bullet or not. at such close range? And if any permanent  damage had been caused after being exposed to Timeatron's energy burst, would that affect Reggie being able to protect himself ?. 

"Come here !" Ringo commanded again

Reggie stood up and slowly walked forward until he was standing in front of his friends, and a little way away from the Gunslinger. 

Then Reggie stood up on his hind legs and raised his front paws in the air.

Ringo laughed and said " Get ready to go to Doggie Heaven boy ! "

But before Ringo could shoot " Reggie opened his mouth and said " No one is shooting anyone today Mr Ringo "

The shock of hearing this Dog speak startled Ringo for a second. Reggie then roared like a Lion..Ringo was even more startled when a panel on Reggie's chest opened and a strange Red and Silver Horse Shoe shaped metal thing sprung out.

It was a Magnet.  A very powerful  Magnet. So powerful it tore both of Johnny Ringo's revolvers from his hands. 

Ringo stumbled back against the double doors behind him not believing what had happened.

Reggie retracted Magnet, and held the revolvers one in each paw.

Ringo snarled and shouted " Give them Back !"

" Nope ! " Reggie replied with  a giggle.

Ringo Growled like a Bear and as he prepared  to spring forward and retrieve his Two  Revolvers Reggie Shouted " You can come in now Boys !"

There was a Shout  from outside of  " RALLY HO ! " and then the Double Doors behind Johnny Ringo burst opening hitting him in the back throwing him forward. Reggie quickly side stepped the charging Outlaw, as did the others.

As Ringo flashed passed Jack, he held out his "umbrella" and tripped him up, this resulted in Ringo head butting  the door of Timeatron's Time Capsule.  A dazed Johnny Ring turned around to see Phooey standing in front of him.

" Good Night Mr Ringo ! " Phooey sniggered as he gave Johnny Ringo one of his famous Hong Kong Phooey Chops to his neck.

And with that The Outlaw slid down the cabinet door and passed out on the floor.

From the Door Way the Doctor noticed that The Impossible's where in full Super Hero Costumes.

"Quickly, come in before someone spots you " The Doctor said waving his hands.  

The Imp's all entered and shut the door after themselves.  They could see that Phooey and Jack had found some cord and were tying up Johnny Ringo who was still unconscious. They had sat him up against the wooden box. 

The Doctor welcomed the Imp's shaking each by the hand. This was the first time that the Doctor or his group had  actually seen the Impossibles dressed in their costumes. 

The Doctor smiled and uttered " Very Colourful. " 

 Fluid Man aka Walter held up the Transmitter that the Doctor had given him earlier back at the Hotel.

" Good thing that you gave us this, otherwise we would not have heard you were in trouble " Said Walter.

"yes, I suspected that when Reggie was scratching himself earlier on, he was trying to contact you " said the Doctor.

"Yes, we heard the whole conversation and when Reggie said NO ONES SHOOTING ANYONE TODAY MR RINGO ! we knew that you had found Johnny Ringo and came running to rescue you "  added Manny aka Coil Man

" Did I do good ?" asked a smiling Mechanical Mutt

" You did very good my friend " He looked around at everyone. " You all make a pretty good team " he added.

Then Jack and Phooey told the group how they had located Johnny Ringo by using the Spent Bullet casing that Jack had found in the Kitchen. Phooey said his keen sense of smell had helped them find Ringo.  He Joked that he was part Blood Hound on his Mothers side. Everyone laughed except Jack, He did not get the Joke.

They had allowed themselves to captured by Ringo as they knew that it may help them locate the Monk. It was a risky and maybe a foolish thing to do, but it had worked. 

Then the Doctor told them about the Monk, and that he was in fact a Time Lord like himself called Timeatron.  That he was using an illegal instrument to transport people and things from the past to help he steal things he needed to help repair his time machine. 

Then the Doctor asked Reggie to show then the device.

Reggie snorted then coughed and the ball shaped device appeared in his mouth.

As he coughed his nose and eyes started to glow brighter,

The Doctor also explained that at present Timeatron was locked inside the Big Box that stood in the  Room and would not be able to escape. He could stay there until after they had completed their mission. He said that he would fill in all the details of their time with Timeatron later on back at his Mobile HQ that he called The Tardis.

The Doctor was concerned about Reggie, as his eyes and nose were still glowing.  A lot  brighter than before.  He said he should really get him back to the Tardis, so that he could run some tests.

But before that he knew they  had to do something about Johnny Ringo. Who would not automatically return to his own time period for at least another 24 hours.  He was far too dangerous for them to leave him alone at the stadium, even tied up some one could find him and release him.

So many problems that needed solving.

What will happen next   ?

Come Back Next Time....

Until Then ENJOY !
