This is the story of Johnny, a killer, a thief, a sinner.
Johnny lies there, face down in the burning desert sand, 7 bullet holes in his back. He had finally paid for his sins. Creeping on the edge of death, something whispers in his ear...
PART 1: Johnny Ringo
-------------------------------------
???: This is your time, your life flashing before your eyes, and soon enough you will realize this is goodbye, but what if I gave you a chance? You just have to sell your soul.
Johnny: A chance at what?
???: Life.
Johnny: Why should I trust you?
???: Look around? What do you see? The choices you never had the guts to make. Just sign this release with your blood, and live again.
Johnny: Who are you?
???: Your savior.
Johnny: I accept.
Johnny's finger starts bleeding, and he drops a drop of blood onto a piece of paper that quickly bursts into flame and burns to a crisp
???: You don't know what you've done.
Johnny: What do you mean?
???: Nothing, don't worry about it. Just feel life flowing back into you, Johnny.
Johnny: I can feel air inside my lungs again, all because of you. I can rebuild my life and start again, all because of you.
???: I'm sorry you never could be the man you wanted to be, but regret is wasted on man.
An angel appears beside Johnny
Angel: This feeling's amazing, I know, but be careful you know not what you wish for. Granted life again, but now you've cheated death. There's nowhere to run when you run from yourself.
???: Fear not, for as long as you live you are mine, and even in death you will find you've lived with regret for so long, but now is you chance to change what has been wrong.
???: *Laughs maniacally*
The sky darkens as Johnny wakes up, and everything seems and feels different. No wind. No sound. Just pain. He realizes, he's in Hell.
Johnny: Oh god, why is this happening? No! I never wanted this! Oh god!!
???: Don't ever trust the Devil bitch!
Johnny: I never wanted this!
Devil: It's time that you paid for your sins!
Johnny: I should have known my time was up.
Devil: I gave you your time, and now your soul is mine.
Johnny: I can't feel air inside my lungs..... I'm dead...
Devil: You gave me your soul. Now your time is mine.
Johnny: I can't feel air inside my lungs, I'm dead, all because of you. I can't rebuild my life or start again, all because of you. I can't feel my hands, my face, anything. I'm dead. Because of you.
Devil: Run off weakling, your time has come.
-------------------------------------
PART 2: Johnny's Revenge
-------------------------------------
Johnny walks into a bar that he used to know, he's greeted with a bunch of souls of the people he's cheated and killed. His time for reckoning has come.
Angry Soul: Well look who it is boys, it's Johnny! What do ya say we show Johnny a thing or two about what it's like to die? Haha...
Johnny (Thinking): How could this really have happened? One second life was looking up, the next I'm on my way down. I thought my story had ended, but if this hell is where I'm trapped, then I'll seek my revenge.
Johnny: I've come for blood, and I'm not leaving until I have your heart. (At the Devil) You know you're going to pay for all you've done. I'll feel alive when I have blood, your blood. Blood, your blood. Revenge is all I haven't lost, you've taken everything I've ever loved. You're going to pay. I will have my revenge.
Johnny slaughters the souls in the bar, and sets his eyes to the devil.
Johnny: You may have killed me, but I'll come for you. You thought I was through? Well that was far from your first mistake! My mind is twisted, more twisted than you, and I'll bury the hatchet inside of your skull.
Devil: You think the end is close for you? I've seen your fate, and really, you're fucking late!
Johnny: Your reign is over. There's no forgiveness! I'll rip your heart out, and make you watch me eat it! I'll make you wish you NEVER tricked me! I'll raise an army from hell, and I'll burn this place to the ground. You can't keep my here.
-------------------------------------
PART 3: Johnny's Rebellion
-------------------------------------
Johnny is lying in bed, dreaming about what could be.
Johnny (Dreaming): I start to levitate, I fell the air beneath my wings. I feel the air. I hear the echoes of a world I thought I'd left behind, I feel the victory I thought I'd never find. I see the end... and I feel home again! I touch the ground... but it's slipping away from me, I can't see it, I can't see anything! Someone's out there... Please! Please help! Someone! Out there! AHHH!
Souls: Oh Johnny! Wake the fuck up! It's your special day! You wouldn't want to keep all the angry souls waiting now would you?
Johnny (Thinking): I can't believe it was just a dream... It must have been a sign. It's time I take back what was mine. I am alive. (Talking to the souls) It's time that I bid you farewell. You can't keep me trapped in this hell. A fool would never call this his tomb. The place where your soul is sent to die, is the place where my purpose was found. I'm taking control of my life, and I'm burning this place to the ground.
Johnny slaughters all the souls that stood in his way, and gathers a few to work as an army to help resist the dark forces.
Johnny: First I'll take the things he loves.
Johnny's Army: Make him feel defeated, make him feel defeated.
Johnny: Next I'll take his fucking heart.
Johnny's Army: Make him watch you eat it, make him watch you eat it.
Johnny: Find him, and bring him to me. String him out, and bare his bones, I'll crush his fucking Crown. Don't trust the Devil.
Johnny runs and starts screaming at the Devil.
Johnny: You think you can run? You think you can hide? It's about time you stop hiding from me, and show your face to me.
Devil: No. I'm done hiding. I challenge you to fight me to the death. However, I warn you, you may not like the results whichever way the fight may go. Welcome to your own nightmare, Johnny.
Johnny: So it appears it's my time, with armies aligned. So prepare your guns, and sharpen your minds, 'cause the last thing you'll hear is 'Off with his head!'
Johnny: Get over here you son of a bitch, I'll rip your fucking heart out!
Devil: So much untamed anger. Control yourself, Johnny. Life isn't as easy as 1-2-3. You can't win everything by fighting, nor everything in general. Learn to live and let go. Your soul is mine, but now I'll take it for sure, and string your remains as a sign of pain to the dead and the damned.
Johnny: With the force of ten thousand fists, I destroy everything you have and love, corner you with no where to run. I'll tear your black heart out, and eat it right in front of you.
Johnny keeps his promise. He rips the devils heart out, and eats it. His army strings the bloody remains of the devil to the wall of his own castle, and set the castle on fire, burning it to the ground.
Johnny: This is your time, your flashing before you eyes, and now you see, this is the end. But what if I gave you a chance? You just have to sell your soul.
Devil: You can't trick me with my own words, you retched creature.
Johnny: Oh! Woops, sorry, times up. No life for you. Now give me your soul.
Devil: You don't know what you've done. Look into my eyes, and see the mistake you've made.
Johnny lifts up the Devil's hood, seeing his face for the first time. Something looks familiar about this face... He can't tell what it is. He looks deep into the eyes of the devil, and sees the same pain that he felt at death, and feels a connection between the two.
Johnny: I'm the Devil? How can this be.... I don't understand..
Devil: That's right Johnny Ringo, now it's your turn. Erase it all, return to the start, and begin again.
Johnny: I don't believe you. This is another trick.
Devil: Believe what you will, but the fact is the fact. *coughs* My soul, is yours. *coughs* hehehe...... *dies*
Johnny: I don't believe him. It's not possible, I came, I saw, and I conquered. I crushed his Crown with my hands.....
The Devil's body disappears, and Johnny falls over dead, only to reawaken in the castle that he thought had burned down.
Johnny: Did you miss me? Well here's my farewell. I'm crazier than I ever fucking was. I'm the king of the dead and the damned, but I never wanted this. Why should you sinners be saved? You wouldn't be free without me. I'm your leader, your savior, your king, and I don't think I'm ready to leave. So join me, and march back to hell, singing the song of the dead and the damned.
The Dead and the Damned: So gather ye demons, it's seems its your day. I sin, but I've paid for more than ten thousand graves. And though we're the damned, we're so far from alone, so let's bury the hatchet inside of their skulls. So raise your guns up and sing for the day a leader can save us from all of this rain! We raise as one, and we fight for the King, we fall dead on the ground right before his knees. And though we're the dead, we're so many in one, so let's bury the hatchet inside of their hearts. So gather ye demons, it's seems its your day. I sin, but I've paid for more than ten thousand graves.

And though we're the dead, we're so many in one, so let's bury the hatchet inside of their hearts....(Repeats as the lost souls march back to hell)
Johnny hears the cry of a soul, waiting to be redeemed.He appears at the side of man, lying almost dead, and he whispers in his ear....
Johnny : This is your time, your life flashing before your eyes, and soon enough you will realize this is goodbye, but what if I gave you a chance? You just have to sell your soul.
