Nicolas Cage was bored. He had done it all: he had stolen the Declaration of Independence, he had escaped from Alcatraz, he had swapped faces with John Travolta. He needed a new challenge, something that would test his skills and his courage. He decided to travel back in time to the Alamo, the famous siege of 1836 where a small group of Texans fought against a large Mexican army.
He arrived in San Antonio on February 23, 1836, just as the Mexican troops began to surround the Alamo. He quickly joined the defenders, who welcomed him as a fellow patriot. He introduced himself as Nick, a hunter from Tennessee. He claimed he was a friend of Davy Crockett, one of the legendary heroes of the Alamo.
He soon proved his worth as a fighter, using his modern weapons and tactics to fend off the enemy attacks. He also impressed the other defenders with his charisma and humor. He became friends with Jim Bowie, another famous figure of the Alamo, who gave him a Bowie knife as a token of respect. He also caught the eye of Susanna Dickinson, a young woman who was trapped in the Alamo with her infant daughter.
Nicolas Cage enjoyed his new life in the Alamo. He felt alive and free, fighting for a noble cause. He also felt a growing attraction to Susanna, who seemed to reciprocate his feelings. He wondered if he should stay in the past, or return to his own time.
He made up his mind on March 6, 1836, the final day of the siege. The Mexican army launched a massive assault on the Alamo, overwhelming the defenders with sheer numbers. Nicolas Cage fought bravely, killing dozens of enemies with his guns and knife. He saw Davy Crockett fall, surrounded by enemies. He saw Jim Bowie die in his bed, stabbing at the invaders with his knife. He saw Susanna and her daughter being taken prisoner by the Mexicans.
He realized he had no chance of survival. He decided to go out in a blaze of glory. He grabbed a barrel of gunpowder and ran towards the main gate of the Alamo. He threw the barrel at the enemy soldiers, shooting at it with his pistol. The barrel exploded, creating a huge fireball that killed many Mexicans and blew open the gate.
Nicolas Cage smiled as he saw the flames engulf him. He had done it. He had fought in the Alamo. He had lived up to his name.
