A/N: In no way shape or form is this story related to my lost legion fanfic. This acts as a prequel to one my soon to be launched retribution story series. It also will have a teaser scene of the story Retribution: Dead in the West as part of the epilogue.

"Mom can you tell me a story." a young fox asked his mom. His mother chuckled. "Which one?" she asked. "The one about the Cowboy and the Vixen." the kit said. That's your favorite isn't it?" his mother said. "Very well. To start we must go back to a mysterious land called Colorado in the year 1898..."

Colorado

1898

"So who the hell is that?" john marston asked as a man armed with 4 colt revolvers, 2 sawed off double barreled shotguns, a lever action rifle, and a bowie knife walked up to the campfire with dutch. "Goes by the name Ryker Williams." uncle said "Fellas this is Ryker Williams. Hes a bounty hunter. The only reason he's not arresting us is that we've received a pardon. And he's asked us where this man is." dutch said passing a wanted poster around. Every one in the gang said they didn't.

(Ryker POV)

"Thank you for your time." I said walking away. I had delivered the pardon from the sheriff. Why the dutch gang was pardoned I will never know. As I was walking to my horse, a light flashed out of the corner of my eye. What the devil?" I said before the flash became so bright I had to cover my eyes.

(3rd POV)

the dutch gang saw the flash and rushed down to where it originated. There was no sign of the wild west's finest bounty hunter, Ryker Williams anywhere, save for his horse.

(Ryker POV)

I slowly woke to find myself in a clearing. "Where am I?" I thought slowly getting up before I felt something touch the back of my head. Somersaulting forward and drawing one of my revolvers I turned to face the assailant whom to my shock was a blue furred bipedal fox. "Who the hell are you?" I demanded. "A seict ujb 0ei kxo jumo kxadw." the fox said taking a stance. 'the fuck?' I thought. "Tu hablar espanol?" I asked. "Nxuk tat 0ei ju0?" she asked. 'what the hell? If she doesn't speak English or Spanish how the fuck are we supposed to communicate!? I thought. The vixen seemed to get the same idea. Without warning she dropped what looked like a staff and lept at me. Our lips met.

Going wide eyed, I pushed her off of me. I spat and wiped my mouth with the sleeve of my overcoat. "Forgive me. It was the only way for us to understand each other. A feminine voice said with a slight British accent. I turned to the vixen shocked. "so we can understand each other because of that?" I asked her. She nodded. "Warn me next time." the vixen gave me a sly smile. "No promises. I'm Krystal by the way." I grunted. "Ryker Williams." I holstered my revolver. "Where are we? Definitely not Colorado." Krystal raised an eyebrow. "Colorado? Is that the name of your planet?" she asked. "The planet is actually called Earth and no I actually live in a place called Texas. I was in Colorado hunting down a criminal." Krystal was slightly surprised. "You're a law man?" she asked. "Bounty hunter." Krystal nodded in understanding.

"So I ask again where are we?" I asked a bit more firmly. "A planet called Sauria. It's home to many tribes of dinosaurs and a tribe of mammoths."she said. I raised my eyebrows. "Really? On my planet, the dinosaurs and mammoths are extinct." I said shocked to find out that the planet I was on had living, breathing dinosaurs and mammoths. "i presume they are sentient." I said. "Yes, why? Were the tribes of dinosaurs, and mammoths not social with your species?" Krystal asked. I scoffed at her question. "No, both were long gone when my species rose to power."

a few hours later

(Krystal POV)

I watch Ryker place two lizards over the campfire he had made shortly after dark. "Why'd you do that?" he glanced at me. "Its a cruel world, I know that Krystal." I glanced at him sadly as he continued. "But in the world of survival, its kill or be killed." I nodded in understanding. "so any of these tribes hostile?" Ryker asked me. "Yes, the Sharpclaw. I'll point them out if we encounter them. He nodded before taking one of the lizards off.
