A/N:What's up everybody! Got another story! This story, as said in the description is based off of the events/plot of the second game. Of course, since there isn't a full "true" story/plot outside of the intros and what brought each character there, this story won't be a 1:1 novelization. Some things will be changed.
This story may also make references to the February Valentine One-Shot collection on AO3, but the events that happen there do not have a major impact on the story.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters in this story. All characters(outside of any possible OCs) along with the Power Stone franchise are owned by Capcom.
The intro used is heavily based off of the English intro of the series but with several differences in what happens in it.
The narrator from the second game narrates the beginning of the story. "According to legend, the bearer of a Power Stone cradles in their hands the power to destroy or create, the power to bring great darkness or great light, the power to make any dream come! Now, the Power Stones emerge once more, and with them, come a new age of wonders. Welcome to the Power Stone World!" The Narrator says, as Falcon, Ryoma, Ayame, Rouge, Gunrock, Galuda, Wang-Tang, and Jack all look to the sky, all from different parts of the world and see a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
*Cue Power Stone Intro*
It's your time to be,
What you're meant to be,
*In a split screen, with Falcon on the left and Ryoma on the right, both become surrounded in Fire and Lightning respectively before reemerging in their power change transformations. Falcon creates a fire tornado as he spins, while Ryoma summons lightning and slashes with a single sword*
A chance to claim your destiny!
*In a similar split screen, Ayame and Rouge, on the left and right side respectfully claim their Power Stones from the air and emerge in their power change forms.*
Look deep inside yourself.
*Galuda holds the Power Stone close to his chest before it glows and he transforms*
Can you pass the test?
*Gunrock changes and throws a rock in his power change form. A rock that Wang-Tang promptly breaks just from transforming and lands in his transformed form in his usual fighting stance.
The world's a battlefield,
Can you be the best of the best?
*Jack emerges from the top of the screen before dodging a flying Falcon who charges at the screen*
Power Stone! (Power Stone!)
Holds the answer!
*A girl with blonde hair wearing a red and white dress with an umbrella looks at the power stone in her hand in awe before transforming into a wildly different appearance via power change*
Power Stone will set you freeee! (Power Stone will set you free!)
*Next to a lifeless doll on a shelf, light emerges from a box*
In your hand! (Power Stone!)
*The seven original power stone wielders are seen flying in the sky surrounded by the energy of their power stones, untransformed before Falcon and Ryoma look on the side of them and see new faces join them in the air. They all proceed to fly faster*
Magic finds you!
*Ryoma and Falcon run towards one another before they shake hands. In this embrace, the screen shines bright, the energy radiating from their power stones.*
In your heart you hold the key,
*All of the Power Stone heroes look on in a grassy area, before the Power Stone logo shows up*
Unlock life's mystery!
POWER STONE!
End Power Stone intro
Falcon was seen practicing on a sandbag. Something he hadn't since... well... since he had a power stone. Which was when he thought of Valgas as his hero. Until he found out the type of person Valgas truly was. Though he could attribute some of it to the dark stone further corrupting him, he still had no choice but to stop him. And he had to admit that it was a shock. A really painful shock, to know that his hero was capable of doing such evil.
But now, he punches on. Literally. He continues to train on the sandbag for about 3 more minutes before stopping. He then works out with several other exercises before eventually calling it a day. He returns back home to take a shower. Coming out drying his hair, he puts on some clothes before digging in the refrigerator for something to chow down on. He needed to replenish his energy after that work out.
Just as he was about to put a piece of hot steak in his mouth, he heard a knock on the door. Apollus was out enjoying himself, so he wasn't around to answer the door. Falcon got up to answer the door. It was Ayame and Kikunojo.
"Hey Falcon!" Ayame said waving while Kikunojo waved as well, saying "Hiiii!"
"Ayame, Kikunojo. Hey guys, what's up?" He said.
"Well, if you must ask, we're having another show tonight. We'd love it if you come." Kikunojo said.
"Sure, why not?" Falcon said.
"That's great!" Ayame said.
"Falcon, you smell really nice. New cologne?" Kikunojo said, approaching him.
"Uh, no. I just took a shower that's all." Falcon said, backing away from him.
"Would you stop that? You're making him feel uncomfortable!" Ayame said pushing her brother out of the way.
"Sorry about that. We don't want to stop you if you're doing anything important so we'll be on our way." Ayame said, before the two left the doorway.
"See you tonight!" She said.
Falcon grins. "Count on it!" He responded.
He closes the door before cleaning his hands and sits down to eat.
"Alright down the hatch you go." He said before putting the piece of steak from earlier in his mouth.
Hours later, it was almost time for the show, Falcon got dressed up in preparation for it.
"Another show I presume, young master?" Apollus said, as Falcon appeared in the main room.
"Yep." Falcon said, looking in the mirror to make sure everything was on correctly.
"I see. Would she mind if I came in attendance as well?" Apollus asked.
"I don't see why not." Falcon said.
"Come on, let's go see them before the show starts." Falcon told him. Apollus followed Falcon out of the door.
On another part of the world, a man was seen in a castle, imprisoned. That man's name was Harry. Harry Ozpin. He had long black shaggy hair and a pointy beard extending from his chin.
A once great doctor, he had gotten sick. This was an illness that was never before seen by any doctor. Although medicines and the medical field had advanced greatly, nothing that was tried so far could cure him. So he took matters into his own hands. Experimenting with different substances on others, they all failed, with many people dying or suffering from different conditions after the experiments. His good faith was starting to run out. Wanting more people as he believed was getting closer and closer to a breakthrough, they refused. Until one person out of the very few that came to volunteer for experiments had felt no effects. He tried the substance on himself and he was cured! Believing this to be a formula for success, he continually tested on others, until it all ended. Because his experiments were dangerous, killing or sickening many involved, he was blacklisted from the medical field.
He decided that if people were not going to come willingly, he would take them. When the masses had realized what he was doing, he was arrested for his insanity. Now he was to live the rest of his days imprisoned.
"I was so close! So close to another breakthrough! So... close..." He said, pacing around.
"If only I had the power to make people understand. Then they'd see." He said.
Suddenly a gem emerged from down below, causing a small hole in the ground. It seemed to be a black gem or diamond of some sort.
The Doctor looked in awe before he and the guards that were guarding him were consumed by a white light. Suddenly, the air was a dark purple with goo of this same color oozing from the ground.
There was nothing heard but screams from the guards before things went silent again. Light filled the screen again, except it was a dark green, almost to where it was black. The doctor was back to his normal self. But the guards were nowhere to be seen.
A stone was in his hands. A power stone! But something was wrong. As he held it, the air felt like it was suffocating everyone that was breathing it, and the royal family, particularly the prince had said so. Everyone but Dr. Ozpin. He looked at it, and his demeanor had changed. He had power, he could show people that what he was doing was for the good of all, and he could make them understand. See things his way. But something was wrong. His face. It was a face of hunger. A face that looked to devour anything in his path. And as he walked, the royal family, and those that would protect them would see this.
"Dr. Ozpin, what are you doing out? Where are the guar-" The prince was interrupted before he could say the rest as he screamed in agony.
"My son!" The king said, waking up hearing the familiar voice from the scream.
The queen, who was sound asleep had heard her husband.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked him.
"I don't know. But I'm going to find out." He said, getting out of bed.
As he walked around, he began to call out for his son.
"Son! Where are-" He was interrupted when he saw a man. "What the- AAAAAAH!"
Before the queen could even start to investigate she suffered the same fate as the others.
"I... I need more! Moreeee!" The last more said with a voracious and animalistic tone.
Suddenly, the stone in his hand began to glow. And in a flash of light, he and the entire castle was gone.
Londo, Sun Land
As the show ended, every cheered, Apollus clapping harder than Falcon.
Ayame bowed as she received an ovation.
"Another awesome show as always Ayame." Falcon said.
"Oh stop it Falcon." She said, her cheeks turning a little red.
"Young master Falcon is right you know. Your shows are some of the best around." Apollus said.
"I do my best." Ayame said, giving the peace sign.
Falcon and Apollus say their goodbyes to Ayame before returning home.
The next day, Apollus attempts to wake Falcon. But he was in a deep sleep. He was having a dream. He and Rouge were sitting on clouds together/
"So, about that fortune." Dream Falcon said.
"The fortune of love? It's already beginning to come true." Dream Rouge said, looking into her crystal ball before looking back at Falcon.
"Yeah. And I think it's about to come to fruition right about now." Dream Falcon said as he and Rouge leaned over to one another for a kiss until he fell right through her and was falling before he was caught by Ayame.
"Ayame?" Dream Falcon said.
"Hey Falcon. Funny, I would have thought you would have been the one to catch me in your arms. But, here we are." Dream Ayame said, looking at him before closing her eyes and smiling.
"Huh?" Dream Falcon said, confused before realizing that he was in her arms. He started to turn red.
"Yeah I uh. Thanks for catching me, but could you please let me go now?" He asked.
"Sure! But, before you go, I never did repay you for helping me all those times." Ayame said before walking up close to him.
"Ha ha! It's no trouble at all." Falcon said, closing his eyes and rubbing the back of his head.
"Fufufu. Of course it's no trouble for a hero like you. So... let me show you how grateful I am for it."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
She got closer to him and he started to get nervous, and red before she pecked him on the cheek.
His mouth was still agape but he was snapped out of it by a sudden douse of water.
"Young master you're awake! It worked!" Apollus said.
"Apollus what the heck was that for?" Falcon said, suddenly leaping up, clearly unhappy.
"I have been trying to wake you up but you wouldn't answer. Then you were red. I wasn't sure if you were getting a fever." Apollus said.
Falcon sighed. "I wasn't sick Apollus. I was just having a dream." Falcon said before sitting back down to regain his bearings.
"Perhaps it was a nightmare?" Apollus asked.
"No, Apollus it was not a nightmare." Falcon said, rubbing his eyes.
"Well then I truly apologize for waking you from your soothing dream young master." Apollus said, bowing.
"Well, I didn't say it was-" Falcon started before turning red again. "Never mind. Let's just not talk about the dream anymore. So what was so important that you tried this hard me?" He asked, looking around as he stretched after asking. They didn't seem to be in any imminent danger. No fires, no one dangerous breaking in. This had better be good.
"Well young master, as you know your father had left to go and see your mother. On his travels, he made a discovery and sent it here. He requested in a letter that I give you this immediately." Apollus said, before handing the delivery to him.
Falcon opens up the package. Suddenly, he looks on in surprise.
"It can't be! It's... a Power Stone!" Falcon said, as he and Apollus look on at the red gem, it shines.
