Off in a distant land, Galuda and his wife Lilica were off enjoying their honeymoon. During their travels, they came across Wang-Tang. After they told him that they were enjoying their honeymoon, Wang-Tang offered to cook them a meal to celebrate. To which Galuda agreed.

"Your meal was great. I give you our thanks." Galuda said.

Lilica nodded in agreement. "I would love to have one of your meals again should we meet again." She said.

Wang-Tang bows. "And it'd be my pleasure to do so." He gets up. "Well, I'm off to return to the temple."

"Good bye my friend." Galuda said.

"Goodbye!" Lilica said.

Wang Tang did a farewell salute beforee leaping off.

Galuda and Lilica continued their travels. An unexpected stop had suddenly occurred, and this time it was not a good one like their meeting with Wang-Tang. A castle had appeared in front of them. Galuda looked on at the castle.

"A castle?" Lilica said.

"I sense an evil presence from this castle. An evil so great, it is suffocating to everything around it." Galuda thought as he continued to observe it.

But as he continued to look on, he looked at Lilica and he then became concerned. "Lilica!"

"I-I don't feel very well." Lilica said as she started to feel weak. Her legs began to buckle. Before she could fall, Galuda caught her.

"I feel weak."

Galuda looked at the castle and then back at her. "I must take you back home."

Lilica rested in Galuda's arms, feeling safe around him.

Galuda ran, Lilica in arms.

"This evil. It cannot stay. I must drive it out. But first, I must keep Lilica safe." Galuda said as he kept running.

And he continued to run, not stopping for anything or anyone until he found a boat. He gently laid her inside the boat and began to row. He would return to Eagle Town and Soil Land and bring Lilica back safe. No matter how long it took.

Soil Land

After about 3 hours, with a stop in between, Ryoma and Falcon were finally in Soil Land and were close to Eagle Town. After avout 15 more minutes of walking, they finally arrived.

They looked around. There was no one out.

"It's like a ghost town." Falcon said.

Falcon and Ryoma continued walking. They found the Sheriff's office. They both inferred that the sheriff beat them there. They looked at each other before opening the door. They looked around. No one seemed to be there. They walked out as quickly as they came and decided to look in the jail. All the while they were unknowingly being watched as they left the office.

They entered the jail. They saw civilians along with members of the Eagle Tribe, most notably the chief.

"Chief!" Falcon said running to him. Ryoma followed.

"What happened? Where's Galuda?" Ryoma asked.

"He went on a honeymoon with Lilica." The chief said.

"That low down..." Falcon said, balling up one fist, angry..

"He waited until he was gone to attack." Ryoma said, eyebrows lowering. Although he was usually harder to read at times, from his face and his voice, he didn't like the sheriff's dishonorable attack.

"We're gonna get you guys out of here. But first, we'll need the sheriff's keys. Do you know where he is?" Falcon said. While they could have used the power stones, they knew that using them would have been too dangerous as they could accidentally cause the whole building to collapse.

The chief shook his head. Others looked down.

"The sheriff. He's..." A woman said.

"He's what?" Ryoma asked.

A gunshot was suddenly heard.

It was an ambush! But to the surprise of the gunman. It seemed like the bullet had no effect. In fact, it was blocked!

He was shocked and horrified. To the point that he couldn't move. He stood still, frozen in horror.

Ryoma ran to him. The gunman tried to run away, but to no avail.

Ryoma picked him up by his shirt.

"How did you?" The gunman started, still shaking.

"We knew you were there." Ryoma said.

"When we went into the sheriff's office, it was too quiet. When we walked out, we heard footsteps. And when we walked in here we heard footsteps that weren't our own. If this was anyone else, they would have been done for. But you can't fool me. Now, where's the sheriff?"

"The sheriff?" The gunman repeated, before laughing.

"Where is he?" Ryoma said, shaking him.

The gunman kept laughing.

"He's dead!" A man said from a cell.

Falcon and Ryoma looked on in surprise.

" 'Fraid he's right. Got em good! Ambushed 'em! Then we sent 'em off on a balloon to watch 'em explode for the whole dang town to see!" The gunman said before whistling. "You should have seen those fireworks."

Ryoma and Falcon looked at him in horror and anger. To be this cruel...

Ryoma cuts both of the the gunman's guns, leaving the gunman in horror again. Ryoma let him fall on the ground. He didn't throw him on the ground, but he didn't let him down softly either. Without his guns, he was no threat and he ran off.

"Their leader is probably still here." One of the prisoners in the same cell as the chief said.

"And that guy I just let go is probably going to tell him what happened here." Ryoma said, now next to Falcon.

"Let him. He's got to come to us." Falcon said.

Ryoma put his hand on his chin. "This doesn't make any sense. Ayame ran into the sheriff with Galuda's power stone, but the sheriff is dead."

"Galuda's power stone?" One of the tribe members said in surprise.

"But the power stones are gone, are they not?" Another member who was in the same cell as the woman that spoke earlier asked.

"They were." Falcon said, before he shows his power stone to them. Ryoma shows his as well.

"I am worried for Galuda." The chief said. "But not because of his power stone."

"What do you mean by that?" Falcon asked.

"I sense an evil coming. A great evil. Galuda alone will not be able to defeat this threat." The chief said.

"It must be the guy that stole his power stone. He lied to Ayame about being the sheriff. He stole one, so he'll probably come for the rest to combine them all. We've got to stop him." Falcon said.

"If they ambushed the last sheriff, they aren't afraid to do it again to us. We're going to have to come up with a plan." Ryoma said.

Falcon nodded.

Wood Land

"I'm definitely not jealous that everyone has a power stone but me. And I'm definitely not jealous of Rouge at all." Ayame said to herself, which caused Kikunojo and her mother to look at one another and giggle a little.

"We're almost to the temple." Ayame's father said.

Ayame hearing this caused her to regain her focus. Once they arrived, they saw Wang-Tang serving food. He noticed them and came over to greet them right away.

"Ayame. It's good to see you. All of you. Welcome!" Wang Tang said.

"Wang-Tang! It's great to see you too!" Ayame said.

"I'm guessing you're hear to ask if I want to see one of your shows." Wang-Tang said.

"Nope. We came here to see if you found your power stone yet." Ayame asked.

Wang-Tang blinked and had a look of surprise and confusion. "My power stone? But those disappeared."

"They did. But, Galuda, Ryoma, and Falcon found theirs." Ayame said.

"Hmm. Well then I guess I haven't find mine yet." Wang Tang said.

"Join the club. I haven't find mine either." Ayame said.

"Well that's unfortunate." Wang-Tang said.

"That's not the worst of it." Ayame said.

Wang-Tang let out a slight gasp of surprise and wondered what could have been worse.

"Galuda's stone was stolen." Ayame said, to the shock of Wang-Tang.

"Is he alright?" Wang-Tang asked, concern on his face.

"I don't know. Falcon and Ryoma went to Eagle Town to get some answers on what happened. And maybe even find the guy that took it." Ayame said.

"We're going to Gold Land next to find Gunrock. You should come with us. You might even find your power stone along the way." Ayame offered.

"I would like nothing more than to come with you and help. But I have to check with my master first." Wang-Tang said.

"Master, may I go with Ayame on a journey? She says that the power stones have returned. But Galuda's was stolen. I want to help her and the rest of my friends find Galuda and his stone." Wang-Tang explained.

"The power stones? If one of the power stones was stolen, then whoever took it means serious business and must be stopped before they take the rest. Help your friends. Just don't be too long! We'll miss your cooking!" His master said.

Wang-Tang smiled. "Right, thank you, Master." He said, bowing in appreciation.

"Remember you're training! Even during your journey, there is always an opportunity to learn more and train." His master called out.

Wang-Tang puts one fist in the other's hand and lowers his head. "I won't."

"Come on! Or we'll leave you behind!" Ayame said.

"I'm right behind you!" Wang-Tang said.

Ayame waved to everyone that was in front of the temple entrance goodbye. One down, two more to go.
