Falcon, wearing a cowboy hat ordered some milk from the saloon bar. He tips his cap after paying and goes to a table to drink. After drinking almost all of it, he puts his feet up on the table and crosses them, looking as if he was resting.

A few minutes passed, and he was surrounded by 5 men.

"Can I help you gentleman?" Falcon asked in a deeper voice as if he was actually sleep, cowboy hat still low.

"Yeah, you can help us. Outside." One of the larger men said.

"Trying not to make a scene huh? Respectable." Falcon said.

"Alright." Falcon stands up. "Let's go. I'll be right behind you." He said after standing.

"You ain't pullin' any funny business on us. You're going first." The second man said.

Falcon puts his hands up in surrender. "Alright. Whatever works." He said, going along with them. As they said, he leaves the saloon first, and the men come out right behind him.

"Pretty bold for you to come out here all by your lonesome. No guns or anything to protect yourself with." The larger man said.

"Yeah, where's your friend?" The third man said.

"I've got no idea who you're talking about. You're going to have to be specific." Falcon said.

"Don't play stupid with us. We were already told there were twos of ya." The fifth man said.

"Now where is he?" The third man said.

"Come out! If you were going to try to ambush us, it ain't gonna work! We got your friend surrounded." The larger man called out.

"So if yous don't want anything ta happen him, I suggest yous come out! Ya get ten seconds to come out ya hear!" The fifth man said.

The second man started to count down. "Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!"

"Okay! Okay! I give! I'll give you this if you let me go." Falcon said, showing a power stone. Except this power stone was yellow.

"Huh?" The larger man said, surprised that he had this.

"Well ain't you purdy." The fifth man said.

"A diamond? We're gonna give this to the boss." He said, taking the stone.

"POWER EXPLOSION!" A voice said as a shower of missiles came from above.

"What the?" The fourth man spoke for the first time.

They all scattered. In the chaos, Falcon took the stone back, but it was revealed to not be him. It was Ryoma!

"Took you long enough. I had to improvise and give up my stone." Ryoma said in Falcon's clothes.

"Yeah, I'm not exactly a specialist when it comes to sneaking around like you." Falcon said.

"What the heck is that?" The larger man asked, referring to Falcon's power change.

"POWER MISSILE!" He said, launching a rocket punch and hitting one of the men, knocking him down. It was the third man. Scared of Falcon, they all ran away.

Falcon flew to him.

The man instantly tried to shoot him, but it had no effect because of the suit.

The man started to stutter in his speech out of fear after realizing the bullet had no effect. "What the heck are you?"

"What I am doesn't matter. Tell your boss that he's not hurting anyone else anymore. If he wants to fight, tell him he has to fight fair. No tricks, no ambushes." Falcon said, before dropping him, allowing him to run off.

Falcon reverts back, wearing his own set of clothes again.

Ryoma continues to think. "This still doesn't make any sense. If they knew about the stones, why didn't they take it from me as soon as I went outside?"

"When you said you had to improvise, that's what you meant." Falcon said.

Ryoma nodded. "I showed it to them, and they acted as if they'd never seen it before."

"Hopefully once we find their leader, we'll get some answers." Falcon said.

"So you two have these 'stones' too?" A voice asked behind them. Falcon and Ryoma turned towards him.

"Forgive me for eavesdropping. I just got here so I overheard a little of your conversation." The cowboy said.

"Who are you? And how do you know about the stones?" Falcon asked, having his suspicions. But he needed to confirm it first.

"Where are my manners?" The cowboy said. He tipped his hat. "Accel. I'm the sheriff of Eagle Town. And I know because I have one myself." He said, taking something out of his pocket and revealing it to be a stone.

"That's not a power stone." Falcon said. Accel looked at him in silence, waiting for an explanation. "That one's silver. There was never a silver stone."

"Unless." Ryoma thought.

Falcon pointed an accusatory finger at him. "You're the one that stole Galuda's stone." He accused.

'What? I never took any stone. I found it. I never even knew had one of these." Accel said.

"If you didn't know he had a stone, how come you know about the stones?" Ryoma asked.

"There's not much I know about these things, considering I just happened to find mine today. I didn't even know there were multiple until I heard you two." Accel said.

"Enough! Give us Galuda's stone, now!" Falcon said.

"If this is Galuda's stone, I apologize." Accel said before pulling out the silver stone. "Here, take it." He said, holding it out.

"I already told you that's not Galuda's stone. Fine, if you won't give us the stone willingly, we've got no choice." Falcon said.

"POWER CHANGE!" Falcon said, transforming.

"I hate to do this but it looks like I've got no choice." Accel said. The silver stone glows in his hand, which Ryoma notices. "POWER CHANGE!" Accel transforms.

"POWER EXPLOSION!" Falcon calls out sending volleys of missiles at his adversary.

Accel looks on at the missiles. "BEAT ASSAULT!" Accel calls out, pistols extending from his fists. He shoots down the missiles with crisp accuracy.

"Ryoma, what are you waiting for? You've got to transform so we can beat him." Falcon said.

"I don't think he stole Galuda's power stone." Ryoma said.

"What the heck are you talking about Ryoma. He's using it right now!" Falcon said.

Accel shoots more bullets but Falcon dodges them.

"CRAZY REVOLVER!" Accel calls out. He readies his pistols and shoots five bullets from them. But these tracked.

"Tracking huh? I've got the perfect counter." Falcon said, low.

"POWER HURRICANE!" Falcon said, surrounding himself in fire, the bullets blow. Ryoma, believing that he wouldn't be able to dodge all of the remnants of the bullet, uses his stone. "POWER CHANGE!" Ryoma said, transforming to protect himself. A few pieces of the bullets harmlessly bounce off him. The second the fire disappears, he makes his next move.

"POWER ROCKET!" Falcon said, charging at Accel. Accel, using the wheels on his feet, attempts to use his speed to get out of the way. Which he was successful at dodging the first, but not so much on the second charge, when Falcon turned around, knocking Accel down.

Ryoma jumps in front of Falcon and Accel before they continue fighting.

"Stop!" Ryoma said.

"Ryoma what are you doing!?" Falcon asked.

"Accel didn't steal Galuda's stone." Ryoma said.

"What are you talking about? He's using it now!" Falcon said.

"The silver stone. I don't know how, but he used that stone to transform." Ryoma explained.

Falcon still didn't believe him.

"Accel, show him the stone and change back." Ryoma said.

Accel was hesitant to do so. "If you want us to believe you didn't take the stone, do it." Ryoma said.

Accel reverted back. And there in his hand was the silver stone.

"You were right. I guess Ayame was wrong." Falcon said before reverting back.

Falcon offers a hand to help him up. Accel takes it. Ryoma reverts back as well.

"Sorry about that." Falcon said.

"No worries. Just a misunderstanding." Accel said.

"How did you get that stone? I've never seen that one before." Falcon asked.

"I don't know. Group of outlaws ambushed me and tied me to a balloon. Sent me up to die by dynamite. Next thing I know, my body feels like metal and I escape and land in Londo. And the story goes on from there, leading all the way to me being here." Accel said.

"So you're the sheriff that everyone thought died." Ryoma said.

Accel nodded. "Now I'm here to serve justice and free the people of Eagle Town from the clutches of these dirty outlaws."

"Then we have a common goal. Let's do this. Together." Falcon said.

Falcon and Ryoma both shook Accel's hand to tie the agreement.

"I'll be the one to take their leader. I've got a score to settle with him." Accel said.

"But from what we've already seen, he's and his crew aren't afraid to play dirty." Falcon said, noting most recently when he had to take out all the outlaws that were planning to ambush Ryoma.

"I already have that accounted for." Accel said, grinning as he was looking at the stone in his hand as it shined.

Gold Land

Gunrock was playing a game of Texas Hold 'Em in a casino. "Three in a row! I win again!" Gunrock announced, as his opponents slumped in defeat.

"Yes sir, my good luck charm is back!" He thought.

The entrance door opened, and Ayame, Wang-Tang and her family all entered.

"Gunrock!" Wang-Tang called out, and Ayame and the others waved.

When he recognized them, a big smile creeped across his face.

"Ah! Hello my friends!" Gunrock said going up to them to greet them.

"So, what brings you all here?" Gunrock said, stone in hand before he tried to take a guess and answer his own question. "I suppose it has something to do with this." He said, showing them the gold stone.

"Bingo!" Ayame said.

"So have you two found your stones too?" Gunrock asked.

"Unfortunately no." Wang-Tang said.

"Unlucky. What if you two borrow my stone? Maybe it'll give you the luck you need to find yours." Gunrock offered.

"No thanks. Besides, I've already seen firsthand that sharing stones doesn't exactly work out." Ayame said.

"Falcon and Ryoma have their stones, but... I'm afraid Galuda's in trouble." Wang-Tang said.

Gunrock's usual jolly expressions were no longer present. "What happened to him?" Gunrock asked.

"I don't know. His stone was stolen by someone, but I don't know what happened to Galuda himself." Ayame said.

"Well, what are we standing around here waiting for? Let's go and find him!" Galuda said.

"Falcon and Ryoma are already on it back in Eagle Town. We'll meet up with them after we find Rouge." Ayame said.

"I'll have to tell Cassie about what's going on before I go." Gunrock said.

Gunrock's house

"Gunrock? What's happening?" Cassie asked, noticing that Ayame and Wang-Tang was with him.

"I have to help my friends. Galuda may be in trouble. His stone was stolen." Gunrock explained.

"That's terrible!" Cassie said, worried, before nodding, understanding what they have to do. "Just be careful." She said before hugging Gunrock tightly for several seconds. As they left, Cassie and her eight children waved goodbye.

"Good luck! Tell Falcon I said hello!" Cassie called out.

"Next stop: Fire Land!" Ayame said.


A/N: Falcon, who was really Ryoma getting milk was inspired by the Yugioh 5ds moment where Yusei ordered milk. Most of the protoganists in the series actually aren't old enough to drink alcohol, which reminded me of that scene. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up for me to not put a scene like that into the story.
