On the other side, they were taken to what looks to be a city esk place. But it looks to be very action based.
Aero: Woah this place is huge! This place is bigger then volk!
Klonoa: You know, this feels kind of familiar to me.
Balan: Is there any familiarity in that noise?
Klonoa: Yeah it sounds like. . .Motorcycle noises?
And it would seem that some of the residents were actually roaming and testing out their skills. Some of the more stubborn ones that Balan would sometimes encounter, were trying to use new skills. Or even using some kind of weapons, most were western theme.
Aero: That's weird, aren't they only suppose to have at least one skill?
Balan: It seems the Inhabitants here are motorcycle junkies.
Klonoa: Woah watch out!
They dodged as some drove over or past them, with Klonoa sidestepping, Balan flying up while Aero jumped out of the way.
Aero: The heck was that about?! What's their issue?!
Balan: Mind your surroundings, you reckless monkeys! Humpf! Such a terrible way to welcome guests, even hosts.
Some took offense to that, yet drove off without confronting the maestro, even with the rebellious ones, they knew not to challenge the maestro. Aero and Klonoa were pondering about the setting they were in.
Aero: Is it just me, or is this place really how Guntz views his own personal place to be?
Balan: It is like I've said before you two. A Visitor's Stage is a reflection of their heart and mind. Given the biker cowboy aesthetic, his case is one-of-a-kind.
Klonoa: A cowboy bounty hunter. Well there's a sentence I'd never thought to learn about, , ,or say.
Aero: I think we should try to ask some folks around. Hopefully they're not as dangerous as our first "friends".
Balan: Agreed. At least these Inhabitants are not Negati.
They explored a bit and some parts were actually more crazy. It was when they encountered a Tornado Wolf with some kind of attire that looked almost like that of a sheriff's or a top cowboy.
: Well hey there boss, how's the new stage doing it for ya?
Balan: You can say it gave us quite the adrenaline rush, upon first meeting.
Klonoa: It's pretty crazy, and my butt almost got blasted!
Aero: Yeah eh heh heh it really is crazy.
: Hey there kid, it seems you finally saved your brother. I knew that pup and you could do it!
It was when Klonoa got a closer look and could see that it was the same tornado wolf that's helped before. Only it seemed that they were much larger and the colors appeared slightly golden and charcoal black.
Klonoa: Huh? Oh you're that Tornado Wolf that teamed up with Guntz! Sorry I didn't recognize you for a moment.
: It's fine, what really does matter now, is that you're here on another adventure.
Aero: We are, and it's finding Guntz.
Balan: I do hope your insurance can cover the insanity of this place.
T-Wolf: Sorry boss, it seems there have been strange things happening. And some of the others seem to be acting more chaotic. I think it's the aura that surrounds this place.
Aero: And what's with the attire?
T-Wolf: I found it when I was exploring this place. Felt that it was important, and that it would be easy for you kids to recognize me.
While they were catching up, the maestro looked at their surroundings, trying to sense in case any enemies were around.
Balan: I can sense Negativity circulating. A faint, but notable trace. I do not suppose a boss has appeared?
T-Wolf: Yes I have managed to see it. If not only for a moment before it vanished without a trace. It was quite big, but surrounded in shadow, yet there were markings of different colors.
Klonoa: Well where was it the last place you saw it?
T-Wolf: It was within an area that was near the second stage. It was around mining and ruin-like areas. But there was something that shouldn't have been there. . .
That last bit sounded pretty concerning and listening to that concerned Balan as well, and ensured that whatever was out there, was what they were looking for.
Aero: What about Guntz, is he somewhere here?
: I heard he was seen riding atop a really advanced looking motorcycle. And many of the others wanted to try for themselves.
Balan: It seems his influence is the backbone of his Stage.
Aero: This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. He can be a show off. But he mostly works alone.
Klonoa: Well maybe we should try and see if we can locate him.
: There is just one thing, seems Wolf of the bounty has been affected by whatever Lance did to him. But I could tell he wasn't harmed, just his appearance.
Aero: His appearance huh, I wonder what that could mean.
Klonoa: I bet that negati has something to do with this too.
: Would also be wise to just play along. Who knows you might learn a thing or two about dealing with this new foe.
The Maestro agreed, and could see a new Inhabitant for this stage approach them. It looked like a coyboy with guns at the hips. Balan knew this one tends to get into all kinds of mischief, at least the older ones knew better.
Bullet the kid: Well now, look who came right into town. I reckon you two came for a reason.
Aero: Yeah, we came looking for Guntz.
: Wolf of the bounty, these boys here are meaning to find him.
Balan: Have there been any Negati sightings recently?
The coyboy glanced at the wolf, before looking at the trio. And giving a tug on his hat.
Bullet the kid: Yeah but the sheriff told me not to tell. Sorry but I ain't talking.
Klonoa: You can't be serious! This is really important and we want answers!
Aero: Hang on a moment Klonoa, I think I have an idea. What do you say we can make a trade?
Bullet the kid: A trade you say? Or perhaps a deal. What'ch yur offer partner?
Aero: How about this, we'll do something for you. In exchange, , , you tell us what you know cowboy.
Balan: A compromise may help both of us in the journey ahead, equally. After all, the welfare of the Stage is at stake, and we may prevent a disaster once the Cast Member's positivity is once again awake.
Klonoa: "Yeah and not having many being jerks, or trying to run us over or shoot us like we're animals."
Klonoa whispers to the maestro and Tornado Wolf, who nodded in agreement.
Bullet the kid: Alright, , ,partner you got yurself a deal. You see, some darn negatis had captured my comrades. And I can't get near due to hazards.
He pointed to what looked like another town. Must be a part of the stage, , ,then that must mean this place is much larger then Balan had originally thought.
Aero: Huh sounds to me these guys aren't as simple minded as I thought.
Balan: As that old saying would go, 'when in Rome'
With a wave of his hand toward his hat, his outfit changed from the white suit and top hat to a cowboy's outfit with the 10-gallon hat.
: Ha ha playing up the role this time eh boss!? Glad you could get in the spirit of this place!
Klonoa: Wow!~ That's cool!
Aero: Still glad to see you still have your touch in getting into the feel Balan.
Balan: Thank you, boys~.
He even helped by giving them some theme clothes as well. Something the boys were ecstatic to get into. Klonoa wearing what looked to be that of a deputy, that was colored of brownish blue, red and yellow. While Aero had gotten a sort of tradigital cowboy attire, with a hat that let's his ears be free.
Aero: -whistles- Sweet, I can get behind this!
Klonoa: Same! Maybe we can visit volk and see if they have something like these.
Balan: Prepare your wind and shrapnel bullets, boys!
And like on que, there were bikes in the style of horses. Along with being the right sizes for them.
: You guys go on ahead, I'll do some more investigation. If I find anything useful, I'll be sure to let you know.
Balan: That will be great, and we'll be sure to be on alert, should this negati boss decided to make itself known.
: Y'all keep yourselves out of trouble you hear.
Once they were ready, the three drove off. Not knowing what they could encounter, yet have the feeling that this adventure will be filled with more surprises.
