As Ryuko and Kaito prepared to respond to Elysia's invitation to the interstellar dance-off, they suddenly found themselves caught in a whirlwind of dazzling lights and funky tunes. Before they knew it, they were sucked into a cosmic vortex that transported them to a whole new planet.
Elysia was left dancing in frustration, her groovy moves echoing through the now-empty swamp. It appeared that this world had a very different theme from the one they had just left behind.
The two boys, still sporting their chicken suits, looked around the area, confirming their suspicions. This new world had a distinct Western cowboy theme, complete with tumbleweeds and a saloon.
Hearing gunshots in the distance, they clucked their way towards the commotion, still in the groove, doing the moonwalk with music playing in the back ground , and disco sliding as they approached a crowd of people who appeared to be in the midst of a Wild West showdown.
The townsfolk stared at them, bewildered by the sudden appearance of two chicken-suited strangers.
"Y'all look a mite peculiar," drawled one of the locals, his cowboy hat casting a shadow over his face. "You city slickers lost?"
Ryuko and Kaito, determined to make the best of this quirky situation, embraced the Western theme with enthusiasm. They clucked and wobbled in their chicken suits while attempting to mimic the deep and rugged accents of the Wild West.
"Well now, partner," Ryuko began in his best Western drawl, "we done got ourselves caught in this here peculiar predicament. Reckon y'all could lend a hand?"
The locals exchanged amused glances, unsure of whether these newcomers were genuinely lost or just putting on a show. Either way, they decided to play along with the oddity of the situation.
The town's sheriff, a grizzled old-timer with a long, gray beard, stepped forward. "Well, I reckon we can help you city folk. But there's a favor we need from y'all."
Kaito chimed in, still maintaining his Western twang. "What kind of favor are we talkin' 'bout here, sheriff?"
The sheriff leaned in, his voice low and secretive. "We got ourselves a real chicken thief in these parts. A masked bandit who's been rustlin' up all our cluckers. Reckon y'all can help us catch that no-good varmint?"
Ryuko and Kaito exchanged glances before and Ryuko responded, "Well, sheriff, you got yourself a deal! We'll rustle up that chicken thief and bring 'em to justice."
Amidst the peculiar crowd of Western-themed townsfolk, Kaito pulled Ryuko aside, a look of concern in his chicken-masked face. With an exasperated "Pokooook!" of chicken-like frustration, he voiced his worries.
"How in tarnation are we gonna help these folks, Ryuko? We ain't got a cluckin' clue 'bout the thieves, and they might be packin' heat!"
Ryuko, still clucking and wobbling in his chicken suit, attempted to reassure his friend. "Now, Kaito, don't ruffle your feathers. We'll find a way, and we'll do it the Western way, y'see? I ain't leavin' my feathered brethren to fend for themselves. We're all in this together."
Kaito had to bring Ryuko back to reality. He gestured to their chicken suits and reminded his partner, "Ryuko, we ain't actual chickens. We're humans dressed up like chickens, don't forget."
Ryuko scratched his head through the chicken mask, looking sheepish. "Oh, right. It's almost like wearin' these suits for so long is turnin' us into actual chickens." He clucked in agreement, and then abruptly said, "But we still can't just up and leave our brethren to the wolves."
With a series of clucks, caws, and even a few "cuck ka doodle doos," Ryuko and Kaito exchanged a comical moment of solidarity. The sun in the Western sky continued its ascent as the two chicken-suited heroes stood firm.
The townsfolk watched in bemusement as these strange chicken-suit-clad men continued their odd chicken calls for a full 13 minutes, questioning whether they were genuine saviors or just another oddity in their Wild West world. Little did they know, Ryuko and Kaito were determined to bring justice to the chicken-stealing bandits, even if it meant clucking their way through the Wild West.
