Episode 13: An Unlikely Favor

3 Days Later

Falco is wondering along, alone on the streets of Corneria at 2:00 AM.

Just then Falco was grabbed by a shadow-y figure with the mysterious figure, covering Falco's mouth with Falco struggling to shake the man off.

Falco managed to break free.

"What are you doing!? Getting me mugged for money!?" Falco shrieked to the bystander.

A few seconds of silence pass, then the shadow-y figure reveals himself.

It was Leon Powleski.

"Falco."

"Leon..." Falco rolled his eyes in response.

"I need a favor to be done by you, Falco." Leon started.

"Why don't you get your Star Wolf hooligans to help you out, instead?" Falco said.

"Bulletstrane captured them in Zoness." Leon replied.

"What?" Falco, said looking puzzled.

"Ahopper, Sphera and Panther - she's holding them hostage in Zoness." Leon said.

"Why would that concern me?" Falco snapped his fingers to him.

"You witness many of your friends perish. What good would it make you feel, if you knew someone you loved was about to kick the bucket and you shrug it off like it was nothing?" Leon said, directly in his face.

Falco doesn't respond.

"I won't even ask you for anything in return. We got sick and tired waiting for Bulletstrane to pay us money and of course, she didn't pay up her dividends in return." Leon said to Lombardi.

"Why would she? Again, why should I help you?" Falco remarked.

"Isn't that how your Father died, drowning in Zoness?" Leon replied.

Falco tried to punch Leon in the face but, Leon restrained his punch, gripping his arm from behind as he was shorter, quicker and smaller of the two.

"Nothing in return Falco. Just this once. This one time." Leon said, to him holding Lombardi down to his knees.

Leon let go of his grip on Falco's arms and the two have a stare down with Leon casually walking away.

Falco Lombardi stood there, staring at Leon Powleski's figure and shadow, disappearing into the unknown.
