"StarFox Command, we have captured the intruder, repeat, we have captured the intruder, "
"I…have failed. I have failed to invade the StarFox team, I can't go on…I now lay here….slipping into unconsciousness….. I await as the shadows get closer, they are grabbing me from all sides, they won't go away….please…..just go away…go…away…..I'm sorry Wolf….I tried…I tried my best for you…." Blade awoke with a jolt, cold sweat dripping from her purple fur, she quickly rubbed her face and looked at her surroundings. A dark room, with just a small lamp to light it. She felt that she was trapped, but she also somehow felt comfort. She was laying on a bed, with soft covers around her. A warm hand rested on her shoulder.
"Your injuries were very bad, you should rest, whoever you are." Blade looked up to the face of a red vixen, whose hazel eyes sparkled like the stars themselves.
"Who, are you…..where am I?" Blade tried to figure out what was going on.
"You are being held here, until we figure out what to do with you. My name is Hikari, of StarFox. I'm supposed to be watching over you while you're here." Blade struggled to get out of bed, but failed. Hikari quickly stopped her."Don't, you won't be able to walk for a while, you're wasting your time."
"Why would you bother to save me if you wanted me gone!" Blade growled, confused.
"Whether you're an enemy or not, we couldn't leave you to die like that, you know we're not cold-hearted like StarWolf is.""StarWolf is not cold, I'd fight to the death for them!" Hikari's eyes widened when she heard this.
"So you have something to do with them? I should have known, who else would suddenly attack our base like that." Blade sunk back into the bed, holding back tears.
"I would have joined them…..but Wolf does not accept me yet, I had to prove to him that I could take down the StarFox team!" Hikari giggled at this.
"By yourself? Why would you try such a thing, and for that Wolf?"
"You don't understand, you don't know him…. Come to think of it, I never heard of you when I was studying about StarFox, how did you get on the team!"
"Well, I'm with Falco, my love." she blushed.
"Falco…..wait, he's the one who shot me down! I remember, that's the last thing I saw before I went down…. it was Falco.
"Yes, he's gotten very strong lately, I was very worried at first, but he always seems to come through in a mission." for a moment Blade seemed to forget all her hatred for StarFox, Hikari seemed so nice, was her decision to attack wrong? Could she have prevented this horrible accident?
"Mama, mama!" suddenly a young falcon-fox came running into the room, his eyes bright with life.
"Yes sweetheart what is it?" Hikari smiled.
"Dad says breakfast is ready in the main room!"
"Alright honey, I'll be right there." the child stared up at Blade with a curious look on his face.
"Who is this, mama?"
"Oh, she's…..a friend." the child just smiled and ran out of the room.
"Who was that?" Blade asked bewilderingly
."Oh, my lovely Anoki, my son." Hikari smiled and stood up.
"I have to go for now, I'll be back. "
"What about me?" Blade struggled again to get out of bed, wincing from the pain her legs gave her.
"Don't worry, I'll bring back something for you. Get some rest, and keep this on your legs so they will heal." Hikari handed Blade a small cloth with a blue-looking medicine smeared on watched as she left, wondering what she should do.
"I don't understand, Hikari called me…..friend? I attacked her team, and yet…." She laid her head down on her pillow.
"Perhaps…..I was wrong, I was wrong this whole time, StarFox isn't evil, it's the opposite, its team members seem to be very nice, at least, I know Hikari is. But Wolf….he's still worth what I've been through, If I have to risk my life like that…then I must…. There must be some way I can prove to him….what I feel…." Blade could no longer stay awake, she sunk into a deep sleep, dreaming once more of her precious Wolf….
