Falco story
I had a question about the background story of Falco (where he come from) and I got this idea for a new fanfic. Let's see if you like it.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
It was late night after a great dinner with all Star Fox Team in Fox house after some months of not seeing each other, not even flying together, Krysta was talking with Peppy who was about leave, Sleepy was gone already and Falco was with Fox at the roof.
Up there, was a clear and dark night, all the stars were able to see, fresh air with some wind; both bestfriends were resting at the roof seeing the stars with some occasional nostalgic talk.
"It's weird to see the stars from a planet, isn't it?" Falco mentioned with a casual laugh.
"Yes…" knowing where that question was going, Fox just gave a short answer.
Falco sighed, knowing that Fox didn't want to talk about getting more missions.
"We are getting old" Fox said.
"we?, don't think so" joking Falco answered.
"I mean, we have a lot of memories, adventures and thrilling moments" Fox corrected his say.
"Yup, most of them thrilling" Falco say that while remembering some moments.
"Hey remember the last day of training here in Corneria, we were getting a dinner as well" Fox remembered that night as any other night; he was at the edge of the start his own team with the remnant of the original Star Fox team…
"I still have that motorcycle" Falco was laughing "You were about to screw everything that night"
"Hey, that's not fair" a little mad Fox answered. "I was really sad about my Father dead, something you never understood"
"Oh, come on Foxie, you almost killed yourself; and yes you don't know how to drive a car" Falco said
"By the way you never told me about your past" wanting to change the subject Fox start something Falco always evade.
"Don't change it, I saved your life that night, was the first of more than…" Falco lost the count of how many time he saved Fox "God know how many times he wanted to take you and I pulled you back"
Fox laugh and then he answered "yeah, that was a horrible night…"
-o-o-o-
That night.
That night was the beginning of everything for Fox and the end of the original Star Fox Team. Was the night he replaced his father and start to walk with his shoes for the first time. Also was the last night of training and the first step of the team; Peppy was giving a dinner before start some mission.
It was a cold and clear night, Peppy was watching or better say sleeping the TV and Sleepy was playing some video games, Fox was out of sight and Falco was bored with all that family atmosphere, so he went out of to grab his motorcycle, walking slowly, cause he had anything to do that night and he realized that the pickup of Peppy was gone and also remembered not seeing Fox around, that caught his attention, he didn't know everyone that well to know if that was something normal or not. Trying to not take care of that, he just start the engine and begin to drive, after some blocks he heard the train and something inside of him make him shake; he drove faster, he turn left to an intersection with the train, then followed it, something was calling him, fastener he drove to reach the train.
He was driving at the side of the train and exceeded it, crossing the rail and heading to a close road and parallel to the train. Then the destiny called him, some miles in front of him was a familiar pickup heading to a crossroad, in the perpendicular street he saw a truck, he saw that truck wasn't going to stop at the crossroad, for some reason he knew that, trying to catch the attention of the pickup he flashed it with the light of the motorcycle and sounded the horn, but it didn't work at all, he was already driving fast, but it wasn't enough to chase it.
What happened next sealed the life of both friends.
The truck wasn't driving that fast so it just crash a little the pickup but enough to push it to the rails and give a good hit to Fox head, the truck just continued driving and it get lost in the horizon. Fox was unconscious and in big troubles, cause it was the favorite car of Peppy, but most important, he was at the rails. Falco couldn't think of anything else he just act like knowing what to do. He pushes the accelerator and forced his motorcycle to the speed limit of it; reaching the pickup and throwing himself of the motorcycle, trying to open the copilot door, knowing the time was running, he kicked the window and dash inside to grab fox chest and pull it out. Throwing Fox aside with him and hitting the ground make Fox woke up and moan out of pain, in the moment that the train passed in front of them and crashed the car, overturning it towards a side of the rails; The sound was deafening and scary. Both were laying in the rocks covering their faces, when the train passed away and everything get more quiet, Fox got in shock at seeing the view.
"What have you done Fox?" almost with the tone of a joke Falco asked.
With some pain Fox said "I just… get distracted" he couldn't answer anything else, he didn't know what to tell, or even tell what just happened.
The questions start to run in their head, why? how?.
But Fox only turn around to see Falco and say "Thanks"
Falco just laugh out loud.
"That was the most exciting thing I have ever done, if this is what means to be in your team, I'm in" Falco said with some adrenaline that left.
Fox confused "Really? I thought it was breathtaking and shocking…" also sad cause he really mess this time. He just get serious and down his head.
"Hey, heads up, you are alive and no one knows this" Falco tried to cheer him up.
"But that was the favorite car of Peppy, what I'm supposed to do with that?" Fox almost shouted it with some angry.
"Don't worry I'll fix it" careless Falco answered.
The next morning, Fox gave a new pickup to Peppy as a surprise in the hangars for the new beginning.
"Thanks Fox, it's really cool" Peppy was surprised
"New car, new start and new team ready to run" Fox said smiling to Peppy, knowing what happened hours ago and also knowing that everything were going to be all right.
-o-o-o-
"I had never told anyone about it" Falco said
"Neither do I" Fox smiled and asked "By the way what did you do to the pickup?"
"I buried deep in a junkyard" Falco smiled back.
Fox laughed.
Both continued seeing the stars resting of life of memories.
