Luigi and Trix: For the search of courage

PROLOGUE -

This is a story, when… well, is something hard to tell, because it is about a conflict, action, friendship, and love, but when we mix it, it appear a big bowl of a great adventure, or something like that.

My name is Trix Fehrris, I'm a mercenary and pilot of the Federative Air Force, a global force of Air, sea and ground units with the purpose of defend the lands of Earth of anything that we can all it as "Hostile". It is a great job, but to be honest, everything took a spin in my life, being a mercenary… well, it is about that you can call "Easy money", just for save a town, escort VIP's, or anything like that, If I really enjoy this life?... I can't explain, probably I will in the progress of this mission that was assigned by the Sarasaland king, how that happen? It'll be funny if you read it, but I'll count it anyway…

It all started in the skies of Sarasaland, 30 Km of Chai kingdom, where the king and queen are established, I'm part of the Fire flower squadron as Fire flower 3:

-Command: Fire flower squadron, an unknown craft is running away, permission granted to destroy that enemy.

-Fire flower 3: Roger that.

-Fire flower 2: Let's do it.

They were 2 crafts that separated from the formation to hunt down the unknown craft, the plane of the Fire flower squadron is a SU-45 Woodpecker, a both fighter and VTOL craft used for multipurpose, all-weather missions, in the atmosphere and the space.

-Fire flower leader: Hey, where are you going? , Head back here, now! –The leader said it with angry.

-Fire flower 3: We almost near its position, we can take it.

-Fire flower 2: I just hope it's not another attack, like yesterday.

-Fire flower 4: Count on it, but just head back, we'll take it together.

-Fire flower 2: Yeah yeah, whatever.

-Fire flower 4: And so, Trix, How's being a mercenary?

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): I can't say much, It's just another work in the office, however, I believed in faith, with that It's possible to complete any mission.

-Fire flower 4: I agree.

-Fire flower leader: Cut the chatter, the craft is almost in range of Chai kingdom.

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): Proceeding at full throttle.

Trix was almost near the craft, then someone was talking in the intercom:

-?: So, you're finally come.

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): Attention unknown craft, you're violating rules of flying through and area without permission, say your intentions and land in a wide area, if our IFF is not responding, we'll have to shoot you down.

-?: Looks like this is how it gonna be, then?

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): Huh? What do you mean?

-Fire flower leader: Something is wrong, he's not responding the IFF, who are you?

-?: I'll tell you who I am, I'm called as Gigatron, looks like you are a little confused about this, right?

-Fire flower leader: About what? What's your intention?

-Gigatron: You'll see it if you can catch me.

He was escaping in full speed:

-Fire flower 4: This isn't good, he is approaching to Chai kingdom, they'll recognize us as hostiles.

-Fire flower leader: They won't, let's catch him, he may have vital information.

The fire flower squadron consist in 8 fighters, the 8 were to full speed to shoot him down, but the craft was too agile to damage it, avoiding missiles and popcorn seeds rounds like a maniac:

-Fire flower leader: What the…?

-Fire flower 5: Who's this guy? How he could avoid all that fire?

-Fire flower leader: Something is really weird here.

-Fire flower 2: No dice, I'm heading in to stop it.

Fire flower leader: No, wait!

It seems that Gigatron have a rear turret, he was firing to Fire flower 2:

-Fire flower 2: Woah! I didn't expected that.

And then he was hit:

-Fire flower leader: Kuni, Are you ok?

-Fire flower 2 (Kuni): Yeah, light damage to the hull, I'm retreating for now.

-Fire flower leader: Trix, he is aiming to you!

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): Not too fast!

With a spreading fire, Gigatron craft was hit, but using an unknown types of missiles, Trix craft engine was on fire:

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): Heavens!

-Gigatron: Here is your present, but that's only the beginning, next time you'll see the true meanings of APEX.

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): APEX?

-Fire flower 2 (Kuni): Trix, your engines are on fire, eject now!

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): Understood.

But when Trix pull off the eject button:

-Fire flower 3 (Trix):? I can't eject, that missiles hit the electrical systems.

-Fire flower 4: We are in Chai kingdom, do something to drop the plane in a safe place.

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): I'll try.

But when Trix tried to eject, one aileron and half wing were torn apart:

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): Oh man, not good.

-Fire flower 2 (Kuni): Do something!

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): …

The last decision was kick the canopy, he made it and jump off the plane, he opened the parachute and saw the rest of the squadron going away:

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): Huhh… just not my day.

When he saw down, his plane was going down, sadly, it was going down between mountains are various palaces, at least the people there could escape before the aircraft crashed:

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): I just hope no one saw that.

Unlucky, the royal guards were waiting for him to catch him:

-Fire flower 3 (Trix): (gulp).

A few hours passed, Trix was in a prison, in the castle prison, it was too awful about that, because for the simple reason of crashing and aircraft in a palace area, it wasn't his fault, and only the guards take it as an excuse, meanwhile, 2 guards were coming to Trix's cell:

Guard: Get up valiant, you have a meeting with the king of Sarasaland.

Trix: My name is not valiant.

Guard 2: Hey! No one told you to speak, now move on.

The guards move Trix into the whole castle until they stopped in the Throne room, where the king and queen of Sarasaland were:

Guard: Your highness, here is the prisoner of the palace scandal.

King Sarasa: Very good, you can go out, I want to talk with him alone.

Guard: Yes your highness.

The guards retired from the throne room:

King Sarasa: So, what we have here?

Trix: …

King Sarasa: Well, at least you weren't breaking the rules, I'll let you talk, but you have to tell me the truth of what happened, understood?!

He nodded with his head:

King Sarasa: Well then, what happened?

Trix: I belong to a squadron called "Fire flower", we got a mission to intercept an unknown aircraft that was heading to this direction, we didn't knew who was, then he opened fire on us, he destroy my ship, I couldn't move it to another place, neither eject, so I kicked the canopy and jumped, I didn't expected that the plane were to crash in a royal area.

King Sarasa: At least it wasn't in my castle, but are you sure that is the truth?

Trix: Yeah.

King Sarasa: Are you sure?

Queen Sarasa: What do we think if this isn't nothing but excuses?

Trix: I'm telling you the truth, with hand in the heart.

King Sarasa: I know people who can tell me the truth, but you… I don't trust you, I need to make you questions, and you will answer. How old are you?

Trix: 23

King Sarasa: Where did you come from?

Trix: I don't know my birthplace, but I belong in a base in Easton Kingdom.

King Sarasa: What's your occupation?

Trix: I'm a fighter pilot and a mercenary….

King Sarasa: HA! I knew it, you aren't someone to trust, you mercenaries only work and betray for money.

Trix: I'm not that type of mercenary, I'm loyal to who hire me.

King Sarasa: Then explain what happened here!

Trix: I'm telling you the truth!

The king was in a moment of silence due to Trix loud voice:

King Sarasa: Is that the modals to the king?

Trix: …

King Sarasa: Won't you answer?

Trix: I just told the truth, I'm not belong to hostile nature.

King Sarasa: For that type of voice tone, you can stay for a long time in prison, you know?

Trix: …

King Sarasa: Then that will….

? : Father!

The king was interrupted by a female voice, she entered to the room, she was a princess who have an orange and yellow dress with a flower in her chest:

King Sarasa: Daisy, what are you doing here?

Princess Daisy: My date with Luigi finished a minutes ago and I returned to the castle, what's all that noise.

King Sarasa: I was arguing with that prisoner.

Princess Daisy: Why?

Queen Sarasa: He was the responsible for the accident in the royal area of Chai, he didn't tell us the truth.

Trix: I!...

King Sarasa: …

Princess Daisy: But father, I though you weren't supposed to yell anymore.

King Sarasa: Is something hard to tell you, I'll discuss it later.

Princess Daisy: Well, tell me now.

King Sarasa: Ok, fine, stay here prisoner.

The king and queen went with their daughter and the hallway to talk in private:

King Sarasa: Listen Daisy, I know what I said before, but crashing a plane into the royal area is a violation of rules, also, is a terrorist attack for the country.

Princess Daisy: I understand, but I don't think it was for purpose.

King Sarasa: How do you know?

Princess Daisy: Because i can know when something like this can happen, also, it seems that the plane didn't have a wing.

Queen Sarasa: Who told you?

Princess Daisy: A guard.

Queen Sarasa: -sigh- … Ok Daisy, we'll trust in him, for now, just go to your room, we have to prepare for the summer celebration in a few days and we want to stay with us, ok?

Princess Daisy: Of course mother, can Luigi come?

King Sarasa: He's your boyfriend and part of the family, of course he can.

Princess Daisy: Thank you so much father –She hugs her family and went to your room.

Queen Sarasa: What we'll do with him?

King Sarasa: I don't know, I'll think it.

Guard: Your highness, we received a letter from the Federative Air Force.

King Sarasa: Let me see it.

The letter says: "to the king and queen of Sarasaland:

We wrote this letter in order to liberate the 2nd Lieutenant Trix Fehrris, because he is one of the best pilots we have and is in a mission along with the 30th division, 14th squadron "Fire flower" in order to maintain peace around the world.

We anticipated your answer.

Atte. The high command of Federative Air Force

Easton Kingdom Air Base, Sarasaland."

King Sarasa: Ok then, we'll let him go.

Queen Sarasa: Good.

The guards went to the throne room, the prisoner still was there:

Guard: Hey you, valiant, we received a letter from your boss, you are free, but we warn you, if you make another nonsense in this kingdom, you'll be a dead man, you understand?!

Trix nodded with his head:

Guard: Very well, now get out.

The guards followed Trix to the Gate, once out the guards closed the door:

Trix: What a weird day.

Then, a Humvee appeared:

Kuni: Trix, you're ok.

Trix: Kuni! It's good to see you, where were you?

Kuni: Sorry if it took long, we couldn't stay because we spotted Gigatron again.

Trix: Where he headed? –He asked with anger.

Kuni: We lost his track beyond Easton Kingdom, 70 km to the west.

Trix: Probably we'll see him again.

Kuni: I don't know, let's back home.

Trix: Yeah.

They headed to the base, even if it'll take a long way.

Meanwhile in the road to Easton Air Base:

-Kuni: So, what happened then?

-Trix: It's so hard so say.

-Kuni: Like what? The guards took you to the castle and you made the king mad.

-Trix: You really know that, right?

-Kuni: Almost, I suggested the send of the letter.

-Trix: At least I can thank you for that.

-Kuni: No problem, but seriously, I don't think if your job of mercenary can adjust your style of life.

-Trix: About what?

-Kuni: Well, to be honest, we are just a regular air force, not a payment check for high value missions, you know?

-Trix: Yeah, so?

-Kuni: So…?

-Trix: Look, if anyone of you take that type of work, it's ok, I'm there because I don't have something to do in the life.

-Kuni: Are you sure?

-Trix: I don't know exactly.

-Kuni: Hey, I'm telling the thing as friends, ok? Tell me, for how long we were friends?

-Trix: I don't know…. 2 or maybe 3 years.

-Kuni: See? You can trust me in everything, besides, if you have faith to do the things, I'm really sure you have to make the right things.

-Trix: Yeah… I agree with you, anyway, what's about that mission?

-Kuni: Oh right, high command told us about someone named Bowser, wanting to attack the Mushroom Kingdom, we'll be dispatched as the same formation like today, but this time we'll have to take more serious the situation… without being destroyed.

-Trix: You really laugh at me for that, isn't it?

-Kuni: Nop, before that, we need some supplies with Erich in Chai kingdom, tomorrow we'll go again.

-Trix: And the mission?

-Kuni: Is in the afternoon, I'm sure you'll be ready for anything, as well as me, Kordoon, Kobler, and the rest, and probably you have to compensate that accident.

-Trix: Yeah, I know.

After the conversation, Trix saw at the window, it was a starry night, he couldn't help but think about what Kuni said:

-Trix: (The meaning of a life, maybe Kuni is right, but what can I do, also, what about Gigatron and the "beginning"?)

After that, in the castle, Princess Daisy was in her room, before she go to sleep, she was brushing her hair, and thinking about some things:

-Princess Daisy: (Oh I'm so happy about the summer celebration, also staying with Luigi and feeling love for him, the best thing apart of being boyfriends, it's that we really have a true love, I didn't know it until we feel it as the times passes, probably that's the life meaning… I really hope so… hehe).

Suddenly she hears some steps:

-Princess Daisy: Um? Is someone there?

She still hears the steps, she began to see who was, probably one of the guards, she didn't knew it until the steps finished in the throne room, she opened the door and no one was there, the only thing that catch her attention is the open curtain and window:

-Princess Daisy: Uhm… probably it was my imagination.

Then she closed the door and the curtain, but suddenly, something was behind her, and everything in the screen went black…

The next morning:

Trix and Kuni arrived at Chai kingdom, where they'll meet Erich for some supplies.

-Kuni: Oh, I just hope that Erich isn't late, like always.

-Trix: Don't worry, we can trust in him, besides, probably had to deal with something.

Suddenly, a woman voice shouted too strong, stunning Kuni and Trix:

-Trix: ?

-Kuni: What happened?

Then someone was running towards them, it was their friend Erich:

-Erich: Hey guys, did you hear what happened?

-Kuni: We just arrived here 5 minutes ago.

-Erich: Then follow me, you'll see it- He talked something tired and scared.

They followed him, it was a big crowd at the castle gates:

-Kuni: Woah! Something happened there?

-Erich: They're saying it in the news, check it, please!

-TV announcer: "We broadcast this transmission concerning something terrible that just happened today, some of the guards of King and Queen Sarasa castle found their daughter, princess Daisy, was encased in crystal-ice form mysteriously, no one can tell what happened between 10:00 pm and 3:00 am, but the try to unfreeze her finished in vain acts…"

-Trix: Uh, what a mess. – He tried to walk to the castle.

-Kuni: Hey, wait!

-TV announcer: "In other news, we received a declaration of an unknown army called themselves "APEX" declaring war from both Mushroom Kingdom and Sarasaland, and other regions as well, knowing the existence of a possibly third contact on Earth, but at the time we can confirmed that…"

Meanwhile in the castle gates:

-Kuni: Hey! What are you doing?

-Trix: I want to see that if is true.

-Kuni: But they won't let us enter, we aren't royals you know, how can they…..

But apparently, no guards were in the gates:

-Kuni: Oh, weird.

-Trix: Route clear, happy?

-Kuni: Sort off.

They went to the throne room, when they arrived, they could see the king and queen, along with some guards and Luigi some sad, especially Luigi for the tragic event of his loved one:

-King Sarasa: No! How that could happen?

Princess Daisy was encased (Or frozen) in ice or crystal, near the window behind the throne, it was a BIG window:

-Queen Sarasa: Our daughter, no!- She was crying for the event.

-Guard: Can we do something for your highness?

-King Sarasa: Just to find the responsible of this, and unfreeze her.

Meanwhile in the hallways, Trix was looking every part of the throne room for a clues, until he found something missing, they have to talk without noise:

-Trix: Something is missing there.

-Kuni: What is it?

-Trix: Is like a… power star, probably when he or she robbed it before freeze the princess.

-Kuni: What can we do?

-Trix: (Beginning….) probably they'll need someone who can prove what happened.

-Kuni: You mean… you?

-Trix: Us.

-Kuni: Ok… probably that will answer the need for compensate the accident?

-Trix: I hope so.

-Kuni: Then do it.

-Trix: I will.

Meanwhile in the throne room:

-King Sarasa: I don't know how, just find the responsible! I will pay anything for it, just I want my daughter back!

-Trix: Your highness!

The king saw Trix, everyone too, they didn't expected their informal entrance:

-King Sarasa: You?! What are you doing here? You want to cause more problems?!

-Trix: No, if you mind or ask about someone to find the responsible, I probably have a clue of who made this, I ask your favor to find who did it.

-King Sarasa: For what reasons? Just for money?

-Trix: No, I want to compensate the accident that I made it yesterday, and restore peace, that's all I want it.

-King Sarasa: How can you prove it?

-Trix: Check my works record on the FAF.

The guard took the record, and gave it to the king, he could see skills, missions, and combat techniques about Trix, after some minutes of review, the king had an answer:

-King Sarasa: Which squadron do you belong?

-Trix: Fire flower squadron.

-King Sarasa: … Fine, I'll give you the favor, just one condition.

-Trix: Yes?

-King Sarasa: Don't fail! Save my daughter and bring back the lost power star!

-Queen Sarasa: Please, save our daughter.

-Trix: I will, don't worry.

-Guard: Your highness, we found a message, probably of the responsible.

The message say: "The summer is in 3 days, if you can't bring back the power star before that time, your daughter will melt down by the sun rays, you better hurry".

-King Sarasa: THAT…!

-Queen Sarasa: Dear, please calm down.

The king calmed down:

-Trix: We'll bring back everything that was stole.

-Luigi: Wait, I'll go with you.

-King Sarasa: Luigi, are you sure?

-Luigi: Yeah, pretty sure, I want to save her, I really loved her, I can't let this happens.

-King Sarasa: well… take care then.

-Luigi: I'll do.

Then Trix and Luigi left the throne room, without before the king looking at Trix, nodding with his head, Trix made the same and went to the hallways:

-Luigi: I'm Luigi, it's a pleasure to meet someone who help me to save Daisy.

-Trix: Trix Fehrris, pilot of FAF.

-Kuni: And I'm Kuni Greens, it's good to meet you too. So, Trix, Did you really have a clue?

-Trix: I hope so.

When they were about to go to the air base, the news reported something again:

TV announcer: We disrupt your current program talking the next:

At this time of the afternoon, several floating ships are heading to the mushroom kingdom, the commander is no one other than Bowser, the king of the Koopas, trying to kidnap princess Peach again…

-Trix: So they finally did it.

-Kuni: What will we do now?

-Trix: Simply… let's sortie.

"After that situation, Luigi, Kuni and I went to the Air base in Easton Kingdom, Luigi had to pass a few tests in order to help us to defeat Bowser and the unknown enemy, at least he will help me being a co-pilot, I heard of him that he is some shy, but it doesn't matter, I know I can trust in him, was well as he in me.

According to the briefing of command, there are 3 areas where Bowser will execute his attacks:

-Above the skies of Mushroom kingdom with this floating fleet.

-The Delfino isle using submarines.

-The mushroom city.

All we could know about the new menace APEX was nothing, but we have to pay attention for awkward situations, then, we were preparing for Take-off, as part of the Fire flower squadron":

-Carrier personnel: Checking systems, electromagnetic launchers ok, pressure… normal, all woodpeckers in position and ready to deploy.

-Command: This probably will be a sudden mission, nothing that you faced before, I'm sure you will handle it, please, everyone, come back in one piece.

-Fire flower leader: We'll do Command.

-Carrier personnel: Stand by for immediate take-off, Ice flower squadron took off, now is their turn.

-Carrier personnel: Understood, preparing launch pads.

8 Woodpeckers were in place:

-Carrier personnel: launching in 5… 4….. 3….. –All the planes started their engines- 2…. 1…. launching now.

And then, when all the fighters took off, the screen turn white…

"And then was the beginning, our beginning, only a thing I can know for now, they got with the wrong people, if this mission is about to save love, then with that I finally will know what life means really…. we'll do it for faith, we'll do it for courage…. WE'LL... DO…. FOR…. JUSTICE…"
