The sky was bright, nay a cloud in the sky as the citizens of Corneria went about their business. In a fairly large house the sound of laughter and talking could be heard.
"C'mon Foxie, you're bluffing. There is no way you have a winning hand this time."
"We'll just see about that Falco, it isn't over till it is over."
"I do not understand why you two insist on playing this game of chance every weekend."
"Well we got to deal with our downtime somehow, Krystal. Besides I always enjoy watching Fox sweat."
"Just keep dreaming bird boy, you may one day be the one who is nervous."
Inside the house three of what seemed to be anthropomorphic animals were sitting at a table, a blue pheasant with red details around his eyes. A blue Vixen with white markings and the third an auburn colored fox with cream accents to his fur. This trio was none other than members of the mercenary group called Starfox. The mercenary group had defended the star system of Lylat against many threats over the years.
The fox laughs again "Aw c'mon Falco" He said to the blue Avian "Don't get all serious on me now."
Falco scoffs "Oh please Fox, anyway I think it's time for each of us to show our hands." He lays down his cards revealing three fours and two sixes. "There we go, full house…Beat that Fox" He smirks.
Fox sighs before laying down his hand revealing a pair of two's, a five and a seven.
Falco laughs "I knew it, I knew you were bluffing"
Fox merely shoots a smirk in Krystal's direction and she in turn slowly placed her cards down, revealing a ten through ace all in clubs, which in turn made Falco's jaw drop "Well, I don't know about you, but I'd wager a royal flush beats a full house." She says with a very satisfied grin before collecting the small pile of currency in the centre of the table.
Falco just shakes his head slowly "Damn, beaten by a chick…"
Fox and Krystal both start to laugh before fox says in a smug voice "Oh man that was so worth losing to see the look on your face Falco."
Before any of them could reply an explosion like sound erupted from outside causing the trio to rush outside to investigate.
High in the sky what appeared to be some kind of fighter craft was plummeting towards the ground at a high speed. It seemed to slow down at the last moment before slamming rather heavily into the ground within meters of their house.
Running forward, Fox Stopped in front of the fighter craft. Taking his blaster from its holster he carefully climbs onto the wing of this craft and looks inside the cockpit. Seeing a figure slump over the controls he tries to pry the canopy open. When that fails Fox then simply shoots the canopy open. Gently grabbing the occupant he pulls it back and is quite shocked at what he sees.
The occupant looked like nothing he had seen before, at a glance it looked like some kind of hairless ape. Checking its pulse Fox could tell it was still alive. Giving the body a quick once over he could tell that it was in bad shape. Its flight suit was torn and it was bleeding from multiple wounds.
Gently Fox lifts the occupant out of the craft before laying it down on the grass before looking to the others. "Get General Pepper on the phone, he is going to want to know about this."
