Chapter 2:
Chip sat on a cloud playing his harp, enjoying the bright day in Sky World. After a few minutes the warmth lulled him to sleep. Chip was visited in his dreams by the goddess Palutena.
"Your majesty!" Chip bowed, lowering his his harp. Palutena smiled at him.
"Rise, little one. I have a mission for you." Chip stood.
"Anything you ask, my lady." The goddess waved her hand, and an image of Pit, lying on the battlefield appeared. Chip stared at the image in shock, drawing his bow.
"Your brother has been injured. Do not worry he will be fine, but I fear he and his friends may need help." Chip put away his bow.
"I will go to them at once, my lady!" Palutena smiled again.
"It is good to see you with such confidence. Before you embark on your journey I want you to take this, it will aid you on your way." She handed him a gleaming broadsword.
"It will not fail you in a time of need." Chip nodded, taking the sword from her hands.
"Know go, little one. Help your brother." Chip nodded again.
"At once, my lady." Then, he awoke, the broadsword already strapped to his back along side his bow. Chip walked to the edge of the cloud. he closed his eyes, spreading his wings out wide.
"I will not fail you, your majesty." And he lept from the edge.
Fox aimed his blaster at one of the Primid, shooting it through the head. The target did a flip in the air, and Fox ran at it, unloading a clip into the airborne Primid. The creature exploded in a cloud of red smoke. Fox turned to see Falco rapid fire into the hordes of enemies. The blue falcon raised his gun at a Primd who was trying to sneak up behind a large pink blob, flailing around with a hammer.
"Kirby!" Kirby turned in time to see Falco's blast unite with the back of the Primids head. kirby waved at Falco.
"Thanks, that was close!" Falco nodded. He turned to Fox. "Fox!" The canine was in a wrestling match with a Primid, he ended with a shot to the creature's head. He looked over at Falco.
"What?" Falco fired a few shots into the crowd before answering.
"They're closing in pretty fast." He stopped to land a punch into an adventurous Primd's head. "I don't think we can make it on that ship!" He questured up at the Halberd, soaring above them.
Then, they heard lasers being fired, and a chain of small explosions went off right next to them. Fox turned to see what happened.
"What the?" An AR Wing fighter jet was flying right towards them! They heard a femenin voice cry out in triumph as the fighter jet fired again.
"WOOOHOOO!" The three warriors on the ground watched as the jet flew past trhem. Fox saw a blue glint on the side of the jet.
"Wait, is that...?" He powered up his visor, and zoomed in on the jet.
"Oh no!" Falco glanced at him questioningly.
"What is it, Fox?" Fox pointed at the jet flying back around.
"Look on the side!" Falco powered up his visor, zooming in on the jet. Then, he saw it, the electric blue lightning bolt!
"Oh no..." Kirby squinted at the AR Wing, trying to figure out what the big deal was.
"What is it?" Falco put his head in his hands.
"Echo..." The AR Wing came around for another firing run. As the blasts started landing, a Primid picked up a rocket launcher, and aimed at the jet. Fox saw it, and drew his gun, trying to stop him.
As the shot left Fox's blaster, and the rocket left the Primid's gun, locking onto the myserious AR Wing.
Time seemed to slow as the rocket crashed into the jet. Fox stared in shock as the jet spun out of control, and crashed into the Halberd's hull. He fell to his knees, his face twisted in anguish, staring at the debris flying through the air. Falco also stared in shock at the scene before him, and Kirby stared, not knowing what was going on. Fox buried his face in his hands, shaking with silent grief.
"Echo... sis..." Falco couldn't take his eyes from the explosion, but then, he saw a dark spot plummeting toward them. He zoomed in on it with his visor, and could make out a bushy tail and a pair of pointed ears. The femenin voice ripped the air again.
"OH SNAAAP!" Then, Falco realized what the object was. He looked down at Fox crumpled on the ground.
"Uh, Fox. You might want to get up now." Fox looked up at Falco, tears streaming down his face.
"Just give me a minute, Falco! My sister just died!" Falco pointed upward.
"Uh, no she didn't." Fox looked up.
"What are you talki- oof!" He was cut off by a silver fox landing right on his head. She sat up, holding her own noggin.
"Ow, that kinda stung a little." Their was a grunt underneath her,
"Echo, get off." Echo's eyes lit up.
"Fox! Big brother!" She hugged the orange canine's neck as he sat up. Fox smiled.
"Hey, sis... Glad you're ok." Echo turned and saw Falco trying to hide behind Kirby. She pounced on him, arms outstretched.
"Birdbrain! I missed you!" She grabbed the blue falcon, and climbed onto his back. Falco smirked.
"Hey, Echo." Echo smiled, giggling crazily.
"It's good to see you guys!" Then she noticed Kirby for the first time.
"Le gasp! Pink ball!" She jumped off of Falco's back, and grabbed Kirby, squeezing the life out of him.
"Oh, you're so cute!" Fox stood up, dusting himself off. Falco chuckled,
"Ah well, isn't this a reunion." Fox glared at Falco before powering up his visor again. He spoke into the microphone.
"Slippy, get us out of here." Echo stopped squeezing Kirby, and looked up at Foc.
"Yay! I get to see the team again!" A little while later, the Great Fox flew out of the shroud of red smoke, its hull glinting in the sun.
"Squirtle, return!" A red beam of light connected with a small turtle-like creature, and Squirtle was absorbed into a small red and white ball. The holder of the ball placed it back in his pack, adjusting it around his waist. The Pokemon Trainer pulled his hat tighter over his head, He heard a shout, and turned to see a young blonde boy running towards him. The Trainer waved.
"Hey, Lucas! Where are Marth and Ike?" Lucas stooped next to him, catching his breath.
"Hey, Trainer. Marth and Ike are behind me. They'll be her shortly." The Trainer nodded.
"Good! We need to get out of here and find Lucario. He said he'd wait for us on the mountain." Lucas looked back and saw Marth and Ike sprinting towards them.
"There they are!" The Trainer looked up.
"Alright, let's go!" A few minutes later, the group were making their way through the ruins of an old temple, in the direction of the mountains beyond. Ike glanced behind them. He stopped, waiting for the others to do the same. When they all stopped, Ike guestured behind them.
"Look who's following us." The rest of the group looked past Ike at the little red onion-like creature. Lucas smiled.
"A Pikmin!" He looked around.
"Olimar must be nearby!" As if he was waiting for his name to be said, the little astronaut walked out from behind a rock, the light on his helmet bobbing up and down. He waved at the party.
"Greetings, friends. Mind if we tag along?" Marth chuckled.
"Not at all, friend! We'd love to have you along." Olimar grinned.
"Excellent!" The little astronaut let a sharp whistle escape his lips, and many multi-colored little Pikmin ran out from behind rocks to join them. Olimar smiled at the group.
"Well, off we go!" With that, the party set off toward the mountain once more.
Well, there's chapter 2! Echo's hilarious right? All of my characters are based off of friends of mine. Well, chapter 3 is commin up, so be ready.
