Chapter2: Fox's story
Note: revised, I also wanted to say to anyone confused with fox's story. It really begins when the quotations disappear. And your suppose to envision the event, not him speaking it. That's why I made them speak in real-time rather than as if he was telling a story even though it seems that way. It was the only way I knew how to type it. Enjoy.
It has been about 2 days since the Kakariko incident and Fox has been struggling to get back on his feet. Despite knowing how devastating his injuries are, he has been practicing his fighting skills in a small cave in Kakariko.
However, his injuries cause him to quickly collapse.
"Damn it all" screams Fox at his failure.
"You know your not helping those bones at all this way." Impan Stated.
"This is nothing, there were tougher challenges at the Corneria Academy" muttered fox as he tries to get on his feet.
"Well since it seems you've been to school you should know that you're doing your body no good!" said Impan.
"Hm what do you know?" ignored Fox.
"Well I know that the soup is ready" Said Impan with a smile across her face. Fox turns and sees the smile and reluctantly returns to the hut.
After eating the special herb soup, Fox immediately begins to head out to the cave but gets interrupted by Impan.
"Now what?" questions an annoyed Fox.
"It's not healthy to exercise immediately after eating" says Impan.
"So what do you expect me to do in the meantime?" shouts a very irritated Fox.
"Well maybe you can spend a little time with a lonely woman." Says Impan in a sweet voice. Fox only looks at the woman with disdain but nonetheless he takes a seat.
It remains quiet for a long time in the small hut as Fox fidgets with his soup spoon until the silence is broken by Impan.
"I've been meaning to ask you, what exactly happened to cause such a ship of that size to crash. Fox immediately stops his movement and glares at the woman. Impan not intimidated stares back into his large pupils. This staring contest goes on for a while until Fox decides to give up and tells Impan the story of the crash.
"It was an average expedition through space. My crew and I had just finished a mission in Corneria." Fox said holding his head.
"So you travel through space now do you?" Impan said.
"This is no joke, I'm from planet Corneria." Fox said lifting his head defiantly.
We were enjoying the peace until there was an unexpected quasar in our path. Normally changing direction would bypass the it, but this time the quasar had started pulling us in. I tried to boost power in the ship's engine to push us out of magnetic range. But before I was even able to react, everything had just stopped.
Confused, we sent my comrade Slippy Toad to check if there was any damage. In only a few minutes were heard him scream.
"Wh-whoo are you?" we heard. We heard rumbling and shaking and then Slippy fell down in the cockpit. Then there was this sinister voice that said
"Fox McCloud, leader of Star Fox." It said. "Show yourself."
I didn't want to put my crew in danger so I put on my space gear and went a top the ship to find a very odd looking creature with 5 other odd creatures.
The one that called me out was a tall silver creature with a long, slender neck, long purple tail, 3 pronged hands and an arrow shaped head with tiny ears.
It said "so this is the mighty Fox McCloud. Hmm oh well I've learned not to underestimate the abilities of lesser beings."
Insulted I screamed "who are you and what do you want?" But the creature only smirked and sent his team of monsters after me.
These creatures were the strangest I had ever seen. They here brightly colored with designs on each one.
The first one was red and tall with a physique of a man in his 20's. Another one was blue and had curves like a woman. There was also a smaller but fierce looking yellow one with horns. The oddest one was the green one. It was very small and pudgy. It looked like a carved head missing a body. Lastly there was the big black one. It was huge and shapeless, as if it was made from sludge.
The yellow one ran straight into me with blinding speed and knocked me back a few meters. Then the silver creature had told the red one to "finish him." The red one walked over to me while the yellow one held me down. The red one started to say "Hehehe it well be my pleas-." But was cut off by my second in command Falco Lombardi's boot.
He also got the yellow one off of me. "So you think you can win 2 to 5?" said the white creature. Falco smirked and said "I will take my chances." So now all 5 of them started to attack us.
Yellow had started running around us and eventually created an illusion allowing the big gooey black one to try and crush us. We evaded the attack but the red guy was behind the yellow ones illusion and started to attack us with his melee. While the black one was trying to strike us with his goo.
Now being challenged 2-2, I attacked the red while Falco fought the black. I thought it would be easy to defeat him but man was he fast! He was able to avoid every punch I threw. He then grabbed my arm and head butted me, and then threw me into Falco who was discovering brute force didn't hurt the black one.
Now flat on our backs, we thought we were goners until both of them stopped attacking.
"Let them go…" Said the silver creature. First I was surprised at his sudden change of heart until he finished his sentence.
"On a one way ticket to hell!" His eyes turned blue and the ship began to rock again.
Then I heard another one of my comrades, Krystal say "Fox we've lost all control of the ship."
He then told the black one to cover the engine.
"Goodbye Fox McCloud, AHAHAHAHA!" laughed the sinister creature as he left with all is soldiers except the black one covering the engine.
We stood only to see our doomed ship get pulled into this planet's atmosphere.
Left with no other choices I said "Team get into the arwings."
"Falco said "but Fox there are only aren't enough for you to escape."
I told him "does it look like there is any chance of survival just standing in this ship?
"I won't tell you again get in your damn arwings!" Falco was about to question my choice again but decided to just follow the instructions. However he did say one last thing before he left.
"Capitan, you're a better man than I." Soon they had taken off and I was sure it would be my final hour. The last thing I remembered was a bright light and the next thing I knew I was here.
Fox continued to hold his head in depression as he finished his story.
"Well I'm no captain but I will say this." Said Impan trying to cheer him up. "I think you made the right choice."
Fox looked up and smiled. "So isn't it time for you to begin training again?" said Impan in a chuckling tone. Fox then without a moment to spare, Fox had left the hut to begin training again and preparing for the day he would avenge his crew.
