Getting To Damn Personal
His head was swimming, just like Krystal and him earlier. A lot of things had changed since then. A near death experience had been a requirement with Star Fox, but none of them had hit him in such a way. A dazzling light show started when he opened his eyes. Had this been a dream? Surely Krystal would come wake him up. When he could focus, Fox knew that it wasn't a dream. Krystal had been taken from him, just as they started a new adventure with each other. "Panther..." He spat out weakly. Whatever they had given him for the pain worked wonders. He tried to sit up a few times, only to collapse back into the bed. He wished it's comfort would sooth him, but the rage in his heart was overpowering any sane thought of waiting to recover.
"Let me in! I have to talk with him, it's urgent!"
Fox looked over at the clouded glass. It was clear that he was in his own private room in the hospital. The doctors must have been keeping nosey people out. But that voice he heard was familiar. One he hadn't heard in quite some time.
"I'm sorry miss, but Mr. McCloud is not to be disturbed."
Fox growled. How dare that doctor tell everyone who could and couldn't see him. He looked around for a button to hail the nurse, he wanted to know who needed to speak with him. As he continued to search for the button, his door opened violently. A younger female lynx came rushing inside. "Fox!" Fox smiled half-heartedly at the lynx, almost recognizing her immediately.
"Miyu." Fox's voice was hoarse and he knew he defiantly felt better, but it was nice to finally see a friend. "Hey, what's up?" Fox noticed the doctors finally come in after Miyu, they moved to grab her and pull her out of the room. "Get out. If she has something to tell me then she can say it." The three doctors that tried to grab Miyu backed out of the room and closed the door. "Now, what brings you here?"
"Fox, it's horrible!" Miyu cried. She moved a chair up to his bedside and sat down, attempting to be calm. "I got a message for the guy that did this to you. I don't know how he contacted me, but he did."
"Panther..." Fox growled again, this time fighting through the pain and numbness he felt to sit up. "What did that son of a bitch have to say to you?"
Miyu gasped. She knew that Fox would be edgy, but she never knew he'd be this mad at someone. "W-well, he told me that..." Miyu turned away from Fox. "Krystal isn't the only one he's capture."
"What?" Fox yelled, feeling his wound jolt with pain. He fought through it, he had to stay strong.
"He's got everyone Fox. Krystal, Falco, Slippy, even Peppy!" Miyu could almost taste Fox's rage. She watched as he began pulling out the iv cord, and everything else that kept locked to the bed. "Fox? No, wait you'll aggravate the wound!"
"I will not lie here while my girl and my team are in the hands of that pathetic excuse of a jungle cat!" Fox jumped off the bed, holding his side as he walked towards a locker that had to contain his clothes. He threw on what he had, looking down at where he got shot. He gasped as he saw no wound, but a patch of fur missing, and a few stitches. 'Wow, how'd I heal so quick? It must have been my visit with dad.' Once he was ready he looked back over at Miyu.
"What do you expect to do alone? Clearly Panther is working with a gang. You're too banged up to do anything!" Miyu just shook her head as Fox continued walked towards the door. He placed his hand on the cloudy glass.
"What I expect to do alone?" Fox chuckled. "Tear that guy, his gang, and his whole fucking operation apart." Fox turned the handle and began to open the door. "I'm too banged up to drive, can you take me to my dad's house Miyu?"
"You're serious about this huh?" Miyu watched Fox nod. "I shouldn't be helping you release yourself from here. But I do hate hospitals." Fox smiled and opened the door completely, much to the surprise of the doctors standing just outside his room.
"? What are you doing out of bed?"
"You are not clear to leave your room McCloud!"
"I knew we shouldn't have let that lynx in there!"
"Shut up, all of you." Fox barked. The three doctors backed up slowly. "I can't stay here. I've got people to save." Miyu came up behind him, allowing him to use her for support. "Just try and stop me."
"!"
Fox pushed past the doctors, hearing them whisper behind him. They said what he knew everyone would say. That he was out of his mind, that he didn't have a chance. What did they know anyway. Fox had a new mission, and he knew what he had to do. 'Don't worry Krys... I'm coming to save you.'
"My car's over here." Miyu pulled Fox along to her car, helping him in. She quickly got into the driver's seat, roaring toward Fox's house. "Why do we need to get back to your dad's place so bad?"
"You won't believe this." Fox laughed. "But when I was unconscious, I was surrounded in a bright white light."
"The supposed white light at the end of the tunnel. Yeah, I believe that." Miyu giggled. She heard Fox chuckle a bit before listening to him continue.
"Well, when I was in there, I started walking. I kept walking until I knew who had shot me." Fox punched the glove compartment, creating a bit of a dent. "When I figured out that bastard Panther did this to Krystal and me, I knew I had to get vengeance. Then I heard a voice, it belonged to my father!" Fox grinned, looking at Miyu skeptical gaze. "I told you wouldn't believe it, but I know what I heard and saw. My dad told me that it wasn't my time, and that I would find a solution to my problem in his home."
"Really?" Miyu still sounded skeptical. "And did he tell you were to find this so called solution?"
"It's in the garage, there's a shelf I have to move, and behind it is some stairs..." Fox sighed. "That's all I got, I came too before I could really understand what he was telling me." Fox relaxed slightly, he knew that his dad wouldn't let him down. All he could do now was wait to get back to his place.
"Wake up Fox!" Fox opened his eyes slowly, expecting to see out of the windshield of Miyu's car. "There we go, you're such a sleepyhead." Fox looked down, surprised to see himself in a bed.
"Wha?" He looked up, trying to focus on his surroundings. He quickly noticed that there wasn't a lynx beside him, but a vixen. His vixen. "Krys?"
"Afternoon love." Krystal giggled, kissing Fox's forehead. "You've slept away the day!"
"But Panther... he took you. He shot me, what's going on?" Fox asked sitting up and facing Krystal.
Krystal looked at Fox questionably. "Panther? He shot you?" She place a hand on his head. "Are you feeling ok? Panther hasn't bothered us in months!"
"But I thought..." Fox whispered, he felt Krystal push him back down, sitting on his waist.
"Shh." She nuzzled his muzzle with her own. "Don't worry Fox. Everything will be fine, you'll save us all." Fox was about to question her when he felt her lips on his. He sighed contently, hearing Krystal's thoughts. 'Please, wake up.'
"Fox, wake up!" Miyu yelled, shaking the vulpine a few times. "Please, wake up!" Fox slowly opened his eyes, hearing Miyu sigh in relief. "Thank goodness. I thought you had slipped back into acoma." Fox looked around, still feeling Krystal's presence within his mind.
"Krystal..." He whispered, gritting his teeth. "I swear to you, we'll be together again." Fox quickly got out of the car. Happy that Miyu still knew where his dad used to live.
"Wow. This place really has seen better days." Miyu said as she took in James McCloud's old home. She noticed that Fox was already halfway up the walkway. "Hey Fox! Wait up!" She ran up beside him, allowing him to use her for support once more.
"This place was once as beautiful as my place. There's a lot of great memories here." Fox looked over at the garage door before entering his father's home. "To think that no one has raided this place."
"James had a lot of respect from everyone on Corneria." Miyu stated as Fox led her towards the side entrance of the garage. Fox opened the door and began walking without support. His side still hurt like hell, but getting Krystal and his team back was worth the pain.
"Dad said there was a shelf here that I had to move." Fox looked around for a few seconds in the dark before finding the switch. He groaned at the amount of shelf that were placed on the wall. "This could take a bit."
"Not really." Miyu pointed at one shelf that seemed to take up enough space to be hiding a secret passageway. "Here I'll help you move it." With a little bit of effort, and cleaning out some more space to move, Fox and Miyu managed to get the shelf moved to reveal a passage to James' secret room.
"It's, just like he said!" Fox shouted, he moved as quickly as he could down the steps. Knowing that he would soon find what his dad meant by having a solution to his Panther problem. "I had no idea dad had this room here. Maybe he would have told me later on."
"I'm sure he had his reasons." Miyu nearly ran into Fox as he stopped. "Hey what's the hold up?"
Fox's jaw seemed to dislodge. He had never seen so many hand held weapons in his life. There was enough here for a small army. "I don't believe it." Fox walked to one of the many glass cases. The weapons he saw were similar to the one Panther had shot him with. That's when he noticed that they weren't blasters at all, but old world guns. "These are in amazing condition!"
"James had a lot of historical artifacts. Are you sure he'd want you to use these?" Miyu gasped as the lights began to turn on, and more rows of weapons came into view.
"If I know my father. Then this is exactly what he would want me to do." Fox grinned and opened a case, taking one gun out, it was a SCAR-H with a digital camo finish to it . It felt strangely good in his hands. "You'd better be ready Panther. Cause I'm coming for you."
