Chapter 3

Faster than he ever ran, he ran. Coyote locked in his backpack while running and yelled to Falco to do the same. He knew that this was not going to end well. Justin was going to be pissed when he was attacked by his newly made friend. After about a minute of sprinting, Coyote heard the klink of metal and…. plasma? He instantly activated his suit and it covered him, helmet and all. As soon as Falco did the same, he activated his plasma sword from his wrist device and jumped at the shadow that looked taller. To his luck, it was Justin, he realized as he grabbed him mid jump. They crashed into the sand and rolled. Justin was punching Coyote's suit until Coyote finally let go. He lifted his katana to finish him, but Coyote rolled and rose to his feet. He deactivated his helmet and yelled at Justin.

"Are you out of your f-ing mind?!" he cursed. "I would kill you if you weren't my friend!"

Justin, still outraged, put his katana down.

"I thought I told you I hate Cerinians!"

"Well, you're talking to one right now!" Coyote's remark hit Justin like a bomb. He had no idea that Coyote was Cerinian. But then it seemed so obvious. Cerinians born without telepathy are instead born with unmatched skill at…everything. They are some of the most intelligent beings in the Lylat System, which means that the Cerinian he was fighting was the same way.

"I will never forgive your worthless kind, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Justin said. They were about to shake hands until Falco's body was sent flying to their feet.

"Owww, that girl just kicked…my….ass!" he said. Coyote and Falco looked up to see just who he was talking about. She was in a suit like Coyote's with the same wrist device. She was in a fighting stance until she seemed to look over to Coyote. She loosened up and spoke in a higher pitched robotic tone.

"What is your name?" She asked Coyote, pointing her plasma sword at his neck. Coyote, hating this, ignited his and pointed it at her neck.

"You first," he retorted with an angry glare. She seemed to smile as she deactivated her sword.

"If you say so, name's Ashley," she replied. "I have been searching for you Coyote, Kursed sends her regards."

"Wha- why would Kursed of all people work with you?" he replied back, shocked.

"We are both Cerinian, using my skill and her telepathy, we could accomplish anything,"

"So I am not the only one born without telepathy?"

"No, I am too."

"What the hell." This was a lot for Coyote to suck in. His world pretty much changed all in one moment.

"Anyway, Kursed wants to speak to you," Ashley brought him back to reality.

"What? Why?"

"She wants to 'make up' for her actions by talking to you."

Justin had heard enough.

"How can we trust you?" he challenged. She replied by deactivating her suit. Coyote gulped at her attractive figure. Holy s**t. He thought.

"Coyote can we talk, in private," Justin beckoned. Coyote nodded and they took a few steps back and turned around.

"I'm not so sure about this," Justin said.

"I don't know, she's kind of….. let's say… my type," Coyote replied with a small smile.

"Shut up, now's not the time for that bulls**t," Justin said back.

"Alright, alright, the truth is, I trust her,"

"Sounds a bit too good to be true. Kursed just wanting to 'talk',"

Justin's three tails waved with impatience. Coyote turned back around.

"Alright, you're coming with us," Coyote told Ashley, shakily.

Back on the Great Fox III, Coyote led Ashley to the comm. room. He told her to put in the code to get to Kursed's link. She punched in the code. The screen flashed, showing him that the signal had reached her. Each flash was an eternity to Coyote. He had so many questions for her. Then, the screen stopped flashing and the face of Kursed popped up on the screen.

"Hey," Coyote said.

"Hi, it's been a long time,"
