Star Fox: Rouge Squadron
ch. 4
General Rieekan took a sip of his coffee and sighed in relaxation. He heard some lasers being shot of a fighter and turned around to see what was going on. Before he could say anything he heard some buzzing sounds coming from his telephone.
"This is General Rieekan come in!" He said.
"Rieekan, do you know what's going on outside?" The voice said.
"It appears to be some battle going on, why?" Rieekan asked. "And who is this speaking?"
"Don't recognize me? It's me, Luke Skywalker." He said.
"You didn't answer my other question…" Rieekan told him.
Luke quickly changed the subject and asked "Could you send us a map? We don't know where we are…"
"It's on the way!" Rieekan exclaimed. "Could you tell me what it looks like?"
"Listen, we've got to go, we don't have our ships and it looks like we're in some other galaxy. Luke out!" Static occurred leaving just beeping sounds.
Wedge looked around and said "We're going to need some help, guys."
Hobbies replied "All the other team members of Rogue Squadron have not been seen since recently. Who else can we call?"
Wedge answered "Let's send a distress signal to somebody, anyone that can respond."
Luke said "But how can we send a signal without our ships?"
Wedge replied "Our communicators have signals that we can send."
"Why not send a message?" Hobbies asked. "You know like a-"
"It's the same thing…" Luke answered in a little angry tone.
They all fiddled around with their communicators until a beep was heard confirming that a signal was sent.
The Great Fox was silent, everything was turned off, nobody wanted to speak and nobody moved.
"I guess it's just you and me Krystal." I said.
"Yeah…I guess so." Krystal quietly replied.
"ROB! Is there any signals or anyone that's needs help?" I shouted a bit.
"Negative" ROB told me.
The silence resumed…until I started to hum the Super Mario Bros. theme. Krystal later started to hum with me. I was puzzled how she knew the theme, so I asked her.
"How do know that song?"
"I was reading your mind." She replied with a smile.
"How?" I was still puzzled.
"I'm a telepath. All Cerinians have this special ability; it allows us to read your mind." Krystal answered. "Do you have this ability?"
"Hmm…no." I replied and resumed "We should do something now. Right now we're sitting ducks."
Krystal paused for a moment and asked "How about we both head to Corneria for some lunch?"
I was surprised a bit and answered "Well…the way you're dressed…I might need to find you some clothes, as in people clothes."
"Is that something you are concerned about?" Krystal asked.
"Not to me but…the people of Corneria and General Pepper might think it is." I answered.
"ROB set course to Corneria!" I shouted.
"Affirmative."
Me and Krystal ran to the docking bay, where the Arwings were, but there was a problem, there was no Arwing at all.
"ROB, I changed my mind." I yelled so he could hear me.
"How are we going to get to Corneria now?" Krystal whined.
"Hmm...I got it!" I exclaimed and took out my communicator. I pushed a few buttons and within 2 minutes, a ship appeared out of nowhere.
"Is that an Arwing?" Krystal asked.
"No." I replied and resumed "I call this…the Super Mario! It's got twin lasers with multi-lock along with 7 bombs. This is unstopple!"
The staircase appeared and I went in first. Krystal went in after me and the staircase disappeared. I pushed a few buttons to fire up the engine and the craft started to hover. I sat down where the control sticks where and Krystal was sitting next to me. The craft hovered as I piloted the ship. We got out of the Great Fox and by now we were in space; nothing was in our way to stop us.
We could see Corneria as we were getting closer.
"This must be Corneria..." Krystal said.
"Indeed it is." I replied. "Now all I have to do is to land."
"Have we received our map yet?" Wedge asked.
"No." Luke answered. "We've got to look around for some place that can fix our ships."
Wedge wondered "Do you even think they will recognize us?"
Hobbies replied "I doubt it."
Luke, Wedge and Hobbies walked around the city to find a shop. After 10 minutes of searching, they all could not find even one shop.
"There must not have been any pilot here or anything..." Hobbies said.
"We can't give up; we've got to keep searching!" Wedge said.
And so, their search resumed...
_____________________________________________________________________
The ship was set to land as I carefully marked its landing. The ship slowly started float down to the ground, then the engines were turned off. I got out of my seat and told Krystal
"If you hear anyone talking about you, don't respond."
"Okay." Krystal replied.
The door opened, following by the staircases and me and Krystal got out of the ship.
The door closed and the staircases disappeared as we both got out.
"I wonder where we could find a clothing store..." Krystal wondered.
"I think I might know just the place!" I told her with a smile that probably sent her heart skipping.
We held our hands together as we walked around Corneria. Just then, I spotted a store that may be what I was looking for.
The door slid open by itself and we both walked inside.
'This must be fancy...' I thought.
Krystal asked me "Do you mind if I start searching?"
"No...Not at all." I replied as I released my hand from Krystal's, she walked away from me to the woman's clothing aisle.
'I hope she will be ok...' I thought.
I stood around trying to find a way to entertain myself without causing any public embarrassment. The only option I had was tapping my foot.
I could see someone was walking closer to me, so I stopped tapping. I rubbed my eyes and saw Krystal standing near me, she whispered in my ear
"I found some clothes to try on. Do you perhaps want to walk over to the dressing room?"
I replied nervously "Well...ok."
Me and Krystal walked over to the dressing rooms, and then she told me to wait here as she was going to try some new clothes on.
I went back to the foot tapping until she was done.
Krystal opened the door with a tuxedo on; she asked me "How do you like my new clothes?"
"Well...it's too formal." I answered; Krystal shut the door and went back to putting some more on. My feet taping came back.
After a moment, Krystal now had a blue suit on. She asked me "How about this one?"
I paused for a moment to examine her. Her suit seemed to go well with her fur color; I smiled and said "I like it."
Krystal happily asked "Really?"
"Yep." I replied.
Krystal shut the down again so she could put on back her clothing that she wore on the Great Fox, the door opened a crack, and some clothes she tried on were given to me to put back in the aisle. As soon as I placed the clothes back, Krystal came out in her bra and loincloth and we both walked over to the counter so we could pay. The clerk was a blue hedgehog, who was busy fixing something, so we both had to wait. After 3 minutes, the hedgehog said
"I can help with the next person in line."
Me and Krystal walked over to the counter and I placed her blue suit on the counter. That hedgehog seemed familiar looking.
I asked "Are you...Sonic?"
"Yes my name is Sonic." He replied.
"What color are your shoes?" I asked again.
"Red." He answered.
He was the Sonic I know!
He resumed "Watcha been up to recently?"
I replied "Nothing much..."
"Say...do you know something about 3 ships that crashed somewhere in Corneria?" Sonic asked.
"Uh...no." I answered and turned my head to Krystal and asked her "Do you?"
She replied "No. Why?"
Sonic answered "We don't know what they are, if they are one of Andross's drones or...something else."
He resumed "That'll be $75."
I took out my wallet and took out some money to give him.
"Have a nice day!" Sonic told us as we walked to the exit.
"You have fun with Eggman ok?" I said as the doors slid open.
We were both out in Corneria city again. Since we got Krystal her clothes, there was a problem...where could she get dressed at without doing it in public?
"How about in your ship?" Krystal asked me.
I was puzzled for a moment but then I remembered her telepath ability; I replied "Yeah...I guess so."
We walked over to my ship and the door opened along with the staircase. Krystal went inside and said to me "It won't be long."
She closed the door so she could have some privacy while I was standing near the ship.
After 3 minutes, Krystal opened the door in her new suit and jumped out. The door and staircase closed and my ship was still standing there.
Krystal walked to me and said "I'm feeling kinda hungry...what do you feel like?"
"How about some...pizza?" I asked.
"What's pizza?" She wondered.
"I'll tell you along the way..." I replied as me and Krystal held our hands together and walked around Corneria to find a pizza place.
"Luke, seriously we can't find anything!" Hobbies whined.
"He is right you know..." Wedge joined in.
Luke was depressed he could not have found anything that could repair ships, but he didn't want to give up.
Suddenly Luke sees a vixen and a human like him holding hands together while they were walking.
Luke smiled and said "We might have found ourselves a solution."
He ran quickly to catch up to the vixen and the human together.
Wedge and Hobbies yelled "Hey! Wait for us!"
They both ran after Luke so they could meet up with him...
