Have fun reading! Please R&R! Sorry for the delay! I tried to find time to keep writing but I was so busy.
Starfox: War of the PlanetsIt's Too Hot!
"Slippy! Slippy! Where are you?" shouted Krystal over the com link.
"Here I am!" exclaimed Slippy, popping out of nowhere. He and Krystal were in their ships scouting the area. "Boy this is hot!"
"Maybe it's because we are in Solar!" replied Krystal. The portal that they went into led them to Solar, the hottest planet in the Lylat System. Solar is so hot that any ship that comes near its heat, will burn to a crisp. Luckily, Slippy upgraded the ship's armor so it can withstand temperatures up to now 10,000 degrees. "Do you see anything peculiar?"
"Not yet," Slippy returned as he continued to explore Solar.
"Um…Warning…Warning!" Rob said through the com link. "Unidentified building ahead." Krystal and Slippy looked ahead and saw a building hovering above the molten lava surface.
"What is that?!" said Slippy.
"I have no idea," answered Krystal. "I think it's a base. Should we drop in?"
"I don't know," said Slippy, "Maybe we should wait until we regroup with Fox and Falco."
"Too late."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Krystal pointed out at the base. Emerging from the base, multiple squadrons of fighters began charging right at them. "We got lots of company."
"What are you waiting for?" Slippy said, "Let's go!"
"Okay Slippy!" Krystal replied, charging at their enemies with Slippy right behind her. Suddenly she stopped abruptly a hundred feet from the base. "Wait Slippy!"
"What?" questioned Slippy as he stopped.
"Look at where they are going!" shouted Krystal, pointing at the fighters. They both watched as the fighters flew right past them.
"What is going on?" Slippy wondered.
"I don't know," replied Krystal, curiously, "but let's drop in and figure out what is going on."
"Okay. But be prepared for the worst."
Swiftly, they flew their ships toward the floating building. The building had a very small platform, which they carefully landed. Slippy was the first to hop out of the aircraft, scanning the area.
"Hmm. I don't sense anyone," said Slippy, "Move in cautiously. Okay Krystal."
No response…
"Krystal?" Slippy shouted, nervously, searching around him worriedly.
"Slippy!" yelled someone.
Slippy turned around and saw Krystal at the front door preparing to knock.
"What are you doing Krystal?" Slippy croaked
"I'm going to knock on the door," replied Krystal, beginning to knock.
"No!!!" Slippy belched, waving his arms frantically, but it was too late.
Knock Knock Knock
The door immediately creaked open.
"That was easy!" smiled Krystal. As she entered the room, the door slowly closed. Slippy! She turned around and saw the door close shut. The room suddenly turned black so Krystal couldn't see anymore. She covered her mouth in horror. "Oh no!"
"Oh yes!"
Krystal yelped out in astonishment, as Slippy was standing right next to her. Furiously, she glared at Slippy and barked, "Don't do that!"
"Sorry Krystal," Slippy apologized. He quickly took out his flashlight and walked further into the building with Krystal behind him, armed with a pistol. After several minutes, all they saw were a couple of doors, which were locked. Then they came up to two identical doors, right next to each other, unlocked. "So…which door Krystal?"
"Let's try to the right one."
"Okay," Slippy responded without hesitating. He opened the right door, which led into more darkness. "Come on Krystal!"
Krystal was about to enter with Slippy when the door quickly closed shut. "Slippy! The door is locked!"
Slippy tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. Sweating crazily, he shouted to her, "Try the other door!"
"It is still unlocked!" she answered, testing the doorknob on the left door, "I'll meet you at the end. Be careful!" She entered the room and the door behind her suddenly shut tight. Okay Krystal. Get a grip. Use your telepathy to get out of this room. Dang I should have brought an extra flashilight…Oh well. She began walking cautiously further into the room when she heard footsteps behind her. Turning around, all she saw was darkness. "Uh Okay! Creepy-following-footsteps. My kind of base."
As she walked more, she heard more footsteps and every time she turned around, no one was there. "Okay that's it." She took out her blaster and began charging it up. The charge created a luminous glow that allowed her to see a little bit. She scanned the room but saw nothing. "Uh This is fun," chuckled Krystal nervously. After five minutes of nonstop walking and scanning, she saw a small light at the end of the room. Finally! I can get out of here.
She was almost at the exit when something pounced on her. Wincing, she looked up and saw a type of feline on top of her. It was wearing a strange glowing red armor and had a bloody dagger in its mouth. Its eyes were glowing red and its teeth were razor sharp. "Oh dang!" Reacting quickly, she knocked the cat off of her and stood up into a defensive position. Thank goodness I am a black belt. As the cat charged at her, she ducked and kicked its back as it flew across the room. It created a loud "thump" and was knocked unconscious.
"Whew!" She turned around and got pounced by four more cats. "Great!" scoffed Krystal as one of the cats took out a dart and stabbed it in her neck. In pain, she began feeling a little weary. Moaning she closed her eyes and blacked out…
I'm again sorry for the delay. I'll write the next chapter sooner then this one. Hope you enjoyed it.
