Chapter: 10 : Attack
There was one thing he hated more then anything, something that drives most males insane. Shopping, the one thing he couldn't Bare even back on earth, and by the expression on Fox's face neither did he. The two Males sat on the only bench in the entire section of the clothing store they were in, blankly staring at the two females in front of them. Miyu wearing a dark purple skirt and a flowing white top with a purse draped over her shoulder, humming happily as she picked out clothes for a certain human.
To her left, Krystal choosing to show a little less leg chose to wear fitting blue Jean's with a standard blue top to match. The two happily chatting idly as they shopped. "psst Fox" I whispered nudging the dazed vulpine snapping him out of his stupor.
"hmm?" Fox responds with a few blinks to get his bearings. "what is it?" he whispered edging closer.
"let's make a break for it" I whispered as low as possible, watching the two women out of the corner of my eye. "the door is right there, we could easily sneak out of here" I whisper.
Looking over his shoulder then back to me and nods. Slowly we both slid off the bench and into a crouch. Holding our breath we edged closer to our freedom. "almost there" I whispered. Our shuffling ever slightly increasing with every step. As soon as Fox's paw touched the door, a throat being cleared catches our attention.
"trying to escape?" a very annoyed Female voice echoed from behind us. Stopping dead in our tracks we looked over our shoulders, to find two very annoyed women. "you know these clothes are for you" Miyu said while glaring angrily. "but hey if you want to look like a hobo with the one outfit, fine by me" she seethed, her tail slightly puffed out and flicking behind her.
"mhm, and Fox you promised to branch out from your green fetish and try new colors." Krystal said annoyed, her foot tapping the ground as she glared. From anyone else point of view. It would look like two parents scolding their children for misbehaving. Earning a few chuckles from passersby.
Sighing we both slowly stood up. "but we have been here for hours! And I feel like a damn dress up doll, from all the clothes" I pouted, waving my arm in the direction of the pile of clothes inside the basket.
"yea, what he said" Fox said nodding in agreement, with his arms folded across his chest. Sighing both women looked at their respective baskets and nodded.
"fine, that's enough shopping for today then" Miyu said before falling Krystal to go pay for their items. After the cloths were bagged up and handed over to the two males to carry they headed out of the small shop, and into the busy hallway of the Cornerian mall.
"so, who wants to get some food. Then head to our last stop for the day?" Fox asked.
"last stop? I thought that was our last stop" I asked confused.
The three stopped and looked at me with huge grins on their faces. "well it's a surprise. So you cant know the exact details just yet" me said happily. "right?" she asked while looking at the other two in the group, who only nodded in response.
"oh, this is bull why cant you all just tell me?" I begged.
"if we told you, it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" Fox asked, peaking over his shoulder as he walked ahead of the group.
Sighing in defeat I nodded, and slung the few bags I was carrying over my shoulder. "well, were are we going to eat?" I asked, in exact timing with a low rumbling from my stomach.
"there is this great bar, just around the corner we can go there" Miyu said excitedly, her tail swaying erraticly. "decent prices booze and great food!" she said bounding with excitement.
"well I guess the decision has been made" Fox laughed.
"mhm it seems like it has" Krystal giggled.
"what the hell, I have not been to a bar in a while so why not." I say shrugging nonchalantly, That was soon followed by another low sounding rumble.
"man you must be starved" Miyu giggled as she playfully nudged my ribs.
"that wasn't me" I said, while another rumble echoed through the mall, causing it to shake slightly. Knocking some plants and other things to the floor in process. All of a sudden all hell broke loose, three shops filled with people exploded killing all those Inside, followed by blaster fire. "SHIT!, GET SOME COVER!" I screamed while driving behind a concrete wall with Fox.
Finally the blaster fire quit and went quiet, then came footsteps and finally laughter. "HAHAHA, THAT'S WHAT YOU FILTHY CORNERIANS GET! WE ARE JUST A SMALL TATSE OF WHATS COMING FOR YOU! WE ARE THE GREAT EMPEROR ANDROSS's REFORMED ARMY!, HAHAHAHA" a gigantic Gorilla Bellowed, using a Gatling blaster, her peppers the entire corridor with laser fire, until it glowed red and slowed down.
Slowly they small group of apes advanced, with the Gorilla in front. As they creeped over the rubble and bodies for the few civilians unlucky enough not to escape, they idly chatted as if they were taking a stroll in the park. Peaking over the wall, counting a group of eight terrorists I look over to fox. Nodding to me and signaling the girls who were each behind a pillar, they drew their respective Blasters while I drew my 10mm Sig.
"on three" Fox whispers, while signaling the girls. "one,two,thr.." blaster fire echoed from Miyus position, as she prematurely opened fire injuring one of the Apes and forcing them into cover besides their leader. "three…" fox deadpanned. Popping up from his cover Fox noticed the blaster bolts bounce off the Gorillas armor surprised. He quickly ducked back into cover as a hail of blaster bolts flew overhead. "Damnit Miyu ! I said on three!" He yelled angrily.
"sorry!, I mistook your signal!" she yelled while blind firing back into the reorganized group of terrorists. "what are we going to do about Big tall and ugly , over there!" she yelled while taking a few pop shots at the Gorilla, only for the bolts to harmlessly bounce off.
"SO! THE INFAMOUS STAR FOX HAS COME TO STOP US EH!?, WELL YOUR PATHETIC BLASTERS WONT EVEN BE ABLE TO TOUCH ME!" the Gorilla Laughed out. "SURRENDER NOW! AND I THE GREAT KONG WILL SHOW YOU MERCY!" he bellowed.
"PFFT!" I started to giggle softly until it became full on laughter. "K..Kong!?, hahahah! Oh my god!, are you serious?!" I continued to laugh hysterically, as the shocked expressions of the other go unnoticed.
"what is wrong with you!" Fox yelled as she stared wide eyed at me. "are you trying to piss him off?" He yelled loudly. His blaster flung over the top of the wall, firing blindly into the group.
"WHATS SO FUNNY! YOU LITTLE WORM! I THE GREAT KONG OFFER MERCY AND YOU LAUGH IN RETURN!, YOU WILL PAY DERARLY FOR THIS!" he raged as he slowly advanced forward, the bolts harmlessly bouncing off his armor. My laughter getting even louder as he spoke.
"I..I'm sorry!" I giggled "w..where I'm from we have multiple gorillas and chimps, named Kong. the image of the smallest one popped into my head with his face on its body." My giggling slowly coming to and end. Shocked Fox flung his arms in the air angrily.
"so you decide to laugh at him! Are blasters don't do shit and I don't feel like fighting a gorilla bare handed!" Fox yelled.
"neither do we!" the girls yelled from their cover, as enemy bolts flew past them.
"Hey big boy!, sorry for laughing at ya but I think it's time we end this!" I yell, positioning my self against the wall.
"OH? AND HOW DO YOU PLAN TO STOP ME! YOUR BLASTERS ARE USELESS AGAINST ME!" Kong bellowed in triumph, his blaster fire slowly coming to a end as he gloated.
"like this, you big oaf" quickly rising to my knees I popped up behind the wall and squeezed the trigger of my ten millimeter three times. Three loud bangs rang out. Ending the Gorillas laughter as the three hollow point rounds slammed into, his chest plate punching through it like wet paper. The rounds ripping through his chest and out of his back. Time seemed to slow down as the big behemoth fell to his knees clutching his chest as his blaster skidded across the floor.
Silence.. followed as Kong took his last breath and finally collapsed onto the tile floor, blood pooling around his body. Taking the brief moment of silence and surprise, I snapped my focus to another target, and firing two rounds into a chimps chest, and watched him crumple to the ground. Before having to duck to avoid blaster fire from the other remaining six terrorists.
"Nice shot!" Krystal shouted as she dropped another ape before advancing to another concrete pillar for cover.
"five left, the police should be here any minute!" Fox Shouted. Now standing his continued to fire at the remaining Terrorists, bunkered in a store, they fled into. Slowly we pushed forward, getting as close as we could to the group. The remaining security guards finally able to assist once the civilians were evacuated. Slowly the remaining group dwindled down from five to two.
Realizing it was futile to continue, they tossed their blasters from the busted out window and surrendered. They were quickly tackled to the ground and put in cuffs, by the remaining security. "thank you, Star Fox this could have ended a lot worse, if it weren't for you and your team" A security guard said, while shaking Fox's hand.
"its no problem at all, it's what we do, ain't that right guys?" He said, while proudly looking over his shoulder. After a few minutes the police arrived and took the two terrorists into custody, and began to block off the area for investigation and clean up.
"FREEZE!" a large German shepherd yelled. Covered head to toe in riot gear he aimed his blaster in my direction.
"huh? Seriously?" I said shocked as I slowly stood from the pile of rubble I was currently resting on with Miyu and Krystal, both of them surprised with his actions.
"I Said Freeze!" he yelled again, this time throwing the safety off his weapon.
"calm down rover" I said slowly raising my hands. "I'm with Star Fox" I said motioning to the girls standing behind me. Hearing the commotion Fox came trotting over, standing between me and the officer.
"stand down officer, he's with me" Fox commanded, his hands resting in his weapon. Slowly the German shepherd lowered his blaster, still gauging the situation. "now" Fox growled. Nodding he holsters his weapon and steps back.
"sorry, I jumped to conclusions" he apologized and walked away.
"well come on, they got my statement and we are free to go, we have one last stop and we will head the fuck home" Fox sighed and headed for the exit.
"so, we get into a firefight and still go shopping huh?" I asked sarcastically. Earning a chuckle and a punch in the arm in return.
"yes smart ass, we do" Fox chuckled as we piled into the vehicle, and after a few minutes pull away from the parking lot and onto the roadway. After a few minutes of driving we pulled into the parking lot for a small, custom tailoring store.
"what's this place?" I asked curiously. Slowly we step from the vehicle and inside.
"it's clothing store duh" Miyu giggled as she practically skipped inside, leaving me standing at the door. "you coming?" she asked and motioned me to follow. The small shop and clothes of all different shapes and styles and colors. Further inside at the far end of the hall a counter with a very old looking hare sat talking to fox.
Walking up to the pair, I could hear them happily chatting. Only to stop when approached. "Clint I like you to meet Esmerelda" he said while stepping to the side.
"please call me E, I hate it when people call me by my full name" she all but whispered, her voice soft and had a aged tone to it.
"it's a pleasure to meet you E" I smiled and shook her shaky hand.
Nodding she looked over to fox and quirked an eyebrow. "so this is the new one hmm?" she asked slowly standing from her stool, and into a back room. "well I have your order ready, have him try them on." She yelled softly from the back as she shuffled back into the main part of the store, with boxes in hand. "changing room is over there" she pointed out, handing me a box.
Nodding I took the box and wandered into one of the rooms and closed the door, inside the box laid a neatly folded black flight suit. "wow, it's amazing" I whispered, Slowly taking it out of the box and letting it unfold completely. The main body of the suit was black, while the zipper and inside was red, with a red stripe going down both sides, stopping at bottom of each leg.
Stripping out of my clothes and down to just my shirt and boxers, I slipped on the suit. Once on I stood in front of the mirror and whistled. Turning slowly I noticed a patch on each shoulder. On the right, neatly centered in the middle of the sleeve was a red Star Fox emblem. Turning to the left was a perfect replica of my old emblem popped from the black background.
A perfect centered Golden winged helmet laid, The wings perfectly sat on each side of the helm, while clearly a female head was encased inside, with hair flowing behind her. Just under the helm in gold trim Valkyries was spelled. Wiping a tears from my eyes I took a deep breath and stepped out of the changing room. "well? How do I look?"
"pretty damn good, I picked the colors my self" Fox said proudly with a smirk on his face.
" I agree with Fox, it looks rather well on you" Krystal said with a smile.
"pretty hot, if you ask me" Miyu whistled playfully.
"hmm, yes it does look good on you my boy" E said softly as she shuffled around me inspecting the suit with a trained eye. "now then onto the jacket" opening the box she took out a black jacket with red accents with He same patches, with one extra big Star Fox emblem on the back. "something to wear with your regular clothes" She said handing me the jacket and pushing me back inside the changing room.
Quickly changing back into my clothes I threw the jacket on and stepped out. "you didn't have to do this Fox" I said quietly, looking down at the grinning vulpine in question.
"sure I did, you needed a proper flight suit and the jacket well, now people know your one of us" he smiled and slapped me on the shoulder. "now how about we go get something to eat and head home hmm?" wrapping his arm around my slouched shoulders giving a soft squeeze we headed for the door. "thanks again E!, just send me the bill!" he said as the door for the shop closed with a click.
The drive was silent, as we made our way slowly through traffic. No one saying a word in what happened only listing to the radio and the news spewing out of it. "today at Cornerian Mall, a group of terrorists attacked destroying thousands of credits worth of property. Thankfully the mercenary team Star Fox was there to end the assault. So far there have been ten confirmed civilian deaths." At that Fox turned off the radio and continued to drive in silence.
The only noise to fill the cab was the sound of Fox's phone ringing through the speakers. The face of General Pepper appears over the contact information. "Hello General, I take you heard of what happened?" Fox ask as he continued to drive, the rest of us sat in silence and listened.
"indeed I have, I would like to personally thank you for saving those people Fox. You have my deepest gratitude." Pepper said.
"its what we do general" was Fox's only reply and then again silence ruled the cab, Until pepper spoke.
"Once the investigation is done, I want you and your team here for a briefing on the situation, understood?" Pepper stated.
"yes sir" Fox said
"good, and again thank you fox" was the last thing pepper said until the line went dead. And the car went silent once more.
