It was a little into the next day, when they got the emergency message. It was General Pepper.
"Star Fox! We come with dire need. We are under attack! It may sound strange, but a flying human is destroying our ships and killing the people within them." Pepper said.
"Its gotta be that freak from last time." Rainbow thought.
"If we don't receive your help, we will not live to tomorrow. Please, hurry Star Fox." Pepper said before it cut out.
And so the team moved out towards Corneria to see the mass of floating destroyed ships and dead crew members. Rainbow was disgusted by it as they got closer to the planet where she then spotted Flying destroying Cornerian Army ships as well as civilian buildings.
"Bastard isn't even sticking to the army. He's murdering civilians too." Falco said.
"This is what these guys will do. The Elements will just murder anyone to achieve their goals." Rainbow said growling. "To think...they were actually made by Flux. He made some real works this time. I'm going out! I'm not letting this continue!" Rainbow said landing her Arwing.
"You're getting out of your Arwing and fighting him on the ground?!" Falco said.
"Kid, think about this! You're just a teenager going against a human war machine!" Peppy said.
Rainbow got out of the cockpit and landed herself on the ground. "Just yesterday… i got a letter from my friends at CHS. One of the ones in the letter was Tennis Match. She was doing her best to lead the sports teams while I was gone, and she doubted herself. She then lost it for some reason, and then out of nowhere, this kid named Marcus and his friends saved her. I have no idea who this kid is, but he sounds okay. But...for my friend to doubt herself because of me gone...I can't live with that. I also can't live with monsters like Flying killing people. I have to do this." Rainbow said as she marched down on the ground. "Flying!"
Flying stopped his next attack before looking down. "Well, you took your time getting here. I was starting to think I was wasting my time here." Flying said.
"Yeah, I'm here. And I am taking you on! Just you and me!" Rainbow shouted in anger.
"Very well. Let's get on with it then! Air Cutter!" Flying said kicking a cutter at Rainbow who then sliced it apart with her Rainbow Blade.
"So you can fight out of that machine." Flying said smiling. "Good. I was beginning to think you wouldn't give me a challenge."
"Oh, this will be a challenge." Rainbow said wielding her blade.
"Air Slash!" Flying said sending a cutting wave with a slash of his arm as Rainbow blocked.
"Rainbow Speeder!" she shouted dashing into the air and cutting into Flying's arm, watching at it regenerated.
"Pathetic. No matter how many times you attack me, I'll always regenerate!" Flying said as his mouth morphed into a beak and his arms into wings and his legs into bird like talons. "But if you wanna fight...I'll be happy to give you the last one you'll ever fight!"
"Your body…" Rainbow said.
"For my creation...I was given the most powerful traits of the most deadliest birds of prey in the universes!" Flying said dashing at her. Rainbow used her Geode to hide behind a building before seeing Flying there. "Too slow." he said slashing her chest.
Rainbow kneeled down and tried to recover.
"Pathetic, just like I said. You're one of the extras that was so up there? Youre nothing. Nothing but dead weight. To think I was expecting so much out of you." Flying said before lifting a talon. "Allow me to put you out of your misery!" he shouted before his leg was sent flying. "Huh?"
Rainbow was holding her blade up as she got up.
(Cue-You Say Run-My Hero Academia Soundtrack)
"You think...humans are just weak when compared to the Enhanced right? Well, you guys are dead wrong." Rainbow said. "Truth is...some of us are equal or more powerful than them."
"How dare you…." Flying said as his leg regenerated. "I'll skin that smug smile right off your pretty little face!"
Flying tried to swipe with his talon again, but his kick missed as Rainbow ducked.
"I'm not gonna fall for that same trick twice!" she shouted stabbing into Flying's side.
"Gaaah!" he screamed. "You little bitch!"
"I'm not gonna be the one who ends up hospitalized every single time. I'm the one who's gonna clip your wings." Rainbow said.
"Let's see if you can say that after i blast through you!" Flying said. "Dragon Ascent!" he said circling in the air before going right at her.
"Rainbow….Counter!" Rainbow said countering Flying's attack and splitting him into pieces. For a moment, Rainbow saw Flynium Z as it glowed and pulled him back together.
"I will not….lose to a pathetic human girl!" Flying said. He landed on the ground before he jumped a bit before pointing an arm up as he quickly took flight. "I rule these skies! They are my domain! And I will not be stopped! Supersonic….Skystrike!" he shouted descending quickly back down towards her.
"A Z-Move, just like fight.." Rainbow said before smirking. "I know what i've gotta do.."
"DIIIIEEE!" Flying said almost hitting Rainbow.
"I need to take it out of the equation!" Rainbow said. "Lightspeed…Piercer!" she shouted as her geode shined bright as she jumped into the air at a fast speed as the two collided and passed.
"Yes. I got a hit. And….huh?" Flying said before seeing a huge hole in his chest. "She...went through me. But wait...where's the crystal?" he said before looking up at her.
"Here it is, Genius." Rainbow said holding the Flynium Z and gripping it. "We're done here."
She crushed it with her hand.
"Gaaahhhh!" he screamed as he was sent crashing to the ground as his body was starting to fall apart. "I am superior! I am the king of the skies! I am the one who rules all! How could I lose...to an inferior human?! It makes no sense!" he called out before he was nothing as the clothes he had taken floated down to the ground.
"You wanna know why? Because i'm Awesome!" Rainbow said before some cameras came her way. "Hey Marcus, i dunno who you are… but keep doing what you're doing with your buddies at my school. And Tennis… keep up the good work. Im counting on you."
Rainbow then looked down at the clothes and the shattered crystal in her hands. "So...you guys aren't immortal. You can be killed." Rainbow said. "At least now...the people you've murdered can rest in peace."
She soon made her way back to the Great Fox, but she found that Fox was missing.
"Hold on, where's Fox?" Rainbow said.
"Just as soon as you left, Andross opened up another portal and dropped a Gigarilla near the tower. We decommissioned it, but Fox… he went into the portal alone." Slippy said.
"That Portal goes straight to Venom. Before we could follow, it closed right up." Peppy said.
"No...Fox!" Rainbow said. "There has to be a way...a way to…" she said before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Protoman.
"So...here the criminal is. But...before I arrest you...I would like to fulfill your last request of freedom. An escort to Venom and a fight against Andross." Protoman said.
"You'd… really do that?" Rainbow asked.
"Don't get me wrong. You're still a criminal, but Andross and Star Wolf are ones too. Besides, I wouldn't feel right if James' son died like him." Protoman said.
"Then let's go save Fox." Rainbow said.
