Chapter 9
Corneria general hospital
14:00
Room 64
He lunged at Fox but was held back by a hand cuff on his arm, he struggled to pull free causing his wrist to bleed.
"Holy shit! Its crazy!" Bill yelled backing away from the angry alien in bed.
Hearing this the creature stopped it's struggles and stared right at the bulldog and growled at him "Which one of you is in charge?" Bill was shocked that it spoke Cornerian so much so that he didn't respond. "What's wrong mutt I asked you a question."
This caused his to snap, calling a dog a mutt was the equivalent of calling a human a bastard. "who the fuck do you think you are, I should come over there and beat your chained ass."
"Enough, I am, my name is Fox McCloud. What's yours?" the young fox asked.
"To hell with you, Fanatical Covenant asswipe." the hairless ape hissed as he shifted his gaze to meet Foxs green eyes. He pulled at the handcuffs one last time getting nowhere, but the fox walked to the side of the bed. Now that fox was closer he could see faint traces of yellow in and around the edges of grey.
Fox looked at him quizzically trying to keep his calm as Falco held back Bill. "What the fuck is the Covenant! And why can you speak Cornerian?"
"Wait, your not part of the Covenant? And I'm speaking English not corna... Whatever you said" his tone instantly changed to what sounded like curiosity but his muscles were still tensed.
"No your the first non-Lylatian I've ever seen. I was one of the people who found you. When we did you were in pretty rough shape we brought to the hospital." fox saw he was getting through to the alien.
Well then, I guess I owe you an apology for my reaction earlier. Last time I was near aliens... it wasn't fun."
"No harm done. Now if you don't mind I got some questions for you." Fox asked.
"Alright I'll answer what I can if you answer some of my own."
"Deal but me first. You already know mine but what's your name?"
"Gunnery sergeant Gianvito Azreal Auditore, Spartan IV. Part of the UNSC army."
"Oh wow a military guy. Big whoop." Bill muttered
"Alright my turn, where am I?" Azreal asked.
"That's easy, your in the Capitol city of Corneria, the most advanced planet in system." Falco said. "By the way I'm Falco Lombardi, that's Bill."
"How old are you?" the bull dog blurted out as he stared at Azreal befuddled.
"Chronologically 27 physically about 17."
"Wait, what, that makes no sense. How can you have to ages?" Falco was completely perplexed.
"Well, I assume you saw the ship I was on?" Fox nodded while the others shook their heads. "When we travel between systems, it can take weeks or months, so to save supplies non-essential crew are put into cryogenic pods, stopping all bodily functions including aging."
"We haven't even visited systems besides Lylat." Bill said quietly. While Azreal started looking down his bandages
The next time the human spoke his voice was nervous. "You said I had spikes in me but I don't have any scars, how long was I out?
"About a day, the spikes were pull about 15 hour ago." Fox said.
"Shit..."
=I=
"Alright, good work you two payment has been transferred." Pepper said as he held out his hand.
Peppy and James took the hand I turn. James watch alarm started going off. "Our friend should be awake now, care to join us general?"
"Of course just let me grab my jacket." the hound dog grabbed his red dress jacket and put it on then walked out the door. "We can take my car."
"Sure thing, Pepper." Peppy said as they walked out the door. "Hey, James you should tell Fox that he'll have to walk home today."
"Good idea." the vulpine pulled out his phone and sent his son a text.
=I=
"Hey, Miyu. I've been thinking."
"Oh Fay, say it ain't so. Are you going to be okay?" The lynx said as she brushed dry paint out of her fur.
"Oh ha fucking ha. But seriously what if Fara's right and Fox was the one wheeled into the hospital?" she put on a clean shirt and threw here paint covered one in the schools laundry shoot.
"Then we hope he gets better, not much we could do." Miyu stated matter of factly.
"Alright but can we stop by his house and just check, please."
Miyu turned to her to refuse but saw what Fay was doing "Oh god no! Not the face! It won't work this time. No I am stronger than this." eventually the lynx broke down a said in defeat. "Fuck, Fine." Fay stopped pulling a puppy dog face And broke out into a smile.
"Thanks, you're a great friend." Fay teased.
=I=
A beeping noise went off in Foxs pocket, the noise made Azreals head jerk in Foxs direction and a small growl to escape his chest, but it was suppressed quickly. Fox pulled out his phone and read the message.
"Fuck!" he yelled.
"What is it Foxy?" Bill asked, fox turned toward him and tossed the phone to him. Bill quickly read it
-Hey kiddo me pep and the general just got to hospital to visit our friend your gunna have to walk tday srry-
"Shit we got to hide." the bull dog sighed
"Why, what's going on?" Falco said getting up from his chair and looking around the room.
"Peppy, my dad, and the general are here at the hospital to talk to him." Fox said while searching the room for his own hiding spot.
"I got one two of us can fit." Falco said as he climbed underneath the bed.
"Bill you go under if I get caught I just get in shit for skipping, you'll probably be tossed in jail." Fox then turned to the guy in the bed "Don't mention anything about Falco and Bill, can you do that?"
"Sure no problem, but who is this general you mentioned earlier?" Azreal asked
"Leader of Cornaria and her armies, most powerful man in the system, undisputed leader. Shall I go on."
"So he's a dictator."
"Oh hell no farthest thing from it only looks to benefit citizens of lylat." Fox sat down and buried his head in his hands trying to figure out a plausible excuse that his dad would believe. Just then the door opened and his dad, Peppy and Pepper walked in.
"Fox! What are you doing here?"
