Chapter 5: Skewed Emotions
So this is the Great Fox, huh? Heh, well, it's a lot cleaner than that other piece of junk we were flying in a while back. I think I could get used to this thing. Especially seeing as how I'm gettin' paid for this little charade. Not that I have a clue what that charade is, but seriously, what's the worst Fox could get us into? As far as I can tell, I'm gonna get paid for doing pretty much nothing. Heh, never thought Fox coming back and working for Pepper would be such a good thing. Not that he exactly looked like he was up for whatever this mission is, but I guess that's not my problem. I mean, if he wasn't up for this, he wouldn't have shown himself after all this time, so whatever. I'll just sit back and see what…
"Hey, quit screwin' around over there! Is it that hard to pull this thing around without hittin' every wall we pass?"
These abrupt words echoed unimpeded throughout the otherwise silent halls of the Great Fox, an occurrence that led the formally contemplative avian to glance towards the area the voice had emanated from, finding himself only able to catch a brief glimpse of several shadows before they faded out of sight around a corner of these seemingly endless hallways. He hesitated as these shadows passed on, finding the fact that someone besides himself and the rest of the team was aboard the ship to be somewhat suspicious, but it was not long before he remembered what he had seen just prior to entering through the massive hull of the Great Fox.
Those must be the guys that were pulling that huge thing into the Great Fox. Whatever it was must've been pretty secret, seeing as how they threw that drape thing over it. But whatever it was, it seemed to make McCloud a little edgy. Maybe I should follow em' and see what's up. I mean, last thing we need is the captain keepin' secrets from his crew, right?
So with very little thought otherwise, the avian slowly set out after the escaping shadows, making sure to stay a good distance behind so that they would not detect his presence. For a long while, his plan seemed to be working, as the only thing that could be heard around him was the sound of the yells and the occasional profanities of the ones that he was following. And it was not long after the beginning of his pursuit before the large draped object disappeared behind one of the doors that sat inside the perfectly clean, metallic walls of this new Great Fox. Upon seeing exactly where this unusual object was now located, he found cover behind a corner in the hallway, a spot where he could wait until the ones he had been following left the room they had just entered, so that he could see what it was they had been carrying.
After finding that his cover behind the corner in this metal hallway was sufficient until the two animals reappeared from the room that they had just disappeared into, the avian leaned impatiently against the wall, hoping that he would not have to wait for too long a time.
I wonder what could be under that thing. Fox has never kept any kind of secrets like this from me before, so why's he starting now? As far as I can tell, I'd say whatever that thing they just dragged in there is, it's probably got something to do with the reason Fox suddenly felt like gathering up his old space buddies for another go around the galaxy. And since he won't tell me what it's about, guess I'll just have to find out for myself.
And so for several minutes, Falco waited behind this bend in the stunningly clean, metallic hallway of the Great Fox, until at last he heard something from the stillness that was previously held in this area. The cause of this was the sound of a door sliding quickly open, followed soon after by two familiar voices.
"…guess we're done in there. Now we've just gotta take care of one more thing before we get outta here. You got the engraving, right?"
"Ya, right here."
"Alright, now I'll just get this on the door and we'll be good to go."
It was after Falco heard these words that the two animal's speech ended, but this silence lasted only seconds before the sound of some kind of tool could be heard ringing loudly down the corridor he was standing within. In fact, it was so loud a noise, that he was forced to cover his ears in a somewhat vain attempt to block out the piercing blare.
Holy crap, put a silencer on that thing! This is almost as bad as the times when he had to set up those stupid M.C…whatever things on those planets to stop the mind controls. I thought I'd finally got away from those frickin' things…
Much to the avian's relief, this painful noise faded from the hallways just seconds after it had begun, at which point he uncovered his ears and tried to listen again for the two animals to speak. However, there was nothing to be heard, only the sound of their footsteps as they quickly approached Falco's position. He hesitated for a moment, knowing that it wouldn't be long before those two would see him and probably freak out because they got to see him in person, but he did not make any motion to hide, he merely leaned casually back against the wall he had been standing behind this entire time, hoping that the animals would not make the connection that they had been followed.
This relaxed stance against the wall did not last long however, because just as the animals the avian had been following where just about to round the corner, the wall that he was leaning on was revealed to, in reality, be a door, a fact that was made clear as it quickly slid open behind him, causing the avian to fall backwards through the now empty surface. Just as soon as he fell to the ground, the previously open door he had just fallen through abruptly closed, leaving the surprised avian on his back as the sound of footsteps quietly faded away from his new position.
After overcoming the initial surprise of this incident, the avian propped himself up onto one elbow, using his other free hand to rub the point of impact on his head that had resulted from his sudden fall. As he did so, he spoke under his breath in a somewhat droll tone of voice, "Well, that was a brilliant escape. Guess those guys'll be missing out on meeting me in person, that's too bad. Not that I really wanted that, but whatever." As he spoke the avian scanned the new area he now found himself in, finding however that such an endeavor was impossible due to the fact that this room was almost completely dark, with only a small ray of light that shone through a small window that sat on the side of the room opposite of where he now sat. It was not long after his first scan of the darkened room before he stood up from his unintentionally reclining position and regained a more appropriate upright stance.
It was almost immediately after the avian found himself standing that he heard a quiet noise coming from a corner of the room, causing him to freeze in place as he attempted to distinguish where exactly the sound had emanated from. However, there was no other noises heard during that time, instead, a voice rang out quietly from his left, causing the slightly perturbed avian to turn quickly in that direction as he listed to the voice in silence, "What's the matter little birdie? Are you afraid of the dark?" Falco did not answer, he instead used this time to try and identify this invisible voice, but his thoughts were cut short as he soon heard to sound of approaching footsteps, a noise that accompanied by the same voice that had spoken only seconds before, "Don't be scared, I'm not going to hurt you…unless that's what you want I guess. So just calm down…"
It was at that moment that a tingle was sent down the avian's spine, but this reaction was not wholly a result of this mysterious voice speaking to him in the darkness, but it was also due to the fact that he felt another body press up against the back of his, a feeling that was followed shortly after by two arms that securely wrapped around his body. He naturally began to struggle, still having no idea what was happening amidst the darkness, but this attempt to free himself did not last long as the voice spoke once again, but this time in a very quiet, yet beguiling voice, "I've got you now…little birdie. Maybe this will settle you down…I hope not."
At these words, Falco felt the body that held him from behind move upward slightly, a sensation that was followed closely by the feeling of a slightly cold noise as it contacted the side of his face. Not only this, but as what Falco determined to be a nose had contacted him, the arms that had held him tightly had now loosened, so that the hands were instead placed against his upper body, a muscular surface that these recently placed hands now rubbed slowly and soothingly against. It was at this point as all these pleasant sensations were felt that the avian made the connection. He turned his head slightly, causing the cold surface to drag across his face a short distance before it stopped, a point in time that Falco then choose to speak in a slightly unsure voice, "Ayame, is that you? Upon hearing these words, the voice behind the avian emitted a short giggle, a noise that was followed shortly after by brief speech, "Still not sure? Guess I'll just have to help you remember…"
At these words, the force placed upon Falco's body became so great that he staggered to the ground, causing the body that had previously pressed at his back to now press him against the ground. However, this did not last long as the weight was removed from his body, only to be abruptly rolled over onto his back before the weight was placed upon him once again. Once on his back, he felt his arms being secured to the ground by a familiar pair of hands, an action that was followed by more words, but this time they were not directed at Falco, a fact that was made obvious as the voice spoke, "Activate lights, dim."
Falco's expression raised a bit as these words were spoken, himself not entirely sure what it meant, but this vagueness was soon made clear as the light that sat above the two bodies silently activated, but not to their full extent. Instead, they only allowed enough light to create a distinctly dull white light to fill the room, allowing the trapped avian his first glance of the room he had stumbled into. However at the moment, it was the body that was placed on top of him that he was most concerned with, and he was instantly given an answer as he looked directly above him. There, hovering only a few inches from his face was an anxious-looking wolf, one whose restless smile quickly caused Falco to realize what was happening. He looked up at her with a smirk as he spoke with a hint of relief in his voice, "Heh, so it was you. Ya know, there are easier ways to get to this point…like asking." The young wolf said nothing in reply, but merely closed the distance between their heads, locking into an aggressive kiss with the unprepared avian.
Umm…I guess I'll forget about Fox's secret for a while. Who cares about his secrets anyway?
(Great Fox Bridge)
Xantia…I wonder what's I'm in for when we get there. My mother told me that Xantia was the place that I would begin to understand. But what does that mean? Understand my mission? Understand this power I suddenly have? Understand what's happened to…her? Why do all of these things have to be hidden from me in the first place. I'm sure that if I knew exactly what I was doing and what I was up against, I could probably take more effective action, but for some reason, the truth always seems to be hidden. …I guess the animals in the Spirit Realm figure the best way to discover truth is firsthand…
"Hey Fox, you ready to get this thing started?"
The contemplative vulpine snapped from his thoughts as he heard this rather upbeat voice speak from behind him. He turned his attention to the side of his new captains chair and found himself looking into the face of an unusually cheerful pink feline. Fox gave her an unconvincing nod as he spoke in a dull voice, "Ya, I've been ready for a long time, but now I'm actually doing something about it." Katt hesitated as she heard this, not sure if it was the best time to continue conversing with the vulpine in his obviously bland mood, but decided to press on as she spoke in a still optimistic tone, "It's great that your doing this, I think. You just needed a push in the right direction, isn't that right?" The feline emphasized the last part of her statement by playfully giving Fox's shoulder a nudge with her elbow, a gesture that the vulpine seemed oblivious to. Instead of acknowledging her words and actions, he turned his attention back to the floor that sat directly in front of his chair, speaking in a voice that had not been affected by the feline's friendly motions, "I shouldn't have needed to be pushed in the right direction. She means everything to me, and it took me a year to actually do something that I knew had to be done after all that time…" The feline's previously cheery expression fell at this statement, an action that was followed by her words of encouragement, "Listen Fox. Anyone would have had a tough time getting over something like you had to go through. You can't blame yourself for not getting over her death fast enough. If anything, it shows you care, right?" The vulpine shook his head subtly, answering almost immediately after his pink crewmember finished, "That might be true for them, but I can do something about it, but I haven't. Waiting this long doesn't mean I care, it means that I'm too weak, and that I'm afraid to face this destiny that I seem to have." He turned once again to the feline with an almost hurt-looking expression on his face as he finished with subdued emphasis, "What do you have to say about that, huh Katt?"
Whatever optimism had remained in Katt after it had initially begun to fade had now vanished completely as she found herself at a loss for words. Because of this, the bridge was filled with silence, a silence that was not broken for some time, a time during which Fox took to stand up from his chair at the head of the ship and turn to escape from the tension that filled the room as a result of his hopeless words. However, the vulpine was not able to make a step before a gentle blue light flashed from within the walls of the bridge, causing the entire room to be filled with this blue luminance before fading away. Both Katt and Fox hesitated after seeing this, neither of them being entirely sure of what that light meant, but this question was soon answered as a slightly distorted voice echoed throughout the bridge, "Hey Fox, are you on the bridge?" The vulpine hesitated for a moment as he determined the origin point of this voice, and after quickly determining that it was emanating from a speaker in his captains chair, he pressed a flashing blue button that sat underneath the speaker before answering, "Ya, I'm up here, what's the problem Slippy?" The voice of the toad wasted little time in responding, "Well, I was looking over the main computer consol of our new Great Fox, and I noticed that this machine registered a blue light that flashed on the bridge. Did you see that?" After nothing more than a simple affirmative answer to his question, Slippy continued on, "Ok, that's good. It seems like that will happen every time there is an incoming transmission to the ship. That light won't come on only for that though, but from what I've seen from this ship's manuals, there are other colors depending on different conditions of the ship. Like, if we were being attacked, the lights would flash red, and then when we got rid of the enemies, the lights would flash green to show that it's safe outside. There's a lot more colors too, but you probably don't want to hear about them all right now. You should probably see who is trying to contact us." The toad waited for some type of reply from his captain, but this never occurred. Feeling slightly confused, Slippy glanced down at the large mainframe he was standing in front of and quickly noticed that Fox had ended the transmission shortly after the toad had informed him of the blue light's purpose. He took a quiet sigh as he spoke to himself, "Gosh, I guess nothing's changed…"
"All members of Star Fox crew, please report to the Great Fox bridge immediately. General Pepper wishes to send his regards before we depart for current destination: Xantia."
Slippy seemed to forget about his previous feelings of being ignored as he heard this familiar robotic voice speak these words over the ship's intercom system. As a result of hearing this announcement, the toad turned from the ship's large mainframe, speaking quietly to himself as he quickly exited the room, "I almost completely forgot. ROB could have been upgraded along with the ship. I hope so, cause I can't wait to see all the new systems and programs he has installed."
It took the small toad a handful of minutes to reach the bridge, an amount of time that had increased from the older version of the Great Fox, which Slippy quickly found to be substantially smaller than the one the Star Fox team now resided within. After this brief trek through the many metallic hallways of the ship, he finally managed to breach the doors that led to the bridge, and it was as soon as these doors opened that he realized that he was the last to report in. After realizing this, Slippy hesitated with slight embarrassment as he scanned the room, due to the fact that everyone was now staring directly at him, and because he had never seen the new bridge of the Great Fox until now. Surprisingly, the toad found the bridge to be quiet small in comparison to the bridge of the previous Great Fox. There were no windows in this room, no bulky holographic emitter sitting in the middle of the room. Directly in front of him sat a large, inactive display screen that sat a short distance in front of a singular chair that could be found down a short flight of stairs. To the left of this chair sat a sort of walkway surrounded by short walls that led to the only computer that could be found on the bridge, a computer that was being controlled at that moment by a much cleaner and efficient looking ROB. Behind this stood two separate railings that protected anyone from falling the short distance from the level Slippy was standing on to where the singular chair was located. It was against these rails that Ayame, Falco, and Kaya stood, while both Fox and Katt looked up at him from their position on the lower level of the bride.
Contrary to what the toad had expected for him apparent tardiness, no one said anything as he made his appearance on the bridge. They merely turned back towards their leader took his seat at the front of the bridge. Soon after doing so and typing in a few short commanding into the consol on his captain's chair, the screen that sat at the front of the bridge lit up, which instantly caused the face of General Pepper to be brought up on the generously wide screen. It was almost as soon as his face appeared that he began to speak to the crew of the Great Fox. "Well Star Fox, it appears as though you will be leaving us once again. Perhaps your reason for doing such a thing is quite vague, but nevertheless, I wish you the best of luck in your travels. Although I do wish that you would be more open about what exactly you will be doing, but I suppose that is not my choice, is it?" Fox nodded, responding shortly after in an even tone of voice, "This is something I have to do…that I've had to do for a long time now. I couldn't have done it without your effort General." Pepper shook his head, replying with a slight chuckle, "No, no, the ship was nothing. You have more than earned it after all that you've done for this planet. I only wish that I could do more for you and your crew Fox. Just please…be careful. No one on this planet wants to come back as you did after your last return to the…"
Fox stopped the General before he could speak any farther on that matter as he raised his hand and spoke with hinted irritation, "We will be careful, don't worry. Now, just open the main docking bay doors and we'll be off. I'll report back if there are any problems, alright?" General Pepper looked at Fox with slight surprise, an expression that came as a result from the vulpines sudden impatience, but this appearance quickly faded as he spoke back in an understanding voice, "Understood, the bay doors will be open momentarily. I'll be looking forward to hearing about your future exploits. Until then Star Fox team, Pepper out." With those words, the screen went back to its original state, leaving the bridge in a temporary silence. One that was broken only seconds later as Fox stood from his chair to face ROB and announce in a calm voice, "ROB, prepare for take off. We'll be leaving as soon as those day doors open." The robot continued typing commands into his computer on the bridge as he spoke, "Affirmative, preparing for take off. Upon departure, programmed destination: Xantia, will be achieved in approximately fifty minutes via Warp Gate."
A few of the animals that heard these words were taken by surprise by the robots words. Slippy being the most of these, he spoke a short time after hearing ROB's words, "Really ROB? This ship is equipped with Warp Gate capabilities? That technology is only a few months old, and boy is it useful. Hyperspace used to be a real hassle since you had to clear a path so that there would be no collisions, but with a Warp Gate, you don't have to do that because the molecular structure of the ship is transferred so fast from place to place that there is almost no chance of a collision. Having Warp Gate capabilities will get us to different planets a lot faster than it used to." Falco shook his head indifferently at Slippy's comments, adding in an uninterested voice, "So what? We had Warp Gates on our ship, and it was nothing like this. With a ship this big, you'd have to have that kinda technology or it'd take forever to get anywhere, just like with that dumpy Great Fox we used to fly around." Ayame chimed in shortly after in a voice similar to Falco, "I couldn't imagine getting around in space without it. When you have a mission to get done, you don't have to putz around. There's nothing I hate more than sitting around on a ship with nothing to do while I'm waiting to get somewhere."
Upon hearing these words, Katt cast a sideways glare in the direction of the wolf, knowing that there was very little truth to her words. Unexpected to the feline however was that the wolf somehow noticed the feline's glare, causing Ayame to turn towards Katt with her hands on her hips as she spoke, "You got a problem down there pinkie? I really don't like it when you look at me like that, so how about you stop?" The focus of Katt's eye did not waver as she spoke in return, "I'm sorry, didn't mean to offend you, but we all know what you're up to. You sure you don't do anything when you're waiting around on the ship? You just sit in your room and stare out the window the whole time, right?" Ayame shook her head, replying shortly after in an amused sounding voice, "Heh, of course not. There are better ways to pass the time, not that you'd know what I'm talking about." This time Katt shook her head as she responded, "Really? Then maybe you'd like to tell me what you were doing before you came up to the bridge?" It was here that the two females eyes broke contact as Ayame turned away, answering in a slightly defensive voice, "That's really none of your business. But what I want to know is why you care so much. I mean, we don't even know each other and you're already trying to make me look like a terrible animal. What is your problem?" Katt walked a short distance closer to the wolf as she responded confidently, "What's my problem? I'd have to say it's you." Ayame quickly turned back to the feline with the hint of an angry smirk on her face, "Those are big words coming from a little kitty like you. You should know better to mess with a species above your own." The feline shrugged her shoulders as she spoke in reply, "If that was true, I'd have been dead a long time ago. Don't think your stronger than me just because you're a wolf. Besides, how many people have even heard of you? Ayame? Must not be that great of a mercenary if no one's even heard of ya." Katt let off a satisfied smirk at the end of this statement, causing the wolf's teeth to clench slightly as her anger became more and more apparent. Despite these feelings however, Ayame managed to compose herself before she spoke in retaliation, "Heh, please. Are you saying that you are better than me just because you're some prissy model? As far as I can tell, that won't help you out here in space, or in a fight for that matter, and that's kinda what I feel we're headed for if you don't shut your pink face up. And I'm sure a few broken bones in your face won't be the greatest thing for your girly little career, will it?"
Ayame's face lit up with satisfaction after these words, but that was not enough to deter Katt from continuing this verbal competition. However, there was something else that hindered her from pressing on in the debate, and that was the voice of their leader, who spoke from his captain's chair, "What's happening? Why haven't we left yet? ROB, what's the problem?" All activity on the bridge halted as Fox spoke, a moment in time that was followed only by the reply of the robot, "Main Docking bay door seems to have malfunctioned. Estimated time until repair, four hours, twenty-seven minutes." At these words, Fox quickly attempted to contact the docking bay to see if there was some other way to open the door, but this attempt led only to failure as ROB spoke again, "Captain Fox McCloud's attempts to contact Docking Bay Maintenance are unsuccessful, transmission error in communication circuit 64-Cx. Repair of circuit required for successful transmissions." Fox stood abruptly from his chair after hearing these words, throwing a firm glance back towards Slippy. The toad could have almost fallen over from such an aggressive and commanding glance being shot in his direction, and there was no hesitation on his part to find and repair that circuit. As Slippy quickly left the bridge, Fox tried to communicate with the Docking Bay staff once more, only to have it end in a similar fashion. It was after this attempt that the captain slammed his fist forcefully into the armrest of his chair, yelling out in a voice that caught everyone off guard, "What is happening? First the doors won't open and now the ship is already having problems? I'm not going to let stuff like this stop me! ROB! Prepare to fire on that hanger door. If it won't open, I'll just have to open it myself!"
The bridge was silenced by the aggressive words of their usually composed leader, each of the animals that stood around him looked at him with eyes filled with confusion, and even a hint of fear. As Fox stormed over towards ROB's computer to make sure the robot was doing as he was told, Falco hopped over the railing and began to approach the vulpine. Before he reached his friend however, he stopped next to the still angry looking Katt and said evenly, "You need to drop it. She'll live how she wants, and you live how you want, alright?" He then took one step further towards the vulpine before speaking again, "And you Fox, you're not really gonna go and blow the doors off this place, are you?. Just wait the few hours it'll take and then we'll leave. Not like it's a big deal, besides, you may end up hurting more than just this docking bay ya know…so just calm down Fox." His captain turned to him with an expression that matched the attitude of his recent outburst as he replied hurriedly, "I don't have time to wait for the door to open Falco! I've already wasted too much time on this planet and I won't let anything slow me down any more, got it?" The avian stood for a moment, not sure of what he could possibly say to their extremely anxious leader, so instead of trying to fight it, Falco merely shrugged his shoulders and answered indifferently, "Well, you're the captain here. You do whatever you think is best, and I'll go with it. If you wanna blow a hole in this place, go for it, I'm not stopping you."
Fox did not make any sort of gesture in response to the avian's response, but merely turned back to ROB's computer as he spoke instead to the robot, "Prepare to fire on the hanger doors ROB, and once we do that, make sure we get off the planet as fast as you can. Got it?" After an almost reluctant affirmative reply from the robot, Fox took a deep breath before speaking once again to ROB, "Alright then, take aim at those hanger door and fire on my command." Falco glanced back at the remaining animals on the bridge and motioned for them to brace themselves against anything they could get their hand on, which everyone besides Fox found to be the small guardrail. All noise on the bridge seemed to stop at this moment, no one being exactly sure about what was about to happen or why Fox was suddenly acting out in such a way. However, their time for these thoughts was cut short as Fox announced loudly to the robot that sat slightly above him, "Fire!"
(Main Hangar Bay surveillance room)
A panicked voice broke out of the previously quiet room, which had only been filled with the noises of quietly humming monitors before this voice spoke, "General Pepper! Come in General Pepper. There's been an accident in our main hangar bay!"
There was a slight hesitation on the other end of the transmission before a voice came in response, "…Pepper here. What's the problem officer?"
The officer responded quickly in a voice that still seemed to be filled with alarm, "It seems like the Great Fox has fired on and completely destroyed our malfunctioning bay door and is now making its way out of the hole it created. Should I try and contact them?"
For a moment, nothing was heard over the intercom, but this silence did not last long before Pepper responded in a shocked tone of voice, "You mean…they shot at the door from the inside of the hangar? That's crazy! Are you sure that it wasn't a weapons malfunction of some sort?"
The animal wasted no time in responding, "No sir, their main cannons were adjusted directly at the door only moments before it was fired upon. It had to be a deliberate attack. Should we keep him from leaving?" After saying this, the surveillance officer waited for a response, but for several seconds, he was supplied with nothing more than silence from the other end of the transmission. Not sure if he had lost the General's signal, he called into the speaking with a hint of confusion in his voice, "General Pepper, are you still there? Should I stop them?"
Suddenly out of nowhere, Pepper's voice was once again heard over the intercom, "…No, don't stop them. You won't do any good trying to slow the Great Fox down with any of the ships you have there right now…or even with any ship on this planet."
There was a slight hesitation by the officer as he heard these words, but having been told this from the General himself, he asked in a respectful voice, "Then what are your orders sir?"
It was almost as if you could hear the General's amused smile on the other end of the transmission as he spoke in response to the surveillance officer's question, "Get to fixing that door, and wish Fox and his crew good luck as they depart. If Fox is that determined to get on with his mission, there can't be a force alive that can stop him. I just hope that such determination will not cause him to do anything too rash…"
The General chuckled to himself as he ended the transmission, speaking quietly under his breath as he did so, "What am I saying? He just attempted to destroy our main hangar. Perhaps such action is forgivable here, but if that vulpine continues to take such reckless action, he may find himself in real trouble. Just be careful Fox, and come back to Corneria successful in your exploits. We're all rooting for you, just as we always have, Fox McCloud."
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Umm…Hi! Guess who had to play golf everyday of his life and then decide to use that as his excuse to not type! Me! I hope that you may find it in your forgiving hearts to pardon me for such tardiness. However, I am not quitting this story, because now that golf is over, I no longer have a valid excuse for not typing. Anyway, that's all I have to say, Chao! Oh wait! Krystal's part of this story will be like Falco's side story in Echoes of the Future, then it can be more developed, which I know is much needed in that department of the story. Now I'm done for real…
(Title not yet devised)
Check it, the Star Fox team is now leaving for the planet Xantia, and they can actually get there in one chapter now because of those sweet green warp gates! Yes, no more 3 chapter, "Let's get to the planet" chapters! Fox will contemplate his actions and perhaps Katt and Ayame will finish their fight. Guess you'll see in a few days…
