SPACE CONFLICT

When we last left Fox, he was launching an assult on a ship which only Falco was concious. Could he run away in time?
And here we continue...

Yes, he could.

Falco dragged his exhausted feathers over to the control panal and programed the ship. The Arwings, meanwhile, were firing bombs and charge shots for all their worth.

Fox was grinning. "We've got that buzzard now!"

The comlink buzzed to life again. "Don't get too cocky, Star Fox."

"Andross has ordered us to take you down."

"Peppy! Long time no see!"

"You'll be sorry you crossed us!"

"Not...Star Wolf!" Fox cried.

"YES! STAR WOLF!" Falco cried. He had messaged him and told him of Star Fox's location. They had struck up a deal involving Andross recieving Star Fox's live body. Now THAT'S sickening.

Fox took up his comlink and contacted the Great Fox. "Mewtwo and Ganondorf! Man the manual cannons! Peach! I need you to press the red button. That will open fire on the Alliance ship from the Great Fox's lasers. PLEASE don't fire a space bomb, it'll waste all our energy."

Ganondorf and Mewtwo grabbed the manual cannons and started blasting away. Peach, being stupid, accidentally pressed the BLUE button. The ship fired off a space bomb. It flew towards the Alliance Ship.

"Ooooh! It's so pretty!"

"Oh, DEAR GOD! WOLF! WOOOOOOOLF!!!"

"What now, you stupid fleabag?"

"He's fired a SPACE BOMB! Please please PLEASE!!!" SAVE ME!!!"

"All right, all right."

The Star Wolf team ganged up on the space bomb and blew it up. The Star Fox team ganged up on the Star Wolf team and blew THEM up.

"UNCLE ANDROSS!!..."

"MY BEAUTIFUL REWARD! AAHAHAHAUGH..."

"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!..."

"I...CAN'T...LOSE..."

The Alliance ship's engines had powered up by now. It lit up and zoomed out of range.

"Ah, crud!"

"We didn't even kill Star Wolf! He's landed on that red-ish planet down there."

"That's Brinstar. He probably won't survive for long down there..."

"I've GOT to make sure," Star Fox said angrily. "I've had enough of his cracks at my dad. I'm getting rid of him for good."

"But LOOK at the Great Fox! We've got to repair it! We don't have the money for these kinds of repairs! And all our energy was wasted on that stupid bomb! We need to refuel, and we need money for that too! Until then, no Brinstar raids!"

Ganondorf stood up. "I think you'll like this idea..."

MEANWHILE...

"I WANT THEIR HIDES! EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!"

"Calm down, Falco..." but it was useless. Kirby was lazing around in the waiting room at SSBM headquarters, trying to shut Falco up.

"I WISH I COULD BOOT THEM ALL! YES! BOOT THEM ALL RIGHT OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT!"

"You could, if you made a match."

"Yes. I could! I COULD! I could get a match against them like I asked for before. Then I could say that the winning side won't ONLY lose their team, but their team's tournament Championship shots, too! HAHAHA! I've got you now, Fox McCloud!"

Suddenly...

"I WANT MY LAWYER!" Ness screamed.

"Um, Ness, you're too young to sue anyone."

"NO! I HATE FOX! I WISH HE WERE DEAD!"

"He's right, Roy," Marth babbled in Japanese. "We've GOT to fight Star Fox and win back our money that he stole from us."

A group of smash entrants had just entered the room. Marth, Roy, Ness, Mr. Game & Watch, and the Ice Climbers had just entered the S.S.B. Headquarters. Fox had screwed the whole lot of them. To get funding for repairs on the Great Fox, he and his crew robbed the S.S.B. bank, stealing every last coin. All of them were left broke. (Ness's mommy had set up his account.)

"Gentlemen...and Gentlewoman!" he added quickly, looking at Nana. "Do I ever have a proposition for you."

MEANWHILE...

TSEWW! TSEWW!

Fox was piloting the newly-upgraded Great Fox along the planet Brinstar, eliminating everything on the ground that moved. He suddenly stopped shooting as he noticed a battle below...

Samus was firing missiles into the Mother Brain directly below! She had enlisted the help of Yoshi and D.K., who were pounding on it as well. Suddenly, the Mother Brain had the three of them down.

From out of nowhere came Metroid! It latched onto the Mother Brain, sucking all its health out of it. After downing it, Metroid moved on to heal Samus, D.K., and Yoshi, and powered them up. What the Metroid didn't notice was the Mother Brain regrouping for another attack.

Enter Star Fox! The Great Fox's lasers blasted into the Mother Brain, finally downing it. It slowly sunk to the ground in its death agony.

The planet surface was shuddering and cracking! In no time the planet would explode! Quickly, Star Fox flew to the surface and rounded up Samus, D.K., and Yoshi. The Great Fox flew into space as Brinstar became history.

"Thank...you..." Samus managed to wheeze. "It...would have...had us...if it weren't for you."

"Awww, no prob," Star Fox said, smiling at her.

Suddenly, Donkey Kong and Yoshi rushed at Samus, beating her to the ground! Fox rushed at them with a fiery rage. Speaking of fire, he used his Fire Fox to send them flaming into the air! He took them both on at once, literally pounding the life out of the rebellious dino and monkey. Fox finally left them laying, and sank to his knees wheezing.

"Are you okay?" Samus asked. She had already recovered from the attack and was kneeling beside Fox, who was completely winded.

She stayed with him until he was able to recover, then the two of them turned to face Yoshi and D.K., but they had gone. They returned to the bridge, and Peppy informed them that two escape pods were missing, and asked what the heck happened. Fox just sighed with fatigue.

MEANWHILE...

"Did you see the looks on their faces! Hah hah haaaaaaa!" Falco was celebrating with his team members. He had commendeered the dino & monkey specifically for that job beforehand, and now the two of them were with the Alliance outside the SSBM council's door. (The Alliance caught all the action by watching through a special eye-camera that was fitted on Yoshi (like a contact lens).)

"Enough celebrating for now, I have to speak with the council again. If they accept then we'll have to really work on our ship. Well, wish me luck."

The team wished him luck. Falco stepped through the large double doors and faced a long table, with 12 members all sitting in a row. It wasn't the first time Falco had seen them.

"Falco. You're back. What have you come for this time?"

"If you remember from last time, counsellor, we discussed a match that I wished to make."

A WHILE LATER...

"...both sides have nearly equal numbers. Plus, all smashers have chosen sides. I propose that the battle I suggested be Winner Take All. The winning side won't ONLY lose their team, but their team's tournament Championship shots, too." Falco was trying to keep his cool, although he was sweating buckets. If birds are even capable of sweating.

"Well, Falco, your team does have one more member than them. What do you propose to do about that?"

"Ummmmmmmm... I know! They can pick one team member to be returned VIA flying platform after he's been eliminated once. He can even have a supply of food to replenish his damage.

"So.... do you accept?"

"Oh, sure, sure. Just stop bothering us."

Falco emerged from the council room. "Team, we've got work to do..."
