EPISODE TWO- PART TWO
CAPTAIN FALCON ADVANCED on Samus, face twisted in an angry, blood-thirsty look. He couldn't really attack her, not here at school, not with Fox standing behind her.
Fox wasn't there now, though. A yelp came from him and Samus, turning slowly around, saw Roy with sword unsheathed attacking. Falcon, who took her distraction to his advantage, hooked one hand around both of hers and wrapped his other arm around her throat.
"Do you want to take back all that you've just said? You've caused more embarrassment for me today than anyone else has in my entire lifetime. If you keep this whole thin' up, I may really have to break up with you. Then I won't feel so guilty about breakin' your neck." he hissed into her ear. "What do you say? Renounce all that Pretty Princess Zelda has tried to teach you and keep the things the way they are, or keep with you statements and become an enemy of the Blue Falcons?"
"Falcon," Samus struggled to tear away from his grip, "just get away from me! I don't love you now- I don't know if I ever really did- and nothing you say can make me. You've already got two members against you on this, and I have no clue why Roy is low enough to help you still."
He tossed his head back and laughed, arm tightening around her helmet. Any closer and he'd be cutting off her air.... "Roy is smarter than the rest. Though he is Fox's friend, he knows better than to go against my orders. And, let me tell you, your Fox- hero is no match at all for Roy."
If only Samus wasn't wearing the helmet. There were a number of things her bodysuit could do, but nothing short of her own teeth would get the captain off her back. It was painful to watch Fox, who was obviously as outmatched as Falcon said, beat by Roy's long sword. And she could only sit by and watch.
"I'll let the boy go if you take back all you said, in a loud enough voice for all those around us to hear." Samus hadn't realized how many people had gathered around them. Nearly all the school was watching the fight, cheering on the competitors and screaming with joy every time Roy got a hit. The violent dinosaurs, why didn't none of them even try to stop it?
"I won't!" she whispered. Then, the crowd giving her an idea, she added at the top of her lungs, "Look how cowardly Falcon is, everybody. He makes one of the gang members attack him instead of fighting himself! Is he afraid he'll lose, or does he not want to break a nail?"
An uproar started among the by-standers, drowning out the first period bell with their now angered voices. All the screams made no sense packed together as they were, but the point got across to Falcon. Ruthlessly dropping Samus to the ground, he ran into the center of the circle. He pushed Roy right out of the crowd and stood, threateningly flexing his muscular arms, opposing Fox.
The deafening roar did not stop. Falcon was far too late to save his pride, something that brought a smile to Fox through his bruised and bleeding cheek. "Looks like you lost, Captain. I suggest you take your leave right after breaking up and apologizing to Samus. If you stay, I'm afraid our angered peers here will need someone to take their disappointment in their fight out on."
Lip curling up, Falcon retreated from the circle, found his still fallen girlfriend, and stared down into her helmet. "You know, Samus, you're really not that beautiful underneath all that. Honestly, you look much hotter with it on. It's over between us, but it won't be over between you and the Blue Falcons for a very long time. Don't go anywhere alone because we'll be there, waitin' for the perfect time to get our revenge."
AT LUNCH, SAMUS was finally able to find Zelda, sitting at, of all places, Peach's table. Luigi, Link, Daisy, and a small, yellow animal sat with them. Sucking in her breath, Samus approached.
"Hey, Zelda, what happened this morning?" she asked her friend, sidling up beside her. The conversation they had been having at the table fell apart, and the creature fell onto Peach's lap yellow ears first.
"I'm so sorry, Samus." Zelda apologized, getting out of the chair to face her friend. "I couldn't take it anymore. The air of a fight... I can't stand fights. I figured that Fox would help you, and, by what I heard, he did. Are you free of Falcon, as everyone says?"
Samus shook her head. "I'm no longer his girlfriend. Now I'm just another addition to the Blue Falcon's enemies list. And, because of me, Fox has been added. I feel so guilty about letting him fight instead of taking on Falcon myself."
"Oh, don't say that." Samus and Zelda both jumped at the voice, then turned to see that Fox had barely joined them. Masking a scar that had come on his face in the fight, he bowed deeply to the two women. "I was honored to fight your battle for you. Falcon is my enemy as much as he is yours."
Zelda smiled at him, her hand finding Link's as the hero stepped up behind her. "I never would have thought as you as an ally of mine, Fox, but welcome to the anti-Falcon team."
"Since when do you have a team against Falcon?" Link asked. "I am still in his gang, y'know." He wrapped his arms around Zelda's middle, whispering into her ear. "I will drop out of it, if you want me to."
"And you will drop out if you want to be on the Blue Faclon enemy list." All four of them jumped at this new voice, the voice of Captain Falcon himself. "All of you shall be unless you stop this little group against us. And if you don't do it willin'ly, I'll send the toughest fighters in all of Mute City against you."
Link turned to face Falcon first, putting himself between the villain and his friends. "We're not afraid of you, or your fighters. I'll protect anyone here from your gang, and I'm not in it anymore."
