Chapter 7: Alley Rush

*Fox and Gannondorf run through the alleys of Corneria with Samus and the group following closely after them. Fox and Gannondorf come to a three-way split. They look at each other, and go in different directions. Samus and Yoshi arrive at the splits.*

Samus: I'm sure they went in different directions. You stay here just in case one of them come back.

Yoshi: I can be of more use than waiting for one of them to come back!

*Samus runs down the left path, completely ignoring Yoshi. Link and Sheik appear with the unconscious Kirby.*

Sheik: Where's Samus?

Yoshi: She went down the left path. She thinks Fox and Gannondorf went down different paths.

Sheik: So why are you here.

Yoshi: She thinks one of them might come back, so she told me to stay here.

Sheik: Good, you can keep an eye on Kirby.

Yoshi: I don't want to baby sit!

Sheik: It's not that hard keeping an eye on someone who's not even awake.

Yoshi: *sigh*

*Sheik lays Kirby on the ground next to Yoshi, and goes down the middle path while Link goes down the right path. Link feels something pass him by quickly, but thinks it's nothing. The female dinosaur finally makes her way down the alley, and sees Yoshi. She becomes extremely happy and begins running towards Yoshi until she sees a foot strike Yoshi down. She stares in shock as the rest of the body is revealed, making it known that it is Fox McCloud who kicked Yoshi. Her face changes from a shocked to furious expression. Her eyes lock on to Fox and she charges down the alley at high speeds. Fox's ears pick up a heavy sound and he looks down an alley path. He sees two bright red eyes heading towards him, but he can't see the body because of the lack of light in the alley. He finally makes out the body as it comes into the light, but it is too late. The massive body picks Fox up and continues to run down another alley. The noise wakes Kirby up and Yoshi watches the large body carry Fox into the darkness of another alley, and he knows it's the dinosaur because she had the same look on her face when she almost killed him in the bar. Gannondorf runs down the alley path until he reaches a dead end.*

Gannondorf: Damn...

Samus: Looking for a way out?

GDorf: Ah, I see you have found me.

Samus: Well, you move so slowly that I wasn't sure if you wanted to be found or not.

GDorf: Well, lets fight.

Samus: Gladly *points cannon at Gannondorf*

*rumble*

Samus: Huh?

GDorf: What the hell was that noise?!

*Samus and Gannondorf look down the alley, trying to figure out what the noise was. They then see a huge dinosaur, with Fox in her hand, running towards them. Samus wall jumps out of the way. Gannondorf tries to jump out of the way, but gets knocked through the air by the powerful dinosaur. The dinosaur stops at the dead end, and slams Fox into some trash bags in a corner. She begins stomping and slashing at the bags, while Fox rolls around, trying to dodge all of the attacks. Yoshi and Kirby run up the alley, and Yoshi tells the dinosaur to stop. Samus lands, and shortly afterwards, Gannondorf comes crashing to the ground.*

Samus: Aren't you suppose to be at the splits?

Yoshi: Yeah...but all the action is here. Besides, Sheik and Link are back there, somewhere...

Samus: Who is that big-arse dinosaur?

Yoshi: I met her in the bar. It seems she has taken a liking to me. What is your name, anyway?

Dinosaur: I'm...Shyla...

Kirby:

Fox: *trying to get out of the trash* I will get you all!

Kirby: Oh, calm down. We aren't here to fight you. We just want your help.

GDorf: Our...help? You need it for what?

Kirby: The rules have gotten strict and we need as many mascots as possible to convince Miyamoto into making them not so strict.

GDorf: ...So?

Yoshi: I guess you haven't heard yet...you aren't allowed to have your own moveset. You are...*snicker*...a clone of Captain Falcon!

GDorf: WHAT?! This is ridiculous! I will not stand for this!

Fox: And what makes you think you can convince me?

Kirby: Hmmm...I still remember a certain event that took place with you and a female Fox one night. I'm sure General Pepper wouldn't be too happy about that...

Fox: Fawk...

Samus: So...will you boys cooperate?

Yoshi: Or will Shyla have to deal with you?

Fox: Dammit...

GDorf: We'll cooperate.

Kirby: Good.
