Dan, Blake, and Sadia slid a long way down what felt like an icy stone slide. Dan saw a burst of flames coming from his left. He turned his head in the direction of it, but too late. They had rounded a corner, blocking it from view. Dan saw a wide gap in the slide. When they went off the ramp, Daniel made it, and Blake made it, but Sadia fell short, and managed to grab onto the ledge. Dan reacted instantly and grabbed onto the sides of the slide.
"Hold on Sadia!" yelled Dan, "I'm coming!" Dan was slowly moving up the slide. Sadia's hand was slipping. He could hear the rock crumbing beneath Sadia's hand. Dan was almost there, when the rock broke off from the slide. Dan missed Sadia's hand, but he jumped off the ledge, and shot a grappling hook up to the slide. Dan grabbed Sadia's hand, and he started to climb up the rope.
"Thank you!" said Sadia as she kissed Dan on the cheek. Dan blushed, and continued to climb the rope. He reached the top of the rope. He put Sadia on the slide first, then clambered onto the slide himself, reeling in the grappling hook.
"I don't see Blake anywhere!" said Dan as he looked around. "He must have slid ahead of us." Meanwhile, on another slide, a red fox was trying to escape from the guards.
"Get back here!" said one of the guards, "GET BACK HERE!"
"IT WASN'T ME!!! I DIDN'T DO IT!" yelled the red fox. The slide she was on made a left turn, and she saw someone trying to save an icy blue fox. 'Is that Krystal?' she thought to herself, but then one of the guards fired a laser at the red fox, narrowly missing her ear. 'I'd better move it, or I'm going to be caught.' She moved her head down toward the slide, and she moved faster.
"I think I see the light at the end of the slide!" said Dan. Sadia glared at him.
"Can't you think of anything original?" said Sadia as they felt the slide's angle increase.
"It was all I could think of off the top of my head." said Dan as they went off the ramp. The red fox was going off of her ramp at the same time also.
"They're going to catch me!" said the red fox, "Wait a minute, I got it!" She took out her blaster, and shot the ramp. The guards fell into the bottomless pit. As she put her blaster away, she crashed into the two figures she saw earlier. Sadia landed facedown on the ground, Dan landed on all fours, and the red fox landed on top of Sadia. Dan stood up as if nothing had happened, but Sadia had to push the red fox off of her before she could get up.
"Ouch!" said the red fox, "What did I hit?" She noticed Dan and Sadia. "Who are you? Wait, don't tell me. Don't tell me." Dan and Sadia stared at her. Then they heard footfalls behind them. Dan turned around and saw Blake bounding toward them.
"Where were you?" said Blake. "I was worried! By the way, you look like something the cat dragged in."
"I highly doubt that." muttered Dan under his breath. "Want me to show you around?"
"Okay." said Sadia.
"I'm game." said Blake.
"Great!" said the red fox, whose name was Flying Fox. She preferred to be called Jessie. Meanwhile, back on the Great Fox, Slippy was scanning all of the planets in the lylat system one-by-one for Dan.
"I don't see anything in Sector X, Sector Y, Titania, Fortuna, or Aquas!" said Slippy. "There's about 5,000 units of Life Force energy being rediated from Katrina, and 2,500 Life Force units coming from Zoness." He punched in the Coordinates for McBeth.
"Scanning... Target... Daniel Wolenski..." said the computer.
"Fox, will he be okay?" said Krystal.
"I'm sure he'll be okay." said Fox putting his arm around Krystal. "He seems to be a really good pilot. Slippy is scanning McBeth right now." Fox turned to Slippy. "Slippy, you got anything yet?"
"Almost," said Slippy. "One more sector to go." The computer made a soft humming noise as it scanned the final sector of McBeth. About one minute later, the computer made several beeping noises, indicating it had found its target.
"Target located," said the Computer, "Three other people are with him."
"Can you get a visiual?" said Slippy, punching in the command to show the video. Dan, a red fox, a blue fox, and a dog showed up on the screen. They were walking by switch number 3. A train rushed past them, its horn blaring. The dog walked up to Dan, and sat down next to him and they started talking. The red fox walkled up to Dan, and handed him a piece of paper. "That looks like Eclipse!"
"It is?" said Fox, looking puzzled, then he remembered. "Oh. Eclipse. Now I remember. She's from Eric and Sarah came to this world!" Dan got up, stretched his arms, then stuffed the piece of paper in his pocket. The blue fox walked up to Dan, put her arm around his shoulder, then walked away with him.
"Seems like he finally found someone he likes." said Falco, but Fox didn't asnwer him. "Fox. Fox are you okay?"
"Slippy, is this a live video feed, or a video recording?" Fox asked slowly. Slippy looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"It's a live video feed." said Slippy, "Why?"
"I thought I saw Krystal down there." said Fox. Dan and the blue fox walked back into view. Dan was carrying something small in his hand. Slippy zoomed in on the small object. It appeared to be a small white capsule that had a bright yellow stripe on it and the number 80. Dan pressed a button on the top, and threw it. A puff of smoke appeared. WHen the smoke cleared, a spacecraft was sitting on the ground. Fox felt his jaw drop. Dan and his friends climbed in the spacecraft, and flew off. Fox slowly turned to Slippy. "Did i see what I thought i saw?"
"I don't know if you saw what you see when you can see what you saw." said Slippy. "Did you see what you thought you saw when you saw what you see if you could see a saw that was sawwing a see-saw." This continued for a few minutes, until Krystal, who couldn't stand the noise, got up.
"ENOUGH WITH THE SEE AND THE SAW!" yelled Krystal over all the noise. "I don't care if Fox saw a saw on a see-saw, or if Slippy could see a saw that was sawing a saw-horse riding on a see-saw with a saw that was under the sea! All I know is that we don't know who those people are! We have got to find out!" Fox just stared at her, his eyes wide.
"You sound alot like my mother when she was angry at me." said Fox. "You sound creepy when you do that."
"Who wants to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3?" said Falco, holding up a case.
"I do!" said everyone except Krystal. Falco fell over.
"It's a 2-player game!" yelled Falco. "I can't have 3 people playing it at the same time!"
"Hold on Sadia!" yelled Dan, "I'm coming!" Dan was slowly moving up the slide. Sadia's hand was slipping. He could hear the rock crumbing beneath Sadia's hand. Dan was almost there, when the rock broke off from the slide. Dan missed Sadia's hand, but he jumped off the ledge, and shot a grappling hook up to the slide.
