Chapter Six: Fox vs. Pikachu, Fire Fox and the Electric Mouse
Kirby came out of the room, just like Pikachu thought he would. It was a good sign that all his dreams were coming true. He hated the fact he was going to be put out of commission like the others.
Fox watched the pink balloon walk into the waiting room with a face that was more than just sullen. Fox felt that something bad had happened to the others, but he couldn't quite place what. He'd worry about it later, the purple man was getting him and the yellow mouse.
Fox finished his thirty minute training session and saw the stage before him. It was a smaller version of the Great Fox. Up above, Arwings flew around. Falco? No, he wouldn't see him until much later. BLUE! The word screamed in his mind, but he ignored it. Captain, we're going down! Peppy's voice? Or Slippy's? He couldn't tell. He didn't care. His opponent had shown up.
The mouse, which looked annoyed, was staring at, or through, Fox. He couldn't tell. He didn't care. Fox looked blankly for a second.
'What am I doing?' he thought. He had never thought like that before. Not caring when he didn't know something. It didn't make since.
His mind wandered just a little too much. He felt the jolt of electricity flow through him, sending him towards the cockpit of the Great Fox. That was a cheap shot! Fox couldn't take that. In a split second, Fox was up and powering up an attack. Fire Fox? He didn't know. He went towards the mouse, hitting him past the dorsal wing. He fell onto the big engine. Fox followed.
The electric mouse was waiting.
"Thunder!" Fox didn't expect a shot of thunder from the sky. He was thrown into the point of the dorsal wing, breaking a rib. No, that wasn't possible. It was him breaking the dorsal wing. Fox was angry, but he was paralyzed. He couldn't move, and he was falling towards the voracious mouse. As he landed, the Pikachu shot him up with a back flip tail whip. Fox couldn't move! He couldn't! As he came back to earth, really the Great Fox, and the Pikachu was there to meet him again.
Fox was sent through the dorsal wing this time. And landed on the cockpit again. He was still paralyzed. Can't move! Need to move! It's coming! It? No, not It. Pikachu? Electric Mouse? Why did these thoughts haunt him?
Captain, we're going down! Peppy? Slippy? No, it was Rob64. No, not him either.
Fox barely felt the pain of Pikachu's attack. He went flying off into the blackness that covered the white light. He headed towards the side. No, he was going a different way. He was on a platform. No, an Arwing!
"Pe-Pe-Peppy?" he muttered, not hearing the snickering from inside. The Arwing was smaller, just like the Great Fox. Fox could see into the cockpit.
In it sat what Fox thought was a shattered image of Peppy. No, not shattered, just...just...like the Purple men! Only he was blue. Not the blue he thought of. That was Falco. No, someone that had his name. Samus and the Blue would fight. Samus and Fox would fight Blue together. That was it.
The Blue Peppy snickered and fired at Pikachu. He was helping Fox! Fox would have smiled, but he was paralyzed by the electricity. Why was he paralyzed? He thought he wouldn't be affect by these elements. Something was wrong with what the Purple man said.
Another Arwing came over and shot at Fox. He didn't feel it, just saw what he thought was Slippy. He flew off the Arwing and fell onto the Great Fox.
A third Arwing came over with a blue, well, a darker blue, Falco.
Falco. That was the voice. Captain, we're going down? What was that from? When? Later was his answer, later.
A minute passed and the Pikachu was smoldering with smoke. The Pokémon was exhausted from the assault and was lying down on the dorsal wing. The three pilots were tired of him and were now focusing on Fox. They surrounded him and prepared to shoot their lasers. Fox was paralyzed, but he had to do something. They laughed. Laughed at his handicap. Foul play! He was angry, but he couldn't do anything.
He then realized something. He had broken the dorsal wing of Great Fox. Could he break the smaller Arwings just as easy? No, he was paralyzed. But why was he? Because they made him paralyzed. Fire fox? It would just propel him out of the way. They'd shoot him when he stopped. Or while he was still moving. Had to do something. Their snickering continued as they pressed the button to fire. Fox wasn't there when the lasers struck the Great Fox. He was using Fire Fox to blast right through Slippy's Arwing. It shattered and so did Slippy. Peppy zoomed in and fire the laser. Fox ignored the pain and did a side kick right through the windshield and through Peppy. The Arwing exploded, sending Fox flying back into what was left of the dorsal wing. Pikachu wasn't too far from him and his paralysis was gone. Falco was heading right for him, so he did the only thing he could do. He jumped at the Arwing and fired two shots. One hit the left wing, blowing it up. The other shot right through the windshield and hit Falco. The Arwing went through the hole made by Fox and crashed onto the engine. Fox landed beside Pikachu, who tried to fight, but was grabbed by him. Fox then flung Pikachu at the Arwing.
Falco was trying to get out when Pikachu struck the Arwing. It exploded, killing the fake bird. Pikachu was sent flying into the darkness that covered the light, screaming. He hit the wall and stuck. A grayish film started to cover Pikachu, pulling him in. When he was all the way in, he exploded. Fox was tattered and torn, but he had made it. Why had his paralysis suddenly stop, though? Was it a plot to catch us off guard? What plot? To defeat the big hero. Who? Samus? Mario? Kirby? Himself? All of them?
There was an explosion where the three Arwings had blown up the neck of the Great Fox.
Fox looked at the Great Fox slowly head towards darkness. Fox thought he was going down with it, but he was suddenly in darkness. He looked at the rectangle of light close to him. It had to be Samus or Mario that the evil creature wanted. Fox stepped out into the light and felt worse than during the match with Pikachu.
Kirby came out of the room, just like Pikachu thought he would. It was a good sign that all his dreams were coming true. He hated the fact he was going to be put out of commission like the others.
