Chapter 4

Fox Mcloud traveled back to the Great Fox. Very pleased with himself for convincing the general to allow him more money. It was quite the clever con. The Great Fox was in perfect condition, Fox just needed the money to help build a headquarters for him, and it would orbit a distant world known as Hyrule. He didn't really know much about the planet, he hadn't even visited it before. He just needed something close enough to Corneria so he could get there in one jump to light-speed. "Computer, set a course for the Hyrulian system, at 145 KpI's. Let's see what this planet is like."

How? After all this time, I'm going to go into battle knowing that I'll die. Maybe I should stay out of it. No, that wouldn't be right. Why me? But something stopped the vast onslaught of thoughts plaguing Link's mind. Something was coming down from sky. It was landing on the horizon, near the Gerudo desert.

"What the hell?" Link asked absently as he urged Epona forward. Maybe this is the thing that's capturing civilians. He thought as he neared the structure. But, as he got closer, he saw a battle occurring. It looked to be between Orca (a Zora, Hylian hybrid) and some kind of fox. "Woah there, easy Epona." He said as Epona reared back. He got down and ran towards the battle seen. The fox was holding his own against Orca, but was slowly being warn down. Orca was showing no signs of waning. Link drew the hero's bow and a knocked a light arrow, preparing to fire.

Just my day. Fox thought to himself as he barely deflected yet another blow from the strange creature. He had just landed when this guy (maybe it was a girl, he didn't really know) attacked him out of no where. It was good, whatever it was. The creature took a quick swing at his leg to try and trip him, but Fox was too busy deflecting the other blade to notice. "Ahh!" he screamed in pain as the blade cut straight into his calf. Fox fell to the ground in pain, now with both blades ready to kill him. This was how it was going to end, killed on an unexplored planet. Well, he thought as the blades started to come down, there are worse ways to die. He closed his eyes. But, nothing happened. Instead, the creature yelped. Whether in triumph or pain, he didn't know. But he knew as soon as his eyes opened, it was of pain. A brilliant light shown all around the creature, trapping him in a cage of, what seemed to be, glowing bars. Then he saw what caused the sudden rescue of Fox's life, a man, in entirely green clothing. His bow was drawn with an arrow pointing directly at Fox. Then he fired. Fox jumped out of the way just before it struck his chest. I've had enough injury today. He pulled out his collapsible staff and shot his own blast of light at the new attacker.

*********

This isn't quite how I'd imagined this'd turn out. Link thought as a quick roll to the left prevented him from excruciating pain. It was time to end this. He put the bow away and drew his sword. Just in time to deflect another powerful blast from the fox. Link charged at his attacker and knocked the staff out of his hand. Then, just as swift, he swiped the legs out from under the fox and pinned him down while pointing the sword at his throat.

"Fine fine I surrender. If you're gonna kill me just do it. It can't be more painful than this." He gestured to the deep slash in his lower calf. This fox speaks? Link took his sword away from the jugular of Fox Mcloud.

"Who are you?" He asked with extreme curiosity.
