Chapter 5: Never believe in Never



As the Arwings flew into the outer rim of Dinosaur Planet, Peppy stared at the ships, then looked up. Suddenly he gasped. "Oh, NO! Fox, do you read me?", he asked Fox in a desperate tone. Fox was startled by Peppy's voice, which sounded pretty desperate. "Fox here. What's wrong?", he asked. "Listen carefully! Some sort of airship is coming at you! They're firing at you; maybe those are the Fraternity's aircrafts! Be careful, because I don't think-" Suddenly, there was static, and Fox knew what happened: They lost contact. "Peppy? PEPPY!", Fox asked loud, trying to contact Peppy, but it was useless. "Darn it! I lost him!", he yelled.

"Fox! What happened? I lost contact with your Great Fox!", she said.

"So did I! This isn't good!", Falco answered, getting nervous. "Guys, I know! Something's wrong! I'm trying to tap into the signal!", Fox yelled.

All of a sudden, Fox's radio beeped, and he immediately got it and answered. "This is Fox! Peppy, are you there?", Fox asked, desperate. "Your friends are safe.", a voice replied into the radio. "You are not Peppy. Who are you? And where are my friends?", Fox asked, angry. "So, this is the great Fox Mc. Cloud. Well, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mariah. Just hear me out. If you refuse-" "WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS?!", Fox yelled at the radio, making her scoff. "As expected. Parawingers, open fire!", she ordered. Two crimson airships, decorated with gold wings and brown laser cannons went up behind Falco, and started to open fire. Fox went to cover Falco, but then, another Parawinger ran behind him, and started to open fire on him. Fox had no choice but to fly away and shake the winger off.

"ACK! What in the heck?" Falco tried to dodge the fire, but was being constantly hit, and eventually, his engine started to fail. "FALCO! Are you alright?", he asked, but Falco was barely able to answer. "I'm okay...", Falco answered groggily, but then, his Arwing started to go up in flames. "All systems critical. Arwing condition: Critical.", Falco's Arwing's main computer announced. "Oh no! Okay, we'll listen!", Fox yelled, but then she laughed to his dismay. "It's too late. You should have listened the first time I asked. This is the price you must pay.", Mariah answered.

"No, please! Stop this nonsense! We'll listen to what you have to say! But just stop firing on Falco!", Krystal begged. Mariah gasped upon the mention of Falco. "So... Falco's his name, hmm?", Mariah asked. Then, she scoffed. "DESTROY HIM!"

In no time, the airships delivered their final blow, and Falco's Arwing started to slowly fall down onto the nearby Dinosaur Planet. Falco let out a long scream. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHH! I HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ESPECIALLY WHEN FOX'S AROUND!", he shouted. Fox looked at the Arwing, and gasped in horror as the ship went up in flames. "FOX! WHILE I CAN STILL LIVE, DON'T LET HER GET TO YOU! DO WHAT SHE SAYS, BUT DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID! AND DON'T YOU DARE WORRY ABOUT ME! I WILL BE FINE! I ALWAYS AM! AND HEY, AM I SOUNDING TOO STUPID?", Falco screamed as the Arwing fell to Dinosaur Planet. "Falco! DON'T WORRY! I'LL GET YOU BACK! IF IT'S THE LAST THING I EVER DO!", Fox replied with a shout as he stared at the ship breaking the planet's atmosphere.

Mariah was simply laughing hard. "So, do you like it now? Take this as a lesson: Always listen to Mariah! Ha ha ha!", she said laughing. Fox growled the hardest he had ever growled in his life. He slowly put the communicator near his mouth, tears running down his face, hands trembling. "What... Do you ...want?", Fox clearly asked. At the question, Krystal's staff started to shimmer. She gasped. "What?", she asked herself. "So you finally caught on. About time. First, come back to the Great Fox. And don't try anything stupid, or else your pitiful friends here will have an early demise.", she threatened. Fox growled again. "Anything happens to them, and I won't rest until I see the day that you all die.", he replied. "How can you do that when you don't even know me?", she asked, knowing that was the drawback on Fox's question. Fox gave out a small laugh. "Ah, but I will soon enough.", he threatened.

Krystal gasped. "Has Fox lost it? Or is he... Playing with her? What's going on?", she asked to herself. She wasn't exactly aware of what was going on. But she was now afraid even more than before. While flying her ship, she had no other option but to pray for things to go over nicely.

And so, the Arwing that was now alone, followed by Krystal's ship, returned to the Great Fox. The ships landed into the main hangar. Fox climbed out, as did Krystal. Fox turned his sight to a wall, and he clenched his fist. He smacked at the wall with a punch bursting with anger. "WHY?! Why must this happen? Useless fighting... Useless!", Fox said in a sad tone. Krystal walked up behind him. "Fox... I... ", she started, but had no words to tell him. "Please... Leave me alone...", he pleaded her, who retreated back a few steps.

Suddenly, two cloaked persons appeared in the room. "So, young one. You have finally made it!", one of them said, and the other nodded in agreement. "And I thought the great Star Fox was better than now. My rival's a shameful fool."

"What?", Fox asked. He gasped. He knew that voice. "Wait! You're... Him!", he signaled. "That's right, Fox! It's me!", the cloaked person. He took off his cloak, revealing a wolf with a black over his right eye, a brown jacket with a black shirt under it, black pants and metal boots. "WOLF!", Fox yelled, amazed. "Surprised to see me? Well... Right after our defeat at Venom years ago, I barely survived the crash. But I couldn't move an inch. Then I found this person here. She helped me for four years." Wolf turned to Mariah.

"Goodness gracious! Four years! And you survived?", Krystal asked full of shock. "Yes. So, may you come with us?", he asked. Fox was about to have an outrage. "You had better not harmed ANY of my teammates!", Fox warned. "Aww, same old Mc. Cloud. I thought you had improved over your original self...", Wolf admitted. "Just follow us and keep quiet. We don't want any early altercations, do we?", Mariah asked mockingly. Fox turned down, but Krystal approached him. "Fox. You know we have no choice.", she softly whispered. He nodded, and decided to follow them. Later, they were in the cockpit, where many Fraternity soldiers were watching. Mariah went to Fox's seat, and sat down. She turned to Fox. "Fox, I would like you meet our best soldiers...", she announced. "We are starting off with...", she started, then motioned for a cloaked person in the room to take off his cloak. Fox gasped. "Bill. That's his name, correct?", Mariah said, then scoffed. Fox continued to look at Bill, who had his pupils dilated, ears twitched, and a black cloak. Fox ran over to Bill, and started to shake him. "Bill! What are you thinking?", he asked, trying to bring the old Bill back. As a reply, Bill just kicked him hard in the stomach, grabbed him by the neck, and threw him to the floor, landing beside Krystal.

"He won't listen. He's working for us against his will. But he doesn't know.", Wolf pointed out. Fox slowly got up. "What did you do to him?", he asked in pain. "Mind your own business!", Wolf replied, then turned to Slippy and Peppy. "Two new additions are the frog and the hare. Like it?", Wolf asked Fox, who got up, but was held by Krystal. "NO!", he yelled back. Wolf took out a tranquilizer gun in a swift move, and shot Krystal. She gasped as the dart hit her shoulder. She collapsed, and went to sleep. Fox couldn't take it anymore. "I'll make you pay!", he yelled, and ran for Wolf. But the instant he raised his hand, Bill held him. Fox struggled to get free, but it was useless. "You're next...", Wolf said as he started to laugh. He approached ox with a crown, and started to put it on his head.

Suddenly, a shadow his Wolf on the face. "You won't take him alive!" The voice belonged to none other than Katt. "What?! You were under OUR control!", Mariah yelled, getting angry. "Not anymore, you stupid excuse for a bird!", Bill yelled as he threw Fox beside Krystal on the floor. Fox looked at Bill, who smiled. "Fox! Get out of here! Take her with you!", he yelled as Fox got up and took Krystal in his arms. "What's going on?! I thought-"

"We'll explain later! Take her to Dinosaur Planet! Stop the operations there! We'll follow you later!", Katt ordered, and Fox was forced to obey. He nodded, and ran towards the door. "GET THEM!", Wolf and Mariah ordered in unison. Fox was suddenly running amongst elevators, hallways and rooms, avoiding all enemies he found. He eventually got into the Hangar. "My Arwing!" Fox ran to it, and turned it on. With Krystal in his arms, he blasted off to space.

Meanwhile...

Falco woke up with a jump. He looked around his surroundings, unsure about what to do. "Oh, you're awake!", a voice yelled in Falco's ear. He jumped, and turned to the voice. "Hey, watch it with the tone!", he warned, but was then startled to see that this dinosaur had the insignia of Star Fox. "Where did you get that?", Falco asked. "The hero of Dinosaur Planet, Fox, gave it to me!", the dinosaur answered quite politely. "Then you must be... Wait! You were supposed to be captured!" "That's right! But I escaped! My name is Prince Tricky of the Earthwalker tribe!", Tricky explained. "Then, I made it to the planet after all.", Falco said with a sigh. "What happened? Your ship fell down and you landed outside. When I went with Dad to check it out, you were lying on the floor.", Tricky told Falco, who gasped at the explanation. He slowly got up, and went outside to check his wreckage. "Aw, MAN!", were the only words that came out. The Arwing now 'rested in peace', as fire came out of the place. He looked around his surroundings. A beautiful landscape, covered with trees, and at the very center, a large building stood strong in the place. It was almost shaped like a pyramid. "Where... Am I?", Falco asked himself, totally unsure about his location.



"You are now standing in Walled City."



Falco turned around, surprised to find another Earthwalker dinosaur, but this one had a crown. "This is my Dad, the Earthwalker King!", Tricky introduced.



"Welcome, young one, into the Walled City. So, those whatcha-ma-call-them-cloaked-people attacked you as well.", the king asked Falco, beak dropped down. "Um, I... Guess you could say that.", Falco said, stammering. "No need to be afraid. My people mean no harm.", the king replied. Falco turned around, and looked down. He took off his glasses, which he inadvertently were wearing, and looked up. "...You know that young woman with a cloak, who always bosses around?", he asked the King, who gasped. "Yes! She's the one who turned my people into slaves!", the king replied back.



"Do you know her?", Tricky asked, nervous. Falco turned and faced them. "She is my missing sister."
