Chapter 13: Requiem To Family
"Now, back to business. Fox, we need you.", James told Fox as his face changed into a skeptical one.
"What is it?", Fox asked, now REALLY confused.
"Well, it's...", James was cut off. He did not know how to finish the sentence. "It's about..." Again, he was left with no words. "Him..."
"Who is this 'Him'? Is he a new bad guy?", Falco asked as he clenched his fists tight.
"Uhh... No", James replied, disappointed.
"Is he a mercenary who wants to join the team?", Fox asked, skeptical.
"No.", James replied.
Is he a guy I could go for?", Katt asked.
Falco made a face. "HEY!", Falco shouted at her.
"I was just joking! I'm sorry!, she replied. "By the way, James, is he a guy I could go out with?" Falco made another face.
"No!", James shot back, now getting mad. "Is he a bad guy I could hit with my staff?", Krystal asked.
"NO!", James replied angrily.
"Is he a dinosaur?", Tricky asked, smiling and running around. Everyone looked at him as all sound was dead. "Heh, heh... Sorry. Is he a bad dinosaur?",
Tricky asked as he approached the group. "
No, stop!", James shouted, now steaming. Is he a girl I could go for who is using a fake identity?", Bill asked from the sidelines.
"You're sick!", Krystal yelled as Bill made a skeptical face.
"Excuse me? That's known commonly as finding a girlfriend!", Bill replied to Krystal, who made an even more skeptical face. "Um... That means finding a mate in Cerinian terms.", Bill said as everyone made a simple face.
There was silence for about three seconds. Suddenly, everyone started to ask James questions and questions. He had to crouch and cover his ears in desperation, until he had it. "AH! STOP, DESIST! SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU!", James screamed as everyone stepped back.
They were silenced. But Fox was even more silent, he didn't breathe. He only wheezed a little. "...It's about Scales.", he started.
What?! What is it about that mad... Ugh! Scaly that you want us to save?! This is most certainly not fair!", Krystal yelled, everyone agreeing with nods and claps.
"HOLD IT!", Bill yelled as he simply approached Krystal. "Listen, sweetie! Didn't you hear him?! Scales was never a bad guy! So why not at least listen to what James has to say? You're not giving him a chance, so be polite!", Bill told her as she only growled angrily.
"Huh. So you want me to listen to him about Scales? Fine, but I'll consider it carefully first. Otherwise, after his explanation, do not mention his name to me again. Understood?", Krystal said as she simply retreated to a lonely place, all eyes locked on her.
She obviously has a lot on her mind, Fox thought as Falco simply stood behind him. "Hey man, what are you doing? Talk to her!", Falco whispered to Fox as he turned to him.I can't. And I shouldn't. She has a lot on her mind, I think." Fox gave it some thought, and saw Falco was right. "Aw, what the hey? All right, I'll talk to her.", Fox finally decided.
"That's our leader! And, who knows, you might even...", Falco whispered, but stopped. He knew what he wanted to say was certainly not appropriate.
"Don't... Say it.", Fox replied, knowing what Falco meant to say: Should Fox talk to her, maybe she would fall in love with him? But that wasn't his style. He would never disrespect her. Fox slowly walked towards Krystal.
"You alright?", he asked her. She turned to him. He gasped.
"It's not fair! Those dinosaurs suffered and many others were almost killed because of him! It's just isn't fair...", she said sobbing as she just dropped herself onto Fox. He knew her pain all too well. It was the same. The same as in his dreams. The pain he felt. As her tears came out of her shining marine blue eyes, they embraced each other in a sad moment. As Fox caressed the back of her head with his right hand, he wondered if Scales was never evil at all. He also wondered...
Could this be Andross' return? He defeated him, so there was no way that Andross was alive. It just couldn't be; It was impossible. "I...I need a moment alone for a while.", Krystal said as she stepped on her transporter and went down. Fox looked at her, and knew what to do. Krystal was so emotionally crushed, she needed support. "
"I'm going after her. I can't leave her like this.", Fox announced as he stepped on his own transporter and went down. He ran outside, right where he found her. She was staring at the world of colors surrounding her. "Krystal?", Fox asked her as she turned to him.
"...You didn't have to follow me down here.", she replied, showing a forceful smile.
"I had to. You don't look so good.", Fox shot back as she walked to his side.
"I know. You're worried about me. I understand.", Krystal said as she walked to Fox's side. They sat down in the floor, and stared at the rainbow-dyed atmosphere. "Um, I apologize for my behavior before. It's just that... I just don't think it's fair. But if he was always good, then I'll do it. What do I have to waste for it?", Krystal asked him as he looked at the sky, clouds covered in the seven colors of the rainbow.
"...Nothing. You do what you have to do. Nothing is a waste, even if it takes a turn for the worse.", Fox replied as she chuckled.
"Huh. You're... Strange. At first glance, you look like one of those... Mercenaries, if I may call you that way, that doesn't care for anything, just money. But, deep inside, you're like any other person. No offense, but you even had a stupid look on your face the minute I took my staff from you back at Dinosaur Planet!", she replied with a smile as she let out a giggle.
"None taken, but it's just embarrassing for me to receive such words from a lady. And, to be honest... You are the first.", Fox told her as she looked at his bluish eyes.
"Really?", she asked him, getting just a little bit closer.
"I... Think so." They got just closer, and she kissed him on his snout. Fox returned it, and they were kissing each other passionately for about a mere ten seconds. They stopped afterwards.
"...Whew. Good thing Falco's not around!", Fox was able to remark. "Otherwise, he could have made me a very angry fox!" They winded up laughing together.
"Fox and Krystal walked into their own transporters and were elevated back up, where the others were waiting for them.
"So, how are you feeling?", James asked the two of them.
"I'm OK now! So, um, what is it you wanted to tell us about Scales?", Krystal asked the ex-leader of Star Fox, who simply cocked his head and gave a deep breath.
"Well, about him, you have to try to... No, you MUST get the real Scales back. I know there's a way, but we must find it. That is why YOU, Krystal, must aid us, James decided as Krystal's look changed into a serious one.
"In which way do you need my assistance?", Krystal asked him.
James turned and started to walk away. "I was just getting to that. Wait here, I'll be back.", he told her. Around four minutes later, he returned carrying what looked like a giant panel on his head. Everyone gasped in awe and amazement as he set the panel on the floor. "Arg, this is it! The Legend... It's here!", James remarked as everyone gathered around him, but Fox got in the way.
"Come on, people! Give the old man some air, come on now, nothing to see here!", Fox said as James gasped and made an angry face.
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME AN OLD MAN?!", James asked as he stood up.
"I worry about you and this is how you thank me?", Fox replied mockingly. James gave out an exasperated sigh.
"That's not what I meant. Oh yes, the legend, I have to tell you.", he said.
"What about it?", Krystal asked him as James smiled.
"Well, Krystal, it's written in Cerinian, so I need you to translate.", James told her as she nodded.
"I can do that. Let me take a look." When Krystal looked at it, she gasped.
"What? What is it?!", Fox demanded as Krystal read the stone tablet. Krystal sighed, and turned to Fox.
"On Darkness Eve,
nine heroes come.
With the strength of a thousand men,
the love of male and female,
and the will of many,
the door to the golden era will open,
evil will fall,
and good will shall balance the new world."
"...That's what it says.", Krystal said.
"Is it some sort of story?", Fox asked her.
"Yes. One I was told a long time ago on Cerinia... I never thought it might be here...", Krystal said. Suddenly, James gasped.
"What's wrong Dad?", Fox asked him as James turned to him.
"The two remaining people we need are here. They're coming near, they must be near the cave. Fox, find them and bring them here. You go with Falco, the others should stay. Bill, try and come here.", James ordered as everyone nodded. Fox and Falco left. Krystal stared at them.
"Please come back alive...", she muttered under her breath.
Falco and Fox were returned outside, they looked around. "No sign of those people... We better look around.", Falco warned as Fox looked at the place.
"Hey, look!", Fox said as he pointed to what looked like a small camp with some soldiers in white coats. "I bet that must be a Fraternity base. Those freaks!", he remarked. "Hmm... Let's try to sneak in.", Fox said as Falco nodded and ran inside, leaving Fox behind. "And then, there was one...", Fox remarked as he followed Falco.
They made it to the entrance and hid behind a small rock. "Looks dangerous. Stay alert.", Fox ordered when an alarm started to beep in the place.
"Hey YOU!", a voice shouted at them from behind. Fox and Falco turned and saw a tall, muscular boar behind them, shed in armor. They exchanged glances.
"RUN FOR YOUR HIDE!!!", they both screamed as they turned and ran for their lives. The soldier started to follow them as Fox and Falco ran for it.
"Any ideas, Your Majesty?!", Falco asked panting as he knocked some barrels and hit some soldiers following them.
"NO! NO TIME FOR THINKING, SO SHUT UP AND RUN!!!", Fox said as he took out his blaster and fired at some boxes, making them fall and hit more guards.
Falco looked forward and saw what seemed to be a corner with an entrance... Leading outside. "FOX! Look there, that's the exit!", he shouted to his leader.
"Finally, let's take it and get out of here!", Fox ordered.
"You finally listen to me? Ironic, because you never listen to me!", Falco replied as Fox looked at him sternly.
"What do you mean?! YOU are the one who never listens!!!", Fox replied as they got to the corner. Suddenly...
"OW!" The mercenaries collided with what seemed to be two people: A wolf with a red shirt, black pants and an eye-patch on his right eye, and a young avian bird with a blue shirt, yellow pants and gray bird boots.
"WOLF!!!"
"FOX!!!"
"Sis?!"
"Big brother?!"
