Star Fox, its characters, names, etc. all belong to Nintendo. Any stuff that has already had a specific media is not mine! Galaxy Wulf, its characters, trademarks, names, etc. all belong to me. Real Emotion is sung by Koda Kumi and is featured in the Final Fantasy X – 2 intro, in which I don't own!

Notice: This is a PROLOGUE of THC, meaning it happened before the events of Two Heroes Collide. I've taken the first few parts of my story from the official Star Fox manga entitled "Farewell, Beloved Falco" in the Japanese site of Nintendo. Luckily, there's an English version that you can get at [www.arwinglanding.tk]. Oh, I will temporarily stop Two Heroes Collide: Juniors if I am making this. Don't worry! I think this will only take 15 chapters or less!

Anyway, let's begin...


Chapter 8, Real Emotion

"Riaru na sekai ni yureteru kanjyou

maketakunai

Mou tada hashiru shikanai kono mune ni

kikoetekuru

Kimi wa hitori jyanai"

    The feeling of swaying in the real world     I don't want to lose     The only thing I can hear from my heart is     to run.     You are not alone

     The Tri-Wolves Hunters, who are they? What do they have in store for Falco? Why are they chasing him? Is it really for bounty? And who was the one who ordered them to hunt him down? All was just a strange importune for everyone.

     "Wolves, let's get him!" Scythe howled as he points them to charge at Falco, Garou, and Ellie.

     "Heh, you sure you wanted to do so?" Garou grinned. "Okay, I warned you!" He then started breathing ice to the three, losing control as they run and freezing them to the ground.

     "Darn it! What kind of creature are you?!" Seraphy grumbled as she tries to get off the ice. "Is there something wrong with your body or you really just breathe chilly stuff?!"

     Falco faced the three and smiled. He introduced the ice wolves in a teasing manner. "Lylatians, I give you the ice wolves!" he said fashionably. "These new species can survive cold conditions and can control ice! What a great rendezvous, isn't it?!"

     Samson, even with his muscular body, couldn't even break away from the ice cage. He is getting angry. Since he was a man with a few words, he howled and growled because he couldn't get away.

     "Looks like you three will be stuck in there for a while!" Ellie smiled. "We'll be leaving now! Ciao!"

     "Ahh! Don't leave us here!" Scythe shouted but then ended up with a sweatdrop.

     As the three left the scene, Scythe's comm suddenly beeped. Since he couldn't grab it, it automatically answers as a voice message.

     "Wolves, did you him already?"

     "Uh… Well, we umm…"

     "What?! You don't have him?! Fools!"

     "Sir, he is well-protected by these ice wolves he's made friends with!"

     "I don't care how you do it, but tomorrow, make sure your ship is on the way here with Falco's unconscious body!"

     The voice from the comm then stopped talking. Scythe was in for a very bad fit.

     "So O'Donnell, what are you going to do now?" Seraphy asked.

     "Don't call me by that name!" Scythe gruffly mumbled. "We'll just have to wait until the ice is soft enough…"

     Later, inside The Glacier, the three laughed about what happened earlier. Thinking that the Tri-Wolves Hunters were just plain stupid, they didn't realize the possible dangers they will deliver…

     "Look at me, I'm Samson… and I couldn't talk!" Garou laughed out as he flexes himself to make his muscles big like Samson. "But now I'm stuck in an ice prison and I couldn't get out! Even with my beefy body I can't escape!"

     Falco laughed and laughed wholeheartedly. Ellie, doing the regular "Tee hee hee" giggle, patted Garou to stop it.

     Just then, Cold and Anna ran down to the gang's place at the lounge area. The two have some considerable look, preferable because they have something good to say.

     "Guys, guys! Check what Anna just won!" Cold shouted while running.

     "What?" the three asked.

     "I got tickets for the Artic Armada band! Woo hoo!" Anna chuckled while showing the receipts over. "I won it from a contest at the Music Channel."

     "How?" Ellie questioned with curiosity.

     "Simple! You just have to answer a question about them! I called, and I won!"

     "So that Artic Armada is a band?" Falco wondered.

     "Yep, and I got enough tickets for the whole team! The show will be later at Gladiator Coliseum, six p. m.!"

     The gang agreed to go there. Anyway, they had just stopped into Arctican City, so it's best for them to enjoy before they leave.

     It was getting to get dark. The time is five minutes before six (5:55 p.m.) and still, busy vehicles still pass the streets. However, hardcore Artic Armada fans are now rumbling inside the Gladiator Coliseum, waiting for the band to perform. The Northern Wolves got their seats on the best view, near the stage itself.

     "Frigi, don't eat ALL of your popcorn!" Falco warned him. "You won't have left later!"

     "Heh… Don't bother me!" he replied. "Just place your hand to Ellie's shoulder and all will be in a good mood!"

     "What are you saying?!"

     "Guys, will you keep it down?!" Anna shouted. "The show's about to start!"

     Everybody stopped and watched. Anna couldn't control herself. She felt happy to see her idols starting to perform in front of her.

     A smoke filled the stage, with silhouettes of five ladies standing.

     "Are you ready people?!" the lead singer shouted. The crowd anticipated with ease.

     They started to hum as the background music started to play, singing one of their top hits, Real Emotion. (Remember: I don't own Real Emotion and this band didn't sing it! Koda Kumi did! Also, translation is in italicized font!)
