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,

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 20
chapters or less!
Sorry for the delay! Classes are back!
Chapter 18, Unspoken Words
The team split up into two groups in order to cover more ground. Ellie and Falco agreed to find Harold and stop his inhuman ambitions. They rushed to from the hangar, heading towards the main deck. While they were running, they are caught up by guards.
"All right," Falco shouted with his blaster while taking cover from the walls, "no more Mr. Nice Birdie! Eat plasma!" He fired a barrage of beams, shooting the soldiers firing beams at them. However, none where hit. He scuffed at the wall quickly again, avoiding being hit.
"Let me take care of them," Ellie said. She faced the soldiers, quickly heaved and stretched her hands. "Ice Wave!" she yelled, shooting out a wave that pushed the soldiers away and knocking them down, turning the floor into ice.
Falco went out from the cover and chuckled. "I never knew you could do that!"
"I wanted to surprise you, Falco!" she smiled back. She then looked around, noticing a large vent. "Let's go there," she pointed, "we'll be able to get to the main deck without any problems."
Falco nodded and pulled the covering away. "Let's hurry!" he remarked. "We don't want any patrols seeing us climbing up here. Now, mademoiselle, you go in first!"
"Merci, monsieur!" Ellie answered back with a smile. She then crawled into the vent, followed by Falco, who closed the flue.
Inside, the two followed the tunnel they are in. Even though they scuttled at the outlet, the space seems to be wide enough. Using the screens that they occasionally pass by, they know where they are heading.
Finally, they reached the main deck. After several minutes of dog walking, they reached the spot. They looked at the grate below them, seeing Harold smoking his cigarette.
"We're here!" Falco spoke out in a low tone. "Let's go down there and surprise him!"
"Wait," Ellie stopped him as he saw the fiend walking as if he was approaching someone. "He's talking to somebody. Let's see what's it all about." The two peered, eavesdropping at the conversation they are hearing.
Three soldiers entered the room. "Sir," one of them, a parrot, reported, "we have been heisted with weapons at the Weaponry. Traitor Scythe, a female wolf who has uncanny ice powers, and a fire using male wolf ambushed us!"
Harold threw away his cigarette to the ashtray, and beckoned the soldier. "Come over here."
The parrot moved forward, and was surprised to be stabbed at the right side of his neck with a syringe. The parrot slowly fell down, falling asleep.
"You two," he ordered the other two soldiers who were along with the bird, kicking the falling body, "strip him off and take him to the Evolution Room. If you don't want to end up like him, then you must know what to do!"
"Y-yes sir!" the two nervously saluted, removing everything from the parrot: the weapons, the jacket, gears, and everything, leaving only his underwear. They then carried him away, leaving the room.
Seeing how ruthless Harold is, Ellie growled, "That madman! He has no concern over his men! They served him and this is what they get!"
Falco whimpered, "I don't get it. He used to be a loving Pops when I was just a kid. Why did he turn into this?! My mom would tear apart after knowing this!"
"You aren't going to tell this to your mother?" Ellie wondered.
"I wish I won't," Falco spoke back lowly, "but that would be unfair, especially to those who deserved justice. I have to tell her…"
Ellie then placed her hand over Falco's. She replied back, "I'll be here… Don't worry…"
"Ellie," Falco softly said back, "you know, I still remember what happened that day when we first met."
"Me too. I was really careless. If you hadn't shown up, I could've…"
"But, if I really didn't come, your team wouldn't be in this situation! Even if I didn't come, you'll be saved by The Glacier! None of this would've happened if I didn't force myself here!"
"But you won't know what your father truly is…"
"Yes… and… and…"
Falco then hugged Ellie tightly, with tears rolling down on his cheeks. "I will never meet you at all, Ellie! You're the first person who got into my heart very deeply! If I didn't crashed at Arctican, we will not know each other!"
Ellie embraced back, also with a compassionate feeling. "To tell you the truth, I also feel the same! I have this already, but I just couldn't say it to you! I… I…"
"I love you!" they both said to each other with full of emotion, in chorus.
The two kissed at each other, this time, at their lips. They fill their hearts with love, and their emotions filled with romance. They finally said their words, which was once inside the deep vast ocean. Now they knew they love each other, and that they will never part.
However, their emotions struck a bad news. The grate they are sitting at couldn't handle their weight anymore. It cranked, creating a distractive noise that stopped the two's love scene.
"What the," Harold jeered from below, wondering what's above.
The grate soon falls, and along with it are Ellie and Falco, with the man covering the lady from harm. As they fell, Falco hugged Ellie tightly with his left hand and glided awkwardly with the right. Because of unbalanced proportions, they fell down, with Falco holding Ellie tightly again. They landed on their feet, but due to the impact, they kneeled for a while.
"Are you all right?" Falco asked the wolf wrapped at his arms.
"I am fine," Ellie answered back, "thanks, Falco."
Harold watched them ironically as he views them from his side of the room. He then applauded, bearing a devilish intent to his son and his companion.
"Very good, Falco! You surely know what woman to choose!" he sinisterly laughed. "Are you done with him? Can I have her now!"
"Fuck you, Harold!" Falco shouted back. "I won't allow your shit to touch her!"
"Really? Is that so?" he mocked. "Well then, let's see what you'll do…"
