Chapter 3
The Day We Sail
That night, Peppy was in his office, sitting at his desk, and filling out paper work, his
room consisted of a large bed, the desk he was sitting at-with a thousands of papers scattered
everywhere-, and a wall full of pictures of the orphans. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Peppy looked up in surprise. "Come in," he said putting his pen down.
The door opened slowely and Fox stepped in. "Ah...Fox." said Peppy. "What brings you here,
lad?"
Fox sat on one of the chairs in front of Peppy's desk. "Well," said Fox, "c-can I ask you
a question?"
Peppy blinked his eyes. "Well of course!" said Peppy heartily. "Ask me anything you want."
Fox smiled. "I was wondering," Fox started, "have you explored any other places besides
Zeus' Islands?"
Peppy grinned. "Oh...you bet!" said Peppy. "I've been almost everywhere."
"Really?" said Fox excitedly. "What cool places did you see?"
Peppy sat up and scratched his head. "Let's see...." said Peppy. "Where did I go?"
Peppy was still young, but it has been a while since his adventures of being a pilot. Peppy,
from what he says, was one of the greatest pilots of the Sky Hunter Police, a mercinary unit of
justice and for the capture of criminals at large. He retired after one of his commrades had
been killed in combat. "Oh, yes!" said Peppy. "I remember. There was one place that was surrounded
by large brown metal walls. I believe it was called 'Second Miltia.' Anyway, I met a lovely girl
named Shion Uzuki and a man named Allen Ridely. They looked like a perfect match. Last I saw of
them, they were busy making a combat android by the name of 'KOS-MOS.'"
"'KOS-MOS'?" said Fox.
"Yes," said Peppy, "I never got to see it though. Let's see. And then there was another
place that had large walls. It was....What was it?"
There was a moment of silence. "Ah...yes!" said Peppy. "It was called 'Redwall Abbey.' They
don't really believe in technology nowadys, but they have a very powerful warrior there named
Martin the Warrior. Nice man indeed.
"I can't remember all of them right now. Why do you ask?"
"I was wondering how the whole world was like," said Fox, "I want to explore it all someday!"
Peppy chuckled. "I know you will," said Peppy.
Fox got up from his seat and started for the door. "Good night, Peppy." said Fox tiredly.
"Good night, Fox." said Peppy.
Fox woke up fast as soon as he heard the ocean waves and saw the rays of the sun. He got
up, got dressed, and got his things together ready for the sail. He walked out of the orphanage
house silently not trying to wake up Krystal who was in the room next to his. He got out to the
beach and saw Bill and Wolf standing there looking at the orphange for the last time. "Ready?"
asked Fox.
Both Bill and Wolf nodded. They ran out through the island wilds again going to Kilika Port.
They ran toward the docks where they saw a large boat and Falco sitting by it. The three boys ran
to the docks and saw Falco, yet again, sleeping. "Just tap his shoulder this time, Fox," said
Bill.
Fox nodded and obeyed by tapping Falco's shoulder lightly. Falco opened his eyes open.
"At least you didn't yell to wake me up!" said Falco.
Fox and Bill chuckled and immediately stopped. "Are we ready?" said Falco getting onboard
the small raft.
"Yep!" said Wolf. "All ready!"
The raft was wide, had a large sail with rope stringing down from it, and had empty chests
on each side of the raft next to a matress. "You worked on this over night?" asked Fox in high
curiosity.
"I already had the floor part done with," said Falco, "I just needed to find the chests and
a long rod for the sail."
After a few minutes, they were finished packing. "Okay," said Falco, "let's get outta here!
But just at that moment, Fox had heard someone call his name. "FOX!" yelled the voice.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"
Fox imediately recognized the voice. It was Krystal! "Hurry!" yelled Fox to Falco. "Let's
get outta here, NOW!"
"Okay, okay!" said Falco untying the rope that held the ship.
Krystal was now visible on the top of the town entrance hill. Behind her, was the tall figure
of Peppy. "Oh no," said Bill, "Peppy's with her!"
"Crap!" said Fox.
"Hurry up Falco!" said Wolf.
Falco had just untied the rope and ran toward a large oar. He dipped the oar into the
water and started to row faster and faster. Now they were off shore. Peppy and Krystal had just
gotten to the end of the docks. "COME BACK HERE, BOYS!" yelled Peppy in despair.
"I'm sorry Peppy," yelled Fox, "but I wanna travel the world! I'll come back! I promise!"
The boys kept looking back at the island until they saw no more and floated in the middle
of the large ocean.
Falco was just sleeping on his bed in the heating, afternoon sun. Fox and Bill were just
playing a card game. Wolf, on the other hand, was looking nervous. He kept looking out to the
sea wearing a serious expression. Finally, Bill looked over at him and said, "You wanna play a
card game with us?"
Wolf turned his head slowly and shaked his head. Bill shrugged. "Alright," he said, "but
what's the matter with you?"
"Are you sea sick?" asked Fox.
Wolf, again, shook his head. Bill and Fox looked at each other confused. Then they resumed
their card game. After about fifteen minutes, Bill and Wolf -still playing their card game- started
to get bored. Fox threw down a card with a snake picture on it labeled: Python Trap. Fox sighed.
"All cards are destroyed...." Fox said in a frustrated way.
Bill acted the same way too. "Great...." he said in the same frustrated manner.
Fox and Bill looked at each other and looked at their cards. "Let's just forget it!" said
Fox.
Bill nodded in agreement and they put all their cards back in their chests. "Watch out!"
yelled Wolf.
Suddenly, something had just sprouted out of the water and soaking the whole ship and the
crew.
"Wh-wh-what is that?" yelled Falco in fear.
A large, snake-like creature with light blue scales and yellow beeding eyes was there as
water was dripping down from its mouth. The creature was slightly bigger than the ship. It set
its eyes upon Falco. "Oh my God!" yelled Falco as he shaked to the edged of the boat now soaked
in his own water.
The creature opened his mouth and lunged to Falco. "AAAHHH!" yelled Falco in tears.
Then, a blinding light flashed and a loud clanging noise was heard. As soon as Falco opened
his eyes and saw a strange sight. Wolf was standing there, holding off the large sea serpent. In
his hands was a long sparking spear with a large blade and a green crystal at the other end. "You
...stupid...WATER HYDRA!" yelled Wolf trying to hold back the beast more stronger with the spear.
The Hydra finally went backward and dived back under the water. Fox, Bill, and Falco looked
at Wolf confused. Wolf was just standing there letting the wind blow to his face as he kept looking
at the ocean depts. "THERE!" yelled Wolf readying his spear.
The beast roared as it came out of the ocean and looked at the ship. Fox, Bill, and Falco
screamed as they looked at the Hydra. Wolf jumped up on the ship's sail and stood at the top and
stared at the Hydra. "Go away!" yelled Wolf.
He jumped up and landed on the back of the beast. Without hesitation, he jabbed the spear
into the back of the monster. As green blood spilled out into the ocean, not only did the monster
scream but the crystal on Wolf's spear was glowing. "A Geist?" said Wolf in astonishment. "Why
here?"
The monster screamed its last breath and fell on top of the ship. The ship collapsed as the
boys screamed when they went under. Fox last saw some green blood, the ship wreckage, his friends
going down with him, and the afternoon sun blazing on the surface.
