TWO HEROES COLLIDE LAST EPISODE, LYLAT-TERRA WARS
With the death of Bark Arfie and Slippy Toad, many people of Colonium were saved. Such sacrifices must be made to save someone. However, does this mean there should be blood shedding in order to stop the war?
-Chapter Thirteen- "Feathers"
Star Fox, with only Fox and Falco remaining in the team, returned back to Lylat. After Slippy left the group, Fox felt a heavy punch into his heart. He thinks that he's a no-good leader, plus the jealousy he felt for Wulf. However, he has no idea that Slippy sacrificed his life along with Bark to save Colonium.
"You know, I'm really going to miss Slipster…" Falco said as he leaned back to his seat. "It's really quite boring without his annoying voice and fragile build!"
"Falco," Fox replied in a low tone, "you won't leave me alone, will you?"
The avian wondered about the vulpine's words. "Of course I won't! I have no job waiting for me so I have no choice! Besides, it's fun when we're only two…"
Before Fox could reply from Falco, a message interrupted him. He checked his monitor to figure it out. To his surprise, he just saw a blurry image of a person with a somewhat awkward voice. It was asking for help.
"Star… Fox… S-O…S! Ea… Eagle… ripping… Zoness! Back… up needed!"
The message suddenly got cut-off, giving a blank idea for the two.
"The strange voice was sending an SOS!" Falco spoke out. "What are we going to do?"
"The two words are the only thing familiar to me…" Fox murmured. "Eagle and Zoness! He's causing trouble to that planet!"
"But didn't we just met him earlier?"
"He has the ultimate power to destroy cities, remember?" [See THC: Episode 6, An Avian's Word]
"So you're saying that Garuda possessed Eagle again?" Falco gasped.
"I don't know," Fox grinned, "but I don't care! Once we see him, we'll finish him off, and we got reasons for killing him!"
"But…"
"Which one do you wish to spare, Falco," Fox shouted, "our system and its inhabitants or your friend Eagle?"
Falco didn't say a word. He just looked at Fox who was ready to boost onwards to Zoness.
"Well, what are you waiting for, Falco?" Fox ordered. "Let's go there!"
Even though he followed Fox, he believes that they will need someone who knows more about the ancient evils of Terra. The only person he can think of is… Tatanuk.
However, somewhere in Zoness…
"The fools fell from the trap. Now listen, Lord Omega will be very pleased if you just follow what he ordered you." Omega's minion commanded. "So, as I told you, annihilate Galaxy Wulf an the remaining Star Fox! They're easy as catching a fly if you use your best effort, Shadow of Eagle!"
"Humph! My best effort?" Shadow of Eagle, as what the minion refers to, boasted, "I ca finish them off without having to use fifty percent of my whole strength!" The Eagle clone, only with black feathers instead of brown, then flew to the sky out from the building. He stood on top of a tower, looking down at the city. "This place shall fear X-Eagle! This place is going to be mine!"
Meanwhile, at the tall tree-buildings of planet Willow, Terra System, a green avian was running out and up from the most top of the trees. Trying to avoid hierarchical peeves, she tends to swing away to her hidden hangar just near her hallow.
"Princess!" a red dragon wearing a long loincloth and his body covered with symbols, a symbol for a dragoon knight, shouted. "I don't wish to disturb you, your majesty, but the Queen is looking for you! Please, show yourself!"
"Tell her I'm busy!" a voice shouted from the vine-covered room. "I don't want to be bothered!"
"But your majesty!"
"Dragoon, let me handle this." a stern voice commanded. "You may return to her majesty and tell her that I'll be making her go back."
The dragoon faced back, saluting, "Yes sir!" He then flew off to report.
Gen. Talon then smiled, "It's all right now, Areith! Can I come in?"
A door then opened for the middle-aged hawk. Vines moved like they were curtains that showed an entrance. He entered the room with Tatanuk holding a talisman that opened and sealed the door to her hidden room.
"So what's it this time, Areith? Has your mom said anything to you that made you furious?" Talon smiled.
"Oh nothing," she answered back while casting a sealing spell. "Harsh whips of Mother Gaia, seal the pathways of destruction. Close Portal."
Suddenly, Tatanuk's fighter, which was also hidden at the room, alarmed. She immediately opened it. To her surprise, it was Falco Lombardi.
"Mr. Lombardi! It's been a long time!" she greeted.
"Yeah, how's it hanging?" Falco replied, only to find out that he called because he was going to say something important. "Oh, I almost forgot! Eagle's gone berserk again!"
"What?! Garuda?!" she gasped.
"I don't know, but smells like one! We have no idea how to stop him!"
"All right! I'll be going there!"
"We're in Zoness! I'll put the coordinates there just in case you got lost, okay?!"
"Roger! I'll be getting there as soon as possible!"
She then pushed a button and got herself seated on the fighter. Gen. Talon asked something before he allows the princess to go, though.
"Well, I believe this is important, yes?" he asked. "But I still wonder, what's bothering you these recent days?"
"Mother." She replied back firmly. "She's been treating me with too much responsibility over my royal heritage! Sometimes, I wish that I wasn't a princess… I'd rather be out in the air, dog-fighting Volgar's air troops and doing martial arts like Lupina…"
"I understand…" Talon sighed. "I guess your mother is just worrying about a successor of the throne and of the Keepers… Oh yeah, better gear up, okay Areith?"
"Sure thing uncle…" she smiled.
The general pulled a lever that opened an airway for the fighter. Tatanuk flies up to the sky, following Falco's coordinates.
Meanwhile, her mother saw a jet flying through the skies. It gave her an idea that Tatanuk left again. "Oh daughter…" she thought. "I just wish you just know what you are doing…"
Back at TERRA Squad HQ, Galaxy Wulf condoled for their lost friends. Having Bark and Slippy out of the picture won't only mean that they won't have anybody to build new gadgets, but also that they will miss two humorous yet trustworthy pals.
"Bark…" Wulf whispered to himself as he let's the wind take the flowers he's holding. "I'll miss you pal…"
"I hope they go up to heaven…" Vulpin softly spoke out as he lets go of his flowers.
"WHAAAHH!!! DOG-FACE AND FROG-HEAD ARE GONE!!!" Garou cried as Purin patted his head.
Then, Gen. Fox entered to the hangar. "I'm sorry, Galaxy Wulf. I wasn't able to find their bodies…" he condoled.
"It's all right, general." Lupina answered back. "We won't let them fail. We will stop this war."
Eagle, who was quiet and was thinking very solemn, suddenly heard his comm beeping. He walked away, answering it.
"Yes… this is Eagle…"
"Eagle?! Hey, you're all right!" a female voice replied. "I thought you're possessed! Say, what's wrong?"
"We just lost two of our friends… Bark and Slippy…"
"What?! Oh, let me pray for them…"
"S-sure… but why did you call?"
"Someone in Zoness is trying to frame you! You have to come here immediately."
Before he could say a word, Tatanuk logged off. Eagle, filled with fascination to the problem, walked back towards the group.
"Who called?" the general asked.
"We got a problem." Eagle answered. "Somebody in Zoness is trying to destroy my name! I'm really not concerned, but I worry that it might affect the team's reputation or even Terrans."
"Then we'll go…" Wulf replied. "This is the chance we've waiting for. We need to show them that we're still friends with Lylat."
"All right!" Goushin cheered. "Let's hope that Bark's and Slippy's spirits will guide us!"
Suddenly, Wulf blocked him and Vulpin. He nodded, "I don't want you or Vulpin to come along with us!"
"But why?!" Vulpin asked.
"Son, Wulf's right. It's for the best." Gen. Fox explained. "Very well Galaxy Wulf, I wish you luck. If by any chance you could, please save Gen. Lupine."
"Will do sir."
The team prepared to launch out. The hangar opens and readied the Space Den to enter hyperspace. During this time, however, Eagle heard somebody talking to him in his mind.
"Are you sure you can defeat him?"
"Yeah… I can!"
"I sense terrible prowess in that Eagle. Are you sure you can handle him by yourself?"
"Ga-garuda?"
"Let me see if you can face your own self into battle. I wonder if you'll need more power into fighting yourself."
Those words gave Eagle fear. He wonders what Garuda is talking about? However, he has no time for this. He must be ready for somebody who's waiting for him.
What will happen to Eagle? How did Garuda communicated to him and what's his message all about? Who's Shadow of Eagle or X-Eagle? Tune in for more!
