TWO HEROES COLLIDE 9, LYLAT-TERRA WARS
Chapter Nineteen, In Each Other's Shoulder
Eagle sacrificed his life to save the whole planet. In doing so, Fox realized that he was doing the wrong thing. He also felt that he was the one responsible for the bird's death. An hour after Fox's arrival, the teams are in a state of grieve and dilemma.
"Man, it's really getting hot in here," Garou remarked as he wiped his forehead off after lifting four plasma cells and carrying them to Space Den. He then took off his shirt, and then laid himself at the wing, relaxing.
"How could you be so ignorant?!" Lupina howled at Garou. "A teammate and a friend of ours has just passed away, and you just relaxed like nothing happened!"
"But… I sometimes envy him," Tatanuk, who was sitting on the other wing, answered softly. "I couldn't ease the pain that's occurring into me…"
"Hey, don't talk to me like that!" Garou growled. "I miss him! I'll miss his teases about my body. He might tell me today that my nipple ring is rusted and that I should replace it! I just don't want to cry!"
"But you'll soon later," Falco, with wet eyes, firmly answered while putting the cells in Space Den.
Fox, still feeling guilty, looked at Wulf. He was facing at the red sky. He must've felt bad, Fox thought. Two of his team members just died, three if you add Slippy's recent state. However, he didn't scowled at me. Unlike me, Peppy died, yet I accused every Terran of murder. What was I thinking before?!
He gathered himself up, and approached Wulf.
"Can I ask you something?" he slowly asked.
"What?" Wulf answered without looking at Fox.
"Can we talk inside Space… I mean your ship, privately?"
Wulf nodded, but he didn't say a word. He slowly walked inside the ship, followed by Fox. The two then closed the entrance, and made sure no one would get in.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Wulf asked again.
Quickly, Fox punched Wulf's cheek. It knocked Wulf down, with blood drooling from his snout.
"I know you won't hit me hard when I ask you to hurt me," Fox panted, "but I'll have to piss you off if I have to."
Wulf just stared at him, wondering why is he doing this.
Fox delivered another punch at the other cheek. "Come on, punch me for killing your friend!" he yelled.
Wulf understood what Fox wanted to express, yet he feels that it isn't right. He believes that there is another way to resolve this.
"Come on, talk!" the vulpine yelled out loud. He punched Wulf's stomach twice, and kicked his head. Blood gushed out from the wolf's body, but he still stood there, firm and silent.
"Wulf… please!" Fox begged as he kneel on the floor, crying. "Don't torment me! Punch or kick or do whatever you want with me! I've done something very wrong that I feel miserable to myself!"
But the answers he was expecting didn't come out. Wulf stared at him more, just breathing heavily. He waved his head, and didn't agree at his plea.
Fox suddenly got drastic. He pulled a blaster from his belt and pointed it at his temple. "If… if you don't really want to do it… then I'll do it myself!" he growled. "Unless you promise me that you'll beat me up, I'm going to blow myself up."
Wulf then felt that it's time. He slowly approached Fox, who was walking backwards as soon as he noticed Wulf coming towards him.
"D-don't come near me!" Fox shouted. "I'm warning you!" He kept on walking backwards until he reached the wall. He couldn't move anymore, and Wulf was getting closer.
Wulf approached him slowly. He then slowly pulled Fox's blaster out, following it with a hug. Tears fell down from his eyes. Fox suddenly felt something towards his companion.
"Wulf…"
"Fox… We're friends right?"
"But I…"
"Friends never let go of each other, no matter what."
"You can't have me as a friend! I don't deserve your compassion!"
"But why?"
"Peppy died, and I accused every Terran I see with murder. But you, whose teammates sacrificed their lives for humanity's safety, didn't blame any single Lylatian."
"So? I don't care! To tell you the truth, I couldn't handle my friends slowly slipping away, especially if I wasn't able to do anything to save them! I wasn't able to help Bark and Slippy, and I wasn't able to save Eagle because I was attacked!"
"It's not your fault! You were helpless! You couldn't do anything back then!"
"But I…"
Fox then hugged Wulf. He too, went into tears. He was in deep emotion like Wulf. He tries to comfort his friend.
"Do… do you remember the time when we went into the ruins about Krazoa? Do you remember about the time he told us that something will tear us apart, but then we will make it if we remain strong?"
"Yes, and we failed."
"But we can still do it. I'm… I'm really sure I'm sorry about what I did. I can still remember your pain when you thought Rufus was dead, but then came back as your enemy."
"And you and Wolf, you didn't realize you were brothers. I feel sympathy too."
"I'm sorry…"
"I wanted the both of us to remain friends…"
Later after a few hours, the two walked outside from the ship. Everybody stared at the two, who were now placing each other's hand into each other's soldier.
"We were parted," Fox smiled, "but we came back together again."
"All right!" Falco cheered, wiping his tears. "So we're pals again?"
"Yes," Wulf nodded, "and this is also for the friends who sacrificed their lives for the sake of humanity and our friendship. I'm sure they're happy that we're bonded together again."
Lupina's communicator then alarmed. She then answers it, wondering who would communicate with her.
"I wonder who's on the other side," Lupina wondered. To her surprise, it's her father.
Star Fox and Galaxy Wulf, once enemies, now partners again. With their cooperation, they'll be able to stop the war. However, Gen. Lupine called. What would happen next?
