Two Heroes Collide Last Episode, Lylat-Terra Wars
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Preparation
Everything ended up the way they least expected. A general has lost his life for service; and now warriors must face the ultimate name for destruction – Omega. As the heroes chased Omega's finest spy, Luceus Foxwell, They all ended up fainted and knocked out. Who knows what happened in the battle…
"Ugh… What happened to me?" Wulf coughed out as he tries to stand up from the cold table. He looked around noticing that he was the last person to wake up from the sleep. He still feels awkward after being knocked on the head, and his body feels sore. He then looked around, seeing everyone fine. "What happened?"
"You were all fainted when a large matter fired a powerful beam towards our ship," Gen. Pepper explained to him. "A large irregular-shaped substance with tentacles appeared when every one of you just left the room. It then destroyed all of our battleships, both from Lylat and Terra. We are the only ones who survived." Wulf nodded down, feeling a little bit sorry for the casualties that happened. He looked at the large monitor, showing the large dark matter known as Omega.
"We have to do something," Wulf shouted as he jumps from the table, limping, "where's Rufus and Wolf? We need them here right now!" However, his call was just replied with a stir of silence. He then noticed the grim faces of the people around him. He also took notice of Fox's reaction, seeing his eyes moist for while before he turns around. "Did something happen to them? TELL ME!!!"
Pepper took the liberty of telling to Wulf what happened. "You've been fainted for 18 hours, and many an event happen," he replied slowly, not blowing it out to Wulf quickly. "When we went down to pick you four up, we saw Wolf and Rufus fighting Foxwell inside the hangar from the monitor at the entrance. We tried to get in, but the entrance was sealed. We tried to blow it up, but then, Wolf said that it would be better if you four would… The dock then separated from the ship, all with the Pyre, Wolf, and Nebulla Wolf, and as it releases itself from the tail, a beam was fired and…" Before the hound could finish, Wulf told him to stop. Tears were dropping from his eyes, and he understood perfectly what happened. Fox also cried, even though he already heard the story. "Rufus… he wanted to tell you that you should trust your ability when the time comes… He knew that you were a better fighter than him…"
"BUT THAT WON'T BRING HIM BACK!" Wulf yelled out. "He… he was very foolish! Why did he do that!? Doesn't he think that we already believe that he's changed!? He has done so much that it is more than enough for him to prove that he's a good guy! He, his team, and Wolf, are more like heroes!" Tears that dropped from his eyes hit the floor, creating a miniscule puddle of sadness.
Lupina, Fox, and Falco tried to ease him up a bit. They know that they can't cheer him up at the time like this, but they must show him not to lose hope. They wanted to show him that he still got them, and they won't give up or die very easily. They wanted to show him that their friends' death isn't in vain.
"Wulf, we've been friends even up to know, so please don't give up right now," Fox said as he pats Wulf's shoulder. "I know how you feel, I just lost a brother, and I still feel the pain of it. But then, I know I must continue on, and so will you." Falco then hold Wulf's hand, and then Lupina hugged him.
"Don't lose hope, Wulf," she spoke out in a heartwarming manner, "my mother once told me about a legend… There was once this kingdom that was covered in darkness. It almost felt like they would be in the dark for eternity. However, they tried to strive and fought the darkness. Many lives were lost, but then their spirits didn't stopped losing hope. They were able to create a talisman called Fate that reacts upon contact with light. They used their spiritual glow as the light that made the Fate cast a powerful spell, destroying the would-be eternal shadow. Fate also rejuvenated everything that has been destroyed by the darkness. Everything was flourish and happy once more. However, the core didn't dissipate into the space. They all agreed to send it back at space, along with the Fate attached to it. My mom told me that the moral of the story is that no matter how dark it is, never lose hope…" Suddenly, Wulf was aroused to the comment.
"…or maybe your mother didn't tell you just a legend… she told you a fact!" Wulf reacted with an enlightening image. "That darkness you're referring to must be Omega, and there's a possibility that Fate is in that large dark matter!"
"Even if it is, how can we generate sufficient light?" Peppy asked but not trying to lower everyone's faith. "Even if we fire a beam, it wouldn't be sufficient enough to pierce through that fiend."
"There's still hope," Wulf answered as he grabs that old necklace of him and glanced at the picture of Rufus, "and I'm pretty sure Rufus gave me the idea on how to generate enough light. He told me to trust in my abilities, and now I will. Remember that I have Anatyde running in my blood as well, that's why I can generate plasma in my fist. Maybe I can transmit plasma from my body to the laser generator, and then charge the whole ship with energy."
"What happens next?" Gen. Fox asked with curiosity.
"We'll get close near Omega, and very sure that blob won't place a thing at our ship. When we're almost near, fire the energy beam at full optimum force. That light will make Fate react and well… you know what I mean!"
Suddenly, Falco's concern thrived about. He asked while worrying, "What will happen to you? You might turn into a dried pulp when you put much energy into that laser thingy!"
"Then it's a risk I'm willing to handle," Wulf replied with a glimmer at his eyes. "I guess it's my turn now to give my share…"
