HL: Heh heh chapter 5. O I also forgot to tell you, Shadow changes into things that people fear the most, because he/she/it can change into that certain thing.
Disclaimer: Same as the last 4
"Oh god…we're going to die…and we're going to get caught." Coyote said whimpering. "Coyote…relax…Fox can't get in here…" Cassia said as the two girls clung to one another. Well, she was very mistaken, Fox kicked down the metal door and the two went wide eyed and held their breaths. Fox turned on the flashlight and shone it directly on the two girls hiding spots, "CASSIA!?!" Oh fuck… "Uh….heh…h-hey Fox…" Cassia said cringing and smiling slightly.
Fox glared and grabbed both of them by the back of the shirts. When they got to the bridge Fox threw Coyote and Cassia on the floor, "Look at who I found in the main room." He said shining the flashlight on the two very terrified girls. "Cassia? What are you doing here?" Lily asked with a raised eyebrow, "Uh I came to visit you guys. Heh…" Oh yeah…that worked…Cassia rolled her eyes mentally. "Sure you did…you cut the main engine didn't you?" Fox asked.
Coyote and Cassia exchanged glances, "Um…no. It was Coyote." "HEY!" "Coyote?!?!" Cassia covered her mouth and looked at Coyote who glared. "Coyote Hunter? As in Wolf's Cousin." Fox crossed his arms, "No…a different Coyote." Cassia said. "Cassia….don't talk." Coyote said glaring at her still. "Why? It's not like their going to find that W---" Coyote quickly covered Cassia's mouth and smiled nervously, "Excuse us for a moment.." She said yanking Cassia up and shoving her half way down the hall.
Coyote stopped halfway to the café and put Cassia against the wall, "What are you doing!?! Call for help! We're going to die if we don't get out of here! Whether that be crashing into Earth or Fox killing us." Coyote hissed. "How are they going to find us Coyote? There's no way they can follow us." Cassia said. Coyote sighed and rubbed her forehead, "Just call Andrew, Leon, or Wolf for God's sake to tell them we're as good as dead." She said.
Cassia sighed and flipped up her communicator.
-Star Wolf HQ-
Wolf was becoming restless and pacing out in the hallway. Andrew and Leon were watching him pacing a hole in the floor, "Wolf, relax, I'm sure their fine." Andrew said. "They've been gone too long." He muttered back. Leon sighed. Andrew's communicator rang and he flipped it up, "Andrew, it's me." "Cassia? Are you two ok?" "We've run into a slight problem.." Cassia said.
Wolf turned his head slightly, "What problem?" He asked. "Oh look, it's the bastard." Cassia said, "Shut up bitch, what's the problem?" He asked again coldly. "I've cut the main engine line, and of course…" "Cassia's been a moron and she cut it and now we're hurling towards Earth that could possibly kill us. And we have no way of getting out." Coyote said. Cassia shoved Coyote. "What else is new?" Wolf asked chuckling. "Be quiet. We need help…can you at least get up and come get us?" Wolf smirked and crossed his arms, "What's the magic word?" "Oh god…Wolf…" Leon said. "What? I want her to say it."
Cassia groaned, "Please…" She muttered and Wolf twitched his ear, "What? I couldn't hear you." "Please." She said more audibly. "Say, 'Wolf is the greatest that there ever was and he's saved my ass at least half the time I've been on the team.'" Leon and Andrew chuckled. "WHAT!?! YOU UNGRATEFUL WOLF! I'VE SAVED YOUR FURRY ASS HALF THE TIME I'VE BEEN ON THIS TEAM!" "Well then I guess I shouldn't save you know. Hang up Andrew." Wolf said. As Andrew went to hang up, "WAIT! Don't! Please Wolf! You are no doubt the greatest there ever was!" Wolf smirked. He loved it when he forced her to say it, "And what else?" Cassia sighed. "I just can't win can I?" "Nope." She sighed again, "And he's saved my ass at least half the time I've been on the team." She said miserably.
Wolf smiled, "Good girl. We'll be there as soon as we find you." He said. Andrew hung up. "It works every time." He said walking towards the Wolfen deck. Andrew and Leon ran after him, "Wolf, you do like her don't you?" Andrew asked. Wolf closed his left eye and opened it up, "It's nothing. I just like her as a friend." He said getting into his Wolfen ship.
Andrew rose an eyebrow and then shook his head jumping into the Wolfen ship. Leon jumped into the last. The trio took off and went to find the Great Fox.
The trio was out for a long time searching for it, "There's nothing for miles Wolf…what are we going to do?" Andrew asked. "We're going to go towards Earth and see if we can get them that way." "What!?!" Both Andrew and Leon said, "Are you crazy Wolf?!" Andrew asked, "Boss, your nuts!" Leon added. "I don't care, if it kills us, we'll at least we died trying." "How in the world are we going to pull a ship out of the gravitational pull of Earth?!? It's almost impossible." "Nothing's impossible." Wolf said.
Andrew and Leon rose their eyebrows and sighed, "Ok boss…" They both said. Wolf and the other two took off.
-in the Great Fox-
"Where are they?" Coyote asked as Cassia sat against the wall, "They'll be here…I hope…" Cassia said resting her head against the wall until the Great Fox gave another lurch. Coyote flew backwards as Cassia rolled. Cassia went to the window, "No! We're half way to the atmosphere!" She said. God damn it Wolf where are you!?! She asked herself.
-Back to the trio-
Wolf, Leon, and Andrew were going as fast as they could towards the Great Fox, "Ok, I'll get the left, Andrew, you get the back, and Leon that leaves you with the right. Let's see if we can do this." He said. The other two nodded. Wolf went to the left letting loose the pulling line. It wrapped around the wing and latched. Next time, Cassia, don't cut the engine line you moron. He thought to himself turning the Wolfen around and hitting it to the full. The line stretched as the two forces pulling on the ship fought. The trio kept going until they finally got them free from the Earth's atmosphere, miraculously.
Wolf sighed and the back opened. He turned his head to see Cassia and Coyote standing there. He smiled slightly, at least they weren't hurt, well…Coyote wasn't. Wolf turned the Wolfen around. Cassia saw her ship and jumped into the pilot seat the cockpit glass closing. Coyote did the same. The 5 of them turned around, but, before they shot the Great Fox and sent it back into Earth's gravitational pull. Cassia smirked, "Hey, Wolf." "Yeah?" "Thanks…" She said.
Wolf scoffed, "Your welcome, but don't expect me to do it again." He warned. I know you like me Wolf. You can't hide your emotions from me anymore. Cassia thought to herself. She shut off the others connection to her and Wolf's line, "Wolf…" "Yeah?" "Um….about earlier today…" "I'm sorry about that…I really shouldn't of gotten so ticked off about you making the deal with Coyote." "Tch, your just a heartless bastard." "Oh nice." Cassia giggled.
"Thanks for that show Cassia and Wolf." Cassia jumped from the sound of Andrew's voice, "What the!?! HOW DID YOU GET BACK THROUGH!?!" Andrew chuckled, "My dear, dear, Cassia, a good pilot knows how to patch in when their shut out." Wolf growled, "If any of YOU tell ANYONE about what you heard your as good as dead." He said in a dead serious tone. "We won't, you need to relax there Wolf." They were silent the rest of the way back to their ship.
-Back at the Ship-
Wolf walked into his room groggily. He pulled his shirt and pants off and threw the covers back. He crawled in until the soft padding of feet and the sliding of the motion sensitive door opened. His ear stuck up and he sat up rubbing his eye. "Cassia? What's wrong?" He asked the younger teen. She walked into the room further, "I can't sleep…" She said.
Wolf sighed and moved over slightly, "Come on." He said, "You can sleep with me, for ONE NIGHT only." He said putting stress on 'one night'. Cassia smiled and jumped into the bed. She snuggled into the covers as Wolf pulled them over her. The girl moved about a bit, and also tossed and turned in her sleep, but Wolf was used to it. When he had first met Cassia, he still had use of his right eye.
-Flash Back-
!He remembered it was the summer that Coyote was coming over for about a week or two.!
He was in the back yard fooling around with Leon, Andrew, Felicity, Morgan, Seth, Sunny, and Melanie. They, Wolf, Leon, Andrew, Morgan (he's a boy), and Seth, were mud wrestling. Felicity, Sunny, and Melanie were cheering on whoever they thought was winning. Wolf and Morgan had been wrestling when Cassia showed up with Coyote. "Wolf, your cousin is here." His mother said. The boys stopped wrestling and stood as Coyote and Cassia stood in the back yard. Coyote ran down to them, but Cassia stayed where she was.
He remembered seeing her cute face as she watched Coyote. "Come on….they don't bite." Coyote said to the girl. The girl was still hesitant but she went over to Coyote. "Guys, this is Cassia Nakoma. She'll be coming with me here every summer." Coyote said as Cassia smiled slightly. "These are the girls, Felicity Lucas, Sunny Matthews, and Melanie Tate." The three girls smiled, "And the boys. Wolf O'Donnell, my cousin, Seth Tate, Leon, Andrew, and Morgan Matthews. Of course Wolf's the leader of them." "Yea, you know you want to hang out with us instead of the O'Donnell troop." Melanie said as Cassia snickered.
Morgan glared at his sister, "Yeah right, who would want to hang out with you girls." Felicity stuck her tongue at him, "At least I wasn't named after a girl." The girls laughed at this as Morgan's eye twitched, "That's it." Wolf and Andrew grabbed Morgan's arms and held him back. "Come on, let's show Cassia around." Coyote said.
The girls nodded and walked away and Cassia followed. "Why do you come here every summer?" Cassia asked Coyote, "Oh, the Flight Academy is nearby and it's easier to get there from here rather then Earth." Cassia rose an eyebrow, "Your training to become a pilot?" Coyote nodded, "Yeah, everyone is." Melanie said. "Oh. That reminds me.." Coyote said heading towards the Flight Academy.
"Morning Coyote. It's good to see you again." The receptionist said, "Morning. Has Fox McCloud stopped by today?" Coyote asked, "No he hasn't actually…" "Hm…Corneria's biggest crybaby hasn't shown, interesting." The three girls giggled as the receptionist shook her head.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT WE'RE LATE!!!"
"MY FAULT!?! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOOK THE LONGEST TO GET INTO THE STUPID UNIFORM!!"
Coyote smirked closing her eyes identifying the two arguing voices, "Hello Fox, Falco…" She said. "Hi Coyote." Fox said out of breath. "You two are late…" "Please you have to let us sign up for this." Fox said to the receptionist, "Ok, I'll let it pass this time and this time only…" She said handing them the papers. The boys took them and signed them. "Signing up Cassia?" Cassia shook her head. "No, my brother is giving me private lessons." The receptionist looked up, "Who's your brother?" "Well…the one that's still alive, his name is Eric." The receptionist pulled up the file and smiled, "So you're his baby sister." "Yes." Cassia said.
"He was a very good student here at the flight academy. How's he doing?" "He's good…he should be stopping by at some point this summer." The receptionist nodded and smiled again.
-fast foreword to that night-
Everyone was laying on their backs looking up at the stars. Cassia was laying beside Coyote, "I've never seen the stars this bright before." She said and Coyote nodded, "Yeah, I love coming here. You can see the stars clearly." She answered. As they laid on their backs, "Cassia, you have a visitor." Cassia sat up as her older brother walked into the back, "ERIC!!" She said and ran towards him. Eric smiled and picked his sister up and spun her around, "How's the little cadet doing?" He asked. "I'm fine." She said as Eric walked her back over to the group.
"Hi Eric!" Coyote said, "Hi Coyote. Friends of yours?" He asked looking at the others, "Yeah. My cousin, Felicity, Melanie, Morgan, Seth, Andrew, Leon, and Sunny." Coyote said as they all nodded a 'hi'. "How long are you stay for?" Cassia asked. Eric smiled softly at her, "I can't stay for long. We have recruits coming in. I may only be here for the day, or tomorrow, I don't know." Cassia buried her face in Eric's suit as he sighed.
-fast foreword two days-
"Eric…I don't want you to go." Cassia said clinging to her older brother. "I know sweetie, but I'll be back I promise." "You swear you will?" "I swear." Eric said smiling warmly at her and kissed her forehead before leaving. Eric never came back.
-The end of the first week-
Cassia was sitting on the windowsill waiting for her brother to come back watching the rain fall. Wolf and Coyote sighed, knowing the worst was about to come. A knock came to the door and Wolf's father answered it, "Is there a Cassia Nakoma here?" A voice asked, "Yes. Cassia." Cassia jumped from the windowsill and went to the door. The figure frowned and held Eric's uniform in it's paws, "I'm sorry…" He said. Cassia's eyes filled with tears as she took the uniform from the figure. Wolf and Coyote went wide eyed then frowned.
Cassia fell to her knees and sobbed. Coyote went over to her and put her arm around Cassia's back. Cassia leaned into Coyote as she sobbed.
!End Flashback!
Wolf sighed as Cassia gave him a kick in the leg. He bit his lip and groaned as he fell asleep.
