&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The rebel sat in his cell on the Great Fox waiting for a Q&A with the whole Star Fox team. They said they needed to see if he deserved the death penalty, freedom or prison. He was nervous but didn't show it, he didn't want them to think he was weak, although if he did they might let him go, but no that wasn't like him so he wouldn't.

The team arrived with some guards the guards opened the cell and took him in handcuffs with little hostility. They reached the room with the brown circular table and the rebel sat down with the two guards on both his sides.

"Okay first things first, what's your name?" Fox asked opening the questions.

"What's it matter to you? You'll just end up killing me or throwing me in jail, what's the damn point of this anyways?" The rebel asked annoyed.

"Look, you saved our ass we're trying to save yours." Katt said.

"My name is Max, Max Falkskid." Max returned.
" Why did you try to save me?" Falco asked. Falco still had plenty of bandages wrapped around him from the beating.

"Look you want me to tell you, I've had a really troubled past. I lost my parents at the age of 13, I lived on the streets. That's how I got my gun skills. One day I was captured by the Xin leader, they simply call him Dante. Anyway Dante told me he had my parents hostage and that if I were to work for him he would give me the safe return of them. But it was all a dirty lie. I longed for my parents so much I was willing to kill hundreds of innocent soldiers, my mind was clouded by rage, dishonesty, and sadness. But I guess those three things basically spell out my whole life. My life is a sham. I was a total ass for letting something as obvious as that get in my way, but I was willing to take any chance for my parents. I guess I was wrong. After I learned it was a lie I began silently taking down the Xin. I didn't get far before you got me. So I helped you because seeing innocent people suffer is just wrong. I wish killing and this war wouldn't have ever started." Max said saddened.

Everyone felt a sort of pity for Max. There was a long pause, everyone processing the information that seemed to cut through their hart.

"So when you did kill did you like it?" Slippy asked.

"I'm gonna answer this honestly, at first yes, letting my rage out in killing formed relived a huge chunk of stress, but then the stress came back, the stress of a hundred innocent lives, their blood stained in my hands. Now all I want to do is kill the Xin, no not the Xin Dante." Max returned this time angered.

The Star Fox team huddled up in silence.

"He doesn't seem like a bad guy, I mean he was tricked." Fox whispered.

"This is the XIN! They tried to kill me he's probably plotting all this right now." Falco said in an untrusting tone.

"Falco, we know you hate the Xin the most but still, C'mon he nearly started crying." Krystal said.

"Fine how about we let him go but he has to serve duty on the Great Fox?" Falco asked.

"Sounds fair." Everyone agreed.

The huddle was broken and they told Max his punishment. Max was secretly pleased. He had to sweep most of the Great Fox. Just cleaning it basically.

The next morning the team had met up for breakfast where they saw a cleaning Max.

They ate then went to the T.V area, where they saw a cleaning Max.

Then lunch, they saw a cleaning Max once again.

"Man, this guy doesn't stop." Falco said.

"He's true to his word." Fox said.

The day was coming to an end when an alarm went off! Three Xin ships had landed in the docking bay and the team was on the case. They had decided to take the Negotiating approach and try to talk there way out of it.

Max had shown up at the scene with a rifle of his own. The team talked and talked, Max staying quite when suddenly a Xin fired a shot right at falco. Max's reactions were quick so he jumped in taking a bullet.

He was bleeding badly in the upper left chest.

"You saved my life!" Falco said.

"You don't deserve to die, I do." Max returned.

Max then stood up and said:

"If you want me take me, don't hurt them they didn't do anything." Max said while dropping his weapon.

The Xin opened fire on the team and Max jumped in once again and took a few more shots.

"Team, open fire!" Fox ordered.

They whole team began firing caps, taking cover behind the corners.

Max laid on the floor in his own blood.

After several minutes the team owned the Xin and began to go over to Max.

"Wake up! Wake up!" They all said.

There lay Max, in his own blood, in pain, holding on for his life.

(A/N) Oooooh cliffy, I guess. Wow talk about taking a bullet for random strangers. Geez that got to hurt.

Now before saying, lombax worship you did a good job with the battling in the other chapter why'd you screw it over here? This chapter was about Max and his dedication and characteristics, so I purposely didn't do a good job on the fighting.

I know that will disappoint many of you but I'm sorry.

Anyways REVIEW!
