Here's the next fic for Encounter. I would appreciate it if you would review soon since I'm up to some action now. I'm currently working on a new fic known as Scars of Life, which is a prequel to this fic in Fox's past and what happened.

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Fox, Star Wars, or Yugioh, but I do own Scars of Life.

Encounter

Chapter 5

Alley Fight

As night was creeping around the corner, Joey and Serenity were coming home from a Varsity school game. Serenity was still trying to calm down after a game like that.

"Thanks Joey. I haven't been to a Varsity game before," Serenity said. "I never knew that something like that can take so much out of me.

"Well, Varsity games are much different from professional games. The fans are more active," Joey explained.

"I noticed," Serenity responded. "I'm still recovering from that adrenaline rush."

"Yeah, I know how you feel."

Just as Joey and Serenity were coming around a corner, Joey thought he saw someone sneaking behind them. He turned around to see no one behind them. Joey took Serenity's arm and began to walk faster.

"Joey, what's wrong?"

"Not now, we have to get-"

Just before he could finish, someone wearing a leather coat and leather pants came out of nowhere and tried to grab them. Joey ducked it and gave him an uppercut at the jaw. Joey began to run as Serenity tried to keep up while Joey's grasp is still around her arm. Serenity didn't like the streets at night, especially what she heard about them. Joey tried to get Serenity out of harms way, but 10 more thugs jumped out of nowhere. Joey and Serenity began to back off into an alley until they had nowhere else to go.

"Sorry sis, I have to fight this one," Joey said.

"But-"

Before she could try to reason with him, Joey went out and began to fight them as if they were just more street thugs. Serenity began to back off to the right side as Joey was throwing kicks and punches at the thugs, which didn't work too well. Joey tried his best, but to no avail, he was beaten down himself. Serenity was about to try her shot, despite the fact that she's at the worst disadvantage, but she was shoved to the ground face first. Serenity tried to struggle out, but because of her low strength endurance and such, she can't move.

"Well, we sure have a good one here," one of the thugs said.

"What should we do with this blonde freak?"

"Beat him down while I get some fun."

As the thugs were continuing their beatings, the assumed leader flipped Serenity face up. He tried to get his hands on her, but before he could, he felt a knee slam into his face, breaking his nose. Serenity didn't feel anyone's hands on her arms, but she looked up to see someone standing in front of her. Only things noticeable were her jeans, her sweatshirt, her long violet hair, and slim build. She turned her head, letting Serenity know who it was. As soon as Serenity could see her face, she knew that it was Lisa.

"It's…you!"

"You okay, Serenity?"

Before Serenity could answer, two of the thugs hadLisa in a pincer as they stood at her front and back. They both started to close in, but before they could get within a foot, Lisa dropped to the ground and did a sweep kick to one of the thugs, causing him to fall down. She stayed facing the reverse direction and grabbed the other thug's ankles and pulled him off of his feet. She turned to face the other thugs as they stood there in awe of her.

"Hey, she's only one girl. We're many more than she could handle."

All of the other street thugs agreed and began to surround her as Lisa stood her stance. The thugs began to close in slowly on her while Serenity was sneaking around to her brother. Just as she got to him, Joey began to regain some conscience.

"Joey, are you okay?" Serenity asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Joey answered.

Just as he said that, he collapsed again as well as fainted. Serenity looked over to see Lisa standing there, waiting for them to make the first move. A second later, one of the thugs tried his shot at her. Before he could even get to her, Lisa jumped up as she curled her legs up. As she got to maximum height, she drop kicked the thug in the face, causing him to fly back a few feet. The other thugs tried their hand as they all started simultaneously, but Lisa merely slid under their legs as she found a way to get out of that mess. Three thugs turned around and ran at Lisa at full speed. They grabbed Lisa as they shoved her face first into a wall. Lisa jacked her legs up the shaft, causing two of the thugs to let go. Lisa then did a mule kick to the third guy, sending him into three other thugs. Lisa turned around only to see a knife in her face. Everyone stopped and looked over to the two confronting each other.

"I bet you're not fast enough to dodge a knife."

Before the thug could thrust his knife, the knife flew out of his hands. They all looked over the entrance to see both Fox and Falco standing there with guns.

"Don't move or we'll shoot," Fox commanded.

They all stood there with their hands up as they were petrified from the sight of guns. Other police officers went over and cuffed the who knows how many street thugs. Fox went over to see if Joey and Serenity were okay. He saw that Joey was knocked out as his head rested on Serenity's shoulder.

"Hey, you two okay?" Fox asked.

"Joey's unconscious, but I should be fine," Serenity responded.

"We'll get a medic team over right away," Fox assured.

Fox called a medic team over and got Joey onto a stretcher. As they did, the police officers got the thugs into their squad cars to take back to the department of justice (don't ask, I just wanted to call it something else). Falco looked over to see Joey put into the ambulance. Serenity was about to enter, but one of the paramedics held her back so that she wouldn't be on the bumpy ride. She only stood there as the medics took Joey to the hospital.

Yes, I know that it didn't turn out good for all of you Joey fans, but I had to do it only because it's a part of the story, not that I have a grudge against him. Now that that action scene is down, there'll be more on the way, by the next two chapters.
