A Lost Future

Chapter 2 'Why are you so old?'

Falco and the others woke up and found themselves in the park, but something was wrong, very wrong. Everything was destroyed, the sky was red, and corpses were everywhere.

"What the, why is everything. . . dilapidated?" Ganondorf was looking around, at the ruins.

"Yeah, let's- Wha!" Peach was surprised at what was seen on the ground.

"What! This says the year is 2025! Those idiots must've made a stupid mistake." Falco read the date on the Newspaper. It also had a title of 'Murder from the Dictator, Hailson'.

"Dictator? What are they talking about?" Zelda questioned everyone around her. There was suddenly a bunch of people with guns and rifles marching toward the park.

"What the FUCK?" Bowser prepared for a fight against those guys. He noticed that they had symbols on their shirts with 'VH" on them.

"Halt! Who are you? Why are you at the park without the permission of Emperor Hailson?" One of the soldiers barked the question at the Smashers.

"Permission? I don't need no freakin' permission!" Bowser responded. Apparently, he didn't know what kind of rifle the troops had.

"Oh, and what are you going to do with those. . . GA. . . 9. . . sniper rifles. . .?" Falco's voice trailed off at the sight of those rifles.

"These are not the GA-9's of your knowledge, obviously. These are semi-automatic GA-9 rifles. Now, answer our first question! Otherwise, we will open fire." Another soldier answered and hollered.

"We-uh-we-are-umm-here because-" Peach was stuttering between her words because she wants to avoid being shot.

"ANSWER OUR QUESTION AND STOP STUTTERING!" The troop who looked like the leader.

"We did not come here. We just went after someone and we suddenly appeared here. We come in peace." Krystal got the guts and answered them.

"Went after someone? You did not happen to go after a man with high-tech gizmos, did you?"

"We did."

The troops started talking and then they glared at the Smashers.

"We have come to a conclusion that you are the ones who resist against the Emperor! You shall die at the Emperor's feet!" The troops stormed after them.

"AAAAHHHHHH! Get away from me!" Irene was being grabbed by the soldiers.

"Get your fucking hands OFF MY GIRLFRIEND!" Falco steeped in and punched the soldiers off.

"Falco!" Irene was relieved to get those hands off of her.

"Irene!"

At this point they gave each other a short hug and ran off. Meanwhile, at an alley, a figure in a motorcycle suit on a faded motorcycle was watching them. Was he a friend or foe?

"We can't escape them! Nayru, help us!" Zelda was losing strength and collapsed. The soldiers were about to capture her, but a beam was shot at the soldier and killed him. The figure in the motorcycle suit jumped in and saved the Hyrulian Princess.

"Thank you, but-" Zelda was cut off.

"Don't mention it!" The figure carried Zelda to the others. He had a deep voice. But, Zelda could not put her finger on it, but she could almost recognize the voice.

"Don't just stand there! Come on!"

"Why should we?" Ganondorf was being stubborn.

"You want to be shot to death by psycos? If not, come on!" The figure yelled toward Ganondorf.

Everyone ran and ran until they came to a familiar street.

"This is familiar. Are we-Oh no. . . NO!" Falco ran to the end of the street, only to find out their mansion, their home, was destroyed.

"Poyo!" Kirby was saddened at the tragic site.

"Our-our home. . . It's destroyed! Why did you take us here?" Peach was breaking up in tears.

"If this is what happened. . . Then. . . Then. . . That means that. . . Fox, oh, my dear, Fox. . ." Krystal also started crying, with anger and revenge in her eyes at the same time.

Everyone was mourning at this tragic site. It was then the figure told everyone to hold their sorrow.

"Guys, I know it was traumatic to lose home and some friends, but swallow it." The figure removed the helmet and revealed his face. Everybody either gasped or slowed their crying.

"Fox!" Falco, Irene, and especially Krystal, were glad to see their best friend. The others were a little sad, but at the same time happy.

"But, Fox, why are you so old?" Krystal was overwhelmed with anxiety.

"Well. . ."
