Chapter 6
Fox McCloud
I opened my eyes slowly after feeling someone shake me. At first I saw a blue blur. But after a few blinks of the eye, it turned out to be Falco. I smiled at him and sat up on my bed.
"Good morning," I greeted with a smile.
"Morning," he replied. He smiled a bit. "Would you mind telling me what was going on at the medical wing last night?" I narrowed my eyes, a bit confused. "For someone who doesn't want come between a girl and boyfriend, you seem to be real cozy with Zelda last night." I chuckled a bit.
"Hey, we're just -"
"- very close friends?" a voice finished. I looked around to see Mr. Game and Watch in the corner of the room.
"Come on, Fox," Falco chuckled out. "You never had been this close to a girl who was taken before." Falco's eyes seemed to darken a bit.
"Fox, remember that conversation we had a few days ago when you, Falco and I were sitting around in the Cafeteria?" Mr. Game and Watch asked. I nodded. "You said Zelda was already going out with Link. However, if what Falco just said holds true, you just spoon-fed us a huge lie." I chuckled nervously, than sighed, deciding to give in.
"Yeah, I lied," I muttered out.
"But why, Fox?" Falco asked.
"Look, she's not my species, okay?!" I heard my self yell out. Falco's eyes widened. Mr. Game and Watch walked up to Falco and whispered something to him. Falco nodded and walked towards the nearest. Mr. Game and Watch than turned towards me.
"Fox, I don't think it has anything to do with species," Game suggested.
"What makes you think so?" I asked. Game chuckled a bit. He took a seat next to me on my bed.
"Let me tell you a little something about the Flat Zone, the dimension I live in. The Flat Zone is as a large as the universe. That way, my people are able to go anywhere, anytime. When I was in high school, my class took a field trip to Corneria." I raised an eyebrow, a little surprised about this. "When I was there, I was a little more than surprised. Everyone on that planet was different, and no didn't seem to care. I seen some couples here and there. Sure some of them were normal. Fox with fox, hare with hare. But most of them were definitely different. And if I'm not mistaken, Falco has a thing for a certain feline, correct?" I nodded slightly. "I may not be a therapist, psychologist, or whatever kind 'ist' they use in this situation, but I know when someone's afraid."
I frowned as I stood up and turned my back to the two. I shook my head.
"All I wanted to do was meet Ms. Right," I muttered out. "I-I really like Zelda. All this t-time, I didn't want to...I don't want to risk it. I don't if it will turn out like my other relationships..." I felt a hand on my shoulders. I turned around to see Falco behind me. Tears were finding their way down my cheeks. I hugged him, burying my face into his shoulder. I felt his arms close around me.
"Its okay Fox, let it out," I heard him whisper. Tears were soaking his jacket, and he didn't care. After a few minutes, I was able to recover. I let go of Falco and sat on my bed. I shook my head.
"Thanks, you two," I muttered out.
"Hey, just call me anytime," Game said.
"You know I always have your back," Falco chimed. "Now come on. Samus' match is up next."
Samus
I stepped into the arena, ready to fight. I decided to analyze the situation: Two against one, with me being the one. No weapons, and two stocks per fighter. Inside my helmet, I smiled widely.
I looked squarely at my opponents. They were Ganondorf and Bowser. They were smiling viciously, thinking they had this in the bag. I stepped towards the middle of the arena. They laughed out loud.
"Hey, just because we fighting don't mean we can't shake hands, right?" Ganondorf laughed out. "After all, it's sportsmanship." He stuck his hand out. I looked up at the both of them and stood there for a few seconds. Than stuck out my middle finger. A scowl came across his face, and the crowd was silent. The arena turned black. After a few seconds, we appeared on the top of a ship. While I was in the middle, Bowser was way in front of me, which meant Ganondorf was behind me.
"FIGHTERS READY?!"
Steam was rising up from my blaster.
"GO!"
I just stood there, waiting. I counted a few seconds before I jumped up. The two of them stop right under me. I came down swiftly, fight feet landing on Bowser's head. I quickly send my left fist across Ganondorf's jaw. I jumped forward, than jumped up, sparks appearing across my body. I rolled up into the ball, making Ganondorf's body look like a real Christmas tree. While I was in the air, I launched a rocket at him, knocking a way the green-skinned creature.
I landed only to see an Arwing appear in front of me. I quickly jumped behind Bowser, who was too focused on me. The Arwing opened fire, blasting the huge turtle away. I quickly ran under the space fighter, avoiding the lasers. As soon as I was safe, I fell victim to Ganondorf's Wizard's Foot. I was instantly knocked backward. As soon as he ran forward, I jumped up and send my cannon to his stomach. I was going to hit him with a left when I felt a huge slam on me. I was almost flattened. I laid there, almost stunned. As soon as I huge a shadow over me. I quickly rolled away, leaving a bomb. The huge turtle landed on it, which knocked him back a little. I launched another missile, knocking him back some more. Soon afterwards, Ganondorf jumped forward, wanting to hit me with another Wizard's Foot. I swung my cannon over my head. He was quickly engulfed in flames. I looked forward, only to get engulfed in fire. I rolled around the ground, trying to put out the flames. I laid there, waiting for the shadow. I saw a huge shadow and smiled. I quickly jumped up, and the familiar sparks appeared across my body. Bowser was caught this time. While he was still in the air, I send one huge right hand, knocking him off the stage.
I landed and looked around for Ganondorf. I couldn't see him so I decided to charge up my cannon. Big mistake. I felt a very heavy punch from behind. I was knocked off of the ship. But before I exited the stage, I landed on an Arwing, which was head in the same direction where I came from. I quickly charged up my cannon, letting the space fighter blast Ganondorf. He had his shield up, which quickly shattered, stunning him. As soon as I was done, I jumped down from the fighter and waited for him to get up. As soon as he stood up, he was changing into different colors. I quickly blasted him away, taking him out of the stage.
I was in the lead. That was until I felt a huge hit from behind me. It was from Bowser. I didn't have an Arwing to save me this time. I was sent out of the stage. As soon as I appeared in the arena, I quickly jumped on the return platform. As soon as I was able to jump off the platform, trying to plant my foot on Ganondorf's head. Unfortunately, I missed, and I was jumped. The scene was a blur to me. All could remember was bits and pieces. At one point, pieces of my suit were scattered across the floor. At another point, I could hear the boos of the crowd. At last, I was on the ground. I was defeated. I know I was defeated. But I was still struggling to get up until I felt Ganondorf's foot on my chest.
"Don't worry, Link will still continue the match for you," he laughed out. Than mock realization came across his face. "Oh, I'm sorry, he is in the medical wing!" Bowser was laughing at Ganondorf's little joke.
They thought it was funny. I didn't. On the contrary, I was now pissed off to no end. I quickly send my blaster in his stomach. As soon as he kneeled over, I knocked him back with a left. I jumped to my feet and send an elbow to Bowser's jaw. He was knocked back a little. He than growled as he opened his mouth, ready to launch a flame. I quickly grabbed Ganondorf's foot and tossed him into Bowser's line of fire, so to speak. The green warrior was quickly engulfed in flames. I jumped forward, tackling Bowser to the ground. I send a flurry of left and right punches, screaming out like I lost my mind. Each punch I send hit his skull with meteor-like impact. I quickly noticed a shadow around me. I quickly jumped back, seeing Ganondorf's feet hit Bowser's face. I quickly kicked Ganondorf in the back, knocking him off Bowser. I ran up to Bowser again. I grabbed him with on hand, and slammed against the floor once, twice, three times. I than tossed into the air. As he came down, he fell victim to my Screw Attack. He was sent out of the arena.
The crowd was cheering my name, but I didn't care. I turned to face Ganondorf. He was huffing and puffing, but smiling.
"For you to win, you have to reach me first," he said with a laugh. I slowly aimed my cannon. He laughed even more. "I'm out of your grappling hook's range." I fired something. But it wasn't my plasma grappling hook. It was Link's longshot. The hook embedded itself in Ganondorf's chest place. A look of disbelief was shown across his face. I reeled him in. As soon as he within my reach, I grabbed him with my left hand. I than delivered a right hand blow to his stomach. He was almost unconscious as I charged up my cannon. When I was done, I let it loose, blowing him out of the stage.
"MATCH OVER! WINNER, SAMUS ARAN!" I was breathing hard, a bit relieved that I survived. I quickly ran out of the arena, wanting to see how Link was doing.
Link
I was looking up at the television in my room in the medical wing. I was smiling, but I still couldn't believe it. She won!
I looked towards my right to see Samus enter. I smiled, giving her a thumbs up.
"I'm guessing you saw my match, right?" she said. I nodded. "How's your leg?" I tapped it a couple of times and smiled some more.
"I'm going to be out a day early," I answered. I frowned as I took a look at her armor. "It seems as if you might be out for a little bit as well." She shook her head a bit.
"The armor will be repaired before our next match," she assured. I smiled a bit. She than pulled my longshot out of her cannon. "Oh yeah, thanks for letting me borrow your longshot." She handed to me. I nodded a bit.
"You're welcome," I said with a smile. She turned stood up and exited the wing.
Why did I feel lonely when she left?
