Unseen Revenge: Chapter 5, The Attack

" We're launching in five minuets." Fox said heading to the ship bay.

" Dad can I come along? I swear to be careful." James asked. He knew what Fox was going to say but he still had to try.

" No. I promised your mother you'd stay here." Fox said sternly.

James just looked at Fox pleadingly. He really wanted to go.

" But dad, I'll do everything you say." James was really trying his luck and Fox's temper.

" If you'll do what I say then you'll stay here!" Fox said. He didn't want James going out there, espeacialy not knowing what to expect out there.

" Just let him Fox, now bear with me here. If you don't let him come he'll just sneak out and follow us. Then if he got into trouble we'd never know becease of us not having any way to comunicate with eachother. After all he is your son. And you know what they say ' Like father, like son'." Falco said.

Fox felt Falco wasn't really helpiing with the situation but he did have a point. James would sneak out even if Fox put him in a holding cell. Fox knows this for a fact since one time few years back to keep James out of trouble and as a joke , he locked James in a holding cell. And some how he escaped from it. Fox still hasn't figured that out yet.

" I can't believe this. I don't know how you managed to get Falco on your side James, but he dose have a point. Oh I give up you can come but if you pull any 'stunts' of any kind you're coming straight back here. Got it." Fox said.

James just nodded. He had lost another 'battle' to James. They reached the ship bay and Jessie was ready to launch. James rushed over to an Arwing and climbed in. He looked over at Jessie who didn't even seem to notice him. Fox sensing what this was really about, got an idea.

" I think we should split in to two teams. James and Falco will search the eastern moutains, while Jessie and I search the western mountains." Fox said.

He looked over at James who looked disappointed at this idea. Just what Fox was looking for.

" That sounds perfect." Jessie said quickly. " It will be more efficent that way."

This made James even more disappointed. Jessie seemed to want to be around Fox rather then him. But Falco also agreed that it was a perfect idea. They all settled in their ships and prepeared to launch. After a quick systems check they launched. They soon found themselves over the Macbeth mountain range. They soon seperated and went to their separate destinations.

-Falco and James-

" Ok kid before, we enter the mountains and lose comunication I have a question." Falco said.

" Ok Falco what is it?" James said exspecting it to be something importent.

" Whats really going on between you and Jessie? And don't try to lie because I can tell there's something." Falco said. James just knew Charlie told him about walking in on him and Jessie. James didn't want to talk about it with Falco.

" Nothing really. Maybe we should Focus on our mission." James said quickly descending.

-Fox and Jessie-

" Ok Jessie, stay alert." Fox said.

Jessie only nodded and they began to descend. Fox kept his eye's open. He wasn't about to let someone get the best of him. But Fox had this strange feeling that he was in danger. Fox looked behind him and saw Jessie lagging a bit. Then he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He turned and saw something up ahead. He couldn't quite make out what it was but, it looked like a downed ship.

Suddenly he felt a jolt and heared an explosion. His engins had been hit. Suddenly he began to descend rapidly. Fox did every thing he could think of but couldn't pull himself out of the dive. All he could do was brace himself for the crash.

Suddenly Jessie came up under Fox to try and slow his descent even in the slightest bit. She wanted Fox alive and her efferts weren't in vain. Fox's descent had slowed but if she stayed under Fox she'd crash as well. Fox much appreciated her efferts. He braced himself once again for the crash.

There were sudden jolts as his Arwing skidded across the ground. The sound of metal smashing into dirt and rock. There was the sound of shattering glass as his windshield shattered and shards of glass came raining down on Fox. Several shards slashing at his flesh, sharp stinging sensations all over his face and hands. He put his left arm over his face to protect his eyes from the shower of glass. He suddenly felt that was a mistake because when the Arwing jolted to a stop his arm slamed against the frame of his now shattered windshield. And a sensation of searing pain ran through his arm. Fox feared that may have broken it.

Jessie immediatley landed and rushed over to the wrecked Arwing. Fox started to climb out before she reached him. Fox leaned agianst his once great Arwing now heavly damaged. A sensation of pain ran through his whole body that made his knees buckle. Jessie caught Fox before he hit the ground and sat him down against his Arwing. He was a bloody mess from the crash.

Fox just sat there craddling his left arm. Fox looked up at Jessie who just looked at him. He began to remove shards of glass embeded in his arm. Jessie removed a few from his face the whole time she remaned silent.

" Jessie did you see where the shots came from?" Fox asked her. Jessie noded then stepped back. -
