11- Captain Falcon

For the first time in his life, Captain Falcon was panicking. Also for the first time in his life, he was careening way off course. He steered to the right as far as he could, and... Nope, right of the track. Like, waaay off the track. And his ship still wouldn't stop, it just kept going and going, fast as light. The racer took a moment to think about what events happened in his life that could possibly lead him down this road, physically and metaphorically...

"A totally fair race, you say? No strings attached?? 3 million credits if I win?! You're on, Blood Falcon!"

Present

The captain made a mental note not to trust anybody who has attempted to kill him at least twice... He had a bigger problem for now though: his ship wasn't slowing. If anything, it was picking up speed, and he still couldn't steer. Finally, his ship was going so fast that it managed to break through the atmosphere. Thankfully, his cockpit was air-tight, but that didn't save him from other dangers.

As he involuntarily travelled through space, he crashed into just about everything, satellites, asteroids, a bright orange ship that was shaped like a visor of some kind; without control over his direction, his ship was as good as doomed.

Finally, he began speeding toward another planet, crashing through the atmosphere with immense force. His ship was falling apart the further he went, eventually being reduced to just the cockpit by the time he approached the surface.

It crashed with a loud boom, ejecting the pilot on impact. His head thoroughly damaged, he turned to what looked like a green blur, next to a smaller pink one. "Either of you know a good mechanic...?" He asked weakly before collapsing.

Several hours later

When Captain Falcon awoke, he was lying in a tiny bed, obviously meant for a very small person. He got up and noticed that the two shapes from before were sleeping in seats in the room, now in the form of a man in green and a pink ball. He assumed this was a hospital of some sort (though clearly one meant for very small people), and walked up to the two so he could thank them.

"Thank you, kind citizens!" He yelled, loud enough to wake them both. The pink one looked angry and unsettled, as if it didn't really want to be here, while the green one smiled, seemingly happy to have done something good.

"L-luigi!" The other man said wearily, still shocked from the sudden wake-up. "My name is Luigi. We were just waiting for you to wake up, the doctor said that miraculously, you were completely unharmed by the crash, all you needed was some sleep."

As he went on, the pink ball grabbed Luigi's sleeve, tugging softly, yet angrily.

"Oh! And this is Jigglypuff. She only agreed to wait for you if I help her find someone after." He informed. The bounty hunter grinned.

"No problem! I find people all the time! Just lead me to my ship and I'll have them by the end of the day, free of charge!" He assured, a free bounty being the least he could do after the citizens helped him out.

Unfortunately, Luigi had a regretful expression on his face. "Sorry to say, but... We brought your car to a mechanic, and she said you car is beyond repair for now. You're gonna be here for a little while." He informed solemnly.

The captain was anguished, his ship was his entire life, he was lost without it. He clenched his fist in anger. "Blood will pay for this when I get back... This might be good though! For now, I will harness my physical prowess, so that I can exact my revenge even without my car! And as thanks for helping me, I'll train you two as well!!"

Luigi looked worried and confused at the notion, and Jigglypuff couldn't understand what was being said, but she certainly didn't like how intensely the pilot was pointing his finger at them. The two were powerless however, as the man in blue grabbed them both by the arm, dragging them along until he could find a suitable training spot. And so the remained for about a month's time...

AN: I'll be honest, I kinda lost interest in this fic for a little while... But then that Smash direct dropped and I became fricking hyped again! Not to mention that Detective Pikachu trailer which totally fits my interpretation of Jigglypuff. And speaking of interpretations of things... I'm very sorry if I didn't get Captain Falcon's personality right. I played F-Zero GX once when I was kid, and that was the extent of my knowledge outside of Smash. Thankfully, I did a bit of research before writing this, and boy was I gonna misinterpret him... For example, I had NO idea he was a bounty hunter. What is Nintendo's obsession with space mercenaries??? Also, I totally thought Blood Falcon was a copycat, not a literal clone. So even if I got things wrong, just know that they could have been much worse. That's all for now, I'll try to get these out a little more quickly, and like usually if anyone has any feedback or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment or dm me!
