Chapter Seven: Meet the Team
The Star Fox Team continue looking around Thorntail Hollow where Jane, Selvig and Darcy still remain sleeping near the giant well. Darcy wakes up and sees the Star Fox Team and gets surprised.
Darcy: Jane. Jane.
Jane stirs and flutters her eyes open and wakes up.
Jane: What is it, Darcy? (noticing the team) Oh, my god! That must be them! (running towards them)
Darcy: Jane, wait!
Selvig wakes up and notices Jane walking towards the team.
Jane: Excuse me! Excuse me!
Falco sees her and aims his gun at her.
Falco: Don't move a muscle lady!
Jane: (halting) Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Fox: Falco! Put the gun down! (to Jane) Can I help you?
Jane: Well, we're kinda lost. We don't even know why we're here.
Selvig: Jane! Get back!
Fox: (to Selvig) It's okay! We're just here to help!
Darcy: (looking at them funny) You are... animals.
Falco: (overhears and marches toward her) What was that?
Slippy: (grabbing Falco) Falco! Enough!
Fox: Sorry about him. Please, let us introduce ourselves. I'm Fox McCloud. Leader of the Star Fox Team.
Slippy: I'm Slippy. (pointing to Falco) This is Falco.
Krystal: I'm Krystal.
Jane: Nice to meet you. I'm Jane Foster. (pointing to Darcy) This is Darcy Lewis... (pointing to Selvig) and Dr. Erik Selvig.
Fox shakes Selvig's hand.
Fox: Nice to meet you, Dr. Selvig. So, you're not from any planet in Lylat System are you?
Jane: No, we came from Earth. We were doing some science business and we found this portal thing that only let us in and we ended in some palace what they call here... Darcy, do you remember what that dinosaur said?
Fox: I know what you're talking about. You were in Krazoa Palace.
Jane: Well, do you think you can help us find a way out of here and back to Earth?
Fox: Well, we never heard of Earth but I promise we'll do everything we can to help you.
Jane: Thank you.
Selvig: Hey, Fox.
Fox: Yes, Doctor?
Selvig: What planet are you from?
Fox: I come from Corneria. Why don't you come with us? We're on a mission to find a dinosaur who's been kidnapped.
Jane: Sure thing. We're more than happy to help.
Jane, Darcy and Selvig follow the Star Fox Team to help them with their mission.
Meanwhile on Planet Corneria, one of the soldiers of the Cornerian Army arrive to General Pepper's office.
Soldier: Sir, we've just been informed that the Star Fox team have returned to Dinosaur Planet.
Pepper: Really? (lighting his cigar) What are they doing there?
Soldier: They failed to tell me.
Pepper: I want you all to head down to that planet and find out why.
Soldier: But aren't you coming, sir?
Pepper: No, I got stuff to do. It's work related.
Soldier: Okay, whatever.
Pepper stands up and walks to his Cornerian soldiers hanging out.
Pepper: Gentlemen, may I have your attention.
They all face Pepper.
Pepper: We are all aware that it's been over a decade since Andross has been destroyed. Since then, things have been getting worse so we just need to keep our eyes out for bad guys.
Soldier: What do you suggest we do?
Pepper: Like I said, keep our eyes.
Soldier: What about our Star Fox friends?
Pepper: They're on Planet Sauria which is telling me that Fox is up to something God knows what. I have some of my other men on the way down there to find the answers.
Meanwhile, The Star Fox Team continue their search for Tricky around LightFoot Village.
Jane: So, your father was part of the team before you took over?
Fox: He was the leader of the Star Fox Team with Peppy Hare and Pigma Dengar. After Pigma betrayed them he caused James McCloud, my father, to get killed by this beast named Andross.
Jane: I'm so sorry.
Fox: And now I have avenged his death and now I'm making him proud.
The Lightfoots notice Fox and his team approaching the village. One villager approaches the chief.
Villager: Chief, Star Fox has returned and they've got visitors with them.
Chief: Really?
The chief looks outside and notices them.
Chief: We have guests.
Back to the team,...
Fox: What about you, Jane?
Jane: I have a friend who might be looking for me on Earth.
Fox: Boyfriend.
Jane: (thinking) It's... complicated.
Fox: It's okay. I've had love troubles.
Krystal: Fox!
Fox: Sorry, babe.
Chief: Fox McCloud! Welcome back!
Fox sees the Chief and marches towards him and putting his weapon away.
Fox: Chief Lightfoot! Long time no see.
Chief: What brings you here?
Fox: I'm looking for Tricky. Have you seen him?
Chief: Oh, you mean the prince.
Fox: Well, he calls himself King Tricky, now.
Chief: Hate to say it. But me no see Tricky.
Fox: Well, he's been kidnapped and now he's missing.
Chief: By whom?
Fox: You wouldn't believe me if I told you who?
Chief: Don't worry. I'm sure he's okay. Now who are these new people.
Jane: I'm Jane. This is Darcy and Dr. Selvig.
Darcy: Hi.
Selvig: What is this place?
Chief: You are you in LightFoot Village. We LightFoot live in peace.
Jane: Do you get any intruders?
Chief: Not really. We're meant to be protected.
Darcy: And so am I.
Chief: Why don't you stay for a while?
Fox: Not a bad idea.
Jane: We're good to stay, right guys.
Selvig: (nodding) Sure.
Meanwhile at CloudRunner Fortress, Thor starts talking to the Queen.
Thor: Forgive me, your majesty. But I must go. There is someone out there who is in great danger.
Queen: I understand, young Thor. And what of your little friend.
Thor: I'm taking him home and then I have to find Jane Foster.
Queen: Off you go, then.
Thor: (bowing) Thank you.
Thor exits the Fortress.
Thor: Can you swim, Tricky?
Tricky: Yeah, why?
Thor: Let's go, then.
Tricky jumps in the water and Thor hops on top of him.
Tricky: This water leads to Cape Claw.
Thor: Take me there. She must be there.
Tricky: Aye aye, captain.
