It was now several hours later. Slippy had gone right to work as Fox had ordered him and had remodeled the security system on Great Fox. It was now faster, sharper, brighter and better than before. And of course he bolted Wolf's door shut, locking him inside. And after all that Slippy went to bed along with everyone else.
The darkness of space made it seem much more like nighttime helping everyone get to sleep better.
Fox was in his room with Krystal just down the hall, and Falco just around the corner. He knew she'd be safe with the both of them not to far away. But something kept Fox up that night.
For some reason he couldn't get to sleep, he tossed and turned in his bed. He tried counting sheep but that didn't work. It was obvious what was keeping him up, he was worried about Krystal.
Despite all the precautions he took, having Slippy remake the security system and he not being too far away he was still worried.
So since he couldn't sleep Fox decided to get up and check on her. He rolled out of bed grabbing his pistol which lay on the dresser nearby and then walked outside of his room and made his way to Krystal's.
He stumbled down the hallway . It was completely dark, he could barely see in front of him. He was knocking into things and hitting himself against the wall. But then as he got closer and closer he could make out something.
A door, Krystal's door was open. Fox quickly became on edge and pulled out his gun. Then he ran forward, almost tripping over himself to Krystal's room.
He stuck his head into her room and could not find her. Fox looked around frantically now completely nervous.
Just then he heard footsteps coming up from behind him. Fox quickly turned around. And there low and behold he saw Krystal walking down the hallway ever so carelessly.
Fox quickly approached her.
"Where've you been?" he asked in a harsh whisper.
"I just woke up to get some water." Krystal whispered back.
"Just now?" asked Fox.
"Yes." Replied Krystal.
"In the middle of the night?" asked Fox. However their whispers had attracted some attention. Falco had been woken up and had now poked his head outside his door to see what was going on.
"Don't worry." Said Krystal to Fox."I'm fine, you just go get yourself some sleep." Fox took a deep sigh as Krystal walked past him and returned to her room. Then shut the door behind her.
At that moment Fox's eyes caught the attention his falcon friend who had watched the whole thing.
"What's the matter with you?" asked Fox as he motioned to his gun.
Falco gave a dazed looked in response.
"What's the matter with me?" he asked."I'm not the one out there in my underwear." It was then that an idea came over Fox and he gave a sly smile.
Then moments later Falco found himself standing guard outside Krystal's door. He paced back and forth with gun in hand.
The hours past and it was no late in the night with no incident whatsoever, but soon that would change.
Two ships flew slightly in space and came over Great Fox. The two hovered over while their owners exited their spacecraft's and zip lined down to great Fox. The two were dressed in black, making them hard to make out. The only thing one could notice right away is how the first figure was more slender and sneaky looking than the other who was bigger than his comrade.
One pulled out a small saw and cut a small hole in the glass window of the control room. Then the figure stuck his index finger in the hole and then lowly pulled the window off. Then he and his comrade quickly slid inside closing the window behind them.
The two then pulled out two machine guns and made their way down the halls of Great Fox.
They stopped at one corner. One of them poked his head out and looked down the hallway, he saw nothing. So then he motioned to his comrade that they should move forward.
The two moved very quickly down the hallway and down to the next corner. Then they repeated the proses as they had just done.
One of then dropped to one knee and looked around the corner.
There he saw Falco standing guard in front of a door. He then turned to his comrade and gave him a thumbs up. The second figure moved into position. The first slowly stepped out from behind the corner.
"He's mine." Whispered the first. Then the two sprang into action and quickly ran down the hallway completely covered in the darkness.
Falco could hear the faint sounds of footsteps coming at him and he turned to where he heard the noise coming from. He turned around and saw nothing but darkness in the hallway.
But then suddenly a dark figure came out of the shadows and jumped at him. The figure reached up and hit Falco across the face with the butt of his gun knocking him out cold onto the ground.
As the first figure turned around he saw the second figure was standing next to the door. The first figure joined his side and stood on the other side of the door. Then they nodded to each other.
Then the second figure grabbed the doorknob and slowly opened the door. The room was still completely dark and hid them well.
The second figure put his door in the room and then slowly entered, the first figure quickly followed.
As they stood in the room the second figure turned on his flashlight. Then the room was filled with light and the light shined onto the bed. And there they saw Krystal. The two looked to each other and nodded. Then they moved into position on opposite sides of the bed.
The first figure put his gun aside and pulled out some rope and a cloth while the second figure kept his light on her.
The two stood over her and then quickly sprang into action.
The first figure grabbed her and put the cloth over her mouth. Krystal immediately woke up and was startled. She quickly began kicking and fighting back.
When she did that the second figure grabbed her by the legs and held her down whole the first tied the rope around her mouth to keep the cloth in. Krystal tried to scream but it was no use. Then he tied up her wrists and then the ankles.
With all that done he passed her over to the second figure who quickly put her over his shoulder. The first figure pulled out his gun and began leading the way back to their ships. The second figure followed while carrying Krystal.
As they left Krystal noticed the unconscious Falco on the ground outside her door.
She once again tried to let out a scream but it was no use.
The kidnappers made their way back to their point of entry. The first grabbed onto the zip line and then began climbing, his comrade right behind him had more trouble doing so as he had a kicking Krystal on him so he had to manage with one hand.
But the two made it back to their ships. The second figure threw Krystal into the back of his.
The two kidnappers flew off away from Great Fox with Krystal as their hostage.
