"Wait Fox what are you talking about?" asked Peppy.
"I have to go back." said Fox." I have to find Wolf."
"Fox you can't go back you were almost killed." Said Slippy.
"Fox I'd rather we just put this all behind us." Said Krystal.
"I can't." said Fox.
"What happened?" asked Krystal." What's made you change your mind?"
"I finally realized I have to face who I am. What I'm supposed to do." Told Fox." If I don't there's no future for us." He said taking Krystal's hand.
"I guess you right." Said Krystal as she hung her head." But Fox I don't want to lose you again." Then she hugged Fox." I'm going with you." She said.
"No." said Fox." I don't know what's going to happen, so I'd rather have you here where it's safe."
"Fox buddy." Said Falco as he put his arm around Fox." I think that bullet might have messed with your head a little." He said poking Fox's head." You should lie down and-"
"No Falco." Said Fox stopping him." I know what I have to do, but I won't ask anyone else's help in it." Then Fox turned and began to walk off.
"Fox talk to me buddy." Said Falco as he walked in front of Fox." You're going to walk off into the jaws of death."
"I understand that." Said Fox and then he pushed past Falco.
"Boy he's touchy." Said Falco as he sagged his shoulders. Just then Krystal walked past Falco." Where are you going?" he asked.
"I'm going with Fox." She told.
"W-W-What?" stuttered Falco confused. Then Krystal walked out following Fox. Then Slippy walked after her." Slippy you to?"
Then Peppy walked over to Falco. The old hare leaned up and put his arm around Falco.
"Falco." He said." It's about responsibility." There comes in time in life when one must take fate into one's own hands and embrace their destiny." Then Peppy patted Falco on the back and then turned to meet up with the rest of the group, leaving Falco in the aftermath all alone.
"FINE!" shouted Falco as he waved his arms in the air." Let's all go crazy." Then he ran to catch-up with them." Hey wait up."
Meanwhile far off in the deep reaches of space was the Star Wolf team. The three wolfen's all rode next to each other in a line with Wolf at the front.
"So Wolf?" asked Leon's voice over the communications system." How are you feeling?"
"Never better." Replied Wolf.
"Are you sure?" asked Leon." You may have just killed Fox McCloud, the rival you've had for years now."
"Not everything in life can go as we want it to Leon." Told Wolf." Yes perhaps he's dead because I killed him or maybe he's alive and will now seek me out."
"That's risky thinking." Commented Panther.
"Nothing's every that simple." Said Wolf. The trio then continued to fly on for a while.
Then after some silence Wolf's communications system went on.
"Hello Wolf." Said a voice. The Star Wolf team was al shocked as to who they heard.
"Hello McCloud." Replied Wolf with a devious smile." I hope you're feeling well."
"Never better." Said Fox's voice as Star Wolf continued to fly on into space." I'm back and I'm ready to roll."
"Are you sure your up for it?" asked Wolf.
"Oh yeah." Said Fox." And I've been thinking a lot about what you said. About purpose and our destinies being intertwined."
"You finally understand it all." Said Wolf.
"That's right." Said Fox." And I'm ready."
"Very well then." Said Wolf." Where shall we meet and o battle then?" Several moments of silence followed after the question.
"Fichina." Told Fox.
"Very well then." Said Wolf." We'll see you there." Then Wolf shut off communications and then quickly turned his arwing around and headed in the opposite direction.
"Wolf, what are you doing?" asked Panther as Wolf flew off.
"Fichina." Replied Wolf." To face Star Fox."
"We shouldn't rush into this too quickly." Said Panther as he and Leon flew over to catch up to Wolf." What if it's a trap?"
"It's not." Said Wolf." After this it couldn't end with such a dirty trick."
"What if they're not there when you arrive?" asked Leon.
"Then I'll wait." Replied Wolf." He knows I'm coming, he'll be there." Moments of silence followed after." I'm not asking you to come if you don't want to." Said Wolf to the two." But that's where I'm going, if your two scared stay behind."
Then Wolf engaged his boosters and blasted off into space towards the sight of his and Fox's next battle.
Leon and Panther looked to each other in the aftermath.
"I'm not afraid of anything." Said Panther.
"The team that stays together fights together." Added Leon. Then the two did the same and blasted off to catch up with Wolf.
Meanwhile with the Star Fox team.
Fox sat in the bridge of Great Fox after getting off the line with Wolf. He placed the phone then and then turned around in his chair.
And when he did he saw his whole team sitting there looking at him.
Fox gave a cheery smile at seeing them there, that they all returned.
"It's not easy being your friend." Said Falco as he approached Fox." We've no problem dying with you, so don't hesitate to ask." Then Falco extended his arm and pulled Fox into a bro hug.
"Thanks." Said Fox as he pulled away from Falco's embrace." But I have no plans on anyone dying today."
"The young rarely do." Commented Peppy.
"We're all with you Fox." Said Slippy as he walked up and gave Fox a bro hug as well.
"Till the end." Said Krystal as she stood next to Fox. Then she slowly wrapped her hands around his.
"Thank you, my friends." Said Fox.
Great Fox then continued on its way to Fichina.
Sorry if it's a little short but I wanted to end it like this before the big battle. Plus I'm going to be distracted with the holidays for a few days. But please be patient, comment, and I'll get back to you all shortly.
Happy Thanksgiving.
