Sometime later Star Wolf had arrived on Fichina. They flew at a quick speed and had arrived there in record time. But sadly for Wolf they had arrived much earlier than Star Fox, so the three found themselves waiting there for a long time.
So they exited their Wolfens and sat around casually waiting for their opponents.
Wolf leaned on his wing smoking a cigar. He inhaled and blew the smoke into the air.
Leon sat on his wing cleaning his pistol. He wiped it back and forth with a cloth.
Panther stood there with his arms crossed, strumming his fingers.
Just then there came a loud ringing from their Wolfen's. Leon leaned into his cockpit and observed the radar. It was blinking and showed four red dots coming in on their position.
Then Leon looked up and turned to Wolf." There here." He said.
"Finally." Said Wolf as he pulled his cigar out of his mouth and turned to the sky.
And as he looked up into the bright blue sky he saw something. He saw four ships, four arwings flying towards them.
Wolf smiled a devious smile of joy and put his cigar back in his mouth.
At that time Leon and Panther jumped into their arwings. The two then prepared to take off. But then their eyes wandered and they noticed Wolf was still standing outside.
"Wolf what the hell are you doing?" yelled Panther.
Wolf didn't answer but he took a step forward. Then he raised his arms up and continued to look up at the sky. Then he leaned his head back.
The four arwings came roaring down at Star Wolf. Leon and Panther prepared to take off. They engaged their boosters and took off into the sky.
At that time the arwings fired lazers down upon them, just as Leon and Panther touched off the ground.
But Wolf stood there with his arms extended in the air. The lazers came down and hit the ground around him, but Wolf did not move. He stood there with a smile on his face, even as the lazers fired down upon him and the ground exploded around him.
Leon and Panther just took off and escaped the lazer fire and flew into the air. Once they did the arwings flew after them.
Wolf then dropped his arms and watched the arwings passing over his head. He counted them one, two, thre. Then finally the fourth.
When the fourth flew overhead time appeared to slow down and Wolf gazed upon the pilot of that arwing. And the pilot looked down at him.
It was Fox. He flew over sideways so he could look down at Wolf.
Then Fox completely flew overhead and past Wolf. The wind blew so fast it knocked Wolf's cigar out of his mouth.
Wolf followed Fox with his eyes up to the sky. Then Wolf turned and jumped into his Wolfen.
He jumped into the cockpit and turned on his wolfen. Then wolf turned on his thrusters and took off into the sky, following after Fox.
Then wolf began to fire his blasters at Fox. Fox dodged left to right avoiding the fire at all cost. Then Fox made a hard right and Wolf quickly followed.
While Fox and Wolf engaged in a dogfight Leon and Falco engaged as well.
Falco flew up and followed Leon and began firing blasters. Leon dodged left and right avoiding the fire. Then suddenly Leon quickly turned around and faced Falco. Leon then began firing his blasters at Falco. But then Falco did a barrel roll and avoided the lazer fire then Falco engages his boosters and flew straight at Leon. Then Falco shifted up and over Leon.
Leon then turned his Wolfen around and gave chase.
Meanwhile Fox made a hard right and Wolf continued to follow firing his blasters as he did. Fox continued to dodge, keeping his cool as he waited for the right moment.
But Wolf was becoming aggravated.
"You cannot run forever." He said as he began to fire more aggressively.
Fox moved his arm and placed his hand over a big red button, then suddenly he turned around and faced Wolf and began firing his own blasters.
"That's it." Said Wolf as Fox turned and came at him. Then Wolf continued to fire. The two fired at each other, lazers flying all over lighting up the sky.
The blasters flew past Fox, but some flew by and scratched his arwing. Wolf's wolfen took some damage as well. But Fox kept flying forward then when he got close enough he slammed down on the red button.
Then a bomb flew out from his blasters and at Wolf.
Wolf was shocked as he saw the bomb fly right at him. But then he quickly steered off to the right. The bomb flew and exploded just behind him. He wasn't hit but the impact flew through the air and rattled the Wolfen. Wolf began to lose control of his wolfen as it flew out of control.
Fox veered off, his arwing didn't take on a lot of impact. But as Fox grabbed onto his steering wheel he looked up out of his cockpit and saw a rattling wolfen coming right at him.
Fox tried to maneuver away but he couldn't control his arwing, he looked up in shock as Wolf continued to fly at him.
Then Wolf flew over and the arwing and wolfen crashed. The two crashed and flew out of control and began spiraling to the ground below.
The two screamed in their cockpits as they flew towards the ground with no control over their ships.
"FOX!" screamed Krystal.
"WOLF!" screamed Leon. Everyone looked on as the two beaten and fiery ships flew to the ground and crashed.
Everyone waited in a long standoff as they waited after the crash.
Fire and smoke rose up into the sky.
Fox sat in his crashed cockpit. He was bleeding slightly and his head was bounding. But smoke was beginning to fill the cockpit. He lifted his legs up and kicked the glass cockpit. Then he kicked it again and cracked it open.
Then Fox stumbled out onto the ground below. He took a deep breath and then rose to his feet. He coughed from the fumes but then began breathing the clean air. Then Fox rested his head on his arwing.
Just then someone reached around and grabbed Fox's neck. Then it slammed his head onto the arwing.
Fox fell forward onto the ground.
In his daze he turned around and saw Wolf standing on top of his arwing. He looked just as bad as Fox with blood and cuts all over him.
Then Wolf jumped down and stumbled towards Fox. He reached down and grabbed Fox by his collar.
Then Wolf punched Fox in the face, then a second time. Then Wolf straightened Fox out and looked him in the face.
"You will beg McCloud." He said. Then Wolf punched him again sending Fox to the ground.
Fox groaned as he lay there, Wolf hovered over him. Then he slowly reached down to grab Fox again.
Fox looked in front of him and saw a rock only inches away from him. Fox reached out and grabbed the rock as Wolf grabbed him.
Then suddenly Fox spun around and hit Wolf in the face with the rock.
Wolf spit blood from his mouth and stumbled back onto the ground.
Then Fox rose to his feet.
"Get up bitch!" he yelled to Wolf. Wolf rolled on the ground and then rose to his feet.
Then Wolf ran up and punched Fox in the face. Then he grabbed him and kneed him in the stomach. Just then Fox elbowed Wolf in the stomach, then a second time. Then Fox stood up and punched Wolf in the face. Then Fox swung around and tried to roundhouse kick Wolf. But Wolf leaned back dodging the attack.
Then Wolf ran forward and tackled Fox. The two fell over onto the ground and then began rolling around.
The two punched and kicked and screamed at each other. Wolf raised his arm and punched Fox in the ribs, then Fox punched Wolf in the head. The two continued to beat each other as they rolled all across the ground kicking up dirt as they went.
But then as they rolled they stopped for a moment for the two to realize what was below them. They looked over and saw a long, steep hill below them.
Then the two turned and began to fall down that hill. They stopped their combat as they rolled grew apart from each other as they fell.
Fox smashed his back against the ground and then bounced on down the hill.
Wolf landed on his side and then flew off downhill.
The two kept on rolling until the very bottom when they slid through the dirt and landed right next to each other.
The two slowly picked their head up from the ground and then looked at each other.
Then they quickly jumped to their feet to continued combat.
At that time Falco, Krystal, and Slippy flew down to the ground to find Fox. Leon and Panther did the same for Wolf.
They landed on the ground next to the crash site. Then they saw the signs of the fight ensuing. They began to follow it along.
Fox punched Wolf in the face, Wolf stumbled back. Then Fox ran up and kicked Wolf in the chest. But then Wolf grabbed Fox's leg and then slammed Fox to the ground. Wolf stood over Fox and brought his foot up then tried to stomp down on Fox. But Fox quickly rolled out of the way and back onto his feet.
He rolled behind Wolf and then kicked him in the back of the leg, then a second time. When he went to try it a third time Wolf caught his leg.
Then Wolf brought his elbow down on Fox's knee. Fox let out a great cry. Then Wolf head-butted Fox. Then Fox stumbled back.
Wolf walked up and punched him in the face, then a second time, then a third time. Fox felt dizzy and began to twirl around.
Then Wolf walked up and grabbed Fox, holding him by his collar. Then he leaned back to Fox him again. But then Fox reached up and punched Wolf in the side of his face.
It was the hardest hit Wolf had ever taken. It was so hard it knocked him back onto the ground. Fox did the same and dropped to one knee.
Wolf too was now feeling dizzy. He sat on the ground his arms stretched out behind him. Fox rested his head on his knee.
The two rivals then sat there and looked at each other for the longest time. They could see the damage they'd done to each other.
They were beaten and bloodied with cuts and torn cloths, Fox's knee was in excruciating pain, Wolf's vision was impaired.
Neither of the two had any real strength to finish the fight so they just sat there for the longest time.
After a few moments others began to rise on the scene.
Krystal, Falco, and Slippy came up behind Fox while Leon and Panther came up behind Wolf.
The groups then ran to their fallen leaders. The Star Fox team crowded around Fox.
"Fox, Fox are you alright?" asked Krystal as she grabbed Fox's head and had him look at her. But Fox's eyes gazed past her at Wolf.
"Yea, I'm fine." He replied.
As he looked over at Wolf Leon and Panther stood on both his sides and grabbed him. They grabbed his legs and held onto his back and the two hoisted him up.
Then the two began to walk off with Wolf. At that moment Falco stood up and pointed his pistol at them.
Star Wolf stopped at the sight, Panther and Leon's arms were being used to carry Wolf they couldn't reach for their guns. They were completely defenseless.
"Falco don't." said Fox's voice. Everyone looked over to Fox.
Krystal leaned down and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and stood him up.
"What?" asked Falco confused.
"Let them go." Said Fox. Falco looked from Fox to Star Wolf confused. But then Falco listened to his friend and lowered his gun. Star Wolf rested at ease.
Then Leon and Panther began to move off but then Wolf raised his hand stopping them. He took a deep breath and then spoke.
"Well done McCloud." He said in panted breaths." You put up one hell of a fight." Fox gave Wolf a nod.
"Let's hope it's just as good next time." Said Fox with a smile. Wolf gave a slight chuckle in reply. Then he put his index finger to his head and then saluted Fox.
Then Star Wolf turned and walked off.
"Until next time." Said Fox. Then Star Fox stayed and watched Star Wolf carry their leader away.
"C'mon Fox." Said Krystal." Let's get you to the healing bay."
"Yes let's." said Fox with a groan as Krystal helped him walk." I might be out of action for a while now."
"Don't worry Fox." Said Slippy." I'm sure you'll be fine." But then Falco stood before Fox.
"Fox why did you stop me?" he asked.
"I couldn't let you kill him." Told Fox.
"Why?" asked Falco.
"It's his purpose." Said Krystal speaking for Fox. Fox looked over to Krystal with a smile.
"That's right." He said. Then Fox and Krystal walked past Falco who had a very confused look on his face.
Slippy walked up next to Falco.
"I just don't understand any of it Slippy." Said Falco rubbing his head.
"Neither do I." replied Slippy.
Meanwhile Leon and Panther loaded Wolf into the back of Leon's arwing. Then Leon entered the cockpit and prepared to take off.
As he did Wolf moved his face over to the window and peered out at the ground below.
He saw Krystal carrying Fox.
At that time Fox patted Krystal on the shoulder.
"Wait a moment." He said. Then Fox turned his head and watched the Wolfen take off into the air.
Wolf watched as he saw Fox become a tiny blur on the ground and Fox watched until he saw that Wolfen become nothing but a small dot in the sky.
Then Fox took a deep breath.
"Alright." He said to Krystal" Let's go home." Then Krystal turned and continued to carry Fox off.
But that would not be the last of their rivalry. Wolf and Fox would do battle many times over long after that day.
The End
