Part XVII: Sudden Death?
Laser fire flying in multiple directions, Wolf saw his chance and launched a barrage of his lasers after Fox, getting a satisfying grunt from Fox's com he peeled off to find another target. He knew Fox would still be out, but at the moment, he was planning on making a few of Fox's crew retire to their ship and give it up.
"Wolf, help me out here!" Sear called through her com, being taled by not only Slippy, but Peppy as well, apparently the old man had decided to get out of the ship and help out.
Growling low, he looked for one of his ships that wasn't busy, "Leon, you and me to Sear, she needs a bit of help." Wolf growled, using his boost to catch up with Sear's ship.
"I see...you decided to join the party." Sear said with a small laugh as her ship was rocked again, her shields depleting quickly.
"Just hold on Sear, after this I want you back at the base, there's not alot you can do with your shields at their current state." Wolf said into his com, Sear's shields indeed at about 10 max.
"What, afraid I'll expire on you?" She laughed.
"Something like that. Slice, hurry up on Falco already!" Wolf sighed before hearing Falco dejectedly make his way back to the ship with barley any shields.
"Already there, now it's off to finish my score with Krystal." Slice laughed cooly.
Finally getting Slippy and Peppy off of Sear's back, he made sure she went back to their base. 'Good, so far my dream hasn't come true.' Wolf thought to himself.
"Wolf, why don't you just give up! You know you can't win!" Fox growled into his own com.
Wolf laughed before finding his ship getting battered from all sides, "Wha--t's this?" Wolf growled, his shields getting low very quickly despite his trying to dodge around the blasts.
Slippy chuckled, "While you were busy ordering your team about, we decided to converge on you.
Peppy said gravely, "Sorry Wolf, you're coming in your ship or a coffin."
Krystal looked a bit disbelieving, "You're not seriously going to kill him, are you?"
Fox shook his head, visuals and audio to his team only, "No, but we'll make sure he thinks it's going to be that way."
Wolf barrel rolled, looped, and even tried boosting to get away, but nothing was helping him. Suddenly, he saw the bomb hatch open from Slippy's ship. Wolf knew his own shields were too weak to sustain the blast AND keep the ship in tact, so he bit his lip and watched the red, fiery orb come towards him.
"WOLF WATCH IT!" He heard the feminine voice just in time to look at his radar display and gasped in horror, "SEAR, NO!" But it was too late, her ship had launched once again and gone right in front of Wolf's own, taking the full force of the bomb...
