Part XXII: Die Hard
As the inferno dissipated, Wolf's ship was motionless, the com signal only fuzz when they tried to make contact with him. "Looks like we got him..." Krystal breathed, looking down. Something wasn't right, and she just couldn't put her finger on it.
"I guess we did," Fox sighed, somewhat in relief and some in remorse, he figured he'd just killed not only a rival, but also a friend somehow. It was egging his mind, what else was there to do? Wolf had gone insane...completely off his rocker.
Suddenly, something moved out in space, the wolf like ship shifting it's position before looking slowly at the helpless Great Fox MK II, just like Wolf, only one eye was still working. Not only that, but the eye that was functioning was on the same side as Wolf's good eye, it was almost a creepy similarity.
Suddenly, the com came to life as it showed a bruised and bloody Wolf on the screen, "You can't...get rid of me that easily..." He chuckled darkly before coughing up some blood, which then ran down his muzzle and dripped onto his lap, "Retreat...or I will not hesitate to fire again..." He growled.
Fox blinked, he felt both relieved and terrified. Wolf's life support shouldn't have been working, in fact, he was amazed Wolf was still alive. There was something unnatural about this.
Back in Sargasso, the four crewmembers that had retreated into the hideout were staring wide eyed as Wolf's ship slowly righted itself and aimed it's weapon. "See, he's perfectly fine." Panther remarked, though he couldnt' quite believe it himself. Wolf's ship had taken heavy damage to the back, there was no way it could win a fight if they attacked him from behind.
Fox must have figured that out himself, "If you can retire Krystal, Slippy, and my ships, we'll go away and say we couldn't find you, if we disable your ship, we take you on board and bring you to Corneria for your rightful trial."
"Fine." Wolf said as he spat a little more blood, "Just hurry up." He wasn't feeling too well, he had burns on some of his back and his tail, his eyepatch was staying in place, but just barely. He also felt like his legs were broken, he wouldn't be doing much walking for a while unless he got to sick bay and got healed up.
