Part XXIV: The field evens
Wolf's ship, still severely damaged as well as his physical body, tried catching his breath from the attack he'd done on Slippy's ship. All the while dodging a various barage of laser fire from Fox and Krystal. He didn't like how they kept firing at him, and it was pissing him off to a goodly extent.
"Fox, get behind Wolf and try getting him to go past me, I'm going to try and get a lock onto his ship with a smart bomb...that should put his ship out of commission." Krystal said into the com from her ship to Fox's, so Wolf and his team wouldn't know what they were planning. Fox nodded on the visual ship to ship and rolled straight towards Wolf's ship.
Wolf, having not expected such a bold move, smirked and fired upon Fox's Arwing, jetting backwards as he kept his line of fire on the ship. However, as he neared a certain distance he noted a "Lock On Warning" glaring at him from his control panel. Looking back he saw the bomb hatch on Krystals ship begin opening. He knew if that bomb hit him he'd be toast, so he had to think outside of the box. As the glowing red orb was about to launch, Wolf sped over to Krystals ship, grabbed it by the back, holding on as he aimed it at Fox's ship and watched in glorious satisfaction as it went straight for the unsuspecting fox.
Fox looked stunned as the orb lanced it's way through the vaccuum of space, straight towards him before it exploded in a glorious inferno. Fox's cry of alarm was clear on all channels as his arwing was engulfed in the raging flames. When the inferno cleared, Fox's ship was scorched and looked to be in about the same condition as Wolf's.
"FOX!" Krystal cried in horror as she saw what the smart bomb had done to her loves ship, trying to use the thrusters to break free of Wolf's titanic grasp, only to fall short of it on the horrendous whining of the ship's metallic hull as it was crunched, just short of the ship's implosion he stopped and Krystal yelled frantically for Fox to move.
Suddenly, the arwing lurched forward and spun, after a short time the same amazing transformation that had happened to Wolf's wolfen had happened to Fox's arwing, except the Arwing looked more along the lines of good then Wolf's demonic looking ship. Opening his eyes, Fox growled as he wiped some blood from his forehead and onto the red flight suit he wore just as Krystal's ship retreated quickly to the safety of the Great Fox MK II.
"So, you survived..." Wolf commented, glaring at the ship across from him after it had moved into position. He was wary of Fox's ship, it looked just as powerful as his own felt, though he didn't know if there was a certain weak spot on Fox's ship.
"I believe so." Fox commented cooly, his fur a lighter tan after an light aura surrounded his ship. He was glad that Krystal had made it back to the base, and now he knew why Wolf was so upset...perhaps Sear was his girlfriend, perhaps it was just a simple love, but love nonetheless. "You still have to retire me to gain your freedom Wolf, so what's it going to be?" He said in a stoic manner.
Without words coming from Wolf's already bloodstained muzzle, his mouth twisted into a frown as his ship launched at Fox's, ready to melee with the ship as well as fight to his best ability with any and all of his weapons.
