Ok, after this chapter, if I don't get 5 or more reviews, I'm done with this story, until I have five, then I'll start again.

I woke up again to the sound of Fox talking on the radio.

"Alright. We're almost there. Get ready to pull into the Great Fox, and be home."

For a moment I thought I was back on earth, in the car with my mom, listening to one of those Books-on-tape things. But I wasn't. I was in space, with no home other than this great big spaceship in the middle of nowhere. Literally. We weren't even close to any planets or stars.

I groaned and pulled my head up sluggishly. I was even more tired than I had been before I fell asleep, somehow. It was killing me.

My head started kicking in, which was odd, because my head never works until, like an hour after I wake up. Not thirty seconds.

Falco was grumbling to himself, something about a cat and missing someone and Fox being a douche bag for dragging him out into the middle of nowhere for a rescue mission.

I tried ignoring Falco and concentrating on the whole Head-in-the-game-way-too-early thing.

As we were pulling into the hanger, I got an Idea of what it might be. I didn't have time to test it though, cuz Falco turned off the ship and popped open the overhead hatch.

"Alright, get out."

Geez. Blunt much?

"Alright just give me a second" I said.

"Alright. One. Now get out."

I scowled at Falco and muttered under my breath "Geez, who shit in your Sugar Puffs?"

I grabbed my stuff and got out of the ship, quite an accomplishment if you have all the crap to carry around that I did. Once I got out of the ship, I set my stuff down and stretched.

There was an amazing smell coming from somewhere, but I couldn't tell where. I heard Falco come up behind me and so I asked, "What's that smell?"

"Oh, thats food, y'know, the stuff you eat? Your room's this way." I was confused. Fox had only told me about Falco, Slippy, and Pepper, but nobody else. General Pepper wouldn't be on the ship, and all the others are in the room. 'Oh well' I thought. I started following Falco.

We walked up a flight (or metal spiral staircase) of stairs and walked down a hall. Falco walked like a man on a mission and didn't seem like he was going to stop at any of the doors, when abruptly, he stopped. He grabbed the door handle on the right and opened it.

"This is your room. Come to the kitchen in a coupl'a minutes for some grub."

He pushed me into the room and shut the door. I set my stuff down and realized I didn't know where the kitchen was. I turned and opened the door, and looked down the hallways, but Falco was already gone.

I shut my door again. "Well shit. How am I supposed to make it to the kitchen if I don't freaking know where it is?" I said to myself. "Oh well, I'll figure it out."

I surveyed my room. It appeared to be some sort of storage space at some point in time. It had empty boxes stacked everywhere, and there was a mattress, but it was flipped up onto its side and pushed against the wall.

I sighed. "Home sweet home."

After stacking all the boxes into a corner and setting the bed in a place kinda out of the way, I decided to be done redecorating for a day. I headed out my door and down the hall to try to find the kitchen from the way I came in.

I found my way back to the hanger by memory, and the smell I had smelled earlier was getting better.

It had smelled good when I left, it smelled amazing now. I could smell it by breathing through my mouth, it was so strong. It smelled like Jambalaya and Bratwursts and something mildly sweet all mixed together. It smelled like Heaven on Earth, and being a swimmer, I can appreciate food like that.

I followed my nose, feeling like I was floating down the halls, swallowing constantly to get the saliva out of my mouth. I soon arrived, my stomach grumbling and my head spinning with hunger. I must have looked hilarious, because as soon as I entered, the Star Fox team looked at me simultaneously. Falco burst out laughing, and Fox tried to hide a grin. Slippy just looked at me with a grin and looked back at the table.

"HAHAHA! Oh man! You should see your FACE! Aw, shit! Awwww shit! Priceless!" Falco kept laughing, and I just drifted my way over to the table, unable to process him laughing at me.

"Yeah," Fox said, "I forgot how people get when they smell this particular dish. Its an amazing recipe developed by the natives of Ceronia, but a stove is no match to a full out fire, so this wont be as strong as it would be."

"Thas' Fine" I wheezed out, and got back to drooling all over the place.

Fox chuckled at me, shaking his head. "Man, you need to taste it. It is AMAZING."

I concentrated long enough to get some of my wit back, "Im HERE to taste it, otherwise I would be... Kinda... Smells good... Hungry... Eat time, please..." My train of thought was hijacked by the smells again.

Falco busted up again, pointing at me.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh man! Hahaha! Oh, your brain just went like PLOOPH." He crossed his eyes and stuck his tongue out the side of his beak. I still didn't care, but this time I processed it.

"Kay, yeah, whatever." I grumbled.

Then I heard a new voice. It was feminine, yet slightly threatening, like, it gave the vibe, 'Don't mess with me or I'll kick your ass.' It said, "Hey boys, what's all the commotion about? It's not like you all to—"

The blue vixen walked out of the door in front of the table, and froze as she saw me standing in the doorway, the Star Fox team facing away from me. She looked startled, but I didn't get why.

"Fox! Falco! Look out!" She yelled, dropping the tray of food she was carrying. Luckily it landed on the table, although I didn't see why I cared about that when there was a streak of yelling Blue Vixen flying at me.

That's not something you see everyday.

My mind quickly went blank. And by that, I mean everything. I dropped to the floor like a rag doll, but apparently the crystal had a reason, cuz' the vixen just kept flying right over me, her yell turing into a startled questioning sound just as quickly.

She kept flying into the hallway, catching herself on the wall. I rolled backwards over my head onto my feet, coming up in a stance facing her, when I realized what I was doing.

This must be another member of Star Fox, which means that if I hurt her, I would have Hell to pay. It also crossed my mind that she was a girl and I wasn't supposed to hurt that particular race. Although I'm not sure if that rule applied to Anthro Fox women, cuz she seemed pretty ready for me to fight back.

She flung at me with controlled accuracy, throwing punches and kicks at me enough that would make my head spin if I had been thinking about it, but I wasn't. I was just reacting. Block, scoop, push leg away, lean, grab fist, pull her past me, block again; this battle was the most intense fight I had ever been in, although I haven't been in very many. It felt like an epic dance, she would gracefully attack, I would effectively, but not-as-gracefully, defend.

I almost felt a connection to her, and I tried to more fully open that connection. Then I realized something.

Somehow she was also attacking with her mind.

My barriers down, she slipped into my mind without a problem, which was a problem, because in her all out assault, she had let down her mental guards. When she made it into my mind, something clicked in my head. It felt like someone had snapped my brain.

I fell to the ground writhing with the biggest headache I had ever felt in my life. It was like someone was forcing a splinter of ice right through the back of my skull. My mouth was locked open in a silent scream, and my I couldn't see anything. The pain continued.

After a good half minute, the pain subsided to a barely bearable throbbing, which still felt like my head was split open, but hey, you get used to it. I noticed the blue vixen was on the floor too, tear streaks down her fur. I felt sorry for her, but when I tried to think of anything, the throbbing got worse.

'What the fuck was that?' I thought as soon as I could capably think without my head exploding. My consciousness was slowly bringing itself out of the tight ball it made around my core. I got up off the floor, which was hard enough in my condition, and started stumbling to my room. I didn't know where any of the other of the team was, and I didn't want to know. I just wanted to get to my bed and I got to the door, I heard a squeak, and then something hitting the floor. It must have been the vixen.

Lucky. At least she can pass out.

I stumbled the way back to my room in a haze, my eyes filling around the edges with red and black, and bright white spots were floating in my vision. The pain was so great that I was soaked by the time I got to my room. I collapsed onto the mattress on the floor, my head pounding. I rolled over and stuck my head off and away from the side. Then I threw up.

I fell back down, and curled up into a tight ball, whimpering in pain. That's how I drifted off to sleep.

K, so I'm sorry about the wait, if any of you were even waiting, it's been finals week and my head has felt like shit for the whole week. Not as bad as Kevin's though. Sorry it's short, but I just needed to get it done, and any ideas you have, please do tell. Also, if any of you could comment and tell me if I should turn Kevin into an Anthro or not, please tell. Right now is the best time to, so if I get two or more yes then I'll do it. Still not continuing till five comments though.
