Alright, fully focusing on making this chapter awesome. By the way, I promised fainting in the last chapter, and it never made it in, so I'll be implementing that somewhere here.
By now, the Star Fox team were half way to Katina. Everybody had their bags packed. Everybody but Fox, who held down the fort while the others were packing, and R.O.B., who wasn't even coming.
Fox was in Krystal and his room, stuffing a few changes of clothes in a small, black suitcase. After a few moments on sitting on the suitcase, he finally got it zipped and hauled it back to the main area of the Great Fox, tail held up high.
When he reached the main area, where the rest of the team were, his tail drooped and his ears flattened. Falco and Slippy were rolling around on the floor of the Great Fox, yelling and fighting. He looked around. Krystal was hiding behind R.O.B., a random frying pan at her feet. Her eyes were stricken with terror. Fox assumed she must have dove for her consciousness and hit behind R.O.B. while Falco and Slippy were having a wrestling match. He looked around once again, and saw Peppy laying on the ground a few feet from the mess of bird and toad. He must have been knocked over seconds ago.
Fox sighed and dropped his suitcase, walking slowly over to them, the most serious look on his face. He dodged a punch, and grabbed the avian and toad's heads. They paused and looked at Fox, who had the worst of expressions on his face. This will be fun. He thought as he smacked their heads together. The both fell back when Fox let go, and just kind of laid there, holding their heads.
"Owww, Fox!" Slippy cried, as Falco just laid there silently.
Fox stood. "Can you two just behave for 10 minutes?! I leave to pack my bags, and I come back to a wresting match and my wife almost lost her head!" Fox walked over to R.O.B. and picked up the skillet, turning back to look at them. "Where'd you even get this from?" He looked at the skillet. "We don't even own a skillet!"
Falco stood, still holding his head, eyes shut closed. "Fox, it was all Slippy!"
"Was not! You tackled me!" Slippy said in that annoying voice.
Fox dropped the skillet. (Gotta return that at some point. He thought to himself as it fell.) He rubbed his temples. "I don't care who started it, I ended it!"
"Painfully, at that." Slippy muttered.
Fox walked over to Peppy, who was trying to stand. He was a bit dazed, but otherwise, took no physical damage. Fox extended his arm, which the hare took, and Fox pulled him up. "You okay, old-timer?"
"I'll be better when those two are separated." Peppy said as he sat back down in his chair.
"Won't be too long, Peppy." R.O.B. said. "We're half an hour away fro-" he paused and looked down at his leg, which Krystal was grasping, still stricken with terror. He didn't move his leg, and just looked back up at Fox and Peppy. "We're half an hour away from Katina." He finished.
Fox walked over to Krystal, and pried her off of R.O.B.'s leg, carrying her over to her seat. "You okay, Krystal?"
Krystal seemed to snap out of it when she heard her name. "Am I still alive?!" She exclaimed.
Fox nodded, and Krystal sighed. "Phew, I thought I was going to lose my head. One second, everything's fine. The next, I find myself diving for cover, frying pans flying all over the place."
"Yeah... any idea where that particular frying pan came from?" Fox asked, still curious about the origins of the mysterious frying pan.
Krystal shrugged. "No clue."
The avian, known only as Falco, returned to his seat, and Slippy was just standing up, also holding his head where it had collided with Falco's. He waddled to his seat and sat down.
Fox sighed. "Might as well take a look at the security footage. This will be fun." He said as he sat down and tapped a few buttons on the panel in front of him.
Seconds later, a video of the room popped up on the large display.
Everything was fine, Slippy's mouth was moving, but they hadn't installed a microphone yet, so nobody really knows what was said. Falco grew more and more frustrated in the video, and tackled Slippy, who retaliated. This continued until Fox saw Falco pull out a frying pan. (totally random frying pan, at that.) He threw it at Slippy, and Krystal was diving for her life. Peppy stood up, and ran over to them, but was swept off his feet, and fell flat on his back. Everybody let out an "ooh!" at that point in the video. The wrestling match continued until Fox's head appeared in the corner of the video. Fox paused it, and looked at Slippy and Falco, giving them that stare.
They both looked horrified at Fox's expression. This pleased Fox, and he turned back, facing the panel, shaking his head. He tapped a few more buttons, and the team's position on a Lylat map appeared on the large display, showing that they were only a few hundred miles from Katina. Fox sat back, and looked out the window. He could see Katina getting closer with every passing moment.
About 15 minutes later, things started getting shaky, which signaled that they were entering Katina's atmosphere. Everybody held on to their seats as the Great Fox made it's descent on the planet. Everything was normal, just as the team had hoped. After a few seconds, the ship stopped shaking, meaning they had landed, and the gravity in the ship that was pulling them downward, released, making it a million times easier to breathe. "We have arrived on Katina." R.O.B. spoke seconds later. Fox pressed a button on the panel in front of him, and they heard a door let out some steam and creak open a few feet away.
"Let's head out." Fox said, grabbing his suitcase. He led them out on to the surface of Katina. "Best get hotel rooms." He said, pausing to look around the planet. He had a lot of memories of this place. The Lylat Wars, Bill. Speaking of the pup, I wonder where he's at. Fox thought to himself.
As if the world was reading his thoughts, he heard a familiar voice calling his name. He turned just in time to catch the face of somebody who tackled him to the ground in a friendly hug. It was his old buddy from the Cornerian Flight Academy, Bill Grey.
Bill stood up, helping Fox up. "What are you guys doing on Katina?" Bill asked, looking at his old friends.
"Vacation. We're going around the Lylat system for a few weeks." Fox said, brushing the dust off his flight jacket.
"Vacation, eh?"
Fox nodded.
"Well, cool! I hope to catch up with you guys before you leave."
"Yeah, we'll keep in touch."
Bill nodded. "Well, I've gotta get back. I just saw the Great Fox landing and came to greet you. See ya later." He called as he turned and ran back to the building he came out of.
All five of them waved goodbye, and continued to the nearest hotel.
The team ordered 4 rooms. One for Falco, Peppy, Slippy and then Krystal and Fox would share a room.
Well, to be continued, I guess. We're not done on Katina just yet, so stay tuned. I ran out of time. Before I go, I want to address some reviews.
First one if from bryan mccloud who suggested:
"how about adding katt meeting falco at katina and deciding to tag along...lol. also add in amanda as well who met slippy at aquas and becomes his girlfriend.
and add in venom as well where their ship's propulsion malfunction temporary.. ._.
also i can tell star wolf will appear in the story too.
it would be fun to see star wolf showing star fox the places on venom."
Thanks for the tips for including Katt and Amanda. That will most definitely happen. As for visiting Venom, not sure about that one. ;) As for Star Wolf, yes they will be appearing at some point, and they might show Star Fox around Venom, if that gets thrown in. bryan also included a number of corrections, and for those, I thank you.
Second one is from Stallion6 of Deviantart, who said:
"Hope Slippy and Falco don't tear each other's throats out arguing!"
Well... that's already almost happened. He actually was the one who gave me the idea of doing that little bit at the beginning, so kudos to him, and thanks for the epic idea.
Well, that's it, people. Thanks for reading, and until next time, see ya later!
