Chapter Four: The Space Dogfight Part I
The roar of an engine could be heard. Multiple engines, in fact. Behind the "Start" line, a blue, hovering machine was ready to speed off. Inside, a big, bulky man was gripping the wheel with his yellow gloves. He wore a blue jumpsuit and a red visor with a golden falcon on it. His eyes couldn't be seen in the shade of the visor, instead, there were white triangles. He wore a yellow scarf around his neck. A metal piece was present on his right shoulder. A smirk was on his face.
A constant ring could be heard and the man pulled out a device that was blinking a blue light. He pressed a button and a hologram of a man popped up.
"Sorry to interrupt your little race, Captain Falcon, but we have serious business. A costly bounty has been placed on some creature named Ridley. It's foreign to us, but we were able to gather some information on it. It's a giant purple space dragon that roams the galaxy. It plays a huge factor in the space pirate army. Heard of it?"
Captain Falcon rubbed his chin. "Sounds familiar... too familiar."
"Here's a picture in case you might know it." The man was replaced by a picture of a purple dragon with claws and teeth as sharp as nails. A face of pure shock appeared on Falcon's face. The device fell from his hand and he sped off in his machine. A shouting voice yelled at the captain, but he didn't pay any attention to it. He kept driving at top speed and started pressing buttons on his wrist. He came upon a turn, still at full speed. Suddenly, the top of the machine flew open and Falcon was ejected from his seat. He flew through the air with nothing below him but water. He did multiple flips and tricks and suddenly disappeared when an orange flash moving at top speeds flew by. The orange flash turned out to be a long, orange ship. It had blue wings and a yellow underbelly. It had green "eyes" at the front of it and fire blasted from behind it.
It changed directions and was now flying upwards to the sky. Inside, Captain Falcon was driving it and trying to figure out Ridley's coordinates.
An armored figure ran through the plains. It was orange, yellow, and red and had a blaster for a hand. The helmet had a translucent green material where a face would be. The orange shoulders were bigger than balloons and the red helmet sat between them. The abdomen and inner thighs were yellow and the blaster was a dark green. The chest plate along with the helmet were red and everything else was orange.
It came upon an orange airship, looking similar to the armored figure's head. A door slid open and it jumped in. The figure sat down in the futuristic machine and took its helmet off, revealing a young woman with blond hair put into a pony tail. She wiped her sweaty eyebrow with her metal wrist and placed the helmet back on.
She spoke with a genderless voice, "It seems Meta Ridley isn't here either..." She started pressing buttons and visuals popped up on the green windshield. "Let's see... he's not there or there. Perhaps he's... there? Really? Well, it's worth a shot." She grabbed hold of the controls and took off. The airship exited the atmosphere and entered space.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" A short, pointy-eared astronaut sat in his motionless spaceship, watching the view outside. He was talking to a small red creature, it's head going up to the spaceman's neck. It had a red stem on the top of its head, connecting it to a leaf. "No one ever sits down to admire what the galaxy has to offer. Space is really a wondrous thing."
"I WILL RIP APART SPACE PIECE BY PIECE YOU FLEA BAG!"
"OVER MY DEAD BODY!"
"THAT WAS MY INTENTION!"
"YOU MAKE ME SICK!"
"YOU MAKE ME SICKER!"
"Fox, please stop arguing with the lesser being."
"HE THREATENED TO RIP APART THE GALAXY, FALCO!"
"IT WASN'T A THREAT IT WAS A PROMISE!"
"Yeah, we'll see about that, Wolf. Now seriously Fox, turn off the codec. His idiocy is giving me a headache."
"No, no, no, I'm not done with him, yet. C'mon Fox, hit me with your best shot."
"Here, Fox, let me help you," Falco reached over and pushed a blue button. "There ya go, problem solved."
"I didn't need your help, Falco."
"Weird because it seems like I have to help you every mission."
"If anything, I help YOU."
They just sat there quietly, focusing on their surroundings. The two animals were cruising inside a huge white ship with "STARFOX" written on the side. They were roaming the galaxy, searching for crimes that may be committed. They finished up with Wolf about a month ago and now he's back. They don't know of his whereabouts, they just know he's out there, waiting for sweet revenge. And they'll be ready. Ready for anything. A few minutes passed by, nothing much happening except anxiety, of course. A new codec opened, and a familiar face popped up.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT, WOLF?!" they both yelled at the gray wolf.
"Just to let you know..." he paused for a while, as if waiting for something. "..." More seconds passed by, making Fox and Falco impatient. They looked at each other, then back at the codec. More seconds passed. "GOSH DARN IT, WHERE'S THE DRAG-" An explosion occurred, shaking the white ship madly. "Just to let you know, I sent a special friend to greet you," the animal started laughing, the volume getting louder and louder. Then he started choking and gagging. "...where's the... darn... button...?" he said in a hoarse voice, the codec immediately shutting off after. By then, the two pilots were gone. In fact, they were already on top of the ship.
"Well if it isn't the clones from Brawl."
"AW HECK NAW!"
"HOW'D YOU EVEN GET HERE?!"
"I can fly, idiot."
"THE NAME'S FALCO, FREAK!"
"Who cares? Just shut up so I can kill you."
"Falco's right, how did you get here?"
"You think I can't use my wings to fly outta Zebes? You guys truly are as dumb as Wolf describes."
Fox and Falco pulled out their blasters, ready to kick some Ridley tail.
The astronaut was still watching the galaxy, the red creature still beside him. An explosion occurred not too far from where their ship was, interrupting their peace.
"Hmm... I wonder what's going on over there," the astronaut grabbed hold of the controls and attempted to start the engine. To his surprise, it wouldn't turn on. "Oh, you've gotta be kidding."
Suddenly, an explosion of their own happened, jarring the astronaut. "Gahhh! Tom, go get the others! Things just got real..." The small red creature saluted and speed-walked down an aisle behind them and turned right. The astronaut hopped off his seat and went down the same aisle, this time going straight. A door could be heard opening and a rainbow of creatures poured out of the right aisle, each having similar characteristics to Tom. There were about twenty of them, all going the same direction the astronaut went.
On the top of the white and pink ship, the astronaut climbed out of a latch. Some of the ship was charred black, mainly because of the giant armored, purple dragon flying around it. The small creatures were coming out of the latch one by one, each following the astronaut as he ran to the edge of the ship.
"Meta Ridley..." he said to himself, clenching his fists.
A/N: Well, since I've already introduced eight characters and I haven't even had a fight scene yet, I decided to split this segment into two parts. And yes, I know, "But dude, Ridley and Meta Ridley are the same character this isn't possible you're stupid and an idiot you're gonna have some hurtful reviews coming your way you stupid idiot that doesn't know anything." Well, all of this will be answered in Part 2. Where's Pit and the Pokemon? Don't worry, we'll get back to them I just have to introduce some new characters. As always, I enjoy the reviews and follows, you guys are the best. Oh, and I've decided I'll include the SSB4 characters, but I'm introducing the Brawl characters first. I have some new stories in mind for the future including a sequel to this story just look at my profile to find them. That's about it... DUECES!
