Here's chapter 56. This chapter focuses on the Star Fox characters that haven't appeared in several episodes.
Back in Tokyo, the inhabitants of the Lylat star system were in their apartment, everyone was surprised, although unlike the members of Star Fox who looked a little worried, the members of Star Wolf were angry, or at least Wolf and Leon were, since Panther was more neutral about it. At that time they were having a discussion about what would happen from now on for all of them. Since Star Fox seeing that the Mobians didn't mention them, they didn't have to worry about being wanted, while Star Wolf thought it was better to be safe than sorry and go somewhere else before anyone found out about them.
That provoked a discussion among all those present, except Rob, who remained apart from the others listening to the entire discussion, he could see that both sides had their point. But he was more inclined to the Star Fox position, not only because he was a member of said team, but because it was a more sensible option. Since if they left it would be more difficult to locate them, even if they carried the communicators, since these, although they were used to communicate, didn't mark the location where they were, so they used it, so if Star Wolf left and they didnt answer them , they would not be able to locate them in the event of a serious emergency for which they had to be prepared.
Even the animosity was going from bad to worse, it even seemed that Fox and Wolf and on the other hand Falco and Leon wanted to start a punch fight, but they didn't get to that point, because when it was about to start; Peppy, Slippy and Panther got in to prevent things from getting worse and worse, since similar things happened between them in the past, and it was not the time to repeat things like that, since they had bigger problems at the time.
"Guys, calm down," Slippy said.
"We don't have time for this," Panther said.
"You'd better stay apart for a few hours. This will calm them down a bit," said Peppy.
Knowing that it was time, Rob launched a small non-lethal laser beam at the fox, the pheasant, the wolf and the chameleon that left them unconscious, that beam had been installed by the toad in the robot a few weeks ago to be used in situations like these, and this first use worked perfectly.
Fortunately the rabbit, the toad and the panther managed to prevent the others from hitting the ground. It was better to take them to their respective rooms. Peppy, who despite his advanced age still had quite a bit of strength, was able to first carry Falco to his room and then Fox. Panther on his side did the same with his companions, first carrying Fox. Leon and then to Wolf. Once locked in two separate rooms, Panther began to watch the door where his companions were. Peppy did the same with his team.
Minutes passed, when finally Fox, Falco, Wolf and Leon woke up. First they were a bit dizzy as a side effect of the lightning. But other than that all four were fine. When the dizziness finally passed, and realizing that they were in a room and that each one was only with their teammate (Fox with Falco and Wolf with Leon) they decided to leave the room, only to realize that it was locked from the outside. On both sides they started knocking on the door, but there was no response from anyone, all was silence outside the room, as if there was no one apart from the four of them.
While in the two rooms, both groups kept knocking on the doors while saying to let them out, a sheet of paper slipped under both doors. When they saw what the paper said, this bothered them, since it was mentioned that no one would leave the rooms until they calmed down. Since it was not the time for arguments and fights that could even draw the attention of other people who were in the other rooms of the building. So if they had to stay there until night if they didn't calm down, then it would be like this. In those moments, Wolf and Leon wished they had their weapons to smash the door and get out of there.
Since they had no other choice, they sat on the beds in their respective rooms.
Fox and Falco lay down on the bed next to each other. Sometimes to relax they used to do that. Fox put his head on Falco's chest as Falco wrapped him in a hug. Since they had started dating and whenever they were stressed, this relaxed them quite a bit. Being as close as possible to the person they loved made them forget anything. That still surprised Falco, since for many years he always refused to form a relationship with someone, since according to him he was a free bird who did not need to be attached to anyone, if he had been told in the past that they would have a relationship with his partner, who was also the team leader, he wouldn't have believed it back then, but he didn't regret what they had lived through together since they became a couple.
And there is something that Falco would have wanted to try, and that is that he would not be the third person who would become Fox's ex-partner, since his boyfriend had already gone through two relationships that had ended. The first wasn't such a bad breakup, as it was amicable, but the second relationship did leave Fox depressed for several months, even Falco believing Fox might take his own life if left alone. That genuine concern that he felt for the fox, mixed with the feeling of wanting to see him happy again, was what made him realize that he had feelings for him, although he didn't know since when he had felt this. That's why when he managed to restore his happiness, and asked him out, to become what would later be his relationship, he promised himself that he would be the character that would make Fox happy for the rest of his life.
In the other room were Wolf and Leon. Neither of them said anything, but to anyone who could see them, they knew they were very angry, and those two were very dangerous in that mood. Although Leon would be worse than Wolf in that regard. Leon had a very dark past compared to the other members of Star Wolf, something that only the members of the team know, and Leon doesn't regret anything he did, since he did things from robbery, kidnapping and even torturing people to kill them in the slowest or sadistic way possible. Even though no one knew about it, he kept memories of all his victims so as not to forget what for him were precious memories of his favorite pastime. Although he was no longer engaged in that at present, if they pressed him they could return to his old ways.
And what's more, when Leon and Wolf met; Leon was the most feared person in the bar where they first met. It could be said that they didn't get off to a good start at first, but in a melee they had, Leon was able to admit that Wolf was equal to him in his fighting methods. And that he had even realized that Wolf didn't hesitate to hurt if he had the chance. Neither left the other injured because they had made a pact that it would be a hand-to-hand fight, without cheating or anything to see the other's capabilities in combat. That meeting was what caused them to end up becoming part of a team in the end, and although Leon would never openly admit it, he cares a lot about Wolf and Panther, but the reason he would never say it is so that nobody think you are weak.
Wolf for his part, was very thoughtful. Three months had passed since they had left their star system. Although he didn't care about most of those who were there, there was one person he was very concerned about. Though he hadn't admitted it to anyone. He didn't even tell the teammates about him. This person he was worried about came from a planet that was far away from the Lylat star system, which is called Cerinia. This girl had dated Fox first, but they had a bitter breakup, then she dated Panther, but they also broke up, albeit in a more friendly way, this was a vixen with blue and white fur, with blue eyes. She had tribal tattoos on her arms and legs; and she was currently the youngest member of the Star Wolf team, the only girl in the group, and the newest member of the team.
Her name was Krystal and she was Wolf's girlfriend. It was a bit strange that they dated, since everyone believed that Wolf was not the romantic type who would get to have a girlfriend at some point in his life, while no one believed that after two relationships had ended, Krystal would enter a third relationship. But in the end it happened, as Krystal sort of brought about a positive change in Wolf. Even he always showed her love for her in different ways, he was protective of her, although not to the point of leaving her isolated from everything, and in battle they both made a good team, together. Although they hadn't been intimate with each other yet, since Krystal didn't feel ready, Wolf respected her and was content to just hold her hand, hug her, or kiss her.
He wondered what he might be doing at the moment, or what part of the Lylat system she might be in. Knowing her, she should be looking for a way to track them down. Perhaps getting help from her older brother Sabre and her best friend Lucy. Although if they managed to find a way to get there, he hoped that they would also have a way to return, since he didn't want them to be trapped in this other star system as well. He no longer wanted more people to be going through what he was going through with him, his teammates and his rivals, since being away from home was bad enough for all of them, and even more so keeping in mind that important people for them were far away and they couldn't get in touch with them.
He wondered if Krystal's telepathy ability could reach far enough to communicate with her. He might not feel so separated from her or his home. Because a part of him wanted to get home as quickly as possible. Those last three months seemed like forever, not just for him, but for everyone else.
Outside the rooms; Peppy, Panther and Slippy were also thoughtful, remembering their loved ones who were far from them, and who would surely be worried about his well-being: Peppy was worried about his daughter Lucy. Slippy was worried about his father Beltino and his paternal uncle Grippy. Panther was worried about his mother Millie about him. And like the others they wondered what they would do, although for Panther it was more devastating, since his mother had no one but him, and he was the one who got the money so that she could support herself. Though Krystal did know of Panther's past and that he still had a mother alive, he hoped that she could at least keep her company.
Already after a few hours of being all thoughtful about their home and various other topics, when they decided it was time to let Fox, Falco, Wolf and Leon out, they were already calmer. Peppy, Slippy, Rob and Panther decided not to bring up the subject of the report to avoid another comfort. Although seeing the faces of the fox, the pheasant, the wolf and the chameleon, it seemed that they would be calm for the rest of the day even the night. He hoped everything would be quiet for the rest of the day.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
