Here's chapter 68. This chapter also focuses on Star Fox characters.
Definitely unlike the previous Saturday, things were a bit quieter the rest of the day for Tokyoites than last Saturday. Everyone was very calm, still on the alert for anything, but the feeling of fear had subsided. Even something that the Mobius heroes said made them calm down, since they reported that after that surprise appearance of the robots they realized what kind of artifact they used, since before flying out of the city the artifact fell from the ship nearby of them and they could make some modifications to it, to detect another similar device that was approaching the city. So if Eggman or his robots came back from him they would be ready to stop them. They would have nothing to fear, just seek a good shelter if it were the case that they returned.
...
In one of the apartments in the city, the Star Fox team and the Star Wolf team had seen the entire report of what happened. Fox, Slippy, Peppy and ROB, now that they saw the Mobius heroes for the second time in action, they were able to realize that they were really quite good at what they did, since the first time they couldn't see them clearly due to the state of the security cameras in which they were filmed. Falco, Wolf, Leon and Panther although they were more reaction to admit certain things, internally they thought the same as the others. At times like these they would like to join the adventure to help keep the inhabitants of the city and the planet in general safe (or at least the Star Fox team, since Star Wolf would do it if they received something in return) But they hadn't been able to locate their ships yet, so they would only have their laser weapons to fire from the ground.
"With all this happening in the city, I think we should help Sonic and the others" suggested Slippy.
"I completely agree, while we are here, our duty is to protect the innocent, as we would if we were in the Lylat system," said Peppy.
"I was thinking about that, but we'll have to wait for a time when we know they're alone so we can call them without interruption," Fox said.
"I just want to get my ship back so I can get out of here as fast as I can and get home," Wolf said.
"Like me, I left a lot of unfinished business before I got here, and I want to complete it as quickly as possible" Leon said, but he said it in a very dark way, as if those matters were something quite bloody.
"Oh come on, you two, if we help them, they might return the favor of helping us find all the ships. Because I'm sure they could do more than we have so far that we haven't found on our own the Arwings, the Wolfens and the Great Fox" ROB said in his usual robotic way.
"Guys, they're right" said Panther to his two teammates, which surprised everyone in the room, since the panther always supported the decisions made by the wolf and the chameleon, but now he was supporting the team's decisions rival.
"Wow, Panther supporting us, he must be sick or something," Falco told himself in his mind.
"Each of us has their reasons for wanting to come home. Me because I want to see my mother again, since I don't want her to be alone for a long time. Leon, as you said, you have a lot of unfinished business. And Wolf, I know you don't want to admit it in front of everyone, but I know the reason you want to come back is because you miss Krystal."
"Don't talk nonsense" Wolf said shaking his head and looking away.
That reaction from him made the others realize that he was in denial, he didn't even say another word after that, but Panther insisted.
"Wolf, I've known you a lot less than Leon, or even Star Fox, but I know you well enough to know that you don't want to admit that's why you want to come back. And I understand you. I know how it feels to miss the person you love. Don't be afraid to show your sensitive side."
"Shut up. I don't have a sensitive side or anything like that."
"Oh, and where do you leave the moment when you asked Krystal to be your girlfriend. You didn't realize it, but I was there and heard it all. They were both very caramelized" Leon said in a mocking tone.
"Damn, who told you that you could spy on us" said Wolf, it seemed that he was going to attack Leon, but between Fox, Falco and Panther they stopped him.
"It seems that he just gave himself away by the way he reacted" said the chameleon.
At one end of the room, Peppy and Slippy were ignoring everything, this kind of situation had been happening for the last three months. And that was normal for them. Right now they decided to watch some TV, just in case they told ROB that in case Wolf got too far he would knock him out with the laser beam. So ROB was keeping an eye out. Both the toad and the rabbit were happy to be together, but they would be completely worried if one of them was in the Lylat system without being able to communicate with the other, they were sure that they would be worried as Wolf was for Krystal, although they would admit it. Although they were still worried about their relatives and other friends who were still in their home star system.
"Come on Wolf, you have to calm down" said Panther stopping his leader.
"You don't have to be like that," Falco said.
"Being in love and worrying about your partner doesn't make you look weak. Do you think Krystal thinks you're weak just because you don't act rude to her like the others? She would be disappointed if she saw you right now" Fox said, this made the fox feel a bit weird, since although he respected Wolf and Krystal's relationship, he still wondered how they fell in love with each other.
"Fox is right. Krystal knows that you are more than what you show to others on the outside, she told me so herself and she didn't need to use her telepathy to know it. Please Wolf, you don't need to be like this just for that. We have a lot of things to worry about right now. And I'm sure that when we return home you will be able to be together again. She must be even trying everything in her power to try to contact us and bring us back to the Lylat system," Panther said.
"Listen to what they say Wolf. They both dated Krystal before you, maybe you haven't had a relationship with anyone before dating Krystal, but they already know what she's like, they know very well what they're talking about. And although unlike them, I never went out with her unlike Fox and Panther, if I can tell you that she cares a lot about her loved ones, so I don't think what Panther said is false," said Falco in a quite calm very strange in him.
Wolf processed, what they said for a few moments created him in the back of his mind. At that moment he stopped putting up resistance. Which caused Fox, Falco and Panther to let go of him. Without saying anything, Wolf went to his room without saying a word. The others decided to leave him alone for a few minutes, maybe that way he could think things better with a cool head and being a little more relaxed. Being in the room, Wolf lay down on the bed. I take something out of his pants pocket. In this he had a photograph that he cherished very much and that he didn't allow anyone, not even his teammates, to see.
Wolf and Krystal were pictured on the day they had their first date. Both in the photo were not in their regular outfits but more casual outfits. Could be seen both of them very happy, which in Wolf's case was something very rare to see, since his smiles were usually not of happiness but of malice every time he managed to defeat his enemies in battle. But not this one, it was real. A smile that had not been seen on his face since his teens. Since Krystal had given him a happiness in his life that he never thought he would have again. Even if someone had told him that she became his girlfriend when he met her, he wouldn't have believed it, considering her previous relationship with Fox and her later relationship with Panther. But right now he was glad they were together, and he wasn't going to let anything separate him from her.
Meanwhile in the living room, while they waited for Wolf to finish calming down a bit. Fox and Falco talked to Leon and Panther. They knew that Panther agreed with Fox and Falco's suggestion before Wolf's fit of rage. So between the three of them now they wanted to try to convince Leon that if he agreed, they could all be back home before they knew it. The chameleon, after responding sarcastically, finally agreed, while he said that he had nothing better to do at the moment anyway. So they could count on him, but he would still work his way. Although the last part of what he said didn't please the fox, the panther, much less the pheasant, at least they was glad that he was going to help.
After that, and seeing that they were the majority, the majority decided to contact the mobians about the decision they had made. Fox took his communicator and punched a series of buttons to contact Sonic. The blue hedgehog appeared on the communicator screen. From the surroundings where he was it seemed that they had already returned to the apartment where they were when they saw them for the first time.
"Hello Sonic, this is Fox. I wanted to talk to you about something. Do you have time right now?" asked the fox.
"Of course, we had just returned from Tokyo Summer Land. So yes, I have time. What's going on?" asked the blue hedgehog.
"Well, we saw what happened there on television. And we were arguing about, the subject. And we wanted to know if we could help them in case another attack similar to this or the one that happened last week happens again."
"Okay; what Nick, Haida and Ookami told us when they were brought in to explain the situation of what was happening; they told us that you were good pilots, although they didn't explain that in depth. Could you tell me a little more about what they know how to do and what other skills they have?".
So Fox gave him a brief summary of his piloting skills of all the members of Star Fox and Star Wolf, as well as the ROB robot. He also briefly told they about the adventures they had in the past and that a confrontation against Eggman would be nothing new for them. Hearing that, Sonic was convinced that his help would be needed. Even with what he heard from one of them he could help them in other ways.
"Okay Fox, I agree that everyone help us. And even Slippy could be of help to Tails and Flora in building various gadgets. Well, if you have time, I could come talk to you tomorrow."
"Of course, we have time to receive you."
"Okay, it's decided. See you tomorrow then."
After that, both ended the conversation. Fox explained to everyone else how the conversation went at the end. And that in the end Sonic accepted the help of all of them.
"So, I see that in the end you included us all" said a voice behind the fox.
Fox turned around and saw Wolf behind him. Although he noticed that now he looked a little calmer.
"Oh hello Wolf. I hope he didn't upset you, but I also mentioned you when I offered our help to the mobians."
"Don't worry, this time just made me think that if I really want to go back home and see Krystal again, then I'll have to help and do my best on this."
Hearing that, they surprised everyone, but at the same time he made them happy, now they all agreed on this issue. So it may be easier to find a way back to the Lylat system.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
