Chapter Text
“We are going to be entering Corneria’s atmosphere in six minutes.” said Wolf. “I won’t lie, I am so happy to finally be home.”
When no response was heard back from Fox, Wolf turned around to see why and saw the vulpine fast asleep. There was a little bit of drool dripping from the side of his mouth, he looked kinda cute. Wolf turned back around in his seat and started to focus back on flying.
When they finally Were finally back to the Great Fox, he carried the sleeping vulpine to their bedroom. He gently set Fox down on the bed, and he took the flash drive up to the bridge. After he got to the main monitor he plugged it in. It was a video after debating on whether or not to wait for Fox to wake to watch it. He eventually decided against watching it, and decided to go to the rec room and get some food.
He entered the rec room and went over to the kitchen area, he opened the fridge to see nothing, “That’s right, we needed food.” he said to himself. Should I go and get food, Fox should be out for a few hours, it probably takes about an hour and a half. I’ll write him a note if he wakes before I get back.
…
Fox awoke in his bed in the Great Fox, he must have fallen asleep. He slowly got off of the bed, and made his way to the bathroom. He took a look and the mirror, “I look like shit,” he said to himself. Deciding the best thing to do would be to take a shower, he took his clothes off and the bandage revealing the wound. It was worse than it was before, it had spread down to his right leg. Should I tell Wolf, no he’s already stressed out enough. I told him no hospital and I meant it.
Fox stepped into the shower and started to wash all of the dirt, grime, and most of all blood. He took some shampoo and started to work it through his fur, he then proceeded to rinse it off. He then turned off the shower and stepped out grabbing a towel drying off his fur. He exited the bathroom and went to his closet, he chose some pants, a shirt, and his flight jacket. As soon as he finished putting everything on he left to go find Wolf.
As he stepped out into the hallway a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, he held his breath to not shout out in pain, We have enough problems man up, he told himself. He got up and continued walking the first place he checked was the rec room. He looked around and saw nobody, he walked over to the kitchen area and found a note on the table, “Groceries, good idea. Maybe I should relax until he gets back.”
Fox left the rec room and headed up towards the bridge, as he entered the bridge he saw a video popped up on the feed. He looked down and saw that it was coming from the flashdrive. He hit play without thinking twice and a video of Panther showed up.
“If you are seeing this, I have succeeded in destroying the ship I am now inhabiting. I am sorry, Fox if you see this i’m sorry that you had to go through that. I would have tried to help you and Wolf, but it was too big of an opportunity to pass up. Along with this video you will find the location of the main base of The Pack. That’s what they call themselves, you may call me selfish for putting me above you, but putting everyone else above us. Fox, you Wolf finish this, because I can’t anymore it’s up to you. I wish you best of luck, Panther out.
Fox slowly turned off the video and sat in his chair on the bridge, he was nervous what if they fail, what if they both die. No, he needed to stop thinking about it, he needed to focus on something else.
“Fox, where are you!”
Fox jumped up from his chair, and turned to look at the door to the room, nobody. “Hello, Wolf is that you! Fox screamed, but nobody replied.
Fox slowly exited the bridge into the hallway, he looked down the hall and saw a shadow standing at the end, “Hello?” Fox said, squinting his eyes trying to make out who it was.
He started to slowly walk towards the figure he drew his blaster and pointed down the hallway. “Identify yourself, or I'll shoot.” Fox said, trying to keep his cool. “Identify yourself!”
The figure didn’t even move, suddenly the figure started running towards him, Fox let out a scream and fired a shot. It disappeared, “Where the hell did it go,” Fox said to himself. “I’m going crazy.”
Sweat was running down Fox’s face, he rushed to the bathroom and splashed some water onto his face. “What are you scared of Fox,”
Fox jumped again looking up at the mirror, and then he saw it again in the reflection it was standing behind him. He quickly turned around to see nothing, “What the hell, what’s wrong with me.”
“Yeah, what is wrong with you,”
“Get out of my head!” Fox screamed and plunged his fist into the glass of the mirror, he looked down at his hand and saw blood dripping from his hand into the sink. He slowly walked out of the bathroom, and started walking to his room to grab his PDA. Call Wolf, maybe he can help. I need..
His thoughts were caught off by a sharp pain shooting through his abdomen and his right leg, he fell face first onto the ground. He groaned in pain. He tried to sit up but couldn't, his whole lower body was in agonizing pain. His vision started to get blurry, he started to crawl to his room, “Weak,” was the last thing he heard before he blacked out.
…
Wolf was walking back to the Great Fox with all of the groceries he could carry from the store. He had different types of meat, some cheese, loafs of bread, eggs, and he even grabbed himself some whiskey from a nearby liquor store. As he walked down the sidewalk towards the Great Fox, he looked around, feeling relieved he was back home. He slowly entered the docking bay of the Great Fox, he took the elevator up to the rec room, he started to put everything away after he finished he decided to go and check on Fox.
As he entered the hallway he saw Fox laying on the floor unconscious, “Fox!
Wolf ran over to the vulpine and turned him over to see his bloody knuckles, he lifted Fox’s shirt to see the wound had become even worse. “You idiot.”
He slowly picked up Fox and started making his way towards a hospital.
