Flight of the Fox

“Gotcha,” Fox said, with a mix of excitement and relief. He’d been tracking the warship for ages. As big and slow as it seemed, it had a way of disappearing from sensors, almost as if it jumped in and out of reality.

Now though, it was right in front of him. The beast seemed as of yet unaware of his presence. He took a deep breath.

“This one’s for Corneria.”

He opened fire. A mere few seconds later he was on the defensive, as countless guns fired at him. Evading wasn’t the problem; finding an opening to deal some of it back was. Something crashed into the back of his arwing. Cheap shot.

Still, it hit right where Fox didn’t need it to, sending him spinning down to the surface.

He dreamed of her on the planet Sauria. Wild and free, passionate. On all fours, she crawled towards him, emerald eyes locked onto his. Her blue tail swayed hypnotically, dancing for him. She reached him, nestled her body between his legs, and kissed his dick. Her warm breath made him weak. Her tongue explored him, curious and eager. All the way up she went, until plunging down, taking him all the way in.

He closed his eyes, enjoying the moment. When he opened them, he noticed the burning wreck of his arwing. He looked back to her ruby eyes. Had she pulled him out of the wreckage? He ran his fingers through her green hair, forcing her further down. Her moans sounded odd, ethereal.

Wait.

She didn’t look like Krystal at all. The creature was beautiful, sure, but what was it?

Suddenly, another explosion made the thing jump. It floated up, long green ribbon-like arms spread out, with an odd red shard through its chest. It was almost like a ghost, disappearing in a flash.

Why it had done what it did, he didn’t know, but it had rejuvenated him, and he was ready for whatever had just attacked him. He dashed out from behind the wreck, quickly scanning the environment. He was on the edge of a deep jungle, by a large lake from which an enormous reptile had emerged. The thing had some poor helpless simian in its claws. Fox didn’t hesitate, dashed across it to dislodge the animal, and landed safely back on the beach.

“Thanks,” the ape said.

“No problem.”

“Know what that thing is?”

“No idea.”

The serpent twisted, as if something was working its way up its long body, until a ball of light formed between its jaws.

“What the—“ the ape started.

“I got it,” Fox responded, activating his reflector to bounce back the energy beam. The beam exploded in the monster’s face, causing it to crash back into the water.

“Wow,” the ape said. “That’s a neat tool. Can I see it?”

“Maybe later. We best move before that thing comes back. Name’s Fox by the way.”

“Diddy, Kong.”

“Pleasure. So, which way to civilization?”

“Not much of that here, but if we go upstream, we’ll at least find some allies. There’s just two problems.”

“What are they?”

“Well, for one, there’s an army in between us and them. Secondly, your dick’s hanging out.”
