Familiar taste

Description

Falco wasn't used to ground combat, he was a pilot, an ACE pilot and he definetively prefered the air. His Arwing had been damaged, forcing him to perform an emergency landing. The moment he touched ground he knew his enemies had the advantage.

Grabbing his blaster, Falco kicked the Arwing's cockpit door open and dashed out of it as fast as he could. Seconds later, the spaceship exploded into fire and smoke... and Falco knew it hadn't been an engine failure. He was covered in bruishes, they were all over his body, but he didn't even noticed them until he licked at his beak, the familiar taste of blood welcoming his toungue.

He definetively didn't feel save on ground and his blaster with the last cartrige of ammo wasn't something that made the avian feel easier, and it wasn't hard to imagine this could be his last battle for the StarFox team. Falco didn't regret having come back, he had missed all of them: Peppy, Slippy and... yeah, even Fox, though he wouldn't admit it to the other... not that he'd ever have the chance.

The footsteps of enemies were getting louder, they were getting closer. The ace pilot hurried to reload his weapon and mentaly prepared himself for doom. Heck... They weren't going to get it that easy! He was going to definetively put up a fight!

There were screams, the sound of bodies falling, Falco's eyes were big, hands steady holding his blaster... but then there was just silence. No. There was a sound: footsteps again. But dim... Just a single pair of footsteps, and then a silhouette.

"Falco... Let's get back home..." He was practically out of breath, Falco saw his legs were shaking and barely holding him in a standing possition. Before they gave in, Falco was at his side, one wing around his waist to hold him up.

"Man... You look bad... Worse than me..."

"Falco... Will I ever get a decent 'thank you' from you..?"

"Yeah..." Falco looked away, a small smile on his beak. "Thank you, Fox."

Fox' reply was another small smile before his eyes closed.
