Episode 9: Fried Calamari

It was Bulletstrane.

She was in the warehouse premises.

With Fox, Falco and Dil preoccupied, Krystal and Slippy look scared out their witts.

"What? You thought I was someone else for a second?" Bulletstrane said.

"What's with the gruffy, tough voice, trying to spook to us?" Krystal replied.

"How did you know we be here?" Slippy looked and said to her.

"Fox is so gullible. I can look in the Great Fox database, in my ship and track you down, in two seconds." Bulletstrane said.

"But you can't make a vaccine for your own good?" Slippy replied in snark.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, FOX WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY FAMILY'S DEATH!" Bulletstrane grabbed and slammed Slippy into a wall.

Octomay wrapped one of her tentacles around Fox and electrocuted him.

Fox groaned in pain and fell down to his knees.

Falco spin kicked Octomay off him.

"Fox!" Falco exclaimed.

Falco pulled out the red bazooka and fired.

Octomay rolled out of of her way, the blast demolishing a railing, in half.

Octomay sprayed blank ink at Falco.

Lombardi twirled to his right and avoided the attack.

Octomay fired, another spray of blank ink at Falco.

Falco grabbed out his reflector and sent the attack at Octomay, countered and direct on contact in her face.

"I CAN'T SEE! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE! I CAN'T SEE!" Octomay blurted out.

Falco grabbed out his blaster, charged it up from green to blue to red with his bazooka in the another.

Falco fired his weapons and Octomay exploded, in a fiery blaze.

Falco hurried over to McCloud and helped him back up to his feet.

Fox was out of breath and could barely stand.

Fox offered Falco a handshake.

Falco had Fox snug in his shoulder and gave him a partial, side hug. Falco nudging Fox's head of hair in the hold.

"Good job, boys." Dil replied to them.

Cutscene

Bulletstrane was head to head, facing Fox, Falco, Dil, Slippy and Krystal.

"I could kill, every single of you, right here and right now." Bulletstrane firmly replied.

"Why don't you already?" Falco deadpanned.

Falco injecting himself in front of the group of five.

"Falco!" Krystal yelled.

"You almost killed me once, why don't you just do it, here and now?" Falco said, getting in Bulletstrane's face.

Falco and Bulletstrane share close eye contact for a few seconds.

Bulletstrane simply shakes her head.

"No. You're pathetic. Not here and not right now."

Falco got closer to her and Fox and Dil, pulled him back.

Falco locked eyes with Fox's aqua colored eyes and refrained from the confrontation.

"You'll be served another day. Now, ALL OF YOU. Get out of Macbeth, if you know what's good for you!" Bulletstrane yelled at the group.

One by one, each of them walk away, including Dil as Dil hitched a ride on Fox's arwing.

Fox dropped Dil, some place safe, some place else on Macbeth.

Fox, Falco, Slippy, Krystal and the Great Fox disappear in the overcast sky.

Bulletstrane stays on the planet surface, just standing there as the Great Fox lifts off.

Corneria's Steakburgers Cafe

"Okay, we definitely to find a way to give Dil another greeting card and talk to him, more about Bulletstrane." Fox said to the group.

"You think, he would oblige?" Falco said in response.

"At the very least, Krystal found us a nice place to eat for the night." Slippy said, as the four of them approached the restaurant.

"I'm exhausted." Krystal scolded.

"We'll fly back to Macbeth tomorrow and talk to Dil about-" Falco said before being cut off.

Just then, a black sedan spun around and furiously, parked the car in front of the foursome.

Ahopper prop opened the door with a big gun in toe.

"Ahopper!?" Fox yelled.

Ahopper fired a few bullets in the air.

Panic stricken civilians, across the street and inside the caf, began screaming and yelling.

"All of you. Hands up." Ahopper said.

"We are seriously not-" Falco said, before getting interrupted again.

"Shut up." Ahopper quietly replied.

"This can't be-" Fox replied."

"Shut up." Ahopper repeatedly in command.

"Slippy. I want Slippy. Just Slippy." Ahopper stated to Fox.

Ahopper and two other Grasshopper like creatures, in suite, held Slippy up by the wrists and handcuffed Slippy.

"In the car. We'll deal with the rest of you later." Ahopper replied.

Slippy was thrown in the sedan and the car, blazed up with wheels burning and smoke from the impact in the streets.

Fox, Falco and Krystal just stood there in disbelief as the vehicle vanished in the night sky.
