Missing In Action
Prologue
Sirens blared. Red hazard lights filled the bridge, and outside the bridge windows, explosions peppered the black sky.
"Shit! Lets try and loose them in the asteroids!"
"Caution, you are now entering hazardous space! Evasive action required, please remove A.I. core safeties."
"Do it!"
"Yes Sir!"
"Safeties removed, A.I. has the ship. Confirm."
"Confirmed, please hold on, taking evasive action."
Asteroids flew past the screen, some of them being engulfed in the continuous barrage from behind them. Suddenly everything lurched as the ship took a sharp dive to avoid a particularly large asteroid.
The massive chunk of rock came with in meters of the rear fins.
Everything then came to a sudden stop. Calm engulfed the bridge. The sirens stopped, the lights returned to there normal gentle white hue, and outside the asteroids rolled by calmly.
"I think... we're in the clear..."
A sudden explosion threw everyone from their seats. The sirens came back with a vengeance.
"Hull breaches on levels three and one. Warning boarding parties in bound, Armoury in-accessible due to hull breach. Docking bay in-accessible due to hull breach."
"Crap without weapons we can't defend from the boarding parties."
"And if we can't use the docking bay, then the Ar-wings can't be used either!"
Everyone went silent and looked to their captain. He furrowed his brow.
"As much as it pains me to say this, I have too. Abandon ship, everyone, to the escape pods."
Everyone rushed to do so, purging the computers of classified data and sensitive documents, and moving their A.I. into a portable core so they could take it with them.
Everyone piled into their assigned escape pods and jettisoned from the dying ship
Then, less than two minutes after being given the order, every single person piled into the escape pods, ejecting themselves from the dying ship.
"What now Sir?"
"Is the distress beacon ready?"
"Yes, all we need is a short message."
A microphone was passed to the captain, who took a moment to think as he watched his prized ship become swarmed by the boarding vessels of their foes.
"This is Captain Fox McCloud of The Great Fox, We've been attacked by an unknown enemy and have had to abandon ship. The Great Fox is going down, I repeat The Great Fox is lost."
Part 1
A beautiful sunset.
At least it would have been if the sky was not marred by explosions and jet wash.
Hikari returned her attention back down to the valley bellow, gazing through the scope of her sniper rifle. Falco would be coming back for her in less than an hour. If her mark didn't come back outside in that time, she doubted she was going to get another chance in a long time.
She brushed a lock of her blood red hair from her eyes, taking another glance at her watch.
'Damn it, Falco's coming back in ten minutes,' she thought. 'And my mark still hasn't... wait, That's him! And he's alone too! Couldn't ask for a better line of sight either.'
She smiled as she cocked the sniper rifle, cycling a round into the chamber. Taking slow, deep breaths.
"Fear the pink mist you S.O.B," she murmured squeezing the trigger.
The rifle kicked against her shoulder, and red splattered the wall behind her target. The gunshot
echoed loudly, and spotlights quickly shone on her position. But she had rolled to the side as soon as
the kill had been confirmed. Sirens began to blare as she sprinted for her pick up, Falco's old cargo vessel flying in low, kicking up a torrent of dust and dirt, forcing her to shield her eyes.
The vessel touched down and the rear hatch lowered. She rushed to it, the vessel lifting off as soon as her feet were on the ramp. The wind ripped at her hair as the vessel climbed into the sky, until the airlock began to cycle closed as the atmosphere started to thin out.
She opened a locker and stowed her rifle, before she made her way through to the cockpit, fighting a bucking floor.
"An ace pilot, and he can't fly smoothly," she commented, struggling to get to the co-pilots chair.
"You try flying this old crate while dodging AA fire and you'll know how hard it is!"
She grinned at him as she strapped herself into the chair.
"I take it you got him."
"Why would you think that?" Hikari loved teasing him.
"Two reasons really; first there was way too much activity for you to have not succeeded."
"And the second reason?"
Falco looked over at her and smiled as he typed in some co-ordinates.
"You wouldn't have left unless you got him. Speaking of which..."
"Got him last minute, walked out on the balcony for me," she paused as she thought. "Now that I think about it, I swear right as I pulled the trigger, he looked at me."
"You're dreaming things..."
"No Falco! It was like he looked right at me, right down my scope."
Falco remained silent as he throttled the engines forward, the FTL drive kicking in and pushing Hikari back in her padded chair.
"Time to destination, four hours," the ships computer announced.
"That's a long time, where are we going that will take us so long?" Hikari asked.
"Back to the Lylat system. I got a message for a new mission," Falco replied leaning back in his chair. "The General needs us."
Hikari blinked a few times.
"But I thought you said you would never..."
"I know what I said," he cut her off sharply, causing her to gasp quietly at the harshness of his words. He sighed, furrowing his brow.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to say it like that."
"You told me you never wanted to return to the Lylat system. Why the sudden change of mind, why accept an assignment from the General on a moments notice?"
"Because I owe him a favour. And because he asked me personally."
Hikari nodded slightly.
As much as Falco had teased and annoyed him. The former pilot, turned General, Peppy Hare was still a close friend, and if it was as serious as Falco was letting on, Peppys request would be enough for him to return.
"What is it he asked?"
"It was about Fox."
"What about him?"
"He's gone missing. A general distress call was released from The Great Fox. When rescue forces arrived, the ship was in ruins."
"What! Is Fox alright?"
"I don't know! He's missing, remember. Luckily upon investigation the teams discovered all the escape pods had been jettisoned. I can only speculate whether he was on one of them and didn't stay behind to try and save his prised vessel. But here is the strange thing. In several places on the hull there were burn marks surrounding perfectly round holes. Like something had attached to the hull, cut through the 12 inches of armour plating, then blasted away when it had done what ever it was doing."
"Boarding parties."
"That's what I thought, but the only thing missing on the vessel besides the escape pods were the A.I core and hard drives. Corneria announced that it was pirates."
"Come on, Fox wouldn't let a bunch of pirates take down The Great Fox."
"My thoughts exactly, and if they were pirates, then the armoury and docking bay would have been stripped."
"Let me guess, the Ar-wings, Landmaster and Blue Marine were all accounted for."
"And the armoury looked like it hadn't been touched."
Hikari slumped back into her chair.
"That's very strange, I know they would have had important documents on the drives, and the A.I would have been pretty high tec. But if Fox ordered to abandon ship, the drives would have been wiped and the A.I taken with them."
Falco nodded, looking out the cockpit window.
"That's why Peppys asked us to look into it. He knows Fox just as well as I do, so he suspects something is amiss. We're to find out what happened to The Great Fox, and, if at all possible, find Fox and his crew as well."
***
The ship dropped out of FTL travel. The hull shuddered slightly, as it was subjected to extra stresses.
"I hope it's still there," Hikari commented as she punched in some co-ordinates. Falco chuckled as he throttled the engines slightly.
"It should be, I hid it pretty well. Besides, I doubt anyone actual visits sector X at all."
The ship slowly drifted through space and into what one of he old friends had affectionately nicknamed, the junkyard. Mainly because ships and space stations of all types could be found, if you looked hard enough. You could make quiet a bit of money if you happened upon something special. But it was also a highly dangerous place to work. Andross had hidden many a weapon in the clusters of junk and debris. She would occasionally here about someone happening upon one, sometimes they were still active, and once discovered, would go on a rampage, requiring the Cornerian Navy to intervene.
"There she is," Falco announced as the ship rounded a large cluster of scrap metal. "Still exactly like she was when I left."
Hikari smiled as the ship turned about and started an intercept course. The old decommissioned cruiser, which had been her home for several years before the two of them left the system loomed before them.
Falco linked to the still active computer and keyed the hanger doors. Slowly, the old machinery came to life, opening just enough for the ship to pass through them before closing. More machines came to life in both the cruiser and Falco's ship. Atmosphere was pumped into the hanger, and landing gears lowered before they touched down on the metal floor.
"Home sweet home," Falco mussed as he lowered the rear hatch. Hikari smiled and released her harness, standing and having a slight stretch.
"I'm looking forward to sleeping in our old bed," she giggled. "And a proper shower."
Falco chuckled as he watched her leave the cockpit, raising an eyebrow at the way her hips swayed for side to side. She stopped at her locker and retrieved her duffle bag, looking back to him and giving a little wink before walking down the ramp and into the docking bay.
***
Hikari let the towel drop to the floor as she stepped into the shower.
The faucet sensed her presence and started a pleasantly warm stream of water. But after living with bathing in freezing cold streams every other day, it wasn't hot enough.
"Hotter," she called out, and moments later the water became warmer. But still it wasn't enough.
"Increase water temperature until I say so."
She smiled as the water became steadily hotter
"Stop," she called out with an audible sigh, then began soaking her hair in the wonderful water. She took hold of her shampoo and squeezed a good blob into her hand, then began to massage it into her head, building up a wonderful lather.
She sighed as a beautiful smell wafted into her nose. She smiled to herself.
"Ahh, I've missed that smell. It's been too long."
She looked down at her feet, her eyes widening at the sight of the nearly black water running off her. While her fur looked clean, the skin underneath was most likely thick with dirt and grim. It seemed like even bathing in a stream was no match for a hot shower and a bar of soap. She sighed as she rinsed the shampoo from her hair, then it was over all too soon.
"Too bad," she mussed turning off the taps. She eyed a button on the wall for a moment. "Hehe, why not, I haven't used anything like it for a while."
She pressed it, and moments later was blasted from above and below with warm air. She Eeeped , making herself spread herself out so the air could dry the majority of her blue, red and white fur. After a minute she pressed the button again, the air coming to a slow stop. She stepped from the shower and picked up her towel, drying off any part of her the dryer had missed, then wrapped it around her waist, covering her bust.
She smiled to herself knowing if Falco caught her looking like this he would go Gaga over her. Her ear twitched as something on the other side of the bathroom door was moved. She grinned to herself and went to the door, listening carefully before opening it a crack.
Falco was in the room putting some of his clothes away, his back facing her.
She smiled and let the towel drop to the floor, before opening the door and sneaking into the room. He was oblivious to her presence until she wrapped her arms around him.
"Surprise," she breathed in his ear, pressing herself close to him. He smiled.
"Have a good shower?" he asked reaching back to her. "I was just, about to..."
He trailed off as his hand touched her bare fur. He turned and looked down at her smiling. She grinned up at him and placed her hands on his chest. He remained silent as his hands wandered down her body. She couldn't help but blush, even though she knew he wouldn't be able to tell. Gently she tugged his jacket from his shoulders, letting it fall to the floor, before gently guiding him to the bed.
They fell on to it, with Falco not holding back, as he planted a plethora of kisses on her, while his
hands wandered over her body. Her eyes fluttered at his touch, small eeps and moans escaping her lips. Her hands wandered his back as she kissed him deeply, her eyes closing, as her hands found their way up under his shirt. He paused long enough for her to pull it off him, before he returned to kissing her.
Her back arched slightly as he kissed lower on her neck and down to her bust, drawing a long moan from her as his feathered fingers brushed against her nethers. She gave a low murr and smiled at him. It had been far too long since they had had a chance to do the one thing that they both enjoyed a lot.
"Mmm Falco, it's been so long..." He pressed a finger to her lips, making her fall silent.
"Shh, I know, and I'm going to make it up to you right now," He kissed her as her hands went to his waist, unbuckling his pants and pulling them and his underwear down as she murred into their kiss. He kicked the clothes of his legs and pulled her closer to him, his stiffening member brushing against her womanhood.
She murred again and wrapped her arms and legs around him, not wanting to let him get away from her. He chuckled as he felt her legs hook behind him.
"You've really missed this, haven't you?" he said as he pressed the shaft of his member against her entrance, causing her to bite her lower lip and nod, bucking up into him a little. He smiled at the cute, needy expression, before pulling back as much as she would allow, and guiding himself in to her, drawing out a long, moan.
He murred as she clenched at him, her slit and legs making it difficult to draw back. She tightened herself on him when she felt him try and pull back, pulling his head close to her lips.
"Leave it there... please. Just... just for a little while."
He smiled and kissed her cheek, rolling them over onto his back, holding her close to him. She kept her eyes closer for sometime, as she took long deep breaths, gently kissing his neck and cheeks.
Then after sometime, Falco felt her bounce gently on him. He looked at her, but she hadn't moved. Her head still rested on his chest in the same place it had been for the last ten minutes. Her eyes were still closed, and she was still gently biting her lower lip.
Then he felt it again, and watched as her tail raised up behind her as she started a regular pace. Slowly at first, but quickly it became faster.
He panted as her slick slit easily slid along his member, her gentle moans driving him closer to the edge. It was so good, he wondered briefly in his haze how he had managed to keep his hands off her for the past several months.
Her pace however turned out to be too slow for him. Just a tease.
He rolled them both over, laying her on her back as she slowly bucked up into him, before her quickly hilted himself in her. Her mouth opened in a gasp, but was stifled before anything could escape by a deep kiss from him. She moaned into it as he began to thrust down into her, her hips rising as he pulled back.
He could feel himself getting closer already, as her slit clenched on him, rubbing tightly against him. He felt ready to explode, but he wanted her to finish with him, so he did his best to hold back, until he felt her clamp down on him hard, her muscles rippling against his member.
He couldn't hold back anymore and let go, his climax hitting him just as hard as hers. It lasted a minute before his climax subsided. Although his climax ended much sooner than hers, which lasted for several minutes, as her slit worked his member, coaxing out as much of his gift as it could.
When it was all over, both were panting heavily. Although she didn't let him pull out.
"Mmm thank you for that love," she whispered in his ear. "I really needed that."
"More so than me I take it."
She looked at him strangely, worry flitting in her eyes.
"I don't understand."
"Oh I think you do, don't think I don't know what time it is for you. Your going through your heat cycle right now."
She blushed and looked away from him before giving a gentle nod.
"Yes. I just needed to get rid of it so bad. I've gone through months of not being able to do anything about it. So when the opportunity arose, I took it."
Falco chuckled and drew her close, pressing her head to his chest gently. Although he disliked being 'used,' when it was like this, and by someone he cared about so much. He couldn't really care less.
"How's your heat feeling now?"
She smiled.
"Satisfied," she murmured. Closing her eyes as he drew the covers over them and kissed the top of her head.
