Josh and Fox made their way into the control room of the ship, and there stood the Gorton King, he held a curved sword in his hands and wore black shiny armor that covered him from head to toe. Behind him was a large opening where part of the ship tore off when it crashed.

“Well aint that a bit intimidating?” Josh asked as he held his rifle tight.

“My father always said the bigger they are the harder they fall.” Fox replied as he placed his hand on the handle of his Scout Marshal blaster. The Gorton king raised his sword and pointed it at Josh.

“You!” He called out in a deep tone, “You murdered my son.” He said. Josh held his rifle close to his shoulder and pointed it and the Gorton king.

“No offence, but your son was asking for it, I gave him the choice of walking away and living, but he chose death over life.” He said.

“My son chose to die instead of running like a coward...For that I am proud of him, for that I shall avenge his death.” He said and started to run towards the two. Fox and Josh began firing their guns. Bullets and Plasma rounds hit the Gorton king and deflected off his armor.

"What the hell kind of Armor is that?!" Josh asked.

"The very rare and expensive kind!" Fox replied.
Within a few seconds he brought his sword up in the air and brought it down on them. Josh and Fox quickly jumped to the left and right to get out of the way. The curved sword struck a few inches into the ground. The King turned his glowing orange eyes at Josh and yanked his sword out of the ground.

Fox stood and started firing his blaster, the plasma rounds barely left any dents as they bounced off the black shiny armor. The King could feel each round of plasma hit him, he ignored the Vulpine’s futile efforts and kept his gaze on his son’s murderer. Josh reloaded his rifle and fired it again, he could hear the sound of each bullet deflecting off the Kings armor. Again the King charged at Josh and swung his sword, Josh quickly dropped and rolled to his right, he rolled beside the king and quickly got up and started to run.

“Don’t suppose you have any ideas on how to penetrate his armor?” He called out to Fox. Fox had given up on shooting the king and was now looking for anything he could use to stop him.

“I’m thinking, just keep him busy for me.” Fox called out. The King rushed to Josh and swung his sword again, Josh quickly dodged out of the way just as the blade was about to sever his head from his neck.

“Oh don’t worry, I think I have his undivided attention.” The King raised his sword and brought it down, Josh once again moved out of the way, however the king used his free hand to grab Josh by the neck and lifted him up to his helmet visor.

“Fight me like a true warrior whelp!” He shouted

"Fuck you!" Josh spat and was thrown across the room, Josh landed on the ground and slid a little bit against the black marble floor. When he stopped sliding he looked up to find the King jumping fifteen ft. in the air and bringing his sword down. Josh quickly rolled out of the way and the blade stabbed a foot into the ground.

Fox noticed a couple power cables connected to a box up twenty ft. high, Fox looked back to find the King had once again thrown Josh across the floor. Fox looked back at the box and jumped, he jumped about eight ft. in the air and grabbed onto a ledge created by pieces of the ship sticking out after it crashed. Fox brought his feet up as close as he could to his chest and leapt from ledge to ledge until he got to the power box.

Fox pulled out his blaster and started shooting at the box until the lid fell off, He then looked at all the wires connected to it. He then started to pull wires and splicing them together.
Josh felt the stinging pain in his face as the king back handed him, sending him flying across the ground. Josh could see drops of his blood dripping onto the ground from his opened mouth. He looked up and found Fox doing something with the wires. Josh turned around just in time to see the king bringing his sword down. He quickly held his riffle up and the blade slashed halfway through the rifle and dug into his right shoulder. Josh shouted at the pain.

Fox turned around and saw Josh in trouble, He quickly pulled his blaster out and fired it,  he aimed for the King’s helmet. Each round hit the helmet and deflected, however it was annoying the king to the point he looked over at fox and yanked his sword out of Josh’s riffle and shoulder.

“So be it Vulpine, you wish to die first, I will gladly accept your wish.” He said and started to run to Fox.

“That a boy, come on.” Fox said as he held  two wires an inch from each other. The king then jumped high into the air and held his sword up, as he fell back down he readied his sword.
The King landed on the same ledge Fox was on, the massive brute brought his sword up ready to kill Fox, however the Vulpine quickly held the two wires out, and when the metal armor touched them a high voltage of electricity coursed through the armor and the king sending him back all the way against the opposite wall. He fell to the ground and his helmet rolled of his head and fell out through the huge opening of the ship. Fox smiled and jumped down and landed on the black marble floor. He then made his way to Josh.

“You alright?” He asked and knelt down next to him. Josh rolled onto his side and carefully stood.

“Yeah…What did you do to him?” He asked.

“I rewired the reaming power of the ship into one place and sent all of it into his body.” Fox said.

“Is he dead?” Josh asked as he looked over at the burnt face of the Gorton king.

“Yeah…I’m sure he’s dead.” Fox said, “Let’s get out of here.”

“Yeah.” He replied and the two started to walk out.

“Human!” A voice called out. Fox and Josh turned around to find the Gorton King standing holding his sword. “I will have your death!” He shouted. Josh sighed hoping it was all over.

“He really wants you dead.” Fox commented.

Josh quickly began search his body for any weapon and pulled out his pocket knife, his last weapon, the king rushed to Josh at fast speeds, it seemed as if he had been holding back as now he was much faster than before, Fox tried to stand between the two to offer Josh somewhat protection. The War King used his free hand to slap Fox across the face which flung him to the wall, He crashed into the wall and slid down, his blaster had fallen out of its holster and slid across the floor.

As the King’s attacks were much faster than before, Josh had trouble trying to dodge each one. The King held his sword up high and brought it down, Josh quickly moved to the left and jumped up swinging his knife, slicing the King’s cheek. The King grunted in pain and then hit Josh in the back of the head forcing him to fall onto his stomach.

Josh quickly stood and turned around, the king grabbed his hand that held the knife and started to squeeze tightly. Josh shouted loudly as he felt the bones in his hand break. The King smiled as he heard the bones breaking. He then yanked the knife out of Josh’s hand and tossed it aside.

Josh held onto his right hand with his left and grunted at the increasing pain, the king then held his sword up with two hands and laughed.

“Join my son in the afterlife, and battle for all eternity.” He said, Josh looked up with fear and pain filling his eyes, the king brought his sword down, time seemed to move slowly as the blade inched closer to Josh’s body. Images of Krystal popped into his head, all the times they laughed and cried together, all the times they kiss and held each other close started to flood his mind. Josh closed his eyes and waited for the blade to vertically cleave him in half, just then Fox jumped onto the Kings back. The king lifted his sword up and away from Josh. Fox held onto Josh’s knife that landed next to him. He held onto it tightly and forced the blade through the King’s right eye.

The King shouted in pain and anger, he dropped his sword and with his right hand grabbed Fox by the scruff of his neck and flipped him over onto the ground hard. Fox grunted at the pain, the blow had knocked the air out of him. The King grabbed Fox by the back of his clothes and lifted him in the air and slammed him down again, and repeated three more times. Fox’s vision was starting to blur, his mouth was slightly hung open and blood began dripping out. Josh looked over and saw what was happening to Fox, he then looked the other way and saw Fox’s blaster laying a few feet from him.

The King lifted Fox up and brought him to the large opening in the room, Fox looked down at the thousand foot drop; Fox looked up at the King as he used his left hand to grab the handle of the knife. He snarled like an animal as he pulled the knife out of his eye socket, a trail of blue blood flew out and more poured from the damaged eye. He held the knife and pointed it at Fox’s heart. Fox quickly placed his hands on the King’s and tried as hard as he could to keep the blade away from him. However the King was too strong and the blade started to slowly enter Fox’s body. Josh picked up the blaster and made his way to the King.

“Agh!” Fox shouted at the pain, The King laughed at the sound of his screams.

“Hey shit head!” He heard from behind him, He turned around and looked down at Josh who pointed the Scout Marshal blaster at the Kings head.

“Family reunion is in hell” He said and pulled the trigger. The Red plasma round exited the barrel of the gun and made its way between the King’s eyes. Resulting in a blue mist and red chunks of flesh to appear behind his head, suddenly his body went limp and he fell backwards out of the opening of the ship, Fox quickly grabbed onto the edge and watched as the King fell all the way down to the bottom, Josh dropped the blaster and laid on his stomach over the opening and held his hand out, Fox looked up and lifted his arm up and grabbed Josh’s hand. Josh pulled Fox up on to the floor,  and then both rolled on to their backs.

“Good timing.” Fox said.

“I was trying to figure out a good punch line.” Josh said. Fox smiled.

“Please don’t make me laugh.” He said and placed his hand over the wound on his chest, suddenly they heard the sound of ships leaving Slip space. Fox and Josh looked over to find many Gorton ships approaching. Both men watched in horror as the large rusty red color ships came closer and closer.
And then they heard more ships coming out of Slip space, they looked over to find not more Gorton ships, but the entire Cornerian military forces, out numbering the Gorton three to one.

Aboard the main flag ship the humanoid dog General Pepper stands looking at the Gorton ships.
“Lt Corners.” He said,  a monkey faced person turns his attention to General Pepper.

“Yes General?” He asks.

“Bring up communication with the Gorton’s.”

“Yes Sir.” The Lt. said and started pushing buttons on his console, “Communication established Sir.”  General Pepper nodded and took a few steps forward.

“This Is General Pepper of the Lylat system, Planet Earth and the Sol system is now and forever will be a part of the Lylat system. You have declared war on Earth…You have declared war on the Lylat system…Leave, and you will be spared, if you don’t, we will destroy every single one of you.” He said, and prayed they wanted a fight, noting would bring him more pleasure than to destroy the retched beings. After a few moments they sent only one reply.

“Our King is dead…We will leave in peace.”

“Good choice.” He replied.

Josh and Fox watched as the Gorton ships started to turn around and leave through Slip space. The two stood and helped each other out of the room. As they made their way out of the ship they noticed everyone cheering, a couple medics came to them and helped them over to a medical truck.

Fox and Josh lay down on the medical beds and looked up at the metal ceiling. A few medics were inside injecting an I.V into them.

“Hey come one guys I’m fine really, just a few bruises.” Fox said, then he felt them place gauss on top of his chest would. “ Come on it’s not that deep.” He said.
Josh laughed a little and felt pain shoot through his broken hand as one of the medics checked it.

“So, how bad is it?” He asked, the medic felt the hand all over, causing Josh more pain.

“I can only feel three broken bones, other than that your hand should be fine. X-rays will have to be taken just to be sure, until then…” The Medic said and grabbed a silver looking pack with a red line printed on it down the middle, the medic bent the red line and started to shake the pack.  “Keep this on until we arrive at the hospital.”
Josh felt the silver pack touch his hand and felt it was freezing cold, the medic then grabbed a light and flashed it in Josh’s eyes checking his pupils, Josh gently pushed the light away.

“I’m fine.” He said, he then noticed the vehicle slowing down suggesting they were at a hospital of some sort.
