[bakfoo]

I forgot that Star Fox was a thing until today and in some weird stupor I wrote a 1.4k word fic surrounding the first skirmish between SF and SW heavily influenced by @rainboopz 's Krystal is Kursed AU

This is a totally self-indulgent hurt/comfort fanfic and I won't apologize for it because I didn't realize how weird star fox command gets and I need to fix it before I explode

Krystal couldn't believe it. Her ship's HUD blared all kinds of damage reports in her face. With no choice, she wrenched the stick and turned away from the battle. She flew back in tatters.

"Days... Weeks... Months of training and flight hours and I still can't down him," Krystal whispered to herself, gripping the joystick so hard she swore she heard it creak.

She used every trick in the book and more. Even when she pulled out all the aces she had up her sleeve, she was countered at every turn. She held up against the rest of Star Fox just fine on her own, but their leader was different. It was cold. It was surgical. For someone who only knew her previous captain as a squadmate, this was the harsh reminder:

Fox McCloud was the deadliest pilot in the Lylat System.

Was he holding out on me?! Did I get weaker? Did he get stronger? How...?

Krystal slammed the canopy with her fist through tears of frustration. As if on cue, Wolf's face showed up in a small monitor. From the red glow on his face, it was clear that his ship was also no longer combat effective. A bit behind, her other squadmates were returning from battle, not faring any better.

"Well, Princess? How does it feel?"

Krystal quickly wiped tears of frustration from her face, too scared to say anything in fear that a sob would come out. Losing wasn't new for her, but this loss had so much more at stake. She glared at the screen without saying a word.

"It fucking sucks," Krystal choked out bitterly, not seeming to care that the entirety of Star Wolf was now fixated on her response. Eavesdropping, Panther begrudgingly smiled, Leon huffed and twisted his face into a frown. She was only a part of the team in name, but this was their unofficial induction ceremony.

Wolf grinned, knowing the exact feeling. He saw it reflected all over Krystal's face.

"Welcome to Star Wolf."

--

During the Lylat Wars, the Arwing was considered a next generation fighter. It was so above and beyond the competition that it boasted a higher kill count than the entirety of the Cornerian Militaty during the war. Even after the Arwing was reverse engineered by the Venomians, even after battles against the supernatural, and even after another war against the Aparoid invasion, the Arwing towered above the rest.

The gap, however, has decreased over time. The Arwing was a successful proof of concept, and everybody in Lylat wanted it. Its newest G-Diffuser system was now commonplace around the most basic cargo haulers. Its nano laminate armor was on all commercial shuttles. Gimble cannons were spacecraft standard issue. Even the Wolfens had all of this and more.

The only edge above the competition was the pilot. The Arwing boasted a 99.9% survival rate, with the near perfect record broken by none other than James McCloud. The reason why Star Fox is where they are is because their trusty spacecraft kept them alive and forced them to learn from their mistakes. Given their track record, Star Fox has learned everything and more when it comes to ship to ship combat.

None of that experience didn't make it any less awkward when Fox met his ex for the first time months and immediately shot her down.

Battles between ace pilots were always one or the other: decisive or extremely drawn out. When the first blasters were fired, from Krystal nonetheless, all moments of hesitation flew out the window. Further chatter included the usual battle call outs and insults, but it was over almost as soon as it started.

Fox peered over the side of the canopy. He watched as four Wolfens flew away from them, heading away from the now-empty battlefield.

"... All ships, turn to solar bearing 0-3-0. Return to base."

"Copy that." "Roger."

Damages were almost a guarantee when facing off against Star Wolf, but it's been a while since Slippy and Falco danced on a razor's edge in a dogfight. Landing on the Great Fox wasn't this tense since wartime.

"Damn. She got me good," Falco scoffed, a bitter sense of pride in his former teammate-turned-enemy. When he left his cockpit, He ran his hand along scorch marks on the main fuselage, scoring near critical hits to the space frame.

"Yeah, no kidding! It's going to take a week to get all of our ships in working order," Slippy sighed as he scratched underneath his cap. His Arwing was in worse condition with a wing tip blown off and a hole where one of its cannons used to be.

Wordlessly, Fox stumbled out of his cockpit and headed immediately to the Great Fox's mess hall. Slippy and Falco's gazes followed him until the doors were closed, and they exchanged a wordless look of concern over their captain, then peered at the last remaining starcraft.

Fox's Arwing was practically spotless minus a single scorch mark over the Star Fox insignia.

--

Following Peppy's retirement and the reduction of the squadron, it meant that Fox had to be on top of his game in every level. Thousands of hours were logged in the simulator, mock battles were held weekly between his squad mates, and he even learned basic engineering from Slippy. Star Fox no longer held the technological edge, and with the increasing pressure from fulfilling new roles and staying relevant in the Mercenary world, it was no surprise that Fox was at his wit's end.

He slumped forward on his chair, watching as the ice melted in his glass of bourbon.

"Hey Slip." He murmured, catching Slippy off guard as he tried to tiptoe around his moping boss. Slippy looked around for Falco, but realized he probably hit the showers (or whatever else the birdbrain was up to). He wasn't too experienced with relationships, so he let Falco do all the talking with anything to do with Krystal. After seeing the rough shape his captain was in, maybe it was time for a lighter touch.

"Heyyy," Slippy said slowly as he sat down next to Fox. His captain's eyes were sunken, his hair was a mess, and once he looked close enough, his inner shirt was inside out. It didn't take a genius to realize that even after all this time, he wasn't quite over her.

"What's up, Fox?"

"Slippy, am I a bad person?"

Slippy's physically recoiled from the question. He may not be the most sociable person around, but he even knew that this was one of the questions that you just don't ask your friends. Still...

"Are we talking legally or morally?" Slippy laughed. Fox returned with a look that would rival the unsettling gaze of a dead fish's eyeballs.

"Oh God."

"Let's talk about something else!" Slippy forced a laugh and pat his hands on the table, stepping yet into another conversation taboo, this time between Mercenaries. But when Fox saw that Slippy was trying to avoid the subject, he sighed.

"I'm sorry. Everything is just... A lot." Fox took a small sip, his face scrunching a little. Alcohol wasn't something he usually partook in, which made his attempt at calming down all the more pathetic.

"Everything including... everything and Krystal?"

Slippy took Fox's flinch as a physical "yes."

"Did I make the right call?"

Slippy took a moment to look at his friend and didn't see his captain, he saw a friend who needed help. He threw rank and hierarchy out the window. This conversation was friend-to-friend now, and he leaned in.

"Look, Fox. I know that you did what you think was right, and... Uh, I don't know. Most of the breakups I see on holo-tv have people not liking each other over time. But, like, it seems like you had too much responsibility to give her any attention she needed and that caused a breakup neither of you wanted."

"That is... Spot on, yeah," Fox sighed at the astute observation. He swirled his drink, this time more alive at the simple act of being heard out and validated.

"Not having Peppy is a lot harder than I thought. He always has an answer for everything."

Slippy smiled at the sound of his friend's name.

"Hey, how about we wash ourselves up, give Peppy a call, and we make ourselves proper drinks? How's that sound?"

"Sounds good, Slip." Fox smiled. Slippy returned the smile, sure in himself that he defused the delicate situation.

"Yo, is your ex a crack shot, or what?" Falco chimed in from behind, coming back from a quick rinse donning shorts and a plain white T-shirt. Slippy glared at him, worried that all the work just went down the drain, but Fox gave him a nonchalant shrug and downed the rest of his drink.

"Yeah. She sure is."

Barula and Pich? 👁

HELLO MY DEAR ROANOAKS, ALWAYS LOVELY TO SEE YOU IN MY INBOX <33

YES!! Barula and Pich are characters that @rainboopz and I have, in her setting of "The Sea King's Mermaid"! It's an Asian fantasy set unda da sea 🎶 and she's actually going to be publishing a website on it soon so everyone can learn more about the world and lore!! 👀

But for Bich specifically, these two have become just. two of our favorite bastards. And bastards they are-- irredeemable, absolute, bastards.

Barula is General of the North Sea, and Pich is General of the West Sea. Illicit affairs with your enemy? Oh my. It's more of an "enemies with benefits" situation going on, but they're also pretty friendly when their seas aren't actively at each other's throats (and even sometimes when they are lmAO). They swap notes on interrogation techniques, boast about victories, gossip like a pair of old grannies, and in general make themselves a pain in everyone else's asses.

Neither of the other Generals really like them-- of course Barula hates Chihaya, considering they're a shark, though their general demeanor and personality grates on his nerves as well. He did manage to take one of their teeth after an unfortunate… accident… led to Chihaya going into a blood frenzy-- which Barula was quick to put an end to, and he sure as shit never lets anyone forget that he bested a crazed shark General.

On the flip side, he doesn't mind Minseok… but he is salty that he's never bested the guy in any of their spars. He's General of the South, which Barula mostly considers a joke since all they really do is party. How the hell does a leafy seeahorse of all things, from the happy-go-lucky kingdom of all places, defeat him? General of the North, the most battle-hungry and warmongering kingdom in the seas, infamous even in his own right for being one of the most formidable warriors in the history of the four kingdoms. What the fuck!!

We haven't done as much on the Advisors of the four seas, but the North Sea Advisor, Hoaxuan, is also mine and they Do Not Get Along. But Hoaxuan doesn't get along with anyone in the North. (Wonder why...)

As you could probably tell, Barula is mine, so I can talk for him about hoouuuuurs. He's a striped dolphin with a hate-on for sharks, he's way smarter than anyone assumes from such a brute, and he shamelessly takes advantage of the privilege and authority afforded to him by his position. He worked damn fucking hard to reach the top, and like hell he isn't going to enjoy it to the absolute limit. His Emperor couldn't give less of a fuck either; Ganbold is a temperamental, stubborn, self-righteous old lung that, if anything, encourages Barula's abuses of power-- so long as it serves to strengthen the North (or at least its image). I mean, the Emperor himself doesn't seem to care much for doing shit by the book, so why the hell would Barula? (They're a hell of a pair tbh, enabling back and forth lmAO.) However, their closer relationship doesn't mean Barula is blind to Ganbold's flaws, and even he gets fed up with those divine temper tantrums. But part of his job is shutting up and obeying, and he doesn't really care about the motivations behind being sicced on someone by his Emperor, hehehe.

I have a playlist for Barula, appropriately titled "Barulastard," with such songs as "Animals (Cover)" by Living in Fiction, "Animal in Me" by Solence, "Move Your Body" by My Darkest Days, "Detonate" by Black Math, "Between Breaths" by Blaqk Audio, and "Limbo" by Freddie Dredd. It's about the vibes, man.

You can learn more about Barula on my Toyhouse: https://toyhou.se/21387196.barula

And Pich's Toyhouse is over here: https://toyhou.se/12707449.pich They have a lot of wickedsauce art by Rain, so plsplspls go check them out I'm not normal about them I love them.

(They'll both be getting updated bios for the website to keep all the TSKM bios uniform too, so look forward to that hehe.)

If you have any other questions about (or for) Barula, pls send 'em my way because he's my favorite bastard. (Or Minseok! He's also mine, tho he is not a bastard. His bio is a WIP but we just did some work on his lore recently and I'm sooooo in love with him rn.)

@rainboopz has been making some AWESOME Krystal/Kursed art lately, which you should all go look at! It made me remember my own Starfox OC and how little I’ve actually developed her at all. So, I wanted to revamp her while the inspiration kicked in. She didn’t even have a name before. (It’s pronounced Terra) I really like how this came out! I’ll put some more information about her story under the cut.

When I made this OC, I wanted her to be in Starwolf, but that’s pretty much all I figured. Originally I was going to pair her with Leon, but I just... really like Wolf. So, I went with that instead. I named her Ptera Chiro because Chiroptera is the scientific order bats are in. This goes with the general naming scheme in the games, like Fox and Panther and Leon (chameleon), etc. But, I didn’t want to just name her Batty or something like that, so.

Just like most of my other OCs, she’s--you guessed it--someone from our world. Yayyy! Ptera was walking home one day and found a weird looking, hexagonal puddle on the ground. When she poked it, it fused itself to her arm and dragged her through a hole. This was a puddle of Aparoid matter, and the hole was the hexagonal thing the Aparoids use to teleport in the games. Haven’t worked out how it got to her universe yet. Maybe its hexagon portal glitched out when all the Aparoids died.

Because Slippy’s family virus killer made the Aparoids inert, it doesn’t actively infect Ptera. It just binds to her arm. (hence why her sleeve totally covers that arm in the picture) She lands in the middle of the Starwolf gang while they’re doing an illegal deal and everyone’s like WTF, and they take her thinking she was eavesdropping or something. Then they realize what’s on her arm, and, well, they can’t exactly let her go now that she knows where they were and what they were doing, so they decide to work on stabilizing the Aparoid gunk so it doesn’t take Ptera over and kill them all. In doing so, they discover the matter gives her some neat abilities that make her useful for their jobs, and she becomes part of the team.

Ptera is a loud, awkward, very unskilled nerd. The outfit she came in got ripped up by her new wings and it sucked anyway, so the gang works together to get her some non-ugly duds. Panther bonds with her first, accepting her awkwardness with casual flirting and helping her be confident. Wolf teaches her ballistic defense so she doesn’t shoot her own eye out and Leon teaches her balance and martial defense because, as much fun as it is to laugh at her, if she gets him killed then everyone will be laughing at him.

Wolf and Leon intimidate her at first. But, she has a ton of fun blowing things up and laughing at chaos, which helps her befriend Leon. Wolf finds her nerdy chattering and stumbling both annoying and charming, and tolerates it with a halfhearted glare. She’s very eager to please and grins so wide when he tells her she did a good job, but doesn’t hesitate to put her foot down when he pushes it. Panther thinks she’s going to get shot the first time she yells at him to stop berating her, but instead Wolf laughs and ruffles her hair. It helps break the ice, and eventually turn into something more. She likes dancing to silly music with Panther, rambling with Leon about knives and what organs to stab them into, and watching sports games and crime shows with Wolf while he explains the details to her. While she’s not the most talented of the bunch, she’s just as eager to cause destruction, and so over time they’re glad to have someone so enthusiastic to hang out with.
