 Beware...Massive turbulence overtook the Halberd as it went through the atmosphere. Shadow had remembered that the wings had been tucked in, but since he had cleared the atmosphere, he had decided to extend all six, starting with the largest and ending with the smallest. Their bat like shape slowed the ship down a significantly large amount. Shadow now turned all thrusters off. The only thing he needed to worry about now was a crash, because although the Halberd wasn't going anywhere near half the speed it was before, a crash would still cause a massive crater. That's when he caught sight of a mountain. He then decided to test out the only voice command he had put on the Halberd at the moment, which would mean his doom if it failed. Shadow then shouted at the top of his lungs "DO A BARREL ROLL!" The ship responded and got out of the way rather rapidly. He was extremely relieved, and he proceeded to land deep within the forest, leaving a deep scar, but that was nothing compared to what he had avoided. When Shadow inspected the ship, a lot of the bottom hull had gaping scars, and the bottom turrets were completely obliterated. "This is great... just perfect..." Shadow's fatigue caught up with him and he fell on the floor, unconscious. ...Metaknight has arrived

As Shadow collapsed, the golden fighter landed a few hundred yards away, and in a matter of minutes the pilot was standing over him, deciding what to do.

"He did a pretty good landing for such a big ship, repairs are requied of course..."
Koudo needed to find the hatch into the ship in order to get in and find McKnight inside there somewhere. Koudo was good at repairing heavy weaponry, nothing else really went well when he didn't repair heavy classed tech. Koudo activated his comlink and spoke of the Halberd's frequency.
"Hey, McKnight? You alive in there? If not, say nothing and I'll start pawning off parts of your ship."

Oull crouched down under his ship and opened the hatch, causing the object fall with an echoing thud. "Yowch, that things heavier than it looks." He noticed what he had that was carvings wre actually red crust. "Eh, looks like I was wrong." He pulled it out and carried it over to a table with a heck lot of grunting. "gagh, it really is heavier than it looks."
He cleaned off the crud and realized it was a case, though there were no markings to show the owner. "weird, maybe there's something on the inside." He gripped the lid and pulled with all his strength but it wouldn't budge. "Hmm, sealed air-tight."

He leapt up onto the cockpit of the halberd, his talons digging into the side of the metal to keep grip as he grabbed the comlink. "Who is this?"

A crash rang through the hangar as oull banged on the container with a wrench. "Why won't this thing work." He was so angry that when he hit the part connecting his ship to to one of it's wings broke and the wing fell onto the floor, and his foot. "...SON OF A!!" He pulled out his foot from under the wing and hopped around due to the pain. "ow, ow, ow, ow!"

Silence.
He dropped back to the ground and picked the bat up under his arm and drug him back to the golden fighter.

"Put down McKnight buddy and no one gets hurt."
Koudo had his rifle raised at this stranger, he maybe friendly, but Koudo didn't want to take a chance with a stranger.
"I got a medpac right here, so you can put him down."
Koudo pointed his rifle at the floor for the stranger to place down McKnight, he was olny using one hand for his rifle at the moment. He was using his left hand to grab the medpac he had on his pilot's belt. Koudo was a little dissapointed that he could pawn off the ship, but that was dissrespectful thoughts. Oroginally it was a joke, but he actaully considered it after.

His green visor began to flash and beep, evidently some sort of visual feed on his target. In a flash he tossed the bat to him and pulled his rifle off his back, the barrel extending out of the stock and aimed it at his new target.

"Man, what am I gonna do about this mess?" Oull looked at the busted wing for a few seconds but shrugged and went back to the container. He readied thw wrench and lifted it up high above his head and readied to hit the container. "Time to die container!" He began to hit the container near the lid, the bangs ringing all through the hangar.

"Shoudl have known, you're just some salvager looking to dispose of the evidence."
Koudo knew a ship like the Halberd would attract the scavengers of the plains. This stranger's hostility was only proof of it as his rifle was drawn from his back. Koudo dropped the medpac and used his left arm to grab the thrown body of McKnight.
"I don't appreciate you throwing around my friend's body scavenger, get out of here. The owner of this ship is still alive and can very much charge for theft if you steal anything buddy."
Koudo wasn't looknig to shoot at anyone, he was more worried about McKnight's condition. He looked a bit bruised, but Koudo couldn't really tell that well through his fur. He maybe needed medical attention and this stranger was only being a nuisance.

The huge golden bird only stood there, barrel staring straight at the stranger. There was a flashing light coming from the left side of his visor, and it was obvious that if he were to shoot, it would be accurate. He held the enormous rifle outstretched in one hand as if it were nothing the other fingering the hilt of the beam saber on his belt. And then he spoke:
"I don't much appreciate you calling me a scavenger. I'm here for the same reasons as everyone else lizard, I have no interest in that junker of a ship over there, or your friend. That ship looked like it could go out with a bang any minute, so I brought him over towards my ship. I now see that was a bad idea, should have figured someone would come looking for him."

"Whatever bird, should have said something earlier buddy. Also, don't call the Halberd junk, noting is more precise then a pilot's ship. The Halberd is pretty sturdy and he had only suffered damges to her belly, worst case scenario is a few broken bottom engines and weaponry."
Koudo believed the bird, he seemed like the honest type. He didn't like how he called the Halberd junk. Insultings a man's ship would be worst then insuling his mother in Koudo's general opinion. He placed back his gun into his holster and opened the medical pack to reveal a few medical needles. These were pain killers usaully designed for thick scales, Koudo would have to carefully drain some of the fluid in order to not cause McKnight to overdose. Koudo opened one of the needle's caps and poured a bit out behind himself. The needle was now at half the required amount for himself, considering Koudo was much bigger then McKnight nad required more. He placed the cap back on and placed the needle into McKnight's right arm, right below the joint and far above the wrist.
"There we go, thanks buddy...I suppose..."
Koudo would just stay and wait for McKnight to wake up, then they could salvage what they could from the Halberd or try to fix it.

"Bottom engine damage is what I was worried about, I had no idea what type of engine that ship runs on, and I didn't feel like waiting to find out if it would end with a bang." He eased the rifle down and flipped it onto a powerful magnet clip on his back as the barrel collapsed into the stock. With a few strokes of his powerful wings he was up and sitting on top of his fighter as he watched the lizard inject the bat with some sort of med.

Okay, are you listening?
Grass grows,
Birds fly,((Boom, all the engines in StarFox are plasma engines.)) Fokkusu sped through narrowly dodging asteroids while swearing at the top of his lungs. Suddenly several flashes of light caught his eye, then a bunch of red dots appeared on his radar. They all came from his right. He quickly turned his head to see what the hell was going on.... He could hardly beleive what he saw. It seems that every gun and missile that the Halberd shot was heading towards Fokkusu's general direction. "Holy s**t!" He yelled. "I need to do a barrel roll!" Fokkusu quickly looked to his left and saw a clearing in the asteroids. He stepped on the third pedal and slammed the right joystick up all the way. It slides across the dash board which it rests upon. A barrage of explosions rang out from small sockets in the bottom of his right wing sending it into a franticly fast barrel roll. It worked and it flung his ship to the left away from the fire of the Halberd. Sadly, he did not escape the concussion wave which sent him hurtling away into space. "Noooooooooo!" He shouted out as he violently tumbled away.
Sun shines,
And brother...
I hurt people.
