Racing Danger
Sunset quickly sent the alert out to her friends. "Girls, we need to get moving now!" she snapped over the comms. "This place is about to go from live training to live battle, and we're ground zero!"
"What?" Raquel demanded as she raced up. "How did that happen? What's going on?"
"A battle against the last of Andross' forces!" Pris called out as everyone gathered, Faris getting there just ahead of Jackie and Diane somehow already being there. "We need to get back to base now-yipe!" She leapt up as the tree she was standing in unfolded into a gun placement that began firing randomly. "That's not supposed to be there!"
"I don't think this was an accident," Sunset stated as she pulled Pris out of the tree, getting the group to ground level and ducking under an automated tank's view as it rolled by. "Did it seem to anyone else that this field trip came out of nowhere...and has suspiciously few adult overseers?"
"Y-you think it was a trap?" Faris managed to ask. "But why?"
"Because in addition to being in the accelerated courses, some of us also happen to have rather significant connections to the military and quasi-military forces that might be thrown against the invading force," Raquel pointed out with a growl as she rapidly began tapping on her wrist console, causing everyone's Diffusion Weave garb to shift coloration to a more camouflaged shade. "Thus making us ideal hostages to use against General Pepper-" She glanced at Diane. "-or Team Star Fox." Her glance shifted to Sunset. "Not to mention others of rank high and low throughout the military." Here she glanced at Faris, who ducked her head to hide under her hair.
"Then why not send in Team Star Wolf?" Pris demanded urgently. "They may not have as stellar a rep as Star Fox, but they've gone straight and Wolf O'Donnell would love to have McCloud owing him one for saving his kid!"
"Wait, O'Donnell?" Jackie demanded in surprise. "Dark blue and silver fur, about yea high-" She gestured a height not much taller than herself. "-missing his left eye?"
"Of course you know his looks, he's infamous-wait," Pris paused, turning to Jackie. "How come it's his last name that tipped you off?"
Jackie carefully looked away. "...no reason..." she began awkwardly.
"Other than being registered in school as 'Jaqueline O'Donnell'?" Raquel pressed gently.
"You're related to that mercenary bastard?" Pris gasped in shock.
"Hey!" Jackie snapped angrily. "Gramps may not be choosy about jobs, but his folks were definitely hitched before he was conceived!"
Gramps? Sunset thought in surprise, finding the situation oddly humorous...a humor quickly dispelled as they were all forced to duck under further fire as the forces engaged in the skies above. "We can talk family histories later!" she snapped out. "Right now we need to avoid getting killed or captured and used as hostages."
"We'll have better luck on that if we can get in the air," Pris spoke up quickly, her feathers shifting as she sought familiar landmarks.
"Well that's rather obvious," Raquel complained. "But it's not like one of us just happens to have six Arwings stashed somewhere nearby that no one knows about!"
"...back at the temp dorms, actually..." Faris offered meekly.
Everyone turned to stare at her in shock. Sunset was the first to find her voice. "And...how do you just happen to have six unaccounted for Arwings to stash?"
"...he may be a pervy ass most of the time, but he's also rather overprotective..."
Pris stared at her in shock. "Faris, if we make it out of this alive, tell Zeke to join us for lunch, okay?"
"But he still needs to mind his manners while eating," Raquel insisted.
"Well, for now we need to get to the dorms while they're still standing and get in those Arwings!" Sunset insisted. "And last I checked, that's about 30 miles that way." She pointed through the heaviest part of the active combat, where laser fire, missiles, and bombs turned the once tranquil forest into a war zone. "I don't suppose anyone has any ideas how to do that safely?" She sighed as no one responded. "...how about stupid-awesomely?" she asked desperately.
"Sorry, left my trading cards back at the dorms," Diane apologized helpfully.
Five heads rotated to stare at Diane...who was standing in front of six All Terrain Hover Cycles not unlike those Sunset had raced on back on Dinosaur Planet, each bearing a single patch in their colors among the camouflage.
Sunset shook her head ruefully. "I really shouldn't be surprised, should I?"
"Oh dear..." Faris observed nervously as the group raced for the cycles. "I don't know if this will work-"
"Holy shit, these things have guns!" Pris squealed excitedly as she found the targeting controls.

I was waiting for it nice work.
Not bad, how many more characters before the mega crossover?
I don't know why, but for some reason, I expected Sunset just to go full magical rampageon everyone. It makes no sense, but that's what I sort of expected. It would make a terrible story, just her trying to incinerate everything. Aaand now I can't get the image out of my head. Dammit...
Anyway, thanks for updating this. Feels like its been a long time coming, as short as it was.
And now I try to remember whos who:
Sunset is Sunset
Diane is Pinke
Recuel is Rarety
Pris is Reinbow
Faris is Flutershy
Jaquline is Appeljack
Did I get everyone right?
Well worth the wait, I'd say.
Wolf: "You're mine you little bra-...Jack-Jack, what're you doing in this airspace?"
J: "Uh, heya Gramps, maybe check the full names of the people yer sent to kill next time, eh?"
W: "...I am going to carve out Pigma's heart...Don't tell your mother about this."
J: "Only if you get us all ice cream. Triple scoop."
W: *grumbles* "Fine..."
Faris and Diane coming in clutch. Zeke is a good expy name.
9497227 I'd so love for that to happen. It reminds me of Venture Bros Season 6 When Wide Wale found out that his older brother Dr. Dugong was alive
Pris clearly has her priorities straight.
Seriously Tats, how do you keep doing this?~
9497227
THIS! SO MUCH THIS!
You know when Wolf and Fox finds out who targeted their Granddaughter and Daughter respectively they will for one time only work together to kill said perpetrator.
9497220
I think so. It's been a long time that I forgot.
I respect your consistency.
Oh F
me running. We're all f
ing doomed.
Now what would an up and coming diplomat need with 6 fully armed hover cycles? Is she an assassin?
9497435
It's called 'Aggressive Diplomacy'.
Thanks Pinkie-equivalent, your blatant violation of all physics and logic was really convenient this time!
9497443
Ah yes I see. How does the saying go "shotgun to the face, finger on the trigger, do as I say of the mouth gets bigger"
I fully expect him to CREEEEEEEED!! a hover assault tank into a hotel.
9497414
In before they are party cannons
If I may channel One Minute Melee for a moment,
"TRIUMPH OR DIE!
GO FOR BROKE!"
9497202
I know Celestia is slated for Star Trek, and there's been talk about Starlight for Gravity Falls... maybe Spitfire for Kid Icarus... Beyond that I don't know.
Lol Wow the AJ is is star wolf's grand kid. Hahahahahahaha! Oh Sunset will so have a interesting talk with her.
9497495
You mean she as Raquel is the rarity counterpart and the team has been strictly female so far
I'm so happy to be reading Tatsurou's stories again!
NO CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!!? This is heresy!
Trying to capture this group is either the smartest or dumbest thing anyone has ever done.
So glad to see this story up and running again. :)
9497227
Hushcream lol
9497443
Touchè
You did well. I'm a avid fan of Star Fox, most of it's games and a hell of a lot of the lore. This story has yet to let me down and each release has been a worth while read. With this being the prequel to the third of at most, five games in a canonical sequence (that last one very open to interpretation, have fun.), I can't wait to see what you do with this world. (universe? AU? Whatever, you get the point.)
I feel bad.. for the invading army
They don’t even know how fucked they are
9504948
Ikr, and that's before you take the apperoids into account
Silly thought: pod racing reference, or more accurately dangit pris this isn't podraceing
9497202
None assumeing tats is actually keeping to the twenty two timelines thing he stated in order and chaos
9514759
That's been changed.
9514761
Figured but thought it was better to say it just in case
9514761
Would you mind telling us who you haven't started yet that you have planned?
9514801

Dazzlings raised by Deathklok (Metalocalypse)...or by Kirby, Metaknight, and Dedede (Kirby), haven't decided which.
9514818
I haven't heard of Dirty Pair Flash, is it an anime?
9514852
Yes it is. Give it a watch and you'll see why I want to send Derpy there.
9514863
Can it be found on Crunchyroll or VRV? If not I might have to go off of the story alone as I'm limited to my Xbox for net access.
9514876
I don't know about VRV, but it's not on Crunchyroll.
It is available on watchcartoononline, though.
9514940
I'll give the site a try, worst that will happen is it not working.
9498073
5d's was awesome!
9514818
Ok kinda of a dumb question but are you going to do Luna or would that be the nightmare moon story with Ralph and his part of the Pixar universe
9557189
The Nightmare Moon story
