As expected, Odin wasn’t too happy about being the intended target for a face-full of laser fire, no matter how otherwise inconsequential it might have been for him. Though, the fact that he bothered countering it stood to suggest otherwise, and as per intentions, they now had a slightly better idea of what he was capable of. With fist drawn back, the Demon Lord peered out over the treeline and shot down directly at Fox, aiming to make an example of him. Fortunately, him and Luigi had just enough time to evade the incoming attack. Fox was fast enough on his own to dive out of the way, but he had some added help from Luigi. Even if it was unnecessary, it could never be said that Luigi didn’t mean well. And people call him a coward...

The earth rippled beneath the two as they scattered, throwing them both with more force than either had actually intended. They may have been out of the way, but they were both sure to feel it. Fox was sent into an uncontrolled tumble that put him sliding on his back, to which he popped up backwards onto the balls of his feet and came skidding to a halt. The lead valkyrie, undeservedly donning the headwear of a fallen legend, came into proximity, providing Fox with a much wanted momentary distraction from answering the green plumber’s question as he trained his sights on her. Suddenly, Naija barrels in to (literally) knock her down a level and pass the younger brother replenishment before resuming flight to flee from the three bogeys she had tailing her. As is usual of most cases, Fox was specifically called on to take care of it. Some things just never change.

Luigi seconded Naija’s command with an unusually subdued tone as the valkyrie leader got back up. Again, the order was obvious to the point of redundancy, as the anthro was already on the same mind track. However, it made all the clearer the fact that Luigi wanted to deal with her personally, which Fox understood all too well, so he thought the better of it to leave him to his devices. With an affirmative nod, Fox spun his blaster back into its holster and bolted off to assist his team leader.

On his way to intercept as Naija made another round, out of nowhere came a maimed, wingless valkyrie flying haplessly overhead in the same direction. He would need the extra boost to put himself at level with Naija and her pursuers, so this was oddly convenient. The pilot leapt to catch her by the head with an upward sault kick. In the same motion, he would leverage himself up onto the back of her neck to violently footstool off of her, gracefully propelling himself higher as he stomped her down. At the apex of his ascent, he brought both arms in at his sides and began to build up energy, and a loud flanging swell hummed as the air around him flared and ignited. After a two-second charge, Fox shot forward headfirst with furious force into the side of the trio chasing the siren.

With success, he would effectively blindside the entire group, killing the first one he made contact with. He would then attempt to capitalize on this with a reverse roundhouse kick to both of their heads; the maneuver cutting a motion trail of fire through the air. Provided this wouldn’t be enough, he would follow through on the front-most valkyrie with a flurry of roundhouse kicks to drag her down with him as he descended, and as she bounced from the impact of hitting the ground, Fox would finish the series of strikes with a reverse tornado kick to send her through a smoldering, crumbling remainder of an erect wall segment. That would just leave the third one, which was as simple as two shots to the head, so he casually whipped out his blaster as he turned in her direction to see to that. With that taken care of, Naija would be free to assist the rest of the squad however she needed to.

The vulpine had landed a couple of yards adjacent to Samus, who he noticed just after firing his last shots. He turned his head slightly in his resumed direction and passed an approving, friendly smirk her way. Though they had a few particularities and a loosely shared history in common, they weren’t so familiar as to be on a close friendship basis, but enough that he respected her and considered her an ever honored comrade. After the brief, implicit salutation, Fox quickly made off back into the fray to rejoin the others in their efforts.
