Falco Lombardi and Leon Powalski shot down the road at maximum throttle for many seconds, rapidly picking up speed as their fighter craft flew only a small number of feet above the roadway at speeds normal to their craft. Their stress and attention to the course and their opponent being very high at the same time as they battled together once again. They found the event exciting and nerve-wracking, but at the same time very strange and alien to anything they had ever done before.\n\tOnce they got halfway to the first tunnel, they were constantly at full throttle, using none of their boost as they maintained a gentle separation of distance between them, Leon slowly slipping in front of Falco and slowly crawling past for the lead. Falco's first instinct deep down was to use his targeting system and lock on to Leon's X-Wolfen Rainbow Delta and unleash a nova bomb right in his rear engine... but his mind's gears clashed at the thought that he couldn't do that in this event, his craft's weapons having been removed by the rules of the race. Likewise, Leon's sonar showed he had a bogey on his six, the gentle alarm making his heart beat a little quicker realizing Falco was behind him... but he grinned a bit and chuckled it off, knowing he was ahead in this situation and that his life was totally safe. He sighed a little at the sensation of knowing that a long-time rival being behind him didn't mean he had to pray for both seconds of the remainder of his life. The only fighting they had to do was to get to the end first and alive. It was something they weren't used to at all... and they were loving it so far.\n\tThe first stretch of road before the tunnel was a flat and wide road that slowly curved off to the left over several miles, a couple slightly sharper left turns in it before the tunnel opening, so not much of a challenge in the route so far. They both knew there was little in the way of two different vehicles trying to pass one another in this area. “Part of what irks me about this route is not the fact that it is new this year for the Grand Prix, but the fact that the actual route looks different in certain places than it did on the map,” Falco thought to himself. “Some of the curves are actual corners you have to plan appropriately by slowing down and taking the turn at the right speed and angle, which is not too big a deal I guess if you were in a car... but the fact we are in space craft that levitate off the ground a few feet, even more preparation has to be made in order to not skid your wingtips into the ground, not to mention stay on a course that was originally built for passenger automobiles... this is really tricky...”\n\tSoon they entered the first tunnel, the opening just enough to allow both craft to fly through without collision. It was certainly no place to overtake with how large Falco and Leon's craft were. They were thinking the same would be the case for Miyu and Wolf when they took their turn next. “I must admit... you got my heart racing there for a second, my raptor friend,” Leon thought to himself. “Seeing you behind me just then brought back memories of the many times you and I were in a dogfight... when being in front was a death sentence.” Leon's grin slowly widened as he used a little of his boost out of the exit of the first tunnel to pull away from Falco a little more. “But now, being in front is ADVANTAGEOUS to me, isn't it? Can you pass me, much less keep up with me?”\n\n\t--The starting line by the Star Fox tent--\n\n\tROB continued to play the footage of the race from the television channel broadcasting it onto a wall of the canvas tent, his internals also displaying health info on Falco as well as status of his craft off to the side. It showed at elevated heart beat in Falco, but nothing dangerous or out of the ordinary. Peppy sat next to ROB's side as he chimed in to Miyu's craft as she and Wolf sat at the starting line, engines running at gentle idle waiting for Falco and Leon to return. \n\t“Miyu, do you copy?” Peppy said into his mic, looking into the camera on his laptop.\n\t“I copy, Pepster. Wassup?” Miyu replied calmly.\n\t“Not to diss Falco and his abilities at all, but I'm thinking he may be at a disadvantage against Leon,” Peppy began. “Both craft are fast, but Leon's Rainbow Delta is a bit more agile and faster than Falco's Skyclaw, so I'm thinking Falco is going to be struggling a little to not only keep up, but to have the chance to pass him at all if he does keep up.”\n\t“I was thinking the exact same thing,” Miyu said. \n\t“Which if it was true, and it is almost certain to be, Leon's gonna make it back just seconds before Falco does,” Peppy said.\n\t“Even so, I can catch up to and pass Wolf easily,” Miyu said with a cherry voice and smile.\n\t“Attagirl,” Peppy said cheerfully, yet softly. “I have no doubt you will be able to pass Wolf somewhere on this course.”\n\t“I DID promise him a good view of my ass, and I'm adamant he gets it as he loses,” Miyu said with a giggle.\n\t“Hehehe... naughty kitty. Peppy out,” he said in reply with a chuckle.\n\t“Miyu out,” she said, sitting in her Interceptor, eyes focused on the straightaway coming back to the start.\n\t“Hey Panther, are you in?” Wolf said into his mic.\n\t“Yeah, I'm here,” Panther replied.\n\t“I'm thinking Leon should have no problem coming back before Falco, but it may not be by too much of a margin,” Wolf started off. “So I'm very likely to start off with a small lead ahead of Miyu, but I'm not terribly sure I'll be able to stay ahead of her.”\n\t“NOW who's talking pessimism, hmm?” Panther said softly and coyly with a grin.\n\tWolf grimaced quietly at Panther's snide comment and continued. “Anyways, I'm thinking I should be able to stay ahead of her for a lot of the track. There are only a few areas that she can pass me, so my concentration will be on the few curves where she will have an advantage. Regardless of what happens, you need to focus on that bunny.”\n\t“That will not only be way too easy, but also way too exciting to do,” Panther said in a sinister tone.\n\t“Ease up there. Captain Cuttridge's car is small enough he could very well pass you on almost all of the corners, not to mention in the tunnels themselves, which none of the rest of us can do. That and your ship is almost as fast as his. The race is very likely gonna come down to you and him at the very end, so no lollygagging and no playing around,” Wolf directed.\n\tPanther sighed off-mic and rolled his eyes. “Roger that, Wolf,” he said as he sat in his X-Wolfen Red Rose behind Wolf's craft and across from Leo's Speedwell. He looked over at Leo in his car and saw the bunny sitting in the driver's seat holding his paws together with his eyes closed, Leo in a calm meditating pose. “Hehe... the calm before the storm, little bunny. Enjoy your peaceful moments.”\n\t\n\t--exit of the first tunnel, 75% of the course remaining--\n\n\tFalco and Leon shot out of the tunnel at high speed, avian following lizard as they began to approach the first hard corner of the course, a hard right-hander before a short road that led to a soft left hand curve that lasted for about 5 miles. Not only was slowing down and focusing on approaching the curves appropriately a great challenge to those in fighter craft, but the soft curves didn't have any raised embankments outside of any tunnels they could utilize to maintain stability on the road. \n\tFalco watched as Leon engaged his flaps and air brakes to lower his speed just before the corner and followed suit, watching the Wolfen craft bank softly to the right and then rocket off down the short straight away to the next turn, Falco carefully mimicking his moves to try and keep up. When he fell behind, he engaged his boost in short bursts of only a few seconds at a time to limit the usage of the booster fuel reserve he had on board to catch up to Leon. The tall avian seethed as he felt like he was struggling to maintain his path to keep up with Leon, but he breathed slow and deep to keep his concentration and not make any rash judgments or sudden moves of bravado to try and pass.\n\tAs they entered the left-hander to the next section, they continued to gently accelerate using only normal engine propulsion, flying along the road at close to Mach 1 as they tried to stay on the road, their craft flying flawlessly. The next section was a literal series of curves that resulted in a lengthy U-turn that led to the entrance of the second tunnel, one that had a moderately sharp left-hand turn where interior space was very limited. Once both craft entered the left-hand turn, Falco decided to test the waters and moved gently forward on his throttle as he edged closer to the inside curve of the road to make an attempt to pass Leon. He was pleasantly surprised Leon didn't block him or otherwise fight him to maintain the lead and instead pulled ahead into the lead on gentle roads.\n\tLeon chuckled as he watched Falco slowly pass him, backing off his throttle by about 10% or so at the most to stay right behind the Arwing. “Hehehe... eager to let me study YOUR movements? Fine by me, the party has just begun!” Leon thought to himself, his eyes now focusing on Falco's movements from his angle of tilt from one side to the other, his speed, his actions, his positions on the track, everything. \n\n\t--The Star Fox Pit--\n\n\tPeppy sighed as he watched the drone cameras following both craft report Falco's passing Leon, listening to the TV show commentators reporting on the race live as they too watched the event take place.\n\t“Well this is interesting, look at this, Lombardi is actually slowly passing Powalski on a gentle curve and Powalski is doing nothing!” Drummond said with a bit of excitement in his voice.\n\t“Yes Drummond,” Markinson said. “The reason for Leon's calmness is he's getting the chance to observe Lombardi now that he has taken the lead.”\n\t“Exactly,” Clay said with a nod. “Lombardi has taken a bit of a risk taking the lead so early on in the race, so this could very well be his undoing.”\n\t“We'll know for sure before the end of the last tunnel what happens, not just with these two, but indeed with all pairs of racers,” Markinson added.\n\t“Yes, this track is quite interesting,” Drummond agreed. “You really won't know for sure who will cross the finish line first until you see them exit the last tunnel, for it is a long straightaway with a mild left-hand curve the rest of the way.”\n\t“Falco kinda screwed himself there, didn't he?” Fara asked as she stood right by Fox's side as they all watched the program unfold live.\n\t“Yeah, kinda,” Fox agreed. “Falco doesn't have the coolest of minds, but he can recover from a lot of sudden events quickly.”\n\t“Right, but even in this situation,” Peppy added. “He doesn't have the free skies or space to move about where he wants like he's used to. All of us except Leo are handicapped by that factor. It would not surprise me if Leon passes him really soon, leaving Falco to struggle the rest of the way.”\n\n\t--entry of the second tunnel, 55% of the course remaining--\n\n\tLeon's eyes had never concentrated on Falco's movements so deeply and for so long than since he passed him. He could see what Wolf was on about when he said that this may happen and that the race would be completely different than anything they ever experienced before. Leon certainly found it an intriguing challenge now that the tables had turned. He was impressed by how Falco had chosen really good lines in each of the curves, entering at the outer edge and exiting at the apex, keeping a maximum speed with very little in the way of shaky movements... but he was noticing that Falco's movements from one side of the track weren't as quick as his own, proving Leon having the faster and more responsive craft. \n\tFalco's heart beat faster in a bout of nervousness, both from the fact his past experiences of having Leon behind him would likely result in death, and also the fact that Leon's movements were gentle and smooth the whole way, all while maintaining a close proximity to Falco's rear end. He kept glancing down at the close-range radar on his dashboard and saw Leon within no less than 12 feet and no more than 25 feet at all times. He felt he was maintaining a good lead, but still, something felt very amiss about the whole situation.\n\tWhen they entered the second tunnel to begin a sharp left curve inside it, Falco noticed Leon wasn't slowing down as much as he was beforehand, the tip of Leon's craft getting much closer to the rear of Falco's craft by almost 3 feet at times. This made Falco gasp and throttle forward a bit, his movements a bit shaky to keep them from colliding inside the tunnel. “Dammit... how can he do that???” Falco thought to himself as he struggled a little to maintain a smooth line through the tunnel, seeing the exit soon and rocketing forward to try and escape Leon's grasp, but the lizard continued to cling to his six eagerly. \n\tFalco grimaced at the inability to shake Leon as he entered a soft left curve followed by a sharp right-hander that led to the longest and narrowest tunnel in the whole course, a shift digging through the mountains a good ten miles long that was only good for two-lane traffic. Once Falco and Leon had gone through the left hand curve to approach the right-hander before the tunnel entrance, Leon focused sharply on Falco's moves to wait for the right time. \n\tFalco moved into the left lanes just before the right-hand curve to enter it and take it on the inside edge, taking an entry-oriented attack on the turn, but before Falco could get all the way across the road, Leon suddenly accelerated and aimed his craft for the right wing of Falco's craft. Falco's proximity alarm went off at Leon's advance. He could see Leon was trying to pass Falco on the inside, which made Falco speed up a little and turn sharper into the right lane to cut off Leon.\n\tLeon then grinned and backed off his throttle and gently adjusted his steer to the opposite side of the road to now approach Falco's craft from behind on the left side, banking his Rainbow Delta craft to the right and going forward on the throttle to pass Falco on the outside edge. “WH—WHAT THE?!?!?!” Falco thought as he watched Leon's extremely fast movements as Leon passed Falco on the outside edge of the curve right before the longest tunnel and began to rocket away.\n\t“Bye-bye, birdie,” Leon said softly to himself as he shoved his throttle all the way forward into boost, shooting himself away from Falco as they entered the tunnel, Leon focusing on taking the sharpest and most precise line possible to run away from Falco, the action making Falco groan and throttle forward in response to try and catch up.\n\n\t--The Star Fox Pit--\n\n\t“And there we go, as predicted,” Markinson said as the video of the race being fed by the flying drones following Falco and Leon continued. “Lombardi only took the lead for a short time before being passed again.”\n\t“True, and with the superior maneuverability of Leon's craft against Falco's Skyclaw, this lead is likely to maintain,” Drummond said, a bit of disgust in his voice.\n\t“Looking like the next leg of the race will have Wolf O'Donnell starting off just a few seconds before Lt Miyu Lynx will be,” Clay said. “I know you're disappointed by that, Drummond.”\n\t“I just want to see Lt Lynx and Capt Cuttridge win, they are so amazing!” Drummond replied with excitement.\n\t“Well, we'll have to see how the rest of the race turns out,” Markinson finished as the video footage went back full screen to the drone footage following the craft.\n\t“I knew that was gonna happen,” Slippy said, rolling his eyes a bit. “He gets on me for getting into trouble at the very start of the mission, and this is what he does in a race on the ground.”\n\tMost of everyone around chuckled at that remark. “Haha, very true, dude,” Bill said. “Falco isn't known to have the most civility or calmness.”\n\t“For as long as I've known him, he has always been a hothead,” Katt said, remembering the times before Falco joined the Cornerian Academy to earn his wings while he was still in motorcycle gangs way back when.\n\t“It's just as I suspected would happen, too,” Peppy said. “But I think Miyu will be able to easily balance this out well for us. It just depends on how Leo handles Panther on the final round of the race.”\n\n\t--exit of the 3rd tunnel, 25% of the course remaining--\n\n\tFalco watched as Leon expertly ran through the smallest and longest tunnel with great speed and ease, finding it difficult to keep up with him. The stress of all the mental concentration compiled on top of the physical exhaustion of his hand and foot movements of keeping his craft where he wanted it was taking a toll on the tall avian, making him slow down more than normal at sooner times for longer times as he entered corners and especially navigated through the tunnel without colliding. It also stressed him to see Leon going through the corners and tight areas with very little effort as he slowly sped away from him.\n\tLeon chuckled as he saw Falco's craft slowly falling more and more behind him as he exited the tunnel, flying down the road to a back-to-back left and then right corner before the final tunnel, which was wide open, but very short and had a sharp left turn. “Don't get me wrong, Falco... I still hold you in high regard... it's just that I am faster in this contest,” Leon thought to himself, guiding his Rainbow Delta Wolfen craft over the road and through the corners, having to airbrake sharply before the right hander before the tunnel.\n\tFalco air braked hard at the sharp curve to turn into it and then slammed forward on the throttle as quick as he could, then got onto the boost to try and catch up to Leon, but his heart sank as he looked down the road just before the final tunnel entrance and saw Leon's craft not only so far ahead, but it was about to turn into the tunnel, knowing his chance to finish ahead was nil. He still did his best to fly at his best performance into the final leg of the course, banking sharply left into the tunnel as he kept as high on the throttle as he possibly could. His craft shook in all sort of directions inside the tunnel as he did his best to maintain control in the confined space, then shot out at full boost on the exit, doing his best to catch up to Leon as he also was in full boost on the way back to the finish line, a good 3 or 4 seconds ahead of Falco as they went down the final straightaway.\n\t\n\t--The Star Fox Pit--\n\n\t“Here they come, Miyu,” Peppy said into his mic on his headset. “Do not proceed until Falco crosses the line.”\n\t“Roger that,” Miyu said, her sharp and beautiful deep blue eyes gazing down the road at the returning craft as she throttled her engine on her Interceptor slowly more, the sound of Wolf's Redfang Wolfen fighter also spooling up.\n\tWolf then tuned into Star Fox's com channel, looking over at Miyu in her craft. “Sorry about this, darling, I know you wanted to show off dat ass to me, but doesn't look like that's gonna happen,” he said to Miyu.\n\t“Hehe... I don't make promises I don't intend to keep, wuffy boy,” Miyu said, blowing him a kiss and winking at Wolf cutely.\n\t“You cutting in on my girl, O'Donnell?” Leo said with a grin and chuckle. “Thought you liked them older women?”\n\t“What the...

~Star Fox:  Miyu's Love~

~Chapter 29:  The Cornerian Grand Prix:  A Tag-Team Effort – Leon vs Falco~


\tTensions and excitement came to an all-time high in this final race of the Cornerian Grand Prix, two very well-known teams known to be competitive in fights for their very lives competing once again for the glory of winning the race.  Falco Lombardi and Leon Powalski shot down the road at maximum throttle for many seconds, rapidly picking up speed as their fighter craft flew only a small number of feet above the roadway at speeds normal to their craft.  Their stress and attention to the course and their opponent being very high at the same time as they battled together once again.  They found the event exciting and nerve-wracking, but at the same time very strange and alien to anything they had ever done before.
\tOnce they got halfway to the first tunnel, they were constantly at full throttle, using none of their boost as they maintained a gentle separation of distance between them, Leon slowly slipping in front of Falco and slowly crawling past for the lead.  Falco's first instinct deep down was to use his targeting system and lock on to Leon's X-Wolfen Rainbow Delta and unleash a nova bomb right in his rear engine... but his mind's gears clashed at the thought that he couldn't do that in this event, his craft's weapons having been removed by the rules of the race.  Likewise, Leon's sonar showed he had a bogey on his six, the gentle alarm making his heart beat a little quicker realizing Falco was behind him... but he grinned a bit and chuckled it off, knowing he was ahead in this situation and that his life was totally safe.  He sighed a little at the sensation of knowing that a long-time rival being behind him didn't mean he had to pray for both seconds of the remainder of his life.  The only fighting they had to do was to get to the end first and alive.  It was something they weren't used to at all... and they were loving it so far.
\tThe first stretch of road before the tunnel was a flat and wide road that slowly curved off to the left over several miles, a couple slightly sharper left turns in it before the tunnel opening, so not much of a challenge in the route so far.  They both knew there was little in the way of two different vehicles trying to pass one another in this area. “Part of what irks me about this route is not the fact that it is new this year for the Grand Prix, but the fact that the actual route looks different in certain places than it did on the map,” Falco thought to himself.  “Some of the curves are actual corners you have to plan appropriately by slowing down and taking the turn at the right speed and angle, which is not too big a deal I guess if you were in a car... but the fact we are in space craft that levitate off the ground a few feet, even more preparation has to be made in order to not skid your wingtips into the ground, not to mention stay on a course that was originally built for passenger automobiles... this is really tricky...”
\tSoon they entered the first tunnel, the opening just enough to allow both craft to fly through without collision.  It was certainly no place to overtake with how large Falco and Leon's craft were.  They were thinking the same would be the case for Miyu and Wolf when they took their turn next.  “I must admit... you got my heart racing there for a second, my raptor friend,” Leon thought to himself.  “Seeing you behind me just then brought back memories of the many times you and I were in a dogfight... when being in front was a death sentence.”  Leon's grin slowly widened as he used a little of his boost out of the exit of the first tunnel to pull away from Falco a little more.  “But now, being in front is ADVANTAGEOUS to me, isn't it?  Can you pass me, much less keep up with me?”

\t--The starting line by the Star Fox tent--

\tROB continued to play the footage of the race from the television channel broadcasting it onto a wall of the canvas tent, his internals also displaying health info on Falco as well as status of his craft  off to the side.  It showed at elevated heart beat in Falco, but nothing dangerous or out of the ordinary.  Peppy sat next to ROB's side as he chimed in to Miyu's craft as she and Wolf sat at the starting line, engines running at gentle idle waiting for Falco and Leon to return.  
\t“Miyu, do you copy?” Peppy said into his mic, looking into the camera on his laptop.
\t“I copy, Pepster. Wassup?” Miyu replied calmly.
\t“Not to diss Falco and his abilities at all, but I'm thinking he may be at a disadvantage against Leon,” Peppy began.  “Both craft are fast, but Leon's Rainbow Delta is a bit more agile and faster than Falco's Skyclaw, so I'm thinking Falco is going to be struggling a little to not only keep up, but to have the chance to pass him at all if he does keep up.”
\t“I was thinking the exact same thing,” Miyu said.  
\t“Which if it was true, and it is almost certain to be, Leon's gonna make it back just seconds before Falco does,” Peppy said.
\t“Even so, I can catch up to and pass Wolf easily,” Miyu said with a cherry voice and smile.
\t“Attagirl,” Peppy said cheerfully, yet softly.  “I have no doubt you will be able to pass Wolf somewhere on this course.”
\t“I DID promise him a good view of my ass, and I'm adamant he gets it as he loses,” Miyu said with a giggle.
\t“Hehehe... naughty kitty.  Peppy out,” he said in reply with a chuckle.
\t“Miyu out,” she said, sitting in her Interceptor, eyes focused on the straightaway coming back to the start.
\t“Hey Panther, are you in?” Wolf said into his mic.
\t“Yeah, I'm here,” Panther replied.
\t“I'm thinking Leon should have no problem coming back before Falco, but it may not be by too much of a margin,” Wolf started off.  “So I'm very likely to start off with a small lead ahead of Miyu, but I'm not terribly sure I'll be able to stay ahead of her.”
\t“NOW who's talking pessimism, hmm?” Panther said softly and coyly with a grin.
\tWolf grimaced quietly at Panther's snide comment and continued.  “Anyways, I'm thinking I should be able to stay ahead of her for a lot of the track.  There are only a few areas that she can pass me, so my concentration will be on the few curves where she will have an advantage.  Regardless of what happens, you need to focus on that bunny.”
\t“That will not only be way too easy, but also way too exciting to do,” Panther said in a sinister tone.
\t“Ease up there.  Captain Cuttridge's car is small enough he could very well pass you on almost all of the corners, not to mention in the tunnels themselves, which none of the rest of us can do.  That and your ship is almost as fast as his.  The race is very likely gonna come down to you and him at the very end, so no lollygagging and no playing around,” Wolf directed.
\tPanther sighed off-mic and rolled his eyes. “Roger that, Wolf,” he said as he sat in his X-Wolfen Red Rose behind Wolf's craft and across from Leo's Speedwell.  He looked over at Leo in his car and saw the bunny sitting in the driver's seat holding his paws together with his eyes closed, Leo in a calm meditating pose.  “Hehe...  the calm before the storm, little bunny.  Enjoy your peaceful moments.”
\t
\t--exit of the first tunnel, 75% of the course remaining--

\tFalco and Leon shot out of the tunnel at high speed, avian following lizard as they began to approach the first hard corner of the course, a hard right-hander before a short road that led to a soft left hand curve that lasted for about 5 miles.  Not only was slowing down and focusing on approaching the curves appropriately a great challenge to those in fighter craft, but the soft curves didn't have any raised embankments outside of any tunnels they could utilize to maintain stability on the road.  
\tFalco watched as Leon engaged his flaps and air brakes to lower his speed just before the corner and followed suit, watching the Wolfen craft bank softly to the right and then rocket off down the short straight away to the next turn, Falco carefully mimicking his moves to try and keep up.  When he fell behind, he engaged his boost in short bursts of only a few seconds at a time to limit the usage of the booster fuel reserve he had on board to catch up to Leon.  The tall avian seethed as he felt like he was struggling to maintain his path to keep up with Leon, but he breathed slow and deep to keep his concentration and not make any rash judgments or sudden moves of bravado to try and pass.
\tAs they entered the left-hander to the next section, they continued to gently accelerate using only normal engine propulsion, flying along the road at close to Mach 1 as they tried to stay on the road, their craft flying flawlessly.  The next section was a literal series of curves that resulted in a lengthy U-turn that led to the entrance of the second tunnel, one that had a moderately sharp left-hand turn where interior space was very limited.  Once both craft entered the left-hand turn, Falco decided to test the waters and moved gently forward on his throttle as he edged closer to the inside curve of the road to make an attempt to pass Leon.  He was pleasantly surprised Leon didn't block him or otherwise fight him to maintain the lead and instead pulled ahead into the lead on gentle roads.
\tLeon chuckled as he watched Falco slowly pass him, backing off his throttle by about 10% or so at the most to stay right behind the Arwing.  “Hehehe... eager to let me study YOUR movements?  Fine by me, the party has just begun!” Leon thought to himself, his eyes now focusing on Falco's movements from his angle of tilt from one side to the other, his speed, his actions, his positions on the track, everything.  

\t--The Star Fox Pit--

\tPeppy sighed as he watched the drone cameras following both craft report Falco's passing Leon, listening to the TV show commentators reporting on the race live as they too watched the event take place.
\t“Well this is interesting, look at this, Lombardi is actually slowly passing Powalski on a gentle curve and Powalski is doing nothing!” Drummond said with a bit of excitement in his voice.
\t“Yes Drummond,” Markinson said. “The reason for Leon's calmness is he's getting the chance to observe Lombardi now that he has taken the lead.”
\t“Exactly,” Clay said with a nod. “Lombardi has taken a bit of a risk taking the lead so early on in the race, so this could very well be his undoing.”
\t“We'll know for sure before the end of the last tunnel what happens, not just with these two, but indeed with all pairs of racers,” Markinson added.
\t“Yes, this track is quite interesting,” Drummond agreed. “You really won't know for sure who will cross the finish line first until you see them exit the last tunnel, for it is a long straightaway with a mild left-hand curve the rest of the way.”
\t“Falco kinda screwed himself there, didn't he?” Fara asked as she stood right by Fox's side as they all watched the program unfold live.
\t“Yeah, kinda,” Fox agreed.  “Falco doesn't have the coolest of minds, but he can recover from a lot of sudden events quickly.”
\t“Right, but even in this situation,” Peppy added.  “He doesn't have the free skies or space to move about where he wants like he's used to.  All of us except Leo are handicapped by that factor.  It would not surprise me if Leon passes him really soon, leaving Falco to struggle the rest of the way.”

\t--entry of the second tunnel, 55% of the course remaining--

\tLeon's eyes had never concentrated on Falco's movements so deeply and for so long than since he passed him.  He could see what Wolf was on about when he said that this may happen and that the race would be completely different than anything they ever experienced before.  Leon certainly found it an intriguing challenge now that the tables had turned.  He was impressed by how Falco had chosen really good lines in each of the curves, entering at the outer edge and exiting at the apex, keeping a maximum speed with very little in the way of shaky movements... but he was noticing that Falco's movements from one side of the track weren't as quick as his own, proving Leon having the faster and more responsive craft.  
\tFalco's heart beat faster in a bout of nervousness, both from the fact his past experiences of having Leon behind him would likely result in death, and also the fact that Leon's movements were gentle and smooth the whole way, all while maintaining a close proximity to Falco's rear end.  He kept glancing down at the close-range radar on his dashboard and saw Leon within no less than 12 feet and no more than 25 feet at all times.  He felt he was maintaining a good lead, but still, something felt very amiss about the whole situation.
\tWhen they entered the second tunnel to begin a sharp left curve inside it, Falco noticed Leon wasn't slowing down as much as he was beforehand, the tip of Leon's craft getting much closer to the rear of Falco's craft by almost 3 feet at times.  This made Falco gasp and throttle forward a bit, his movements a bit shaky to keep them from colliding inside the tunnel.  “Dammit... how can he do that???” Falco thought to himself as he struggled a little to maintain a smooth line through the tunnel, seeing the exit soon and rocketing forward to try and escape Leon's grasp, but the lizard continued to cling to his six eagerly.  
\tFalco grimaced at the inability to shake Leon as he entered a soft left curve followed by a sharp right-hander that led to the longest and narrowest tunnel in the whole course, a shift digging through the mountains a good ten miles long that was only good for two-lane traffic.  Once Falco and Leon had gone through the left hand curve to approach the right-hander before the tunnel entrance, Leon focused sharply on Falco's moves to wait for the right time.  
\tFalco moved into the left lanes just before the right-hand curve to enter it and take it on the inside edge, taking an entry-oriented attack on the turn, but before Falco could get all the way across the road, Leon suddenly accelerated and aimed his craft for the right wing of Falco's craft.  Falco's proximity alarm went off at Leon's advance.  He could see Leon was trying to pass Falco on the inside, which made Falco speed up a little and turn sharper into the right lane to cut off Leon.
\tLeon then grinned and backed off his throttle and gently adjusted his steer to the opposite side of the road to now approach Falco's craft from behind on the left side, banking his Rainbow Delta craft to the right and going forward on the throttle to pass Falco on the outside edge.  “WH—WHAT THE?!?!?!” Falco thought as he watched Leon's extremely fast movements as Leon passed Falco on the outside edge of the curve right before the longest tunnel and began to rocket away.
\t“Bye-bye, birdie,” Leon said softly to himself as he shoved his throttle all the way forward into boost, shooting himself away from Falco as they entered the tunnel, Leon focusing on taking the sharpest and most precise line possible to run away from Falco, the action making Falco groan and throttle forward in response to try and catch up.

\t--The Star Fox Pit--

\t“And there we go, as predicted,” Markinson said as the video of the race being fed by the flying drones following Falco and Leon continued. “Lombardi only took the lead for a short time before being passed again.”
\t“True, and with the superior maneuverability of Leon's craft against Falco's Skyclaw, this lead is likely to maintain,” Drummond said, a bit of disgust in his voice.
\t“Looking like the next leg of the race will have Wolf O'Donnell starting off just a few seconds before Lt Miyu Lynx will be,” Clay said.  “I know you're disappointed by that, Drummond.”
\t“I just want to see Lt Lynx and Capt Cuttridge win, they are so amazing!” Drummond replied with excitement.
\t“Well, we'll have to see how the rest of the race turns out,” Markinson finished as the video footage went back full screen to the drone footage following the craft.
\t“I knew that was gonna happen,” Slippy said, rolling his eyes a bit.  “He gets on me for getting into trouble at the very start of the mission, and this is what he does in a race on the ground.”
\tMost of everyone around chuckled at that remark.  “Haha, very true, dude,” Bill said. “Falco isn't known to have the most civility or calmness.”
\t“For as long as I've known him, he has always been a hothead,” Katt said, remembering the times before Falco joined the Cornerian Academy to earn his wings while he was still in motorcycle gangs way back when.
\t“It's just as I suspected would happen, too,” Peppy said.  “But I think Miyu will be able to easily balance this out well for us.  It just depends on how Leo handles Panther on the final round of the race.”

\t--exit of the 3rd tunnel, 25% of the course remaining--

\tFalco watched as Leon expertly ran through the smallest and longest tunnel with great speed and ease, finding it difficult to keep up with him.  The stress of all the mental concentration compiled on top of the physical exhaustion of his hand and foot movements of keeping his craft where he wanted it was taking a toll on the tall avian, making him slow down more than normal at sooner times for longer times as he entered corners and especially navigated through the tunnel without colliding.  It also stressed him to see Leon going through the corners and tight areas with very little effort as he slowly sped away from him.
\tLeon chuckled as he saw Falco's craft slowly falling more and more behind him as he exited the tunnel, flying down the road to a back-to-back left and then right corner before the final tunnel, which was wide open, but very short and had a sharp left turn.  “Don't get me wrong, Falco... I still hold you in high regard... it's just that I am faster in this contest,” Leon thought to himself, guiding his Rainbow Delta Wolfen craft over the road and through the corners, having to airbrake sharply before the right hander before the tunnel.
\tFalco air braked hard at the sharp curve to turn into it and then slammed forward on the throttle as quick as he could, then got onto the boost to try and catch up to Leon, but his heart sank as he looked down the road just before the final tunnel entrance and saw Leon's craft not only so far ahead, but it was about to turn into the tunnel, knowing his chance to finish ahead was nil.  He still did his best to fly at his best performance into the final leg of the course, banking sharply left into the tunnel as he kept as high on the throttle as he possibly could.  His craft shook in all sort of directions inside the tunnel as he did his best to maintain control in the confined space, then shot out at full boost on the exit, doing his best to catch up to Leon as he also was in full boost on the way back to the finish line, a good 3 or 4 seconds ahead of Falco as they went down the final straightaway.
\t
\t--The Star Fox Pit--

\t“Here they come, Miyu,” Peppy said into his mic on his headset.  “Do not proceed until Falco crosses the line.”
\t“Roger that,” Miyu said, her sharp and beautiful deep blue eyes gazing down the road at the returning craft as she throttled her engine on her Interceptor slowly more, the sound of Wolf's Redfang Wolfen fighter also spooling up.
\tWolf then tuned into Star Fox's com channel, looking over at Miyu in her craft.  “Sorry about this, darling, I know you wanted to show off dat ass to me, but doesn't look like that's gonna happen,” he said to Miyu.
\t“Hehe... I don't make promises I don't intend to keep, wuffy boy,” Miyu said, blowing him a kiss and winking at Wolf cutely.
\t“You cutting in on my girl, O'Donnell?” Leo said with a grin and chuckle.  “Thought you liked them older women?”
\t“What the... HEY, I am the SAME AGE as you, Leo!” everyone heard Fara say with a chuckle into the coms, the commentary inciting raucous laughter from everyone.
\t“I didn't say anything, Fara!” Leo replied with a chuckle, more laughter following.
\t“Haha!  It's all in good spirits there, Captain Cuttridge,” Wolf said in his usual suave and cool tone with a toothy smile.
\tWolf grinned as he sat and watched Leon come back, going full throttle when he saw Leon come across the line at great speed.  Wolf's ship took off rapidly as Miyu watched for Falco's ship to return, and about 4 seconds after Wolf's departure, Falco returned.
\tWhen Falco crossed the line, Miyu then gunned it, taking off with all possible speed to chase after Wolf, the second leg of the race beginning while Leo and Panther positioned themselves at the starting line, ready to take off upon Wolf and Miyu's return.
\tFalco and Leon parked their craft beside the Star Fox tent and slowly exited their craft, walking towards each other, smiles on their faces, arms outstretched and shaking hands happily.  “VERY nicely done, Lombardi,” Leon said happily.  
\t“Likewise sir!”  Falco said, the excitement of the race still fresh in his blood.  “I realized soon after I passed you that I... TOTALLY... fucked up.”
\tLeon continued to smile and tilted his head a bit.  “How do you mean?”
\t“I passed you way too early,” Falco began.  “I should have waited until much later in the course to make an attempt to pass and give you a lot less time to study my movements which easily fed you info on my movements.”
\tLeon nodded a few times in agreement.  “You can definitely study a lot by studying your opponent from behind.  Especially in this environment of racing on the ground with only two axis of movement instead of the 3 we are used to, which is a handicap for us all.”
\t“Exactly,” Falco said in agreement, still smiling and happy to talk to Leon.  “It's definitely something we are not used to.  And I hope...”  he began, a bit of happy tears filling his eyes  “...we all get more opportunities to do this in the future.  This is incredibly fun.”
\tLeon then moved toward Falco, wrapped his other arm around the tall avian and embraced him in a comforting hug, tears also filling his eyes in this moment of peaceful bliss.  “I couldn't have said better, brother.”
\tThey held close for a few more moments before they headed back into the tent to relax and watch the race on the monitors.  Fay approached them each with a chilled flavored sports drink which they took happily and guzzled as they rested post race.  Peppy and Fox approached them both and gave them each handshakes.  “Awesome run, both of you guys,” Peppy said.
\t“Absolutely,” Fox continued.  “You both ran a very expert and clean run.  I'm very proud of both of you.”
\t“Thank you very much, Captain,” Falco said with a smile.
\t“Likewise, thank you very much Captain McCloud,” Leon said, smile still on his face.  “I must say, my past experiences with Falco in battle had contributed much to my planning in how to race against him here in this race, but I think that will be the only time that will happen in this race.”
\t“Yeah, Wolf has never been in any dogfight with Miyu to my knowledge and vice versa, so this may prove to be a very interesting battle,” Peppy said in approval.
\t“Likewise, Panther and Leo not only have never battled each other, but they are in two totally different leagues of vehicles altogether,” Fox began.  “It'll be interesting to see how they each handle all this, as this will be far more to Leo's advantage than Panther's.”  ", "pools_count": 0, "title": "Star Fox: Miyu's Love - Ch 29: The Cornerian Grand Prix: A Tag-Team Effort – Leon vs Falco", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "application/msword", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "0", "rating_name": "General", "ratings": [], "submission_type_id": "12", "type_name": "Writing - Document", "guest_block": "f", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "0", "views": "20" }
