Inter-dimensional relaps

Chapter 5: Two in one

After that squabble with Concolor, Link spent a few calm days with his new buds. Until one day his Interdimensional Scale virtually went off the chart somewhere near Death Mountain.
They ran off (Sonic got there first of course, but he went back for his friends) and they saw a portal spit something out.

The thing that fell out appeared to be humanoid, but there was definitely something different. He had a man's body, but had a bushy tail and a doglike head with pointed ears. Link ran up to him and saw that he wasn't unconscious. He was on his feet and looked like someone was after him.

"Hey, buddy. Welcome to Hyrule." Link called.

The creature simply stared at him and commanded, "Get out of here!"

Link was confused and asked, "Hey, what's your problem?"

"Something's come with me. Something bad." The thing answered.

It was obviously a male and had thoughts identical to man.

However, before Link could think it out, he asked, "What?"

Link's answer came when a large portal came up and a giant thing came out. It was over two stories tall, forty feet long, and weighed between five and eight tons. It had two powerful back legs, but its forelimbs were feeble and had only two fingers. Its skull was deep and had heavy jaw muscles. The mouth was packed with sharp teeth, each one the size of a steak knife. Its tail was long and thick and its neck was also thick to support its large skull. It opened its mouth and let out a roar that could be heard all the way in Gerudo fortress.

"OH NO! A redeye!" The thing screamed in fear.

Link backed off slightly. This thing was bigger than any dodongo and probably would have eaten one for breakfast, even King Dodongo. Yet, the thing that came out of the portal didn't cower from it. Instead, he took out a staff and took a combat stance. Link thought this thing was crazy, he was going to fight this dinosaur with a little stick? However, before Link had time to react, the redeye charged.

The dinosaur took off on a run at well in excess of twenty-five miles per hour in an attempt to squash the creature. More amazingly, the foxlike thing got out of the way just before a massive foot stomped on the ground in which, seconds ago, he was standing. Unfortunately, this thing wasn't going for the fox, it was after Link. It lowered its head and tried to snap at Link, but he quickly rolled away and struck it with his sword. The massive dinosaur grunted in surprise with a gash on his nose. It shook its head and went for Link again, but Link got out of the way again. Unfortunately, Mario happened to be behind him.

The thing grabbed Mario in its mouth and swallowed him whole just before Mario said, "Mama Mia!"

For one second, time froze and the Redeye saw Link standing there. He took him for a good prey item as it thundered after him, snarling madly. The redeye’s steps quaked the ground as it opened its mouth to swallow Link whole.

"Here I come!" A cocky voice called.

Link turned and saw something like a blue cannonball collide with the redeye's side. The dinosaur stumbled slightly, but didn't fall. He regained his balance and went for Link again, but the hylian ran to the side and stuck his sword in the redeye's toe. The massive animal growled in pain and stomped the ground a bit in an attempt to get the sword out of its foot. The redeye soon forgot about the pain and went for Link again. Link almost faced a bloody death, but the foxlike person tackled him to the ground in order for the Redeye’s jaws to miss by inches.

“MOVE IT!” The thing ordered as the Redeye made a wide turn to come back on a full assault.

The fox used the stick he was wielding and sprayed some kind of mist at the ground. The ground got covered in a sheet of ice that, when the redeye stepped on it, caused it to slip and lose its balance.

The t-rex landed on its side and Link saw it open and close its mouth in frustration. The idea struck him before he even thought about it. He grabbed a bomb from his sack and tossed it in the Redeye's mouth. The dinosaur swallowed it and let out a final roar of defeat before its stomach exploded. A few seconds later, Link saw Mario come out of the stomach, covered in guts and soot. Link saw that and chuckled slightly.

"Uh, hehehe. Oops." He said nervously.

Then he turned to the fox-thing. Link walked over to him and said, "Thanks. If it wasn't for you, that monster would have eaten me." Link held out his hand and added, "I believe we haven't been properly introduced. I'm Link."

The thing shook his hand and said, "Fox McCloud, leader of Star Fox."

"What's a star fox?" Link asked.

“Oh, brother.” Fox said with a slight groan.

He was about to explain when Link shook his head.

"Talk later. We've got a kitty to track down." he added before Fox could answer.

Fox made a waving gesture with his hand and said, "Yeah. I don't know about you or who you’re after, but this could be the start of a beautiful friendship."
