When they had landed in a clearing in the forest, they watched Shelby drift slowly down. But he overshot the clearing and landed in the trees. "Son of a B****. That’s just my luck. I land in a damn tree." exclaimed Shelby. "You ok?" asked Fox. "Yeah, I’m fine, for now" said Shelby. He then grabbed his knife and started to cut the chords with it. Then the chords snapped and he fell out of the tree hitting almost every branch on the way down. "Ugh, Ah, ouch, damn, urgh." Fox burst into laughter at the sight of this. Shelby was covered in burses and cuts. Fox was still laughing at him. "Oh shut up, you'll have to learn how to do this eventually. By the way, where's yours and Wolf's teams?" asked Shelby. "They're looking for Krystal; I just hope I don’t end up like you when I try that. Come on lets go look for her." "Ok, oh, damn, I think my arm’s broken." Fox looked at it. There was a lump protruding from the arm. "Doesn’t that hurt?" he asked. "What the hell do you think? Urgh, god. Help me up. We’ll go look for your friends." Shelby struggled to get up. They spent about an hour walking to where Krystal had crashed. Shelby had been blown far off course due to a strong headwind.
"So who was that guy you were fighting? He looked almost as good as you are" asked Fox. "That was Erich Krieger, my arch rival. He’s the leader of a special squadron called Nemesis. It’s kind of like my squadron. It has the best pilots in the Luftwaffe. He's supposedly their best pilot, one of the deadliest to. Krieger is also a leading Nazi fanatic. He's Herman Goering's favorite pilot." explained Shelby. "Wait, who's Herman Goering, and what are the Nazis." asked Fox. "The Nazis are a bunch of... god, that’s a hard one to explain. Well, for starters, they're crazy. They believe they are the master race of this planet. Their goal is to rule the world. Right now, it doesn’t look good for them, but with all that new technology they have, we might have a problem. But what do I know, I can’t predict the future. Anyways, the Nazis are led by Adolf Hitler. That guy is one sick Bastard! He's set up concentration camps all over Europe to exterminate the Jews. I bet you don’t know what they are either." "Nope, I don't." said Fox. "We'll, The Jews are another race of people an out planet. Hitler believes that his races, the Arians, are superior to all other races. He hates the Jews beyond all belief, I have no idea why. My country thinks all people are equal. But down in the south where I grew up, people there have a thing about colored folk. I think all people are the same and we shouldn't treat another like animals. Anyways, do know where Krystal went down? Is she ok?" asked Shelby. "Well, I saw her eject. She should be all right" said fox.
They walked into another area of the woods. "My god" gasped Shelby. The trees had been vaporized by the Arwing's cold fusion reactor imploding. There was a thin layer of glass covering the ground. But there was no trace that the Arwing had ever been there. "Come on, this isn't where she is" said Fox. "Jesus Christ, is this what happens when your planes explode! It’s like a miniature nuclear bomb went off!" exclaimed Shelby. "Yeah, all of our aircraft are like that. It isn’t that big of a deal. They’re a lot safer than your aircraft from what I've seen." remarked Fox.
“Damn, my arm really hurts” said Shelby. “Well, let me take a look at it” said Fox. He took Shelby’s arm. “Yep, that’s a break. Here, take this” said Fox. He handed him a first aid kit. Shelby opened it. "That’s it, what kind of first aid kit is this" said Shelby. The only thing it contained was a syringe, some bandages and some kind of flashlight looking thing. "Is that a flashlight? What the hell is it doing in a first aid kit." said Shelby. "It isn’t a flashlight, here; ill show you how to use it."
Fox held the light over Shelby's arm. Suddenly, Shelby's arm began to heal. "Holy S***. It feels good as new. How in the hell did you do that? That’s incredible" exclaimed Shelby. "That’s a Tissue healing accelerator. It works on minor injuries such as broken bones and small cuts. When you crashed on our ship, your wounds were way too severe than what this thing could handle so we used surgical methods. To make it simple, the light accelerates how the body heals itself.”
They walked for another half an hour until they came across an old guy's house. In front, there was a bike. "Hell with this, I’m gonna steal that bike" said Shelby. "Why are you tired" said Fox jokingly. "Well I’m not an animal with lots of energy" joked Shelby. Shelby snuck up to the old man's house and took the bike. He then sped into the forest. Fox quickly caught up to him. "Dear God, I’ve never seen anyone run that fast. Holy crap" exclaimed Shelby. Fox was almost out-running Shelby on his bike. "Hey Fox, let’s take a short-cut through this forest. That'll give me some practice biking off roads" said Shelby. "Ok, I’ll follow you” said Fox.
Shelby veered off the road and went into the trees. There was a small path that someone obviously had carved through the trees. Fox watched as Shelby hopped over tree roots and branches as he sped along. Then he suddenly stopped. Fox looked down and saw a big gorge with a shallow steam at the bottom. "Oh no, your not going to.." Shelby interrupted Fox's sentence. "Oh hell yes I’m gonna" replied Shelby.
Shelby moved farther back and stopped. Then he started pedaling towards the gorge. He screamed down the hill and through the stream. Fox thought, “Wow, is this their idea of fun. It looks dangerous." The stream had a lot of rocks in the bottom. Shelby started bumping up and down as he went over the rocks. This didn’t seem to faze him and he went right through him. But now he was starting to lose momentum and pedaling up the hill started to become difficult. Finally after long effort, Shelby made it out of the gorge and into the forest again. Fox was now running after him.
