Fox McCloud of Star Fox

Kaymen Norgate

Chapter 1 The Final Mission

Open with traditional Crawl like for Star Wars or Star Fox 64. Reads: "Andross had been a loyal scientist to the Corarian army for many years, and a pioneer of teleportation technology. Over time he became more mentally unstable, as he tried to open into other dimensions. From them he claimed that he could engineer the perfect soldier. The Project quickly lost interest in the Cornaia Army and the project was put away never to reopen. Still Andross worked on it. Then a prototype went mad, nearly destroying the lab and killing several others.

General Pepper had enough, and banished this scientist to the baron deserted planet Venom. A year passes, when General Pepper notices strange activity coming from Venom.

A recently formed team of Elite fighters, known as Star Fox was Sent to investigate..."

Pan down the words to Venom. 3 Star Fighters Fly by. Zoom into James's. "Everything seems fine here. Picking anything up on your end Peppy?" Zoom into Peppy's Ship "Nope everything is A-okay, what about you Pigma?" Zoom into Pigmas Ship. "There's nothing out here, perhaps we should go down to the planet". Zoom into James's ship. James "Alright then, stay in formation, something doesn't seem right about this." All 3 ships fly in together.

After getting near the surface shots ring out and all 3 ships smash on the planets surface. See through James's Eyes. Can barely make out several figures holding weapons. Clears out to see that Pigma is holding one of the guns, and Peppy has been bound by his hands and held at gun point

James then says "Pigma, what's going on". Pigman Smirks and says "Andross paid more than your sorry little output could ever imagine" Peppy then says "You will pay for this". Pigman just replies "Oh don't worry Peppy even after paying for this I'll still have a lot left over." " Now get up James Andross wants to see you". A small group try to take bound James, when James start fighting them. He seems to be winning until more troops come and James is over taken. Pigma says "You should save your strength, you're gonna need it" Followed by a sinister laugh.

As the group walks through a Dusty Desert, we see a building get slowly bigger. A metallic door then appears with a keypad on it. One of the troops walks to it and puts in the combination. The door opens. Pigma points his blaster at Peppy and James then points to the door saying "Get in. You're host will be with you shortly" "First it's time for my paycheck" Both James and Peppy walk in when the door shuts quickly behind them.

It is a dark room. Peppy asks "What do you think they're going to do with us?" James shakes his head and says "I don't know, but one things for sure, neither of us are going down without a fight". Peppy "Right, if you can reach into my front jacket pocket, I have a small knife". Jame reaches in for the knife and then hides it in his front pocket. Lights burst on quickly, we see a mysterious figure in a dark hood from behind. He speaks "Ah, that fighting Spirit. It's what I admire most". James Bursts "Andross!" Adndross "I'll take it Pepper has filled you in on my little study". Peppy "What do you plan to do with us?". Andross "My little experiment to make the proper soldier is almost complete. Though they aren't as good of fighters as you". James "What are you saying" raising one eye brow as he says it. Andross "I'm saying that both of you will bring me what I want, to take down that Dog. I've already taken over multiple planets already, it will be only a matter of time before your precious capital falls to me" James "You will never get away with it". Andross "We shall see" Tapping the tips of his finders together.

Another door opens up with 2 armed guards come in. Andorss "Take them to the Lab" Both are hauled away out the very same door. One guard in front Followed by Peppy, James and the Rear guard all in single file. They walk down a small hallway. Wall disappears and turns to glass revealing a stock piles of weapons, space ships, and a training felicity. As they cross, James slowly cuts Peppys Hands free. They are outside the felicity, where James takes down the rear guard and cuts his bounds free. Then Peppy take out the other guard and make a frantic run back to their R-wings.

Both of them get to their R-wings. Peppy "Do you think they can still run?" James "They both look pretty beat but they will run alright"

As they board they find an alarm has been triggered. James "Let's move it". Peppy and James are able leave the planet but are swarmed by many tiny ships in the end they catch up. James then says "Go Peppy, I will hold them off". Peppy "But James..." James "Go, this is the only way". Peppy ship flies away at top speed. James shoots down as many ships as he can. Zoom into Peppy. From his ship we can see James behind him. We see James one last time, when a Giant hand comes out and Grabs him.

Zoom back to Peppy being hit with multiple enemy craft. A near by planet comes up (Rain Forest). Peppy attempts to land there but is shot down. He's not to hit by the shock but notices that enemy craft are landing as well. He then hides behind a near by palm tree with his Pistol in hand. Enemy troops take a look at the wreckage then look else where for Peppy.

When the coast is clear Peppy raises up his sleeve to communicate into a small watch. "R.O.B. Do you read me?" Comes in dim but he hears "Loud and clear". Peppy "Mission to Venom unsuccessful, Pigma lead us into a trap and James has been captured. We must Warn General Pepper of an invasion." "My R-Wing has been destroyed, and am being pursued at Saria. Bring the Great Fox over as soon as you can."

Still waiting behind the tree, gun ready for action Peppy hears fire from Laser cannons. He then run twords the sound. He comes to a clearing with many ships on fire and the Great Fox behind the fire. R.O.B. Responds "Area is cleared Climb aboard" Peppy does so, looking backward to ensure no more troops arrive.

Once in Great Fox Peppy heads for the cockpit with R.O.B. After Peppy sits down in the chair he says "Thank you for your help back there". R.O.B. Responds "No problem". They take off and leave the planet. En route to Cornaria, R.O.B.s eyes turn dark Red. He looks at Peppy and raises his hands. Peppy realizes that R.O.B's has been corrupted and fights back. The computer monitor cracks on, it's Pigma. "Your Robot was so easy to hack into, Andross would never build a robot so vulnerable. I can't have you telling the General about our little surprise now can we? R.O.B. You know what to do." Screen goes off.

Fists go flying, each blow from R.O.B hurts Peppy with a lot of force. After the forth punch a little hatch opens up on the chest of the Robot. Inside is the power supply. Peppy rips out the power supply and R.O.B. Dropps to the center console. Peppy then takes over and flies right to Cornaria. He brings up the general on the communicator. Pepper starts "Peppy, what happened?" Being winded from the battle before Peppy says "Pigma was bought out by Andross, and lead us straight into a trap. James stayed behind to ensure that I could give you this news." Pepper bows down his head and says "I see" Peppy continues "One more thing, he has a massive arms supply and is planning to launch an assault on Cornaria". Pepper "Good heavens, why don't you stay here and rest while we get the fleet ready." Peppy "Thanks General but I have to do something else first". With that Peppy Flies away to a remote region of the planet.

We see a young Fox McCloud (12 years old) looking out the Window. You hear a Woman's voice "Fox, your Father is going on a long mission, he might not be back for a few days". He looks out the window again to see the Great Fox and says "Mom, it's the Great Fox". There is a knock at the door. Jenni McCloud opens the door where we see Peppy, still bruised up for the experience he just went through. She says "Come on in and sit down." Peppy "Thank you Jenni".

He sits down, when Fox comes in. Fox says "What happened Peppy?" Peppy then says "All of you better sit down for this". They all take a seat near him. "I regret to inform you that James" Then looks to Fox"Your Father has been captured by Andross. He sacrificed himself in order to save me." Fox gets up and looks to the Window. Peppy says "He did what he could to save us all. We should honor his last deed with great respect."

Jenni speaks "Did he ever express any final wishes?". Peppy "It was all so fast there was no time. The only thing he mentioned in passing was that he wanted Fox to takes his place when the time came". Fox comes back to his chair still tears in his eyes. Fox says "If that's what he wanted, I will except." Peppy "Before that can happen though we must do a lot of training, and it would be good for you to join the Academy, Like James and I did. Of course that is if it's okay with your mother." Still recovering from the shock. "If it's what James wanted, but when on missions do be careful. I can't stand to lose both of you". Fox "I will Mom, don't you worry".

Peppy "Well, we will start a little training tomorrow. I'm still a little beat up from escaping Venom"

Chapter 2 A master mechanic

Skip to the next day, outside. There the Great Fox is positioned behind Peppy and Fox is sitting in front of him. Peppy speaks. "The main thing to remember is don't let emotions cloud your judgment. If you act on revenge you will only focus on shooting the enemy down, while leaving yourself open to fire. As such be sure to keep a cool head in combat." "Now then, I'm going to pull down one of the R-wings so you can take a closer look at it, maybe even get familiar with it".

As Peppy brings an R-wing out Slippy (same age as Fox) comes by. Slippy "Hey Fox". Fox "Hyah Slip" Slippy "Whatcha doing?" Fox "My Fathers old wing man is teaching me how to be a great fighter just like my Dad was" Slippy "Was?" Fox "On my Fathers last mission, he was captured by Andross. He then sacrificed himself in order to save Peppy here". Slippy "I'm sorry to hear that." R-Wing lands. Slippy "Wow a turbo charged dual laser distributing Retical Wing." Peppy "That's right" Fox "How did you know that?" Slippy "My Dad deals with a lot of mechanics, I've picked up quite a few things from him. In fact I've had to work on a few of these. It's a great ship but not too many pilots have them anymore." Peppy looking astonished "You've Flown before?" Slippy's father walks over. "Oh Yes, not very experienced yet though. He totaled one of these R-wings. However he was able to repair it with very little help from me"

Peppy stares at Slippy for a little bit, then say "Incredible. Perhaps you can help me. I have one R-wing here that has been unable to run for a while now. I took it over to the Cornarian mechanic to find they couldn't fix it. Maybe you'd like to try". Slippys eyes light up, "Bring it over to our garage and we will see what we can do." Peppy "That's great I'll bring it right over". Slippy and His Father then walk away together.

Peppy "You've got quite a friend there Fox. As Slippy said not too many people have these R-Wings anymore so it's quite a skill to be able to fix one. Our Robotic Co-pilot used to be able to repair them, but there was a glitch and now it can't anymore." Fox looks to Peppy and raises an Eyebrow "Sorry I'm rambling, we don't want to keep your friend waiting". Both Fox and Peppy climb aboard a towing vehicle and go on to Slippys garage. On the way Peppy starts "When you are old enough to take over Star Fox, I think it would be a good idea for Slippy to join. He seems very trustworthy, and if his knowledge of mechanics is as good as his Father claims, he can be a great asset.

The Broken R-Wing is brought to the Garage. The heavy metal garage door opens, revealing Slippy and his Father. His Father waves to them saying "Bring it in". Gently they bring it into the garage. Slippy looks at it and says "What did you do with it? Looks like it was eaten and then spit out by a giant creature." Peppy chuckles "Wow he is good, that's exactly what happened". Slippys eyes widen, going "Oh My". His Father standing nearby, pats him on the back saying "Don't worry, I think you can do this, remember the one you totaled, that was in far worse shape than this." Slippy replies a little unsure "okay". His Father "Remember if it gets too bad I'll be in the other garage if you have any questions. Slippy smiles with assurance "Okay, I will do it". Father "That's the spirit" Slippy's Father goes to the next Garage.

Slippy looks at Fox and Peppy, he says "This might take a few hours, if you need to do anything else go on ahead." Peppy "It's alright, we were hoping to pick up a few pointers, weren't we Fox?" Fox stares up at Peppy for a little bit, then realizing what he meant He stammer "Ye..Yes, we are curious to see how this works." Slippy says "Okay? There are some chairs over there. How much do you know about tools?" Peppy "I know them but name if you want me to hand them to you but not much on how to use them".

Slippy lets out a low grunt "Well, just be prepared to hand me tools when I ask for them." A few hours go by with Slippy repairing the R-wing, every so often he will ask Peppy for a few tools. Sometimes even saying what he's fixing. Then Slippy takes an old rag and wipes the grease of his finger. He speaks "Okay I think it's ready to run, Start it up." Peppy gets in and starts it up. Seems to work then there is a spark and stops running.

Slippy says "Wonder what could have gone wrong?" He then looks through the cockpit of the craft. Then says "Ah, here it is. The ignition switch wasn't connecting". He fixes it. Slippy "Try it now". Peppy Hops in and it works just fine. Peppy flies the R-wing in a few circles around the garage then lands in front of it. Peppy jumps out and says "Wow, that is amazing. I wouldn't suppose you know how to work on Robots as well, would you?

Slippy "I think I can do that, what model is it?" Peppy "It's a R.O.B. 50 series, Standard issue". Slippy "A Robot like that should be pretty well built, the only real vulnerability is it can be hacked relatively easily". Peppy's eyes light up "I wish I could have known that sooner". Fox "Wait, a minute, you mean to tell me that R.O.B. Got hacked into?" Peppy nods, Fox "How where you able to make it out of there?" Peppy "Well..." Slippy steps in "I can answer that." Peppy "Go for it". Slippy "Thank you. You see with the R.O.B. Being Standard issue, it can assist piloting, however is not part of the main system like a normal Robot. Is that right ...er, what did you say your name was?" Peppy "Peppy, sorry about that" Slippy "No problem... Peppy". Peppy "You have quite a friend there, he knows a lot more about mechanics than anyone on our little team. Usually we just let the Robot fix our problems but some things just can't be done."

Slippy "Well thank you. As for the Robot where is it?" Peppy "It's inside the "Great Fox" as we call it. It's a little bit of a walk through" Slippy "Alright, let me just tell my Dad I'll be off then." Slippy then goes off to tell his Father. He is in the next garage over. We see the Father at a computer looking over inventory. Father "So, how did that R-Wing go?" Slippy "It went pretty well. I forgot how sensitive the ignition switch was on them, but after that adjustment, it ran like new" Father "Very Good". Slippy "They have another assignment for me" Father "What is it?" Slippy "It's a R.O.B. unit, 50 series Standard issue." His Father looks concerned "I think we better look at this one together. The main reason a unit like that needs fixing is because it was hacked" Slippy "That's what Peppy said" Father raises and eyebrow "Peppy?" Slippy "The guy with Fox?" Father "Oh right. I'll be at the other shop in a moment and we can all go together".

Zoom back to other garage. Peppy and Fox are still sitting in their chairs .Peppy "How are you Holding up Fox" Fox "I kind of envy Slippy. He still has his Father Around." Peppy "Such is fate Fox". Fox "It's funny. He would go on missions all the time with you guys. I rarely ever got the chance to see him between times. Yet I miss him now, more than I ever did before." Peppy "You should know, that when we where on missions, he would talk about you all the time." Fox "Really?" Peppy "Sure. You must understand that he went on most of these missions for you, and for everyone in the Lylat system. He not only wanted a peaceful place for you to live and grow but wanted it for everyone." Fox little teared up now "It's nice to hear this. I knew he was a loving man, but I never really knew he loved the people of this system as much as he loved me". Peppy "That's right Fox. Remember this. If you are to join Star Fox, you will have to know there are others that will do harm to the system. For them you must shoot them down. It might not seem right but if one person being killed can save a system from complete war, that's the way it has to be"

Fox "My Dad would say the same thing, when he would describe his job. He may have never felt good about killing people, but he knew it had to be done in order to save countless others." Slippy and his Father Walk through the Door. Slippy has a big bag of tool around his left shoulder. Father "This next job you got for us sounds like it could be difficult. I figure I'll help out a little on this one." Everyone then goes to the Great Fox. We see them in the control room. The Robot itself is in rough shape, and all around it is signs of ware. Slippy's Father "Boy you must have been in a pretty heated battle with this thing." Peppy "You have no idea". Father "The first thing we have to do is try to save the original memory." Slippy's Father presses a button on the back on it's head, and out pops a small Black Brick. Father "Hold onto this for my Slippy" Slippy "Will do" Father hands the brick to Slippy.

Slippy's Father looks at Peppy. "In case we have to make a new memory, do you have a back up of important functions?" Peppy goes over to the console next to where the Robot is laying. Presses a button and out comes another Black Brick. Peppy "Here it is" Hands the Brick to Slippy. Slippy's Father "I'll take the back ups, do you think you can handle the robot Slippy". Slippy "Sure". Slippy takes a Big Bag off of his shoulder, puts it on the ground. After opening it he gets his needed tools and gets to work.

Some time passes. Slippy puts his tools away, and from his big Bag pulls out a Orange Brick, puts in the back of the Robot and it comes to life. Standing before them he says "I am Rob 50, How may I serve you?" Fox and Peppy stare at surprise, while Slippy gives a self assuring look. He then says "Okay R.O.B. Show diagnostics". The Robot goes to the control panel and shows the diagnostics of the ship. R.O.B. "No Abnormalities detected" Slippy "Very Good". R.O.B. "Will there be anything else?" Slippy "Yes, go to Coordinate 5.3 to receive memory bank" R.O.B. "Confirmed, heading there now".

The Robot leaves. Fox "What are Coordinates 5.3?" Slippy "That is the repair shop where my Dad is doing the backups" Peppy "How come R.O.B can't run on that little orange memory you have in it". Slippy "There are very few instructions that can be assigned to it with this Memory. All the Robot can do is a few simple tasks, and go to a few locations". Fox "Well, Slippy, you have amazed me" Slippy "I do my best"

Chapter 3 The First Mission

On screen in white text "6 Years later". We see Slippy, and Fox in R-Wings over Cornaria. Peppy is watching for the Great Fox. He talks to them "Alright boys lets see how that academy training worked out. I have mapped a route out for both of you to practice. Uploading the maps now". Zoom into Fox's Ship. Bar fully loads and map appears. Zoom into Slippy's Ship. Bar fully loads and map appears. Both of them go flying off in different directions, each maneuvering around asteroids and avoiding obstacles. Zoom into Peppy in Great Fox "Don't be afraid to use your lasers at those asteroids, we just had them juiced up". Now some asteroids are being shot that get too close.

After their course Peppy comes on again. "Very Good, head back to the Great Fox but don't dock just yet" Slippy says to Fox "Wonder what he's doing". Fox "Who know, but it's probably important". Both make it back to the Great Fox to Find another R-Wing. Peppy "Ah it's been too long. Think you guys can keep up with me?" Slippy "Bring it on" Fox "Sure I could use a challenge" Peppy goes at top speed around Cornaria with Slippy and Fox close behind. Fox "How are you going so fast?". Peppy "You haven't learned all my secrets yet" The group get's close to Great Fox. Peppy says "Alright, that's enough for now, back to the Great Fox everyone"

Each ship docks inside Great Fox. Everyone of them is in the control room. Peppy starts "Good job out there Fox and Slippy. The General has given us an assignment. You think you're ready for it?" Fox "Yeah, lets do it". Slippy "Sure". Peppy "Alright, here it is" Peppy pushes a button on the center console. A hologram of General Pepper appears.

"Star Fox, I hear that your team has become competent behind an R-wing. Everything should be ready for your mission, if you choose to accept it. We are hunting down the leader of a dangerous gang know as "The Black Falcons". His name is Falco Lambardi." a Hologram of his face appears and circle. "He is extremely skilled with his Space ship of Choice a Black ZTC 780" a hologram of the ship appears. "This ship is heavily armored but cannot match the speed of an R-Wing" Pepper Hologram "Be Warned though, while in the air you may have the advantage. On the ground though, he is skilled with an arsenal of weapons and usually has a few thugs for back up. He must be brought in alive. He has many contact which maybe useful in taking down other gangs. Are you up to the challenge Star Fox?" Fox looks to Slippy, he gives Fox a nod. Fox looks to Peppy, he give Fox a Nod. Fox says "We are ready General" General "Good. He has been last spotted at the Geniva outpost. While there hasn't been much activity, proceed with caution." Fox "Will do General, let's move out."

Great Fox jumps to light speed and heads to Geniva. Fox "Alright here is the plan. I'll sneak in on foot and see what the situation is. You two will stay behind in R-wings in case I need back up. I'll signal you if there is any trouble." Fox looks to Peppy "Sound good?" Peppy give a nod of approval. "Alright Boy let's get him"

Zoom outside of Great Fox. 3 ships pull out, 2 go one direction, the other goes the opposite direction. Zoom into Foxes Ship. Fox "Status Report". Peppy "This is Peppy, I'm almost in position. How about you Slip?" Slippy "I'm right behind you Peppy, everything seems normal". Fox "Good. R.O.B. Can you pin point their hide out?" Zoom into great Fox with R.O.B. 64 at the Controls. R.O.B. "Detecting Genetic Signature..." "Sending Location now"

Fox lands on the planet. The hatch opens. Fox Grabs his Pistol from the ship and walks onward. He walks stealthy twords the old base. Fox find a wall for cover and lifts wrist. "I have made it to the old base, there is no security yet. Standby" Peppy (crackled) "Will do Fox". Fox walks inside. Then there is a mummer. Fox says "Ah", then walks twords it. The sound gets louder and louder. He comes to an old shack, with a spray painted crude gun on the door.

We hear the voices "Alright I've got everything your looking for. We got Blasters, Rifle, Heavy Artillery, Anti-Air Craft, What ill it be?" Fox opens the door slowly "I'm looking for a Venom Rifle with Electromagnetic Scope". Fox Shuts the door quietly. "I've got what you want right here, it ill only be 300 coronaries. "I got it right here" Fox walks down a small hallway to find a great room. In it is a pile of assorted weapons. In front of it is Falco, wearing a white Sleeveless T-shirt (Wife Beater) and smoking a cigarette. Fox steps back a little and lifts his wrist. Whispers "I've found him sending location now" then presses a button.

Falco takes a puff of the cigarette. "Another satisfied customer, who's next?" A chameleon walks out with a red Sniper Rifle and bumps into Fox. The Chameleon lets out a small growl. Fox then walks into the room. A Gecko creatures says "I'm looking for an model T47 missile launcher" Falco "Ah, a man of Taste, they outlawed these about 3 years ago. It's gonna cost 1000 coronaries." The Geco is angry and says "Alright fine", reaches into his Pocket and give him the money. Fox sneaks behind the pile and pulls out a small sphere

Falco takes another puff. "Alright who's next, I haven't got all day. Fox goes up and says "Yes, I'll take all of it". The whole room fills with Laughter. Falco laughs last "What are you made of money" Fox says "No but I have a feeling this might change your mind. He pulls out the small sphere and flips a switch. Everyone inside screams and runs away. Falco Stares in surprise. His mouth opens wide dropping his cigarette. "Take it easy kid, you know the blast radius of that thing?" Fox "Yeah, about enough to take away your entire operation" Falco pulls out an automatic rifle from the pile behind him and says "You won't be able to press that switch after a few rounds of this thing." Fox "And Neither will you" Faclo stares at Fox Quizzically.

Fox Rolls away quickly with a few shots ringing out from Falco and throws the sphere. Falco drops the gun and runs. Fox pursues, putting his wrist up again. "He's making a run for it, Peppy, stick to the skies, Slippy come down to the ground" Both make it through the door before the whole place explodes. Both are knocked to the ground from the force. A few feet away is Falco's Black ZTC 780. Slippy shoots at the ship, destroying it. Faclo looks at Fox and a fist fight ensues.

Falco throws the first punch but Fox dodges. Then Fox throws a punch to the side, hitting Falco. Faclo throws another punch but Fox grabs it. Then he takes Falco's arm and throws him to the ground. See From Falco's eyes Fox "From what they told me I thought you'd put up more of a fight" Back to normal view. Falco looks at hims "Don't worry kid, I will." He then tries to kick him In the legs to trip him. Instead we hear a metallic sounds and Falco cries a painful "Ow". Fox lifts up his pant leg you show it all metal. Falco is holding the foot he kicked Fox with. Through labored breathing Falco says "Alright, who do you work for. Those look like standard issue Legs from the Cornarian Army" Fox shrugs and says "You got me." Then Slippy Land the ship and walks to Fox "Just like I've got you".

Falco, "How did you ever get your hands on such a powerful grenade?" Fox "Ha, got it from a recently decommission arms dealer". Falco smashes his hand to the ground "Damn it". Fox "Alright Slippy, let's take him in. I don't think he'll give us anymore trouble"

Jump ahead to Cornaria. The General is meeting with the team. "Great Work Star Fox. You've done your old man proud". Fox "Thank you General" General "Thanks to you we have shut down a major arms deal, and have captured the leader of one of the most feared gangs in the galaxy. He knows a lot of people, and with enough time, he will tell us where each and everyone of them are. I will have another mission for you soon. In the meantime, why don't you tell your family all about your great achievement". Fox "Will Do General". General "Great, I will give you your next assignment in 3 days"

Slippy Fox and Peppy slowly walk out. Each going to the great Fox. Slippy "That was a great mission we Ran, hey Peppy?" Peppy "Indeed, how about you Fox, what do you think." Fox seems lost in though "Uh, wha.. Oh yeah the mission was great" Slippy "What's wrong Fox, you seem somewhere else" Fox "It's nothing". Peppy "Well if you're sure." Each then board the Great Fox. Peppy "If your interesting we can all get together at my place for our little break". Slippy "Yeah, that sounds like fun". Fox "Yeah, that would be nice. I'll meet you there, I've got something to take care of first" Slippy "Alright but don't be too long, it wouldn't be the same without you." Fox lets out a smirk "Thank you guys" Peppy "No problem"

Chapter 4 Regret

Fox takes an R-wing and head back to his Mother. It's rainy when Fox pulls up to the house. He knocks on the door. A moment passes and Jenni answers. Jenni with a small tear in her eye. "Fox" She Hugs him. "Won't you come in" Fox walks in and takes a seat. Fox looks up "So we where assigned our first mission today". Jenni "How did it go". Fox Lightens up a little "Oh it went great. Pepper said I did my Dad proud" Jenni "I see. Your worried your going to end up like James, don't you?" Fox "He was an Ace Pilot, much like me. Sounds like the same story." Jenni "The main difference you have is that your team is made up of people you can trust. Pigma could be easily bought. I don't see that happening to Slippy or Peppy. Do you?" Fox with a little smile coming across his face "No I guess not." Jenni "You guess? I can vouch that Peppy will never take a Bribe from all the years I've known him and Slippy there, you think he would ever turn?" Fox "No" Jenni "Good."

There is a brief pause "So what was this mission you went on?" Fox "We took down the leader a dangerous gang know as the 'Black Falcons'" Jenni "I think I heard of them. They where lead by Falco... Uh Lamb?" Fox "Lombardi, Falco Lombardi" Jenni "Ah Yes. How did you do him?" Fox "He was selling some Illegal Arms. One of which was a powerful Grenade. I was able to scare everyone out of the selling area leaving me with Falco himself. With a little help from Slippy we got him" Jenni "Sounds like you did a good job". Fox "Thanks" Jenni "Will you be staying long" Fox "Just passing through. Told the guys I would meet up with them Shortly. It's been nice talking to you." Jenni "You too Fox"

Fox leaves through the door and heads to Peppy's place. The Rain has let up. Fox puts his R-wing inside great Fox then goes to the door. He knocks 3 times. Then Peppy comes to the Door. Peppy "I was wondering when you where going to show up. Everything okay". Fox Smiles "Everything is just fine." Peppy "Good to hear it. Slippy's in the Living Room. You up for another game of Interstellar Hound?" Fox "Sure". They Both Walk into the living room. Slippy "Ah, there you are Fox. Are you ready" Fox "Bring it on" (What we see is Gameplay of Star Fox 64. Each person playing there respective character). Fox wins. Slippy "Great Job Fox" Peppy "For sure. Oh wait something just slipped my mind, there was a phone call for you".

Fox "Any idea who it was?" Peppy "Can't say, all they left was this number" Peppy hand Fox a small scrap of Paper with the number on it. Fox looks at it a little. Fox "Well I'll call and see what's up, mind if I use your phone?" Peppy "Not at all". Fox "Good. You two can keep playing" He has the piece of paper between his fingers and points to them "See if you can beat me when I come back" Slippy and Peppy Laugh. Slippy "We will sure try"

Fox then goes to the phone. He calls the number. You hear a crackled voice "Hello". Fox answers a little shocked "This is Fox McCloud". We go to the other end of the line. We see a figure from the back smoking a Cigarette. "Ah good I was hoping you would get the message." Fox "What do you want?" Person "I speak for my leader Falco Lambardi. He has a proposal for you" Fox "What is it?" Person "He's heard a lot of your outfit, and found selling contraband a bore. He wants to join your team" Fox "Yeah, right. How do I know he's not just saying that so he can get even with the man who beat him". Person "Ask him yourself you know where to find him". The line goes dead.

Fox walks into the living room. Peppy and Slippy look up. Slippy "Well who was it." Fox "An associate of Falco Lombardi" Peppy "Don't tell me he escaped" Fox "No, crazier than that he want to join Star Fox". Slippy looks up "Really?" Peppy "Well he certainly seems qualified. He knows a lot about the weapons we use, and even what the enemy uses. Plus he's a great pilot, though I highly doubt he's even seen an R-wing." Fox "You may have a point. All the same the associate said he wanted a meeting. I'll give him that much." Slippy "I don't know, who's to say if he joins it's not for the same reason Pigma did." Peppy looks crossly at Slippy and Fox looks at him with anger as well. Fox "We will have to wait and see. I'm going to bed". When Fox leaves the Room Peppy says "You shouldn't have brought that up". Slippy "What, Falco is just as bad probably." Peppy "Let's at least give him a chance. If he has turned he would have great insight for many battles we may face."

Chapter 5 The Meeting

The next day we see Peppy's house from the outside. We see the front Door with Fox in front of Peppy and Slippy. Fox is putting on a jacket before leaving. Peppy speaks "Are you sure you don't want either Slippy or I to go too?" Fox "I'm sure. He's probably expecting just me and that's what I'll give him."

Now we see the prison from the outside. We zoom to a waiting area. Falco is in an orange jump suit sitting at a solitary picnic table. One guard (dog) is placed by the table to make sure there is no trouble. The bars open to reveal Fox walking in. The Bars Shut. Fox takes a seat across from Falco. Falco "It's good to see my last phone call was able to reach" Fox "Last Phone call". Falco "Yeah, They give you one phone call before you are sent away. Trying to contact the Fox that could take me down was the right choice I think?" Fox "Why do you want to join Star Fox?" Falco "Look kid, I had no parent growing up. Life for me has been a constant fight. I had to know all about weapons and spacecraft in order to survive. My expertise is probably better than what you learned in your fancy academy." Fox "Yeah" smirk "You think your better than our academy" Falco "You think you're the first one to try to take me down. There have been several others before you I had to outwit and out maneuver. Let see... You are..." He looks up to count "I'd say the 10th one". Fox looking surprised "You've escaped that many?" Falco "Well, yeah. What would I have to gain from lying to you?" Fox "Not much but look" Fox stands and looks directly at Falco. "Even if you where to join who's to say you wouldn't shoot me down while I'm looking the other way?" Faclo "Kid, that can never happen. I would be sent back to this place forever, and besides I respect you too much to do that?" Fox "Oh yeah" Fox puts both of his fingers up and quotes "'Respect'" Faclo "Look I'm serious. No one, not even anyone in my gang was ever able to defeat me. That's something I've never seen before." Fox then sits back down and says "Not only that but I out witted you." Falco "Let's not get carried away. If everyone wasn't so scared of that stunt you pulled I might have been able to get away". Fox rolls his eyes as he says "Sure" Faclo "I'm serious". Fox "Let me get some time to talk to my Colleagues about this. I will say though if you do join the team, we will be keeping a very close eye on you." Falco "I wouldn't have it any other way." Fox "I've give you an answer by tomorrow." Faclo "Does it look like I'm going anywhere" He lifts his hand to reveal his handcuffs.

Fox heads back to Peppy's house. Slippy "So what do you think?" Fox "I think he can be a great asset" Peppy "So do I Fox" Slippy "Really? That Hoodlum in our group. How can we trust him?" Fox "He says he has great respect for the Fox that took him down." Fox lets out a little smile. "Apparently we weren't the first to take on this assignment." Slippy "You mean he has outrun multiple people of the academy?" Fox "Indeed" Slippy "I don't know, I still don't like it. If you are going to go through with it though let me at least put in a fail safe". Peppy "What kind of Fail Safe?" Slippy "I am well aware of the controls of the R-wing. With a few simple tweaks, I can say Stop his blasters from firing". Fox "I know you don't trust him Slippy, but blocking his ability to shoot could be more deadly than he can." Slippy says shyly "It was just a thought" Fox "We still have a few days before our next assignment during that time I will talk with the General and see what we can do." Peppy "I better go with you Fox. The General trusts Falco less than Slippy does"

Skip to Next day, We see Peppy and Fox with console with the General. General "So let me get this straight, you want to release an extremely dangerous Felon into your custody, to help aid in the missions I assign to you?" Peppy "Yes" Fox "That is correct General". General lets out a sigh. "Well it's your organization you can do what you want with it. I just want you to know I'm concerned that Falco could be the next Pigma" Fox "That won't happen"

Zoom back to the Prison. We see Falco being escorted by an armed guard. We See from behind Foxes head. Fox puts his hand up and waves. Falco "Looks like that was the best phone call I ever made". Falco and the guard get close to Fox and Peppy. Fox "Indeed. Be warned though, while you may be free from prison you aren't a part of Star Fox just yet." Falco "You have some sort of initiation or somethin'". Fox "Nah, we just want to see your skills, you ready for the test. Falco "Foxy Boy, I have gone through worst tests than the one you are about to give me, bring it on." Peppy "That's what I like to hear, lets get started."

We see Great Fox and one R-wing out over Cornaria. We see inside Falco's ship Peppy Appears on the monitor. Peppy "I have set up a little test course to see what your skills are at. You may begin when ready." Falco "Bring it on Gramps" Peppy "Very well" Faclo flies through the course. Blowing up asteroids that are in the way. We see Fox, Slippy and Peppy inside of Great Fox. Peppy "I haven't seen anything like that." Slippy "No wonder we was able to avoid arrest for so long." Fox "Looks like he will be able to be a good front man."

The training course appears to be complete. Falco "Right, I think that's the course. How did I do?". Peppy "Return to the ship and I will tell you what you got" Falco pulls into great Fox. He walks into control room. Fox walks to Falco "You have done better than any other Pilot I have ever seen. Welcome to Star Fox." Fox stretches out his hand for a Hand shake. Falco reaches and shaking Fox's hand. Faclo "Glad to be aboard" Slippy is still uneasy. Falco turns to him. Falco "What did you think of my little show out there." Slippy "I'll admit you're pretty good. Trust will come with time though". Peppy "Don't mind Slip too much, he's pretty suborn. Anyway if we are ready, I think the General has another mission for us."

A hologram of the General appears. General "Alright Star Fox here is your next mission." He looks forward a little "Must he be here, I may be classifying some sensitive information." Fox Steps Forward "He is part of the team now, he stays". General "Alright. Our Mining operation on Katina has been taken over by an unknown group. The only thing we know about them is they are made up of Monkey's and all bear a Crest of an 'A'". Falco "Doesn't sound like any group I know of, must be a new breed." General "That's what we thought. The mining operations on this planet are essential for sustaining our military, we must have it back. Can we count on you Star Fox?" Fox"You can count on us"

We see Greeat Fox over Katina. Great Fox is hovering over the planet. Fox "First we need to know how many we will be up against. R.O.B. Can you do a scan." R.O.B. "Scan in progress." A minute passes. R.O.B. "There are about 30 of them down there. Each seem to be armed with this weapon." A Halogram of the weapon comes up and spins. Falco "It looks like a customized T-153 Laser Rifle. I can tell from the design. We will have to go carefully, these are powerful, long range weapons." Fox "I see. Here is what we do. Falco and I will head down to the surface. Slippy and Peppy, you will give us cover from the Air. R.O.B. What do we have for long range offensive weapons?" A Door opens up R.O.B. "This is our selection all charged up and ready to go" Falco "Pretty impressive collection Fox." Falco takes a look through the armory. He looks through each weapon discerningly. He then picks out 2 Rifles. Hands one to Fox and take the other himself. Falco "These will be our best defense against them. I'm noticing there is no silencer though. One shot from any of these and everyone will know we are there." Fox "That's what our Air support is for." Falco "Good idea Fox, but the weapons they have can easily blow a hole through them." Slippy steps forward "Not anymore. You see I have installed a shield that can deflect there shots. Only problem is the shield will last for 30 minutes before it starts eating the battery of the ship." Fox "Exactly. That means if we are going to retake this mining Felicity we will only have a maximum of 30 minutes." Falco. "Well then, lets do this."

On the planets surface. Fox and Falco Stand on a cliff looking down to the Mine. Fox pulls down a pair of Binoculars. "Well they are there alright. All of them very well armed. However take a look over there. Fox points and hands Falco the Binoculars. We see through the Binoculars. "It's a fuel tank. That can take out a few of them." Fox "That's right, and we will have to pick out the others. We will however need to make sure at least one survives." Falco "What for?" Fox "It's like what you said, this is a new gang, one of which we don't know of. We better try to get some information from them." Falco "With my experience with Monkeys, they don't let out secrets like that, but we can still try" Fox "Good. Wait over on that ridge" (Fox points to it) "I'll go for the fuel tank. Once it goes off, pick of as many as you can. Also take this." Fox hands Falco a Bullet. Falco looks at it. Falco "Tranquilizer Dart". Fox "Exactly, I trust your ability to shoot, select the one that will live, and take down the rest." Falco nods "Got it." Then runs over to his spot.

Fox lifts up his wrist. "Peppy do you read me" Peppy comes in crackled "Loud and Clear" Fox "We have spotted a Fuel tank. When it goes up we will be attacking. If any get too close to us give us backup. I have given a Tranquilizer dart to Falco. It will transmit a small signal as to which one he has shot. This one must remain alive." Peppy "Got it, I'll relay the message to Slippy." Fox "Over and out"

Fox get down the the ground with his Sniper ready. He sees Falco is in position. One shot and the tank goes up in Flames. That took down 10 Monkeys. We Zoom into Peppy and Slippy's ship, where they turned on the shield. Go to Falco. We see him lying on the ground with laser flying by. He lifts up his wrist "I'm loading the tranquilizer now". As he loads he sees someone has sneaked behind Fox. He turns quickly saying "Watch out Fox" Fox looks up and sees the Monkey. Before Fox can react, he sees the dart get wedged in the monkey's neck. Fox "I owe you one". The fierce firefight continues until everyone is dispatched.

Smoke and bodies lay everywhere. Fox Stands up and lifts his wrist. "Mission Accomplished, Head back to the Great Fox, I'll meet you there". Falco gets up too and walks to Fox. Fox "Thanks for the save back there" Falco "No problem" Fox "Well, let's see if we can get this guy back to the ship." They both proceed to carrying the monkey away.

We see from the Monkey's perspective. It's Blurry and we barely make out 2 figures. We hear in the distance "I think he's coming too". Falco comes into view. "Now I'm going to ask this nicely, who are you working for?" Monkey "I'm not telling you" Falco "You realize that you are the only survivor of your little group right? Would you like to join them?" Monkey "I was told to say nothing if captured. You will have to kill me". Falco turns to Fox "Doesn't seem to be working". Fox "Eh Forget it, this guy probably doesn't know anything anyways. Probably just the guy that loaded the weapons before the raid. Lets get out of here." Fox and Falco begin to walk away. Monkey "You underestimate me Fox. I was the one who drew up the plans for the raid." Fox "Yeah, right that's probably what they told you to say if you where captured". Monkey "You don't believe me, check my right boot". Falco takes off the boot to reveal a small piece of paper. Falco looks at it. Falco "Certainly looks like battle plans to me." Fox "Alright so you have battle plans, How do we even know you met with your leader to go over this plan." Monkey "Look at the back" Falco flips it over It's signed "Andross". Falco "Andross? You're going to have to do better than that, the wacko died years ago". Monkey "That's what you think. Over the years he has built a powerful army. Trained and constructed countless soldiers." Fox "How do you mean constructed?" Monkey "He is an evil genius, and has found a way to make the perfect soldier when there aren't enough real ones."

Fox "This is bad, we have to inform the General immediately." Both leave the room leaving the Monkey Behind. Fox and Falco make it to the main control deck. Peppy and Slippy are already there. Fox "We have to warn the general, this new gang was a test of Andross's forces." Fox goes to the main computer. R.O.B. Comes Forward. R.O.B. "Message From General Pepper, Priority one." Fox Flips the switch on the main computer. A Hologram of Pepper appears. Pepper "We need your help Star Fox, Andross has declared War. He's invaded the Lylat system and is trying to take over Cornaria. Our Army alone can't do the job, Hurry Star Fox" Fox "We need to head to Cornaria Right away everyone to your ships. R.O.B. Keep Great Fox Nearby in case we need cover." R.O.B. "Affimative" Fox "Let's move out"

Chapter 6 Assault on Cornaria

Everyone runs down a big Hallway to their R-wings. Each hop in. Fox Goes out First, followed by Falco, Peppy and Slippy. Zoom into Fox's Ship. The General appears on a monitor. "We can take care of the enemy on the ground here. However our Air support is off doing battle on other planets." Fox "Got it". All 4 ships enter into Cornaria. The Group remains in the sky in order to avoid detection. Fox "Open the Wings." All 4 ships spread apart their Wings in sync. Fox "Check you G-defuser system". Zoom into Falco's ship. Falco "Falco here, I'm fine." Zoom to Peppy on the outside. Peppy "This is Peppy, all systems go". Zoom inside Slippy's ship. He's closely looking at the read out. Slippy "Slippy here, I'm okay". Zoom to Fox's Ship. Fox "I see them up ahead, lets Rock and Roll" The 3 ships behind fox break formation and head to Cornaria.

There is little resistance. Then the group gets to the shattered remains of the city. Fox "We are entering Cornaria City now". Falco "This is Horrible." Several Robots are taken out before they can topple over buildings. Some throw shrapnel at the group. Each barely dodging. Falco sees a group of enemy ships. Falco "I'll get these ones, get the ones behind me." No sooner does he say that several enemies swarm him. Fox is able to take them all out.

Zoom into Foxes ship. We see him looking at a Radar with a red dot of their destination. Falco starts flying the other way saying "Follow me Fox." Fox "Falco, where are you going?" Falco "I found the Target, try to keep up". Fox then Follows Falco to what appears to be an ocean. Zoom into Fox's ship. We see a transmission. It speaks "Ah, someone wants to play". Zoom out of the ship. Peppy "In coming enemy from the Rear, drop Altitude." The ship comes more into Fox's View. Slippy "Enemy Shield Analyzed". The Transmission Speaks again "Deploy all units, Charge". Slippy "There are the main hatches to Destroy. Once they are shot, the ships shields will be disabled." Fox "Slippy, get the small Hatch. Peppy, get the upper left hatch and Falco take the lower left hatch. I will take on the main ship when the shield is down, and help draw his fire. Go".

Each ship takes on their assigned task. Slippy "Hatch 1 Down". The first hatch falls to the Sea. Peppy "Second Hatch down". This hatch falls too. Falco "Final Hatch down, take him Down Fox" The Last Hatch falls to the Sea. As a last ditch effort the Ships Starts firing everything at Fox and the others. Fox is able to dodge and shoot the ship. The firing Stops and the voice comes on again. "Who are you guys?" Fox "We're Star Fox". The voice comes on one last time before Crashing into the sea "You will never defeat Andross". Once the Ship is under Water there is a violent explosion set behind the team flying off to Great Fox.

Fox "We are heading out, all Aircraft report". Slippy "You did it, I was worried for a Moment. Peppy "You're becoming more like your Father." Falco "I'm fine, you okay over there Fox?" Fox "Everything is just fine". All 4 ships warp off to Great Fox.

We see All four ships are docked. Slippy is looking over each one of them. Fox "How do they look Slip?" Slippy "From what I can see, we took a few hits but everything looks perfectly functional. I'll have to wait for an analysis from the central computer to make sure though" Fox "Good. We will receive a message from the General Shortly"

All 4 meet up in the Control Room. A Hologram of the General appears "Great Work out there team, but we have a long way to go. There are many more planets that need to be liberated as well. Our Next place will be the Asteroid Field." Falco "Why the Asteroid Field?" General "2 Reasons, one it's the fastest way to Fortuna. Liberating that base will be a great help to our forces. Also intelligence tells us Andross is intending on making a base here. If we Destroy his Rock crusher, he will be unsuccessful." Fox "We are heading there now" General Hologram Disappears. Fox "Alright boys, be sure to keep your wits about you in the Asteroid field. Just because our lasers can easily destroy them doesn't make them dangerous." We See Great Fox shooting Asteroids getting in the way. Then we see the 4 ships in front of it.

They Fly Forward for a little bit, dodging asteroids along the way. Peppy "It's quite, too Quite." We Zoom into Peppy's Radar, nothing appears. Then several Red Dots appears. Peppy "Be careful it's a trap". The group starts shooting down a barrage of enemies. Along the way they are dodging asteroids and run into turrets disguised asteroids. Each try there best to get through the laser attacks. Fox "Slippy do you see the Rock Crusher?" Slippy "It's straight ahead." The Firing stops and Fortuna is in view.

A Big ship comes in. "I cannot allow you to go any further" Slippy "Alright team, there are 4 weak points on the back. Watch out though they are protected by a shield. If this shield is shot too many times it will fire back." Fox "Go wherever you see an opening. I'll draw their fire." The weak point are shot and the shield goes flying. Voice "I underestimated you" Falco "Watch out the shield is detached" Slippy "Okay now the main rear gun is exposed. After enough shots the gun will need to recharge. There the power supply will be vulnerable." Fox "Got it, watch my back" The main gun goes down. Voice "I'm not match for you." The ship faces the front. "I admit defeat" Falco "Hey Fox, you gonna listen to that Money" The ship lets out a few shots Voice "Ha, your not as stupid as you look". Slippy "Same principle here. When the weapon recharges go for the power supply." The Guns are disabled. Slippy "Aim for the Command center at the top, that will destroy the entire ship." A few shots ring out. Voice "I can't believe I lost to this scum." Fox "Sorry to Jet, but I'm in a hurry." Then the whole ship explodes.

We see all 4 R-wings from above looking down. Fox "All aircraft report". Slippy "I'm fine, I'm fine". Peppy "I've taken a few hits but I'm okay". Falco "You worry about your own hide" All four ships head out to Fortuna followed by great Fox.

Chapter 7 A Great Victory

Zoom into Fox's ship. We see the general on screen. General "We must recover this base from the enemy army." Zoom to Falco's ship "Most of the forces on this planet have moved on to take over Katina." Zoom into Peppy's Ship "This will be your best change to take it back". Fox "Will do General, over and out".

Fox "We will need two teams, one in the air and one on the ground. Falco and Slippy will be on the ground, Peppy and I will take the air". Zoom into Slippy's ship. You see Slippy roll his eyes. Slippy "Alright" Zoom into Falco's ship. Falco give a smirk and says "Okay Fox" Fox "Alright team lets move out"

We zoom to Fortuna (Ice planet. It's sunny). We see two ships land on the surface. They experience some fire but have backup from Peppy and Fox. The hatches open. Falco is carrying a laser machine gun and Slippy a modified Standard pistol. Slippy pulls out a black brick. On it is Fox's face. Fox comes in faint and static. Fox "Inside the base there are bound to be many enemy troops. See if you can prevent them from getting Air Born. Then we will assist you with dispatching them." Slippy "Got it". Falco "You can count on us".

Slippy put the Brick away in his pocket. Falco goes on ahead while he does this. Hear Falco from a distance "Hey Slippy I think I found a way in." We see a big door with a keypad next to it. Slippy "So you have". He looks closely at the keypad. Slippy "I was afraid of this". Falco "What is it?" Slippy "When the enemy moved in they changed the lock system. This will take longer to crack". Falco "I see. I'll provide back up, but try not to take too long, it's freezing out here." Slippy "How do you think I feel, I'm cold Blooded". Slippy Pulls out a Red Brick and plugs 2 wires into the keypad. Falco stands guard. Some time passes. Slippy "There I think I got it." The Door opens. Then an Alarm quickly sounds. Many ships start flying out of the base. Falco "Oh come on Slip!" Slippy "Don't blame me this Alarm wasn't..." Falco "Eh Whatever we better get to the ships and help Fox and Peppy". Both get Air born.

Fox "What happened?". Falco "We tried to get in but Slippy let out the Alarm". Slippy "This isn't the Alarm for intrusion, there appears to be a Bomb in there". Falco "A Bomb?" Fox "How much force dose it have Slip". Slippy "Enough to take out the entire base" Fox "Slippy you better get their quickly, you are the only one that can probably defuse it"

Four ships Fly in from the Sky. "Can't let you do that Star Fox." "Andross has ordered us to take you down." "Peppy Long time not see." "Those who defy my uncle will be turned to dust" Fox "Just what I need to see, Star Wolf. Slippy, get down on the surface, we will handle these guys. Inside there are probably auto defenses, that will also help out a lot."

Slippy get's down to the base. Walks through the door he just opened. It is Dark, he flips a switch on his gun which turns on a bright flashlight. A few enemies come around the corner. Slippy is able to take them out easily with his Pistol. We then see small Radar mounted to Slippy's Gun. On it is a Red Dot. Slippy walks closer to the red dot, taking out enemies along the way.

Outside the base we see Pigma Following Peppy. Fox come in. Fox "You should pay for betraying your friends back on Venom" Pigma "It's nice to see you still remember me. Thought you would have forgotten since you where so young." Wolf "Don't worry, you will be seeing your Dad soon Fox". Falco "Not if I have anything to say about it." Feirce fighting continues

Slippy in the base. He lifts up his Wrist. "I have found the Bomb." The Bomb is a gray cylinder as big as Slippy. In front of it red numbers are counting down. Slippy tears out a Panel and Start cutting wires. The numbers stop and the Bomb is defused. Slippy "Now about those auto defenses."

Zoom into Andrew's Ship. Andrew "Uh guys the Bomb has been defused". Leon "So what, we can still take them down". Andrew "But if someone is inside the base they can activate the Auto defense system." Wolf "Ha Bring it on" Falco then see's Andrew in his sights. Andrew is Shot down. We hear him "Uncle Andross!"

Slippy finds the main control panel. We see a screen viewing the tense battle going on outside. Slippy looks down and find a Red button. Slippy "Here we are". Zoom outside and guns start firing. We Zoom in Fox's Ship. Pigma is shot down "My Beautiful rewards Nah, haha." Fox "Serves you right Pigma". Wolf "Have you Forgotten about me?" Fox takes a major hit but still flies. A ship comes in from behind and takes Wolf out. Wolf "I can't lose". Fox "Thanks for the Save there Falco" Falco "Eh, that wasn't me". Fox "Peppy?" Peppy "Wasn't me Either, it was Slippy". Falco "Whoa". Slippy "We can save the chit chat for later. There is still one more."

Falco gets behind Leon and start firing. Leon "Annoying Bird, I am the great Leon". The others start firing and he is quickly over taken. Leon "This can't be happening." All Four ships land by the base. The pilots go in. Falco "Slippy, You where great out there." Falco give Slippy a little punch on the Shoulder "Sorry for thinking you triggered the Alarm." Slippy "Hey not problem. You know you're alright Falco". Peppy "Yeah Slip, I haven't seen anything like that." Slippy "It's all about the Element of surprise" Fox "I knew you would come through for me, but you did more than stop the Bomb, you took down Wolf, a very infamous Mercenary." Slippy gives a big Smile. Fox "Anyway, I think Slip knows we all appreciate his work. Let's tell the General he's got this base back."

They all walk up to the Control Panel. The General appears on the monitor. General "Great Work Star Fox. This base will be a great help in the War." Fox "Not only that but we where able to dispatch of Star Wolf" General "Most impressive Star Fox. We have Won a great Victory but there is still more to go. Your next mission will be on Titania. Our intelligence confirms that this planet is the enemy's main source for supplies. If you can take this out less ships will be running through our system." Fox "You can count on us General"

The gang heads back to the great Fox. In the main room Fox is thinking of a plan. Fox "Hmmm. If this planet is their main source of supplies we will multiple objectives. There will be a fuel bunker, building supplies, as well as a way to transport them. Hey Slippy how is the Landmaster?" Slippy "It's all fueled up and ready to go". Fox "Good, one of us will need to go down in the Landmaster to stop there transportation." Peppy "Before I joined Star Fox I was a great Tank Operator." Fox "Really? But how long has it been since you've driven one". Peppy "It's been a few years, but I can manage it." Fox "Just in case I will have Falco give you backup." Falco nods. Fox "Slippy and I will try to take out what we can from the air."

Zoom to the planet's surface. We see the tank rolling along with an R-wing close by. Peppy "Ah it's good to be back". Falco "You sure you can handle that Gramps". Peppy "No problem hotshot. I think I see a supply train ahead." Falco "Well what do you know. Show me what you can do with that thing" Peppy then starts shooting the cars of the Train. One of them explodes. Falco "Very Nice".

Zoom to Fox and Slippy. Fox "Peppy says he has found a supply train and is slowly taking it out. We will have to see if that's the only one or not". Slippy "Scanning now". A few moments pass. Slippy "From what I can see there are 2 tracks running in opposite directions. Only one is out." Fox "Good, do you see any potential targets?" Slippy "I am seeing a repair center, not only for the Trains but for all transports. Fox "Is this something we can take out on our own?" Slippy "Yes, however the building is tough. If we charge the main lasers on the great fox we might just be able to take it out." Fox "I see, I'll contact R.O.B."

Zoom into Fox's ship. Fox "R.O.B. Do you read me?" R.O.B. "How can I be of assistance." Fox "We have found a building that needs to be leveled. Slippy will give you the coordinates. You will need to use full power on the Great Fox's Main gun. We will provide cover" Slippy "Transferring coordinates now." a moment passes for the transfer. R.O.B. "Heading to location now"

Back to Peppy and Falco. Falco has a swarm of enemies to deal with. Peppy is taking on the train and tansports. Peppy "Okay I've got most of the cargo destroyed from the train. However my turret will not be able to penetrate the armor of the Train itself." Falco "I see a Fuel bunker up ahead. Looks like if we flip all the switches we can take out the train and the bunker at the same time." Peppy "Got it, here is a switch now"

Back to Fox and Slippy. R.O.B. "Great Fox is in position, will need cover." Fox "Will do R.O.B." The great Fox is being hit with many ships. Slippy and Fox are taking care of the enemies." Slippy "Falco and Peppy say they have found a way to take out the Main train in service and the fuel bunker at the same time." Fox "Good, that will be one less thing to destroy." A few ships are shot down R.O.B. "Charging main gun, ready to fire in 3 2 1." A bright flash floods the screen. The building becomes a big Fireball and is set on fire. Fox "Excellent work R.O.B. Better head back to the surface to avoid more enemies." R.O.B. "Heading there now"

Back to Peppy and Falco. Falco "Just a few more switches" Train engineer. "I didn't expect to have to use this, you are very lucky" Then a Metal bird shaped machine pops from the train. This is attached to the main train still. Engineer. "Step on the gas". This shape throws down giant javelins. Falco is able to take out a few for Peppy to pass. Peppy takes out the rest in his way. The machine then picks up Peppy. Peppy "There is one more switch I can't hit it from here" Falco "Can do". The Last Switch is places.

We see the track turn to the right. The Engineer "No hit the brakes. The trains slows down a little but breaks through all the barricades. It crashes through the last one and skids on the dirt into the Fuel bunker. Engineer "I can't stop it". There is a massive explosion and the plant is nothing but flames. Peppy "This old Hare has still got it" Falco "Well I had to flip that last switch for you." Peppy "Alright, let's see if the other need help.

Two ships come right next to Peppy and Falco. Fox "There is one more place to go, the Main factory. Great Fox won't be able to blast it with the main cannons. They need time to recharge again. We will need to go in and take it out. Falco "Our weapons won't be able to do anything to those ships and Peppy will be the only one that can go in." Slippy "There is another way in. Fox and Falco, press the Blue button in the upper right corner." The ships come to the ground and start walking like chickens. Peppy "You still amaze me Slippy" Falco "Let's save the chit chat for later. This factory may take a while to take out.

3 walking ships and Peppy Pull up to the door. Peppy "Here I'll knock". We see the door from the other side. It is shot to the other wall. Fox "Alright boys lets get to work." Everything is being shot up. Including a conveyor belt with many ships ready to go. Slippy "I'll lay a timed explosive on the fuel tank, that should take care of the rest. I'll set it for 5 minutes." Falco "What do you need 5 minutes for it will take us 1 to get out of here." Slippy "Never hurts to be careful with high explosives." Slippy walks to the fueling area then gets out of the walker. The hatch opens on his ship revealing a Cardboard looking box. On the front is numbers, on the side is a Dial. Slippy sets the dials for 5 minutes and set the explosive. Slippy "Explosive set, let's get out of here".

We see the 3 walkers and the tank heading twords the camera. An explosion happens in the background. Fox "All craft report" Slippy "I can see the look on their stupid faces" Peppy "I'm sure we hurt them this time" Falco "Now it's our turn to kick some tail." after saying this all craft go to the Great Fox. The Landmaster transforms in order to fly up to Great Fox.

Chapter 8 Planning

We see everyone at the main bridge of the Great Fox. Fox speaks "Great job out their boys, we have only 1 Target left, Venom. However Andross spared no expense in protecting the planet. The planet is protected by a shield, not to mention a space Armada. This will be the Hardest mission we have faced this far." Falco "Ah, bring 'em on, we have come too far just to give up." Slippy "I'm with Falco on this one, let's do it."

Peppy is standing off from the main group, arms crossed and looking unhappy. Fox "What do you say Peppy?" Peppy uncrosses his Arms. Peppy "We have taken out many ships along our journey, but we have had a few close calls. The rest of the group seems certain we can do it, but what do you think?" Fox "We have to" Peppy "You don't have to remind me of that. Before we go for it, let's let the Great Fox recover it's laser power, and come up with a plan of attack." Fox "Alright, first we will need a read out of Venom. When we make it past the Blockade we don't know where we are supposed to go"

Fox turns to the console. Types in a few commands and the General's face appears. Fox "We are on route to Venom. The planet is heavily guarded. Requesting support." General "Request granted. Most of Andross's forces have been defeated. From what I can read most of them are centered over Venom." Fox "Great, however making it through the blockade will be the first challenge. While Venom is not a huge planet we have no idea where Andross could be." Pepper "We do have a readout of Venom, however the only thing on it is where we placed Andross" Fox "I see. That information can still be useful though". General "Sending the file now." The file is downloaded and opened. Fox "From what I can see on this map, Andorss's forces are centered around where he was banished. We shall head there after getting on the planets surface." General "What is your plan of attack?" Fox "From what I see we have two major objectives. The space Armada and the shield generator. We should split into two teams. One to take on the Armada and another for the generator." Peppy "The shield generator is not very big. The team sent there should be small. After all the Armada will have more fire power". General "Excellent point Peppy. What about the ground assault?" Fox "We will have to get closer to the planet to size up the situation. For now have a small team on standby in case we need cover from the air." General "When will the assault take place." Fox "Ten Hundred hours. That way both of our teams can rest and be all the more prepped for battle." General "Confirmed. Radio Silence till Ten Hundred hours". General disappears.

Falco "I support the idea of having some backup for this next mission, but I feel we could have taken them on. Especially with Great Fox for cover." Fox "I like that fighting spirit of yours but I don't want to take any chances. The other planets we liberated where just freeing that one planet. With Venom, we are freeing the entire system." Peppy "That's right, the entire fate of the Lylat system depends on the outcome of this mission." Slippy "In that case, I'll check to make sure everything is in working order for tomorrow." Slippy Exits the room. Falco "I'll make sure our weapons are in working order for ground assault". Falco leaves the Room.

Fox and Peppy are sitting at a table. Peppy "Are you sure you're ready for this" Fox "I've been waiting for the day that I would take out this Monkey" Peppy "Don't let emotions cloud your judgment. You where nearly shot down by Star Wolf because of your emotions." Fox "I know." Peppy "There will be no way around it, we will have to meet Andross face to face. I want to make sure when that happens he won't have that advantage. We will have to kill Andross. If he can mass an entire army from banishment I hate to think of what he could to in Cornarian Maximum security." Fox "Indeed. Don't worry Peppy Andross will be stopped once and for all." Peppy "Good, let's see how the others are doing"

Peppy and Fox get up and go to the main console. Fox presses a few buttons. Slippy comes in on screen working on the R-wings. Fox "How is it going Slip?" Slippy "All ships are running fine. Just finished running test on the last one here". Peppy "Good, come back here when you are done, we need to discuss the battle plan". Slippy "Right, be up soon" The image gets Fuzzy. Fox presses a few more buttons and Falco is on screen. Fox "How are things on your end Falco?" Falco "Everything is loaded and ready for action." Fox "Excellent, when you are finished come back here. We will need to go over the battle plan". The screen goes out. Fox and Peppy go back at the table they where at before.

Falco and Slippy come in and take a seat by Peppy and Fox. Fox "Here is the plan. There are two main objectives. With The Generals support Slippy and Falco will take out the shield generator. With the Rest of the generals forces Peppy and I will break through the space Armada. We will have to ensure that we keep in communication at all times. If that shield is still up by the time we get through the Armada we will be unable to take Venom, and by that Time Andross could send more troops. Once the shield is down we will hopefully have a readout of the planet. We have a rough idea of the Target but will not know for sure what it is till we get there. Any questions?" Falco and Slippy nod their heads no. Fox "Good, now lets all get some rest tomorrow is going to be one hell of a day"

Chapter 9 Assault over Venom

Start with a black screen. In the background you hear an Alarm clock go off. From Fox's eyes we see the clock say 9:00am. Fox's hand Presses the button to turn it off. Zoom out and see Fox get out of Bed. We then see him from behind all dressed in front of a Metal Door. The door opens to reveal Peppy sitting at a table, with the battle plans. He is holding a cup of coffee. Peppy "Well Good Morning Fox, Bright eyed and Bushy tailed I see". Fox gives a disapproving look. Fox "Really?" Peppy "Hey, it's not like I can use that line on either Slippy or Falco". Fox "True, how long have you been up?" takes a sip and says "About an hour, we are close to our rendezvous point". Fox "Good, shall I assume no one else is up yet?" Peppy "You are correct". Fox "I see, anymore coffee". Peppy sipping puts the glass down and says "Just made it, there is enough for everyone." Fox walks over to the coffee pot "Excellent"

Fox starts pouring coffee when the door opens. Slippy enters. Peppy "Well good morning Slip" Slippy lets out a yawn "Good morning". He sits down by Peppy. Slippy "Are we getting close?". Peppy "We are almost there. Why don't you get some coffee." Slippy "Nah it's alright I'll just have a Bagel." Slippy get's over to Fox. Fox is done pouring the coffee and is sipping it. Slippy "Did you sleep well Fox?" Fox "As well as I could". Slippy takes a Bagel and places it in the toaster. Slippy "Excellent"

The door opens again revealing Falco. Peppy "Good morning sleeping beauty." Falco "Good morning Rip Van Winkle". Peppy let's out a laugh "I may be old but I was up before all of you. Why don't you get some coffee, just made it." Falco "Coffee sounds great" Falco goes over to Fox and Slippy. Slippy's Bagel pops up. Slippy "Ah Good morning Falco." Falco "Good Morning Slip" Turn over to fox "Fox" Fox takes another sip. Fox "Falco". Fox and Slippy then go to the table with Peppy. Falco pours his coffee and joins them.

Falco "So what time are we gettn'?" Peppy lifts up his sleeve "It's 9 hundred 10 hours." Fox "Good everything is running along smoothly. We will be ready by 10, and this War will be over with". Slippy "Yeah". Falco lifts his coffee mug "Here here". Fox,Peppy and Falco get their glasses up. Slippy lifts up his bagel and toasts as well. Peppy looks over to Slippy "Ah Close enough". Slippy just shrugs.

Fox finishes his cup of coffee, and puts it on the table. He lifts up his wrist. Fox "It's 9 hundred 30 hours try to be back here by 9 hundred 50 hours and we will get started." Everyone finishes then leaves the room.

Jump ahead and everyone is in the room with the General online. General "Alright Fox we are in position, we only wait for your command". Fox "Start the assault on the Shield Generator with a legion of 20 troops, Falco and Slippy with join you. Keep the rest of the troops ready for the Armada, we will be there shortly". The group then all go to their R-wings and they are off. We see two ships go in one direction and two more ships go off in the other. We zoom into Falco and Slippy's ship. Slippy "You ready for this?" Falco "You know it". Slippy "Good, I will need you to cover me as I get a reading for the shield generators weak point." Falco "No Problem" Slippy "I see it up ahead, here we go"

Zoom to Fox and Peppy's ship. Fox "Alright everybody we are in position. Let's go for it." Voice comes over "Will do Fox". We see Fox's Face in the ship. Fox "Bill? Is that you?" Bill "You better Believe it" Fox "I haven't seen you since the academy" Bill "We can catch up later, now we have a Galaxy to save. Let's Move out"

We see a few enemy ships flying. A Voice comes up "Caimen here, no problems." One ship is shot and explodes. Caimen "Do you copy, we have lost one of our ships and seeing a whole fleet coming in." We see a mysterious figure wearing red and behind a green computer screen "Good I was wondering when they would get here. I'll send the fleet at once"

Zoom to Slippy and Falco. There is fierce fighting going on, lasers are firing everywhere. Slippy "I've go it, all we need to do is shoot the main guns and the core will be exposed. Be careful though once the core is exposed there will be heavier weapons placed on top. Giving locations of primary target now." Zoom into Falco's ship. Several Red dots appear on his Radar. Slippy "Come on Falco let's take them out." Falco "I thought you would never ask" Slippy and Falco descend onto the station. Pepper's support are already on the station. Falco and Slippy start shooting the main guns. Slippy "Just one more." One of Pepper's ships takes it out Slippy "Good work, now only the core remains."

We catch up with Fox and Peppy. At the moment they are fighting off heavy gun placements with 50 of Pepper's men for Support. Fox "I've got word from Slippy, they have reached the core of the Shield generator and the shield will be down shortly." Peppy "Excellent." They go through some more heavy gun placements when they see space mines. Fox "Careful troops, I'm getting heavy readings of space mines ahead." Bill "No problem Fox, evasive maneuvers everyone. They make it through mostly in tact, a few ship got struck and went down. We see the mysterious figure again, he is looking up at the monitor seeing a frog like face. "Did we get 'em?" Kamen "Not yet sir" Figure "Damn, the Armada will be up shortly."

Back to Falco and Slippy "We almost got it, just a few more hits." There is one last explosion. Slippy "That's it, everyone out of here this station is going to explode quickly". Slippy flies out first followed by Falco and Pepper's ships this time there are only 14 ships left. There is a great explosions behind them. Falco "Good job everyone, let's meet up with the main group and give them some backup." All ships fly away to Fox and Peppy.

Zoom to Fox and Peppy. Fox "Careful everyone, I see enemy ships incoming." After that several "Star Destroyers" come in and start firing. Several are taken out, and several of Pepper's forces go down in smoke. Falco and Slippy come in with their troops. Slippy "Starting the party without us?" Fox "Wouldn't dream of it." Falco "Let's show the Monkey's Who's Boss." Several more ships come in. We see the mysterious figure with all the ships going down on his monitor. Caimen's face appears, "They have just broken through the First line." The figure nod no while stamping his foot in impatience.

Back to Fox and the army. We see several enemy missiles heading their way. Slippy "In coming enemy missiles" Peppy "Shoot 'em down we're being marked." Each try their best to take out these missiles. 5 of Pepper's Men are taken down. The Missile's Stop. Go back to the mysterious figure. "Did we get 'em?" Caimen "Not yet Sir." Fox and the Team find several more "Star Destroyers" ahead. Fox "There is a lot more of them this time, can you give us some cover R.O.B.". R.O.B. "Great Fox will cover you." Several "Star Destroyers are taken down in one shot. We see the mysterious figure again. Caimen appears "They have Broken through the second Line!" Figure "These guy's are crazy. Send in all we got at them."

Still more "Star Destroyers" come their way more than ever before. 3 are taken down when we zoom back to this figure again. He says angrily to the monitor "Fire, FIRE, DON'T LET 'EM THROUGH". Back to Fox, the lasers start getting more intense. Several more of Pepper's Forces go down, but more "Star Destroyers" go down as well. In the Thick of it we see inside Fox's Ship. A message appears and Andross answers. Andross "Ah, the son of James McCloud." We see Fox looking in shock He whispers "Andross" "Those tin cans are not match for me." "I'm looking forward to this." The Communication goes out. Fox is dumb founded. Just then Falco comes on. Falco "Eyes up top". Fox looks forward to see an enemy ship heading for him. He fire's him down in the nick of time.

R.O.B. comes in again "Great Fox Will cover you." Several more destroyers are going down. Pepper's men focus on the heavy gun emplacements. There are only 3 "Star Destroyers" left. Slippy "Venom is right there" The 3 Ships goes down, and it looks like everything is clear. Bill "Yeehaw, we did it". Fox "Looks like it". We see the mysterious figure again. He looks at the screen. "Damn, Deploy it now"

We go back to Fox and the gang. Something passes them all at fast speed. Falco "Crud, we where so close to Venom." We see the object come into view. A great "Star Destroyer", as big as 10 of the regular ones they have faced appears. Several guns start firing lasers, and missiles at the group. Most manage to dodge but a few are shot down. Slippy "Enemy Shields analyzed. This Super Dreadnaught, has a powerful Laser Beam. If we can take down the power source the whole ship will implode." Fox "Excellent. You hear that guys, Focus on the Main Laser Beam." Bill "Will do Fox"

Several shots are fired. Some of the laser guns explode, and a few more forces are lost. Slippy "Stand Clear, that main beam is about to charge". All ships back away from the destroyer when a great beam fires. The beam then goes back to the ship and the the gun opens up to recharge. Slippy "Now, the power source is exposed." Everyone attacks it. Several ships fly out of the "Star Destroyer" as well as enemy missiles. Slippy "That's it Get out of the way." Everyone gets away from the ship, shooting down multiple missiles and enemy craft.

We see from the inside. We see the mysterious figure looking at the screen. Everything is electrified. He screams at the monitor "How can this be, Inform lord Andross at once." Then the whole ship goes in a fantastic explosion.

Fox "R.O.B., can you get a scan of the planet." R.O.B. "Minimal life forms, no enemy craft present" Fox "Good. Bill take your team and take care of what other systems that are under Andross's control. We can manage it from here". Bill "Take care Fox" Fox "You too Bill. R.O.B. Any signs of Andross?" R.O.B. "Sending coordinates now." We see inside Fox's ship. A map appears with a Red dot on it. Fox "Star Fox, Move out"

Chapter 10 Assault on Venom

On the Planet's surface we see Wolf O'Donald. He has several red Splotches on his face and his left arm is Robotic. His cloths are torn up leaving the Robotic arm completely exposed. He looks down. "I've just got word from Andross, our trick worked. Since there are no readings other than us and Andross Star Fox has no Air Support. We will use this time to personally thank Star Fox for our new Make over's." He smiles. We see Behind Wolf exposing the rest of Star Wolf. Leon has a face that is half Robotic. In that Face he takes one last puff of a Cigarette and throws it to the ground. He gives an evil smile like Wolf did. Most of Pigma's face is Robotic. Both of his arms are exposed showing Robotic replacements. Andrew has both of his eyes replaced and his left hand is Robotic.

Wolf "You know the plan, when Star Fox makes his way to Andross we shall each take out one member with our Rifles. I will take out Fox. Leon, you take out Falco, Pigma, you take out Peppy, you know for old time sake." Wolf smiles and Pigman let's out a chuckle. Wolf "And Andrew, try not to Screw up hitting Slippy". Andrew "Hey, have I ever let you down before?" Wolf just raises his eye to the sky and turns away. He says a little annoyed "Alright". Then he says seriously "Everyone into positions".

Everyone takes their needed position over a cliff, making a good vantage point. We see 4 ships land. We see Wolf. He lift up a Black round device. He says "Alright Star Fox is here, take your targets" Wolf then gets closer to the rifle. We see through his Scope. Star Fox looks around, but is not alerted to them yet. He moves the Cross right on Fox's head. Wolf "Alright, on my count and not a moment more. 3... 2... on.. (Bang). A shot is fired near Fox's foot and everyone dodges quickly. Wolf "Andrew you idiot we almost had them." Andrew, "You said one your count, you said one and I fired" Leon "Yeah but you hit Wolfs Target more than yours" Andrew "It's this new Rifle I'm not used to it yet" Pigma "Excuses Excuses. Now that they know we are here, let's ambush them." Wolf "Great idea, not even Andrew can mess that up." Andrew "Hey!"

We zoom into Fox and the group Slippy "What was that" Falco "Sounded like a Venom Sniper Rifle". Peppy "Who's to say they aren't going to fire again?" Fox "I don't know but let's find some cover, until we can find our enemy." Up ahead, there is a small cave with some big boulders around it. Fox "Let's use that for cover." Falco "Quickly, a weapon like that isn't too hard to retrace." They all run to the cave before anymore shots ring off.

We see Wolf with Binoculars. We see through them. Wolf "They are in that cave up ahead. Just perfect for an ambush." Wolf's Team slides down the cliff and heads for the cave. We see from Fox's team. Fox "Here they come, wait until they get closer then fire." Wolf is ahead of the rest and starts firing. Fox starts returning fire. Each takes a few shots then dodges behind a Rock. Several Shots are lobbied between the two.

Slippy stops firing and star fiddling with a little Black sphere. After a few moments he says "It's ready." Falco "Good Throw it at them, that should take care of them." Slippy steps out from behind the rock and throws it. He is shot in the left arm and is holding it from the pain.

We see from Wolf's team. The sphere lands. Wolf picks it up and looks at it "What is this?" Andrew "Put is down and run." Wolf "Why?" Andrew Starts getting away. Andrew "It's an explosive." Wolf drops it and starts running. The explosion taking care of Star Wolf.

Falco "Great Job Slippy, you took them down the first try. Slippy is still holding on to his Arm. He says through labored breathing "Thanks Falco". Fox "Are you going to be alright Slip". Slippy "I'll be fine. Head on to Andross." He takes a little device from his Pocket and hands it to Fox. Slippy "The Red dot is where Andross is. I'm heading to Great Fox. This device is also a communicator. Let me know if you need anything more." Peppy "Will do Slip. Take care." Slippy "You too". He walks away to his ship while the others press onward.

We see Star Wolf all on the ground. The communicator goes off in Wolf's Pocket. "Star Wolf, give me a Status." We head to a control center where we see Andross. "Wolf do you Copy" He slams down at the main console. Andross "Damn. If you want something done right you do it yourself. He heads to the door. Before the door there Double Barreled Shot Gun mounted to the Wall. Andross rips it from the stand. He breaks the gun open and loads a few rounds. The Door opens. He closes the gun and looks back into the door saying "Stay here, this won't take long". All we hear is a muffled Scream.

We see Fox's team walking ahead. We then see Andross from behind. Andorss "I have been waiting for this moment a long time. You are the only thing that stands between me and ruling this system. I would have loved for you to die before you made it here, but doing this myself is a real pleasure." Peppy "I won't let you win Andross." Andross takes the gun and shoot Peppy. He is knocked to the ground by the force. Andross "Looks like he couldn't do it. He breaks open the gun and loads in another round.

Andross "Any other Takers." Fox looks at Peppy then at Falco. Fox "You heard him Falco, let's get him". They both run to either side of Andross. His 2 shots miss, and he reloads. A few laser blasts from Fox and Falco graze him. Andross "You are a great fighter, just like your father." Fox shoots Andross in the Shoulder. Andross puts a hand to it to see the pain. Fox "Don't you dare talk about my Father." Falco shots him from behind. Falco "That goes for me too." Andross let's out a growl, turns quickly and tried to hit Falco. Falco dodges quickly and kicks the gun out of Andross. He goes to the ground to pick up the gun. Andross tries to pick it up but Fox kicks it out of the way. Fox "It looks like you've lost." He then points the gun at Andross's head and fires. Andross is dead.

Fox then tries to kick Andross, but Falco holds him back. Falco "It's not worth it. He's already dead" Fox Tears up a little saying "Not only did he Kill my Father but the man who became my Father." Just then Peppy get's up. Peppy "Nah, this old man is till here." Fox "But how?" Peppy unzips his Jacket to reveal a Bullet Proof Vest with the shots all around. Peppy "Back when I went to the academy, we where told to wear one of these at all time when on ground combat. Nice to see it actually worked." Fox then get's up and give Peppy a Hug. Falco stands back a little to give them space. Just then the communicator cracks in. It's muffled and can't be heard. Fox get's it out. Fox "What is it Slip?" Slippy "From the scanner I see Andross has a Prisoner. We better Bring him back with us."

The teams heads to the base to find this prisoner. They see him tied in a dark corner. Fox unties him, and looks with shock. Fox "Dad". James, very beat up and weak says "Fox?" Fox "It's me Dad, don't worry, we will get you out of here." James "No, wait." Fox "We can't wait, we got to get you well again." James "The Andross you killed was only a copy." Peppy "A copy, what do you mean James?"

James "After you got away Peppy, Andross had several experiments that he ran on me. In hope of creating the Perfect Soldier. Andross knew that he had to keep me alive in order for the tests to work properly. Because I was still a great enemy he just barely kept me alive. Through his work I have seen several copies of Andross melt before our eyes. After a while Andorss was able to make a copy that would last, and later held a personality. There was one problem he ran into though. Both a copy of him and himself could not exist in the same plane of existence. As such he created a portal to another world. That is where the real Andross is."

Falco "Look, even if this was true old man how would we even get to this..." Falco lifts up his fingers and quote "other dimension?" James "Underneath this building is laboratory in which Andross has complete control over his portals. There is a problem though. Only he had access to the lab, and a memorized code." Fox "That won't be a problem." Fox lifts up his wrist. "Slippy do you copy?" Slippy "I hear you loud and clear." Fox "We have a door that needs access to. This door is equip with Bio metrics as well as a combination. Do you think you can handle it?" Slippy "I can handle the combination part just fine, but we need to have some sort of DNA of the operator to open the door. What kind do we need?" James grabs onto Fox's Wrist. James "It's a Finger Print." Slippy "Excellent, those are easy to fake, by the way Fox, who was that guy." Fox "That was James McCloud my Father." Slippy "Great News Fox, it's nice to see you are okay James" James "Thanks." Slippy "My Arm is still a little sore. I'll bring down the equipment and walk you through it."

Slippy lands by the door of the building. He gets out of the ship and notices Andross's dead body. He looks at it questioningly then goes to the building. Slippy gives a black box to Fox. Slippy "Here, this will get through the finger print lock. Also if Andross is dead, then why do we need to get to the this door?" Falco "The Andross we killed was merely a copy, and the real Andross is still alive in another dimension. The access to this dimension is through the door." Slippy "Ah." Turns to Fox and says "Now then open the black box." Fox opens it and looks at it in surprise. Fox "This is a makeup kit." Slippy "Exactly." Falco "Why do you have this?" Slippy "Um... it's for work" Fox "ha, sure". Slippy "Look, take the the brush and dip it in the white powder". Fox "Okay" Slippy "You see with these types of locks a finger print will still be present there. The powder brings the fingerprint back." Fox is done powdering.

Slippy "Good. James do you know what order the doors opened?" James, "The keypad then the fingerprint". Slippy "I see, Falco come on over here." Falco comes up to Slippy. Slippy hands him a Red Brick. Slippy "This device can crack the code" Falco walks over to the Key pad. Slippy "Take off the cover" Falco rips it off. Slippy "Good, there will be 2 wires in the bottom which connect to the 2 on the top of the box." Falco connects the wires. Slippy "Good, now just wait for the code to appear". Falco "That's it, thought it would be more challenging than that." Slippy "The real challenge was coding the box to do that" Falco "Fair enough."

A moment passes and the numbers appear. Falco "Got the combination" Slippy "Good. Now Fox there should be a white Stick in there." Fox "This one?" Slippy "Yes. After Falco inputs the combination, mash that stick on the sensor and it should work" Falco "Should!?" Slippy "There is a lot of variables here. I can't guarantee anything" Falco "Alright, putting in combination now" Falco puts in the combination. Falco "Combination in" Fox "Mounting stick." There is a Delay. Everyone stares at the door. Then the door opens. Falco "We're in" Slippy "Excellent, let's all get inside before it closes. All of them hurry inside. Peppy, helps James to get in. Then the door closes.

The Room is pitch black. Falco "Great we can't see a thing in here" Slippy "I think I saw a switch over here." There is a click and the room is lit. We see James pointing a machine gun at Fox. Peppy, Falco and Slippy get behind Fox's back. Fox "What are you doing Dad?" Jame's voice changes to Andross's "I am surprised to see that it was this easy to get you. Star Wolf was far too expensive for something this easy." Fox Shouts "Where is my Father you Monster!" Andross "I have him here in my lab. However once I get rid of you, he will be next". We see behind Fox's back, he motions his hand and Falco give him a small gun secretly. Fox "Like you said, you had to keep my Father alive for your experiments, why kill him?" Andross "I have what I need, he is no use to my anymore."

Fox points his gun at Andross. Fox "You forgot to mention which lab he was in." Andross is a little shocked. Andross "You may have taken out my copy easily but it won't happen with me. Andross shoots Fox, he barely dodges." Peppy takes his gun and starts firing. Slippy gives Falco his gun and he stars firing. Andross "You fools, don't you know I can help this system. My research can create an army of superior beings." Falco "We don't want to be slaves Andross." Andross "Who cares what you think, once I kill you all, I will have created a perfect race."

Slippy hand Falco another grenade. Falco throws it at Andross. Andross picks it up and smiles at it. The explosion goes off. Fox "Check one insane scientist." The smoke is still heavy and we hear Andross laughing. Andross "You think you can defeat me that easily. No matter, I am more powerful in my own dimension anyhow. Andross then takes a Ball out of his Pocket and throws it at the ceiling. A portal appears, he jumps. Star Fox try to go through the Portal but it closes before they reach it.

Slippy "Perhaps the main console here will show us a way in. Slippy types with only his right hand. He brings up a map. Slippy "It would appear that there is another portal open here." He points to the map. Fox "You heard Slippy Let's get him. Slippy stay here and see if you can find my Father, or any other prisoners that may be held here." Slippy "Will do, I wouldn't be much help in this fight". Slippy goes to the console while the others run to their R-wings.

We see inside Fox's R-wing. Slippy's face appears on screen. "Sending location now." A red dot appears on Fox's Radar. The 3 R-wings fly forward to see a Metal Dome Popping out of the ground. There is a Door on the top. The Door is already open. Fox "We will need to go single file, this looks like a Narrow tunnel." Each ship goes in, Fox in Front Falco in middle Peppy in back. They go in and find the portal. Inside they see Andross's Giant head, surrounded by what appears to be glass.

Fox "I will attack first. If he claims to be more powerful here, we will need to gauge his strength. Falco "Right we will wait out here, let us know if you need back up." Fox "Will do". Fox finds a way in through the glass. From inside the glass we see Andross is merely a giant Robot. His hands have large red Crystals on them. Fox in order to get a better shot transforms this ship to the walker mode. He then takes a few shots to the right hand. Andross "Do you really think you can defeat me. Isn't one McCloud losing to me enough." Fox keeps shooting at the Red crystal. Fox "Not on your life." Andross puts his hand right over Fox's ship. Andross "Not on yours either." The Hand comes down. Fox is able to Roll out of the way.

Fox "I will need some back up." There is only static. Fox "Falco Peppy, do you copy." Andross "It is no use, I am the only one that can hear you Mwah ha ha ha." Zoom into Falco's ship. Peppy "Do you think we should help him out?" Falco "Let's see, Fox do you need backup?" There is only static. Falco "Fox do you copy". The action freezes from inside the glass. Andross comes through the glass appearing as a Robot. Andross "I only want this McCloud, I'll take care of you when I'm done." Andross takes both of his hands and throws both of them out the portal and through the Tunnel.

Falco "We've got to get back in there." The Door shuts. Falco blasts away at it in hopes of destroying it. The shots only leave burn marks. Peppy "It's not use, we will just have to hope that Fox can make it. In the mean time let's help Slip out" Falco "I guess your right." They both fly back to the lab to help Slip.

Back with Fox. Andross comes back into the glass, and the fight resumes. Andross "It's just you can me now Fox." Fox "Not for long if I can help it". The right hand crystal turns Yellow, then shatters. The hand then explode to pieces. Andross "Ah no matter I will only need one hand to crush you." The Crystal turn purple and start sucking Fox in. Fox shoots rapidly at the crystal, and the grip is lost. Andross then points his finger at Fox, The tip of the pointer finger lifts up to reveal a laser cannon. Andross takes a few shots. Fox is able to dodge swiftly but get a few scrapes.

Fox is still shooting at the crystal. The crystal turns purple again, but this time electricity is shooting out of the Palm. Fox gets struck with a few bolts but it able to get the crystal yellow, then it shatters. The other hand then Explodes to pieces. Andross "It's time to end this fight, I have a system to rule." His eyes start glowing red and laser beams start coming out of them. Fox tries his best to avoids but gets scorched on the sides. Then Andross starts spinning in circles. Fox notices there is a small Red Crystal just under where the Neck out be. As Andross spins, Fox starts shooting there.

Andross starts to feel the shots and turns for Fox. He opens his moth and out come hot pieces of Metal. Fox tries to avoid them and continues to shoot the red spot. Just then Andross freezes. Fox "Looks like I've found your weak point." Andross is unable to move but sends pieces of glass hurting twords Star Fox. Andross just let's out a deep laugh. Fox is able to dodge. Just then the Red Crystal inside turns Yellow and Shatters.

Andross's Metal face is on fire. Andross "If I'm going down I'm taking you With me." Just then everywhere around starts turning to fire. Fox is able to escape the Glass before everything burns. Fox stars flying to the Portal entrance. Fox "That takes care of Andross, if I can get to that portal everything will be fine." He starts flying to it when Andross's Metal Face comes back. Andross "You won't be rid of me that easily" As Fox is flying out Andross is trying to eat him. Fox is able to dodge quickly. We see through Fox's Perspective. Flames are all around him and the portal is right in front of him. Fox "Come on, Come on!" Fox makes it through the portal. Andross "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Fox is able to make it out of the Tunnel.

Just then a violent explosion comes from behind the ship and sends it to the ground. We see a Black screen. We see eyes start to open. We hear James "Don't ever give up my son." Fox "Father?" The image is Fuzzy. We see a beat up James McCloud wearing a white Robe. James "You have become so strong Fox" Fox "Thank you, but is it really you." James "Of course it's me. I remember when you where born. I told your Mom "This boy is going to amount to great things". He lets out a weak chuckle "Looks like I was right."

Fox get's up slowly. James "Easy now" Fox "It really is you." Then he gives hims a hug. James Hugs back. James "I have missed you son. Look at how much you have grown." Peppy, Slippy, and Falco come into view. Slippy "Whew, you're all right." Fox "I'm still a little beat up, but I have never felt better." Peppy "We had better get going. There where not many prisoner's here but they would like to get back home, and I'm sure James would to." James "You're right Peppy, let's get going".

All ships fly to the Great Fox. Inside the great Fox, we are in the main room. Fox "Alright Slip, set a course for Cornaria." With Slippy at the controls he presses a few keys and they are off. We see the Great Fox then Zoom off into light speed. The camera then goes down to Venom. We see 4 ships come off the Planet. We zoom into one of them. Wolf is there looking about the same on the surface but more crisp. "Well, Andross certainly made us earn our money." Pigma "And not even all of it. I'm happy we asked for half of the payment in advanced." Andrew "Indeed, that is the last time we will mess with Star Fox" Wolf "If you say so. I like a good challenge." Pigma "Ah let them go Wolf, there are other systems that will pay good money for our services." Wolf "True, true." Andrew "Let's at least get back to base, my eyes maybe alright but that grenade really hurt." Leon "Stop whining. All the same that isn't a bad idea" Andrew "There you see" Pigma "Oh shut up" Then 4 four ships blast away to light speed.

Chapter 11 The Conclusion

We see the Great Fox from the back heading to Cornaria. A few of the Generals ships fly by in order to greet them. We hear Bill's voice. "So Fox, is Andross gone?" Fox "Yep he's gone, the mission was a success." Bill "Excellent. The General wants to see you right away. He wants to thank you personally." Fox "Very Good, Headin
