"I hear voices in my head. They council me, they understand. They talk to me."-"Voices" by Rev Theory.
Haunted by the death of his parents, Fox McCloud's mind was warped into that of a viscous fighter not afraid to harm those around him. Can Krystal help ease the scars of his past, and can Fox learn how to harness the "Voices" in his head to benefit him?

Star Fox: "Voices"
Chapter 1: Prologue to an adventure.
On the planet Corneria, a scientist by the name of Andross had been in charge of making sure the planet was safe. He had crossed paths with a young fox named Vixy Reinard McCloud-wife of James McCloud and father of Fox McCloud. To get her affections, Andross knew he had to get the competition out of the way. To do so, he secretly had a bomb planted in James's car.
Unfortunately, Vixy's car broke down and James let her use his car to get to work. The young Fox McCloud and his father were waving good-bye when the bomb went off. They young and often joyful Fox became very quiet after that day-preferring to watch others interact and only responded when spoken to directly. Fearing for his son's safety, he had Fox start taking self-defense classes as soon as he was old enough, often having his old friend Peppy Hare look out for Fox when he wasn't able to.
Fox excelled at those classes, and also took up learning how to use a collapsible Bo-staff- as weapon to use when cornered but able to fold small enough to not be directly seen all the time. Years later, as Fox started attending flight school and met Slippy Toad, Bill Grey, and Falco Lombardi, Andross got it in his head that only HE could keep the Lylat system safe, and performed genetic experiments on himself. This had the scientist banished to the planet Venom, where he started launching attacks on Corneria from. To keep the planet safe, General Pepper hired the Star Fox team composed of Peppy Hare, Pigma Dengar, and James McCloud.
The team got to the planet Venom. However, before they could actually attack Andross, Pigma betrayed the team and shot down James as well as damaging Peppy's ship. Peppy barely made it onto their mobile headquarters, the Great Fox, and returned to Corneria. When Fox learned what happened to his father, part of his mind snapped. Whenever people surrounded him, he heard voices within his head, telling him how to fight if necessary or use the environment around him to his advantage. Peppy had taken over raising Fox after James died. Much to Peppy's horror, Fox-now in his late teens- got a tattoo on his back. It composed of swirling and lightning-like lines below his neck and extending to his shoulders in a tribal-like design (like Randy Orton's. When Peppy asked him why he got it, Fox only responded "To learn how to deal with pain." It was during this time that Fox invented the FKO-the Fox Knock Out (think of the RKO).

A year later, Andross mounted a full-scale invasion of the Lylat system. It was then that Fox reformed the Star Fox Team-mercenaries for hire-by recruiting the "veteran" Peppy Hare, his old friend the "ace pilot" Falco Lombardi, and the mechanic Slippy Toad. After nearly a year of travel and combat-and encountering the Star Wolf team, composed of Wolf O-Donnell, Leon Powalski, Pigma Dengar, and Andrew Oikonny-they finally broke through to Venom. It was here that Fox had a one-on-one battle with Andross to avenge his parent's death.
Fox had been appalled by Andross's appearance; he had performed so many genetic experiments on himself that he now looked like a giant head with two hands. Despite being larger and having the "home field advantage" Andross was taken down due to Fox listening to the "voices" to know how to dodge and strike back. Andross, in a final act of defiance, set of a self-destruct sequence in his base. Just as Fox was starting to panic, the ghost of James McCloud in his arwing appeared before Fox and led him out of the base.
Having wanted to strike down Andross for a while, Fox relished in the victory. But the appearance of his father left a bitter taste to an otherwise sweet victory. Falco had the team celebrate and-somehow-got his hands on some alcohol. Fox actually listened to Falco's advice to "loosen up" and got drunk. He woke up the next morning with a monkey skull tattoo on his right shoulder.
Fox's girlfriend, a fennec named Fara Pheonix, started getting greedy with the large amounts of money the Star Fox team received. When Fox put his foot down on Fara's spending habits, she broke up with him-rather publicly too. Her last words to him were "I'm Sorry, Fox." As she walked to her car, Fox shouted out "No! I'm sorry…FOR THIS!" He then followed by performing the FKO on Fara, slamming her head onto the trunk of her car. After the incident with Fara, Fox avoided relationships due to being afraid of the emotional pain he felt with Fara, and afraid of not being able to tell which girls wanted to be with him for fame and money.
After a couple of years, money started getting tight as the Great Fox and arwings needed constant maintenance. With Andross gone, the people in the Lylat system had no need for the Star Fox team. There was a scare on the planet Titania where Andross's loyal followers tried to revive him. Though they were defeated, Falco stayed behind to help his old flame Katt Monroe. Though inwardly saddened by the loss of his old friend, Fox understood the reasons he did so.
Now, the Great Fox travelled aimlessly through the Lylat system-they approached a lost corner where the little known "Dinosaur Planet" was located.
None of them knew that this would be the start of a new adventure that would forever change the life of Fox McCloud forever….
This is just the beginning. I hope to see you all in chapter 2!
