A/N: Hey everyone! Welcome back! I apologize for my extended absence. Things were just really crazy for a while, but now that everything is falling into place, I have decided to continue my FanFaction writing. Of course, I'm not continuing all of the current stories, and they will probably all be removed soon. As many things have changed in my life, so have the style of my literary works. First off, I'm now writing in Word (erm, LibreOffice technically) instead of on the website. Also, my stories will be given a base word to work off of. (eg, this one is #unexpected) So, enjoy! :)
11 ALW, 9:53 AM, Great Fox, Corneria City, Corneria
My name is Wolf O'Donnell, head weapons manager for the Star Fox team. That's right, Star Fox. Not Star Wolf, those days are behind me.
This all started 2 years ago, after my team flew in, twice, to assist Star Fox. Once we flew off, Leon and Panther (who was unhappy about not getting a date with Krystal) began questioning my loyalty to my own team. As if I would betray them.
Clouded by their distrust in me, I was kicked out of the team and attacked on spot. I made it out of the hideout alive, but I was still upset with myself that I had gone to help Star Fox in the first place.
Either way, what was done was done, and I flew off to Corneria to stay under a new name for a while. On my way there, I thought about a lot. I considered starting a new team, but without the help of Andross, I wouldn't get far, and probably end up dead.
Then I thought of something I never thought I would ever think about, turning good. At first, I laughed at myself. Why would I even think about something so stupid?
But as I flew on, my thoughts began changing. Maybe turning my ways would be a good idea. I could start my own mercenary team with the help of the Cornerian army, then get my revenge on Leon and Panther.
Anyways, I flew in to Corneria, turned myself in, and only had to spend 6 months (6 grueling months) in prison before being released for good behavior. Those 6 months, which I spent alone, gave me some time to think. Instead of starting my own team, I could join Star Fox. Besides, they'll track down and kill Leon before I even get the chance to get off the ground with my new team, so why bother trying?
Lucky for me, Fox and his gang were just coming down when I was released. In fact, I walked out just in time to see the Great Fox land. It was apparent that something went down in space, as the huge ship seemed to had taken some damage, though it didn't seem too serious.
Of course, the team itself didn't seem to be hurt at all, which actually relieved me. But something I noticed about them was that there was someone missing, a particular rabbit, or hare, or whatever they call themselves. Apparently, I missed the memo that Peppy Hare, previously a pilot for Star Fox, had not only retired, but had also died one year after the Aparoid Invasion.
There weren't a lot of people floating around Corneria City, (something about having jobs) so it wasn't hard to reach them. I didn't even have to push through anybody. I just walked up. Of course, Fox had heard about me turning myself in 6 months previous, so he didn't look defensive. He just turned and greeted me. "Hey, Wolf."
I nodded in response. "Fox, I need to speak to you about something."
Fox's ears perked, and a concerned expression crossed his face, but he turned to his team, excused himself, and walked with me until we were out of earshot. I turned and looked down into the vulpine's eyes. He had grown, that was for sure, but I was still taller. By a lot. "Fox, I wanted to ask you if I could join your team." I said.
Fox was caught off guard. I don't blame him. He looked into my eyes for a moment, which seemed like ages. Despite me being Wolf O'Donnell, I was still nervous. Finally, he opened his mouth and said the four words that changed my life forever, "Welcome to Star Fox." He held out his hand, which I shook.
My life was immediately different.
A/N: Alright, there we are. Done. I realize this is kind of like a prologue to the actual story, so treat it like so. :) That's it. See you guys when I see you.
