-1Disclaimer: I don't own Starfox or Gundam Wing, just this story.
Note: This is my second Story, and my first crossover, so no flamers
Corneria: Fourth planet of the Lylat System. Over the years, Corneria has had a good share of problems, from the death of its famous war hero, James McCloud, to the attack of Venom, and to the invasion of the Apparoids. Yes, you'd think that Corneria has had enough problems, but its problems are just beginning.
Fox and the rest of the team, Peppy, Slippy, Falco, Krystal, Bill, and Kat, were sitting at the Great Fox, just waiting for an assignment. They were kind of like a group of mercenaries, but currently, they only answered to missions from the Cornerian Military, and only if they were approved by General Pepper. These were hard times. Ever since the invasion of the Apparoids, Corneria hasn't been the same. They were always at war with someone these days, mostly allies of the planet Venom, so the team's skills were needed, so they didn't let themselves get distracted by anything else.
However, this was a slow week. There weren't any real battles going on. There was a skirmish going on at Katina, but Bill was confident in the officer he had chosen as his replacement. Besides, it was just a skirmish. Finally, after an hour of listening to Slippy's blaring music, the communicator went off.
"This is the Great Fox." Rob always answered.
"We need your help, Starfox! It seems that an army is amassing near Corneria. It just appeared out of nowhere! We believe that these troops are under the leadership of Andross!"
"But, Andross is dead! I saw him die with my own eyes!" Fox exclaimed
"We don't know for sure, but the ships bear his seal. Please come to surface. You'll receive the details when you arrive!"
"Don't worry General, we'll be there soon! Then, to his partners, he said, "Alright, battle Stations!" The team ran to hanger and jumped into their Arwings. (Kat and Bill were still flying with the ships that the army used, codename: Y-wing, as they hadn't yet gotten their Arwings made.)These Arwings were not what you'd call new, as they'd been part of the Starfox team since James was the leader. Only one of them was "new," and it had been in use for a couple of years, so the whole team would've liked to get new Arwings, but still, none of them were complaining as they flew into the atmosphere. They shortly arrived on the surface, and were greeted almost immediately by General Pepper.
"Welcome, Starfox! I now, I'm sorry for rushing things, but our talk would be much better if we were in the conference room, so, excuse me." None of the team complained, and they rode a private hover-bus to the military HQ. "The reason I wanted to talk here is because this information that I'm about to tell you is strictly confidential. Only high-ranked officers know about it, and only a handful of them at that."
"Well, continue." said the ever impatient Falco.
"Do you remember about a year or so ago, during the battle of Sector Y? well, there were enemies there that were, "different" Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Yeah, they were like giant robots." Slippy responded
"Yes, exactly. Those were made using blueprints stolen from the outpost on Katina. I'm sure Bill knows this. Now, we have reason to believe (by painful torture and interrogation of the injured Pigma) that Venom still has those blueprints, and are attempting to mass produce them to create an army of remote-controlled robotic soldiers. So that they can have an endless army, as long as they don't run out of resources.
"These rumors were confirmed yesterday," he continued, "When a handful of those robots attacked Katina, attempting to destroy the still remaining blueprints, and again today when an army of them appeared a few AUs away from the surface. Now, I know that you're the most skilled pilots from Lylat, but for this, even you will need help."
"What kind of help did you have in mind?" Fox asked.
General Pepper didn't respond, and simply walked away signaling to the team to follow him.
AU means Astrological Unit. In real life, it is used to express the distance between the Earth and the Sun. In this story, however, it is used to replace miles or leagues when talking about distance in outer space.
Well, that's the first chapter. If it doesn't seem like much, that's because it probably isn't. it's just a prologue, and if you have questions (where do the Gundams come in?), they'll be answered in future chapters.
