The Story: Chapter One: The Corneria Waltz Peppy wandered around the Great Fox, grumbling to himself about how "they think I'm just a senile old fool.pah! Crazy as a rabbit eh?" etc. etc. A couple wars had rattled his brain somewhat. But that's not the focus of the story now.

Fox grumbled as well, though for different reasons, he was trying to fix his Arwing, but it was not cooperating. He cursed loudly as something snapped inside the guts of the machine and cut his finger. From about ten feet away Krystal tsk'd at him "Aww, poor Foxy woxy, yous wanna bandaid for youws boo-boo?" She grinned at him "grumblegrumbleihateitwhenyoudothatgrumblegrumble" Came Fox's voice from the exhaust pipe "A band aid would be nice though, I'm coming out, watch it" A now gray Fox popped out from under the spacecraft "I probably should clean it to, don't want to get lock-jaw eh?" "Of course not, Im heading to my quarters to clean up" "How bout I go with you and help you?" Krystal said, waggling her hips at him Fox smiled "Krystal-" "FOX! FOX! I figured out how to boost engine power by 3 percent! We can go an extra 1.5mph!!!!" Came a high pitched and very unwelcome voice from the doorway "Umm.ok Slip, that's great.why don't you go work on the pools filters? Peppy's been shedding again." Fox said trying to give him a clue "But.but.ITS AN EXTRA 1.5 MILES PER HOUR!" Slippy blurted, as oblivious as ever "allow me" Said Krystal, as she hit Slippy on the temple, knocking him out for a while. Fox hit the call button and told Rob to come and take Slippy to the medical bay.

Once the robot had come and gone Krystal look back at Fox. "You seem a bit blue Fox" She grinned widely Fox chuckled at a joke so old and bad that it was funny. "Hey Krys, lets go back to my quarters and get that-" ALERT ALERT! PRIORITY MESSAGE FROM GENERAL PEPPER! Blared over the loudspeaker "that sonofabitch" Fox yelled "yes, he is, what's wrong with that?" Krystal couldn't help herself.

"Attention Star Fox, a group of Andross supporters have taken over Corneria City!" Came Peppers voice over the com unit "If you don't get here quickly we are all doomed! Help us Sta-bbbzzzzzztttt" "Transmission lost." Slippy's voice was muffled by the bandage wrapping his head "Good going froggy" Falco muttered on the couch "Oh and you could do better bird brain?" "Yeah I could you whining amphibian!" "Mindless dolt!" "Bug eyed idiot!" "SHUT UP!" Fox bellowed. Despite his earlier words Pepper was a good friend, and he didn't want to add him to the list of people he cared about, but had lost. "Rob, set course for Corneria, Slippy, get the ships ready, Falco and Peppy.PEPPY! WAKE UP! Falco and Peppy are with me.umm.Krystal.man the ships guns, we need you to cover us on the planet.

Corneria had changed. Well, in a sense it had changed, it had just recovered from the second war, now the buildings were on fire again, and robotic horrors wandered the streets, toppling buildings and killing whatever lived. "I'll land on the roof once we get to the Capitol Building, you guys cover the outside, try not to blow the building up." "Will do!" Said Slippy "Roger!" Said Peppy "Whatever" Said Falco Fox landed on the roof and set the autopilot to evade, then jumped out and ran for the roof entrance. At the same time two monkeys in combat hear appeared. "Hrngrnger FOX!" One shouted "Rngisrgh RUN!" The other elaborated They both turned to run and both fell dead with smoking holes in their backs. Fox leaped over them, everything was in a red haze, he plunged into the building, killing anything that got in his way.

As he reached Peppers office he sniffed expectantly.Cigars, Pepper was near. He picked up a piece of glass and used it as a mirror to look past the doors edge. Yes, a faint trail of smoke was trailing to a ceiling duct from behind an overturned filing cabinet. He kicked the door in and quickly rolled to the side as three laser blasts sizzled through the air above his head "Y'know General, the least you could do is not shoot at me" Fox grimaced and tried to put his tail out "I am here to RESCUE you" "FOX! I never thought you'd get here!" "You can thank slippy that were here a second early, now lets go!"

As they were taking off fox noticed a large device were the Senate used to sit, lots of tubes and wires and it seemed to be pulsating with a red light, as he was coming in to dock with the ship Krystals voice came over the radio "Oh gods no, a Dessicator!"
