Team StarFox in ...
Escape the Darkness
Prologue
Somewhere deep under the surface of the Aparoid homeworld, a lone aerial fighter hovered silently into a tunnel. In the cockpit, the pilot broadcasted a signal to all open channels.
"Leon...Panther...do you copy? Over."
After a few seconds of static, a voice came through the radio.
"Yeah...Wolf, this is Leon...send me coordinates. I'll relay them to Panther and we'll meet up with you. Over."
Wolf pushed a few buttons on the dash and, several moments later, two other ships, identical to the one Wolf was piloting, glided up to next to him.
"Well now," said Panther, "it appears that we are all here."
"Yeah." replied Leon, "Let's get out of here. This place gives me the creeps."
"Alright everyone," said Wolf, "follow me."
With that, the three fighters sped through tunnel after tunnel, following their on-board GPS. Sometime later, Wolf began to notice something rather strange.
"Hang on, guys," he said, as he slowed his team to a halt, "Has anyone else noticed that these passageways have been getting darker?"
"Yes, I have." came Panther's reply. It had grown so dark that Wolf couldn't see his teammates' ships. "It is most unusual, don't you think?" Panther continued.
"Hey, guys?" came Leon's voice, "I think that we should..." He was abruptly cut off as his speech was replaced with garbled static.
"Leon!" exclaimed Wolf, "Come in...Leon, do you read me!"
By this time, Wolf realized that the strange shadow of darkness had completely engulfed his ship. Another worried voice came through his radio.
"Boss!" said Panther, "Boss, con you..."
"Panther!!" yelled Wolf as Panther's voice became static as well.
Wolf's anxiety was steadily rising. He became aware that the darkness was now seeping into his cockpit.
"What is this!!!!" he yelled in distress. Wolf, found that his arms and legs could no longer move. All he could do gasp one last word into his comm link..."help!"...before the darkness overtook him.
