The Merc and the Queen

Prerequisite: This takes place in a different universe of StarFox, but the original cast is used. I don't own StarFox, it is © of Nintendo. My first fanfic, so I hope you like it, it might be short.

Chapter 1

Fox McCloud, an infamous mercenary and leader of the mercenary team StarFox. He was occasionally hired by the Cornerians, but was hired by outside militias. The vulpine was strong, athletic, 5 ft. 10 in, tall for his species, and sometimes sought after by fans of his. He was also very successful with his jobs with no failures. The policy of his was "We'll save your planet for the right price," this was the only thing people disliked him for.

Fox's teammates were the best of the best, barely anyone like them. Falco Lombardi was the team's hotshot ace pilot, but also the cockiest. Peppy Hare, the eldest, was experienced but was handy with flight stick. And Slippy Toad, was the chief mechanic of the Arwings, Great Fox, and all the equipment used by the StarFox team.

The StarFox team made many rival mercenaries and enemies. They were many attempted attacks on them by rivals, but they prevailed, only to have huge damage on their ships to repair. Some Cornerians thought of them as low life thugs, others as heroes.

Time went by, jobs where completed, and debts were paid, but the team was always struggling to find new jobs. They sometimes split up to cover more and came back to see what they gotten.

Everything was as usually as boring, until…

"It's been so long since we split up to find more jobs, we should've at least gone in pairs in case of something," Fox thought as he drifted about in his Arwing. "At this rate, the team will split up for good."

Fox's mind began to wonder about as he stared out into space. Thinking about if they did split up for good or if they found well paying jobs. But some disturbing thoughts arose in his mind. He tried to forget them but they stuck. What happens if one of us is MIA or killed?

The more that Fox began to wonder, the more he began to become sleepy. He slowly closed his eyes trying stay awake only to succumb to sleep. "Nighty night Fox," he mumbled to himself.

2 hours later…

The Arwing's early threat warning system went berserk, waking up the vulpine. Fox still looked sleepy but began to asset the situation. He looked up his screen to see the threat. He was entering a planet's atmosphere. Somehow, the planet's gravity was stronger than others.

"What the…" as Fox began to struggle to get himself out, the engines cut. "Damn it, something is cutting the power." The vulpine was now seeing his Arwing heat up and turning red and orange as it sped down the planet.

When he got below 4 miles (until impact), he saw huge cites with towering buildings and skyscrapers. Fox awed at the site but quickly began to work out the landing. He found a small forest hidden by mountains. Fox slightly tilted towards and released the parachutes and he pumped out the landing liquid to cool down his Arwing so it didn't burn up the landing site.

"500 yd till impact, 400 yd…" Fox's computer slowly to count the distance until it he hit solid ground. He closed his eyes as though he was praying and braced himself for the landing. "300 yd, 200 yd, 150 yd, 100, 50 yd, IMPACT."

There was a large sonic boom just before his Arwing hit. The sound was most likely to frighten the locals.

Fox lie unconscious for hours. His computer was beeping the message "Landing successful, sending out distress beacon."

Unknown to Fox, the planet was Cernia. Cernia was similar to Corneria in pretty much every way. The largest most known difference was that the species on Cernia was sky blue. Cornerian scientists thought it was due to their blue star others though it was just their natural color. The Cernians' technology rivaled the Cornerians'. But what puzzled the Cornerian was that the Cernians' tech was combined what was believed to be magic. There were reports of this technology on some hostile encounters with Cernian pirates.

Fox landed on the largest continent on Cernia and also the largest nation. The nation was the United Cernian Empire, ruled by none other than…

You should at least know if you're a fan of the GCN series. Really sorry since it was short.
