(A/N) Hello everyone. Now this is a story idea that I have had in my head for a while. I hope that you all enjoy this story; it's a little more graphic than my other story. Now one more thing, I have named one of my characters after an avid reader of mine, can you guess who it is? Now without further delay let's get started.

All was quiet on the command deck of the 'Great Fox', all the lights were off in the room, except for the light of a monitor screen in front of the command chair. All was quiet, until it broke after a few minutes. "I don't like it, there is something going on down there, there has to be." The owner of the voice was an orange and white fox who was sitting in the captain's chair in front of the screen, with his left palm resting on his chin in deep thought. That fox's name was Fox McCloud the leader of the legendary Cornerian mercenary group 'Starfox'. After thinking on the matter for a few minutes longer he resumed staring at the screen which had an image of the planet Earth under heavy blockade from the Earthen Military. Krystal, Fox's wife came into the room and turned off the screen.

"Fox, whatever is going on with the humans I'm sure they can handle it, if they needed help, then they would have asked us." She said while stroking Fox across his head. Fox let out a deep sigh.

"I just don't get it, why would the humans barricade their own people inside their own home planet." Krystal sighed.

"Fox, as confusing as this situation is, it's out of our hands, all we can do now is just wait." Fox look up at her.

"You're probably right Krystal. It's just that I don't have a good feeling about whatever is down there. You know what; just to be sure I'm going to call in a favor from a few friends of mine, just to be safe." Krystal rolled her eyes.

"Seems you're being just as paranoid as ever Fox." Fox paid her no mind as her proceeded to make a few calls.

(The next day)

"Come on, why can't Fox just do these things himself, I get we all owe him for him saving us but, this doesn't really seem like the best way to ask for payment." Said an eighteen year old Fennec fox named Fara Phoenix with light brown fur and purple hair. "I know it's weird that Earth has been silent for this long, it's just, what does he care? Better yet, why does he need us to do it?" She thought out loud while getting into her flight suit. Then a deep voice said next to her.

"Simple, cause Fox is too damn lazy to do it himself." Said by a large twenty-three year old Doberman next her also getting in a flight suit of his own. Fara glanced at him.

"It's odd Brick, why would Fox waste his one favor that we owe him to have us do something this pointless?" Then another eighteen year old red robin girl who was in the cockpit of her Arwing spoke up.

"Does it really matter you two? I mean come on; this will only take a few hours." Fara then turned her gaze in her direction.

"I just don't get this mission Ruby." Then a twenty year old white wolf who was sitting in the corner got out of his chair.

"What's not to get? All we need to do is make our way onto the planet undetected, which with these babies, shouldn't be a problem, scan the planet for any troubles, and then come back. It's that simple." Fara nodded at him.

"Well you do have a point Solrac. Alright you guys, lets mount up and get this over with, I wanna be home for dinner." They all gave a single nod before climbing into their Arwings and took off from their flagship, departing towards the planet Earth.

When Earth and Corneria met fifty years ago in the year 2276 it wasn't on the best of terms. Each had met during routine flight training for their respected militaries. They had each assumed that the other were pirates of some sort and promptly engaged in a massive dogfight that lasted for several hours. After it was over and no victor was decided they each met on the Cornerian flagship. Each side was astonished when they met each other, the most surprising thing was that by some impossible miracle, they both spoke the same language, they just called it differently. But each side was also ecstatic that after all this time they had finally stumbled upon an alien race. They had immediately signed a truce and a trading agreement. Mankind was fascinated in their ability to make ships while the Cornerians were fascinated in the Human's ability to make ground weapons and food. While the Cornerians preferred to use blasters, Humans preferred to use something called 'bullets' some kind of small metal projectile that hurt like nothing else if you were hit in a non-vital area. But as amazing as these guns were to Fara and her team, they preferred to stick to their blasters.

Fara, Ruby, Brick, and Solrac were a team, ever since they joined the Cornerian Army, which hasn't been for very long, about a little less than a year. Since Brick was the oldest and therefor had more experience with the Arwing, he was the team leader, not that any of them had a problem with that. Solrac was the team's medic, his father worked as an ER doctor on his and Fara's home planet of Papetoon; he was also a HUGE pervert. Ruby was the team's engineer; she worked with her father as a mechanic on her home planet of Zoness before she joined up, she was also an expert when it came to fixing an Arwing. As for Fara, she was the team's strategist, when they were in a tight situation, most of the time Fara was able to get them out of it.

As Fara was enjoying the peace and quiet Solrac decided that now would be a good time to break it. "Hey Brick, when we get to Earth can we stay for a little while? I hear Earth females are AMAZING in bed." Fara facepalmed, but Ruby followed with.

"I've heard the same thing about the males; to be honest I'm interested in staying for a little while as well. I mean come on, what could possibly be wrong with that planet?" Fara could hear Brick grunt on the other side of the comm link.

"Yeah I don't see anything wrong with it; I bet the humans are just blockading their planet because of some drill or something. How about you Fara, we could find you a boyfriend maybe." Fara sighed.

"Guys how many times do I have to tell you, I don't need a boyfriend right now. But fine, I have no objections with staying for a little while." As they entered visual range of Earth, Brick started them off.

"Alright guys, camouflage on." They flipped a few switches on the roof of their Arwings and they became undetectable on any ships radar, as well as refracting the light around the ships to give the look of invisibility. This was only a temporary thing because doing so meant draining quite a lot of the ship's fuel. After making it past the Earthen Military blockade they entered Earth's atmosphere. Ruby turned on her radio.

"Ok we should pick a city to land in. Brick, can you see which city is closest to where we can go?" After a few second of listening to Brick hum while he searched he barked out.

"Well it looks like the closest city is a place called Houston. Computer says it's the largest city on the continent of…North America. That seems as good a place as any, so let's set 'em down there and refuel, I'm almost out." Fara nodded her head.

"Copy that, I'm almost out here as well." But when they finally came within sight city, they could only stare at what they saw with their jaws hanging wide open. Solrac was the first to break the silence.

"Holy shit, what the hell happened here?" Fara couldn't speak; she could only keep her eyes glued to what she was seeing. Buildings were smoking and in ruins, the streets were completely empty, cars were abandoned or destroyed on the road, and there was blood all over the streets. Then after another minute of silence Brick spoke.

"Guys, I don't think Earth was blockading their planet as a drill." Solrac came back immediately.

"Wow, what made you figure that out? Was it the blood, the smoke, or the quiet?" Fara had to break up what would be a coming argument.

"Come on you guys, we've seen what we need to, let's just get the hell out of here." Brick then had to make the situation worse.

"Uh I hate to break it to ya Fara but, none of us have enough fuel to make it back to the ship. As much as it pains me to say this, we have no choice but to land and find some fuel for the ships." All of them knew that they were going to regret doing this.

All of the landing pads in the entire city were destroyed or had the smoking carcasses of an earthen plane blocking it, so they had to put their Arwings down in the middle of the street in a small suburban neighborhood. As they landed someone was watching them from the window of his home that was around three miles away. "Oh my god, finally some help. Wait a minute, those are Cornerian ships, they're gonna have no idea what's out there. Shit I have to get to them before they do, the 'walkers' are sure to have heard that. " He turned to a small form next to him. "Celia I want you to stay here, be really quiet, and be safe, I will be back soon ok?" The small child nodded.

"Ok big brother, I will, please be careful." He went to the closet grabbed his armor, a silenced pistol, and a knife and made his way out the door. After closing it he broke out into a dead sprint, hoping that he could reach them before 'they' did.

"Hey what's that?" Solrac finally said after a minute of all of them just standing by their Arwings. They all began to look at what Solrac was pointing at. It was a women, she looked like she was in her late forties, she was bleeding from several places, her skin had turned a pale green, and she looked like she had a chunk of flesh torn off from her neck. She was just staring at them with dead, unblinking eyes, not even moving, just staring. The entire team couldn't help but feel really unnerved from her stare. Finally Brick started to approach her.

"Ma'am are you ok? Are you hurt?" No response, just more staring. After making a few more steps the women opened her mouth and made the loudest demonic screech they had ever heard. They had to stop to cover their ears to protect their eardrums from the noise. Then as quick as she started, she stopped. Then she broke out in a dead sprint at Brick. None of them could keep up with how fast she was. Before any of them could think, she had tackled Brick to the ground and was attempting to move her jaw closer to his neck. But Brick put his hands on her face and was doing the best he could to hold her back.

Suddenly something grabbed the collar of the women's shirt and pulled her off. Brick glanced up to see that Ruby had managed to get her off. When the women had gotten back on her feet she began to just stare at them again. By this time Brick had already managed to get to his feet and pointed his blaster pistol at her. "Don't come any closer or I will shoot." As if challenging his words she began to run at him again. Brick shot three times into her chest but she just shrugged them off, not even slowing down. Before he knew it he found himself back on the ground wrestling with this completely insane women again. But after ten seconds of struggling she just went limp. After Brick registered that she had stopped her took a look at her. There was a twelve inch knife sticking out of her head. After he pushed her off, Solrac and Ruby helped him to his feet, Brick then said "Hey whose knife is this?" Both of them shrugged their shoulders. Just then, Fara called out.

"Hey guys, over there." She was pointing to another human; he was in some kind of black body armor with bold yellow stripes running down the arms and a yellow 'H' on top left part of the chest plate, there was a silenced pistol in his left hand, but Brick also noticed that his knife holster was empty. All of them pointed their blasters at him. "Stop right there, put your hands up." The man put his hands in the air, all of them slowly moved towards him with their blasters still raised.

Ruby was the first to get a good look at him and her first thought was ironically "Wow, he's pretty cute." He looked like he was an early adult around eighteen to twenty-one years of age, his irises were a deep blue, with short dark brown hair, and he looked like he hadn't shaved in a week. But Ruby had to admit, the hair on the face worked for him. But what really got her was the scar that went across his left cheek. She thought that worked for him as well, but regardless, she couldn't let that distract her from the fact that he might be another one of those crazy humans. All of them had their blasters trained on this new human; after a minute of just quiet he attempted to talk to them.

"Ok, I know you guys are confused but just please, put down the blasters and I'll explain everything alright." Solrac then spoke up.

"How about we keep these blasters on you and you tell us WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON." The human flinched when Solrac started yelling.

"Hey not so loud, you'll attract more of them." Fara became curious.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean 'them'?" The human slowly began to put his hands down as they began to lower their weapons.

"You know, 'them' as in, more people like that women who just attacked you." Brick entered the conversation as well.

"So that was your knife huh? I guess I should thank you." Brick then tossed him his knife which he put back in its small scabbard, the human seemed to be in a hurry.

"Look, we don't have a lot of time; more of them are bound to- aw shit." The human then began to walk forward. Each of them could see what he was walking to, the same doorway that the woman had come from. Now there was a child in its place. He looked like he was no older than eleven. The human continued to move up until he was around twenty paces away; he then pointed his gun at him and fired. After they heard the silent 'pit' of the shot they could all see the bullet go straight through the child's head. All of them went back to pointing their blasters at him.

"What the hell, why did you just shoot that kid?" Solrac had said after he caught up with what was going on. The human just glanced in their direction.

"Because, he was one of them as well, I had no choice but to kill him." Fara spoke up.

"You still haven't answered that question yet, what is going on?" The human began to walk past them.

"Look I'll explain everything on the way to the safe house, let's just get out of here before more show up." They hesitated for a little bit, but decided to follow him. As they were walking, the still unknown human began to speak. "Nobody knows exactly how it started; all we do know is that it's a virus. I will tell you the only way to kill them is to shoot them in the head." The Cornerians were confused like nothing else. This human was telling them that there were more of those crazy people out there, and they had to kill them. The human looked back at them. "I know that this is a lot to take in but, once we get to the- oh no." They all looked in the direction that he was looking. There were around six people sprinting top speed at them. The human turned around and started running as fast as he could down the road, the Cornerians followed suit. "DON'T LOOK BACK JUST RUN." They kept running for around three miles when he entered a house at the end of the neighborhood. He gestured for them to get inside, which they did so without hesitation.

After they went inside he shot of two rounds at their pursuers, and in turn, two bodies hit the floor. Then he shut the door and pulled a metal reinforced sliding door over the first one, and locked it in place, five seconds later rabid pounding could be heard against the door. After he found them all in the living room scared and confused; after letting them rest for a few minutes he spoke up. "It's ok; you're all safe here, for now. The 'walkers' will give up after a few minutes" After few minutes of standing there in silence Ruby spoke.

"By the way we never got your name." The human looked up at her.

"My name is Raphael Bowerstone; and let me be the first to say 'Welcome to Earth'."
