A dreadnought class ship is drifting around the Orbital Gate a space station over Corneria, it warps ships that are not equipped with a jump drive. The reason the ship was there was it needed fuel. The crew of the ship was a group of five mercenaries called team Star Fox. The team was first formed many years ago. The only know members names were, James McCloud and Peppy Hare. Then the team was leaded by James' son, Fox McCloud, now the team is commanded by Lazar Danzek McCloud.
The Star Fox name is know all throughout the Lylat System and they have a flawless record of success. Lazar D. McCloud is the leader. Fox is still a member of the team, now 47 he seldom climbs into an Arwing. Krystal McCloud is also there filling the same role as Fox. Janet Lombardi, daughter of Falco Lombardi, she is the ace pilot of the group. Fay Pawson, an average pilot, she is very skilled with many types of blasters, also she is a relative of General Pepper. Miyu Tsuzurahara, he is a technical genius, he can be a bit hard to understand at times but the general message of what he's talking about gets through.
(Space Station Fueling Bay)
Lazar was casually walking through the fueling bay until he walked to one of the workers. "Hey, you. How much longer until the ship is refueled?" The worker walked to a nearby computer terminal and replied "The fueling should be complete in about an hour." Lazar then left with a nod.
I wonder if Miyu is done testing the jump-drives for the Arwings? I'm sure he's in the hangar bay with Dad and his friend Slippy. I still can't believe that the old team saved Lylat from doom so many times. How often do you travel across Lylat to single handedly stop an army?
Lazar was strolling down one of the station's many metallic hallways his boots making a thick clicking noise with each step. He then came to an elevator and went down several floors. After exiting Lazar was standing in a fairly large room. It was the hangar bay where many different vehicles where stored. He walked to an Arwing with Fox and Slippy were standing nearby and Miyu was in the cockpit. "Hey Dad!" Lazar shouted out to his father.
"Hey Son, how is the fueling progress on the Great Fox?"
"It should be done in about an hour." Miyu then climbed out of the Arwing. A lynx, he had dark brown fur with the occasional black streak and white fur on his jaw and cheeks.
"Okay, the jump drives for the Arwings are done. You want an explanation how jump drives work Lazar?" asked Miyu.
"Yeah sure."
"From my research when certain conditions are met small sub-space ruptures begin to occur around the ship, after this continues for a brief moment the tear in sub-space acts as a mini-black hole and the Arwing is propelled forward at a great speed, but this tear in sub-space makes a large explosion after the jump so beware what is around you when you decide to use it." Miyu finished the explanation to Lazar and the others, Lazar was silent for awhile trying to figure out Miyu's explanation. Then Slippy made a comment, "What he's saying is that jump-drives are more dangerous than the gate but the drive can be used anytime, and the jump-drive uses quite a a bit of energy so don't over use it.
With that task done Lazar, Fox, and Miyu start walking to the Great Fox. "Miyu when will we test the jump-drives?" asked Lazar.
Instead of Miyu replying Fox did. "After we refuel and we are orbiting over Corneria. That's when we'll do the test." Lazar simply nodded in response. The Great Fox the team was using is actually the old Great Fox. During the Aparoid invasion Peppy had to crash the Great Fox to allow the rest of the team to defeat the Aparoid Queen. Peppy escaped in a life pod just before crashing. Despite the huge amount of money they received for saving Lylat it wasn't enough. Peppy decided to reuse the old Great Fox and give it a much needed overhaul.
(Great Fox)
Lazar and Fox are in the ship's gym sparing with each other. Peppy and Fay are on the bridge making sure the ship was operating correctly. Krystal was in her room and Miyu is in the hangar bay working on his many experiments.
(Great Fox gym)
Lazar swung his staff in a downward slash, but Fox blocked this by quickly moving his staff in horizontal position above is head. The staffs made a loud cracking noise as they made contact. Fox twirled his staff and suddenly attempted to jab Lazar in the stomach but Lazar slid backward to avoid the blow. Lazar and Fox continued to parry and dodge each others blows. The way they moved was a dance of combat and sheer speed and agility. After parrying one of Fox's attacks Lazar backed away and went into a defensive stance, closing his eyes. Fox took notice of his change of stance and spread his feet apart and tightly griped his weapon. Fox then charged at his son, and swung his staff with all his strength in a overhead slash-like attack.
For Lazar when he closed his eyes the way he saw the world completely changed, Fox's movements seemed to go in slow motion. Fox's staff was inches away from hitting Lazar. With blinding speed and quick reflexes, he slid to the left, dodging the attack, then he turned around and pinned Fox to the ground. A cocky smirk crawled onto Lazar's facial features. "Looks like I win this round."Lazar then stood up allowing his stunned father to gawk.
"How were you able to dodge my attack and pin me down like that so fast?" Fox said surprised and his son's ability to use a staff. "Has your mom been giving you lessons?" Lazar chucked at that comment.
"No she hasn't. I'm guessing Mom also beat you in sparing matches like these."
"Yes, she did, but that was only because she was trained with the staff for years. Also from what Krystal told me Cerinians have very acute senses and telepathy. There was about a two second pause before Fox spoke again. "Well, whatever that was a good match. But I still have a lot of kick in me." After that they decided to go back to their rooms and clean up.
