Okay, this is my first fan fiction so cut me some slack. I should also let you know that I plan on making this story pretty long but I'm not sure how long it will take to finish it so bear with me.
Star Fox: A New Beginning
Prolog
It had been one year since the legendary Star Fox team defeated the forces of the Angler Empire. Venom, the once inhabitable world of death and destruction, was now being made habitable by some of Corneria's top scientists to ensure that no more threats would rise from the seemingly evil planet. The project to purify Venom of its acidic oceans and lethal atmosphere, known as project "Anti-Venom", was making great progress thanks to the efforts of Beltino Toad. He helped develop a large assortment of rapidly growing plants to be placed all over the planet to help clean the air, and soon massive lush green forests covered the once bare and dead planet. Shortly after the atmosphere was made breathable, groups of colonists started to settle on the planet to form cities, eager to take advantage of its rich and unknown resources. Although the atmosphere was now breathable, the oceans were still acidic, though not as nearly as acidic as they were before. Before project Anti-Venom was started, the oceans would have instantly dissolved anyone unlucky enough to fall into them, but now it would take at least a half hour in the ocean water to completely dissolve someone, and although they were still dangerous, the oceans of Venom were now much less lethal.
The citizens of a small city located on the coastline of Venom looked up to see the Arwing piloted by the one and only Fox McCloud screech by overhead towards the ocean.
'Wow', the russet red vulpine mumbled to himself as he flew through the skies of Venom amazed at how beautiful it now looked. If he didn't know better he would have thought he was on Corneria, that and the fact that the oceans of this planet were green and not blue. He flew low and looked down at the beautiful lush forests and was baffled by how fast they .had grown
His Arwing was now flying over the oceans, following the coastline that seemed to divide the world apart. 'This seems like the right spot', Fox thought to himself as he slowed his Arwing until it was now hovering around a hundred feet or so over the deep green ocean. He then opened the canopy and crawled out the cockpit of the hovering vehicle and sat down on its nose with his hands behind his head.
For a while he just laid there; eyes open and staring at the forests he could see from his altitude. He eventually found himself thinking about the past. It had been one year, one whole year since the Anglers attacked. One year since he made the biggest mistake of his life. One year since he forced Krystal off the team. At the time, he thought he was protecting her, he didn't realize how much he was hurting her when he did, but he just couldn't risk losing her. He loved her more than anything, but never had the courage to tell her and was devastated to hear that she joined Star Wolf. Now, he wanted her back more than ever. At one point he thought that he had her back when she left Star Wolf to help him defeat the Anglers. When she was back on the team he wanted nothing more than for things to go back to normal. He wanted nothing more than to fully apologize for hurting her and tell her how he felt, but whenever she was around him on the Great Fox, she always gave him a cold glare. He knew that she would never truly forgive him. He tried many times to tell her, but every time she looked at him, fear seized his throat and stopped him from telling her. He thought that eventually, time would pass and he would be able to tell her. That was, until that unfaithful nightmare of a day.
"I'm sorry, Fox! I can't do this anymore. I'm going back to be with Panther and the rest of Star Wolf." Her words rang through his mind over and over again, each time he thought about it he died a little on the inside. A tear rolled down his cheek as he lay on his hovering Arwing.
After she left, he tried many times to contact her and apologized over and over again and begged her to come back to the team, only to have her reply, "I'm sorry Fox, but you had your chance. I'm happy here with Stat Wolf; I have moved on and you should too." But he couldn't. He hated himself for kicking her off the team, and he hated himself for hurting her and taking away the only home she knew. Ever since she left he felt like a shell of the fox he once was, all he did was eat, sleep, and train, as if he were a mindless drone. He no longer felt like the leader he once was and nothing ever happened to take is mind off his thoughts since he and his team defeated the Anglers. Even though they made more than enough money to last themselves a life time from defeating the Anglers, he still wished there was something he could to take his mind off things. Unfortunately for him, the galaxy was now at peace.
All he felt now was pain, guilt, grief, and tired. He felt so tired, tired of it all, tired of not being able to walk the streets without a mob of fans chasing him, tired of not being able to do anything useful, tired of being alone, but most of all he was tired of hurting the ones he loved.
