Chapter 1: A nightmare becomes reality

"We meet again Fox Mcloud." Murmured a voice, Fox couldn't see anything, everything around him was deep black, and a deep mist covered the floor up to his ankles. "Wh-who is that?" Fox asked, withdrawing his blaster. "You know who I am, but we shall meet in person soon," Fox gasped as the mist started to turn a demonic red, suddenly, trickles off blood dropped down from the black enveloped sky, slowly becoming a downpour of unholy rain, "But now is not the time though!" Fox's fear turned to anger, suddenly a the mist started to form together into a strange figure of sorts, Fox couldn't make it out, but he quickly aimed his blaster at the creature. "What are you talking about! " He fired his blaster at the creature, "when the time comes, you will be begging for a quick death! Your mind, body and soul will be crushed! Yet I will not be so merciful as to grant you such an easy exit!" Fox suddenly felt an overwhelming amount of pain, his heart seized up, and his head suddenly felt like it was being slowly scraped apart, yet this was nothing compared to the emotional anguish he felt inside. He was terrified, yet he had little to fear. He was distraught, yet he had nothing to grieve. He was furious, but there was little to be hateful for, all except that figure that is, but the hate inside Fox's soul was too much for him to bare. The figure slowly began to fade away, cackling. "Wait! Who- or what are you!? Why are you doing this!?"

"When the time comes Fox Mcloud! Only then will you learn the sordid truth! When the time comes."

Suddenly, Fox woke up. This was the third time he had this dream, and he was beginning to believe that it was much more then just mere coincidence. "What are you thinking Fox!? Get it out of your head! You can't seriously believe that this means something?" Fox reassured himself. Fox let it go over his head this time, and pinned it on stress, after all, the calls from general pepper had been getting much more frequent, and the Starfox team had been pressured to the bone trying to sort out all the problems, although many of them were small things, like low-time terrorists. He stepped onto the main deck off the great fox.

"What's up guys? Fox asked, sitting on the pilot seat. "Nothing much Fox" Replied Peppy, drinking a mug of coffee. "Where's Falco?" Asked Fox, looking around. "Probably still in bed, I don't blame him, there late night/ Early morning days are killing me!" Fox nodded, "Tell me about it! That reminds me, I need some coffee myself!" Fox headed towards the coffee vendor, "Hey Slippy! What do you want?" Slippy shook his head, "None for me! I'm too busy working on Rob, this keeps me awake"

"Fair enough." Said Fox, pouring a cup of coffee. As he walked back to the pilot seat, he switched on the jukebox, "Here it comes" sighed Peppy, "Hey, I thought you were tired! This should keep you awake." Retorted Fox. Suddenly Falco marched into the main "Can you turn that thing down! I'm trying to get some sleep!" Suddenly, Slippy leaped up, "All finished, I've added a new database onto Robs memory!" Rob stood up "Affirmative. Thank you Slippy." He replied. Falco walked over to the jukebox, and switched it off. "Hey!" Yelled Fox. Just then Rob spoke. "Incoming message from general Pepper!" Fox groaned, "not another one! I was hoping for a rest today! Ah well, lets see it."

However, the message that came up was something they would have never expected

"STARFOX" Yelled Pepper, somewhat distraught, "There's been a murder! Not just any murder either! Someone, or something. Has smashed apart Coneria HQ. And ripped countless soldiers to shreds! It's just. horrible, it's almost like, they did it for fun....There's a sick person out there, it must be brought to justice! But watch out! This if this thing can do so much to a group of soldiers, then you must be extra cautious! Head to Coneria HQ immediately! Pepper out!"

The teams faces turned to disgust, "I can't believe, it. it couldn't be" Fox was beginning to wonder just how authentic that nightmare was.
