Authors Notes: This is a crossover between two of my favorite SF shooters, Gradius and Star Fox. In the days of the Super NES, both series were on the same game system. Then two series went their own ways. The Gradius games went to Playstation and Star Fox games stayed on NES systems. It is a shame that a person has to buy both of these game consuls to play both of these series. Anyway this story takes place right after Gradius V and a year after Star Fox: Assault, even if Gradius V came out in 2004 and Star Fox: Assault came out in 2005. This is fiction right, so there might be a shot that these two events happen in the same time but at different places. If there are any omissions in regards to Star Fox: Command, the reason is because I haven't played that game and I won't, I don't play games on hand-held devices.
I am going to take some artist liberties with the Vic Vipers and some of the equipments that the Star Fox team use in this story, to help with the story telling, so don't get upset about it. Any Gradius fan knows that the Vic Vipers don't come with shields, it has to be earned through out the game via power ups that you get when you destroy various of enemies, without the shields, your fighter will get destroyed by anything in the game. In my story the Vic Vipers come with shields, so that they can do dogfights like the Arwings do. Also the reflector that Fox and Falco uses in the Smash Brothers series is going to be in here, yes, I know that it not from a cannon game, but I think it was cool and I not going over use it. I am not using Falco's and Fox's FoxFire attacks either, that would make them to overpowering for the story.
