I'm going to hold off on my other story for right now because I can't really think of anything for a new chapter but until then this story is going to be my backup. I hope you enjoy it!
It was cold and that was all he knew for a fact. Cold and dark that is until the far off specks of light become visible in the vast emptiness that was in the very sense empty or so many might think as much.
But there was lylat and this system alone may be only a fraction of the known universe but it was not empty.
The light from solar was off of his arwing out into space. His engines had shut off hours ago leaving him to drift endlessly until he was found.
He had come near a class IV terran planet when he began to regain consciousness. He awoke to find himself staring at the black instrument panel and quickly sat up as he remembered what had happened to put him in this situation.
Three hours earlier,
The Cornerian military had hired them to patrol sector Z for any remnants of the venomian army. They were just about to finish their route through grid #13 when the Great Fox received a data link while doing a sweep of grid #27.
"Guys stop where you are, we just received an S.O.S!" "Damnit Slippy don't shout into the intercom" said Falco who up until about a minute ago had been sleeping in his arwing with the autopilot on. "Whatever, anyways I'm sending it to you now Fox." Said Slippy who seemed to be annoyed with Falco.
"Just get it to us alright, besides Falco isn't the only one here whose angry. Even Krystal has a headache and she can keep sound from reaching her ears!" Said Fox.
"And Falco, you had better get up or the next time we dock with the Great Fox I'm going to reset your arwing as well as disable the autopilot." This elicited a sharp response from Falco which came as a dull thud over the intercom as he jumped up and hit the glass with his head.
"The Transmission is coming to you now." Said Slippy.
S.O.S autostart beacon protocol 7 recording:
"This is the Cornerian naval frigate Clockwork Transmitting to all nearby friendly vessels we are currently being attacked by an enemy fleet of unknown race and origin requesting further assistance due to lack of firepower available from the escort cruiser Blue sphinx.
The cruiser, it's on fire no wait" a pause ensued for several moments before the Bobcat continued to speak. "Dear god there's nothing left the ship is gone"[large explosion in background]
" Jesus christ get it off me aahhhh!" "Get back to the medical bay the enemy has boarded the ship!" "Grenade get out of the way!" [BOOM] "You killed Wilson I'll kill you all!"
"Their firing on my position so I must end this broadcast now our current position is at-AAHHHH!" [static]
End transmission
"My god what is going on here" said Fox after a short time. Then an alarm went off in his cockpit "Warning magnetic rail cannon discharge detected in your area, Multiple missile launches detected please engage countermeasures, evasive action recommended." His radar then picked up a massive host of ships in the area. "Everybody get moving now!"
