Starfox: The Ultimate Sacrifice
Prologue
AFTER THE DEATHS of Marcus McCloud and James McCloud II, by their own father's hands, Krystal McCloud, the mother of said names and the wife of legendary Fox McCloud, decides on an extrodinary change in her life. Krystal stares at the papers layed before her on the kitchen table by the Cornerian Police. Papers that once written in, can not be changed. Divorce papers. She asks for the two officers to let her be for a while. They stand outside the house by the front door, waiting for her to finnish.
Krystal selects the finest pen, with red ink, to symbolize she has written in her son's blood, and by the hands of her husband. She cries. Tears flowing like a wild raging river. Uncontrollable, but yet, peace. The papers were stained by her tears, the ink ran and bled the papers, and yet, a piece of her, now dead. The police leave with their doccument, Krystal puts the familys house up for sale, then calls for assistance. Upon many animals, comes to help her move to Fichina. Later that night, she slipped onto the last transport headed for Fichina, knowing, everythings changed.
(Corneria Maximum Prison. April 22nd. 23:49 P.M. Tuesday. Cell 776-AJ4.)
Fox McCloud, former mercinary, former hero, former, father and husband. Lies in scilence as he watches the moon slowly move through the night sky. Can't sleep. Cause of all the inmates making noise. It's his 57th day here. He gets up, looks into the hall through the energy shield of the cell, and wonders, when he will be free, to reunite with his wife. A guard walks by, telling him to back away from the shield. As the sheild deactivates, Fox clinches his teeth. Knowing there will be another fight.
This husky in a grey suit steps infront of Fox. Pulling out a briefcase, the man opens it. He says to Fox;
Man: "What I have, is your freedom."
Fox: "My freedom, died months ago. By my own hands!"
Man: "No, Fox. Your freedom wasn't dead son, but waiting to appear. Now, it has come."
Fox: "What do you need?"
Man: "Sign these papers, and you will be free. To go back to your wife, as she paid for your paroll. 5,000,000 C."
Fox: "Five million credits, she paid that?"
Man: "With the help of the General and the President, yes she did."
Fox: "I don't trust you. This may be just a trick."
Man: "See her own handwriting Fox? She DID sign it. Now, you do the same."
Fox sighs for a bit, hesatates, then takes the pen. He signs the papers, then the man shook his hand.
Man: "Now Fox, be free."
The man then dissapeard into the main door. Fox was escorted out to the main entrance of the prison. His shakles were taken off, as inmates watch him, become a free man. Fox was then taken to General Peppy, as Peppy welcomed Fox back into service.
Fox: "It's so good, to be free again."
Peppy: "Indeed Fox. Now, I have some news for you. It's about your wife."
Fox: "Is she alright?"
Peppy: "Yes she is, but, she left you son. I have the papers here on my desk I want you to look at."
Fox says to himself, (No! This can't be! My... my life, is now, a dark storm. My only love has left me, just to die again.)
Peppy: "You alright Fox?"
Fox: "(mumbleing) No I am not. Do you know where I can find her?"
Peppy: "Fichina. She moved there Fox. But, keep your distance. I do not want you to get arrested again."
Fox: "Peppy, I wanna know. Does she still love me?"
