Nightmares

Chapter 1 The Start Of It All

It was 2 years after the Aparoid invasion. Fox and the crew were just drifting in space, in the Great Fox. With nothing to do, they were as bored as hell.

"Fox! Isn't there anything to do! I'm really bored!" Falco was complaining as he was sitting on the couch, twitching at the same time.

"Feeling's mutual, birdboy."

"Fox. There's an asteroid field out there. Can we go blast the stuff?" Slippy was ready to storm out of there and jump into his Arwing.

"No! If we do that, we could end up making a mess and send asteroids to the planets! I know you're bored. I am too, but we have to wait until... until...the..." Krystal was speaking, but suddenly something came into her head.

"Until what?" Fox himself was impatient.

"Sauria..."

"Sauria? What about Sauria?" Fox perked up.

"They... need help. Someone is trying to take over the planet!" Krystal got the full message from the sender.

"Star Fox! This is General Pepper. We need your help! Sauria's energy levels are skyrocketing! We suspect more Venomian remnants are behind it." General Pepper's hologram appeared. He sped through his speech as the schedule was tight.

"Venomians? Didn't the fleet destroy them all?" Fox was surprised to find out Andross still had some troops left behind.

"We destroyed what we thought was the last of them. But, more troops were in hiding all over the galaxy. They hid in underground hideouts and bases. Join the Cornerian fleet. We will destroy the rest of those damn apes!"

"Roger! We wi-" Fox was cut off as General Pepper began to speak again.

"Hold on! Another report came in!" There was a minute of silence until Pepper began to speak again. "It seems like they already made a base-Make that took a base. They took the Cloudrunner tribe's fortress! All reports say that life energies are off the scale! They probably created another bio-weapon, so the Venomians will stop at nothing to defend it! We must breach the defenses, find and destroy that weapon, and save the planet!" General Pepper finally finished his statement.

"But, sir, what happened to the CloudRunners? Are they okay?" Fox was worried about his comrades from 3 years ago.

"We're... not sure. Sensors aren't picking up any CloudRunners throughout the-"

"Noooo! How could those damn apes do this? Those black-hearted bastards will pay!" Fox was so pissed at the Venomians for the devastation of the CloudRunners. "They were already endangered when the Aparoids attacked, but now their all gone! Their extinct!" Fox broke down in tears because, well, the memories of the CloudRunners. . . Krystal, too, broke down in tears. If it weren't for the CloudRunners, Sauria would still be in pieces, Falco wouldn't have rejoined, Fox would be a bum, and Krystal wouldn't be there.

"When. . . you. . . think about it. . . the. . . CloudRunners did. . . a lot. . . of work." Krystal said in between sobs. She was right.

"This is a crisis, team. We're on the other side of the Galaxy, and Sauria is all the way over in the in the Developing Quadrant. It would take us a day to get over there." Peppy informed everybody.

"Understood, Peppy. The Cornerian fleet will proceed forward. You can just head there straight. General Pepper out." Pepper told them as his hologram disappeared.

"Okay! Everyone, get some rest! There's gonna be a big battle tomorrow."

"Understood."

And so, everyone went into their rooms and went to sleep. But, Fox was twitching. He was having a nightmare. What the hell? He was still on the Great Fox, but they were stopped. He ran to the bridge of the Great Fox, where he met the others, and looked out the window. A huge fleet was in front of them. Though, it wasn't the whole fleet that invaded Sauria; It was much too small. The main fleet was bugger, much bigger. This fleet had only a hundred ships. The fleet is huge! If this isn't their main force, I don't think-No! That is the Demon Fleet! Yelled Peppy in the dream. Demon Fleet? What was the Demon Fleet? Just as Fox asked in the dream, he fell off his bed. There was some kind of tremor.

"What the hell?" Fox sped toward the bridge. What? Didn't this just happen? Fox remembered what happened in his dream. After a few minutes, Fox reached the bridge. There, he found his other team members, in an exhausted state considering they were just asleep.

"-Yawn- Peppy, what the freaking hell is going on?" Falco asked with a yawn. Everyone looked out the window and saw a fleet. The main fleet has 100,000+ ships. This one had only a hundred.

"Team, this is th-th-the Demon Fleet! They are skilled at flying. In fact, 30 years ago, one fighter DESTROYED ONE WHOLE CORNERIAN FLEET! And that was one of the low ranking officers of the fleet, too!" Peppy was panicking. It was a serious crisis.

"This is what happened in my dream. . ." Fox whispered to himself. Krystal looked at Fox with a worried look. She heard him whisper.

"Fox. . ."

To be Continued. . .

So, what do you think? Good, bad, fair, I need your opinion! Please leave a review! I will try to get chapter 2 up ASAP! And for those of you wondering, the Venomians are Androsses troops. At the end of SF64, when you get to the bill, it says 'Venomians destroyed'.
