Disclaimer: I do not own StarFox, if I didI would be rich. Also this is my first fiction so be nice please.
It has been three years since the aparoid invasion and Corneria had moved back to status quo. The hero of the system, Fox McCloud, had become an icon. So when he called a press conference most of Corneria city turned out to hear it. On the steps to the rebuild city hall Fox and his team sat with several Cornerian senators under the hot sun as the crowds gathered. Fox was scheduled to speak last so he settled in for a long and boring day.
"Cheer up Fox," said a blue vixen in a military dress uniform, "we have such good news to tell." The vixen then gave her stomach a light pat.
"I guess so Krystal, but you know how much I hate these things." Fox replied tugging slightly at his dress uniform's collar. "I swear if Pepper ropes me into another conference like this again I'll I'll, I don't know but I'll do something."
Krystal laughed softly at her mate complaining and whispered in his ear, "just keep your temper now and tonight I will make it up to you."
Fox looked at his mate and gave a dirty smile, "alright dear."
In the crowed a gray wolf eyed the two foxes and turned to leave the crowed. "Some heroes," the wolf thought, "my team helps them win and what thanks do we get, nothing." Then something catches his eye. A small glint of light coming off a nearby building, with his eye patch the wolf zooms in to take a closer look. He sees a sniper. Realizing the threat the wolf begins to run to the building.
Meanwhile on the roof.
The sniper lines up the high-powered blaster rife and places a wavering finger near the trigger. An obvious battle is waging in the snipers mind.
What are you waiting for you wretched creature?
Get out of my mind.
Fool you are mine now and you will do what I say!
Never.
Pull the trigger or have you forgotten what these furs have done to your kind.
No but we deserved it.
Did you now, how did you deserve it, well tell me.
We created them, and then enslaved them; they had a right to rebel.
Foolish human they were your creations just experiments. They were to do your bidding like you are to do mine.
No. Please no just get out of my mind.
The snipers finger moves a hair toward the trigger.
I will never leave your mind with you I will rebuild the aparoid armada.
Why do you need me then?
Fool, your ignorance astounds me. The old queen realized that the fox would kill her. So she implanted me in the only remaining human, that's you, for you see with your body I can create another queen and then assimilate the entire universe.
The sniper then broke into maniacal laughter, as the battle in his mind seemed won. But with a focused effort the sniper jerked away from the rife and ran/stumbled toward the door at the center of the roof. As he neared the door it burst open revealing a tall wolf with blaster in hand.
"Wolf O'Donnell," the sniper cried
"No one kills McCloud but me understand," with that Wolf pulled the blasters trigger.
Pain erupted in the human's chest as white-hot agony raced through every nerve. With a small grunt he collapsed to the floor.
"Now I won't let such a perfect opportunity for revenge pass me up," Wolf laughed as he dropped his blaster and moved to take the humans old position on the sniper rife. But unknown to Wolf the wound he gave the human that should have killed him did not. With failing strength the human crawled to the fallen blaster and switched the setting to stun as he aimed for the wolf who was lining up his shot. With fading vision and an unsteady hand he pulled the trigger. When the beam hit the wolf he jerked and pulled the trigger.
Back on the ground.
Fox was bored out of his skull at the speeches of the senators on some sort of plan for the rebuilding of Venom, so he began to let his mind wander when his ears, trained by years as a mercenary, picked up the faint sound of blaster fire. Quickly gazing at nearby rooftops he realized he was to late as another blaster shot range out and the deafening sound of a high-powered blaster rife went off. Diving for Krystal he felt the wind from the beam knock him down as the round tore into the seat he had just occupied. Black-clad security swarmed over the senators and Fox and hurried them t safety. Fox arguing with security managed to tell them where the shot had come from. As soon as the information left his muzzle the guards scrambled off to the roof. The crowed by then had turned into a mob and was fleeing in every direction. In all the chaos Fox was sure the shooter would get away.
One week later at Corneria general hospital. Fox meet with General Pepper.
"So Pepper he's still in a coma," Fox asked.
"Yes, but I have worse news," Pepper relied solemnly, "after the doctors repaired the damage caused by the blaster they took a blood sample, here take a look."
Fox looked over several complicated charts and graphs for a few minutes not really understanding a work of it before asking, "so what does it all mean Pepper."
"Well for one we believe him to be human," said Pepper regarding Fox solemnly.
"Nice joke Pepper, but humans have been extinct for a few hundred years at least." Fox said laughing.
"This is no joke Fox, the test prove without a doubt that the boy is a human," said Pepper, "but that is not the worst news."
"What having a creature that should be bones by now save my life, what is worse than that," Fox said sarcastically.
"In his blood he is carrying aparoid eggs," said Pepper softly.
"What"! Fox exploded, "How is that even possible,"
"When the doctors discovered this they did a full body scan. In his frontal lobes he has what appears to be a fledgling aparoid queen, the rest of the eggs are dormant but if that queen matures we could be in serious trouble."
"So what do we do Pepper"?
"We have no choice for they safety of the system the human must die."
"Can't we save him some how, can the queen egg be removed."
"I'm sorry Fox, but we already looked into that. If we even try to remove it then it will kill him."
Suddenly a loud crash was heard in the distance and alarms began to flare wildly. "Pepper," Fox hollered, "What's going on." Then Peppers radio sprang to life. And a scratchy voice came through. "The human is awake, send reinforcements now" was all that came through before it went dead. "Fox," Pepper cried, "we have to get to that room."
"I'm on it general."
A few minutes earlier.
The human was lying strapped to a plain white hospital bed. The low buzz of the vital sign monitors offered an atmosphere of hopelessness. Suddenly the human began to twitch on the hospital bed. Within his mind a battle once again began to rage.
Fool you let us get caught.
If you hadn't tied to kill that fox we wouldn't be in this mess now would we.
Don't place the blame on me little human remember I still control you.
Yea sure, you did a great job controlling me back on the building.
I was distracted, that's all.
Whatever, so how do we get out of this predicament?
Give me full control and I will free us.
No way.
Do you have any suggestions on escape?
No.
Then give me control.
Promise not to hurt anyone.
And why should I…
Do it.
Fine I promise not to harm anyone.
Here.
The human's body suddenly relaxed and all off the monitors went dead. The doctors rushed in to revive the human. But when they neared the bed. The human suddenly convulsed. The doctors perplexed took a step back. Then a feral scream tore from the human's mouth as he strained against his bonds. The doctors grabbed several tranquillizes and attempted to quiet the struggling human. But before the doctors could inject him the bonds holding the human burst as the human leapt from the bed and began to destroy the room. As the doctors retreated from the room several security guards hurried in a tried to tackle the rampaging human, but the human shook them off as if they were twigs and slammed them into the wall. One guard who held on to consciousness contacted general Pepper. Realizing what the guard was doing the human converged on him delivered him to unconsciousness. As the human headed toward the window Fox burst through the door, see what destruction the human had wrought he drew his blaster and took aim. Seeing the treat the human turned and jumped trough the window. Fox ran to the window gazed out in horror as he watched the human drop 18 floors.
In the human's brain.
What was that?
Shut up human.
What about not hurting anyone?
They aren't hurt, permanently.
Oh and by the way how do we survive this fall?
Shut up.
The arguing was broke up as they neared the pavement and took the full force of the landing on one leg. With a sickening snap, every bone in their leg shattered. They grimaced as pain flowed through every nerve and they staggered on one leg.
We'll that worked out great.
One moment human.
Fox watched as the human landed and cringed at the sound of the impact. Then he watched as the human limped over to a nearby hover car and place his hand on it. What is he doing, Fox thought? Then a bright light enveloped the car and the humans shattered leg went ridged. Fox just watched in amazement as the car dissolved and the light moved to the human's leg and then in a flash it was in metal. Fox recovering from what he just witnessed took aim with his blaster and prepared to fire. When he had the human in his sights, he hesitated. The human realizing the danger took off toward the center of the road and opened the entrance to the sewer. My life for yours, but just this once huma—no aparoid, Fox thought as he turned and headed back to where he left Pepper.
