Forgiving You

In the isolated asteroid field Of the Sargasso region, floated the space colony also the mother ship of the infamous Star Wolf. Their Leader Wolf O Donnell clashed lasers with the famous Star Fox team with their leader James McCloud. He was victorious several times, and lost a few too but he had a grin knowing he would be king of the hill once more. The streak of his Victory stopped when Fox McCloud took over, the score built up for years and seems like his rivals were winning they knocked the king of his throne, it got him frustrated. After the previous events lead the space pirates hopeless.

He stared into the outer space tinted with orange light, he tried to distract himself as much as possible from his angry thoughts following an asteroid slowly colliding with another, the attacking rock seemed to demolish the one it had collided with, leaving it self-unharmed, It made Wolf growl clenching his fists till his claws met his skin realizing the metaphor it had projected.

"Fox! I ll...I'll.." The Wolf huffed trying to consume the oxygen to calm him down; he stomped over to the sofa and sat in it, staring into the black T.V. screen. He noticed he wasn t doing anything which made him think. He hadn't had any jobs for months now, because people would pick Star Fox over them, even the clients Star Wolf had, which seemed like a God send to them, cancelled their request to hire Star Fox instead! was it because of his bad reputation? no why did he have to have a bad reputation? He helped Andross a few times and now he was the bad guy? He just did what any other mercenary would do, do the job their client has requested.
Andross was an evil scientist trying to take over the Lylat system for god's sake of course it would be BAD. Wolf shifted in his seat snarling at the other thought in his head. They were short on money, they couldn't pay for the electricity which kept the oxygen running and the devices powered up, if they ran out, they would have no choice but to take their Wolfens and abandon their base. On the other hand they were running out of food supply. It looked like it could last them a month, He cringed and shifted again, also would satisfy Pigma. Wolf was glad they didn t have HIM anymore. He looked over to the side and locked his eye on the T.V. controller on the arm rest; he picked it up and pointed it at the T.V. pressing the button turning it on. Wolf thought a bit of T.V. would calm him down. He was watching some movie that involved space crafts and war, the leading character, a Fox was in a space fighter, it's wings were in a formation of an X, he was followed by a dark ship which had a Wolf with a black mask piloting it, he was firing at the Fox. The Fox's mission was to blow up the Wolf's mother ship which was sphere shaped, they went on the chase for a bit till a voice in the Fox's head appeared "Trust your instincts" Wolf scoffed at the familiar line and changed the channel. He was now on the news channel, a female cat was sitting behind a counter in a blue suit. Wolf's sagged expression lifted as he noticed what she was reporting. The terrorist attack Wolf was there, he stopped to listen to what she has to say. "Last week we had a terrible incident in Corneria, a group of terrorists took a large number of civilians hostage they were demanding a ransom of 50 billion credits, they stored all the hostages in a sphere which happens to be a time bomb". Wolf watched the small screen on the top right seeing multiple masked figures beside a large sphere then the camera changed angles seeing a few Arwings fly by, he was listening to his thoughts that he forgot the woman was talking. "Luckily the Star Fox team came to help, but were interrupted by the space pirates Star Wolf" Wolf winced at the name space pirates, his ears perked up listening to the woman talk again. "seems like Star Wolf was allied with the terrorists" Wolf jumped off his seat flipping the coffee table in front of him.

"Bull shit!" He yelled, he was now huffing in stress. That wasn't true, him and his team went to steal the glory this time! to be respected, to be recognized as heroes! for people to see them in a better way, he was tired of living like a villain or tired of people seeing HIM as a villain. He clenched his fists again, his claws meeting the same spots on his skin as before drawing blood out. Star Fox had to come by to ruin everything! Fox ruined his life! Wolf prepared an EMP missile in his Wolfen to stop the bomb from counting down, it wasn't for nothing!, the woman interrupted his thinking and showed a video of an Arwing firing an EMP missile at the bomb, deactivating it, and stopping it's flow of time. "Fox's clever Idea of using an EMP rocket was very helpful, and the civilians were free, thanks to our hero Fox McCloud." Wolf glared at the video with Fox's Face zoomed in by the camera. "Fox has received another medal for his heroism and bravery." Wolf watched all the people clapping happily to their hero he lowered his head gritting his teeth and looked up with angry fire in his eye. "That was supposed to be MY medal!" He rushed to the T.V. shaking it. his face met with the video of Fox smiling with Victory. Wolf felt like he was being gloated, he raised a Fist to drive it into the T.V. but he was interrupted by a voice behind him.

"Boss! We got a request!" the voice said in excitement. Wolf realized that it was Leon, the lizard gestured to come to the ship's Bridge. Wolf's face calmed and he felt a bit joyous that they finally got a mission.

When they were in the Bridge Wolf sat on the captain's chair opening the message from their client as Leon sat on another chair beside Panther who was plucking out petals from a red rose doing that thing to decide if a person loves you or not. Then a hologram of a figure appeared. The figure was tall, had broad shoulders and had a scaly face he wore a red formal suit. He brought up an arm to scratch his chin with a hand which seemed to be a claw attached to his wrist, then the figure spoke.

"Fcoujot ke mook 0ei Star Wolf. 0ei sud succ mo General Scales. A xulo u loh0 amfehkudk zer ke walo 0ei."

Wolf stood there realizing their client was talking in a different language.

"Leon turn on the Translator" Wolf pointed at the computer in front of the chameleon.

"got it Boss." he nodded and turned it on. After it was on Wolf raised a hand to stop him from talking.

"Sorry sir can you repeat everything?" the scaly man looked at Wolf confused and his face sagged he cleared his voice then started to speak.

"Pleased to meet you Star Wolf. You can call me General Scales. I have a very important job to give you." He gestured his hands in the same way re-acting everything but he sounded a bit irritated. Wolf nodded putting a hand up to his chin stroking the fur under it.

"Ok what s the job general?" Scales stopped resting his chin on the claw

"I want you to retrieve an important item from an abandoned base. located in a distant planet miles away from venom, a nocturnal planet called Nocto, its camouflaged in the blackness of space...so i'll mark it on your Map" he brought up a hologram map of Lylat marking an area unknown to Wolf's navigator. Wolf stood up to charge his blaster, he pulled out a plug from under the handle, sticking it into an outlet. The plug was an all access design so it can almost fit anywhere.

"So whats this important item you're talking about?" Wolf scratched his chin waiting for scales to reply.

"It s a rare energy cell that contains infinite energy, it can power up a base for years, it's only found in the deep parts of Venom. under the mantle exists a thin layer of energy which provide little of these cells we call it Venom Cells, people died getting this, please don't fail me." Wolf always wondered how Andross was getting so much energy that must be the reason.

"I'll be rewarding you with 40 billion...thats what i expect it to be worth...or more." The general grinned as the 3 member's jaw dropped slightly.

"Don't worry we won't fail you" (Wow thats alot) wolf thought with relief. (we can pay off everything if we got our hands on that..even our bounties.)

"Good, the base is still powered by the cells so you will see fair bit of light. use that light as a way." Wolf still had a question floating in his head and decided to ask.

"Hey...why would anyone leave such an important item?" The scaley general grinned a bit, his teeth were sharp sharper then Wolf's.

"According to recon info, there was a massacre." Wolf's eyes were calm as usual but felt a bit tense by the word massacre.

"How? I may ask?" Scales grinned a bit more as if he wanted it to be a surprise waiting for Star Wolf.

"There are creatures there, they can't die." Wolf's eyes widened to the info he was hearing.

"The people who set their base there, tried to use these creatures as defense for their base, but it back fired..one of them forgot to turn on the energy field that wards out the monsters letting them into the base. they didn't know how to kill them so it ended up killing everyone, and it was too late to send out a distress signal."

Wolf looked at the floor trying to focus his courage in one point and used his pride to strengthen it.

"Alright...we'll see what we can do, Leon, Panther get your Wolfens ready." As he was about to walk toward the door scales stopped him.

"Let me give you a bit of advice.." The lupine looked up at him raising an eyebrow.

"when you add too much air to a balloon...it pops..if you overcharge a battery it bursts" He grinned showing his sharp teeth again, amusing himself with his cheesy advice.

"Uhh..Okay..." He went to leave, setting out to do his mission.

When they arrived to the planet, they had trouble finding a landing point because of the darkness around them, but they could make out that it s mostly a forest. Wolf shone his head lights at a clearing in the middle of the forest, the huge gap was big enough to fit all of their Wolfens.

Once they landed they jumped out, turning the flashlights on their blasters. Wolf looked around, it was pitch black, the stars were the only bright thing around, he pointed his light on the ground and looked at the grass curiously, he bent down to pick out a clump, examining it in his hand, and noticed that the grass was colored black. Leon shivered as he gazed around while Panther remained calm.

Th-This place gives me the creeps! Leon cried gripping onto Wolf s arm for comfort. Wolf looked at the lizard holding his arm giving a frown of disgust. "Ugh..get off me!" He swung his arm making the Chameleon let go.

"Lets look for the base now"

They walked for hours feeling like they were walking in circles, the darkness confusing their eyes and the fear of engaging the creature haunted their minds. They stopped to take a breather from their pointless adventure.

"This is pointless!" Leon whined which Wolf found annoying, guess sitting on his ass everyday made the chameleon lazy, Wolf thought as he made an annoyed frown.

Suddenly Leon's lights started to flicker, slowly losing its light, it blacked out a few seconds later.

"Thats strange...I swore i charged this back at the ship" There was a gasp from behind him like as if someone was breathing for air. it stopped leaving the three speechless. Leon Slowly turn around seeing nothing but blackness, with his light gone he didn't know what was there. Wolf quickly pointed his lights at leon's direction. a giant figure was looking straight at the chameleon. it was huge has four arms, had eyes that looked like it hadn't seen light in ages, it's skin produces no shine when light hit it, it was as dark as this planet.

Wolf yelled "Leon run!" The lizard ran, keeping distance from the figure, his face met the ground in seconds and looked at his leg, it was wrapped with dark hands he let out a scream as it began to pull, seems like this creature can extend it's limbs. Wolf snarled swinging his bayonet at the arm, slashing it in two, The monster let out a cry that echoed through the forest regenerating it's arm.

"Boss! you...you saved me!" Leon hugged his captain's leg, but Wolf kicked him off.

"No time for chatter lets run!" Panther grunted shooting at the head, It tore off from the beam, but regenerated in seconds.

"Impossible" Panther said cursing under his breath. Then they heard the long windy gasp again, Panther's lights slowly faded, he went to shoot again but his blaster made nothing but a small spark. Wolf gestured to his team to run ahead of him, once they did Wolf fired a laser at the creature aiming it at the mouth, The black monster opened it's mouth sucking in the blaster's energy, absorbing it. Wolf growled hearing the gasp knowing it'd absorb the energy in his blaster he jumped back a few feet from the monster and noticed his lights weren't going out, still hearing the long gasp, he noted in his head.

(It has a certain range which it can absorb...) He decided to experiment with it, he stepped a bit closer then his lights faded and quickly jumped back to where he was before.

(it's range is two feet...) He kept in his mind and the monster began to walk extending a fist at him gasping, it made Wolf's blaster die out. He growled dodging the attack and ran straight to where his teammates fled. He waited for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. seeing two figures running ahead of him, then looked back seeing nothing, but knew the monster was chasing him. The two figures ahead of him stopped as he caught up.

"Damn.. it's a dead end!" Panther said clenching his fists The three quickly spun around hearing a cry from the monster, they stared into the darkness, backing up onto the dead end behind them. Was this the end of Star Wolf? Wolf thought to himself, then something clicked in his head, the feeling on his finger tips...it wasn't wood or rock...it was..metal. he started to knock on the wall behind him hearing a clang, The two beside him gasped noticing what they just backed up on.

"Th-the base!" Leon cried, Wolf gave a sigh of relief but quickly remembered that the chase hasn't ended yet. He quickly looked around trying to find an entrance or a button to open a door, but something caught his eye, It was a large pillar, he looked up using the bright stars to make out what was on the top, it was a search light..but why wasn't it on? Wolf dashed behind the pillar squinting his eye, there was a plug stuck into an outlet, he checked the wire of the plug noticing that it was torn apart, The monsters must hate light, and this might have been the light Scales said to follow, Damn these things are clever..Wolf thought in his head gathering all the info he learned about these things. They hate light..they can absorb energy when they are in two feet of the energy source..these..things can't die?.. He searched in his head for more info thinking back to what general Scales said to him.

(when you add too much air to a balloon...it pops..if you overcharge a battery it bursts)Wolf opened his eyes knowing what to do ( Thats it! That damn dinosaur knew how to kill these things! wait till i get my hands on him!) He thought in his head huffing in anger, but there was no time to lose the enemy was drawing near. he unplugged the broken plug and inserted his blaster plug into the outlet.

"Boss what are you doing?.." Ignoring Leon's voice he gathered the keywords in his head mumbling out loud, "Infinite energy, Absorb, Overcharge battery, burst". Leon gave a confused expression even though it wasn't visible.

"What?..." Leon said not knowing what Wolf was talking about. Wolf growled in annoyance turning the lights on his blaster pointing it at Panther and Leon making them squint against the light.

"I know how to kill this thing" Leon and Panther nodded and sighed in relief.

"He made sure not to overheat his weapon, pointing it at the direction of the foot steps, he turned the dial on the blaster charging a beam in the muzzle of the gun, when the monster was in sight it started to inhale the energy from the gun and the light, it faded out but regained it's power, Wolf fired the charged beam into it's mouth absorbing it, looking like it didn't budge.

"Dammit...we need more power.." Then a charged beam came from his right and entered the monster's mouth. He darted his head to the source noticing Panther had his blaster plugged into another outlet, and Leon with his on the extra outlet on top of panther's, the lupine gave a small smirk, he hadn't smiled in a long time that his cheeks were already hurting.

"Lets show this bastard not to mess with Star Wolf!" The two nodded, then they all charged their beams pointing it at the monster's mouth, it roared swinging an arm horizontally. they all ducked and fired at the same time into the monster's mouth, It absorbed it but it was too much for the creature, it started to get larger exploding into a grotesque mess.

They all gave a triumphant smile ignoring the gross black splotches on their suits.

"We did it!" Leon squealed hugging onto Wolf, Wolf gave an annoyed frown and shoved him off "Get the hell off me!"

They finally entered the base, getting used to the light.

"are any of those things in here?" Leon questioned, Wolf opened his mouth to answer him.

"I think most of them died here..They can't stand light..and the infinite energy source was too much for them" He gestured to a corpse that looked like one of them.

"They didn't die alone..they took the people in this base with them.." He looked through a hall with dead bodies scattered everywhere along with the monster's corpses.
Wolf looked at his communicator scanning the area for map details, he opened a map that labeled every room he noticed that the strongest energy level was coming from the engine room.

"Ok..Lets head to the engine room"

Once they entered their eyes widened in surprise, they pressed their backs onto the Wall outside of the engine room Wolf huffed a bit and looked down at the floor. "Fox?...Fox McCloud.. Star Fox is in there.. But how?..Don't tell me they have the same mission? Dammit! why does he always have to ruin everything?" He went to look inside the engine room seeing Fox walk up to a small container attached to a pedestal with wires everywhere, the small glass jar Contained some sort of floating yellow energy, that must be the Venom cells! Wolf pushed off the wall entering the Engine room with rage, followed by Leon and Panther on each side.

Fox and his team turned around seeing that they weren't alone.

"W-Wolf?..What are you doing here?" Wolf haven't heard the Fox's Smooth voice in a long time but was still angered by the presence of his rival, Wolf couldn't say anything he was still blinded by rage but tried to keep himself from attacking. The blue bird in the group smirked walking up.

"Lemmie guess?...Can't let you do that? Star Fox?" He chuckled teasing the Wolf, this Got The lupine more furious, he took out his blaster firing at the bird first, but he dodged giving a cocky smile.

"Panther! Leon! Lets take what was suppose to be ours!" The two nodded and dashed in for battle. Panther jumped driving his foot into the Bird's face, The falcon grunted and landed on his back, from behind Panther was a battle cry he turned around quickly dodging the kick from a blue Vixen.

"My dear Krystal...Please don't interrupt."

"Whats wrong? can't hit a girl?" The Vixen said kicking again but the cat smoothly dodges it. The bird stood up swinging a fist at the black cat, but he gracefully jumped meeting the bird's head with the end of his boots making him stagger back. The Chameleon was invisible to the toad's eyes, the Cowardly toad brought out his blaster pointing it at the air, but received a few invisible strikes to the face.

"oww! hey thats not fair you know?" The Toad cried rubbing his nose.

"Who says we had to be fair?" Said Leon's voice from behind the Toad, He spun around firing but his laser met nothing, then took another strike on the back of his head.

Fox pulled the container out of the pedestal and heard a deep voice from behind him "FOX!" Wolf Roared he dashed with amazing speed lashing out his claws, The vulpine jumped back wrapping an arm around the jar and dodged the strike feeling wind from the torn air.

"I'm...gonna kill you!" Fox was intimidated by the Wolf's fury, wondering what got him so angry. Wolf was attacking he was thinking in his head.

He has a bounty on his head because of Fox

His pride crushed because of Fox.

everyone hated him because of Fox!

They had no Jobs because of Fox!

He almost died because of Fox!

His life is a mess because of FOX!

everything was Fox's fault...even when he tried to forget, fate made him suffer.

His Claws finally met with Fox's stomach making a horizontal slash through his clothing and fur, The vulpine gave out a grunt of pain, Cringing to the swipe, Fox couldn't get a chance to attack, Wolf was too strong, fast and too determined to kill him... Fox attempted a kick but Wolf caught his leg, and shoved him down with the hand gripping his throat. The strong force on his back made him gasp for air but his wind pipe couldn't gather any. Fox was coughing and gagging desperate for air. He tried to lift an arm but Wolf pinned it down with a leg crushing the bone while his other arm is gripped by Wolf's claws, stabbing into the tissue under his skin, drawing blood, Fox was in pain but couldn't yell, his throat sore from the pressure of Wolf's fingers, The weak Fox couldn't do anything but kick with his legs, but that didn't do much, The vulpine finally gave up, staring into the Wolf's fiery eye. Wolf looked down at his rival noticing that life was slowly escaping his eyes, his face calmed, soon feeling panic run through him, he relaxed the grip on his hand waiting for Fox do do something..but there was no response..

"Fox?.." Wolf said with worry, the others stopped fighting watching the scene, The Star Fox team gasped seeing their leader on the ground.

"F-Fox?...hey..wake up.." Wolf nudged him with a paw but didn't get a response, He panicked whimpering under his breath his ears began to wilt. But he didn't want to give up. With a change of heart, he didn't want Fox to die. He had to do CPR, he bent down meeting mouths with him blowing air into his rival's mouth, he began to feel a sort of pleasure flow within him as their lips connect, he let go and pushed his chest pushing with the rhythm of his heart beat. Then suddenly he heard a cough from the Fox's mouth, he was gasping for air looking at Wolf weakly, Wolf's frown slid up into a smile and sighed in relief.

"W-Wolf?..." The Fox said weakly, getting up.

Then there was a loud boom coming from outside, the base began to shake. "w-whats happening?" Falco said to Slippy. The toad brought out his communicator looking at the status of the base.

"Uh oh...this isn't good...I think that by pulling the cells out of the pedestal caused it to disrupt the flow of energy within the base...and is imploding by the minute!" cracks began to form above Fox and Wolf, the lupine growled picking up the Fox and threw him towards his team along with the cells, he felt strong gravity pressing him downwards letting the rubble fall ontop of him.

"WOLF!" Fox tried to run to him but was stopped by Krystal.

"Fox...there's no time..." she tugged onto him towards the exit, he winced and ran out with his teammates.

Panther and Leon went over to Wolf pulling the rubble off him, when they got him out Wolf was already concious.

"Boss..lets get out of here" Wolf nodded and stood up with pain running through him, but he could bare with it. they ran through the halls and went out through where they came. Suddenly they were airborn hearing the sound of a large explosion, soon their bodies hit the dirt. they watched the base surrounded with fire. Wolf flipped out his communicator seeing the signal from their Wolfens marked on his map.

hours later back on the Sargasso station.

"Failed?..." Scales said calming himself from the eruption of anger.

"Yes...I'm sorry sir" Wolf said looking down disappointed with what he did, Why did he save Fox?...he had a chance to take the cells from him when he was lifeless..He thought for a while in his head not noticing Scales talking to him.

"Mr O'Donnell?" Wolf shot his head up at the dinosaur who was glaring at him.

"I'am very disappointed in you..I expected an Ace performance."

"I'm very sorry sir.." Wolf stopped and began to speak again.

"Team Star Fox was there..." seemed like Wolf hit a nerve seeing the General's red eyes widen.

"STAR FOX? FOX?" He growled in anger, revenge written on his face as if he had a past with Fox.

"Yeah..." Wolf said calmly. The general scoffed.

"you disgust me O'Donnell losing to that furball!" Scales turned off the communication. leaving Wolf and his team speechless Wolf sighed still staring at the ground, ashamed of what he did.

"Boss..we can't stay here..." Leon pointed at the life gauge on the wall seeing that it was on the lowest point of the bar Wolf looked at it giving a sigh, he looked at Panther and Leon and looked away.

"get your Wolfens ready..."

Once they flew, they saw the Sargasso station turn off by itself.

AN: tell me what you think about it please? ^^ review thanks
