Long awaited (I think) Sequel to Star Fox: Aparoid Chronicles. Though this story does focus on a OC, I am going to make sure it stays a 'Star Fox' story, so bear with me xD

I could remember everything. The way Corneria looked, smelt, felt. The way the military ships flew above me as I walked to school. I remembered what today was... and I questioned why I was brought back here. Everything that was set into motion for this one act, had been done for a reason. I was to forget a military life and set off on my own adventures, it was how I got here. So why send me back to what started it all? Was I not supposed to become what I was? Or was there something else hidden within this day that I had to correct.

"You ever going to stop staring at the sky?" Marcus grumbled, pulling Tyronos out of his thoughts. He looked over at the younger vulpine.

"Look." Tyronos pointed towards the sky, making sure Marcus looked up. "In about four minutes the Great Fox, and I mean the original one, will fly over us. This is the day that Star Fox comes back with news of victory over Andross." Marcus' face lit up at the sound of seeing his father again.

"Well, why are we still standing here? Let's go!" Marcus yelled, he was about to run towards the Military HQ when he was stopped by Tyronos. "Come on, we're wasting time."

"Listen up." Tyronos snapped. "You aren't even supposed to be an idea in Fox's mind yet. If you tell him who you are, everything as we know it will be changed. We were sent here to fix something, and as long as it doesn't involve Star Fox you can help me."

"But you said you never knew what you had to fix in these I.P.T.T.s how the hell can you assume that it doesn't involve my dad?" Marcus tried to break free of Tyronos's grasp but couldn't.

"I didn't assume anything kid, and if we have to rescue your old man then so be it." Tyronos let go of Marcus and sighed. "Just promise me this. If we do have to help Star Fox out at any point before you are born, you will not tell anyone you know who you are."

Marcus growled. "You want me to deny any form or relations with the only people I loved?"

Tyronos nodded. "I never said this was going to be easy. If it's any consolation, the only person alive that I loved is trying to kill me. So go ahead and rub that in whenever you're feeling down."

"That won't make them happy, they raised me to be kind to others." Marcus muttered.

"Says the kid that tied me up and had me at gunpoint?" Tyronos laughed, patting Marcus on the shoulder. "Let's get moving. I got a feeling that wherever we need to be isn't here."

Marcus began to follow Tyronos into an older version of Corneria. To him the layout would be familiar, but everything would be relics. Before his vision was interrupted by the skyscrapers, Marcus looked up once more. He smiled as he saw the Great Fox in the distance, atleast at this time, his dad was alive. "Hey how do you know what we need to do isn't here?"

"Kojic hasn't tried to kill me yet."

Marcus looked in awe at downtown Corneria. He had never seen it with such emotion. Nearly everyone there was celebrating, more so once the Great Fox had flown overhead. He kept up to Tyronos, if but barely. He seemed to know where he was going. "Wait up Ty!" he called.

"Sorry. It's just we need to get to the academy, I have to make sure of something." Tyronos grabbed Marcus and used him as a battering ram. "Just keep your hands out straight and look forward."

People moved out of the way as the two vulpine made their way through the crowds. Marcus grew uneasy at all the stares he received.

"He looks familiar."

"A spitting image of Fox McCloud!"

"Why is his fur blue? Did he dye it?"

Tyronos patted Marcus' shoulder. "Why are they all staring at me?"

"It's expected. First off, you look like your father. Secondly, you've got blue fur. That's not normal for a fox. These people don't know anything about Krystal yet, that is still a good seven years away. Oh, and were pushing our way through a crowd without muttering even the slightest apology."

"Is this something we'll get used to?" Marcus asked, hazarding a look at Tyronos. He saw him nod quickly before changing direction towards the academy. They moved steadily through the crowds until they were finally in the academy.

"You can put your arms down now." Tyronos said before he seemed to get lost within his memories again. "Exactly how I remember it. This is the day that he died."

"Who?"

"The same person who is coming after us. Kojic died today, and his spirit was tormented to a point where it would do anything to stop the pain." Tyronos shut his eyes and continued. "There was a time during this torment that Kojic's being split into two parts, his enlightened side, the one that has helped me along with Zarah. Then there is the damned side, the one that has been hell bent on killing me."

"Why does he want to kill you so much?" Marcus asked walking slowly towards the older vulpine. "He doesn't sound like someone who would go out of his way to kill you."

"It's because I brought Zarah into a time tear with me, and becoming a Renegade of Time. I've pushed and fought against time's flow, trying to fix my past into something I could live with. Turns out that I've just caused more pain." Tyronos opened his eyes again, quickly walking towards his old classroom. "Working with Star Fox caused me to realise how hopeless the situation really was. Kojic is too strong for me to bring down myself. The only way for this to end, is to let him win."

"No!" Marcus yelled. Tyronos shushed him and motioned him to follow. "You can't let him win, not now. We need to save my parents!"

"I already said we would. I owe them that much." Tyronos stopped as he saw the window in the door to his old classroom. "They should be arriving in a few minutes."

"Who?" Marcus looked around the empty hallway. "And why?"

"I see you weren't paying attention to my tale until your parents were involved." Tyronos grinned. "General Pepper. He's coming with a flag and a salute." They waited in silence before they heard the herald of boots parading on the cement floor. "Shit."

"What?"

"Well we're going to look really suspicious standing outside of a classroom, considering I look old enough to be a Instructor." Tyronos swore again, thinking of something to do. "Alright, when Pepper is in view we're going to pretend to be touring this level for you."

"What?" Marcus looked at him quizzically. "A tour?"

"You'll have to be the new student, and I'll be giving you a tour of the premises." Tyronos got a nod out of Marcus before continuing to wait for Pepper to show up. As they rounded the corner, Tyronos quickly turned around, pointing towards the next classroom. "Play along." He whispered.

Marcus sighed. "And what's in this classroom?" The question had gotten Pepper's attention, he figured everyone would be in class by now.

"This is another Flight simulator classroom. The difference being this one is more advanced." Tyronos conituned explaining while quickly looking back at Pepper, he noticed one of his officers coming towards him, and turned to face him. "Can I help you?"

"We're looking for a vulpine by the name of Tyronos. Do you know what class he is in?" Tyronos smiled and pointed to the room that Pepper was beside. "Thanks!"

"We need to get out of here now." Tyronos whispered to Marcus. "When I say so, we'll make a break for the door we came in at." Once Tyronos saw Pepper give the flag to his younger self he knew it was time. "Go, now!"

Marcus led the way as they raced out of the academy. Pushing past a few people outside, stopping once he reached a small bench. He sat down as he panted for breath, it was clear that he would need to get back into shape if he was going to survive. Once he looked back up Marcus finally noticed that Tyronos was not with him. 'The hell did he end up at?'

"It's Star Fox!"

Marcus looked over at the gathering crowd. The chance of seeing his father destroyed any rules Tyronos had put into place for him. "DAD!" He cried out as he saw a much younger looking Fox McCloud. He pushed and shoved his way to the front of the crowd, watching as the team was escorted towards the Military HQ.

"Why not go say hello to your father?"

Marcus turned around to see another vulpine standing behind him, it only took him a second to realise the evil behind those eyes. "Kojic!"

"You want to see your parents again don't you?" Kojic laughed, his smirk sending chills down Marcus' spine. "Allow me to assist you!"

Marcus put his hands in front of his face, in a attempt to block whatever Kojic had planned for him.

"How many fucking times do I have to tell you Kojic." Tyronos snarled standing in front of Marcus. "Your fight is with me, and me alone."

"Ah but did you not break the same rule with this one?" Kojic smiled at his grandson. "Besides, it wouldn't be the first McCloud you failed to save."

"Fuck you old man." Tyronos spat. "You are breaking the very rules you swore to uphold. While I am in a time tear you cannot interfere."

"True." Kojic nodded. "But rules, as you know are meant to be broken, and the day I sent you that message I knew you had broken them already. So as long as we're breaking all breaking rules here why stop?"

"Don't I get a say in this?" Marcus asked. The other vulpines both turned to look at him. "The entire population of Corneria city stopped moving but us three, can someone tell me what the fuck is going on?"

"You haven't told him?" Kojic began to laugh again. "Your continued punishments on yourself are beyond what damage I could hope to place on you. I'll leave for now, but, I will end your life when I see you next."

"You just keep on telling yourself that." Tyronos turned around, pulling Marcus along with him. "I'll explain when we are safe."

"Seriously, what the fuck just happened?" Marcus yelled as he watch the townsfolk begin to move as if nothing happened.

"Look, Kojic is breaking the rules. He's just put a time freeze on this city, and that is something my old tribe was meant to do. Even then it was considered an attack on time itself." Tyronos explained getting them closer to the Military HQ building. "I really can't say more right now. Please, just trust me."

"Can you promise me that you won't let another McCloud die?" Marcus looked back to the gray fox.

"I wish I could."

And there we have it, yet another project for me to work on! Please R&R!
