Author's Notes: Hello again , I think I need to restart my project. So, I renamed it to "Ashes of His Will" instead of "Fleet Command and Ashes of His Will". I think the other prologue was just to long and to boring. So, I now present to you the Prologue of "Ashes of His Will".

3 Years ago...

Over the Jungles of Sauira....

"GO"! "GO"! "GO"!

"WE CAN"T HOLD TH ....",

"GET THAT TANK OPERATIONAL NOW!"

"Iron Troop moving to intercept hostilities"

"Retreating to LZ Echo....",

"I NEED THAT AMMO NOW, DAM IT"!

" Bull Dog 2 and 9 are down", "No ejection was..."

"FALL BACK!", FALL BACK!"

"Sir, LZ's Echo and Foxtrot are about to collapse"

"What is the status on the Temple?", said fox despite the speractic communcations.

"Sir, we lost contact with the temple five minutes ago.", said the voice from his headset."

Before, Fox could reply all communcations suddenly went dead and were replaced by one voice.

"Attention, to all Corneria Coalition Forces ,this is General Pepper , I have given the order to retreat."

The word seemed to make everything stop in his arwing and he felt a chill come over him. "This can't he happening.." said, Fox has he could do nothing but listen to the general.

"All pilots must regroup with the fleet , NOW!." "While, we can still hold in orbit...I'm sorry but there is no time to pick up survivors."

Fox looked out of his cockpit at the inferno the Jungle had become.

As the General had finished, the transports at LZ victor began to take off. The sight disgusted Fox as he could see soilders dropping thier weapons and running to the transports as they took to the skies. Some of the soilders were grabbing onto the transports in an attempt to save themselves from the carnage.

Fox felt angry and pain as his arwing flew above the chaos of the , He couldn't think about the soilders right now.

"Katt what is happening at the temple?", said the yellow vulpine in desperation.

"Fox...the temple is being overrun, I'm going in for a closer look.."

Fox didn't wait for her to finish as the arwing's afterburners went full. The arwing roared as it flew over the jungle's canopy.

"No...please be alright...", the vulpine said, as his arwing rushed towards the could just make out the structure over the horzion.

"FOX HELP ME!", Krystal screamed over Fox's headset.

"Krystal!", "Where are you!", Fox yelled into his microphone.

"We're pinned at the Temple's courtyard." They're comming!".

"Katt!" Fox said, "Can you get to her!"

"Yea, I'm right over the courtyard and I'm comming down", replied Katt.

"Krystal this bird can only hold two so, your dino buddies can't come along." said Katt to Krystal over the com channel.

"Katt, Falco went down over by the relic" said krystal.

"WHAT?" both animals replied.

There was a short pause before the fox heard..."Fox, I'm sorry but I can't leave him..."

"NO!" Fox, screamed. "He can handle himself." "Get Krystal out of there, NOW"!

"I can't let those devils get to him!"

"GET HER OUT OF THERE!" Replied Fox.

"I'm...sorry....Fox", said Katt as Fox could hear her crying.

"KATT?" What are you doing?" COME BACK!", said Krystal.

"SAVE HER!" Fox screamed....

"SAVE HER!" "SAVE HER!", Fox continued to scream as he started to lose control of himself.

"Fox, they are all around me!"

"Hang on, I'm comming!" Said, Fox as he looked out at the temple in the distance.....Knowing it would take more then twenty-five mintues to get there.

"FOX HELP ME!"

"FOX SAVE ME!"

"SAVE ME!"

"NO!, PLEASE NOT THE FIRE"!

"FOX....!"

"KRYSTAL!" Screamed Fox, over her cries for help

Then all was silent.

The Present ; Somewhere aboard the BattleCarrier Tagos

"Krystal!". Screamed the fox as he was jolted awake.

Fox staired out of the window of his bedroom and into space.

"Why couldn't I save her ?" , said the fox to himself as he kept his eyes on the stars.

He was on the verge of tears when, he heard his door open.

"Sir, are you alright?" Said, the worried female vulpine who had let herself into his bedroom.

"Yea, I'm all right Captain..." Replied Fox as he tried to rub sleep out of his eyes.

"Sir, shall I get you something to drink?"

"That will not be necessary, Captain Phoenix." Said, Fox in a cold and stern voice.

The 25 year old vulpine didn't say a word as she let herself out. Afraid the Fox would hear the pain in her voice.

"What was she doing near my room anyway?" Thought Fox, as he lifted himself out of his bed and into his bathroom.

Fox glanced at himself in the mirrior. His green eyes had bags under them and he could see his scar running across his face.

Fox hated and loved that scar ; it reminded him on who had murdered her.....his fiance.

With this in his mind ; the fox prepared for a shower.

Before he could even start the warm water there, was a lound "Beep" from the phone in his room.

"Dam it!", he said as he walked over to pick it up.

"Yes, Captain?" Said, Fox.

Sir, General Pepper has requested to you speak with you.

"Fine, switch him to the my com screen" Replied, the Fox.

"Yes Sir, switching him to your com channel".

Fox, looked up at the screen on the wall of his room, as it came to life.

Fox could was surprised not to see him in his uniform ; instead the houndog had on a black shirt and brown pants ,(very unusual, not only for the most powerful General in Corneria, but Fox could not even recall one moment where he had seen Pepper out of his military uniform.

Pepper had always seemed to have a command presence about him and , Fox was more then disturbed to see the General looking haggard and his face full of exhaustion. Fox could tell that Pepper had not been asleep for days.

"Fox..." The general said, " I know we have not been on good terms ...but I need your...."

"Help?" Fox said, as he smirked at the general.

The General looked at Fox with his eyes as they started to water...

"Fox, I know your still angry with me however,...."

"Angry with you?" "Me?" Said, Fox as he started to form an evil smile.

"Fox...", said the General with a tone of regret.

"You didn't help her when she begged you to". Fox said, with his fist's clenched firmly in his hands.

" I couldn't do anything ; just like you couldn't either..."

At that moment Fox grabbed his pistol ,that was on his desk, and threw it into the vid-screen.

The vid-screen shattered into pieces as it hit the floor while, emitting sparks of electricity.

"Bastard!" Screamed, Fox at the fragments of glass and metal which were now only black.

"Fox,?!" Fara shouted as Fox went back into his bathroom.

Fox, could still hear Fara's voice as she pounded on his door trying to get a response.

"Wonder when she'll quiet?" Fox said, to himself as he sat alone in his bathroom.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the Fox got out of the shower and started to put on his Uniform with its medals and awards ; he could no longer hear Fara.

"Good, maybe now she will give me some space." Fox, remarked.

He looked at the clock beside his bed. "5:30 already ,Uh?". The Fox clicked the control panel and stepped out into the hallway.

The Hallway was comprised of just five doors to the right and only had one door on the left.

Fox walked over to door on the left and walked onto the bridge.

"Attention on Deck!" "Commander Mcloud is Present!" Said, the robotic voice of ROB 84 as Fox's foot hit the floor.

However, there was only one person besides Rob who was on the Bridge of the Tagos. She meet his eyes and was about to speak before Fox interrupted her...

"Where is the crew?"

Fara, hesitated before saying ," They went to go see General Pepper.."

"You did what?!" Shouted Fox as he moved towards her.

She was terrified as Fox advanced at her with his fists clenched.

"You let him on to my ship without even telling me!?"

"You don't understand.." Fara sputtered before Fox came within five feet of her.

"On the contrary, I think I do understand." Replied, Fox.

"Yo..u.... do?" She said, as she started to shake.

"Of course", said Fox as he pulled out his pistol from its holder.

"What are you doing...?"

Fox had never seen Fara so afraid in his life.... and he was enjoying it....

Fox amied the pistol stright at her head.

"Setting an example." Said, Fox with a grin on his face.

"FOX!"

Fox had heard the other voice and was so surprised by it that his finger accidentally pulled the trigger....
