Hey there everyone and welcome to this little series I had come up with. Now this is merely the Start of what I have in mind and I do apologise for me being nearly late for this upload as I've gotten sick so I'm not feeling the best right now. However I'm not dying don't worry, but I'm still sick in the morning I might take the next upload cycle off to get better.
Anyway I hope you you enjoy the little teaser I've set up for what's to come.
Stars Align Season 1-Star Fox
Prologue
If someone were to say to me that life is full of mysteries, I'm inclined to agree…but it's also full of bullshit and just makes people's lives miserable. And I was the poor sap that life was shitting on, how you may ask? Well let's just say that I had gotten a full detention for something that was a complete misunderstanding and now I was paying for it. I won't bore ya with the details but I'll just cut to the chase, basically I was on my way to 5th and last period where someone from my English class was getting picked on so I stepped in and tossed the asshole into a wall breaking it up. However the teacher saw only that part of it and that part only and I was currently sitting in the principal's office due him wanting to be seen personally.
He had walked in and sat at his desk and sighed.
"Wade. There are other ways you could've dealt with the situation". He said to me.
Oh yea…my names Wade Peirce in case you didn't know.
"C'mon sir the guy has been harassing other students including myself ever since he got to the school. I'm just showing him that he's all bark and no bite". I shrugged with little care. "Besides this isn't the first time I've had to step in, and I don't see any other faculty members stopping this from happening". I pointed out.
"Wade, you going to be graduating next year. How would your father feel if he found out about this?" He asked me.
"If he drops by I'll ask him myself". I answered with a shrug which made him sigh again.
"Wade, you're on your second strike now and I don't want to have to expel you due to this behaviour. However after the 2 weeks I want you to be at my office first thing you get to school". He said.
"So I'm getting punished for something that the faculty failed to see the full extent of…fucking perfect". I said that last part under my breath as we then heard the bell ring signalling the end of school for 2 weeks. At least I got a fortnight to myself and not school.
"You're fee to go Wade". He said as I got my bag and began to walk out of the office and out of the school grounds towards my car which was a Toyota Rav-4. I got inside ad began driving home and forgetting about what had happened back at the school. It wasn't my fault the guy was about to get what's coming to him for him thinking he was the top dog around, and me just putting him in his place like the asshole he is.
"I wish life would just throw me a bone. What do I have to do to have a change of pace huh?" I asked myself and shook my head at my realisation. "And I'm talking to myself about the issue. Great". I deadpanned to myself as I then focused on simply getting home.
I had walked inside my house to find a note on the kitchen bench and saw that Mum had to be called back to work meaning she won't be home in a week which made me shake my head and sigh. Mum was always working her ass off and which is a real bummer that she could never spend too much time home which was sad but I know she loves me, shame she could never catch a break for very long. I put my bag and my stuff away and sat down on the couch in exhaustion, I then glanced under the TV and noticed my Nintendo 64 next to my Xbox one and smiled.
"Well a little bit of retro gaming never hurt anyone". I smiled as I walked over and put in Lylat Wars or Star Fox 64 as it was called in the states and finally managed to boot up the game since this console is considered a dinosaur in this day and age but I'm still surprised it still works. Star Fox was one of the first games I had ever played in my life which I still to this day I will always treasure, I may not have played all the other Star Fox Games it still holds a special place in my heart. When Starlink Battle for Atlas came out I was excited, but when they added in Star Fox to the game for the Nintendo Switch version…why wouldn't I get it?
Anyway I had just finished sector Y and have the choice of either continue to Aquos, or I can head towards Katina in meet Bill who is there. 'Decisions, decisions' I thought to myself as I then remembered the tedious water level that is Aquos, granted I didn't mind the level but with the amount of projectiles that you need to dodge was insane and would end up losing several lives if you weren't careful and I really wasn't in the mood to be target practice for the AI, so I decided to switch the route to Katina. As the mission started up I then heard my phone going off with the familiar sound of its ringtone being the classic DOOM theme, I picked up my phone and saw it was Mum and I answered it.
"Hey Mum". I greeted.
"Wade have you heard what's going on the news?" She asked me making me raise a brow. I then paused the game and switched to the TV and saw the report.
"NASA has reported that an abnormal anomaly just behind the moon itself, it is unclear what has caused but scientists have confirmed it isn't a black hole. We will update you on any future events". I read aloud as the report was on the screen. "What the hell is going on?"
"I'm not sure but I was just calling in to check on you. I only just heard about the report not too long ago, listen I'm going to be a day or two late getting home". She said which made me shake my head.
"Ok then Mum…I love you". I said to her.
"Love you more, Bye".
"Bye". I then hung up and sighed in defeat since Mum's work is keeping her from catching a break at home. It's never easy providing for the family huh? I then looked back at the TV and shook my head and changed it back to my game. "Now…where were we". I exhaled as I then went back to playing. I could use a good distraction right about now.
Night had come and I had just put the dishes away after having my dinner and decided to call it a day and went to my room and then turned on the light. I then looked down at my feet to my prosthetics and took them off, something I always do when I go to bed every night. As to what happened to my original legs is that they needed to be amputated after a car crash I had gotten into 2 years ago when a speeding driver rammed into me and crippled my lower legs.
The driver was charged appropriately and I came out of the collision mostly in tact…keyword on mostly. But aside from that, with my lower legs being replaced with prosthetics isn't so bad. Well, tell a lie it's definatly different from having my old ones but at least these ones can spring me forward faster when I'm running so that's a plus. However I laid in bed and just stared at the ceiling in deep thought as how my life's going at the moment.
Mum's caught at work.
Supposed to be at detention when the 2 week holiday is over.
And finally life just throws me the short end of the stick. So yea it's just swell.
However dismissing all of those thoughts, I pulled the blanket over myself and let sleep take me. However little did I know at the time, that my life was about to go in a whole other direction.
There we have it a little teaser to get things started. Now where In star Fox this will take place will be revealed in the next chapter, But other than that I hope you enjoyed a little taste of what's to come and be sure to leave me your thoughts in the review section. A bit of feedback can go a long way. So until then I'll see ya next time!
Cronus Prime Out!
