Star Fox: The new Recruit
By Jack Stryker
Prologue
Wolf O'Donnell stood in front of the crashed Wolfen IIIs with his smoking blaster in hand. His wingmen were dead and he was the one who killed them.
Wolf had realized that he had taken the wrong path, by following Andross and obeying his orders. He had realized that hunting down Fox and his friends only got him in further trouble and almost got him killed. Wolf's wingmen wanted nothing more than revenge on Fox, but Wolf just wanted to get away from his tortured past. He knew that his wingmen would hunt him down if he had just left them, so he decided to set them up.
He told them that they were going to attack Corneria and lure the Star Fox team to them. Before they left for Corneria, Wolf planted a C4 detonator on each of their ships. Upon their arrival, he set off the charges and crippled his wingmen's ships. Then he shot them down one by one. Just to make sure they were dead, Wolf landed where his wingmen had crashed. Pigma was lying dead in his cockpit and Leon appeared to be lying motionless on the ground near his downed ship. Andrew was the only one who appeared to be alive, until Wolf drew his blaster and shot him in the head.
After looking at the bodies for a few seconds, he holstered his blaster.
"Sorry I had to do that, boys," he said, "but it was for my own good."

General Pepper hummed as he checked off a few applicants from some more would-be Cornerian recruits, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he noticed an envelope being pushed under the door. As he put his pen down and got up to retrieve the letter, he thought he heard someone moving through the hallway. He opened the door and looked around, but found nobody in sight. Shrugging, he picked up the envelope and looked at it. It was addressed to him and was from Wolf O'Donnell.
"Oh, no." he said, "This isn't a death threat, is it?"
Pepper opened the envelope and read the letter inside. He was astonished by what was written. What was even more surprising to him, however, was the pictures that were included.
"I don't believe this!" he said.
A few minutes later, while Pepper was still looking at the pictures, there was a knock on his door.
"Come in." he said.
The door opened, and a Cornerian army medic came into the office. His name was Kyle Wolfowitz and he was a black wolf. He was 23 years old and spent several years in the Cornerian military. He saluted Pepper, who saluted back.
"You wanted to see me, sir?" Kyle asked.
"Yes, Wolfowitz." said Pepper, "Please, take a seat."
Kyle sat down.
"You've heard of the Star Fox team, haven't you?" Pepper asked.
"Who hasn't?" Kyle replied.
"Right. Well, it seems that they're looking for a doctor to join their team. I've been looking at your records and you seem to be the most qualified person for the job."
Kyle could hardly believe it. For years, he'd been hearing about the Star Fox team and all the great things that they'd done. All that time, he'd dreamed of becoming a member of the team and now his dream was about to come true.
