STAR FOX: The Rising.
All was quiet on the Cornerian space cruiser. The huge, oval like ship floated across space to a secret location based a long way from the Lylat Sytem. Fairly little knowledge of the ship's journey was known. Why it was flying to this unknown destination was left unanswered. The large content of the ship's docking bay was also a complete mystery. Even the pilots of the cruiser had no idea of what they were doing.
The only orders that they were given were to dump the very large, tube-like containers at the secret location and they were not allowed to see what they were. The crew did ask about what they were taking but the questions were turned away and they were told never to ask again.
The control deck was mainly made up of silver floors, walls and ceilings with coloured buttons and switches covering the walls and control panels at the front. A screen showed the way forward in what looked to by nothing but the blackness of space and the bright stars burning far away. Two pilots dressed in blue shirts and trousers along with black ties were present at the controls. One was a beaver named Chuck and the other was a tiger named Jason. Chuck had just come back with some cups of coffee. "Here's something to pick us back up." Chuck said in a rough voice. He handed a cup to Jason and Jason placed it on the top of the dashboard of the control panel. "Thanks Chuck," said Jason in a smooth, low voice, "it's so hard staying awake doing all this." "Yeah and I don't know what the deal of this all is," Chuck said, "taking a bunch of large, metal tubes to some secret dumping ground outside the Lylat system? They don't even look that important to get rid of."
"Thing are more then how they look," Jason said, "maybe…" "Maybe what?" Chuck asked him. "Maybe," Jason continued, "we could go down to the cargo hold and take a look at what we've got to remove." "Oh no you don't" Chuck protested, "you heard the General, we are restricted from looking." "At what?" Jason through back, "looking inside a bunch of subway pipes? What could be in there? Just confidential files…" "They look to large for stuff like that!" Chuck said. "Well, I am tired of waiting to find out." Jason left his piloting position and headed for the doors that lead to the cargo bay. Chuck leapt up and put his arm in the doorway blocking off Jason's path.
"I'm not letting you go down there," Chuck said, "what if the General finds out?" "Don't worry my friend," Jason assured, "He's not going to know anything. "Come on Chuck, I know you want to find out what it is so let's go and take a little peek." Chuck lowered his hand. "Well I am now kind of wondering," Chuck began, "and no one will know that we took a small gander… OK then. Let's go."
The walk down the stairs to the docking bay was very dim lighted and the cargo hold was even darker. As Chuck and Jason approached the docking bay they turned on their torches and headed into the bay. Chucks heart was racing but Jason remained calm as they walked up to the large tubes.
The two tubes were extremely large like they were tankers used on trucks but were even larger than that. It looked as if cars could be driven into them and could be stored inside them sideways. Jason walked up to one of the tubes as Chuck watched from a distance. Jason saw a huge metal door with a pad lock on it. He took a crowbar leaning to the side of it and with a large swipe knocked the pad lock clean off the door. The door swung open and Jason peered inside. Chuck quietly walked up to the door with Jason and to a look inside. A large corridor could be seen that paved a way inside the tube. "Come on, let's go in" Jason said to Chuck and they both entered the tube.
Chuck was shocked at what Jason and he found inside. "Coffins!" Chuck yelled in fright, "These damned things are filled with coffins!" "But why?" Jason wondered, "What is so secret about a bunch of corpses?"
Jason walked over to one of the coffins that had been stacked along with others on two shelves at the sides on the corridor in the tube. Jason put a hand on one of the lids. "Jason?" Chuck said grabbing his arm that had touched the metal coffin, "This isn't a good idea. We know what we have to take now so let's get back to the deck. I hate it in here now." "Let me just have a glimpse." Jason replied before lifting the lid off the coffin you gazing at what was inside.
A body of a grey badger dressed in a Cornerian army uniform lay in the coffin along with his helmet and pistol. "I don't like this anymore." Chuck said while pulling other arm in the direction of the door but Jason broke from the grip and looked around the tube some more. Chuck stood shivering tin the doorway his co-pilot began to open more coffins.
Suddenly a door slamming noise could be heard from the other tube. Chuck peered from the doorway of the tube that he had opened and saw the other tube but its door was still closed. "Did you hear that Jason?" Chuck asked. "Hear what?" Jason asked back. "That noise, it came from the other tube. Jason turned around from the coffin that he was investigating and walked up to Chuck by the doorway.
Then the body in the coffin unknowingly to the pilots began to move and slowly reached it's arm out of the coffin and lifted itself out of the coffin. Jason looked around and saw that all was quiet and nothing had been touched or changed in the docking bay. "Your hearing things Chuck." Jason said.
Suddenly, Chuck had frozen. His eyes filled with fear and disbelief. "Chuck? Chuck?" Jason asked with a worrying look. "What's the matter?" Suddenly a laser gunshot came out of the tube and went right through the neck of Jason. Chuck screamed as a grey furred corpse of a squirrel came slowly towards him.
Chuck ran as fast as he could and entered the control deck. He quickly pushed some buttons, grabbed a microphone and spoke and a rapid voice. "Help! Help! Mayday! Can anybody hear me? My ship is under attack be what seem to be zombies. I don't have much time but if you can help me my coordinates are…AGH!!! NO!!! STAY BACK!!! AGH!!!" The transmission breaks.
