"Those Venomian butts!
I actually rather enjoyed the fight scene in this story; a lot of fight scenes in other Star Fox fanfics have a habit of being too rushed, but this is rather nice!
Keep it up!"
-OrangeKat
Weird. My response on NSIDER was that my earlier chapters were rushed. Then again, StarFox is not as respected over there, so I really haven't been there in ages.
"Wow... Amazing. Nice. Write more. Thats all I have to say, lol. This looks like this has big things in store for it, so make that happen. If you want, check out my fanfic, Sonic the Hedgehog: Revenge of the Mettalix. Of course, it is in the Sonic Section."
-DragonMaster123
Did you just advertise in a review? You just mage the List…
Don't worry, not THAT kind of list. The list of names that take after my online aliases! The 123 matches my NSIDER account. (Neotendo123 for those who wish to know.)
Onto the fic!

Chapter 3: Street War
What was installed outside of the ballroom was an Apocolis Canon, which with one shot could decimate the entire block.
"A canon!" Krystal said.
"Uh, that looks bigger than a cannon." Falco observed.
"The Apocolis Canon is a widespread ion ray impacter, which can be extremely deadly." Slippy said.
"ROB! Alert the CDS!" Fox yelled.
"Affirmative. Alarm Initiated." ROB confirmed.
"For now, we have to disable the canon!"
"And the 5,00 foot soldiers approaching." Falco interjected.
"Okay, Krystal and I will take on the cannon, Slippy will disable the shields, and Falco will provide covering fire from the top of that building. ROB!"
"Yes?"
"Charge the Great Fox's lasers… things are about to get ugly…"
---
Fox and Krystal went through the shields, unplugging their weapons fuel cells so they would not explode, as that is what energy shields do.
Slippy called down a Landmaster, and set off for the shield generators. He noticed that there were foot soldiers trailing him.
"Slippy! Bogeys on your 6!" Falco noticed.
"I know. I got it." Slippy hit the revered thrusters and ran them over.
"Wow! You actually took care of them!"
"Shut up Falco."
"You let your guard down!" Said Falco as he took some enemies out behind Slippy.
"Thanks Falco."
"Will you just get rid of the shield generators already?"
Slippy launched a nova bomb at the 2 south generators, which promptly caused them to fall down and generate a shockwave that disabled the landmaster's systems. Reboot in 5 mins.
"Uh, Falco? I have company…"
"Uh Slippy? I'm out of ammo. ROB! Send me an arwing!"
"Great Fox forced entry attempted. Launch bay doors are in emergency lock. Command clearance conflict." ROB said.
"Slippy? Problem!"
"Systems are back online!" Slippy said as he took out the enemies with ease.
"Now your company is about to be MY company! And this ain't no merger." Falco would have to rely on physical combat. "Come on, put your guns down and fight like an ape. Me tarzan, you about to get your a-"
The approaching ape chose to say "Shut Up" with some very extreme body language.

Fox and Krystal climbed into the engine station of the canon, taking out few guards along the way. There was a security uplink inside the canon, which locked all of the doors around them.
"We're trapped." Fox observed.
"And enemy reinforcements are coming in!" Said Krystal.
"I have an idea. Get on top of that ledge."
Thy climbed onto the security blind spots as pointed out by Krystal, which reopened the doors.
"Heh. They must have fled." Said the first guard.
"But all of the doors are locked." Said the second.
"So th-"
His sentence was cut short by a well-aimed blaster shot as blood splattered everywhere.
The team continued until they reached the energy core.
"It almost feels like it's living…" Felt Krystal.
"It looks like- no… that's impossible!"
"It's a synthetic aparoid core. It's fake."
"So they are using fake aparoid power?"
"Yes, but it only has the powers of technological flexibility. Let's set up the bomb. Why is there no detonator?"
"Well, it's raw D-49 ore. It can be set off by shock waves. One of the guards destroyed the detonator."
"Let's get out of here. I feel another presence…"
"That means Slippy has taken out the shields… we don't have much time!"
---
"Oof!" Exclaimed Falco. Wings are not very good for combat, and he wasn't going to take of his boots to use his talons. At least, not yet. Backup had arrived just in time.
"You never were one for hand-to-hand combat, were you?" Said a certain pink feline.
"Katt!"
"Jeez, you're getting clobbered."
"I could have handled them…"
"SURE you could have."
"Whatever. So why are you here?"
"I'm here because I need your help."
"You need my help? Just like good 'old times, eh Katt?"
"Shut up and hop on." (a/n: if you quote that, keep it in context.)
---
"Let's get out of here!" Yelled fox.
"Hey guys!" Said Katt on the COM.
"Katt! What are you doing here?"
"Who is Katt?"
"I'll tell you later. Let's just get out of here. KATT! We need you to bomb the cannon 'till there isn't one!"
"I'm out! I have no bombs!"
"Me too!" Said Slippy.
"Got you covered. Homing launcher, set and locked! FIRE!" Said Falco.
A huge rumble shook the ground, and although since they were hovering and could not feel it, they saw a massive explosion.
"Katt! I need you to fly up and take out whoever is attacking the Great Fox! You're the only one with a ship!"
"Got it!" Said Katt as she flew away. Once she got into space, she had a bit of a shocking revelation regarding the enemy.
"Oh god… it's…. them…"

Oooh! Suspense! Somehow I don't think that this chapter will live up to the previous one.
