A/n: hello again. this will probably be my last chapter until sunday or monday because i am going on a trip on friday. i will update though so just hang out for a while -
Fox tried everything he could to figure out what had happened.it seemed like whatever attacked the research vessel was linked to the tracks outside the craft. fox had been searching for the black box on the space craft to no avail. after an hour he finally found it underneath a removable panel on the floor.
"ive found it krystal!" he said happily.
the blue vixen rushed over to him, helped him pick it up, and quickly dropped it to the floor again.the thing weighed a ton. there was no way he'd make it back to the arwings with it.
"here gos nothing.fox said as he pushed the play button located on the top.
the box was audio only but played like you we're actually there. all seemed to go normally. the team landed on the surface,catalogued the mineral deposits of the sands, searched for water, and deemed the planet lifeless. the box continued to play until something strange occured. the research team was getting ready to leave.
"did you guys save everything onto the back up discs?" said a crew member.
"yes sir." said another.
"good i dont want to come back." the first responded.
"captain!" shouted one of the other crew members." we've got a large amount of objects moving toward us at high speed!"
"what are they?" asked the captain with urgency. "i thought you classified this planet as unfit to support life."
"we did." said the other.
a screeching noise now pierced the air. it sounded like a knife grinding on a chalk board. soon feet could be heard moving around the hull of the ship. not biped deet though. these sounded more insect-like. something heavy hit the deck and thats when they screams came on. suddenly it all stopped.
"i've got a bad feeling about this krystal." fox said in fear.
he looked to his right to find that krystal had scooted close to him and was holding his arm. she quickly jumped back as her face turned red.
"yeah. that was weird. what if those things attack us?" she said in a worried tone.
"you know why they got rid of us don't you?" falco asked his toad counterpart.
"no. what do you mean?" slippy asked.
"oh come on. those two obviously have a thing for each other. i wouldnt doubt that they're having fun with it while we are doing the hard work" falco said with a laugh. "havn't you noticed?"
"no way falco. fox would never let a woman get in the way of getting the job done." slippy said confidently. "i bet they've already found the research vessel. its weird though. ive been trying to communicate with them on the radio but there is some interference out here."
"i'm telling you they turned the radio off." falco said with a chuckle.
"im telling you fox is a respons- ahhh!"
slippy's words were cut off as a hole in the ground opened up beneath the two. they both fell into the depths below.
"this couldnt have been natural.." slippy thought to himself. "this was a trap"
well thats chapter 4. in chapter 5 i will show off the menace of this story. stay tuned and please R&R.
