A/N: What's up here I am with another new chapter and as promised this will contain action and in the beginning you might be a bit lost since this chapter goes out of the storyline but you will see how it all mixes together. Also I'd like to thank bryan mccloud and samg107 you guys were the first who commented and that made my day, I'm expecting to hear from you again (just if you like it with one comment it's more than fine) and this also serves as invitation for those who want to review and haven't done it, you are free to do it.
Disclaimers: all of the characters depicted in this story are owned by Nintendo, except for some OC's that belong to me.
Chapter 4
The Figure
Emeron's Space Station near Sector Z
9 hours before Falco's meeting
A figure dressed in a black and white robotic suit very similar to the one worn by Andross, except that this is adapted to the figure's size and features revealing it was a female, was lying on the ground.
"Where am I?" it's voice distorted due to the speaking system installed on the helmet this one though was different to the one of Andross since it was more rounded and the eyes were covered by a dense glass, the tail was covered by the suit too.
"How did I get here? Last thing I remember was the battle against the aparoids… Star Fox was there too… I thought I died when putting that distraction, but I ended here, now that I think of it where did those two go" the animal started looking around as if trying "those two", she decided to stand up and walk around but a thug dressed in a black armor suit appeared in front of him.
"What the? Who the hell are you?" he said aiming his blaster to the figure.
"I-I'm… lost" was all she could mutter in response.
"Wait, that suit…" the thug examined her and lowered his weapon "…Are you with the visitor?"
"Y-Yes of course I came with him, but on the way I got lost, could you tell me where I am p-p-please" the latter said as if it was the hardest thing to say in the universe.
"You don't know?" the thug asked with clear suspicion in his voice.
"No, since I was part of the crew he never told me, all that I know is that this is…" and she looked out a window that was conveniently placed in there and could see a nebula that looked like a Z "… Sector Z?" she didn't notice but it looked more like a question than an affirmation.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes Sector Z of course! How could I forget?"
"Well this is indeed Sector Z and we are inside of the space station Omega owned by Mr. Zan, your boss was supposed to reunite with him in the conference room, I will guide you there once you present me your identification"
"What for?"
"I must confirm if you truly are with him"
"But that doesn't make sense since you already told me everything not knowing if I'm with him or not" the thug was left silent realizing the foolishness he just did.
"Anyhow give me an identification or I'll shoot" aiming once again to the figure. Seeing no answer from the figure he opened fire, the figure put her arms as if trying to protect herself but something weird happened actually nothing happened fact that surprised the figure, she removed her arms and saw the blaster shot going extremely slow so she dodged and then everything went back to normal, the thug was obviously dumbfounded.
"How can you move so fast?" and he fired again and again but the figure skillfully evaded one after another. And then following her instincts she went to punch the thug but from the tips of the suit's fingers emerged claws of four inches each which pierced through the neck of the thug killing him.
"Wow! That was like a scene taken from a movie!" she was obviously very excited about this new ability.
"Prototype Suit number 008 on" a robotic voice said. Causing the female to scream very loud.
"Who's there?" but then she realized the voice was the suit.
"Suit has been activated in an unplanned way restart needed wait 5 seconds" the voice said again and the suit restarted itself in an act of lights.
"Welcome to the Prototype Suit number 008, Master"
"What?"
"You activated the suit which means you are the master Master"
"What is this suit?" the "Master" asked.
"The Prototype Suit is part of a series of special suits created with technology from the aparoids"
"And are they the only creators?"
"No"
"Who else then?"
"Andross Oikonny"
"Yeah of course that monkey must be in everything that happens here. Still how did he create them?"
"Andross used parts of the aparoids, obvious isn't it?" this robot was starting to annoy her.
"And how did he know about the aparoids all those years ago?"
"Years?"
"Yes what you heard"
"Negative Master, this suits were finished 2 months ago"
"But that can't be, Andross has been dead for years"
"Negative, in fact my sensors indicate he is in this station" this last comment scared her to an extreme point but bravely said.
"Then I'm going to find him and kill him myself, ROB lead the way!"
"ROB?"
"Yes, Robotic Operating Buddy, that's what you are no?" the ROB didn't answer he simply showed a map in the visor of the helm which showed the location of Andross and thus both began their way.
After an hour of walking, killing some guards on the way, they came across what seemed like a common area filled with many soldiers.
"What now? There's no other way" the figure said nervous.
"Recommend you use the cloaking system Master" the ROB suggested her.
"How do I do that?"
"The same way you use the fighting system, by asking me to activate it" the Master reluctantly did as told while thinking 'God! Now he wants me to ask for it, I swear I will destroy this freaking robot!' The suit turned invisible allowing her to simply pass the guards without them noticing her.
"I warn you Master that using this for an extended time will waste energy quickly"
"Got it"
Past the room was a small hallway in which was the door to the conference room but this was heavily guarded.
"I can't go that way it would be too obvious even while cloaked"
"To the left Master, there is a dead end with an air vent that leads to the conference room" and so she went this way, in it were two guards possibly protecting this secret entrance.
"Here it is, how do I open that vent?"
"In each of the wrists there is a small barrel that shoots blaster; use it, though I don't recommend it for combat since it's not very strong"
"I will kill the guards and then open that vent with the blaster"
"I don't recommend it, a patrol comes this way every once in a while the bodies will be discovered too easily, I suggest a distraction Master" she examined the area and while hiding she shot the door of the vent leaving it hanging in there, the thugs thought this was a malfunction and went to search for a mechanic, the Master then jumped into the vent, closed it and started crawling all the way to her destination.
"Yes my friends, I am the one and only Emperor of the Venomian Empire and soon to be ruler of Lylat Andross Oikonny!" was all she heard when she got there.
"Is that him?" she asked
"Affirmative"
"But he seems so different"
"All that I know is that his armor was created with the rests of the Aparoid Homeworld"
"But that was destroyed just three days ago"
"The rest of the information has been removed from my memory"
A few hours later everyone left the room so the Master came out of the air vent and in a stealthy way followed Andross who was alone for some reason, he was muttering something to himself, and Andross then came to a halt and looked out the large window on his right.
"This stars… they bring memories…" deep in thought he suddenly looked to the right where the figure was hiding (she was invisible), he started walking towards her and grabbed her by the throat deactivating the cloaking system.
"Did you really believe you could deceive me with my own suit?"
"Let me go!" she screamed almost with all she had because it was becoming really hard to breath.
"Where did you get it?" Andross questioned.
"I don't know I woke up in this station and had the suit on!"
"Perhaps it's true the database from the suit proves so. Anyway what you are wearing is mine so hand it back"
"Never if you want it then you will have to kill me!"
"As you wish miss" and Andross started choking her harder and harder until she passed out, thus causing the suit to activate an emergency defense system that created an armor around the suit repelling Andross' hand and so she woke up because of a shock that was sent through the entire armor.
"Jump out the window" the monotone voice of the computer yelled.
"What?" she answered
"Trust me I have it all planned" and recklessly she jumped breaking the glass and was sucked by the vacuum of space. Andross just stood there added to the ground looking her and then the emergency window came down returning everything to normal.
Meanwhile on the outside the figure was flying through the many ships that were leaving the station.
"Land on a small one!" the computer said again.
"How the hell do you expect me to do that?" the computer let out a heavy robotic sigh and grunted.
"I do everything here" and they started to plane through space until they reached a small ship, went inside and knocked out all the ones inside it.
"This has the ability to warp, perfect let's go to Corneria" and she started pressing buttons and the ship created a portal that took them to Corneria.
"We will have to make an emergency landing" the computer suggested, and so the ship pierced through the atmosphere heating and catching on fire, in the end in landed roughly in the middle of a forest near Corneria City, when she came out of the ship she was expecting to see a large crowd but for some reason there wasn't, so she quickly grabbed a large coat and put the hood on.
"It was a smooth landing don't you think so ROB?" she questioned the computer.
"If by smooth you mean destroying a ship and almost an entire forest then it was" the computer answered sarcastically.
After a while she was starting to feel but tired any hotel that she knew was still far away and to make things worse it started to rain really hard.
"Crap! Does God hate me or something!" she yelled frustrated.
And after minutes of intense running and intense rain she managed to reach the park there were still a few animals she tried asking them for help but they either denied or ran freaked out.
"Bastards" she whispered.
"Maybe is because of your appearance Master"
"Shut up you stupid piece of trash!"
"Whatever, now if you don't mind Master, I would to take a rest the energy is running low"
"Yeah whatever" and in a second the helmet was gone, so she kept running until she saw the street.
"Thank goodness" she said, then suddenly in her way came a blue bird, she crashed with him and that made her turn around, she could see her face for a second and a simple name came out sweetly from her muzzle "Falco…" and landed face first on a rock in the ground losing her consciousness. Falco went to attend the figure and carried her to his car.
"Must have landed on a rock" he said but then realized something and turned around to see the face of the figure confirming his suspicion, what he saw left him breathless and in shock only one word came out of his beak.
"Katt…"
So that's it, this chapter practically ended in the same as the before but from another POV and as for the person using the suit I had some troubles defining who it was going to be but in the I chose Katt, sorry if it looks a bit lame but it's just that at some points I wasn't really focused but still I hope everyone enjoys it and now the plot begins to thicken also the part of the romance will begin soon as for the couples well you know the usual so keep tuned and see ya on the next chapter. TheNight'sWolf over and out.
