"It's Star Wolf!" Fox cried.

The Star Wolf team came flying in, followed by more Egg Pawn reinforcements. The Star Wolf team was, the leader, Wolf O' Donnell, and Wolf's teammates, Leon Powalski, and Pigma dengar.

"Doctor Robotnick has paid us a great amount of money to take you down." Leon said.

"Do you even know what that mad scientist is doing!?" Falco asked.

"He wants to take over an innocent planet AND the whole Lylat system!" Fox shouted.

"That's the best part of our deal." Wolf said. "The doctor even promised us a seat of power in his empire."

"He did WHAT!?" Fox asked in shock.

"Enough talk!" Wolf said. "Time to shoot you down!"

"Tails! Get out of here! Star Wolf is too dangerous!" Fox shouted to Tails.

"I'm on it!" Tails cried while turning the Arwing around.

"Wait a minute…..did you say 'Tails'?" Wolf asked. "He's on Doctor Robotnick's hit list."

Wolf then turned to Pigma's ship. "Pigma, shoot the kid down, Leon, you get Falco. Fox is mine!" Wolf commanded.

Pigma turned his ship and started to follow and shoot at Tails!

"Tails! Keep steady, I'm coming to-" Fox started to say but was interrupted by a laser shot from Wolf.

Falco was flying in all directions, trying to get rid of Leon, but Leon kept firing at him.

The swarm of Egg Pawns wasn't making anything better, it was as if they were only there to cause confusion, if so then they were doing a darn fine job at it.

Pigma was still shooting at Tails.

"You're not getting away kid, you're going DOWN!" Pigma chuckled.

"Oh really?" Tails asked and slammed on the ship's breaks, causing it to slow down.

Pigma saw this and quickly pulled up so he wouldn't collide into Tails and kill himself, but next thing he knew, Tails was on HIS tail.

"What!? How did you?" Pigma asked in confusion.

Tails answered by shooting Pigma's right wing right off, causing him to spin out of control.

"NO!" Pigma screamed as he eventually crashed into a Cornerian moon.

"What the?" Leon said in surprise. "That kid took down Pigma!"

"Tails…." Fox said astonished. "Great work!"

"That kid is going to regret that!" Leon said and started to head for Tails' ship, only to be shot down by Falco.

"You blasted bird!" Leon screamed and he crashed into the same place Pigma crashed.

All that remained was Wolf.

"I am not going down so easily!" Wolf screamed and started flying around unpredictably.

"I can't get a good shot!" Fox said.

The Egg Pawns started to fire at Fox, Tails, and Falco. All three were shooting down the Egg Pawns and dodging their lasers.

"These Egg robots are getting really annoying!" Falco said.

"I deal with this Egg Pawn stuff every time I bring my plane to an Eggman attack." Tails said.

"Just keep shooting and don't let any of them swarm you!" Fox commanded.

Suddenly Fox saw a blue blur shoot across the front of his cockpit.

"Oh no…" Fox said.

It was Metal Sonic!

Metal Sonic circled back and flew toward Fox's ship, and landed on top of it.

Fox thought Metal Sonic was going to attack, but all he heard was strange beeping noises, then Metal Sonic flew off.

"What's he doing?" Falco asked out loud.

"Let's not focus on that right now, let's focus on taking Wolf down!" Fox said.

Suddenly Fox heard Tails' voice on his communications line.

"If you guys are looking for Wolf…" Tails said. "He's trying to shoot me down!"

"Hold on Tails, we're coming!" Fox shouted and started flying toward Tails' ship.

Fox started to charge his laser and locked on to Wolf.

Fox fired, but it missed Wolf.

At that moment, Wolf, Metal Sonic, and all the Egg Pawns got a transmission from Dr. Eggman.

"Everyone, it's time to retreat. I now have what I need." Eggman said.

Soon Metal Sonic and the Egg Pawns started to retreat and Wolf flew toward the moon where his teammates crashed.

"What!?" Fox cried in anger. "Why are they retreating!? What about the deal Eggman made!?"

"This isn't the first time Egghead has broken a deal." Tails growled.

"Let's get back to the Great Fox and follow them before we lose their trial." Fox said.

Back on the Great Fox, everyone was disappointed by how anti-climactic the whole thing was and how the whole plan had failed.

"I didn't even get a chance to get in on the action!" Sonic said with a frown.

"So Eggman has got Star Wolf on his side now….That's just perfect." Fox said sarcastically.

"Incoming transmission from General Pepper." The robot ROB said.

Then General Pepper came on the ship's monitor screen.

"What happened Star Fox? Corneria was being held hostage, then you showed up, now they retreated. Did you scare them off?" The general asked.

"No General." Fox said. "The whole thing was a trap. Star Wolf is involved with Eggman's plan now."

"Star Wolf!?" The general said shocked. "This is not good at all, but do any of you know why Eggman attacked Corneria again?"

"Eggman was holding it hostage to lure us in the trap." Falco said.

"Eggman wants to take over not only Sonic and his friend's home world, but now he has his sights on the Lylat system as well." Fox said.

"WHAT!?" General Pepper cried. "That is unacceptable!"

"I know, we were going to teach them a lesson, but they retreated before we could deliver the punch." Falco said.

"I have a feeling he didn't retreat because of fear of losing, he had plenty of Egg Pawns left, I think it was a tactical retreat." Fox said

"Well, if that mad man is threating to take over the Lylat system, the Cornerian army is getting involved!" General Pepper said.

"No General, we can do it ourselves." Fox said.

"Fox, I know Egg head, if he retreats, it usually means he's got something BIG planned." Sonic said.

"Alright then." Fox said. "We'll follow Eggman's fleet back to his base, and with the arwings, Conerian fleet, and the Great Fox, we'll take them down in no time."

"Alright." General Pepper said. "I'll send in the fleet now."

"Doctor Eggman is NOT going to get away this time!" Fox said with a growl.

MEANWHILE, IN EGGMAN'S SPACE STATION.

Eggman was pushing buttons on his control panel getting everything fired up.

"HO HO HO!" Eggman laughed. "Soon the mind control laser will be full of energy I siphoned from the master emerald, and every citizen of Mobius will be under MY control, AND the entire Lylat system will be mine! This is turning out better than my original plan when it was just Mobius!"

At that moment Metal Sonic stepped in.

"Ah, Metal Sonic." Eggman said, "Have you gotten what we wanted?"

"Yes master Robotnick." Metal Sonic said. "Arwing data, has been copied…."
