The Team felt a rush by taking off, they could see that the battle was about to begin, the Cornerian fleet were behind them. At the distance, was the attacker's fleet. They were numerous, which the team never understood of where they came from, and never thought that Sydney had so much. For looked to the other airwings then looking to the front, "guys..." he said "let's go". The team rushed into the enemies, as they rushed into them, the battle had begun. As everyone was busy by shooting someone down, Fox knew he was alone for now, he shot many of the enemies' airwings, he also evaded shots from every single direction, "they are too many" he thought, but luckily, as he was shooting other airwings, he also saw different blasts coming from the ground, it was the defense turrets shooting down other enemies' airwings. "Fox, are you sure you can handle all of them?" asked Ike who flew passing by him, "yes" he replied. Fox continued his fight, and thought if he would ever win this battle.
"Falco, Look out!" shouted Fay flying behind him, which made Falco avoid the shots from an attacker, "They are too many" he said, "I know, but we can't give up easily" she replied, they flipped to the side by avoiding the enemies shooting, Falco looked around and looked down to the turrets, then he looked to the enemies, who were flying around the area, he smiled, he had an idea, he started shooting some attackers, not to kill them, just to get their attention, it wasn't long until he got a large group of attackers following him, trying to attack him. Falco flew down, he flew as fast as he could, since there was a wave of attackers chasing him, he looked to them, smiling as they approached him, "It's over" said one of the attackers, Falco giggled, "What's so funny about?" said one of the attackers, "look for yourself" replied Falco smiling, "I don't give a damn" replied one of the attackers "you're about to become fried chicken, birdie", "oh really?" replied Falco, "I would say the same thing about you all right now", "huh?" surprised the attackers, "look to your right" he said, the attackers looked and saw the turrets opening fire to them, "oh shi-" said one of the attackers before getting shot down by the turrets. Falco plan was a success, the turrets shot down every single one of them. Falco flew back up, while going up, Krystal called him worried about what did he do down, as he replied, she was relieved and also surprised by how his plan worked, then Falco continued flying in order to help other pilots which were in need. Krystal, on the other side, wasn't having any problem so far, since she could handle the situation herself. Krystal looked up to the sky and saw three airwings coming down, it only would be a matter of minutes, or even seconds that they would arrive on this planet, whatever they are, she hoped they were people coming to help them, because even if she could defeat a part of the enemies' troop, they still were too much, and they've lost already some soldiers due of this battle, Krystal stopped thinking when her airwing was almost hit by one attacker's laser shots, she quickly shot him back, "everything okay, Krystal?" asked Fay "Yes , I'm okay" she replied, "you need to be more careful" said Fay worried, "I know" replied Krystal "I was distracted by some airwings who are coming down to us", "where?" asked Fay, "over there" she replied showing to her, but this time, the airwings have descended faster, "oh my" she grasped.
Most of the team was getting control of the situation, Slippy did not, he only could shoot down a few of them, meanwhile they started following him, he realized that he was alone again, he flew to every single direction possible, but this action made more ones trying to e shoot him down. Slippy was never more afraid than that day, although he felt the urge to sit down and cry, he didn't give up, "I'm dead" he thought "I was always the weak one, the one people had to help, first yesterday, and now today", Slippy closed his eyes for a second, he felt as if time has slowed, and deep inside of him, he felt the courage to confront those attackers, "I…I can defeat them!" he thought, as he opened his eyes, he immediately turned around to face those attackers. It was hard to describe of what he did, he rolled to the sides, as he repeatedly shoot at the attackers, he was successful at shooting some of them, but he didn't stop there, by time, not only did he do several barrel rolls as he shot down every single attacker, that followed him.
Slippy's bravery helped him and everyone else, but suddenly two different airwings arrived at the battle, they started to shoot at the cornerian airwings, the team saw that and instantly knew that they were enemies, unfortunately, one of them tried to shoot at Slippy, he was able to dodge it, and shot back, "well, well, well, if it isn't one the visitors who entered our base, I think now we can handle this business, right Garth?" he said, "Hugh!" replied Slippy, "Slippy, I'm coming!" said Krystal wanting to help him, "Thank you Krystal, but I can handle him" said Slippy bravely, "Oh! If it isn't the Star Fox Team, their Pathetic Leader, the rebellious birdie, the useless idiots, and the drama queen" said Garth, "How do you who we are?" said Fox, "HA! You think we katinians are isolated from the rest of the system, don't you?" said Garth "You are wrong buddy, your doings are known everywhere, after all, you guys defeated Andross" "Well, I think I waited enough, let's bring this down" said Hugh and attacked Slippy, he managed to dodge again, and soon he shot back, they zigzagged through the sky leaving the area, "I hope he'll be okay" thought Krystal, but as she was distracted she saw Falco doing same thing, this time against Garth, "Krystal, keep an eye on Slippy, and don't interfere " said Fox, "Right away" She replied.
"Come on, Falco, let's have this chance to properly introduce myself!" said Garth trying to shot, "I don't think we have much to talk right now, you moron!" replied Falco flying over the mountains. Garth speeded up and advanced in his direction, but Falco was able to trick him by passing through the mountains, he waited for the moment that Garth felt he had him going slower, Garth saw him and speeded, he tried to shoot Falco, but missed, as he got closer, Falco quickly flew up, opening the view for Garth, which was an mountain his front, Garth almost crashed into the mountain, "Argh! You smartass think you really could trick me to death, huh?" he said angrily, "Well, it looked like I really did!" he replied, "Well, let's see how many other tricks you have," he replied.
"Ugh" sighted Slippy scared after dodging Hugh's attack, "You can't evade me, Froggy," replied Hugh with pride, "ha-ha, I just evaded your shooting, dumbass, so how hard, will it be to evade you?" said Slippy, which made Hugh much more angry. Slippy also between the mountains, but this time he was completely alone, Falco was facing Garth, Fox and Krystal were still in the battlefield shooting down other attackers, and the Cornerian troops were following their orders by defending the area from the enemy fleet. But as Slippy got distracted by thinking his situation he was almost shot by the left, he looked to the left, and there was nothing, Slippy was afraid and he moved faster and again, Hugh shooted again at him, but missed as Slippy flipped. Slippy turned back and was face to face with Hugh, "hehehe, just like an old duel" said Hugh, "True…" said Slippy, "and I guess we just have to end this moment, unless you're chicken and let me kill you" said Hugh grinning evilly, "Now you really wish for that" said Slippy "A Mercenary is man with guts and a airwing", Hugh grinned "Bring it". Both of them accelerated into each other, Hugh tried to shoot him, but Slippy dodged, in a moment Slippy was able to shoot Hugh, but he missed too, they went doing this, until Slippy was distracted and saw Hugh running into him, he closed his eyes and began shooting, this time, he was successful, he shot the right wing. As Hugh's ship began falling down, Slippy captured the ship with the plasma rope, he used before, "Lucky of you, Hugh, you won't die here, but you will face the consequences of your doings" said Slippy happily, Hugh was angered.
Back at the Battlefield, Fox Krystal, and the rest were successful, the enemy fleet retreated. Meanwhile Falco was still facing Garth, but as Garth saw the others retreating, he retreated too, "This isn't over yet, Falco" he said and left with the others.
The team reunited, and they were surprised to see that Slippy captured Hugh. "Is everyone alright?" said Fay "Yes" they replied, "I guess you brought a present, Slippy" said Fox, "Yes, isn't it lovely" said Slippy, they laughed "Curse you, Star Fox" replied Hugh angrily, suddenly, Ike called them, "Fox, all of you, come back, there is something you'll have to hear" he said, and the team flew back to the base. As the team flew back to the base, some guards arrested Hugh and when they were the base, they received a message from general Pepper, "Star Fox, good job by defending Fichina, but I have terrible news", "What's wrong General ?" said Fox worried "It seems that those mercenaries leader, found another way to get energy" said General Pepper "and now, the Comet is going to strike Corneria sooner, see this footage", at his side, a small screen popped up, showing corneria city, people were still, looking to a small star in the sky, "Oh no, how could this happen?" said Krystal, "You have to find the Satellite, Star Fox, and find a way back to put the comet back to its orbit, Pepper out!", "We can he be?" said Slippy, Hugh, who was also in the room, but being laser chained began to giggle, "What's so funny about?" said Luke, but Hugh didn't say anything for a moment, until he looked to them, still giggling "you guys really think that he didn't know, right?" said Hugh, "what do you mean?" said Krystal in a serious tone, " Let's say there was a change of plans" said Hugh "besides, you don't have to drain energy from a tank in order to get it, there is a much more natural way to get it, better saying, to receive it", Fox thought what could he possibly talking about, until he looked through the window and saw the sun, "natural way…, wait…Yes! That's it!" he thought to himself, "Guys!" he called them "I know where Sydney is!", "Where?" said Krystal, "Hugh said that the satellite got energy naturally, and the only thing in space that gives energy is...", "The Sun!" they replied, "Well thought, Fox" said Hugh, "I don't believe you guys have much time afteral..ARGH", Hugh couldn't finish speaking since that Krystal lost her temper on him and punched him in the face, which made him faint everyone was quite shocked by seeing it, "Seriously!" she said "That guy was annoying the hell outta me!". "Good, now you guys know where to go" said Fay, "Yes, but what about him?" said Slippy pointing to Hugh, "You guys can think about that later" said Luke, "Meanwhile he'll stay here, to prevent the risk of escaping" said Ike, "Very Well, now go Fox, the Fate of Corneria remains on your hands" said Fay, "Sure, Team, Let's go!" said Fox, he and his team left the base and went back to their airwings and took off, heading this time to the Sun.
