"I wonder what's taking those two so long." Mihr said to no one in perticular as she fiddled with an energy sword.

"Mihr just go to sleep or at least shut the fuck up I'm tired." Nakir groaned while rolling on the floor wearing cameo pants and a white muscle shirt.

"Mihrs right what if there hurt?" Dina asked.

"Well then look through the window see if you see them." Gabriel commented sarcastically while sharpening his knife on his armor.

"Oh ha ha, your so fun... Oh look who's hear. Where's Abbadon? She asked Archangel as he walked onto the bridge.

"Conversing with the natives." he bent over the command chair and studied something Dina couldn't see. "Hey Mihr could I borrow that?"

"This ya no problem. Catch." Mihr tossed the inactive blade to the Spartan who took it and attached a wire to it.

"Ah ha! Got it." power flickered on the chair and a hologram appeared on the left arm rest portraying a purple woman with long hair, she didn't wear any cloths showing of her hour glass shape but her intimate areas were covered by connecting strips of binary. She looked very much like the AI used by master chief. "Hello Catarina how was your nap?"

"Good but I was starting to think you forgot about me." the AI replied.

"I was wondering if you could help me with something? We met some natives on the planet but we can't understand them do you think you could translate for us?"

"Of course I'll be in my chip." she then disappeared and the white Spartan yanked the chip, inserted it into his neural implant and took off.

Everyone had watched what took place not understanding a thing "What.." Raphael started to ask but was cut off by Nakir.

"Who cares I'm going back to bed."

"GeoSync orbit achieved, we're home James." Peppy sighed.

"What are you not happy we're home? Don't you miss Lucy?" James teased knowing exactly what was on the hares mind.

Of course it's just, the fact that were not alone in the universe and that life else where can evolve so similarly to our own... It's slightly frightening, what if that one in the infirmary is hostile?" the old hare let out sitting back in his chair.

"Ya I know what you mean old friend, but he's locked in there no way out. The worst thought is that the guy down stair looks no older than Fox and he was already fighting 8 foot monstrosities, I know that he may age differently but if he looks like us and is remarkably similar biologically what's to say we don't share life spans." the vulpine sounded rather thoughtful.

"Speaking of Fox it's almost 10:30 don't you think he should get up and go to school?" Peppy said trying to change the subject.

"In a bit that's his first time seeing death, he needs his rest." James saw peppy get up and walk for the door.

"Alright fair enough, I'm going to take that guys gear down to Beltino, see what that crazy old coot can figure out about it and I'll take Mr. one ton on the shuttle to the hospital with the squad as escort, wanna come."

"Ya sure, Fox is old enough to take care of himself for a day."

Fox was surrounded by darkness nothing could be seen.

WhereamI? The young vulpine asked himself internally.

Suddenly two bright lights erupted perpendicular to each other, their glow revealing a rather terrifying creature. It had double jointed legs, was wearing red glossy armor and had a lower jaw that split into four, all of which contained razor sharp teeth. Fox saw the jaw start to move.

"Wot, wot, wot." it said in a deep voice then charged toward the frightened vulpine.

Fox didn't even have time to scream before pain erupted in his crest as two sharp points of light were thrust threw his sternum.

*{}*

Fox sat upright in bed, wide awake as he grappled with his fear. Fox could tell his fur was damp with sweat. He tore off his white muscle shirt and ran his Han down his chest thinking he'd find two stab wounds. He didn't.

"Just a dream, just a dream Fox." he whispered to himself but he couldn't convince himself, the pain was so real, he thought he could still feel it. "Might as well take a shower before school." he looked down at his clock it was 11:25 "Great I'm late ag... Why am I talking to myself?"

wowthatdreammusthavereallyshakenmeup,IonlytalktomyselfwhenI'mnervous.

He took off his pants and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water wash away the sweat, he quickly cleaned himself, stepped out and took a towel to dry himself off. He grabbed the clothes nearest to him but em on and went to his sky kicker.

The sky kicker was a small two person spacecraft designed for civilian use but had been modified heavily by Fox, it was blue and gold, had two wings that sloped down and back as well as a fin pointing straight up but also sloped back. He sent a quick message to his dad saying he had left, and took off.

The TV flashed red and yellow with the words breaking news in white. The screen then turned to a white tiger in a business dress.

"Good afternoon, Cornaria, we have breaking new that Star Fox is landing a shuttle at the Cornarian hospital with a heavily injured VIP, who's identity and race is being kept secret. Let go to our feline corespondent Trisha Takinawa, go ahead Trisha."

The scene changed to just outside of the hospital with a female golden cat in a grey business dress was standing.

"Thank you Dian, and just in time McClouds shuttle is just touching down let's watch."

A large shuttle, that was insect like in appearance, was touching the ground with it's landing gear. The air was being blown outward as the ships engines decelerated to safe levels. When it was on solid ground the engines were powered off and the hospital exterior was quiet. Suddenly, with a hiss of hydraulics, a large door swung down ward to form a ramp which 8 Cornarians disembarked and started to clear a way through the crowd covering as many cameras as they could with there paws including the one broadcasting to the television. The reporters from various news networks bombarded the troops with questions.

"Who is injured?"

"What happened to that they were hurt so bad?"

"What was the mission you were on?"

"Why did Star Fox need your help?"

"Is James alive?"

Those were some that the viewer was able to pick out. Just then the camera man was able to get the paw of the screen, to see a orange vulpine, a grey hare, a lupine and a rhino descended the ramp carrying a gurney with a black tarp over it. Bright red blood dripping out one side. The hare yelled out to one of the soldiers

"Go get a room ready make it private, no one in or out, his wounds are reopening!" stress was evident in his voice. They disappeared into the hospital a doctor in blue scrubs trailing them.

A voice from the other room called to the person watching. "Honey can you come help me unpack, if we finish you can go to school tomorrow."

"Coming mom!" the blue vixen said, she looked at the remote trying to figure out how it worked, but gave up and walked off.

=]|[=
