Don't worry guys, I didn't forget you Star Wolf fans! Here's a pretty big chapter, because it's in the double-digits. Enter chapter 10...

Oh yeah, read chapter 1 before suing me. It helps a bit.

Weeks have passed since Wolf and Leon moved into their new home on Macbeth. They haven't seen hide or hair of the Cornerian army, the Star Fox team, and most importantly, Dengar. (Pigma, for those who address him by his first name.) Surely he would have found a way to break out of jail, right? Then again, he is a pig. Wolf really didn't mind. It was a lot quieter with just Wolf and Leon. No more squeaks, honks, or loud voices. That had a calming effect on Wolf. He didn't seem to notice anything different about him, but Leon did. Wolf wasn't easily annoyed, and when he was, it was very minor. On top of it all, nothing in their new home was crushed or damaged. That was big, considering the occupants of the property. One would think that Star Wolf would destroy something. Nope.

To make everything even better, Wolf had started to forget his fight with Falco, but still had scars and missing patches of hair. He was feeling well enough to start back at work.

There was just one minor issue with that... they've been snowed in. If this was summer on Macbeth, Wolf didn't want to know what winter looked like. At least the heater hasn't died yet. The Wolfens were completely covered in snow.

"Gee, one would think they have some type of atmospheric temperature neutralization device." Wolf said, looking in the fridge for stuff he would need to pick up at the store. Conditions were only going to get worse, so he'd better stock up on food.

Leon, who was eating a leftover burger, paused to make sense of what he just heard Wolf say. "Yeah." Was his best response.

Wolf shot him a look that said you didn't understand a single thing I just said, did you? "Well, I'm going to try to get out and get some things from the store. Can you think of anything?"

Leon shook his head.

"Okay." Wolf approached the front door and slipped on a coat, or two or fifty. He reached for the door knob, and all of a sudden, a green chameleon tackled him to the ground.

"No! Don't open that door like that!" Leon snapped at him.

"Get off of me."

Leon rolled off and stood up. "You can't just waltz out there, Wolf!"

"Why not?"

Leon pointed at the window, which was completely covered in snow. "You have to go out the upstairs window."

Wolf stared at Leon in disbelief. "The upstairs window?"

Leon nodded. "You would be crushed under the snow if you went out the front door!"

Wolf rolled his eyes, and headed for the stairs. "Exactly how far should I expect to fall when I jump out the window?"

Leon looked at the newspaper, thought for a second, and looked back at Wolf. "a foot."

Wolf continued up the stairs. Sure enough, the snow had reached all the way up to the window. In fact, it was covering the window. Wolf wasn't getting out today. With his head down, he walked down the stairs and sat on the couch. "We're trapped in." He said.

Leon nodded. "As expected."

"Things are only going to get worse, too. We're supposed to get another 3 feet tomorrow, they say."

"Oh great." Leon got up and walked over to the fridge. "Let's see... We need milk, eggs..."

Wolf blocked out Leon's voice as he planned a way to melt all of the snow. If the Macbeth government aren't going to control the temperature and weather conditions on this planet, Wolf was.

"Did you get all that, Wolf?" Leon said, turning to look at his unresponsive friend. "Wolf?"

Wolf snapped out of it. "Huh?"

Leon sighed. "What was your idea?"

"Climate control."

"We'd have to ask fast, before you won't be able to slip it out the window."

"Got that. Do you know how to make a climate control device?"

Leon thought for a moment. "ugh... yeaaah, no."

Wolf rested his head in his hand. "Uh."

"Hang on, I'll be right back." Leon rushed up to his room. Seconds later, he returned carrying a large duffel bag. He sat it on the arm of the couch, and started digging around in it, looking for something. A minute later, he pulled out a large piece of paper, folded up, and handed it to Wolf.

Wolf started unfolding the piece of paper, which took longer than he thought. After all of that unfolding, he finally saw what it was he was looking at. It was blueprints of a small spherical object with a metal base and a little red button on top. "Is this a bomb or something, Leon?"

"Nope, a climate control device."

"Well, that's great and all, but where am I supposed to get all of the parts from? I can't even get out the window."

Leon pulled out a very nondescript box and handed it to Wolf. "All the parts are in there. Enjoy." Leon walked back upstairs with the bag.

He sure is resourceful. Wolf thought to himself, and started assembling the climate control device.

Twenty minutes later, the pile of metal parts and tools started to look more and more like the bomb on the blueprints. Wolf was cautious assembling it, but seeing as there were no explosives involved, he relaxed. It's so much better to assemble your own stuff than having some questionable seller give you one. "Done." He said as he screwed the last metal panel on the ball, tucking the cords in neatly. "What now?"

"Put it on the roof and push the button."

"Wait, the roof? How do you propose I get up there?"

Leon shrugged. "Drill a hole in the ceiling or something. You're creative, you'll think of something."

Wolf growled and grabbed the small ball and the metal stand, consisting of just metal, and went up the stairs. To his relief, some of the snow had melted in the glare of Solar, so he was able to slip through the window. He climbed up to the roof and placed the small metal ball on the roof, the stand right underneath. He pressed the little red button on the top, and it began beeping and the light blinked. Wolf dived for cover, expecting a huge explosion, but instead felt himself sink lower and lower to the ground as the snow turned to mush.

Within moments, he felt the grass beneath, and stood up, brushing off some slush. "There. That's better."

This chapter was probably really short, but I had to make sure you guys didn't think this was abandoned by the new story I'm writing. We're not done here yet. Don't worry, we'll be seeing a certain pig in the next chapter. I promise.

Until next time!
