MILD VIOLENCE WARNING!

The war outside had been a horrific scene; Star Fox went from the skies and to the ground, fighting along side soldiers. A few stayed in the air and some chose the soil to soak in blood. James and Peppy chose land for hand on hand combat forcing the younger piolets to take the air. Fax hated the idea, but he couldn't go against his father's words. It wasn't apparent whom was in charge anymore; James or Fox.

"Are you out of ammo?" The scraped up old Vulpine asked the older hare.

"Almost but I think I'll make due."

James peaked from behind the charred and blown up vehicle they took cover behind. "That machine isn't fucking around, Peppy, If I don't make it- "

"James don't even go there." Peppy scolded. "I watched that kits heart break too many times too much. I refuse to watch it break again. If anyone's going down it's me."

A missile landed behind them in a fiery blast, making the both of the jump. Looking up the robot was growing in closer to them.

"Peppy we gotta move!"

Not far away in the air Fox was hot of the robots tail and closing in. "Falco im going for it."

"Alright do you need backup?"

"Don't know yet; May just trust my gut instincts on this one."

Fox mentally prepared himself before firing a bomb landing it right on the robots head. "Got em!"

"Alright Foxy, never doubted you for a minute."

Fox thought about replying but a bang to his jet distracted him. "Oh look, if it isn't Wolf."

Before Fox could even think he was surrounded by Star Wolf; they were like buzzards surrounding their prey before it died.

"Falco, I think I need back up now."

"On my way Foxy, don't worry."

Before Fox could even blink all of Star Wolf were shooting in his direction; The clash of bullets against his R-Wing sent an earthquake into the jet. Cursing Fox took off taking a swift turn slamming a bomb right onto the back of Wolf's jet.

"I'll take you all on!" Fox yelled ignoring the danger warnings coming from his jet; Red was flashing inside his cockpit like a rave and alarms screamed in his ears like bullhorns. "Falco where are you!?"

"On my way, Foxy, why am I hearing alarms what's going on?"

"Falco if I don't make it hug my dad for me alright?"

The birds heart sank. "Don't you fuckin talk like that! You aren't dying Fox I won't let you. Get away from there and get out of that R-Wing before they blow you out of the sky!"

Gazing among the intense battle going on in the skies of Corneria city Fox took a deep breath in before calmly activating his lower guns. Just as Fox was ready to battle again a red flash appeared on screen 'G-Diffuser Systems Fail'. Fox knew he was dead now. Swiftly he scanned the skies as he used one last attempt after wolf darting past the lupine.

"Not looking so good pup!" Wolf called out.

"Robot's down." James pointed out to Peppy. "One of our boys seemed to have taken it out."

Nodding Peppy shook soot off his uniform. "I'll have to personally hug whomever did that." Taking out his communicator he set it on his head activating it. "Star Fox, checking up."

"I'm doing fine." Slippy spoke.

"I'm busy!" The panicked avian spoke.

"I- uh." Fox didn't want to worry Peppy, so he lied. "I'm fine as well."

Not buying it peppy felt worry sink in, grateful James's communicator was still put up for the moment. "If you're so fine why and I hearing alarms for the g-diffuser?"

"Don't worry about it... "Fox said bluntly. "I gotta go... hug dad for me?"

"Don't be doing something stupid Fox!"

Hearing his sons name James shot his head up from loading his guns. "What the hell is he doing?"

"Fox? Fox answer me now!" Peppy felt his entire world slow down, it was the previous war all over again. "Kid last time you did think you were in a black whole for three hours! Don't do anything stupid."

Fox only landed one hit on Wolf before hit ArWing start going down, he was awaiting the end before in the corner of his eye he spotted Bunny on top of a building being captured by Andrew. He couldn't die now, Bunny needed him; Quickly he opened his busted-up cockpit and jumped out landing in a roll on the building before flinging his blaster out. The ArWing blew up into pieces as it hit the ground, Peppy saw this and felt his heart shatter.

"James... Maybe that wasn't Fox?" He spoke

The vulpine was numb; He new that was his son's jet and it just blew up in front of him. Like loosing his wife wasn't enough, now Andros took his only kit. As far as he knew. "I'm gonna kill him..." Tears began falling down James's cheeks like a waterfall. "Peppy I know what my son's jet looked like... that was him that was my baby! I'm gonna RIP THAT GOD DAMN APES HEART OUT MYSELF!"

Meanwhile, Fox was in hand to hand combat with Andrew; not blown to smithereens like his father thinks.

"Foxy? Was that you? Oh please, please tell me that wasn't you!"

Fox smirked. "Yes and No, I wasn't in it."

A sigh of relief left Falco as he leaned back in his jet. "Don't fuckin scare me like that, Foxy, I thought they'd gotten you."

Alas, Fox couldn't answer again. Using his elbow, Fox pounded into Andrew's gut before smashing his gun into his head knocking the ape out cold. "Bunny lets go I gotta get you to safety!"

James was the Lividest he'd ever been, fighting through enemies like it was a shooting game set on easy. He grabbed a man using his knee to break his back following a blast to his head; Grabbing the next one he spun him around dipping him down with one arm in a bridle style choke hold and put a bullet in his skull. He was determined to kill every last soldier in Andros's army until he got to that ape; He was hungry for revenge.

Peppy wasn't far behind in the anger scale and was also killing men back to back; these two were the most dangerous war veterins on corneria and they were proving it will each body added to their kill count.

Lifting his gun peppy landed a blast on a cats head, not even giving them a look. "42." He added to his kill count.

James, also seeing an enemy shot a bullet; the bullet flew through four different eneimes. "52, 53, and 54."

Fox ran down the steps with bunny dashing out the door. "Where to hide you? Damn it seems as if there is an enemy in ever damn nook and cranny of this city."

Fox heard blasts growing closer and shoved behind him. He saw the bullet coming. James and Peppy were so pissed they shot at anyone with a uniform. The star fox uniform looks nothing like the uniforms of the cornarian army and the last two Star Fox members were in the sky; James thought Fox was an enemy. The bullet tore through Fox's ribs like a meteor crashing into soil. Bunny's scream forced Peppy to turn his head and watch Fox fall back onto the ground.

"James no!" He screamed. "That wasn't an enemy that was one of ours!"

Recognizing whom he just shot James took of like a bolt of lightning; Going to his knees he skids across the gravel to Fox. "Fox, I thought you were dead!"

"It's okay dad, I know you didn't mean to." Fox forgave him as blood dripping from his lips like red wine.

"It's not okay I just shot my own kit!"

Slowly James picked his kit up into his arms. "Peppy cover me I'm sprinting to the great fox there are nurses using our med bay."

As peppy nodded James took off running like a bat out of hell. "It'll be okay baby, daddy's gonna fix you up I promise."

As Fox began losing consciousness James inwardly scolded himself. Shooting his own kit mentally hurt him more than anything; if Fox died it would be HIS fault, he would have killed his little boy.
