Chapter Ten
An Unexpected Turn
A/N: No! Another short chapter!

"That guy is a real bastard, I'd love to kick his teeth in." I claimed after the others had finished explaining who this Andross jerk is, we were on our way to the bridge as we talked, his last encounter over Sauria must have been pretty bad for him in the end if they thought he was dead… again.
"Don't worry, most of us here would love nothing more than to do that as well, I want him dead though." Fox stated darkly, ever since we saw Andross he has been acting out of character, I don't know what Andross had done to Fox in the past but it must have been something extremely bad if he is acting this dark towards everyone. We entered the bridge where ROB contacted Peppy on Fox's command, Peppy appeared on screen,
"Well considering we're not dead I presume that you stopped them?" Peppy asked,
"Yeah." Fox answered angrily,
"I know that tone, what's happened?" Fox didn't respond, he mumbled something under his breath,
"Well, we destroyed the human satellite partially, since it proved no threat to anything we decided to leave it." Krystal explained
"So that's why he is so ticked?"
"No, just before we were about to leave…"
"Yes?"
"…Andross showed up and destroyed the remainder of the satellite." Peppy was stunned, he didn't know what to say, he replied in a tone of desperation,
"Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure?" Krystal and Fox nodded, Peppy slammed his fist on the desk and swore, "Why won't he die?" he yelled, I slowly became intimidated of the hare now that he was extremely angry, he swore again, "This explains everything, and it changes everything. I am starting system wide patrols and surveillance, we have to find him or we are truly screwed." I now realized that this Andross person was no joke as he as gotten everyone apart from me worried. "What technology did he have?" Peppy asked,
"He had some sort of powerful cloaking device and radar avoiding technology." Slippy replied,
"Can you come up with something to counteract these devices Slip'?" Peppy asked,
"Maybe, but it'll take a lot of work, it might take me a while by myself." Slippy replied,
"Maybe my old friend can help?" Krystal suggested,
"Yeah, last I heard she was working on some devices that could help us out."
"Krystal get her over here and fast, we need some new radar technology fast, Peppy out." With the de-briefing over I decided to go freshen up, that battle had really made me sweat and tired out.

After I had freshened up I decided to go see what they had on the system's TV networks. I entered the room, much to my disliking Falco was there but wasn't asleep, he was watching some action movie. I tried to catch onto the storyline but I couldn't. After the movie (which was pretty lame in my eyes) I decided to wonder the halls instead of watching another movie. I was walking past the hanger doors when they opened; I turned my head to face a very tall tiger over seven feet, she appeared very strong, I raised my head to see her face, but instead I was greeted with a punch to the chest which winded me, I hunched over while I attempted to catch my breath, I then had an elbow to the back of the head, which darn near knocked me out, I fell down on my stomach, I was stunned, I couldn't move,
"Pfft, humans are such weak creatures." She growled, "What did I do?" I thought to myself, before I knew it I was dragged into a nearby storeroom; I eventually got up from the ground and tried to open the door, it was locked, god damn it, I leant back into the corner of the small room and waited for me to be discovered.
After ten minutes Fox who was with Krystal and the tiger who I could call a few names at this moment opened the door,
"Reece, are you okay?" Fox asked,
"Yeah." I replied,
"I'm sorry, I had no idea that you were apart of the team, you need to know that I thought you were invading the ship." The tiger explained,
"Yeah, I get that a lot."
"My name is Tigress Arcnon, nice to meet you Reece."
"Well we could have met on better terms but same to you." I could tell that she feeling a regret about her, "I presume that you're going to help Slippy make those radar thingies?"
"Yeah I specialize in that area of mechanics." Tigress replied, I still wasn't overly happy with Tigress, I understand it was a misunderstanding but the back of my head tells me other things, I walked off to hang around in my room while I tried to force myself into forgiveness for Tigress.

A/N: Lol another less than 100 word chapter… This was basically introducing the new character. Thanks to Kursed (From Starfox-Online) for letting me use Tigress Arcnon.
