After just a few hours of sleep, Fox had awoken, to the beautiful morning that would end in blood shed; he got out of bed quietly, not wanting to awaken Miyu. He looked back to her, she slept peacefully, although; she didn't sleep with a happy expression on her face, she seemed troubled; today, was a big day. Perhaps the last they would ever live. He started the morning like he did with any other; brushing his teeth, taking a shower and getting dressed. Today, he dressed in the civilian like, Miyu had gotten up quietly, not talking to Fox. They didn't really know what to say to one another from last night's event.

Fox walked out of the room while Miyu prepared, and headed for Fay's door. He was about to knock, that is until Fay had opened it, revealing her already ready self, she quickly closed the door behind her, and nodded to the young vulpine in front of her, and headed for the kitchen. Fox walked back to his room, to find Miyu just getting out of the shower.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Fox made a nervous gesture, Miyu just smiled.

"It's alright." Fox closed the door and headed to the kitchen to join Fay. She was treating herself to some coffee. Fox got himself a large cup, he certainly needed the energy.

"Today's the big day." Fay talked to Fox quietly, he seemed nervous; they all were. They were to meet the others at the military base, to form up into their now complete Arwings, and the newly built Great Fox. Miyu quietly joined them after a while; it was about time to leave. They loaded up and headed out to the base. When they got their, it was a busy site; soldiers moving from one place to another, preparations being made. Peppy must have been preparing for the counter strike to Wolf and his team.

Fox and his group met everyone in the conference room, Falco and Katt; Slippy was their, Peppy stood next to two other men, both vulpine's, dressed in military uniforms. Peppy walked up to Fox.

"Hello Fox, let me introduce to you, the two men in charge of the strike force that will be assisting you." He stepped back, and the two vulpine's walked up to their commander for the fight.

"Hello Captain, I'm Cabal Stryker, leader of the Stealth Force." He gave Fox a sturdy handshake and stepped back so the other young vulpine could introduce himself.

"Sir, Lieutenant Hunter McKee, pleasure to meet you Captain."

"Like wise Lieutenant." He turned to Cabal. "What's the status?"

"The Star Wolf team had arrived at the battle site at 1030 hours, just half an hour ago. They immediately sent a message to the base, wondering where you were at, we told them you would arriving shortly."

"Al right then, how many of them is their?"

"Their was five ships in the bunch is what the radar said, but due to the information we had gathered from you're message, had sent a sniper squadron to investigate their landing zone, they noticed cloaked ships behind the team, just like you had said their would be."

"How many?"

"We couldn't identify an exact amount, but their seem to be several hundred ships. I'm sorry sir, but the Stealth Force isn't large enough to take on such a mass number, but we will assist you in anyway we can. The Stealth Force is made up of highly trained pilots, who could take on multiple enemies at one time, and the ships are state of the art."

"Very good Commander, how many is their of you?"

"There are two hundred of our standard ships and fifty of our advance fighters. The Lieutenant here has one hundred of his Silent Squad of ships. We should be more of a match for Wolf and his gang."

"Good work." He turned to Peppy. "It's time."

"You're right." He turned to the other two vulpine's. "Cabal, Hunter. It's time, tell your men to gear up, and get moving, silently to the site." They each saluted the general.

"Sir!" They stated, and ran out of the room to there station. Peppy turned back to the men and women around him; this was their moment of truth.

"Follow me to you're ships, and the Great Fox." Peppy lead them outside, to a rather large concealed hanger. The site was busy around them, as soldiers and pilots ran to their battle positions, ready to assist the Star Fox team if need be. Peppy walked over to a small computer and typed in a code, and the doors came to life and rose to the top. Their she was, the most advance air-craft carrier ever made, the Great Fox. It was sleek, new, advanced, The Star Fox emblem painted on the side, with a black III sign under it, to represent its new form.

To the side, were their Arwings, Mark III. It was a sweet sight, instead of their traditional Blue and silver design, it was new. They had a black streak added, down their wings, with the dominant color as silver. Each one was designed for their pilot, with advance targeting system; Hydromantic cooling systems, and deadly laser battery's, it was almost an assassins tool.

"Are those are Arwings?" Falco asked Peppy, it wasn't a dumb question; they just didn't have the Star Fox look to them.

"They are their just new. Designed for combat, their movements are precise and deadly. An amateur in one of these is a close equal, for us, they are the tool of death." Fox looked over to Peppy, cocking an eyebrow.

"Us?"

"Yes Fox, us. I'm here for you; I won't just stand aside and let these intruders threaten my son. I'll only launch if you need back up, I'll be manning the Great Fox. Fay and Slippy will be taking control of the turrets, and launch also if necessary."

"Al right then." Fox paused to look at their equipment, and stepped up to the Great Fox, to gaze in its elite design. He looked over to his team; these were the people he trusted with his life, and the people who would stick by them till the end. His wrist communicator went off, to his surprise.

"Hello?"

"Captain, this is Cabal. We have arrived at the battle site, the Star Wolf team is still waiting for you, I suggest you hurry sir."

"Oh right, Thank you Commander." The audio transmission ended. And he turned to his team. "Let's get a move on."

"Go on ahead in the Arwings, I'll stay behind and get the Great Fox their soon." Peppy walked up to Fox, and set a paw onto his shoulder, then walked over and made the necessary preparations to load his Arwing into the Great Fox. Fox turned to the rest of his team.

"Let's move!" They immediately dispersed, and headed to each of their individual Arwings, and manned the controls. Fox climbed into his, and brought up his targeting screen, the status of all his comrades came up in the right side of his screen all saying at 100% status. He manned the controls and played around with them as his Arwing started to rise up into the air, the movements were so precise, anything could be done in a heart beat.

"All wings, report in;"

"Falco here, ready to go."

"Fay in, ready to move."

"Slippy here, all systems are green."

"Katt, standing by."

"Miyu here, locked and loaded."

"Great Fox, tuning in."

"Activate G-Diffusers. Let's hear those engines roar." As they turned on their diffusers, their engines came to life, all ready to head out.

"Move!" Fox headed out, followed by them all close by, he played in his new Arwing for a moment, and it would only take a couple of minutes to reach the battle site. After he had gotten the feeling of his new Arwing, their battle site came into view, half barren, half grassland.

"Land here." Fox stopped his Arwing, where soon everyone else did so; they saw five figures standing in a circle below the ground, and the five Wolfen's behind them. They all made a steady landing, and powered down their ships. Their hatches flew open, and each one of them landed to the ground, they huddled up and walked to Wolf and his group.

"Well well, so the kit showed up after all." Wolf peered to Fox, glaring him down. "Ready to end this once and for all?"

"Save you're threats Wolf, this ends now." Fox quickly looked over to Krystal, she had a strong figure pose, but he knew on the inside she had submitted before this fight had even started. He noticed the artic wolf next to Wolf, known as Reaver; who Fox didn't know, was actually the leader of the pirates that Wolf had hired for this fight.

"So, you ran off to join Wolf and his crew Krystal? That's low, even for you." Fay stated out loud, of all the people Krystal could have went to, she decided to go to their own rivals. Krystal tried to speak for herself, but couldn't Wolf just took her up.

"She did what she had to do, and nothing more to ensure you die on this day."

"Save it, you're not the one I'm interested in."

"Oh, would that be me, my dear?" Panther stepped up to Fay, and puckered his lips, only to receive a hard slap into the face.

"No not you, that sorry excuse for a lizard is who I'm interested in." she pointed over to Leon, who was infuriated by the comment.

"You got a lot of nerve to talk to me like that." He pulled out a blaster and pointed it to Fay, who immediately pulled out one of her own, one by one. Everyone had a blaster pointed at somebody else.

"Enough, let's get this over with." Fox had put away his blaster, along with Wolf; they took control of their teams, and dispersed to their fighters. Only Fox and Krystal hadn't moved from their spot, Miyu noticed this and looked over to the two, just looking at one another. Fox stepped up to Krystal, she was almost afraid of what he was going to do. that is, until she looked into his emerald gaze, and saw the sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry; it has to be this way." He spoke softly to her, but words didn't mean much now, it was too late for that.

"Save you're pity." She walked away from him, putting on a strong act, but it didn't fool Fox; not after the message of last night, she tried to show her strength for Wolf and his team, so they wouldn't find out that she actually had ratted them out of their surprise attack. Fox started walking back to his Arwing as Wolf looked over to Reaver.

"Reaver, you know what to do."

"Right." He played with his wrist communicator, telling the other pirates to start heading over from their hidden spot, quickly and quietly. Fox talked into his own.

"Peppy, it's time. Raise the planet shields."

"Roger." After a moment, a loud rumble appeared all across the plains, everyone looked up; wondering what that was, until they noticed the force field around them, forming a cage like figure. They all took a moment to soak this all in; and breathed deeply, the final moment. This was it, their was no escape.
