Macbeth: Bill and Katt approached the planet from the dark side and swept around headed toward the sixth moon

Macbeth: Bill and Katt approached the planet from the dark side and swept around headed toward the sixth moon. On the way across Bill was scanning the planets surface when he noticed a large crater in the planets surface.

"That's odd," he said.

"What?" asked Katt.

"There's a large crater on the planets surface," said Bill.

"Oh that," said Katt laughing.

"What?" said Bill.

"That was a Venom fuel bunker. I helped the Star Fox team blow it up," she said.

"How?" Bill asked.

"We had just arrived there from Zoness since some of the spotlights had discovered us. In fact why don't I show you," she said.

"Well we should find the team," said Bill. Katt's ship broke off through the atmosphere.

"I shouldn't follow," began Bill when suddenly Pepper's words flashed through his mind. Then his ship followed in pursuit. At first he couldn't find her ship then he saw her floating over a piece of train track.

"Katt," he said. A silent sobbing came over the comm. Bill positioned his ship right next to hers and saw her rubbing her eyes.

"Anyone there," he asked. Katt looked up and and shook her head.

"Is that a no?" asked Bill.

"I'm okay, I just reminisced about the team. I can't believe that they're gone," she said.

"Look! I knew the team a lot okay. But I know that crying gets you nowhere. So snap out of it!" yelled Bill. Katt eyes filled with rage.

"Good now convert that rage into intensity for finding the team," said Bill.

"Yeah," she said.

"Let's go," said Bill. His ship took off and was immediately pursued by Katt's. However, trouble was brewing a few planets away.

Sector X: Several Venom battlecruisers were drifting by near a large military base. Also, over a thousand fighters were cruising in and out of the base and the cruisers. Inside the base were several soldiers running back and forth across several hallways in their busy routes. One lieutenant walked into a main area with four raised seats and multiple videoscreens showing screens of all of the action.

"Sir," said the technician. The three chairs spun around revealing Star Wolf, Leon, and Pigma Dengar. The fourth member of the team had died three years ago on Venom.

"What is it?" growled Star Wolf.

"Sir, you asked me to inform you when the Star Fox team had awakened," he said.

"Excellent," he said. Star Wolf got up and walked to the prison chambers where the Star Fox team lay in a prison cell.

"Greetings Fox," said Star Wolf. Fox got up and stared straight into Star Wolf. (now referred to as wolf)

"Ha, ha, ha. Do your worst because you're our prisoners," continued Wolf.

"What do you plan on doing with us?" asked Peppy.

"The same thing that happened to Fox's father. Torture than slow death," Peppy cackled. Fox lunged at the bars.

"I'll never suffer the same fate as my father!" he yelled.

"Now, now, that's no way to treat your torturer," said Leon. Fox just growled. Suddenly another technician ran up to them.

"Sirs, urgent news from our spies on Corneria. Apparently, the team sent a distress call before the wormhole opened and brought them here. General Pepper acted on this and sent two operatives to investigate," said the technician.

"This wasn't supposed to happen. That only complicates matters," said Wolf. He yanked out his gun and shot the technician who died then and there. Fox started laughing.

"No matter. Leon deal with this insolence," said Wolf. Leon nodded and left.

The sixth moon of Macbeth. Bill and Katt flew right towards it when suddenly Katt's scanners went off.

"Bill, are you detecting that ship in orbit?" she asked.

"Yeah, I don't know where it came from but they may have some answers," she replied. The two ships continued down to the planets surface.

"Do you have anything that could account for why they came here?" asked Bill.

"Only thing is a monastery," Katt replied.

"I guess that will have to do. Let's set down," said Bill. Their two ships landed outside the monastery and were greeted by a puma standing up straight.

"Hello, my name is Amup, how can I help you?" he asked.

"Hi, we're looking for friends of ours named Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Peppy," said Katt.

"Oh yes! They were here, but they're not here now," said Amup.

"Yeah well they disappeared shortly after being here," said Katt.

"We had nothing to do with it. As you can see we are mostly simple folk. But please do come in, we love to hear about the outside world in a manner of speaking," said Amup.

"Right… Anyway, we would like to know what they were doing here," said Katt.

"All in good time," Amup said. The three of them walked into the monastery temple.

Macbeth. A full squadron of Venom fighters emerged from an artificial wormhole into the orbit of the planet.

"Looks like they headed for the sixth moon," said Leon. The whole squadron took off in that direction.

Monastery. "As much as I dislike to say this, I can't tell you what our discussion was about. Thanks a lot and please stay as long as you like," said Amup who walked off. Bill and Katt stood around dejected. Then Bill observed someone unscrewing all of the lightbulbs. Bill yanked out his gun and pointed it at the stranger.

"Don't move," said Bill. The stranger stood up and faced them.

"Is there a problem here," said the stranger (a red wolf).

"Yeah, you're stealing," said Katt.

"Who me? No, you've got it all wrong. I service this place for Firefly light systems," he said.

"Who are you?" asked Bill.

"My name's Jake," came the response.

"What I minute, I know you. You're the mercenary Jake Thomas," said Katt.

"Yeah okay you got me. Look I'm trying to start over, please don't turn me in," said Jake.

"Only if you help us," said Bill.

"Okay," Jake said.

"Let's go," said Bill. Suddenly Jake's palm pilot went off. He activated it and looked at the screen.

"That's odd," said Jake.

"What?" asked Bill and Katt, together.

"You are not going to believe this, I don't believe it, but we have Venom units approaching," said Jake.

"No joking, let me look," Katt said. She looked and saw the feed. All the color drained from her face.

"We have to go now!" she exclaimed. The three of them raced down the hallways. Jake peeled off.

"I need to get to my ship," he said. Bill and Katt ran outside. They jumped into their ships and took off away from the monastery just as Jake's fighter blasted away from the monastery following them. They left the atmosphere and saw the fleet approaching. Immediately they fired some of their bombs at Jake's ship which promptly blew up.

"They'll pay for that. No one destroys my property and lives," said Jake.

"Forget it. We need to stick together and escape," said Bill.

"You don't have any bombs do you?" asked Katt.

"No I don't," admitted Bill. Then an aging Arwing came into view.

"Attention partner. Friend or foe?" asked Jake.

"Friend," came the reply. Immediately a bomb flew out destroying a section of the fleet and immediately boosted out.

"You coming?" the pilot answered. Jake, Bill, and Katt all took off through the opening following the Arwing pilot.

"Quick enter light speed and head for Titania. Hopefully the energy storms should hide us," said the pilot. The whole team entered lightspeed.

1 hr. later: The ragtag fleet of Bill, Katt, Jake, and the mysterious fighter entered the atmosphere of Titania. After battling a few storms the four ships scarred with minor damage enter a large cave and set down. They all hop out of their crafts and approach the center of them.

"Thanks friend," said Jake. The pilot removes his helmet and it turns out he's a fox.

"Greetings. My name is James," he said.

"Hi, I'm Bill from the Cornerian Defense Force, this is special agent Katt, and mercenary Jake," said Bill.

"Charmed," James said.

"What were you doing there?" asked Katt.

"I was attempting to locate the Star Fox team," came the response.

"Really, so were we. How would you like to join us?" asked Bill.

"Maybe I will. In the meantime why don't we stay here since we those Venomian units will be back," said James. Together they all set up camp and prepared to stay there for the night.
