It's finally proofread.
I hope you enjoyed my very first story.
I should be writing more, most under movies and then Godzilla.
Corneria: The HQ building for the Cornerian Army was
bustling with activity. Gen. Pepper hurried
down the corridor towards a top secret elevator. He went inside and slid his keycard through a slot.
"Sublevel-6," he said to the
elevator. The elevator zoomed to life and
started zooming down to the lowest level of the building. The doors opened and Pepper walked out into
a room full of bustling technicians and other Generals sitting around a
rotating table.
"Sorry for being late," Pepper said.
"Sit down General," said Gen.
Powell.
"What's our contingency plan?"
Pepper asked.
"We were never prepared for an
invasion like this so soon. We were
expecting them to travel through conventional means not through a wormhole,"
said General Hendricks.
"What about project X," said Pepper.
"Out of the question," said Powell.
"Why not?" asked Pepper.
"If they people found out that we
spent a good portion of their money on several surface to atmosphere laser
cannons they'd go crazy," said Powell.
"Corneria is more important," said
Pepper.
"It makes no difference. Besides the whole system hasn't been field
tested," said Hendricks.
"Now's a good a time as any," said
Pepper.
"No and that's final," said Powell.
"Well then I guess we'll have to
rely on Katt and Bill," said Pepper.
"Ha, ha, ha, I don't think so. We have amassed a fleet of ten starships and
100 fighters to combat this menace," said Powell.
"I still don't think that will be
enough to combat them," said Pepper.
"We shall see," said Powell.
Sector Z: "Thanks for the help Dan but we have to go," said Bill.
"I'm coming with you," he said.
"Why?" asked James.
"If Corneria falls then so will the
Lylat system and that means that my business is done for. If Venom reigns supreme then I'll have to
deal with tougher inspection agents meaning goodbye smuggling," said Dan.
"I don't know if that's good or bad
to know but if you want to fight then you're fine by us," said Bill. The five of them (Dan, Bill, Katt, James,
and Jake) ran to the hanger bay. They
all entered their ships and prepared for takeoff. Then their ships blasted off.
"Prepare for warp," said Dan. Instantly their engines started warming up.
"Warp jump in five, four, three,
two, one, activate," said Dan. The
ships blasted away from Sector Z at incredible speeds.
Sector Z: "How much longer?" asked Wolf at the bridge of the main Venom
battlecruiser with Andross' face painted on the front.
"Not much longer," said Pigma. Through the main viewscreen it showed five
freighters venting neutron particles straight into each warp gate. (Maybe more, I can't remember how many gates
there were. Just figure each gate has a
freighter venting particles into it)
"Activate the fleet wide con
system," said Wolf.
"Done," said Pigma.
"This is StarWolf, we are about to
enter the most vicious battle in our lives.
We must remain strong and follow Andross's dreams. That Corneria will fall to the supreme
rulers of VENOM!" he said. Cheers were
heard over the comm. system.
"Sir, the freighters are done," said
Pigma.
"Prepare to enter the warps," said
Wolf. The fleet pushed forward as it
entered the warps.
Behind the fleet the five fighters exited
warp from Sector X.
"We're too late. Look," said Bill. The first part of the fleet had already entered the warp.
"Now what? Corneria is doomed," said Katt.
"Never give up, trust your
instincts," said James. He gunned his
engines and flew off towards the disappearing battlefleet.
"You're crazy. FOR CORNERIA!" yelled Bill taking off as
well.
"I would rather die than live under
Venom's control," said Katt blasting off as well.
"Well Jake let's go as well," said
Dan.
"For what?" asked Jake.
"So dishonest trade can keep
existing," said Dan.
"It's as good a reason as any," said
Jake. Their two ships also blasted off
towards the warp.
The ships reached the end of the
fleet, which was just about in the warp.
Bill started blasting at the remaining ships, which then proceeded to
scatter.
"Let them go, we have to get to
Corneria and help the fleet," said Bill.
"Where is the Starfox team?" asked
Katt. A Venom fighter flew into
formation with them.
"They're on the main battlecruiser,"
said the pilot over the comm.
"Why should we trust you?" asked
Dan.
"My name is Greg Parlow. I was assigned to infiltrate the Venom units
and pose as a regular fighter pilot. I
work for the covert ops department of the Cornerian Army," came the response.
"How do we know you're for real?"
asked Katt.
"Contact General Pepper. But in the meantime we have to enter the
wormhole before it closes," said Greg zooming off flying through the warp gates
and disappearing through the last one.
Then the rest of them flew through the warps and entered the wormhole as
it closed behind them.
Coneria, Underneath the military HQ
building: The viewscreen showed a large
bright light shining through space.
"Scanners confirmed. It is an artificial wormhole and has to be
Venomian because our attempts at making artificial wormholes have failed," said
Hendricks.
"How many ships?" asked Pepper.
"We'll know when they emerge," said
Hendricks.
"Order the fleet to approach the
light but don't enter," said Powell.
All of the fighters converged on the light with the starships not too
far behind.
"How many ships now?" asked Pepper.
"150 fighters, twelve
battlecruisers. That's all the remaining
battlecruisers from sector Y and all of the fighters from Katina and some from
Fortuna the rest will be here shortly," said Hendricks.
"How many will that bring us to?"
asked Powell.
"175," responded Hendricks.
"What about the one's from Zoness?"
asked Pepper.
"They won't get here in time," said
Hendricks.
"What now?" asked Pepper.
"We hope for the best but expect the
worse," said Hendricks.
Wormhole: "I never expected a wormhole to look like this," said Katt. The wormhole was full of powerups, multiple
bogeys (not from the fleet, you know, the ones you see when you enter the warp
in StarFox64), and a lot of obstructions.
"My first time as well," said
Bill. Ahead of them the Venom
battlefleet was still surging forward.
"Can we stop them?" asked Katt.
"Impossible this warp is almost
over," said James.
Corneria: "Here they come," said Lt. Grand who was leading the large
squadron of fighters. Instantly
hundreds of Venom fighters emerged from the warp firing on the Cornerian fleet. Instantly all of the ships scattered.
"Stick together and take out the
stragglers," said Grand. The fighters
jerked left and right each firing.
Several Venom fighters went down but more waves kept poring out of the
wormhole.
"This is not good," said someone
over the comm.
"Keep fighting, Corneria and the
Lylat system are counting on us," said Grand.
Then the battlecruisers began firing on each other. Several more fighters fell on both
sides. Then a Cornerian battlecruiser
exploded and an opening appeared to Corneria and several fighters flew towards
it along with several landing crafts.
"Ships 29-72 go after them," said
Grand. A wave of Cornerian fighters
took off after them.
"Waves 7-9 concentrate your
firepower on battlecruiser X-7. Wave 10
give them some cover and the rest of you keep taking out those fighters," said
Grand. A Cornerian fighter exploded
nearby.
"Watch yourselves," he concluded.
Wormhole: "Here's the end. Prepare for realspace," said Dan. Instantly their fighters were thrown out of
the wormhole and into the midst of the battle.
Ahead of them Greg's ship suddenly exploded.
"Greg!" yelled Katt. Instantly a new fighter appeared in the
middle of the explosion.
"I'm still here, I just had to
change my ship back to its regular form.
I don't want to be taken down by our side," Greg said quickly before chasing
after a Venom fighter lasers firing.
"Let's take 'em all out," said
Katt. Their ships scattered firing on
the enemy.
"This is Commander Bill of the
Katina defense force. Who's in charge
here?" Bill asked.
"This is Lt. Grand I'm in charge
here. Welcome Commander to the battle,"
said Grand. This time a Venomian
battlecruiser exploded.
"Whoaa," said Bill.
"Get used to it because you'll be
seeing a lot more of them," said Grand.
Corneria City. The whole city was under siege from fighers
and rolling robots. They started
pushing over buildings and trampling over trees and roads. A squad of troops rushed out amidst the
chaos and started setting up laser cannon mortars. They fired the mortars at a passing by robot, which subsequently
exploded. Nearby a tank rolled by and
started firing at the Venom fighters.
It took down three of them before a new wave flew by obliterating
it. The troops still kept firing at
nearby robots until they ran out of ammunition.
"Fall back," said one of them. They started running off when a Venom tank
rolled by and fired killing all of them before proceeding to fire at the nearby
buildings. Above them Venom and
Cornerian fighters were in heated combat.
Katt's ship flew by destroying a couple of fighters before taking some
hits.
"Sorry boys but my new molecular
shielding can take more than that," she said.
She brought her ship around and fired destroying three more. Then the flaming wreck of a Cornerian fighter
flew overhead slamming into a building causing it to fall over crushing a Venom
robot.
"Attention Cornerian fighters, this
is Katt of the Zoness defense force.
I'm taking control of the planetary bound fighters. I want half of you to concentrate on the
ground units and the rest on fighters," said Katt. Looking down she saw a squad of troops surrounded by robotic
tanks. She swooped down with two
Cornerian fighters and they destroyed the tanks. However, one of the fighters collided with a Venomian fighter and
both of the fighters hit the ground hard.
"Keep firing," she said.
Outer Space: The battle was still fever pitched with
dozens of fighters all firing at each other causing the darkness of space to
really light up. Bill raced by the
wreckage of an HVC-10 unit (an updated version on the robot that appears at the
end of Sector X). There were still
three more swinging madly at Cornerian fighters. A hatch opened on a Venom battlecruiser as three missiles flew
out.
"Missiles approaching from cruiser
X-9," said Bill. James Arwing swung in
front of Bill's.
"Shall we?" James asked.
"My pleasure," responded Bill. They both fired destroying one of the
missiles before a wave of Venom fighters forced them to break off.
"No, the cruiser," said Bill. The missiles were about to hit the cruiser
when Jake and Dan flew by destroying the remaining two.
"Thank goodness," said Bill.
"Which ship is the main cruiser?"
asked James. Greg's ship flew behind
them picking off their pursuers.
"That large ship with the Andross'
face on it," said Greg.
"Is there anyway on board it?" asked
James.
"They only way I know off is to
destroy their primary shield generator.
However, you would have only a few seconds to enter the ship through the
main bay. If you even got that far, the
bay is full of Venom soldiers," said Greg.
"Then I can't go in alone. I need someone to accompany me," said James.
"I will," said James.
"You, why?" asked Bill.
"It's time I did something
worthwhile in my life. Now let's move,"
he responded. The four fighters split
up into their two groups.
"Preparing to destroy the shield
generator," said Bill. He and Dan both
fired their bombs at the shield generator causing it to explode. Then Jake and James entered the hanger bay.
"Land now," said James. Both of their fighters hit the deck hard
driving everyone in the bay to their knees.
James leapt out of his ship onto the floor.
"Give me some cover," he said. Jake also leapt out firing with his laser
pistol at the pilots nearby before ducking behind his ship as they returned
fire.
Bridge of the Cruiser: An alarm rang
out across the bridge. Wolf spun around
on his chair in the middle of the bridge.
"What's going on?" he demanded.
"Two enemy ships have entered the
bay and our causing troubles," said Pigma.
Wolf activated a panel on his armrest showing Jake firing at the
Venomians.
"You said two ships right," said
Wolf.
"Yes. Why?" asked Pigma.
"Then why is their only one person
in the bay?" asked Wolf. Pigma just
shrugged his shoulders. Then something
occurred to Star Wolf.
"Oh no. They're going to free the Star Fox team," said Wolf.
"Should I send troops to the cells?"
asked Pigma.
"No! I'll take care of this myself," said Wolf walking to the
elevator.
Corneria surface: Katt and the ground forces were quickly
being overwhelmed by the Venomian units since they had lost over half of the
original fighters sent to protect the surface.
Katt keyed her comm. system.
"General we're being massacred out
here, can't you do something," said Katt.
Underneath the surface of the
planet: Gen. Pepper listened to Katt's
pleas for help.
"We have to use Weapon-X," said
Pepper.
"No," said Powell.
"Then I'll do it myself," said
Pepper. He walked over to the Weapon-X
console. He thrust his keycard in and a
button emerged. He pressed the button
and the console read: Weapon-X deployed.
Cornerian Surface: Segments of the
ground retracted as large laser cannons raised to ground level. The laser cannons aimed upward as they fired
on the Venomian units. On the surface
people started cheering as wave after wave of enemy ships were destroyed.
"Thanks General," said Katt.
In Outer Space: Dan and Bill kept
firing on the enemy. However, there
were no defense platforms in outer space so things were going pretty much
downhill up there.
"Grand, bogey on you tail," said
Dan. A Venom fighter had started firing
at Grand's spaceship. A shot hit him
straight in the engines as they shorted out he plummeted towards the planets
surface.
"Grand!" yelled Bill.
"Take care of the fleet for me. I'm gonna go out with a bang," he said. He maneuvered his ship and rammed headfirst
into a Venom battlecruiser. The ship
couldn't handle the damage and exploded.
Bill was shocked.
"He did what he had to do," said
Dan.
"Yeah and Venom will get theirs,"
said Bill.
"Excellent," said Dan.
"All fighters, let's end this
now! Open fire!" yelled Bill. All of the fighters started spitting out
lasers while mowing through dozens of fighters even though many were destroyed there
was still more.
Venom Battlecruiser: James ran down
the hallway firing at all who got in his way.
Eventually he reached the cell chambers. As he was about to enter he heard the click of a laser rifle.
"You're not going anywhere," said
Wolf. James turned around.
"I don't who you are or where you
came from. You're not letting them go,"
Wolf said. He fired at James but the
beam went right through him hitting the door.
"What theā¦.," said Wolf.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha. You can't hurt me because I'm not really here,"
said James.
"What?" asked Wolf.
"Thank Andross for this. When he killed me I was flung into a
parallel universe. I only appear if my
son is in danger. I will be gone just
as soon as he's free. Now as for you,
I've had enough of your insolence.
Goodbye StarWolf," said James.
He yanked out his gun and shot StarWolf. (Gruesome I know but it had to be done) He then stepped inside and entered the booth for the jail cells
overlooking the cells. He then pressed
the jail release button and the jail cells swung open. Then James started fading away into thin
air.
Jail Cells: As the cell doors opened
Fox and Co. just looked amazed. Then
Fox spoke out.
"Let's go!" he yelled. They all dashed out and ran off down the
hallway.
"Slippy, where is the hanger?" asked
Fox. Slippy accessed a panel and looked
at the readouts.
"Take the next left and straight
down the hallway," said Slippy. They
all took off running down the hallway.
On the way they passed the armory.
Running inside they quickly armed themselves before taking off
again. Suddenly the whole ship rocked.
"What's going on?" said Peppy.
Outer Space. The Zoness fleet had just arrived swaying
the tide of the battle in the Cornerians favor.
Back in the battlecruiser: Jake had just
run out of ammo and the Venomians were closing in. Suddenly a good portion of them dropped down dead as the Star Fox
team stormed the hanger blasters firing.
Jake ran out to join them. Falco
yanked out his rifle and pointed it at Jake.
"Who are you?" Falco demanded.
"I was sent here to rescue you,"
said Jake.
"So you freed us," said Slippy.
"Why yes I did," Jake lied.
"Thanks. No what should we do," said Fox.
Suddenly the whole ship turned around as the remainder of the Venomian
fleet turned to run away.
"We've to get out of here," said
Jake.
"How? Our ships are on the Great Fox," said Falco.
"Then take a Venomian ship," said
Jake.
"They'll destroy us," said Falco.
"Not if we rig a transponder to say
that we're from the Star Fox team," said Peppy.
"Yeah because only we know the exact
transponder readings," said Falco.
"Get moving because I'm outta
here. See you around," said Jake. He boarded his ship and took off. The Star Fox team took off and quickly
rigged their ships as the ship they were on entered warp.
"Well we won," said Dan.
"Yeah but the road to recovery won't
be easy. They've destroyed more than
1/3 of the planet. I'm afraid we'll
have to temporarily relocate the President and the rest of the government to
Katina temporarily. I'm afraid they may
have done a lot of damage. Even if they
didn't succeed they still came close," said Pepper.
"Let's go home," said Starfox. The remaining fighters headed towards
Corneria City but Jake and Dan's fighters flew off.
"Come join the party," said Bill.
"I'm a smuggler remember. I don't fit in with you people. It isn't right to party of the deaths of
thousands. Besides business calls,"
said Dan. His freighter emerged from
light speed, picked him up, and reentered light speed. Jake just flew away.
"I shouldn't be at the party
either. That's it, I'm going back to
Katina," said Bill. Katt's fighter flew
parallel to him.
"How's it going," she said.
"It's going and I'm going home. I still have to surf," he said.
"Yeah and I have to get back to the
detoxifying of Zonness' oceans," said Katt.
"It was fun," said Bill.
"Yes it was," replied Katt.
"We should do it again some time," said Bill.
"Yeah we should," said Katt.
"See you sometime in the future," Then together both
their ships entered lightspeed towards the future.
