Through A Wolf's Eyes
By: OzFox
Wolf sat alone in his quartes, gazing absentmindedly out the large glass window at the stars that surrounded him.
"Computer, what's today?" Wolf asked as he swiveled around in his chair.
The current date is July 23
Wolf let out a sigh and thought about how his life had become so cold and lifeless...
"Kara! Trevor! Come with me, we're leaving NOW!" Wolf yelled to his wife and son as he burst into the room.
"What's the matter, Wolfie?" She replied.
"Enemy ships are attacking the base, we must evacuate now!" The room gave of a red hue as emergency lights began flashing. The computer blaring the same message over and over.
Emergency! Emergency! Enemy Attack! All Personel Evacuate Base Immediatly!
"Father, what's happening?" Trevor's trembling voice asked..
"It's gonna be okay son, just follow me and stay close." The three bolted out the door and down the extensive hall to the escape shuttles. Wolf in the lead Kara and Trevor in tow. As soon as they were within eyesight of the ships, a violent explosion shook the base rupturing a gas pipeling, sending smoke billowing into the room, shrapnel splintering eveywhere. A jagged piece of metal catching Wolf in the eye sending him sprawling to the floor, blood coursing from the wound. He scrambled to his feet, scanning the area for his family. It was no use, the gas's dense haze made it imposible to see anything, but he didn't care, he was determined to find them.
"Trevor! Kara! Where are you!" He called out searching through the thick fog for them but he got no answer. He couldn't beleive they were dead. He wouldn't beleive it.
He refused to stop, he had to find them, they were everything to him. He wasn't going to give up.
"Kara where are you! Dammit, Answer me!" Wolf cried but only silence responded. A figure slowly emerged from the haze.
"WOLF! What are you doing here! Get out now!" the green chameleon yelled at him.
"I can't Leon, Kara and Trevor are still in here somewhere, I've gotta find them!"
"The reactor is going to go critical! If you don't leave now you'll all die!" he warned, running off down the darkened hallway toward the shuttles.
"Kara.....Trevor.....I...I'm.....I'm sorry..." As a mix of blood and tears ran down his face. He turned and ran as fast as his legs could carry him, sparks flying from the lights seering his fur, but he never looked back.
3.....2.....1......Liftoff The computer announced as the shuttle lifted off into the blackness of space. As the pod left the atmosphere Wolf caught a glimpse of one of the circling fighters out of the shuttle's window...
".......Starfox......."
After the shuttles arival at the Area 6 Defense station. Wolf was immediatly admitted to the medical ward. Where he was informed that he would never again have the use of his left eye. He didn't care though, all he could think about was Kara. He would never look into her beautiful azure eyes again, never hear her serene voice, or touch her soft white fur. And Trevor, he would never have the chance to become a pilot, never have the chance to grow up and experience life. All he could do was wonder why.
"Why them.....why me......why did they have to die?" he howled as he looked up to heaven for the answer.
"Who am I kidding, I've failed.....I said I'd protect them, and I failed!
"Wolf?" Leon asked entering the room.
"Huh?.....Oh...Uh....Leon." Wolf tried to control his emotions.
"Wolf, I'm so very sorry for what happened, to you and your family." A long silence followed, finally Wolf spoke.
"Leon?"
"Yes?"
"Have you ever lost someone you loved?"
"No, I've been alone for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a child."
"Oh...sorry."
"Wolf, I can't begin to imagine what you're feeling right now, but I want you to know I'm there for ya, no matter what path you choose."
"Thanks Leon. What do you plan to do now?"
"I can't just sit back and let them get away with this."
"Your right, we must make them pay for what they have done!"
"You know I'm with ya till the end Wolf. Let's do it! First though, we need a team. I don't think we can do it by ourselves."
"Your right, we'll need a team."
"But the question is; where to find someone with enough skill to fly with us."
"I'm sure there are enough pilots with that kind of skill. I'll get on it as soon as possible."
"Thank's Leon, we're gonna make them pay." he said as Leon turned and walked out the door.
"Computer, time is it now?" Wolf sighed, lighting a cigarette.
The current time is 1900 hours
He pulled a small photo from his vest pocket and stared at it. His family. Everyone was happy and smiling. On the left was Wolf with his sunglasses on his forehead and his arm around Kara next to him, she was about the same hight, her fur as white as snow, and her eyes like the ocean after a storm. Standing in front of them was their son Trevor. His sunglasses were just like his father's his fur a dusky gray exept for his ash gray face. It was Trevor's 10th birthday.
"Happy birthday son. I'll see you again someday. I promise." Wolf thought to himself as he put the picture back into his pocket, exhaling a ring of smoke.
"Wolf, I'm tracking the Great Fox entering sector Z." Leon spoke through the intercom.
"I'm on my way. I will not be beaten again. Now you will pay.......Starfox......" he swore as he extinguished the cigarette in an ashtray and walked out of the room.
