StarFox: Eden

"Is that all you got?" the radio buzzed as the sleek arwing dipped out of Wolf's
view.
"Damn you Fox." He cursed, searching franticly around the craft for his target.
"Better luck next time Wolf." The green crosshairs flashed red as a charged particle blast
made its way swiftly towards the wolfen fighter.
"Wolf, break hard right!" Leon yelled through the static as the green orb sailed past Wolf's
ship, clipping the lower left wing in the process. Leon decided it was time to make his move on Falco,
barreling through two volly's of laser fire he pulled a backflip to drop in behind the bird,
finger on the trigger.
"Come on, come on, lock." the green frame became increasingly large until it began it's
transition to red.
"Game, set, and....." The cabin suddenly filled with a pulsating red light.
"What the hell?! both engines! Have I been hit?" He searched around for his assailant and
watched Fox accelerate past him.
"Come on baby, work with me here. Damnit, I said work!" Both engines had gone critical and shut down as
the craft began its rapid course towards the ground.
"Leon, eject! Get out of there!" Wolf screamed into the radio.
"I'm trying, nothing's responding, work you piece of shit! Work!"
"Leon!" He cried as the ship sprialed into an array of fire and metal. Only then did the
Other's turn from thier own conflict to notice the fireball burning on the surface.
"Oh, hell..." Andrew mummbled as he watched Wolf land near the crash site, the remainder of
the team close behind.
"OK team, we've done enough damage for one day. lets go home." Fox ordered as the hyperdrive engaged, rocketing
them out of the gravitational pull of Fortuna.
"Leon, where are you?!" Wolf called as he dug through the mass of smoldering metal and wires.
At that moment, everything flooded back into his mind, the memories, his eye, his wife, his son all came crashing down
on him. A nightmare he was cursed never to awaken from.
"Oh God!" Grasping his head and falling to his knees as he looked the sky. "Why? What have I done
to deserve this? Answer me, damnit!" His head fell as he buried it in his paws.
"Why.....Why....Why?" He choked in between sobs. Through the tears he noticed a small scrap of material
lying amongst the rubble. Reaching for it he recognized the StarWolf insignia printed on
the small strip of cloth. Tucking it silently inside his flight suit as Pigma and Andrew came running up beside
him.
"Wolf, I...." Pigma began but was cut off before he could finish.
"Get..away..from..me.." Wolf said flatly walking past them and climbing into his wolfen fighter before engaging the engines
and shooting off into the blackness of space.
His comrades stood in silence as they watched their vulpine leader shoot off into the distance.
"What do we do now?" Andrew asked, looking to Pigma for an answer.
"Honestly, I don't know." He said shaking his head as both returned to their ships....
