Yes, I know I have been gone and deleted my old stories because I cringe at looking at them myself but I really hope to continue this one story. I gotten into reading Fanfics a lot again recently, always wanted to make one that was good. Been busy with school, looking for a job, a lot of testing and time goes by hella quickly. I like to write these at night because that's when my ideas come from and I just like the quietness of night after everyone is asleep. Besides from that, I hope you enjoy.
"Fox what is the mission?" Krystal asked Fox.
Fox looked back to see a Blue Fox walking up towards him while he was looking into the mission details sent by Cornernian government.
"General Pepper has sent us to check out unknown signals emitting from outside the Lylat System, They seem to be from an artificial origin like if someone is sending them."
Ksystal nodded her head but the doors behind them slide open and both of the foxes turned around to see Peppy, Falco and slippy, all entering.
"Alright Fox, I have tracked that the signal is coming from a planet and getting ready for opening a Wormhole, just waiting for your approval." Explained Slippy with his headache inducing voice.
Fox nodded his head than pressed a button to talk to R.O.B, "R.O.B, get the Great Fox ready for open a wormhole."
"Fox are you certain? Using a wormhole at such distance poses a risk of the wormhole becoming unstable and could lead to the Great Fox becoming severely damaged beyond repair" ROB questioning the use of using a wormhole.
"Than how else are we gonna get over there Toaster thing?" Falco sadistically asked ROB while getting a small slap by Peppy to get Falco to act his age.
"We could place everyone in the cryogenic pods to save supplies and I will plot the Great Fox in direction of the planet, which by my calculations take around 2 weeks." ROB suggested getting sighs from everyone as cryogenic sleep was an good idea but the aftermath of waking up involved weakened legs, muscle fatigue, headaches and generally feel like shit, which gets worse the longer the person is in cryogenic.
"Quit your complaining, everyone put on your cryogenic suits and lets get some rest, you guys look like you need some." Peppy said in an annoyed manner.
Krystal and Fox looked at each other than headed together towards the dressing room.
CHANGING INTO CRYOGENIC SUITS LATER
Fox entered the cryogenic pod station before anyone but heard the door opened to see Krystal with a tight suit on, making the curves of her body easy to see. Fox began to blush but luckily, fur covers them.
"Are you ok Fox? Is there something on my suit?" Krystal questioned as Fox been staring at her while looking down on herself for anything.
Fox snapped out of his little fantasies. "Nothing, it's nothing Krystal. Just not too excited about this."
Krystal was about to say something when everyone else entered.
"Alright let's get this over with, it'll seem like a few seconds of sleep than we all be back awake" Peppy told everyone than slowly got in the Pod first.
Fox and Ksystal hold paws together before climbing into their Pods and stared into each other's eyes as the pod doors sealed shut.
"Cryogenic will begin in 3..2..1" ROB's voice said through the speakers and within a few seconds Team Starfox were frozen and asleep.
*MEANWHILE ON THE UNKNOWN PLANET*
"Been three fucking days and no reply" Elijah said to himself while sitting on his campsite, holding an transmitter checking if it's even sending out an signal. Than he reaches into his backpack to pull out an MRE for himself.
"Why did I even think this was a good idea, I could be home hooking up with girls, getting drunk but nooo, I signed up to explore this god forsaken planet for intelligent life? I seen nothing but rocks and sand. I wasn't even intelligent enough for this mission." All he seen was some animal life which looks very similar to those on Earth but nothing too special.
Elijah tossed his transmitter on the floor, started a fire with some bushes he find, and opened up the MRE. As he ate his food he begins thinking this planet could be his funeral and they'll come just to see his corpse rotting away.
After he finished his food, he puts out the fire and packs up his stuff and begins traveling the unknown lands of more rocks and sand. Checks rifle in hand, fully loaded.
Few hours of constant traveling is really taking a toll on his feet and with night setting in, he thinks he should set up his tent and sleep through the night and repeat.
"Call me Lewis and Clark but without the Clark part" He said to himself before falling asleep.
*BACK ON THE GREAT FOX*
Every cryogenic pods opened simultaneously, waking everyone up from their deep slumber but feeling dizzy, cold and nausea.
"Don't worry, the symptoms you are experiencing are completely normal after being Cryogenically frozen." ROB said but no one listening.
"I hope we never never do that again guys" Slippy said before swallowing down something.
"Yeah what the frog said" Said Falco grabbing his jacket to warm him back up.
Fox shaked off some ice left in his fur and looked out a nearby window to see a Desert looking Planet. Krystal follows behind and looks out the window with Fox and brushes some ice off his neck.
"That must be the place where those signals are coming from" Krystal asked Fox but instead ROB answers her question.
"Yes Krystal, I am currently tracking where on the Planet it's coming from but there seems to be a thick cloud of sand and dust, We must land on the Planet, Shall I land the Great Fox Mccloud"
Fox looked at Krystal than back to ROB with a nod which ROB headed back towards the cockpit.
"Alright everyone change back into your clothes and meet up at the Main Room for debriefing." Pepper ordered everyone while everyone including himself limbed out.
One by one everyone came in for debriefing. Fox placed some documents on the table which he explained to everyone. The signals seem to be used with radio signaling. Very old form of communication, it's slow, weakens over time and distance. When they received it on Corneria, it was barely picked up by their grids.
"Whatever is sending those signals isn't very advanced, and with those thick clouds I'm surprised it even escaped the Planet and to Corneria." Slippy said when ROB once again talked out the speakers.
"We are entering into the atmosphere, prepare for incoming turbulence."
Fox looked away from the speaker and back at everyone. "Ok once we land we'll begin tracking where these came from and investigate. Also bring some firearms, we don't know what we could come across. Alright go get your equipment ready."
