STARFOX:
The End of Ages
Prologue:
In the calm quiet of a system far away from known culture, there was a great civilization. This system was called the Lylat system and was home to many a race and culture. This system had many planets, and a rich and varied history. All was not well in the system though. The system was on a brink of a massive civil war. The brilliant scientist Andross, a denizen of the planet Venom, was expelled from the Royal academy of the planet Corneria for his work with bio-weapons. He was banned to venom and kept in check from there. This did not bode well for the system, and the galaxy was kept in check by a small balance, if the balance was upset, the entire galaxy would be engulfed by civil war. During this time, a group of mercenary's, working for the Cornerian army, was sent on a reconnaissance mission to discover the plans of the scientist Andross. This group was called Starfox, led by the dashing James McCloud. His wing-mates included Pigma Dengar and Peppy Hare. During the mission, something went horribly wrong. Pigma had secretly been in contact with Andross. When he and his wingmates entered venom airspace, Pigma left the group. James and Peppy were ambushed by a massive army of Venomian starships. They valiantly held on to their lives, and they destroyed scores of Venomian troops. They had their enemies on the run, but then a darkness invaded the battle field. A dark machine, unlike anything they had ever seen was brought into the battle. They both knew they were no match for the insanely powerful craft. They both flew, flew as fast as they could. They could not outrun it though. The machine gathered the essence of everything around it, iridescent light emanating from it's core. Peppy was caught in the direct path of the beam. He would die if nothing was done. James with his last bit of heroism, used his own craft to knock Peppy's out of the way. Peppy watched his monitor, as his friends smiling, torn face came on for a split second. Then it was if the heavens themselves had come down on them. James starship was disintegrated instantly. Peppy had just enough energy in ship to limp back to Corneria. James was dead, and Peppy retired.
While this was happening, James son Fox making waves in the Royal academy. He broken upon the news of his father's death, but kept on at the academy despite his heartbreak. He was helped along by his best friend, Wolf O'donnell, and excelled. Then his last year of school came. Fox and Wolf were in there dorm room both sparring and practicing their hand to hand combat drills. There was a large explosion, and both Fox and Wolf ran out of their room, only to a see a gaping hole in the wall. Fox and wolf turned to face each other, both rapidly discussing what had happened. The last thing wolf saw was a laser aimed straight at his face seemingly materializing from Fox, his best friend. Wolf Blacked out, and Fox was left standing over the body of his friend. The assailant then left as quickly as he came, Fox brought out his training stun blaster and attempted to shoot him, but he was already gone. The next person to appear was the dean of the Academy. Fox was immediately detained despite his protests. Wolf came to his senses the next day, and was present at Fox's court-martial. He testified that Fox had shot him, having thought he had seen it. The judge made his statement right there, and Fox was expelled from the academy. This wasn't the thing that hurt Fox the most though, it was the look of loathing that his best friend had given him. Later that year, Fox's mother Vixy, was killed in a car explosion. The investigation declared it was a homicide, but nobody was ever convicted. Fox was alone. He was taken in by his father's best friend Peppy, and lived his life.
At the age of 19, Fox realized that he and Peppy needed money. Fox's skill with starship's and blasters, although not fully trained, were still almost without equal. Peppy knew this too, but was at a loss at what to do with it. Fox told Peppy that he was going to restart Star-Fox. He invited Peppy to become his wingman. Peppy at first declined, knowing that he was retired, and had no desire to relive the trauma that he had had with his father. Fox was persistent, and Peppy began to believe in the spry youngsters abilities. Yet he still would not join. He explained that they had no ships, no money, and they would need to have more people to join, in order to properly have a group. Fox was heart-broken. He kept his idea in mind though, and went on with his life, although he and Peppy still needed money. One day, Fox was wandering aimlessly down one of the many backstreets of Corneria. He saw a group of people gathered around a spectacle. Fox being the curious person that he was, decided to investigate. He walked around the edges of the crowd, and noticed that what they were watching, they weren't watching, they were a group of kids, beating up on another one, a frog. Fox Immediately jumped in against his better judgement. He managed to handle them for a little while, but they eventually dragged him down with sheer numbers. The next thing he saw was a flash of blue and red, and the kids all on their backs. Fox helped the kid up and looked at the person who had saved them. A falcon. He introduced himself as Falco Lombardi, and remarked that he wouldn't always be there to help them. He said it with a rather shifty smirk on his face. He noticed Fox as the genius pilot from the academy. Falco told him that he was something of a pilot himself. They exchanged phone numbers, and the Falco left. Fox stood next to the kid, who had been silent the entire time. After Falco had left, The Toad started speaking excitedly. He told Fox that he was in debt for helping him. He also told Fox that he was a inventor, and was working on a new space vehicle, called an Arwing. He brought fox back to his garage and showed him 4 of the magnificent craft. He explained that he was still working with them, and since fox was a pilot, he could give them a great test run. Fox agreed, and suddenly had an idea. Two days later, Fox, Falco, Slippy Toad, and Peppy were all in garage. They admired the craft. Peppy, thinking he was going to regret it, said the few words that would save a galaxy.
