Chapter 4: Torn By Fate

Wulf was taken inside a hangar. He looked at the calendar; It was a few years after the first Lylat War. He looked around. He noticed that he was inside the Venomian Recruit Camp. He was startled by the list on a wall.

"Hmm... What's this?" he wondered.

He looked at the chart very carefully. It says:

TOP 5 MOST RECRUITABLE CADETS:
1. O'Donnell, Wolf and Almeis, Jimmy (tie)
2. Powalski, Leon
3. Conery, Coyote
4. Neutron, Thomas
5. Oikonny, Andrew

"Well, Wolf is really a tough guy!" Wulf smiled. He went outside the hangar. As he looked around, he saw young pilots training with push-ups and marching. Some went inside the Virtual Simulation Training Area. Wolf was there, hanging around with Leon and Andrew.

Just then, a speaker shouted, "O'Donnell! Almeis! Come to my office immediately!"

He saw Wolf and a fox running towards the building. He quickly rushed towards it.

As he enters, he listened to the conversation.

"Mr. O'Donnell, Mr. Almeis, I would like you to introduce Gen. Andross Oikonny." the captain addressed. "Please take your seats."

Andross stood up from his chair and laughed at the two. "I looked at your charts today. Hmm... They're not shabby or shaky... And their records..."

The captain gave Andross a record. As Andross scans through them, Wolf and Jimmy, the fox, were very nervous. They looked at each other, but Jimmy just smiled and hold Wolf's paw. He gave the "We will make it!" look that made Wolf feel comfortable.

"I see! Well boys, I welcome you to Venomian Squad!" Andross applauded.

"Thanks... I mean, thank you sir!" the two proudly stood and replied.

Wulf recognized that Wolf wanted to be a fighter to Venom. But he thought, "Wolf, aren't you aware about the consequences you're going to face?"

A flash of light suddenly swallowed him, taking him to another time...

He was brought to the time Wolf and Jimmy were Venomian fighters. The two were called to Andross' chambers.

"Wolf! Jimmy! I have a special assignment for you two!" Andross appointed, "You are going to lead the front-line fighters against StarFox Premiere Squad. Those buzzards are heading towards our base, so we must stop them!"

"StarFox Premiere Squad?" the questioned.

"Yes. Those are the pilots StarFox team chose to fight along with them." Andross continued. "Once those pests are gone, everything is easy!"

Wolf suddenly felt a fright. He knew that Fox's father is the leader of StarFox. Jimmy knew all about Wolf and Fox before since Wolf always tells him, so he asked Andross.

"Sir," Jimmy nervously asked, "is James' son, Fox McCloud, one of the StarFox Premiere Squad fighters?"

"We have a record on that!" Andross answered as he pressed a button, "Here they are!"

The monitor showed the names of the squad members. On the first line, he saw the name "McCloud, Fox" along with "Lombardi, Falco."

"Those names were arranged by their rank and skill, so watch out for him!" Andross keenly warned the two.

Wolf cannot fight his friend. He knew that someday they would meet again, but not like this... He then gathered all of his guts and replied to Andross, "I'm sorry, sir, but I will not fight."

"WHAT?!" Andross remarked, "But why?"

"I just... I can't..." Wolf nodded and then left the room.

"What about you?" Andross looked at Jimmy ferociously.

"If he's not going, I'm not going..." Jimmy scuffled as he left the room.

Andross quickly wondered why. He looked to Wolf's records and files. He then went to Wolf's room, along with the soldiers, as they are looking for reasons.

"Destroy the door!" Andross commanded. The soldiers smashed the door with lasers.

As it fell down, they searched everywhere inside Wolf's room, until they opened Wolf's cabinet.

On the Venom balcony, Wolf leaned on the fence. Jimmy was beside him.

"You know," Wolf told Jimmy, "you shouldn't disobeyed Andross..."

"I only follow what you do! I'm your pal!" Jimmy smiled.

"You remind me of Fox..." Wolf whispered, as he crossed his arms.

"Oh well..." Jimmy replied, "Hey, I'll just grab my jacket, okay?"

"Sure..." Wolf nodded, "And uh, get my 'picture' in my room, okay?"

"Fine!" Jimmy yelled as he ran away.

Back at Wolf's room, Andross opened the cabinet, he grinned with an evil grin. "Ha ha ha! So this is the reason why!" He took the picture of Wolf and Fox when they were young. "Friendship... What a fun toy to play!" he then planned something very despicable that he laughed to himself. "Wolf and Fox... Once friends, now enemies!!!" He torn the picture apart and threw it somewhere.

He ordered the two soldiers to get two Cornerian uniforms. He then asked a soldier where Wolf is.

"On the balcony, sir!"

"Good!" Andross smiled, "Loyal soldier, I shall give you the honor of tasting a kill. Soldiers, get another suit of Cornerian uniform!" He looked at another soldier and commanded, "As I give my signal, commence an alarm that spies have entered the base, but make only Wolf hear it! And tell that they are heading to his room!"

"Aye!"

Then, Andross grinned, "Now for the coup d' grace..."

He suddenly saw Jimmy, running towards Wolf's room. Jimmy saw them and quickly dashed towards them.

"What are you all doing here?"

Suddenly, soldiers grabbed him and Andross grinned at him. "Your friend will start to hate foxes... Like YOU!"

A dagger was stabbed to Jimmy's back, killing him. Then, they made him covered in wounds.

"Sound the 'signal'!" Andross ordered.

Wolf was whimpering on the balcony when an alarm sounded.

"Warning. Spies have been detected inside building premises. They are now heading to section B-3."

Wolf suddenly thought, "Oh no! Jimmy!"

Wolf ran fast. He knew his buddy might be in danger.

As he arrived at his room, he knelt in pain. He saw Jimmy's body, dead and lying on the torn bed.

He cried and stood beside Jimmy. "Jimmy... JIMMY!!! WHY? WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?!"

He then looked around. He saw on the ground the picture of him and Fox when they were young. He beckoned at it, and saw that it was torn. It was stuck on the ground by the dagger, what he thought the one who torn the picture. He grabbed the dagger, and looked at it's flashing emblem.

It has a symbol of StarFox, with a sparkling nametag "FOX."

Wolf suddenly felt cold. "No... Fox... He wouldn't..."

Then suddenly, three Venomian soldiers that looked like Cornerian spies appeared behind Wolf's back.

"Our leader Fox has already left. Too bad!" one of the soldiers grinned.

"He said he wanted to finish you by himself, but he has a hectic schedule so he left and let us do the job!" another devilishly smiled.

"LIAR! Fox will never betray me!" Wolf shouted.

"Oh really? He told us that he doesn't care about any Venomian's life. He doesn't care about you, or your father's death!" the third laughed. "He was so happy about his father's triumph. He only wants to make a fool out of you!"

Wolf was petrified. In his thoughts, he was shattered. He thought, "My friend was killed by Fox. Fox betrayed me... He made a fool out of me... He mocked me and my father..."

The three soldiers laughed. Wolf suddenly felt something he never felt before. Revenge. That was his emotions wanted to release.

With the three spies caught off-guard, Wolf stabbed the spies who were grabbing him and the one who mocked him, killing them both. The last soldier kneeled and begged for mercy. "P-please! Don't kill me!"

"Hmm... My friend knelt better to you but you didn't forgive him." Wolf solidly answered. He stabbed the soldier's stomach, killing him instantly.

Wolf started to run towards the hangar. His anger and thirst for revenge filled his heart. He quickly rode his fighter and took off towards the Squad, alone.

"That boy is a fool!" a soldier commented to Andross.

"Don't worry. He'll survive..." Andross grinned.

Wolf headed to the squad. Fox was there. Someone reported to him.

"Fox! An incoming vessel is approaching you!"

"Huh?" Fox answered enigmatically. He looked out and saw a fighter. But then, he recognized the pilot. It was Wolf, his best friend.

He yelled out loud, "WOLF! IT'S ME, FOX!"

Wolf didn't answer. He just cried and yelled, "DIE!!! FOX!!!"

Wolf started to fire lasers to Fox. Fox was didn't attack. He has no intention on doing so. But then, he became unbalanced and he slipped on his seat. He accidentally hit a button that fired twin missiles.

Wolf was surprised about the missiles, and was hit. He was sent flying down to Venom. Fox was horrified. He didn't really mean it, but...

Wolf thought that he was dead. But, he woke up in Andross' lab.

"What happened? My left eye..." Wolf asked to Andross.

"Your left eye's nerves are dead because of the incident. There are also scars on your face..." Andross answered. "Fox was really deadly..."

"I'll kill him!" Wolf shouted insanely, "I'LL KILL HIM!"

"NOOOO!!!" Wulf tried to yell, but he was taken away by the light. He was sent back to the ruins, thinking enigmatically.

Poor Wolf... Andross must be really a whack-o or something... Anyway, go to the next chapter to find out Rufus' past and how he became bad. It is entitled, Crimson Avenge.
