Disclaimer: I do not own Star Fox or any of the characters (although I wish I did). That great honor goes to Nintendo. And if you didn't know that, then why are you reading this?
This is my first fanfic, so please R & R it. No flames, though. I WON"T LISTEN TO THEM! And so, without further ado... Lost Alliances.
"We need a new mission," I sighed, as the rest of my buddies lounged around in the main area. "The funds from the Dinosaur Planet rescue are almost gone. We need more money. And I'm bored!"
"Well, Fox," said Slippy, looking up from ROB the robot's arm, which he was oiling. "With Andross gone, there's not much to do anymore."
"Yeah, I know, but-" My words were cut off by the appearance of a familiar hologram in the center of the room.
"General Pepper here!" Our general's head seemed to float in the middle of the room as he talked. "We have a report of Star Wolf and his team in the outer part of the Lylat system. It's a small job, but we know you've done this type of thing before. Get out there, Star Fox!"
That's right. My name's Fox McCloud, leader of the Star Fox team. We've beaten Andross and the team is all back together after all these years. There's Peppy, who's pretty old, but that also makes him wise, and a great help in getting from Point A to Point B. Next to him is Slippy, the techno geek. He's always working on some new, weird project, and occasionally he'll come up with something useful. Finally, there's Falco. He's always been the closest one to me in the Star Fox team, and I was saddened when he left after Andross. Thankfully, he came back, to help me beat Andross for hopefully the final time.
The hologram faded. I jumped to the head controls and fired the main engines. "Let's get out of here, guys. We've got a job to do!" The rest of the team headed to their controls and began to control the huge ship in the direction where Star Wolf was last seen. On the way there, we discussed the mission.
"Why would Star Wolf still be out there?" asked Falco. "Andross is dead, ain't he?"
"Trying to take over himself, I guess," I said. "He's already proven himself to be one bad apple."
"Still, it causes one to wonder..." said Peppy.
The mission continued in silence as everyone checked their radars for any sign of Star Wolf. The first person to speak up was Slippy. "I've got something on the radar. I think it's... Yes! There are four of them. That's Star Wolf's team, all right.
Immediately I started barking out orders quickly. "Peppy and Slippy! Man the front cannons and manuever the ship toward Star Wolf. Falco! Get into your Arwing and confront them."
"And what are you going to do, oh fearless leader?" Falco, of course.
I grinned at him, showing my teeth. "You think you're going alone?" Falco grinned back. "Let's go, guys!" I yelled. Falco and I both sprinted to the docking room where the Arwings were held. We got into our separate Arwings and took one last long look at each other before commencing the launch sequence.
"Five, four," I fastened my straps and put on my helmet and oxygen mask. "Three, two, one..." The engines fired and I shot out of the open ramp out into deep space.
The appearance of Falco next to me showed that his launch was just as successful. We both turned toward the direction of Star Wolf and prepared for battle.
And battle came swiftly. A green laser beam shot by my Arwing. A face appeared on my monitor. "Star Wolf," I spat at the computer screen.
"Ah, Fox. I'd hoped you'd show up. It never fails that you always come where the trouble is," said Star Wolf in an unpleasantly calm voice. He seemed to know something I didn't. I hated that feeling.
Hiding my doubts, I responded without looking, "That's my job, Star Wolf. To eliminate all the scum like you from the universe." To go with this, I returned fire at Star Wolf's ship. He responded with a perfect somersault and shot back at me. The fight was on.
"Is that the best you can do, Fox?" Star Wolf said in a mocking voice. Just ignore him, I thought. Just ignore him. I pushed my throttle all the way and shot straight toward him, firing all the way. He pulled up and executed a U-turn, just as I'd planned. I somersaulted immediately and fired the lasers with deadly accuracy. The face on the monitor shook as the lasers hit head on. Star Wolf was thrown against the control panel.
"How about that, Star Wolf?" I said, as he recovered.
"Not bad, boy, not bad," Star Wolf said, unaffected. His picture faded for a second, then reappeared. "Care to try again?" he taunted.
"Exactly what I intend to do," I said back. I began to manuever forward, but then another face replaced Star Wolf's. Falco's.
"Want to know what I've been doing those eight years?" asked Falco. I was confused. Suddenly, a missile came from Falco's Arwing. It exploded on the side of my ship, damaging the oxygen tank. All the oxygen ejected from my ship.
"Falco?!?!" I yelled. "What are you doing?!"
"Sorry, buddy," said the face on the cracked screen with mock sympathy. "I've found a new team." He sneered. I began to black out. I steered the Arwing toward Great Fox, attempting to dock. But everything was swirling and fading, and I couldn't concentrate. The ship was going too far left. I made a feeble attempt to steer the ship right. The ship turned. I was going to collide broadside! About one hundred yards from the ship, everything went black.
**************************************************
I came to in a large, white room. I recognized it instantly as the infirmary of Great Fox. ROB the robot was tending to my arm. Or was that my leg? I was still a bit woozy. "What happened?" I asked ROB. "You blacked out onto the eject button," said ROB in his monotone voice. You were ejected through the cockpit glass, and then through the windows of our ship. Peppy and Slippy immediately rushed you to the infirmary to get help from me. However, you will need a doctor to be fully healed. Just then Peppy and Slippy came in.
"How are you doing, Fox?" asked Peppy.
"Forget about that!" I yelled. "What about Star Wolf? And Falco, where is he? You saw what he did to me!"
Slippy explained. "After shooting you down, Falco and the Star Wolf team flew off towards Sector D8. According to Peppy, that's where Planet Venom is, the old home of Andross."
"But why?" I yelled, suprised at the intensity of my voice.
"I don't know, Fox," said Peppy, shaking his head wearily. "I just don't know."
This is my first fanfic, so please R & R it. No flames, though. I WON"T LISTEN TO THEM! And so, without further ado... Lost Alliances.
