AUTHOR'S NOTE: OK, OK, sorry it took so long (darned writer's blocks...), but here it is. The next chapter of my Star Fox fic. This one's a bit sentimental. I'm not giving away spoilers!

Chapter 10: Remembrance

Fox and company walked to a colored door, patterned with many lines colored with the colors of the rainbow. They opened the door, and entered the strange tower that had formed in front of them. He looked around as here was simply darkness. "What the...? There's nothing here...", Fox said as he looked once again. Suddenly, the door behind the closed abruptly. "WHOA!", he yelled.

Katt gasped. "Great! Now what?!", she asked scared.

"I'm wondering the same thing, you know!", Krystal replied as she took her staff, which glowed brighter than ever. "What...?", she asked to herself.

"Who closed the door?!", Falco asked, getting nervous.

"But no one can be here! How could someone just close the door?", Katt asked the blue bird, who gasped at the sentence.

"WHAT?", he asked, now in a panic.

Immediately, a golden light started to surround them. They gasped and closed their eyes as the light consumed them...

"Great. He'll just have to wait then. He'll see what he'll get!", a voice spoke from inside a cold cell in the Space Station in Meteo.

Suddenly, Wolf walked into the cell and looked inside. "Now what, Alma? Just because you couldn't keep up that whole Mariah disguise doesn't mean--"

"Shut up!", she interrupted as she looked to his eyes, unsure about that. She looked down again. "I heard him.", Alma said to Wolf.

"Huh?", he asked.

"I heard him. Falco. My brother.", she answered. Wolf entered the cell, locked it, and sat at her side.

"You mean...?", he asked her again, now completely assured that this was no longer Mariah of the Fraternity. This was Alma Lombardi, Falco's brother.

"Yes. How I long to see him. He thinks I'm dead. But I'm not! I wish I could tell him...", she answered.

" I... I understand how you feel. I have a similar past...", he replied.

"You do?", she asked again, wondering why would he talk to her about that. That was something not in his character.

"Hmm-hmm...", he hummed, and reminisced about his own past...

KATINA, FOURTEEN YEARS AGO...

"You're nothing but a useless bum! Only interested in going to the Cornerian Academy when you must stay and take care of your family!", a woman yelled at a room with a gray wolf with red pants, no shirt, barefoot and playing with a model of a Cornerian ship in a bed. He shook his head.

"Mom! Why can't you understand me? I don't want to be a farmer! I want to be a pilot, so I can protect you when necessary!", he replied to his mother, who was standing from behind the door.

"Listen Wolf, we've been through this a thousand times before. I want you to stay. Why can't you see?! You go, you're just writing your will! Your father was killed for going there! He risked his life! He DIED! I don't want you dead!", she replied back.

"I'm not like my pops! He left us! He didn't care! But I do. I care. He didn't...", he said as a tear ran down his left eye. "Why didn't he care? We were just like him... We were family. Why did he leave me?!", he said as he got up and sat in his bed, head bowing down. "Why?!", he asked himself again as he opened the door and ran outside into a yellow field with crops. He ran past his mother, who gasped at the sight of a sobbing wolf running down the yellow road into nowhere... Wolf ran... And ran... And ran nonstop. After ten minutes worth of running, he stopped, gasping for breath, sobbing in sadness, lost in his thoughts about his father long dead. He looked at his surroundings. Yellow fields surrounded him. Clear, Katinian skies adorned the atmosphere. He came to his knees, sobbing again. He was unable to tame the pain emanating from the word 'Father'. He had never felt this way before-he was fourteen years old. Now he wished to enter the Military Academy more than ever. He wanted to prove that he could do more. He wanted to prove he was not like his father. Never had he wished this strongly to go to the Academy in Corneria. He knew his father was foolish enough to desert the O'Donnell family when Wolf was born. He wanted to be someone important. But one question remained in his mind: Could he be able to do so? He was still crying in pain. "How can I...? Can I do it? I want to be someone important... I want to be a hero. I don't want to be a loser. Not for personal gain, but for helping people!", he said slowly as he got up, and started to walk down the yellow path to his home. However, when he started to get near his house, he stopped. "Is my life worth living?", he asked to himself. He looked up, but something made him freeze. Smoke. "NO! NOT MOM!", he yelled and ran to his house. He got there, only to see that his humble house had been replaced with a house that was burning down to ashes. He ran to the house and opened the door. A piece of wood covered in fire came out, and slashed his left eye. "AAAHHH!", he yelled as he dropped down and covered his eye. He took a shirt that was in the floor, and put it around his muzzle. He ran inside the house. He looked around and ran to the kitchen, where his mom was sitting in the floor, screaming for help.

"Help!", she yelled as Wolf ran to her side. "Wolf?! What are you doing here?! Run for your life!", she yelled as the fire increased in size.

"What are you, crazy?! I'm getting you outta here!", he replied back. Suddenly, a large piece of fire dropped over Wolf. She gasped and Wolf started to collapse as the fire made him faint. "NO!!!" She pushed Wolf aside, and he blacked out.

Wolf finally awoke. He was in a bed, with what seemed to be some sort of patch covered with tape in his eye, and was in a small room with a table on his side. He was very tired. He felt like he slept forever. But he felt stronger. He looked down at his body. He looked older. He looked around, and instantly knew where he was: The Katina Hospital. A doctor came in. He was a black dog with a white coat, followed by a brown dog with a red cap and suit. "Are you all right?", the doctor asked. Wolf nodded.

"What...? I can't remember anything...", he said as he looked around. He gasped. "I was in the fire! I was saving Mom, but then I passed out...", he said as he tried to get up, but was restrained by the Doctor.

"You have been in a comma for one year.", the doctor announced as he took off his glasses, and wiped them clean with his coat.

"What? A year? Why?", Wolf asked, shocked.

"There was too much smoke in your lungs, and to top it off, you lost sight in your left eye. It seems the fire took the best of you. We don't know the reasons of your comma.", the officer said as Wolf stared.

Wolf gasped again. "Where's my mother? Please tell me!", Wolf asked. The both of them lowered their heads and remained silent. "No, she can't be...!", he said again. Wolf spent that day crying in pain.

Three days had passed since Wolf awoke. He was lying in his bed. He felt numb. Someone knocked at the door. "Come in.", was all he said. The Officer came in, and sat beside Wolf.

"How are you feeling?", he asked.

"I'm fine. Who're you?", Wolf asked as he turned his face, frustrated.

"I understand how you feel. Oh, by the way, my name is General Pepper, General of Corneria and the Lylat System.", he introduced himself as Wolf grinned.

"Heh, couldn't bring the guards today?", he asked as Pepper chuckled at the statement.

"Clever. It's not that. We're running out of men. And my reasons for being here is to ask you something.", Pepper replied as Wolf's ear shivered.

"I'm listening.", he said.

"Well... How would you like to be in the Army?", he asked.

Wolf sighed. "I don't know. It was because of that stupid dream that Mom and my father, who shall remain nameless, are gone... I don't know. Why do you ask?", he asked Pepper, who grinned.

"Well, you look like you would make a fine soldier. Plus, you've got some muscle for it!", Pepper joked as he put his paw on Wolf's shoulder. Wolf grinned.

"Well, alright I guess...", was all he said...

PRESENT DAY

"I trained at the Academy and met the fox who would be my rival, Fox McCloud. However, the day I became a mercenary, it was almost like that friendship was gone. I've been trying since then to regain it.", Wolf told Alma as she stared at his eyes.

"So, you risked your life trying to save your mother. Something similar happened to me, but it was the other way around. They risked themselves for me and Falco. But why don't you mention your father?", she asked.

"Well, he deserted me. I hate him since then.", he replied.

"Funny. That's exactly how I feel about an Uncle of mine...", was all she said as Wolf put an arm around her.

"I feel like singing. Want to do so?", Wolf asked as she looked back at him.

"Me too. How about that song we heard in Titania?", she asked him.

"Well, okay...", he replied, and looked again at her. "What was the name of the song?", he asked again.

"I think it was Wild Drive...", she replied. And so, they started to sing together...

Mantan na enerugii ha ikiba wo nakushite komatteru ze

Easily kick about every mighty wind and fly!)
