Chapter 6: Realization
"I can't believe it! Beaten by Star Fox again, along with six cadets," growled Leon back at the base on Venom. He was pacing back and forth in the lounge. Wolf was looking out the window with his arms crossed, deep in thought. Pigma was sitting in the recliner, eating his rather large lunch. Andrew was at the computer.
"Actually," started Pigma with his mouth full, "One of the cadets purposely shot one of their own. Somebody named Orwall."
"Orwall!? Did you say Orwall" boomed a voice coming down from the hallway. A tall, muscular fox stormed into the room. He wore a black, leather jacket, baggy blue jeans, and a torn up white shirt. His silver-green eyes pierced fear into the soul of the onlooker. Nobody ever dared to look into his eyes if they wanted to be spared.
"Yeah, why?"
"Male or female!?"
"Female. Again, why?"
"Blast it! That was my daughter!" Pigma suddenly started choking on his food from shock. Andrew got up from the computer and performed the Heimlich Maneuver on him. Pigma spit out the piece of food he was choking on and it ended up on the fox's face. The fox growled at Pigma, picked him up by the collar of his shirt, then slammed him into the wall, glaring hate into his eyes. Pigma squeezed his eyes shut in fear. He then grinned an evil grin and let the pig go. Pigma cowered into a corner and exhaled. "No matter. I'll just kill her."
"Kill your own daughter!?"
"I failed to five years ago thanks to that jack-ass General."
Andrew sat back down at the computer and typed in a few words. Then something of interest popped up onto the screen. "Hey guys, check this out!" Leon and Pigma went over to Andross' nephew and looked on the screen.
"What's that," asked Leon.
"It's the latest news report on Corneria."
"Yeah, so?"
"The Cornerian Air force Academy had their final exams yesterday."
"That explains the cadets that we were fighting."
"Four of the six cadets we fought were arrested for two counts of treason, one count of assault, and one count of attempted murder, but they escaped."
"WHAT!?"
"They were the ones who put McCloud out of commission for the invasion."
"And the other two?"
"They'll be joining Star Fox in Katina."
"Who are the two?"
"Jackie Orwall and Kyle O'Don.nel.Wolf!?" Wolf snapped out of his trance and looked at Andrew, annoyed.
"What do you want now," whined Wolf.
"Kyle O'Donnel.any relation to you?"
"He's my half brother. My father ran off when I was two and got some vixen pregnant on Corneria. He returned fifteen years later and found out that my mom left. I got into a fight with him the day he returned and.well." He then pointed to his eye patch.
"So that's how you got it," asked Leon. Wolf nodded and left it at that. He hated the fact that his father was working on the Venomian base as well. Not only that, his father, Jake O'Donnel, was third in command to Andross. Tyson was second in command.
"We need a new plan," boomed a voice from the doorway. All five of them turned to see their leader. "We shall invade Corneria tomorrow!"
"What about Katina," asked Tyson.
"That was only a diversion to get Star Fox out of our way."
"Yes, Your Majesty," saluted Star Wolf.
"Tyson, may I see you privately? I have a special mission for you and Jake."
"Yes, Andross," obeyed Tyson humbly with a grin on his face.
Fox woke up again, finding himself in his quarters onboard the Great Fox. Slowly, he sat up, looking around his room before getting out of bed. He was careful not to hurt himself again while putting his clothes on. He staggered into the living room, having just awakened. Peppy sat, sleeping on the couch while Fara kept her nose in a book she was reading. As expected, Slippy was ogling at his computer while Falco was losing against Jamie, playing a video game. Sensing Fox, Peppy awoke and glanced up at the young leader. The others soon noticed him and smiled at the young McCloud.
"Well, well, well," started Falco, "Look who finally decided to wake up." Just then, he heard a noise from the TV.
"Ha ha, I beat you again, Falco," teased Jamie.
"What!? No way! That's the second time in a row! I want a rematch!"
"Third time's the charm," taunted Jamie. He then stopped and did a double take. He shot up and ran up to Fox, hugging him. "Big brother, you're ok!" Fox smiled and ruffled Jamie's hair.
"I'm fine now, Jamie. I'll be back in my Arwing in no time."
"Not until those ribs of yours heal. You're lucky they weren't broken," stated Peppy. He stood up and walked over to Fox. "Luckily, Pepper found two pilots that'll take your place until you've fully recovered. They're aboard the Great Fox now. We leave Corneria in the morning."
"Can I see them?"
"They should be here any minute now," exclaimed Slippy. Just as he said that, Jackie and Kyle came into the living room. Fox turned around and saw them.
"Jackie!? You're here," the surprised Fox exclaimed. He then turned to Kyle. "I don't think I've met you."
"I'm Kyle O'Donnel."
"O'Donnel!? Any relation to Wolf O'Donnel!?"
"Yeah. He's my half brother."
"Half brother," started Falco. "How can you be related to him when he's a wolf and you're a fox!?"
"I'm only half fox, Falco," stated Kyle. "I'm half wolf, too."
"I can't believe it! Beaten by Star Fox again, along with six cadets," growled Leon back at the base on Venom. He was pacing back and forth in the lounge.
