RusVal-Hey there. RusVal here. It has been a while, but I'm back!
Jazz-And now with extras!
RusVal-That's right. Starting this chapter, I shall be giving information about different characters, mainly for people who don't know much about said characters.
Jazz- Dude, I can't wait!
note- I am a romantic dud. I will give it a good try, but remember that this is Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi.

Ch. 5: Fox pilot meets pilot Fox
Fox leveled his Arwing as the aircraft slowly dropped in altitude. To his starboard side, Falco was doing the same, complaining all the way.
You are officially nuts! Falco shouted, Do you know that? You have gone completely bonkers!
Yes, Falco.
We weren't supposed to be seen. Pepper said specifically that we were not supposed to be seen! Falco continued, showing no sign of stopping, I mean, what came across that crazed mind of yours?! You never do something like this unless-
Fox shut off the connection. He knew this wasn't something he does normally. In truth, he would have preferred to have flown back to the Great Fox. But... there was just something about that plane, the... pilot of it. Fox couldn't put his finger on it, but it was like he had to save that plane.
Fox shook these thoughts from his mind. He was close to landing near his destination. When he had attempted contact, instead of getting the pilot of the aircraft that the pair had labored so much to save, Fox got a person who was on the ground nearby. It seemed that the plane was taking directions from a ground crew, and was trying to get a good look at what is now a smoking crater on the surface of the planet. As of yet, Fox hadn't found out who had sent the blimps, as the person talking needed to meet him in person before giving him any valuable information. Fox thought that was logical, as it also allowed him a chance to catch a glimpse of who was flying the bi-plane. What met his eyes, tough, wasn't something he had expected to see. For all he knew, he could have been imagining things. He could have sworn, however, that he saw another fox in the front seat of that thing.

Calm down, Sonic, Sally reassured her love, this Fox McCloud person sounded very friendly. And he did just save Tails.
Yeah, I know, Sonic said impatiently as he passed back and forth, but I'm wondering why he saved Tails. Maybe he goes around, trying to get favors out of everybody. And I'm suspicious about his name. Fox' McCloud? You don't think he's just another mobian, do you? Or maybe he has a weak spot for foxes, and upon finding out we all aren't foxes, he will vaporize us all!
Why are you acting like this, Sonic Hedgehog?! Sally scornfully stated, You don't normally jump to conclusions at this speed.
Sonic scratched the back of his head, I'm just a bit jumpy about aliens after the last encounter I had with them.
Oh, you mean the one where they turned you into Mecha Sonic, Sally recalled.
She giggled softy before placing her hand on his cheek, You worry too much, dear.
Sonic clearly blushed before they heard the engines of the two space craft getting closer. They both looked up as two sleek-looking jet-like aircraft landed in the clearing that was the agreed meeting place. A sure sign that they were high tech cam from the fact that they landed vertically. All other aircraft that they had encountered needed a runway to land, even Robotnik's.
The canopies of the ships opened up, and two figures jumped out. The eyes of the pair watching jumped out, too.
Oh my, Sally whispered.
Sonic finished.
The best description that Sonic could come up with was that these guys were a cross between a mobian and an overlander. The head guy had the ears, snout, and tail of a fox mobian. So, that's why his name is Fox, Sonic thought to himself. However, Fox's arms, legs, and body were like that of a fit male overlander. He also was as tall as a short overlander.
Fortunately, Sonic and Sally stopped gapping before the two stranger creatures came close. For a moment, the two pairs just looked at each other, as if sizing the other up. Sally eventually broke the tension.
So, you're Fox McCloud, she greeted politely, extending her hand, I'm Princess Sally Acorn of the Knothole Kingdom.
The fox smiled, taking her hand in a firm yet gentle grip, Pleasure to meet you. First time I ever helped a princess. I feel honored.
the creature that looked like a bird blanched, Fox, do have to act like that in front of them.
It's called courtesy', Falco, Fox shot back, letting go of Sally's hand.
Since when did you learn something like that? Falco snorted.
During the time you went AWOL, bird brain! Fox shouted.
Oooooooh. The famed Cool Headed' McCloud loses his temper
Sally lightly coughed.
Yep, real friendly, Sonic grumbled. He quickly looked away when Sally shot him a glance.
Fox apologized when he and Falco calmed down, We don't normally act like this.
It was bound to happen though, Falco grumbled, his arms crossed and his back turned to Fox.
So, anyway, Fox continued, I'm Fox McCloud, leader of the Star Fox team. This, he gestured to Falco, is Falco Lombardi. He's a good pilot, second only to me.
Yeah, right, Falco mumbled.
Fox ignored Falco for the moment, instead turning to Sonic.
So, who's your friend?
The name's Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic answered.
Sonic, eh? Fox pondered for a moment, Interesting name.
Kind of like Sonic remarked, did your parents have NO imagination?
Sally whispered harshly.
Actually, it's my call sign, Fox noted, scratching the back of his head.
Before Sonic could inquire, Tails ran up from where he landed the Hurricane a few moments before.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
For a couple minutes, the kid just stood there like a statue. During this time, Fox looked him over. Just as he suspected, it was a fox like him. What he didn't expect, however, how young the pilot was, and that he had two tails instead of one.
Sonic waved his hand over the young fox's eyes.
Tails exclaimed, taking everyone by surprise. He then spun his tails around at high speed, creating a propeller that lifted him in the air.
Tails continued as he flew around Fox fast enough that made the fighter pilot dizzy, A fox! Another fox, just like me! I mean, sure there are differences, but we basically are the same! THIS IS SO COOL!!!
So, Tails, Fox said uneasily as Sally tried to calm said fox down, you're a pilot?
Are you kidding, Sonic bragged, he built his plane from scratch! Although he did have a bit of help from yours truly
Falco said sarcastically, a friend for Slippy.
Slippy's our head mechanic, Fox quickly explained.
Suddenly, there was a ring coming from Fox's headset, which he was holding in his hands. The sound drew a couple glances from the locals.
And speak of the devil Fox lifted the set up to his ear, turning and walking away so he could talk to Slippy privately
Fox! Fox! Slippy sounded excited, We have an emergency!
Whoa, Slippy, calm down. What's the problem?
Something wrong with our hyperspace drives! We can't leave this orbit, let alone the solar system!
Jazz-Whoa! What happened to the Great Fox? And what will the SF team do now? Find out next time on StarSonic!
RusVal-Well, here's the databanks thing I promised, on Fox! Please note, this is MY THEORY. Some people may not agree, but from information I have gathered, and from what hardcore fans believe, I came up with the most likely history. Sort of meshing the N64 version with the SNES version.

Name: James McCloud Jr.
Call sign: Fox
Height: 5'10
Age: 25
Profession: Fighter pilot, mercenary
History: The son of James McCloud Sr., Jr. took a liking to the name Fox from a young age (mainly to set himself apart). At age 17, took over the StarFox team when his father died. During that time, Andross, a made scientist, had unleashed an army to conquer the Lylat System. With the help of his team, Fox fought his way to Andross's home base on Venom. There, Fox faced Andross in a fighter-vs.-giant-mutated-head battle, with Fox the victor. As Andross began exploding, he set off a self destruct sequence in the base. Fox would have perished if his father's ghost hadn't shown him the way out. Shortly after, an 8-year peace existed. During that time, Fox had a short relationship with a girl, but broke up due two their busy lives. Then came the Dinosaur Planet incident, where Fox had to save an entire planet from destruction. There, he met Krystal, whom he dated for a little while before breaking up again. Now, Fox is hoping to find work again in a peaceful setting.
