TWO HEROES COLLIDE LAST EPISODE, LYLAT-TERRA WARS
Galaxy Wulf, after their grand vacation, decided to go back to base. However, on their way home, something disturbing happened. TERRA Squad HQ has given a dramatic change! They tried to confront Gen. Fox, but they all ended up in a cell, deeply in slumber. What will happen next?
-Chapter Seven- "Sudden Farewell"
During the time where in Galaxy Wulf made a departure from Pyron, Star Fox also followed. Going to another direction, the team went on to Lylat.
"Fox! Oh pal, don't tell me you're going back this quick!" Bill darted out in his fighter. It seems that his Rover Buster A+ [I think that's his fighter's name] is not aboard Great Fox. "Can't you guys just stay for a while at Fortuna and party around?"
"I have to, you know! I can't always party around while my job waits!" Fox reasoned out. "Besides, Wulf is exactly doing the same thing!"
Falco heard him talk. He went close to Fox's command seat and rubbed his elbow to him. "Heeeyyy!!! Am I hearing a competition here?!" he grinned.
Fox mopped out and shook his fist. "I ain't that type of person! I'm not like you, you know!"
The started to fight around, shouting each other with random insults and teases. Bill joined the quarrel, then later Katt and Fara butted in.
Peppy, who was looking at some old picture files from the Captain's Album, suddenly looked at the two. He got angry after seeing the two fight. "You two should stop it right now!" he scolded. "Why not try to be quiet sometimes?! Why can't this Great Fox be as much peaceful as before?!"
"Hey Slippy, what's gotten into Peppy?" Wolf asked the toad quietly. "It seems he's got that… um…"
"Reminiscence thingy? Yep, I think it's gotten into him." Slippy whispered back. "Geez! People at their old age tend to do these wacky things!"
"Hey! I heard that!"
Slippy and Wolf, who were talking at the back, got flabbergasted. Peppy heard them talking.
"Oh… who? Us?!" Wolf grinned fretfully.
Slippy also added, "We… um… we weren't talking about anything!!!"
"Oh come on!" the hare fuzzed out. "Even with this age, my ears are still working! I know what you youngsters are talking about!"
"Oops… a sign of an elderly manner!" Slippy giggled.
"I know this old coot is already having those calls of retirement, but I ain't the one passing by!"
Fox, who just waved goodbye to the three who were having a party at Fortuna, became eager to Peppy's sudden lecture. Falco sat beside him on the desk.
"I can still remember… before Rob was upgraded to Rob64; before you guys stepped here in this flagship; we were The Team. We were The Star Fox."
"Oh yeah… You are the senior member of the group." Wolf said as he gave a thought.
"I don't know whether you're giving a complement or just teasing me, O'Donnell, but I have to tell you, you and your brother's dad, James, and your friend, Pigma, and along with me, not even a single thing could Andross do to attack Corneria!"
"Hey," Fox gleefully asked, "didn't you guys meet Wolves of Albadheb? You know, from Terra? Lupina's and Fox's fathers are there!"
"Oh yes… I still remember… We actually thought that they are a group of heroes from another part of the universe. We never knew they are Terrans. We fought together to stop Dark Princess from doing damage to the universe. Thanks to our teamwork, we were able to defeat her."
He then stood up, took a hold from his album, and walked out. Before going to his room, he said out faintly, "I'm not saying that the present is good… It's just that I'm getting too old and I don't know when will my time be…" He closed the entrance, trying to have peace.
"Peppy…" Fox whispered to himself.
Before the guys give another thought, Rob announced about their arrival. "Great Fox is already entering Cornerian air space. We must be ready for landing." the robot implied.
"Roger that!" Fox answered back.
The Great Fox reached at the Cornerian Defense Force. They landed at the large hangar. As Fox looked down, he saw a handful of persons waiting below down: Lupe, Arma, Caiman, Foxwell, and the General. He never expected them to wait for their arrival.
"Hey guys!" Fox greeted. "So how's your day? Uh say, where's Rufus?"
Lupe looked serious. He answered back, "We don't know where in the world he is right now, but there's something important we wanted to tell to all of you!"
"Huh? Did something happen while we're away?" Falco asked with wonder.
"Y-yes…" Foxwell nervously answered. "We'll exp-plain it later at Gen. Pep-per's office."
Just then, Peppy walked down from the ship, wearing his old jacket. He asked permission to Fox and the crew. "Fox, can I please have time for myself. I just really need it badly…" he begged.
"Pepper! This is no time for you to frolic around!" Gen. Pepper angrily disagreed.
Wolf patted Gen. Pepper's shoulder and requested, "Let him be. He's having trouble lately." He then got close to the general and whispered, "He's trying to feel good about his age…"
"Very well… Peppy, just come back later, all right?"
"Thank you, General. This old coot will be on in later!" he grinned. He then faced Star Fox and told them, "Fox, you've grown. Be a good leader like your dad. Wolf, whatever happens, please help your brother. Slippy, don't get into trouble. And Falco, try to cooperate and support the team." He then walked back, saying, "You may not know when I won't be there to help you out…"
Fox suddenly felt a bad feeling. Is something going to happen to Peppy? Of course not, he believed.
Peppy went to a bar, drinking coffee and eating some sandwich. He kept in mind everything what the old Star Fox did, and sharing them to the new ones. Later that afternoon, after he finished his business…
He walked to an alley. Strangely, that back street seems to be quiet.
"Hmm… too quiet…" he said to himself. [Hey! That's his line in SF64 at Meteo!] He then shouted, "Show yourself! I know you're hiding!"
Suddenly, a shrouded person appeared from a path. A hood prevented the person to be seen, but to his physique, he is a canine.
"Am I really lucky today?" that person with red fur grinned grimly. "Am I going to meet Peppy Hare personally?"
"What do you want?" he asked with nervousness.
"Oh simple… You see, without you, Star Fox will lose their spirit, and of course, you won't be there to help them during the war!"
"What the?"
"Here I come Peppy! My neutron blade will slice you down!"
He dashed forward, revealing his crimson-colored blade. As the person gets near, Peppy gasped.
"You! You're…"
Before he could say another word, he was stabbed at the back. Blood leaked out, killing the hare instantly.
"Uh…" Peppy gasped while taking the last breath. "Why? H-how… could you…"
He suddenly closed his eyes. His heart stopped beating. He is dead. The poor Peppy Hare passed away because of a murderous intent.
"Hehehe… Without you, the war WILL begin! HAHAHA!" the assassin laughed out with his red tail flinging out. "Let the worms and flies feast on you! You have already given yourself a path to kingdom come!"
However, before leaving, he forgot something, something that will turn him down, or so to speak…
Meanwhile, inside the base, Star Fox got informed of the recent events. Being surprised, he disagree to help the militia…
"Sorry Gen. Pepper, but I can't." Fox said as he nodded. "I don't want to fight them, even with the rewards you offered are too much for generosity. I just couldn't bare to wage war against Galaxy Wulf."
"But Fox, the Cornerian Army needs your team's help!" Gen. Pepper begged. "You're only our hope! What if Galaxy Wulf attacks? We don't have a pilot as skilled as you to stop them!"
"It's not likely that Galaxy Wulf will do that, even with their military forcing them." Wolf reasoned out.
Just then, Foxwell, who was earlier ordered to look for Rufus, entered the room. Carrying a stack of papers, he accidentally slipped down.
"Egad! Foxwell, where were you these whole time?" Gen. Pepper asked indefinitely.
"Sir, you made me look Rufus around the whole city!" Foxwell explained. "Oh yeah, in my way earlier, Gen. Chibot wanted you to sign a document that allows Star Fox to enter war."
Arma whined, "It's really strange where the heck Rufus is… Anyway, what's your decision, Gen. Pepper?"
He looked at the fox and thought about the paper. "I shall hold on to that." He said, thinking that they might change their mind.
Suddenly, Caiman came running down the hallway and entered the room. He huffed and heaved, but then was able to say something.
"Guys!" he coarsely spoke out, "Open the monitor and watch the News Flash! Quick!"
Everybody wondered. They opened the monitor inside Gen. Pepper and watched the sudden newsflash. The reporter announced something that will soon change the lives of the whole Star Fox crew.
"I am Tracy Winterford giving you this sudden news flash. A body was found lying on the ground, severely stabbed at the back, inside an alley. When the police investigated, it seems that a weapon of Terran technology has been used to stab this person, a neutron blade as what many call it. The victim's name by the way is…"
"Peppy Hare."
Fox lost a heartbeat there. He couldn't believe what he heard. Peppy dead? Impossible! He immediately stood up and hurried to the scene. The others then followed him. The whole Star Fox are in a strange mood. Grief perhaps?
When they reached the alley, the whole Star Fox couldn't bare to see his bloody body. They all started to weep, but trying to hide it from public.
Fox moved closer to him. "Peppy, you've done so much… You don't deserve this!" he whimpered. He then saw a neutron blade near his body. "The killer's weapon…" he thought. As he looked to it, the design seems to be familiar.
Just then, Rufus came along running. Sweat is flowing out from him. Something happened to him while he was away.
"Fox… I heard what happened…" Rufus slowly spoke out. "Sorry for the loss…"
Fox suddenly asked him a question. He showed the blade to Rufus and asked, "Is this yours?"
"Y-yeah… Now that you mentioned it, thanks!" he answered back.
"What were you doing when you were away?"
"I… uh…"
"YOU MURDERER!" Fox shouted as he points Rufus. "The red fur, the neutron blade, your disappearance… it all connects…"
"But I…"
"Fox, let's not get too hasty…" Lupe reasoned out. "Rufus couldn't possibly…"
Suddenly, enforcers arrived, quickly grabbing Arma, Rufus, and Lupe.
"Hey! What's this all about?" Arma shouted.
"You Terrans have become a problem to us all…" Gen. Pepper commanded. "Take them to the cells." He faced at Fox and asked, "So, what's your decision?"
"Give me the paper." He answered coldly. "Star Fox will join the war."
What the… Star Fox has joined the Armada! They will soon join the attack to Terra. What will happen to them and Galaxy Wulf? Their fate hangs in the balance, and also if you read the next chapter!
