READ THIS AUTHOR NOTE!
>Hi there, I hope you know the upcoming Star Fox game, Star Fox Assault! As a promotion for my new episode, I'll tell you something… Did you know that Star Wolf will be there! I even have his solo posing! There're also neat pictures for Leon, Andrew, Pigma, and the new member, Panther! I am a fan of Wolf, so check it out! To find it, go to and look for Star Fox Assault board, then find there the New Screenshots Star Wolf thread. Find the one with the "YAY!" reply, which is actually a link to the images. The thumbnails in the link are rather hard to view, since they only show the characters' torso. That place rocks! The forum is nice too, so join there!
>Since there'll be a new Star Fox game, I need to update this fan canon, or fanon, like with that appearance of Panther, so I will give new characters like Cyan Ocelot, a beautiful and gorgeous pilot-judo specialist-sumo wrestler, more Krystal appearances, more Star Wolf, and many more! Also, be aware of Wulf 2.0 and a new member of Galaxy Wulf!
Chapter One: Eraser
Corneria City, a nice place to talk and lounge, will now have to be busy, especially for Wolf…
Rufus smiled as Wolf entered the café he told the wolf to come. The grey wolf looked for him, and finally saw him, so he sat to the empty chair at Rufus' table. The waitress gave them two empty tea cups and a kettle. It seemed Rufus had already ordered what the two would drink. He wondered why he sent him a message of a meeting on a bar near an abandoned dock… that was strange, since for an abandoned place, the bar seemed to be filled with people.
"Gentlemen, we are honored that you'll dine in this restaurant," she humbly acquainted the two as she gave them the menu. "Please, what shall be the dishes that we will serve?"
Wolf looked confused. He didn't know what Rufus is planning in his head. "Thanks… uh, could you give me some Red Steak and iced chocolate," he answered as he browsed to the menu. His eyes peeked slightly to his companion, who looked like he doesn't know what to do. "Just pick anything you like, Wolf. It's on me."
"Um, then, thanks…" Wolf replied nervously as he quickly glanced at the menu, "Wild Wing and orangeade, please."
The two gave their menus back to the waitress, who then bowed and went on to cook and then serve the ordered meals. Wolf, who has a feeling of skepticism over Rufus, asked him what he is thinking. "So, what do want us to talk about? Something tells me that this meeting is something special." Before he could add another sentence, the meals have arrived.
"Please enjoy your meals!"
Rufus gladly picked up his knife and fork, and he slowly sliced it to the steak with the fork impaled to the meat he ordered before putting it to his mouth. Wolf looked again at Rufus, who seemed to ignore him. When he was about to touch the fork, Rufus asked him, "Are you happy?"
"Yes… What kind of question was that?" Wolf wondered as he grabbed his utensil. Suddenly, he sniffed something. "Hey, it smells like smoke… is this food burned, or is the restaurant on fire?" He stood up, but Rufus asked him once again.
"Are you happy with the memories you have?"
That was a rather strange reply, as Wolf thought. He then noticed smoke being released from his seat. He then realized that the whole place was just an illusion, a hologram! The message was a fake! The restaurant was merely a warehouse, a trap! He covered his nose, trying to prevent sniffing the gas, but the whole place was engulfed by it!
"If you don't want them, be happy, for they'll fade away…"
The voice of the hologram Rufus suddenly changed in tone. From normal, it turned deep… It became somewhat familiar… a voice of another person. His eyes slowly closed down, as soldiers picked him up. Andross, the voice of Andross, it was his entire plot… but what does he want with him?
"Okay, the distress call points here," Rufus growled as he opened his small torch from his right hand, while the other hand holding his neutron blade, "but I can't find the victim or the machine that transmits it!" He remembered that while scouting the Katina desert, he received an emergency call. Strange, since his fighter only received it, but The Pyre didn't… and suspicion didn't cross his mind, so he took it alone. It led him to the cave.
"Hmm… this cave is sturdy, that even cave-ins are rather impossible," he commented as he ventured the deeper parts. He then turned his communicator on, but he realized that the communication to the outside was unavailable. The only thing it currently picks is the distress signal.
He traversed the innermost regions of the cave. Finally, the signal is getting stronger. Then he arrived at an area of the cave wherein there is a wide space with many passageways; something struck his heart that made him feel nervous.
"Wait… the signal is coming from this room," he thought, but he then growled with terror in his heart, "No, the room is sending the signal! This place isn't a cave!" A sudden laugh echoed the whole place. A grey coyote wearing a familiar uniform came out from the shadows. Behind him are a tiger, a pangolin, and a husky.
"Star Coyote," Rufus grumbled as he unleashed his neutron blade, "and the cave, I should've known this was a trap. No wonder I couldn't contact the guys in this place! This place might not even be a cave!" Husky grinned as he pushed a button. The whole place started to tremble. The sand was drained from the place. After all was clear, the whole place looked like a storage room of a flagship… Star Coyote's flagship!
Coyote removed his upper clothing. He smiled while licking his palm. "It's really sad that I'll be using my WILD form to make you weak instead of killing you. Andross and Volgar have some plans for you and your friend Wolf." He growled as he tried to force his brutal form out. His claws grew longer, as well as his fangs. His fur on the back suddenly went straight. His muscles grew, and his eyes changed in color. "Anyway, I'll still have fun making you weak!"
Rufus attacked quickly. He is only armed with one neutron blade instead of two, since he's carrying a flashlight. He missed, and Coyote knew what to do. A quick strike to Rufus' left hand knocked the light out. Rufus tried to sense him, but the fiend was too fast for him. A powerful kick to the side knocked him to the ground. He tried to look up, but all was in total darkness. A bang to the head made him faint.
"All right, let's go!" Coyote commanded as he slowly reverted back to his normal form with Husky giving him back his upper uniform. "I believe Nebulla Wolf's ship is up there, and although playing with them is fun, we're in schedule." Tig agreed, and Pangolin picked Wolf up.
"What's taking boss so long?" Lupe grumbled as he sniffed the rose he's holding, "and I thought he said that he'll be back for a while!" He then heard some ship rambling at the desert. His ears made him stand up from his lying position on a couch, and he headed to the bridge.
"You're awake," Hawkin growled back as he saw the narcissistic pretty boy approach them, "and while you're praising your own self, Leon made scans on the desert. Apparently, there's no natural cave form there…"
Foxette also added, "We couldn't contact Rufus because something's jamming our signal. Now that ain't cave type…"
"You said it," The Great Leon confirmed their reactions. "Take a look at the monitor. The cave there is rising... Wait... take a look at this! A flagship is there! From its design and if my memories serve me right, that's Venom class." Arma applauded from the weapons control panel.
"You're really The Great, Leon!" he simply cheered. "All right, we'll see what their baby can do! I'll try to lower their shields so that once they fall, we can rescue Rufus!" Hawkin nodded, and Arma saluted back before preparing.
The Pyre fired two flare shots at the ship. It exploded upon impact to the shields of the ship, and the explosion created a shockwave, covering the whole force field of the shield. As the explosion dissipated, the crew was in shock. The enemy ship wasn't damaged! It also wasn't before long when it fired back with a strong ray. It greatly damaged The Pyre, as it slowly crashed to the sands. Everyone braced themselves.
"This is Coyote Connery speaking," a hologram of Coyote appeared to the monitor, communicating. "I hope you've learned your lesson! Oh, and by the way, we'll be borrowing Rufus and even Wolf for a while. We'll return them to you, we promise, but you'll be begging us to give them back to us once we returned them to you! See ya!" The hologram faded and the communication was cut off. Afterwards, the Coyote's flagship thrust away, leaving their trails a ruined Nebulla Wolf ship.
"They got both Rufus and Wolf," Leon growled, "I can't let Andross and Volgar take them! Who knows what he might do to them!" He slammed his hands to the broken console, enraged.
"I don't know what they're up to," Hawkin added as he started the system repair and after he sent a distress signal to a nearby defense force, "but I'm pretty sure that there'll be surprises awaiting us… We need Star Fox and Galaxy Wulf here… and mainly Fox and Wulf themselves…"
Inside an abandoned factory in Corneria City, two dark leaders approached a restraining device with two creatures in it. Wolf and Rufus were down, fainted, and remained disabled at the restraints. Coyote and his group were impatiently watching the practice. "So, what's the deal with the two?"
"Relax," Volgar, now without his armor, looked like a grey canine breed with his right eye and his left arm made of metal, donning a generic dictator's vest and suit, tamed the coyote. "I'm pretty sure you're anxious to see what'll happen next, but before then…" He looked at Andross and Coyote. "Galaxy Dogs, come forward." A group of four people, mainly Volgar's soldiers, not GE soldiers, entered forward. "If you have Star Coyote, I have galaxy Dogs."
Galaxy Dogs indeed. Four dogs, all of have dog tags. The one with pink leather vest and pants, a collie, spoke, "Name's Eve Private, the team assassin." A greyhound crossed his arms, donning tattered vest and blue pants, with grenades placed at his belt, growled, "Grey Naide is what I am called, and I have a fire fox breed." A Doberman with metal gloves, dark green vest, and blue scarf, then stepped forward while saluting. "Black Kramer, stealth merc." Finally, a yellow wolfdog breed stepped forward. He occasionally throws his neutron blade up, not unleashing it accidentally as if he's playing with it. "Dawg Clayton, best soldier of Sir Volgar, and I simply despise Wulf." Andross applauded.
"I picked them out carefully," Volgar concluded. "They simply hate Wulf and are loyal to me, unlike Rufus, who only joined me for revenge. They're like Star Coyote, who're loyal to you." Andross agreed, but now they mustn't waste time. While Galaxy Dogs and Star Coyote talked to each other, the two scientists started their experiment.
Memories… such precious artifact of the mind, are also small and fragile. What will happen if somebody has the ability to control them? History will be altered, forever… and as the experiment progresses, the memories of the fainted wolves slowly vanished. The realization of Wolf's brotherhood to Fox, the discovery of Rufus' tragedy, Omega's defeat, everything, slowly vanished without a trace. The only thing that remained in their memories was that they're a part of their ex-bosses' armies… their past forms, which have been forgotten, were now resurfaced…
"Ungh… my head…" Rufus grumbled. "What… what happen?" His view turned to Volgar. "Volgar, what happened?" He tried to stand up. Beside him was Wolf, who was once again, distrusting and cocky.
"Damn it…" Wolf mumbled as he looked around. He was surprised to see his left eye recovered. "My, eye, it's back… but how… and weren't Rufus and I about to kick Star Fox's and Galaxy Wulf's sorry tails?"
"You were put into deep sleep," Andross told them, "due to some certain reasons, but you're both awake. I should tell you that your past teams had abandoned you two, so we present you your new teams!" Wolf and Rufus glanced at Star Coyote and Galaxy Dogs, who were watching the whole thing. They pretended it didn't happen.
"Galaxy Dogs and Star Coyote will be of good service to you two," Volgar mentioned as well.
"I can be patient with Rufus, since we both share the same goal," Wolf argued back. The erasing machine probably didn't erase the time when he and Rufus were talking, "but I don't like teams I'm new at. Besides, I'm confident that we can handle them together…"
"Wolf's right," Rufus added to Wolf's message. "They'll be just in a way for our revenge."
"Oh, but their first mission is," Andross and Volgar said accordingly, with grim, "to eliminate them. It would be nice if two veteran haters would assist them…"
Coyote looked at Dawg, who was just still playing with his neutron blade, throwing it up. He then glanced at the two alpha wolves, who finally agreed on tagging with them.
"Okay, we'll go along with them… but they should never get in our way…"
