I'm sorry about the really long wait but school's started and I've got tons of homework. I'll try to update often. I've starting making this look like Phoenix from the Ashes with the quotes at the beginning, sorry Destructor! Wow, I started writing this chapter months ago, then I forgot about it. I hope I still write as good as I used to. Now that Falco and Slippy are away from each other maybe we'll get some peace. Well the arguments will stop anyway. As for peace.

Chapter 3-Freedom of Coerneria, Part 2

"Now that Falco and Slippy are away from each other maybe we'll get some peace." - Fox and Peppy's thoughts right now

Military Complex, Corneria, Lylat System

Fox and Falco jogged swiftly through the empty corridors, pausing before each intersection of hallways to look for Venomian lizard troops. So far it seemed they were further into the building, which was boring Falco quickly; not that anything below life threating ever held his interest for very long.

"C'mon Fox! They're further in. What's with all the sneaking around?" Falco said angerly, but he at least had the brain capacity to remain quiet.

Fox sighed, Falco was going to be the death of him someday. "Falco, there might be some patrolling guards around here."

"And? We can take a few guards." Again, Fox sighed. "The point is if one of them has enough time, he can call the others on his comm. Then the whole building will know we're here."

"Bring 'em on! I prefer the challenge."

Fox peered around another corner. He whipered back to Falco, "Fine, take this one; quietly." He moved back allowing Falco to lean against the wall for cover. He turned so he could see the lizard, aimed the gun and fired. The shot hit its mark and the lizard fell to the ground writhing in pain. Falco non too gently kicked the flailing body and looked around the next corner. He then checked the other hallway to the right and saw the same thing. He padded silently back to Fox.

"There's three on each side. Shock troopers; armed with blaster rifles, not pistols."

Fox reached into his pocket and pulled out a few things. He handed Falco a pair of ear plugs and showed him what the other object was. "Sound Grenade. It'll knock them unconsious for at least two hours." Fox put his own ear plugs in and threw the grenade. It activated when it hit the ground and they heard some thumps as the troopers fell to the ground.

For the next fourty-five seconds every trooper they saw was on the ground, unconsious. Excecpt one. Fox and Falco had gotten careles; and now the entire building would be after them if they didn't catch the trooper they ran into.

"We can't let 'em get away!" Fox grunted as he ran after him. He fired of a few shots when he could see the lizard.

"We're gaining on him!" Falco said hapily. "Maybe your mistake would screw us over, now." "My mistake! You were ahead of me!" They got so buisy arguing that they once again ran into troops, this time literally. The lizards were suprised, even though they knew they were coming. Fox and Falco had time to duck around corners and get ready for a firefight. "I think they're outnumbered! It's seven against one!" Falco said sarcasticly. Fox's communicater beeped. "Yeah? Um Peppy, we're kinda biusy now."

"Fox, you're not going to beleive this..."
