Chapter 2 – Titania, the Planet Nobody Likes
The next morning (in Cornerian time), Fox, Peppy, and Slippy were in front of the Great Fox's VAC and listened to the recording of Katt's message.
"We should go to Titania and investigate," announced Peppy.
"That's what I was about to say!" said Fox.
"Oh no, not Titania," mumbled Slippy, remembering the incident he had four years ago when he tried to help Fox fight Spyborg and was smacked into Titania, where he was caught in the clutches of the hideous Goras.
"Don't worry. There are going to be no Goras to terrorize you. Besides, you're not going alone," reassured Fox.
"Say, has anyone seen Falco?" asked Peppy.
"Falco? He must be asleep," replied Fox.
"He wasn't in the bunks," added Peppy as ROB came.
"Fa… Fa… Fa… Falco went to Corneria to visit his sick mo… mooooooooo… mom," said the malfunctioning ROB.
"I swear, Slippy, you should fix him right now," said Peppy.
"We'll worry about that later. Right now, we have to go to Titania! So, who is piloting the Great Fox?" asked Fox.
"Let me try!" shouted Slippy.
"Okay Peppy, you can fly the Great Fox," said Fox, leaving Slippy in dismay, again.
So, Peppy flew the Great Fox to Titania.
Katt wasn't faring very well. Her enemies sent a bio-weapon against her. It looked like a fossil, only it was alive. Its arms kept shooting lasers at her. Katt tried to use her Blaster, but it wasn't doing any effect.
"It looks like I made it in time," said Falco from his Arwing.
Then Falco's Arwing shot a Smart Bomb at the fossil, scaring it away. So, it tried to run away, but Falco shot it down by shooting at the back of its head. Then Falco landed and exited his Arwing and went up to Katt.
"I'd knew you'd come," said the voice of Falco's girlfriend.
"Ok Katt, thank goodness you're alive," said Falco, "But seriously, why are you in trouble?"
"That's not important. What's important is that the Lylat System can be in doom, again," said Katt.
By the time Katt began talking to Falco, the Great Fox landed in front of the Titanian Research Station. Then Fox, Slippy, and Peppy went to the front door of the research station, being amazed by how the Research Station is made, especially since it's over lava. But in order to get in, they had to talk to get in through a communicator on the front door.
"Who are you and what do you want?" asked a voice through the other side.
"I am Fox McCloud. This is Peppy Hare and Slippy Toad. We're part of Star Fox, and we are here because we have been told of some suspicions in the Research Station, and therefore, we'd like to investigate," explained Fox.
In the room where the other voice was coming from, the person was accompanied by another tall dog in green military clothes. He nearly looked like General Pepper.
"Should we let him in?" asked the former person.
"Did they just say they're part of Star Fox?" asked the latter person.
"Yes, sir," replied the former person.
"Let them in. They have a lot to know if they think we are up to no good."
Soon, Fox, Peppy, and Slippy were let in. A guard took the three to a room with a table, where the cloaked and masked person called "sir" was waiting for them.
"Sit down, for I think there's a lot of discussion here," said the general.
"What is your name?" asked Fox as the three sat in the chairs around the table.
"My name is Captain Shears," replied the Captain.
"So, what is the Research Station working on?" asked Peppy.
"We are working on a project that required some metal, so that's why we need the lava. It can help us supply some raw materials," replied Captain Shears.
"I see. But in a distress call that made us come here, the person mentioned resurrection, and there are enemies involved in this and the Titanian Research Station," said Fox.
"Okay, I lied. We're not working on a project with raw material for metal. We're making weapons, but they are for the Cornerian Royal Army. The raw material is also for making some equipment needed for experiments. However, Katt Monroe took some of the material, used a genetic sample of Andross, which is his tooth, and began resurrecting him while her allies fought us. We managed to defeat her allies and destroy the Andross clone, but Katt escaped, but we shot down her ship, so we're looking for her, being aware that she can still make a clone of Andross," explained Shears.
"So what you're saying is that Katt is the enemy?" asked Slippy.
"Precisely, she is the enemy," answered Shears.
In Katt's shelter…
"The Titanian Research Station is using a genetic sample of Andross, which is his tooth, to resurrect Andross," explained Katt.
"What? The Titanians are reviving Andross? I always knew Titanians are evil," replied Falco.
"No, the researchers are the last people loyal to Andross in the Lylat System. They think that they can gain power, so that's why they're reviving Andross."
"What should we do?"
"We'll have to think of a plan to attack the Titanian Research Station and stop the resurrection of Andross without being killed," replied Katt.
"But I bet Star Fox should be here any minute, reacting to this experiment and doing what you said we should do," added Falco.
He was wrong. Terribly wrong. In fact, he didn't know that Star Fox was not on his side. In fact, Star Fox's new enemies were Katt and Falco.
