Chapter 5 - Incoming and Out of Control
The Cornerian Defense Satellite was colossus of a satellite. It looked like a rupee, only its sides were uneven with each other. There were Cornerian ships flying around, guarding the satellite, as well as repairing the satellite if it was needed. This is where the forces of Andross' Insurrection struck.
The four Arwings and the two custom ships belonging to Bill and Katt were flying towards the satellite, which was already flying towards Corneria.
"Peppy, what do we have to do here?" asked Fox through the VAC.
"ROB will fill you in with your objectives," replied Peppy.
"Around the satellite, there are seven towers with red orbs. They are the towers that manipulated the satellite into making its crash course to Corneria. You must destroy them in order to stop the satellite," explained ROB.
"Did you hear that team? We have to take down these towers!" said Fox.
Then the six ships flew to the top of the satellite, where there was a raging battle between the enemy, the Cornerian ships, some buildings, and the seven towers. Then the six ships split up.
"Remember, you have to destroy the seven towers in time. Otherwise, Corneria is doomed to destruction!" warned Peppy.
Fox flew around, shooting down the purple and white ships that were the enemy ships. Then he looked at his radar and found a tower. He shot lasers at the red orb in the tower, eventually destroying it.
"One target down!" reported Fox.
"Fox, I can't get this creep away from me!" shouted Slippy, who was being chased by a ship.
However, Falco came and blasted the ship chasing Slippy. Just then, four more ships began chasing Falco. Falco tried doing a somersault, but as he did so, four other ships began chasing Falco.
"Oh no, this isn't good," said Falco as he tried barrel rolling, but the enemy ships kept on shooting.
Then Fox came and blasted the ships chasing Falco.
"Thanks Fox. It looks like I owe you one," thanked Falco.
Meanwhile, Krystal and Katt were taking down enemies like a team. Then Katt destroyed a targeted tower.
"I destroyed a target," reported Katt.
Just then, Katt was being chased by more ships. Krystal shot them down.
"Thanks, I guess you're not bad after all," thanked Katt as she flew away.
"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Krystal as she destroyed another targeted tower.
Meanwhile, Bill went to where there were a lot of ships. He shot a smart bomb at them, destroying them all. Then he spotted another tower, so he shot at the red orb and destroyed it.
"Three targets to go," reported Bill.
Then Slippy tried to take down a ship.
"I want to destroy a ship!" said Slippy as he tried shooting down the ship, but as he shot it down, he saw it was a Cornerian ship, "Oops!"
Just then, he nearly crashed into a tower with a red orb. Just as Slippy flew past, Falco shot at the red orb and destroyed it. Then Slippy tried shooting at whatever he could shoot, and he found another tower.
"Okay, I'm going to take down this tower!" shouted Slippy as he flew towards the enemy.
Just then, he crashed into an enemy ship, damaging his Arwing, being sent out of the way.
"Hey! Why did you have to get in my way?" asked Slippy before turning around and taking the ship down.
Then he looked at the tower he was going to destroy, but he saw Fox already destroyed it.
"That target was mine!" shouted Slippy.
"All right. There's one target to go, but I don't spot it on my radar," reported Falco, "So where is the dumb tower?"
"ROB, find the last target," ordered Fox.
"The last tower is located at the bottom of the tower," reported ROB.
"All right, I'll get it," said Fox as he left to the bottom of the satellite.
Just then, Falco flew behind him and blasted the ships following Fox.
"Hey Fox! You had enemies behind you, so I saved you," said Falco.
"Oh, thanks," replied Fox as he continued flying.
Then he flew to the bottom, where there were more ships. He shot them down easily before destroying the last tower sticking out of the satellite.
"All right, now we just have to take down the enemy ships!" shouted Fox as he began flying towards the top of the satellite before he saw something.
He saw six ships flying towards the satellite. He recognized the shape, or at least, he thought ships' shape was familiar, but he couldn't believe that this was happening.
"No, it can't be. They're dead," thought Fox.
Then one of the ships sped towards Fox and began shooting double red lasers at Fox, who flew out of the way of most of the lasers.
"Wolf! I thought you would have survived," muttered Fox.
"Do you think that Andross' Insurrection would let you off that easily?" asked Wolf as his other teammates began to come.
"Now it's time for you to fall to our wrath," drawled Leon Powalski, speeding his Wolfen towards the top of the satellite, looking for Falco.
"Now we will have victory without interference," drawled Panther Coroso, flying around to look for Krystal.
Then a new member of Star Wolf began talking.
"Your reign of rescuing, as well as your lives, will end here!" shouted Will E. Coon, the new raccoon member of Star Wolf.
"We will rip you all apart into pieces," growled Drake Ursa, the new bear member of Star Wolf.
"I'm hungry for your PAIN!" shouted Vickie Rosemary, the new wolf member of Star Wolf who was also Wolf's girlfriend.
"All right. Will, Drake, and Vickie, look for a target who you can take down!" ordered Wolf as he kept chasing Fox on top of the satellite, shooting at him.
So Will chased after Bill, Drake chased after Katt, and Vickie chased after Slippy.
"Yikes! I never thought that I'd be chased after another Star Wolf member in my life!" shouted Slippy as he tried his best to steer away from Vickie.
"That's because you don't belong here, nerd!" shouted Vickie.
"I'm not a nerd!" retorted Slippy, "Well, maybe a little."
"Help Fox! I can't get this creep off of me!" shouted Krystal, who was being chased by Panther.
So Fox flew to Krystal and Panther. Then he shot at Panther's Wolfen.
"Krystal, it doesn't have to be this way. If you dump McCloud and join me, as well as Star Wolf, you'll have the best life ever," said Panther as he flew away from Fox's range of fire.
"Just ignore him, Krystal. He never had a girlfriend in his life," said Fox.
"I know, and that's why I think he's a creep," replied Krystal.
Meanwhile, Falco managed to chase after Leon for a moment. He shot a charged shot at Leon's Wolfen, damaging it. Just then, Leon did a somersault and began shooting at Falco. Then Falco flew behind a building. When Leon went to look for him, Falco flew over the building and out of Leon's sight.
"Drat, that birdbrain flew away," muttered Leon.
Drake already damaged Katt's ship enough to make it look too battered by Katt's standards, which wasn't that bad.
"I'll teach you to mess up my ship!" shouted Katt as she turned around and began flying towards Drake while shooting.
"Oh, you like to play games? I don't like games, but I think I like you," said Drake.
"Hands off of Katt!" shouted Falco.
Meanwhile, Drake was flying towards Katt who was flying towards him. When they were about to crash into each other, Drake flew out of the way. Then Katt began chasing Drake while shooting charged shots at Drake. Then Drake did a U-Turn to attempt an escape, but he accidentally crashed into Katt's ship before crashing into a building, disabling his Wolfen, which was seriously battered.
"Damn it! How could I lose to this… girl!" asked Drake.
"Watch your mouth, you scumbag," replied Katt.
Slippy was not faring very well to Vickie. Fox decided to help Slippy by chasing Vickie.
"Oh, so, you want a two-on-one, eh? Take this!" shouted Vickie.
Fox shot a charged shot at Vickie, but she did a barrel roll to deflect the charged shot. Then Fox shot some lasers. Vickie did a somersault, making the lasers make contact with Slippy's Arwing.
"Hey Fox! I'm not an enemy!" shouted Slippy.
"Do you think I shot at you on purpose?" asked Fox as he was being chased by both Vickie and Wolf.
"Let's take him down together," shouted Wolf.
"It'll be a pleasure," replied Vickie as both Wolfens began chasing Fox.
Then Slippy did a U-turn and shot lasers at Vickie's Wolfen, sending her away from Fox.
"You nerd of a toad! I'll kill you!" shouted Vickie.
Meanwhile, Wolf continued shooting at Fox. Some of the shots made contact with Fox, but then he did a somersault and began shooting at Wolf.
"You think that will work? Think again!" shouted Wolf as he adjusted his Wolfen, speeding away from Fox.
Then the Wolfen turned around and shot stronger lasers at Fox. One laser lobbed Fox's Arwing's wing off.
"Damn it!" shouted Fox as he tried to keep flying and shooting down Wolf.
Meanwhile, Falco found Leon and began shooting at him. Just then, Leon did a somersault and began shooting at Falco.
"Now you will face the wrath of the Great Leon!" shouted Leon, looking at Falco's Arwing.
"Hey Not-so-Great Leon, look away from me and you'll see metal coming right towards you," said Falco.
Leon looked ahead of him and saw Vickie's Wolfen.
"Ahh! I have to get away!" shouted Leon as he tried to steer his Wolfen away.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" shrieked Vickie as she tried to steer away.
Instead, their Wolfens crashed into each other as both Wolfens were disabled.
"Bah! I'm foiled again!" exclaimed Leon.
"Oh shut up. You did it yourself, you idiot!" retorted Vickie.
"Shut up and just look out for your face!" retorted Leon.
"It's ruined because of you!" shouted Vickie.
Meanwhile, Panther decided to make chasing Krystal easier, and that's if he takes care of Fox first. He saw that Wolf already weakened him down. Panther began charging up a shot to use on Fox. Meanwhile, Wolf was enjoying this moment.
"You're too easy! I can take you down in my sleep!" taunted Wolf.
Then Wolf shot a charged shot that was meant for Fox, but then, Panther flew in the way to release his charged shot, so it was Panther's Wolfen that was damaged, so Panther was sent flying away.
"You fool! You should know better than flying in my way when I'm going to kill my prey!" shouted Wolf.
Then Fox used the distraction to do a somersault. Fox shot lasers at Wolf's Wolfen, lobbing two of Wolf's Wolfen's four wings off. That was enough for Wolf's disabled Wolfen crashing onto the satellite.
"Drat! I was defeated by Fox again!" shouted Wolf as he punched the Wolfen's systems in rage, almost electrifying himself.
Meanwhile, Bill was chasing Will's Wolfen, shooting at him.
"The situation would be just the opposite if Star Fox hadn't got lucky against Star Wolf!" shouted Will before turning his Wolfen around and shooting at Bill, who was shooting at Will at the same time.
Then Bill used the boost to fly towards Will. But Will knew what he was expected to do, so he flew away from Bill and began chasing him while shooting at the same time after some flying.
"Oh crap. I can't believe I got myself into this position!" exclaimed Bill, who was trying to evade Will's shots.
Then Falco flew to the scene and began shooting at Will's Wolfen.
"What are you doing!" Will asked Falco.
"Let's just say I want this battle to end quickly," replied Falco.
Then Will turned his ship around and began shooting at Falco when Bill shot a charged shot at Will's Wolfen, shooting it down and disabling it.
"Damn! I knew being in Wolf's team is a horrible idea," muttered Will.
"I heard that!" Wolf said through the VAC, "You left your VAC on."
At that time, Krystal shot Panther's Wolfen down, disabling it.
"No! Nothing is working out!" exclaimed Panther.
Before leaving, Fox decided to do some interrogation.
"All right, Wolf, where is Prime Minister Abercrombie?" asked Fox.
"Why do you think we would tell you?" asked Wolf.
"I asked first, so answer!" replied Fox.
"Oh, so, you want to know? Will, tell him. I think you know more than we do," ordered Wolf.
"What?" asked Will.
"Just say something! Say anything!" Wolf said to Will through the VAC, not connected to Fox.
"All right," Will said before talking to Fox through the VAC, "Agatha told me that Prime Minister Abercrombie is either in Macbeth or the Sector W Asteroid Belt."
"Are you speaking the truth, or are you just saying something random to mislead me?" asked Fox.
"We're speaking the truth," replied Drake.
"Now leave," ordered Wolf.
"I know you're lying, but we'll find out where he is. Trust me," said Fox.
So, Fox's Arwing flew away to the Great Fox. The Star Wolf members waited there until the Andross' Insurrection flagship would come to pick up the Wolfens.
"So, anyone want to play some games to pass the time, like, I Spy?" asked Will.
"Shut up," replied Drake.
Character Analysis: Wolf O'Donnell:
Age: 32
Species: Wolf
He is a few years older than Fox McCloud. He is the notorious leader of Star Wolf. In a previous struggle in his life, he lost his left eye, so for years, he had to use eye patches before using a mechanical eye. He has a life-long grudge against Fox, although during the Aparoid menace, he once saved Fox's life from the Aparoids before helping him with the rest of the team (Leon and Panther). After the destruction of the Aparoid Home world, it was known that he was dead, but that was when Andross' Insurrection saved Star Wolf. Since then, his life was more dedicated to Andross' Insurrection than usual. He is the best flyer in the Star Wolf team. Not much is known about his childhood, but Fox and Wolf knew each other when they were young. His father, Ralph O'Donnell, was killed in the Battle of Sector Y.
Leon Powalski:
Age?
Species: Chameleon
He, along with Wolf, were part of the original Star Wolf team (the one with Pigma Dengar and Andrew Oikonny). He has a life-long rivalry with Falco Lombardi, and when Star Wolf worked with Star Fox during the Aparoid menace, Leon would tease or get in arguments with Falco. He is the second best flyer in the Star Wolf team. As a criminal, he is deadly and enjoys playing cat and mouse against his foes before killing them. He always has been dedicated to Andross ever since he became a criminal.
Panther Coroso:
Age?
Species: Panther
He was a criminal for decades. He prefers to have a symbol as a criminal, and that is a rose. He is a ladies man, but because he tries too hard to be a ladies man (and a pervert), no females have ever liked Panther (besides his mother and female relatives, but they're his relatives). He joined Star Wolf around the time of the Aparoid menace. He has a crush on Krystal, but she doesn't like Panther at all. The scar over his right eye is from the many struggles in his criminal past. He doesn't really care about Andross. All he cares about is his rewards from his jobs.
Will E. Coon:
Age: 28
Species: Raccoon
Will was born to be an artist. In fact, that was his dream, until his father was executed by the Cornerian authority for theft of the Cornerian bank, for the Coon family was poor. Since then, he lived a life of crime. However, he tried to kill Andross to steal his riches. He failed, but he was spared by joining Andross. After the Aparoid menace, he became a superior of Andross' Insurrection and became a member of Star Wolf. He always goes around wearing a green beret given to him from his father.
Drake Ursa:
Age: 29
Species: Bear
Drake was born in a poor village in Katina. He developed a disease as a child and was going to die, when his family brought him to Andross, thinking that Andross could help Drake. He did with his advanced medicines, and therefore, Drake dedicated himself to Andross. Out of the members of Star Wolf, Drake is the strongest in physical strength, only coming second to Emory in Andross' Insurrection. He joined Star Wolf around the time Will E. Coon joined.
Vickie Rosemary:
Age: 25
Species: Wolf
Vickie Rosemary was a girl (quickly orphaned) Wolf knew from his childhood. They didn't see each other again for another 20 years. She was part of Andross' Insurrection, but she was only a nurse. She helped cure Wolf after he was barely rescued from the Aparoid Home world. After that, Wolf and Vickie had a relationship with each other, although Wolf prefers it if Vickie stops pestering Wolf all of the time. She is a white wolf and wears a pink bow on her right ear. She is the only Star Wolf member who is not a superior of Andross' Insurrection. She is the worst pilot in Star Wolf.
