Hey folks! You wouldn't be expecting me so soon huh? Well it's a rainy day and I decided to continue my story. Maybe if there are more rainy days like this, the story will be finished. Hehehehee...okay as we last left off, Ava found out that Wolf went AWOL for his mission in Corneria but if he plays his cards right in the battlefield, he is determined to come back alive. While reading the letter she got a surprise call from Zane Godhand the de facto leader of the Gullwings (the name is going to be changed according to her). She informed Ava that if she was to interfere with her relationship with Wolf she would certainly pay the price.( Do I sense a bit of jealousy in her?) Back to Ava, now as she read the letter she also was informed that she was accepted into the band of mercenaries. Even though that was great news Ava, sure as hell wasn't in the festive mood. As for Wolf, he had a man-to-man talk with Leon Powalksi, one of his most trusted wingbeasts in Star Wolf while they were going to head towards Venom first to lock and load before the Cornerian assault. Leon, is strictly disciplined to win the fight and especially exterminate Falco Lombardi (I personally don't know what he's got against Falco but it's best to keep my mouth shut eh?)... Well that's where it left off...nothing more to say except please read and review Part VI of my story? Thanks and enjoy! Oh This marks the 10,000 plus word barrier breaker! Yay! WHOOPIE! Pops confetti Yeah, I am hopeless... : ( Heheheheheh...okay on with the story!
Ava-Vincent By Sol-Ratcht Saporro
Part VI
"In this world you either fight or get left for your corpse to rot. I don't have a choice and neither do you..."—Wolf O' Donnell
Wolf's Narrative
As my team and I approached the docking bay, we were anticipating the new and improved Wolfens that an engineer has taken under her own wing to ensure that they were in peak performance. Her name, Dr. Julia Yarborough. She was a little older than me, a gold-tawny mixture fox that has a vast knowledge. She's Fox's cousin but she could care less about Corneria which is why we hired her to work as one of the chief engineers at the newly renovated Venomian Supply Depot. (Author's Note: In case you forgot, the Star Fox Team decimated the original depot at Macbeth if you were able to activate all the eight switches when it came to the boss of Macbeth. Okay sorry for the interruption!) She has no alliance with either Venom or Corneria so she's more of a bias worker. I don't blame her. We are both in it for the money that's all...
She, along with some other science nuts, has been constructing a new prototype weapon for the Wolfen II. She always leaves the team in suspense. Damn her... Well as my comrades and I finally arrived at the docking bay of the Depot she warmly greeted us with a motif of a business woman. That's another thing I like about her.
"Good day Mr. O' Donnell, Mr. Powalski, Mr. Dengar and Mr. Oikonny. As you can see, we are finally finished with your weapon upgrades so that you guys can get through your mission with the utmost of ease." Dr. Yarborough announced
"So Julia, will you gi----..." I was frankly interrupted of course by Julia herself. I like messing with the high-strung engineers by omitting their titles and all...It's an inside joke to me.
"Hey Hey HEY! I didn't go to a Gold Accredited (Like Ivy League) University for my professional degrees in Physics and Chemistry just to be called "Julia". "Mrs. Yarborough's" is bad enough but "Julia"...That's just a low blow." Dr. Yarborough rationalized with me.
"Okay sorry Julia. That won't happen again Julia. Hey did you hear me JULIA?" I snickered a bit to myself as I observed Dr. Yarborough shaking her fist really violently attempting to contain her anger.
"Hmph...sigh, Never mind..." Dr. Yarborough said under her breath. "Gentlemen, as I was saying, I will give a brief demonstration on the tutorial of your weapons. Er, Shall we?" As Julia paced forward leading the way towards the lobby of the Depot.
As we were en route to the Observation Wing of the Experiment floor I noticed how shook up Andrew was. Oh Boy, this pussy needs to toughen up if he's going to be with Star Wolf any longer...Maybe I should talk to him to ease the anxiety...Tch, man I do not like doing this type of crap...
"Yo Andrew, what seems to be the problem? You gotta keep up if you wanna see the demonstartion come on..." I nudged at him.
"Sir, I am a little nervous...We NEVER go unto enemy territory...Especially the main Public enemy number ONE Corneria." Andrew bugged out.
Leon and Pigma were compelled to stay and see what was taking us so long but I just signaled them to continue on and we'll catch up at a slower pace.
As they caught up with Julia, Andrew and I started talking again.
"Andrew, please tell me you are not chickening out on me? Especially when I need ALL of my crew together. Hey, even though it may not look like it we are a team and we gotta look out for each other y'know?"
"Well come on now, did you even consider how strong the Cornerian Armada is...And the fact that they got the Galaxy Police on their side! There are a mass of cops who are on my tail let alone the team's tail in general. We should just drop this mission altogether." Andrew panicked
That statement alone made me want to knock the living shit out of Andrew...Yeah yeah he can be a pest but he used to be bold and daring...I never thought he would say this especially when we did all those laborious hours of training. He usually just goes on with it...
"Grrrrrrr..." I couldn't help but growl and squint my good eye and lowered my head to the ground.
"Sir, are you okay?" Andrew had some shakiness in his voice when he asked me that.
"Okay...heh-heh-heh-heh...he wants to know if I am okay..."
"Ummmmm...Sir?"
At that point...I don't know what made me do it but I guess it's from all the sadness I've been going through...
BAM!
Everyone stopped what they were doing and checked to see what had happened...
In a split second I grabbed Andrew's head with one of my hands and I rammed it on a nearby Plexiglas window. I did it with so much force that I cracked it and some pieces were able to shatter. As I looked up I noticed everyone was staring with awe in a way that wasn't good. I realized what I have done and slowly released Andrew's head from my grasp. I was even in shock. Blood was trickling from the nape of Andrew's neck and from his head there was fragments of glass. The window didn't look any better... If I could describe how the window looked I would say like somebody threw a chair at the widow and merely cracked it. Blotches of Andrew's blood tainted the window. Wow, I am in for it now...
"Good Lord Sir...", A Male Badger Scientist rushed to the scene " Do you realized what you've just done! GET A MEDIC OVER HERE NOW!" The Scientist bellowed a cry for help.
Commotion and propaganda surround Wolf and his unconscious comrade as they wait for the medical team to arrive...
Meanwhile at the Observation Wing...(A/N: This is in 3rd Person POV)
"Gaaaahhh! What is taking them so long? The operators are becoming weary from proofing the frickin' munition all night... I knew I should've stayed behind everyone to make sure that everyone got into the room..." Dr. Yarborough threw a tantrum
"Do not worry Chief I am sure that they turn up soon...Although I myself am concerned too." Leon consoled her
"Heh-heh...yeah stay here with us a bit longer. Besides we can sure use your type of company...Hee-hee-hee-hee..." Pigma grotesquely suggested
"Ugh...facetious swine...Now I know for a fact I am going to check on those other two..." Dr. Yarborough left with zealousness to search for Wolf and Andrew but before she left she expressed, "Thank you Leon. Not many people especially soldiers understand the stress and responsibility that we scientists go through every time Venom declares war...It's HECTIC! Heheheeh...Well I'll be on my way now..." Dr. Yarborough left briskly
"Psssshaw...she know she wants me..." Pigma retorted in a tardy manner
"Heheheeh..." Leon couldn't help but chuckle a little bit
"Whoa! That's news to me! You, LAUGHING! Wow...what is Venom coming to now a days?" Pigma had a wry sense of humor just then. But when it comes to it he always does.
"N-never mind...We'll just wait until Julia comes back with Wolf and Andrew."
"Yeah...well if you don't mind me I'll be taking a snooze cruise..." Pigma said as he plopped his plump body on the couch in the room and drifted into sleep.
"Hmmmmm..." Leon sighed...Lazy ass good-for-nothing! Then he payed attention towards the raucous outside of the room and he took a seat near the window and observed all of what went on quietly...
Wolf's Narrative
As I was stunned by all that has happened, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was raring at me
like I was some sideshow freak or something. A circle of eyes surveyed my every thought pattern like they knew what I was going. Then my angelic chief engineer came to see me. She was in a haste like manner But then when she approached Andrew and I, all hell broke loose...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What the fuck happened here? Huh? Wolf tell me! Oh my God what is going on...I don't believe this" As she pointed out Andrew's state of unconsciousness "Oh my God if the authorities see this they'll------AHHHH!" I snatched her at the close-call moment and dragged her with me to a secluded lounge area so we could talk in private well at least with all the commotion going on around Andrew and all.
I opened the door and flung her in the room. She ricocheted off of the nearby table and she clutched her right oblique. "Owww..." She moaned "Why did you do that? I just wanted to talk to you about what happened to Mr. Oikonny. Oh jeez, this hurts like hell...Ugh..." Dr. Yarborough trembles and clutches her side even more. But somehow she managed to get up with a little wincing and gritting her teeth.
"Julia are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you I was just try'na get you into the room without all the noise. Let me see what I did here..." As I was attempting to see what I did with the injury of Dr. Yarborough she suddenly shouts:
"NO! Let go you pervert! AHHHH!" Julia blared like a siren, fortunately I was able to cover her mouth
"Julia! I was just going to lift up your shirt just to the point if I could see bruising and stuff. Calm down okay."
"Yeah yeah...I bet you did want to see some "stuff" Hmmph..." As Dr. Yarborough turned her nose upward she was obviously in pain..."Owwww!" She said as plotted herself on the couch.
"Julia...wait. Lie down don't stress the pain even more..." I instructed her
"Oh okay...But could you tell me what the hell happened back there?"She did as I told her to do.
"Okay look it's a long story but I'll cut it short...Andrew said that, "We should just drop this mission altogether" like we can do that. Besides we as a whole worked too hard to just "drop this mission" okay? I tell my guys right before any mission, "In this world you either fight or get left for your corpse to rot. I don't have a choice and neither do you..." So he knew what I was talking about from the jump start. Then afterwards my temper got the best of me and what you saw was the aftermath."
"But why a drastic option as to injuring your comrades? Couldn't you just talk him down from his anxiety?"
"NO! OKAY? NO! That quitting shit alone just pissed me off Julia! I left the one thing that changed my value of life Julia... I...I" I couldn't help but cry...right in front of Dr. Julia Yarborough.
"Wolf, what was it? Huh? You can tell me...I'll keep your secrets. I promise you." She managed to soothe my pain little by little. Then she positioned herself to sit upward and extend her arms out towards me "Come to me Wolf...come on don't be afraid. Like you said we all function as a whole so if you got a problem so do I and I am here as a friend okay?"
"Oh Julia, sniff sniff it's not what but who. I left a special lady for what a mission that now my teammates are even thinking about quitting. Now I am sure I lost her for good...sigh..."
"Hey don't say that...I mean yeah it's rough to lose someone so close but just keep in touch with her and you know the rest will work out it's ways. I am sure of it!" Julia remained optimistic and inspired me to try her ideas. I decided to join her on the couch and lay there in her arms for a little while until time passed by.
"Julie I...I...I thank you. You are a great friend."
"No problem Wolf. But you know if Andrew pulls out through all of this, would you still consider him to help out?"
"Yeah...he HAS too. He is obligated just as much as I am... You know I was up for anything as long as the money was decent. But after I met Ava...Oh Shit...I said her name. I wonder if Julia's gonna go crazy? Whoops. Uh, never mind...Forget what I just said." I averted the conversation.
"So, the lucky girl's name is Ava huh? That's nice. But Wolf let me give you a piece of advice, a woman's heart is like a vault, once you're in you're in but once you're out you're out. Please don't let this one go if she's your real passion. Okay?"
"Yeah. Don't you worry Julia. I won't...I won't. Hey Julia?"
"Yeah?"
"Does your sides still hurt?"
"Now that you mentioned it, the pain has numbed down dramatically. Thanks for asking though."
"That's good to hear..." I yawned in between "Yup good to hear."
"Wolf now it's your turn to lie down. Rest your head on my lap and take 5 okay? You were shaken up by this whole ordeal. So rest my good friend, you deserve it. I'll wake you up if I hear about Andrew and we will proceed with the demonstration if you like okay? Sounds good?"
"Yeah Julie. Thanks again"
"Okay you're welcome." As I did what she requested me to do she hums a beautiful lullaby and strokes my head in a sedative somniferous way which took its toll 5 minutes into the comfort zone and I phase off into my deep sleep with Julia or Dr. Yarborough as my guardian angel.
Ava's Narrative
As I exited the hotel accommodations I trudged back home in a sullen maudlin type of manner. I wonder to myself, would I ever see Wolf again? I guess now's the real time to stop acting so cheery and look at reality more often. People do die but I seriously pray that Wolf won't come out to be one of those people... As I was nearing home I noticed Randt the host from The Black Rose restaurant two days ago.
"Hey Mr. Randt how are you?"
"Ava? Ava! How are you honey? I must admit I was a little worried when Mr. O'Donnell came to me that you were unconscious and I just did my best to help out that's all."
"I wanted to thank you but afterwards I never got the chance. So Mr. Randt, you still holding up at The Black Rose restaurant?"
"Ava, my love, please just call me Randt. It's my first name. Yeah I am still working there it gets busy as usual."
"Oh well that's good. You see I was on my way home and I wanted to say "Hi" and "Thank you for saving my life basically hee-hee-hee!"
"Well anything for a beautiful young lady such as yourself..." Randt bends down on one knee to kiss my hand Oh Boy...I got that feeling all over again...I am charmed by Randt. He seems so nice and all.
"See you around!" I waved and winked at him. I still think he's cute for a brindle-fox and I absolutely ADORE his smile.
"Say Ava, I wanted to know are you free on Fridays? I wanna take you out for a night on the town or village in this case..." Randt blushed when he said that...
Oh but what about Wolf? I still have feelings for him...sigh...I guess I can see Randt but only as a buddy-buddy type of thing. I still have very strong emotions towards Wolf and I want to remain loyal to him. I want to be there when he comes back. I pray for your return Wolf... "Ummm...okay. A night on the Village seems great! What time?" I must discipline myself though.
"Oh okay. I'll pick you up at around 6:00 in the evening sounds good?"
"Whatever sounds good to you! I'll just be ready!"
"Bye beautiful!"
"Bye handsome!" I walked to my house finally for some rest and a reunion with my worried parents or mom. I know one thing, I won't let anything get in the way of my love for Wolf no matter how strong temptation can be.
End of Part VI
Sol-Ratcht's Commentary
Wow...Wolf really opened up to a co-worker name in a way that almost made me wanna go cry to a good friend. It seems like there are two sides to Wolf after all. A sweet and docile side when it comes to Ava and other women. A harsh strict Manly man when it comes to Venomian alliances and inter-planetary wars and stuff. What will the Star Wolf team do now that Andrew's in critical condition and Wolf now has to toughen up in order to fight Corneria? Dr. Julia Yarborough is trying her best to strengthen Wolf's emotions. Hopefully she will be the inspiration behind Venoms successful raid and Wolf will be with Ava after all of this is over. Please join me for Part VII as more is revealed and the day for the Cornerian raid will soon take place! Thanks everyone for there moral support of course I appricate each and every letter, character and number of your reviews! Well until next time folks Take care of yourselves and each other. Goodbye!
