Hello, greetings to all! Sol-Ratcht Saporro back for Part X! And I must say, I am terribly sorry for the delay, this is going to be a little bit longer than Ava's. As we last left off with our lupinic costar, Wolf and his team were about to go off into space for his infiltration raid in Corneria. Andrew Oikonny quit the team in frustration to Julia's smart remark and Julia decided for a form of redemption to join the Star Wolf team and help them out. After the brief meeting, Andrew was waiting for Julia to attack at the right moment. Wolf's Special Chapter.
Ava-Vincent By Sol-Ratcht Saporro
"This time….it gets serious….and we have two options….Survive or Die trying. I don't know about you guys, but option number one sounds good to me."----Dr. Julia Yarborough
Prologue: 3rd Person
As Julia left the docking bay she was going to change out of her science outfit and into a "special" little number she was given for desperate measures. She briskly walked down the hallway and arrived at her room which was located right before the stairway/end of the hall. She opened the door and took a quick survey around her room. Nothing out of the ordinary. Her desk was still organized, her closet wasn't tampered with and not a sound was heard. She nodded to herself that everything was okay and proceeded to get changed into her special outfit.
A few minutes later, she was ready for war. She had army boots on, black army fatigue pants, a tight black shirt that seemed like a low mid-drift and a collar that had her name on it. She also was in search for her bulletproof vest that the Venomians issued her when she first came in. "Ah! Found it!" She exclaimed as she slipped it on. "There! I can't wait to see the look on my comrades faces….They won't even believe it's me! Oh shit….I almost forgot." Julia looked at her pants "I need to go get some weapons from the itinerary." She left out of her room and did an alternating run/walk to get to the supply room. It wasn't that far off. Just around the corner of the residential part and down the hall. "Okay, almost there…" Julia said
"Whew…made it." She opened the door of the supply room and she literally dropped her jaw….."WOW! I didn't know we had all of this? THIS IS AWESOME! Hmmm….I wonder what should I get first?" She placed two large hunting knives in her components located on each of her ankles. Then she moved over towards the regular good old blasters….These weren't the rechargeable ones though these required clips and such. She grabbed two of those and put them in holsters that already come equipped with it on the sides of her pants. "Awwww…..these suck…..I wish we had the rechargeable ones. I guess I was right…we really aren't made of money. Oh! There's a Y-band for this….that's good. Whew…" (A Y-band is a Y-shaped fast clip replacer used for blasters used for in the midst of a battle. It can reload two blasters at once. And it is placed on the gun holder's pants in the back. ) She wielded one of those as well. "OOOOH! Julie likes!" Pointing towards the sub-machine gun rack. "I think I'll take this and an assault rifle and I am finished." So she did just that and left the vicinity. "Hmmmm…..now I am a real army chick!" She giggled to herself and headed back to her room.
As she made the pseudo-long journey back to her room, she stopped midway and narrowed her eyes…..Something doesn't smell right…..I'll be a little more careful around these hallways….. She opened the door to her room and put down her rifle and machine gun on the nearby dresser. "Oh Shit! I forgot to close the door." She turned around and stopped in shock……
"No, allow me…..hee-hee-hee-hee!" A sinister laughter followed and the door closed revealing Andrew Oikonny in the flesh
"WH-what the hell are you doing here? You were supposed to leave this area at once…… I am filling in your spot since you quit the team altogether. That's pretty fucked up though, I had to admit. So I thought that I could pitch in….the best way possible."
"Well, I'll make sure that your pretty face never sets out of this room…..EVER!"
"Well, Mr. Oikonny, I'd love to see you try and hit me….." Julia scoffs
"With pleasure……HEEEEYAAAH!" Andrew lunges at Julia with quite force and Julia throws her hands in front of her body to prevent him from actually hitting her. Then she grabs one of her blasters and Andrew notices the gun so he quickly knocks it to the ground.
Andrew attempts to swing at her with a left hook but Julia catches it and takes out her second blaster and pulls the trigger. Andrew jerks the hand that is caught by her forward and makes her miss when she fired the gun. "Dammit!" She screams and she pushes Andrew away and attempts to fire once more. Andrew simply ducked the shot and had a chance to deliver a cheap shot to Julia's stomach.
"Ugh….Ack!" Julia groans as she coughs repeatedly and clutches her abdomen. Andrew laughs and trips her to the ground then all in one swoop he bends down and again punches her in the stomach….. "Ooof!" Julia clutches her stomach again and rolls to the side to try and compensate for her pain. She attempts to get up but the immense pain of Andrew's punches made her curdle into a ball on the ground. She then was able to get up on her fours but, Andrew looking amused decided to kick her in the oblique section of her stomach….
"OOOOHH! AAAAHH! God…DAMMIT! Fucking asshole….why don't you….f-fight like a man? Stop fighting like a pussy and aim for my FACE instead of my stomach you dick!" Julia was in horrid pain as she wailed and groaned intensely
"For what? I didn't complain when you were all high and mighty with the heel towards my back…..You see you are weak when you don't have Wolf or any other member of Star Wolf baby sitting you. You're pathetic…." Andrew grabbed Julia by the hair to raise her head which made her scream at equal intervals
"Ugh……you make me sick you know that…..I feel it's you that is the pathetic one. Here you are only attacking my stomach trying to make me holler when you aren't even fighting like a real make….. If you had the guts, come on and FIGHT ME LIKE A REAL MAN WOULD!" That stalled enough time for Julia to do a fancy maneuver which really demonstrates her flexibility. She pushed herself up with her two hands, then slid back a few inches and lifted herself off the ground in a reverse kick up style knocking Andrew down all in a flash. Then she got enough rage in her to challenge Andrew out….. "Come on monkey boy! Let's rumble!" And she got into a boxing stance "I am gonna fuck you up!"
"Grrr…." Andrew staggered a little bit while getting up "Bring it bitch!" Andrew had no idea what he was getting himself into. Yet alone, know a decent fighting style. All he did was what he did best…..charge at people….
Julia, saw this coming and said…. "Tch….this again…..you really need to know how to fight…" Julia stepped to the side and unsheathed one of her blades to deal with this monkey. When Andrew passed her he stopped but he felt the siring pain of the blade as it ran across his back. The rich flow of that good deep red liquid followed after the impact.
"OWWW!" Andrew yelled out loud. The laceration caused him to take plenty of steps back and crash right into a wall…. "That fucking hurt….."
"Awwww…..do you want to go home to mommy? I'll be sure to send you in a stretcher first class…" Julia mocked and twirled the hunting knife in her face and in his view.
Then Andrew noticed the blaster that he had knocked on the floor earlier in the bout. Then he had a sly comment…. "No thank you but…." He went closer in her direction and eying the blaster at his right side, and then he collapsed right next to the firearm.
Andrew faking a groaning sound and staying on his fours attempting to crawl over towards her. "Ohhhhhnnrrrr….Ugh…. God, you win Julia…..You….win."
Hmmmnnn……I don't believe that monkey…..I'd better keep a close eye on him….He thinks he's so slick.
Andrew looked up and smiled, and began to say, "No thank you but, it's you who will need the stretcher not me…." Then Andrew grabbed the gun and quickly aimed at Julia….Unfortunately for Andrew, Julia noticed that from the start and she kicked the gun out of his hand with extreme force. So much force that she broke three fingers and the wrist.
" Gyaaahhh! That hurt!" Andrew clutched his injured hand and curled up just like Julia did not too long ago.
"Well now….." Julia cracked a smile "I do believe Mr. Oikonny, that you were trying to pull a fast one on me, weren't you?"
"Wh-Wh-What are you talking about Julia….I...I mean Dr. Yarborough?"
"Come on now, you don't have to lie, big guy……Just admit it. You were going to shoot me when you had the chance."
"Yes…YES! I did want to shoot you for my own sake."
"Well…" Julia was taken aback by Andrew's response "That's very good that you told the truth……but let me hint you one word of advice…..If I may?"
"Ummmm….yeah?"
"You should've taken the shot……. when you had the CHANCE!" Julia then dropped to the floor dramatically, rolled forward, climbed on top of Andrew's back, wrapped her arm around Andrew's neck with one hand and the other got the spare hunting knife. Within a split second she cut the neck of Andrew from side to side and the complimentary blood flow fountained out of his cut. All he managed to get out was, "Nnnnf…" before the blade penetrated his fur.
Julia then got up and dusted herself off….. "What a hassle…..now who is going to help me clean up this mess….? Hmmm….hnnnnn…..HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!" Julia, not being able to contain herself, laughs out of the room leaving the dead carcass to reek and leave a noisome scent in her room.
As Julia, leaves to rendezvous with the boys, she spots an old squirrel sanitation engineer (that's what they liked to be called) and walks over to him, "Excuse me sir, could you go to my room and get rid of some garbage…..?" She said sweetly "You can say it's almost like something died in there."
"O-Oka-Okay madam, I'll get right on it right away." The squirrel tips his hat in respect to her.
"Thank you so much…..Muah! My hero!" She kisses him on the side of his mouth and walks off seductively
"Oh…Boy.." The squirrel blushes and heads in the direction of her room.
As Julia walks off to the docking bay, Julia stopped in her tracks when she heard, "EEEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" coming from behind her. "Well, it's a dirty job but that's what you get paid for. Hee-hee!" Julia then sees Wolf tapping his foot with rapacity as he is waiting for his three teammates to show up. "Hey Wolf! Are we good to go or what?" Julia waves her hand and smiles
"Whoa! Julia…..what the hell? It's like a total makeover for you. This army look makes you more sexy and demanding at the same time."
"Think so?" She twirls around for Wolf to see "Well, I am glad you like it. It's a way out of the ordinary for me." Julia starts to change subjects "So, where are the other two boys at huh?"
"They're coming…..They just wait until 5 minutes before I say departure time. That's all." He smiles at her for a little while then frowns "Hey Julia, what happened to you? You look like you've been fighting already."
"Yeah, I have. Monkey boy paid me a visit not too long ago. But don't worry." Julia caresses his face with her hand "I took care of him….Real good care."
"What….you actually killed him?" Wolf shot a brow of concern "WOW! I never thought sweet Julia had that potential in her. She always seems like the girl next door than wild and crazy. I am impressed Julia…"
"Well Wolf, this is where that cliché kicks in, 'You never judge a book by the cover. You read it THEN judge for yourself'.
"Well I'll be sure to remember that…." Wolf then looked at his right and saw Pigma and Leon come into his view "Oh look, the boys have arrived on time….."
"Mmmm Hmmm….yeah we should get ready to go now."
Wolf was the first to say something to them "Well fellas, you guys are on-time according to your watch but late on mine. Mine's is the one that counts for now."
"S-sorry Wolf……" They both gawked at the new and improved Julia Yarborough. The whole time
"I know boys….I know, you can't believe you eyes. Well yeah it's me alright. So are we ready for war or what?" Julia raised her hands from her side and placed her palms up
"Yeah come on guys let's move." Wolf signaled for everyone to go into the transport carrier
And everyone did just that……there was another fox soldier checking them in for Identification. "Wolf O' Donnell, Check. Leon Powalski, check. Pigma Dengar, check. Andre--."
"I look a little too cute for an "Andrew", don't I?" Julia stopped him in mid-sentence "Sorry to bust the bad bubble but, my name is Julia Yarborough and I'll be filling in for Mr. Oikonny. That alright with you?"
"S-sure ma'am. Please go right in."
"Thank you doll." Julia puts her hand on the young soldier's face and caresses it " That's good you're doing your job though. I LIKE a man who gets the job done right." Then she joins the rest of Star Wolf inside the carrier while the young fox simply blushed.
Wolf's Narrative
A few moments later, everyone sat in the conference room as the carrier took off. There were moments of anticipation, fear, anxiety and concentration encircling us.
I broke the tension by saying, "Hey Julia, maybe you should lay off the young cats….you might get a fatal attraction."
"Oh you saw me and that soldier huh? Well, I always liked to rock the cradle instead of the wheelchair."
"Hehehe….HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!" I bursted out…..I haven't had a good real laugh in a long time, especially right before battle time. Leon and Pigma joined me a little afterwards…..Then Julia laughed too. She nearly cried afterwards. "Hey, Julia….I'd thought you were married."
"Yeah, I thought so too….." Julia started "But, I hardly see my so-called husband, he really stresses me out. Hehehehehehehe…."
"Julia?" I started to notice her seriousness "What do you mean he stresses you out?"
She looked across the room then began, "Well, I hardly see the guy and his behaviors get stranger and stranger…..I mean, when he asked me 'What alliance would you choose if you were compelled to choose one?' I said none then he stops seeing me and the house…..he rarely appears anymore and when he does we always argue."
"Hmmmmm….this husband of yours…." Leon interrupted "do you suspect that he has already chosen a side?"
"No, don't know…..I hope not." Tears wielded up in her eyes "That's where all this anger comes from….and if he did take a side….it had better been with Venom. If he sided with Corneria….I'll KILL him…..that's a fact!" Julia broke down in tears right in front of everyone.
"Julia…."Leon went over to comfort her. "It's okay. I know he wouldn't side with those Cornerians…..They are too much of a hypocrite to join up with." He puts her arm around her shoulder. Pigma and I look on.
"Yeah….yeah….you're right." She touches Leon's hand that's on her shoulder "But…..he's the reason why I want to do this mission. I HATE him right now…..I could care less if own marriage goes down the drain. HA! Screw that pretentious bastard! The prick! Heh-Heh…." Julia's tears disintegrated and a smile crept on her face a creepy one at that
Just then a flight attendant alerted us with an incoming message…….She was a bobcat wearing a uniform with the colors of Venom. "Team Star Wolf, there's an urgent transmission for you on the video conference monitor would you like to view it?"
"Yes, thank you." I replied
"Yes, sir" She gave me a salute and activated the monitor on as we all gave our fullest attention
Krrrrrzzzzz…..this is Fox McCloud of Star Fox……and I am sending this message on behalf of Corneria. Star Wolf and any other Venomian alliances, please stand down. We have already received word that you were planning an attack. Your best bet is to STAND DOWN….I REPEAT STAND DOWN! This is for your own good. We will be patrolling this area and we will defend it at all costs. Plus we have the Cornerian army backing us up. So, if you value you lives you would all just go home and forget about this whole ordeal.
I wish I could forget about this like my sworn rival said…..but, I am not going to. No, I am going to do this and have Fox's head on a platter as a perk. Then I saw Julia get up and exit the conference room. She was talking to someone over the phone. Then she abruptly ended the conversation. Within 5 minutes, she came back and sat down to watch the final words of Fox.
We Cornerians will not tolerate any terrorist threat from you scums of the Lylat system and we WILL prevail. That is all/.
"Hmph….so that's what everyone else is…. 'scums of the Lylat system' eh? These Cornerians are so…..proud…..it's really irritating. Now I know I wanna kick some Cornerian ass right about now." Julia punched her hand and grinded them together.
"Yeah and since Star Fox is a guarantee to be there. I wanna pack some punches too! Especially that annoying bird, Falco." Leon said
"But they have the Cornerian army backing them up…..and for our side….it's just us." I rationed
"Correction, it's us and our army." Julia said
"Huh? That's who you were on the phone with?"
"Well…the General, and he's sending us with a fleet of 30,000. So, we don't have to take our Wolfens, we can all do some hand-to-hand combat well all except Pigma."
"Wow….you have connections like that?"
"Mmm Hmm! Yup! I like to think ahead of time. Now the General said that the fleet is 5 minutes behind us. So, we're covered in no time when it comes to the air. Now we need a plan……." Julia stopped to think about how to go on this raid as the carrier was now in Fortuna's (My home planet) orbit.
15 minutes later……
"I GOT IT!" Julia exclaimed "But, it requires a lot of stealth and a quick killer."
"Well, we know who the quick killer is." I said looking over at Leon examining the fiber wire we always held in his hand.
"Great! Okay here's the plan……Pigma you will aid the Venomian troops and aid us on the ground if we become ambushed for some odd reason."
"Okay!" Pigma shook his head
"Now, Leon you will have to be extremely stealthy and go for the kill when we lead you towards General Pepper. Wolf and I will be your distractions."
"Julia?" I asked "What exactly are WE going to do?"
"We are going to do what I hear Star Wolf does best. Kill and Kill sommore."
"Okay, I'm game." I said.
"So, Julia, I am to take out Pepper right then and there? But, can you do one last thing for me?"
"Yes, name it."
"Bring me Falco Lombardi, if he decides to show his hide. Do whatever it takes to get him to me but don't kill him. I will have that pleasure myself."
"Understood, Leon. Hey!" Julia said. There was a change in the feel of the flight which could only signal one thing…. We were in Corneria's orbit already. "I feel a drop in the altitude. I guess its Showtime!" Julia looked up at everyone else.
The Bobcat came back and informed everyone that we were en route to a badland in Corneria that was 10 feet away from Corneria City. There is where we would ready ourselves and march into the city. Pigma would charge up his Wolfen and patrol the skies for us. All we had to do was hold up for five minutes and our fleet would be here.
And so the carrier that was transporting us had made an abrupt stop on the badlands. We had all got off and got our weaponry from the same flight attendant. She saluted us and went back into the vessel. Pigma went into the carrier's own docking bay to retrieve his Wolfen and prepare to blast off.
Julia made sure all her weapons were in the right storages in her uniform and Leon did the same.
"Damn it!" Julia cursed "I forgot my most powerful weapon…..my rifle. I'll snatch one of a Cornerian then."
"You sure you can handle yourself?" I asked "I mean these Cornerians may be pompous and all but they can back up their talk."
"Yeah, I had special training in my spare time…..so don't you worry about me hon." Julia gave me a thumbs up then she put her hand down and looked serious then said to both Leon and me, "This time….it gets serious….and we have two options….Survive or Die trying. I don't know about you guys, but option number one sounds good to me."
"Option one sounds good to me too Julie." I nod my head
"Yeah! I'm with both of you on that one." Leon marched over to us
"We should head out now……we got a date with the General." I said.
"Yeah, let's do this!" Julia with her overzealousness
As the faint sounds of the Venomian fleet and Pigma's Wolfen graced our escort we rushed towards the gates of Cornerian City, weapons in hands ready for a Fight!
3rd Person POV
Julia, Leon and Wolf rushed into the city without a problem. As they waited for the on foot troops to march in Julia signaled for Leon to go for the City Hall. But before he left Julia gave him a hug and kissed him on his forehead to wish him good luck and hope he would return back in one piece. With that Leon bolted towards City Hall by himself and Wolf and Julia were left by themselves.
"You ready to do this?"
"Ready or not? Let's go….." I said.
Wolf and Julia's Perspective
Julia started off and ran behind a building to wait along side with the incoming soldiers. Wolf waited for two seconds and decided to follow her and wait at the other side of the building. The marching got closer and closer and closer…….then Julia eyed a particular soldier utilizing an ASR-190. The same rifle she had gotten from the itinerary.
Oooh! Julie likes…..Julie likes a lot .Hmmmm…..and what I like I get! Julia then gave an upwards chop to the gun which made the unsuspecting soldier lose his gun to Julia and got pumped in the chest with several rounds. She then backed up a couple of inches and started the rain of bullets which some hit some missed on her side which caused the entire marching platoon to turn to her side and ambush her. She saw all of this happening and made a run for it into the heart of the city.
Wolf ran behind the fleeting soldiers and he was able to catch up with one of them. Wolf eyed the automatic shotgun behind the person and snatched it off of his back without the slightest complication. The soldier then stopped in his pursuit of Julia and looked around in confusion. Wolf stood back, thinking that the soldier was too dumb to release that Wolf was behind him a few feet back. After a few seconds of squabbling the soldier realized that it was time to catch up with the others. Wolf saw the soldier running to catch up, he took his new weapon held it up, aimed…….fired.
BAM! A clean shot right to the head of the poor guy, blood sprayed everywhere and solid chunks of matter which was perceived to be his brain graced the ground as the lifeless form tumbled to the ground. As the shotgun shell sound echoed, a small group of 6 soldiers stopped to check what had just happened.
"Oh My God, STEVE!" One of the Cornerians yelled out loud "You…..you stupid dog……look at what you've DONE! Fucking jackass! Grrrr….." He looked directly into Wolf's eyes and then said "I am going to run your face into the ground if I don't shoot your head off first."
"Come on and try it……" Wolf said twirling the newly endowed shotgun in a forward motion then aiming the gun at the soldier who was challenging him.
The Cornerian charged straight at Wolf and unsheathed a knife and lunged it at him. Wolf, cautiously looked at him and successfully blocked the first swipe. Unfortunately he was slashed in the stomach the second time and near the neck the third time. "Aaaagh…." Wolf yelled out as the blood was vastly escaping his body. This won't happen the fourth time…….Wolf then saw that the soldier was doing, he was going to hit Wolf's leg/knee then kill him off when he was injured and immobile. The soldier made a downward stab at Wolf's leg but, Wolf moved his leg to the side and stomped on the knife with a great swiftness, lodging it into the ground. He proceeded to take it out of the ground but was struggling to get it.
At that moment, Wolf took one step closer and turned the shotgun vertically down. The man was unaware that Wolf was going to blow his vertebrae out of alignment.
"Lars…..NOOOO!" Another one of his comrades yelled in warning tone
"Huh?" The man responded to the name and attempted to rise up
"Too…..Late…." Wolf had pulled the trigger and a splatter of blood followed the sap's body as he hunched over the ground and fell. "Well that's two down…." He looked over to the remaining group "Five more to go….." He motioned for the others to come and fight him.
Each of them ran with all their fight spirit. They thought they could take Wolf on all at once only using knives since the "dog" wasn't even worthy to be shot with a Cornerian gun. The war cries could be heard from the gang as they finally got up to Wolf. Each one complimented the arrival with a swipe and a slash. Wolf skillfully dodged them all. After about 3 minutes of this worthless type of attacking they switched to a more systemized way of attacking by forming a circle around him and swiping at three at once intervals and two at once intervals.
When Wolf saw the pattern of attacks going on, he danced around the blades and he noticed another cohort pulling out a pistol fired. Wolf was not able to move out of the way quickly enough and the projectile ended up chipping his left shoulder and hit the soldier diagonally across from him. "Ack!" He grunted
"You need help with your aim?" Wolf turned to the man who just fired "Think of it as being a Good Samaritan." Wolf took the guy's weapon wielding arm, stood right behind him and pointed a gun of his own towards the soldier's head. Then he directed the guy's hand towards one of the others to his left and whispered one word, "Shoot."
The man hesitated. Then Wolf whispered, "Why are you stalling me? You know you are dead one way or another. Just shoot and I might let you live longer."
"Wh-Why are you doing this sir…..?" The guy questioned in a crying-like state "Isn't there another way?"
"Tch….hmmnnn…No." Wolf responded coldly and he took the liberation of starting the bullet-firing for him. He shot the group circle in order going counterclockwise each puncturing a bare chest or an unprotected forehead. Then when he got to the man who held the gun for him, he ran out of bullets as he pulled the trigger from that same gun. Damn! Then he attempted to lift his own gun in the process.
The soldier saw this and he knocked the gun out of his hand with lightning-fast speed when he took the chance. Wolf panicked to get the gun off the ground but was met by a hammering fist to his face. Wolf flat on the ground looked up at the soldier who was a step ahead of him by pointing a gun of his own towards Wolf's head still in tears. "You INSENSITIVE DOG! You Venomians have NO idea what it's like to lose your friends, your comrades. It's like losing your family even…..I'll….I'll make you pay for everything……EVERYTHING! Do you hear?" The soldier barked at Wolf. Then he lowered his gun at Wolf's level and pointed down aiming right between his eye and his eye patch. He cocked the gun…..aimed…..and
BAM!
A bullet pierced through a head as blood sprayed out of the hole and the body tumbled to the ground.
Wolf…..winced his good eye and looked in shock as he initially thought he was a goner for sure. He got up and looked around to see what just happened. Then he heard a voice shout out to him…..
"Hey Wolf! Hey I'm over here!"
Wolf looked around once more than the voice called him out once more: "Wolf look up!"
Wolf shielded his eyes and saw a shadow figure arming the rifle to confirm that there were no more enemies endangering Wolf. He tried to confirm who helped him out so he put his hand over his forehead to act as a visor and he couldn't believe his eyes.
On a ledge straight ahead of him Julia Yarborough stood unarming her rifle by putting it to her back "Hey Wolf! You wouldn't expect a girl like me to get out of a sticky situation just in the nick of time huh?" Julia waved at him for a second then smiled. "Let's rendezvous at the city hall with Leon okay? We'll let Pigma scrap up any pests that follow us land or sky!"
"Yeah! Hey Julie!" Wolf yelled back
"Yeah?"
"Thank you. I owe you my LIFE!"
"Thank me later!"
Whatever you say Julia…..after all you saved my life and you are like my Guardian Angel….Just meet me there, Julia, please meet me there. Make it to City Hall. "Yeah, Okay!" Wolf ran off to aid Leon in executing the General.
Julia saw to it that Wolf was going to make it towards City Hall……When she spent her time looking at Wolf she said to herself, "Whew…I'm glad I was able to finish that other guy off before Wolf had a plasma rod in his head. Although, those guys were nothing but a hassle and a headache altogether. Now, all I have to do is make my trip towards the City Hall and I am home free." She paces to get off the bridge when a man out of random comes and delivers a flying kick to Julia's back.
"Ugh…." She hits the bridge's foundation very roughly. She stumbles to get up after a while then this man comes around and stomps on her back to beat her down. "AAAH! OHH!" She squirms and tries to reach her back for embracement. "You fight like a certain someone I know back at Venom. I had to kill him to get him to…..understand that a fair fight…….. is the better thing to do rather than cheap shots the whole time. Don't let me…..give you the same lecture as well." She turns around and a fist implants her cheek. Her face turned to the side from the impact.
The man saw Julia trying to get up afterwards and started his speech, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Do you really think I am intimidated by you Julia? You think you're G.I. Jane, attitude and all, because you changed your threads. You are still the same person I met with a while back. Shallow and work-consuming……we never had a real INTIMATE connection, like other normal married couples do……that's why I would come and go Julia…..Come and go."
Her eyes widened as she heard that voice……No….NO! It couldn't be…… "Let me ask you something, before you continue on with your speech?"
"Sure go ahead" He seemed like a gentleman about this
"Is your name, Dwight?"
"It used to be."
Julia scowled at that response, "What do you mean used to be? Give me the answer straight!"
"Yes."
"Do you have any idea what you put me through……all these years of our so-called marriage? DO YOU?" Julia got up to meet the man face to face. Her enraged eyes met with a middle-aged fox with fur of reddish-orange shade and a muscular composition and height closely of Wolf's. He wore a Cornerian Military uniform caressed in merits and badges from previous years. That bastard…….
"I knew it was never meant to be as soon as I joined up here as an agent. If you wanted it to work you should've came after me wanting to be with me forever."
"No, see that's where you're wrong. If you want something to tail you around you get a pet or some groupies, not your wife. I thought we were neutral all the way! Not joining sides or anything. You're just a fucking nuisance Dwight."
"Well, Julie…..yeah I did lie. But as last looks go," He looks at her from head to toe "You look like you didn't keep up with your end of the bargain either."
"I was hired as a physics engineer….that's a whole different story. YOU came on your own free will….that's why I have a reason to be mad at you for."
"Yeah, well…..the way you're dressed it doesn't seem that you were hired for that purpose. I saw all that you did and may I say, I am most impressed with your skills. How is it that you were able to take a platoon of no more than 25 people?"
"You want me to pull out a demonstration on you?" Julia grabbed her rifle and aimed it at her husband
"HAH! I'd like to see you attempt to do that." Dwight said.
Julia rushed towards her former love with all her might with left and right hooks and jabs. Dwight smiled when he saw her passion. He evaded each and every one of those attacks with a light laughter. "Hah! Julia, you can try all you want……but without real combat training, you are as good as dead facing me. You would never land a hit on me."
Julia, ironically, did hit him in the face with a nasty right hook and what a drawback Dwight had….it caused him to stagger back a couple of inches and kneel on one knee. He spits out a little bit of blood then starts to talk, "My my Julia. What a lucky shot. But now, I am going to be a little rougher……Hope you can handle it." He proceeded to pull out an exotic hunting knife and lunge at her immediately
Julia took out her rifle and blocked every stab and thrust with the turn of her rifle. Dwight seeing how intelligent she was in the art of combat he thought of a cheap shot. He lifted her rifle with one hand and stabbed her directly in the stomach with his knife in the blink of an eye.
"Nnnn…" Julia managed to get out. She looked at her stomach which the knife was lodged in then she slowly rose to face Dwight once more. "Is…that…..Is that all you GOT?" Julia barked at him
"Well…..I'm surprised you aren't screaming in immense pain, seeing that you are a woman and you aren't the fighting type."
"Why don't you try and make me scream then…..?" Julia motioned for him
"Fine…..YOU ASKED FOR IT, TRAITOR!" He charged at her and was successful in rushing her to the medium of the bridge. As he still was in the crouching-like position. Julia took the knife out of her stomach, grunted to herself, and stabbed him in the back with it, literally.
"AAAAAAAHHH!" Dwight growled at the pain and tried locate the knife. He felt a numbing sensation overcome his legs and he fell down on his arse.
"You know when something disrupts the sixth and seventh vertebrae, paralysis is very common as a result. And….what do we have here….? A knife lodged in that exact same area…..I do apologize baby…..I really do." Julia viciously smiled at her exhausted flame
"But, Dwight there's something I want you to know before this whole ordeal is all over with……" Julia starts to cry again "You took the joy out of my life when we were more serious with ourselves…..I thought we would be a family, have kids, you know the whole deal. But when you left me…..all by myself…for all those years, you tormented me. Now, I have the upper hand and I don't want you to live anymore……." She stops the flow of tears and pulls out her standard blaster and aims for her husband's forehead.
"J-Julia, wait! You really don't want to….after all….we ARE still married and you are my wife. You don't want to shoot me….. I know you still have feelings for me."
"Correction, I do want to so bad….I REALLY do. I want to blow 10 fucking caps in your head really BAD. Your right though, I do have feelings for you…..feelings of sickness. You were the crummiest husband ever. And one last thing, we may be married still but, I am your wife no more….now I am your WIDOW!" She cocks the gun and proceeds to shoot.
"Ju-Julia…..WAIT!" Dwight screamed
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! Repeated shots echoed through the city as Julia wasted an entire clip on her husband's head. "Farewell, Dwight…." Julia tore off her collar and threw it on the heavily punctured corpse with blood coming out as a puddle "Have a great time in Hell because I'll see you there when the time comes."
Julia walked off the bridge and checked her arm band to locate everyone else. Good….everyone else is still alive and well. I better get going off if I am to catch up with the rest of the group on foot. Julia paced herself to catch up with Wolf and Leon. She looked up in the air as Pigma and the Venomian fleet was taking control of the skies. She smiled at how everything was going for Venom. Within a few minutes she's already arrived at City Hall.
The Cornerian City Hall 3rd person POV
She opened up the doors of City Hall and was taken by surprise by how many bodies were strewn everywhere. "Leon did all THIS?" As she walked further down the hallway, blood graffitied the carpet and walls. Julia thought differently of Leon as more of a superior than a mere comrade.
Just seconds past, screams were heard into the main double doors of the building. "Oh! I hope that wasn't any of our allies…." She ran in the direction of the screams as fast as she could and she kicked the door as hard as she could only to find out that Leon had General Pepper tied to the chair with a gag in his mouth as he held a hook-like probe dripping with blood. Both Leon and Wolf looked over at Julia; Wolf being precautious took out a blaster and aimed quickly, but then lowered it.
"Hey guys, it's only me….." Julia smiled, but then winced in pain from the laceration made earlier.
"Julia! Are you okay? Who did this to you?" Wolf ran over to her and looked at her injuries
"I'm fine Wolf. Don't worry, that person is dead now. So, how's Pepper?"
"Miserable…." Leon looked at her as well.
"That's terrific, just terrific." Julia smiled.
Wolf sat down first and patted the seat next to him, "Here take a seat……we have to wait for the carrier to bring us back. We already sent out a Communicator call for our carrier so just relax and as soon as we get the carrier we are home free."
"Did Star Fox ever show their hides?"
"No….Pigma and the Venomian fleet took control when I finished business with some other soldiers."
"That's good. Say Julia….would you like to do the honors?" Leon held a gun out for her handle first.
Julia looked at the mortified General Pepper and said….. "With pleasure….." ,as she took the gun and cocked it.
Wolf and Leon looked onward as Julia aimed the gun right between the old dog's eyes…….
It seemed all was going well for Star Wolf and Venom forces, and in a flash it was all over……
