The Call
The Great Fox drifted lazily through space. It had been about a year since the Aparoid War had ended, and a lot had happened since then. For one, they had gotten a new ship to act as the Great Fox. (Incidentally, it looked identical to the old one.) Falco's old girlfriend Katt Monroe showed up out of nowhere and asked to join the team. (She said so she could help them in case something as bad as the Aparoids showed up, but the rest of the team thought she just missed Falco.) And also Fox and Krystal got married about a month after they destroyed the Aparoid homeworld. They took Tricky's advice and honeymooned on Sauria. But all this was nothing compared to what was yet to come.
The team was returning to Corneria after a day of routine patrolling and the team was bored as hell. They sat idly on the bridge as the ship drifted towards the planet. Falco was asleep in chair, snoring loudly. After several hours of this, Slippy couldn't stand it anymore, and hurled an empty soda can at him, nailing the avian square in the side of the head. He woke up abruptly and fell out of his seat, causing the rest of the team to laugh loudly. "Well that was easily the most exciting thing that's happened all day." said Krystal still giggling at Falco, who got up the floor and glared at Slippy.
"You know, Slippy, you can be a real ass sometimes." Slippy continued to laugh and said in a mock-sympathetic voice "Aw, sorry Falco. Did I hurt you?" The others laughed at this statement, but were cut short when ROB said "Incoming transmission from General Pepper." Everybody's attention immediately turned to the automaton. "Patch him through, ROB." said Fox. "'Bout time we got a new assignment." said Falco. "Yeah," agreed Katt "I haven't seen any action since I joined."
A holographic image of the General's head appeared. "Greetings, team. I have a new mission for you…" "Hallelujah!" exclaimed Falco, raising his arms in celebration. Pepper looked at Falco for a moment and said "As I was saying," he looked at Falco again. "I have a new mission for you. I'm assuming you're all familiar with the war currently being waged between Corneria and the planet Earth, correct?" Everybody nodded. "What I don't get is why you haven't already sent us out to help the Cornerians." said Slippy. "That war's been going on for four years. If we were there, we could've ended it in four weeks!" "I know, Slippy," replied the General "but the humans have a relatively small military. Our fleets have kept the war in our favor. But now it seems that it would be a good time for you to go help our troops." "I'm lost." said Falco. "Remember when you fought Oikonny and his fleet during the Aparoid War?" "Yeah," said Fox "but what do they have to do with anything?" "Much. You see, we have recently discovered evidence that the Venomians have been aiding the humans secretly. Supplying them with weapons and that sort of thing. Around the time the Aparoid War started, the humans were weakening significantly. Oikonny noticed this, and sent some of his fleet to Earth, and at the same time launched his "rebellion", which was actually meant to distract us. It worked. We received a transmission from one of the commanders saying that a group of Venomian warships appeared suddenly out of slipspace and attacked them from behind."
"Slimy bastards…" muttered Falco angrily. "I suppose we shouldn't expect any less from them." said Katt. "Yes, a cowardly move indeed." agreed the General. "Because of that, the enemy have our forces caught in a pincer attack. The humans attacking from the front, the Venomians attacking from the rear. We'd need you five to focus your attack on the Venomians first. Just cause enough damage to make them scatter. Or wipe them out them completely. Whichever works for you." "I vote for the second option." said Falco, raising his hand. "How much does this pay, anyway General?" asked Fox. "If you're successful, then you will receive 500,000 credits." "I'm havin' a heart attack over here…" said Falco, clutching his chest. "Falco," said Krystal "would you do us all a favor and shut up?" "Yes, please." said Slippy rubbing his temples. (Or whatever a toad has.) Fox turned his attention back to the General. "When do you want us to leave?" "As soon as possible." Fox nodded. "Gotcha. We'll leave now." "Good luck, team." said General before the hologram disappeared. "ROB, set coordinates and prepare for the jump into slipspace." "Affirmative." "Finally," said Katt "my first mission with the team." "Jump to slipspace commencing in approximately ten seconds." said ROB. The team tensed in their seats as the countdown commenced. …three…two…one…
After the one flashed on the screen, the ship's warp engines powered up and launched the ship into slipspace, and the Star Fox team disappeared among the stars.
So, what do you guys think? I'm open to any suggestions you guys have, so if you have any ideas you think would go well with the story, please let me know. And of course, please review.
