Sorry for the delay, but I've had a nasty case of writer's block. I'm over it now, so I'm here with the goods. :) Of course, I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed:

Adriana Dimitriov- Thanks for the reviews. I'll take care of your gripes in the Side Notes.

Silver Meta Dragon- Sorry if I screwed up your plans, dude.

doom- No, I haven't played any of the Doom games.

Sol-Ratcht Saporro- Thank you very much. Are you a Katt hater?

Fox JD- Thanks for putting me on your Favorites list. Just so you know the fight will be held in Earth's solar system.

Hand of Blades- Oh, some ass is gonna get kicked, all right…

Black Swordsman342- Thanks for the overview.

unknown- Earth is already teamed up with Venom.

Shayne- Thanks dude. I really appreciate that.

chitoryu12- If you think it won't scare you, go check it out for yourself. You think this is a potential winner, huh? Thanks.

Aphotica- Thanks for the suggestion. :) And yes, Falco is one angry bird.

Tobias- Continuing!

Ben Stylin- I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Side Notes: For all of you wondering where Peppy is, he retired. To all you Peppy fans I'm terribly, terribly sorry. However, Slippy programmed ROB to provide tactical aid in a fight, so he's pretty much filling in for Peppy. ROB fans rejoice!

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Fox. But it would be so awesome if I did.

The Battle Begins

The Great Fox came out of slipspace in Earth's solar system, a good distance from the Venomian warships. The team was already in their Arwings, ready to launch. "All wings report." said Fox.

"Slippy here. All systems go."

"Falco here. I'm fine."

"Krystal here. I'm ready."

"Katt here. Ready to rock."

"Okay, launch!" yelled Fox. The five fighters shot out of the Great Fox's hangar and sped towards the Venomian fleet. Unfortunately, they noticed them and sent out a squadron of starfighters to intercept them.

"Here comes the welcome wagon." said Falco.

"Alright, you guys know what to do." said Fox.

The team flew head on into the swarm, their Arwings' cannons blazing. They tore through the enemy fighters with ease. In about three minutes flat, there were none left. Falco yawned. "Too easy." "Don't get complacent, Falco." warned Fox. "Alright, alright. Geez…"

The team flew towards the enemy warships and began their assault, tearing three of them apart in no time flat. "Damn, these guys are real pushovers." remarked Katt as she brought down a fourth ship. Soon they were attacked by another swarm of enemy fighters. "Persistent, aren't they?" sighed Krystal. They proceeded to destroy the incoming fighters, but, as always, three of them started chasing Slippy. And, of course, Slippy panicked.

"Dammit! Not again!" he yelled, trying desperately to evade his pursuers. Fox sighed and blasted the fighters behind Slippy. "Thanks, Fox!" "No problem, Slip - up." Fox was used to this by now. It was practically his job to get keep Slippy out of trouble.

After a heated ten minutes, they had wiped out a good deal of the Venomian warships, causing the survivors to scatter. "How much easier can this get?" Falco asked no one in particular. "Falco, you're doing it again…" said Fox. Falco sighed. "Sorry."

The team flew towards the Cornerian fleet, which looked as though it had taken a serious beating. A male voice came over the Arwings' Comms as they approached. "Good to see you guys. We were wondering when Pepper was going to send you."

"How are you guys holding up, Commander?" asked Fox.

"Fine, now. Thanks for taking care of those Venomians. But we have another problem. See that line of smaller ships just ahead of us?" They looked out and saw a group of about twenty silver-grey ships. They were triangle-like in shape, and had guns mounted on the wings and in the front. They had two thrusters each, on top of which were two large fins. Basically they looked like B-2 bombers on steroids.

"They may not look like much, but they've been giving us no end of trouble." continued the Commander.

"What are they, exactly?" asked Slippy. "B-class light gunships codenamed 'Arrowheads'. Those wing-mounted guns have a killer range, and they're powerful to boot. Think you can take 'em?"

"Hell yeah!" was Falco's immediate response.

Fox sighed. "There he goes again…" Then Krystal said, "You know Falco, I'm surprised that you get your Arwing to take off with that gigantic head of yours weighing it down." Everyone laughed loudly at this. Everyone except Falco. "Can we just go already?" he asked, his annoyance evident.

They flew towards the Arrowheads, and as they approached, a voice rang out over the Comms. "Attention Cornerian fighter pilots. You are entering our airspace. Stand down or we will open fire."

"Bite me!" yelled Falco before firing a nova bomb. The bomb hit one of the Arrowheads, incinerating it instantly. Before the other ships could react, the rest of the Star Fox team each fired a nova bomb, taking out four more gunships. "These guys are pathetic!" said Slippy. "You sound just like Falco." said Katt. "Will everyone please get off my back already!" Falco yelled.

In no time flat, the remaining gunships were wiped out. They sped towards the rest of the humans' fleet, where several reddish-brown capital ships could be seen mingling with the silver-grey. "Damn. Looks like the surviving Venomians still want to fight." said Fox. "If they want to die, let's grant their wish." said Falco. The rest of the team, though shocked that Falco had actually said something that wasn't egotistical, flew to meet the enemy.

The battle became more intense with each passing minute. The humans had a small fleet, but the ships were well-shielded and well-armed. The Great Fox eventually came in to provide cover fire. After a while though, the enemy fleet seemed to weaken. Seeing this, the Cornerian fleet came in and began their assault. It looked as though the war would finally end…until something very unfortunate happened.

Cliffhanger! Sorry guys. Had to do it. Just a few notes: first off, all you Tales of Symphonia fans should check out my latest fic, "The Chronicles of a Red-Haired Madman." According to my reviewers, it's good. :) Second, I'm going on vacation, and won't be able to update for about a week. So sorry. Really. But I'll be back with new chapters for this and my other fics. Maybe even a new fic altogether. And of course, review please.
