Parasite Awaiting

Chapter 1 – First Signs
Months have passed since Aparoids attacked the Cornerian Military Force. Star Fox, along with Star Wolf and the people at the Orbital Gate, was able to stop the Queen. The threat to the system was no more… at least for the time being…
"If our resources are true, then that means this system is doomed unless we stop it."
Wulf McWolf, a light-blue furred lupine with slight shades of grey wearing a thick space suit and a helmet, gave a comment to his communicator as he slowly inspected the ground he was stepping on. "Bark, can you give me the status of this abandoned science facility?"
Hmm… scanning… scanning… There! According to the data, Rutherford Institute was functioning even during the time of the Aparoids attack in Lylat System. It was only disabled recently… Hmm… with this information, I'm positive that we're correct. Now we have to work even harder… Be careful Wulf!
"I will…"
The wolf opened up a beaten door. His light source was thankfully working, allowing him to see the place. It was so dark, and the lights of the facility were out. He let his torch lit the right wall and a sign took his attention.
"Laboratory, huh? This must be it…"
Be careful, Wulf. I have a bad feeling about that place.
"I know… I already felt that since the time I first stepped in this place…"
He slowly walked the place, keeping a slow pace to avoid anything. He knew there was something in the abandoned facility that was out of the ordinary… and there it was!
"Bingo, Bark! Here it is!"
Yes, organic readings are present. Be careful…
Wulf grabbed a small cylinder-like device from a holster on his belt. He pushed a button, and it released a light blue beam, halting after having a good length. It was like a blade of a katana… his weapon resembled a futuristic katana, whose blade is made of laser.
"I'll get you…"
He fired a flare from his torch, and it made everything visible… and he was astounded from what he just saw. A large capsule filled with dark-violet matter surprised him.
"I've found it. Okay Bark, how do I shut this thing down?"
Look for the stabilizer control panel around the place. It should have one. It maintains the life of the matter. You need to disable it.
"Roger that… Wait…"
Something took Wulf's eyes. When he glanced at the side of the capsule, violet liquid was dripping. The floor also has a puddle of the liquid. The lupine missed a heartbeat.
"This looks like trouble, Bark…"
Suddenly, somebody grabbed him from behind. It was an ambush! Wulf dropped his weapon to the floor, so he has to resort to fists. However, his struggle was useless. He glanced at his back, seeing his attacker a mindless scientist with violet eyes… creepy eyes.
"Damn it! Let go!"
Wulf? Wulf! Is everything okay there?
He could not answer. Communication was cut off. Another scientist came and crushed the covering of his helmet, and his hand grabbed the muzzle of the wolf. Violet liquid poured from his hands, and it traveled to the lupine's nose and mouth.
Oh no… This is bad… Garou, Lupina, Eagle, Wulf's in danger… Wulf… in… danger… Wulf…
The signal was cut off. All was a sign of failure to the mission.
Wulf knelt down and coughed. He has never experienced anything in his life resembling this. Was his body… being invaded by the parasites? Impossible, for his cells have been fused with the living metal called Anatyde… rendering him useless from any sort of disease or parasitic invasion… unless… no… Nothing can surpass Anatyde… If there ever was… then that means…
"Take that, Fox!"
Wolf shouted furiously on his HUD as he chased the vulpine at the great canyons of Fortuna. "You can't get away from me, Fox!" He quickly fired a volley of shots, but it missed, just as he expected. "Hmph! I wouldn't expect less from you!"
"Hey Wolf, I'll keep your words of wisdom!" Fox replied from his HUD to the lupine. "When the time comes, don't hesitate. Just act! You know, it really saved me bunch times. But enough talk! Take this!" He let loose with a barrage of laser shots.
The Wolfen did a barrel roll, deflecting the beams. It was such an intense fight… until…
KABOOM!
A large powerful beam was suddenly shot from up above. Fox evaded it, but unluckily, the right wing of Wolf's Wolfen got hit, and it sent him crashing. Krystal was hit too, causing Panther to panic.
"I knew it was a bad idea to spar off in the open field!" Slippy, who was watching the fight inside the Landmaster, whined from the scene. "You're lucky you guys called me as a score keeper, otherwise no one will be able to pick you up!" He immediately rushed to the crash sites of Krystal and Wolf, and quickly inspected them.
Wolf's right arm received injury, and his forehead and mouth was bleeding, not to mention his left leg being crushed by the wing. Krystal met the same fate, only her body was being crushed by the console of the Arwing.
Panther quickly rushed towards Krystal, while Leon helped Slippy get Wolf to the Landmaster. Fox also helped Panther. Falco was the one who was doing nothing.
"I like to help, but there's nothing for me to do, since you guys already occupied them!" he commented as he shrugged. However, he glanced at the sky, wondering what happened. "I sure do want to know what caused the attack earlier…"
