Review Response

Great Fox/Silver meta Dragon: Thanks for the review and name suggestions I will use one of them for the human. I was wondering why you dropped off the map, glad to have you back.

m: thanks.

Black Phoenix: thanks for the review, I like the name, but I found another that I think fits better. I will however create a character for the name latter on. And if what happened to Wolf creeped you out then you might not like what I have planed for him in future chapters.

Hunter Killer: thanks for the review; I will try to work harder on the future fight scenes.

And now to in to the unknown.

"…Zavis," he replied as he began to walk out of the alley.

"Zavis, thanks," Katt then glanced at the dog that had stopped vomiting blood and was now twitching violently on the ground, "what was in that spike of yours anyway"?

"Dythicid gas," Zavis said turning around to face her.

"Dythicid! Are you crazy, that stuff dangerous, he'll be luck to survive this," Katt hollered heading to the fallen dog's side.

"It was a small douse he'll be find, and besides he attacked you he got what he deserved."

You're learning human.

Shut it.

"So what if he attacked me, he doesn't deserve this kind of pain," Katt said as she motioned to the dog who's body was beginning to bend in on itself.

"You want me to help him," Zavis asked as he moved to Katt's side.

"Can you do that," Katt asked looking at Zavis, "I though you had to wait for it to leave your system."

"You do but I can aide the process a little. Don't freak out at what's about to happen ok,"

Katt looked at Zavis will a puzzled look before nodding her head. Zavis seeing that she had agreed placed his hands on the dog's convulsing body and forcing him to hold still. A soft glow began to flicker around the dog's body as he gave a weak whimper as the light moved from him to Zavis and the dog's convulsions ceased. Zavis shuttered a little as he felt the poison enter his system before storing it back in the spike.

Katt watched in wonder at the sight as the light flicked and died around Zavis. "How did you do that"!

"My secret, he should be fine now," Zavis said as the dog fell into a deep sleep. "So my little cat what's you name"?

"You already guessed it hon," Katt said with a smile.

"What your name is so," Zavis asked in a fake puzzled voice. Katt simple pulled back and nailed Zavis square in the chest which caused him to release a small grunt. "What was that for, Katt."

"So you did know my name, eh monkey," Katt shot at Zavis.

"Yea, but did you have to hit me," Zavis asked in a hurt voice.

"You deserved it," Katt replied as she checked the sky and said, "it's late and I need to get home, thanks again for saving me," and with that she left the alley. As Zavis watched her leave Jr. decided to speak up.

What was that about human, we never should have helped that useless bag of fur.

Shut up. And besides we now know what this body can do.

You didn't push us to the limit, your reaction time was off by at least .002 seconds, and you were injured.

It's a scratch, and besides she might be useful in getting off planet.

You like her don't you.

What?

You like that fur, admit it.

No, I just think we can use her.

For more than getting off planet?

No, look lets get to Ajax before you blow one of our blood vessels.

With the argument over Zavis began to make his way to Ajax's club.

Katt rounded the corner out of the alley and began to head toward her house. What was he, she thought. He can't be a normal fur, he moves to fast for that and he did that thing with the light. I wonder what kind of fur he really is. He seems like a monkey or ape, but I've never seen one with that kind of fur pattern. Maybe Falco might know what he is. With that though in mind she decided to head off to the StarFox hanger.

Meanwhile at the StarFox hanger the team was planning out what to do about the human. After much discussion Fox decided what would be their course of action.

"Ok team here is what we're going to do; Slippy, Peppy, and Krystal will take the Great Fox into orbit and keep an eye out for any ships leaving the system without authorization, Falco and I will search the city for the human, any questions. Good." As Fox headed to his room he heard foots steps behind him and he knew what was coming. Reaching his room he made his way to the bed as Krystal shut the door.

"What do you mean putting me in space with those two Fox," Krystal demanded as she glared at Fox. "You know I can be more useful on the ground, with my telepathy I might be able to feel the human/aparoid."

"I figure that me and Falco would be enough on the ground for now," Fox said quietly.

"You're full of it McCloud, you're worried I might get hurt." Krystal shouted.

"Of course I'm worried Krystal, what do you expect! You're my wife and you're carrying my kits." Fox shouted back.

"Fox the day I can't take care of myself and my kits will be the day Slippy becomes a better pilot than Falco."

"Krystal," Fox began, "I'm sorry but what would you do if you knew you could be sending me into a dangerous situation. I love you Krystal and I don't want anything to happen to you." While saying this Fox moved closer to Krystal and gave her a crushing hug.

"Fox," Krystal began as she returned his hug, "If I knew I was sending you into danger then I would be right beside you to help you through it."

"Thanks I needed to hear that…" Fox began when Krystal interrupted him, "So I'll be joining the ground team than."

"Yea—I mean, well, how do you do that"?

"I have my ways, so should we tell the others"?

"Sure lets go," Fox said walking towards the door. When he reached the door he turned to look at Krystal, "you owe me, you know that right."

"Of course my little fox," Krystal laughed.

"Who you calling little" Fox asked in a reproachful voice.

"Go talk to the others already," Krystal hollered playfully.

At a salvage yard in the city, Wolf groaned in pain as he regains consciousness and began to check himself for injuries. Feeling around his neck where Pepper had jabbed the needle in him he fells a small patch of metal covering the wound. What ever that damn mutt did to me I'm going to make him pay. Standing up Wolf began to head out of the salvage yard when he felt a strange drawing. What the hell he thought as his body moved toward one of the many wrecked hover cars around him. His body reached out and placed his hands on the cool chipped surface of the craft. What's going on here Wolf wondered as a soft blue light began to glow around the surface of the car. Wolf watched in half horror half amazement as the light began to creep slowly over his skin. Wolf's stomach began to churn as he felt the light enter him and he felt his body changing. Wolf swore he could feel the metal of the hover car covering his skin and muscles in a light layer of armor. The blue light began to spread around the scrap metal in the yard and Wolf could only watch as more and more of the light entered him. After a moment of absorbing the light Wolf's stomach went into open rebellion as he emptied his insides with several violent heaves. Wolf soon began to lose what little strength he had recovered since regaining consciousness. He collapsed as the light continued to flow into him and he felt his bones begin to liquefy and re-harden with metal supports. The light soon encompassed the whole of the scrap including several rejected star fighter components. Wolf began to fade from consciousness when the last trails of light flowed into him. Groggily Wolf stumbled to his feet and looked at his new body. He still looked the same he thought except for a small metallic gleam to his fur. What the hell was that he thought as he began to leave the now empty junkyard. When he took his first step he felt different. The step felt lazy. He took another step and he felt the same sensation. His movements were effortless and they seemed to flow from one to the next. What did that light do to me he thought. Just to test the new sensations in his body Wolf made what he thought was a small jump, but when he tensed his legs he felt as if he were winding a rubber band tight. When he released the tension he about lost his stomach as he flew through the air. What the Wolf thought but he had to concentrate on the building he was flying at. I'm screwed he thought as the smooth surface of the building rushed up to meet him. As he slammed into the wall with enough force to crush a normal body Wolf realized that he barely felt a thing. As he began to slide down the side of the building Wolf extended his claws and tried to grip the side of the building. Pain shot through his paws as the sudden resistance against his claws. Amazingly he got a solid grip. Glancing at his claws he saw that they were gleaming with the same metallic shine his fur was. Realizing that he needed to do something Wolf began to climb the side of the building. Fearing that he wouldn't make it to the top Wolf scrambled as fast as he could up the side before realizing that he wasn't getting tired. Reaching the top of the building he settled down and wondered how he had survived what just happened. Whatever Pepper did to me I'm not sure to kill him of thank him for this Wolf thought now all I need is a weapon of some sort. As he finished his thought he felt the back of his right paw begin to tingle. Holding it close to his muzzle he nearly fell of the building when a two-foot long blade shot out of his paw. Examining the gleaming gray metal Wolf smiled to himself. This could come in handy at some point. Suddenly a voice filled his head.

Wolf.

"What," Wolf looked around for the owner of the voice and seeing no one he yelled out loud, "Who, or what are you"?

I am your master and you are mine now Wolf and I have a job for you.

"I'm no one dog,"

Not anymore now your mine.

"And what if I don't do what you say." Wolf wondered out loud.

Then I do this.

Crippling pain shot through Wolf's whole body as he sank to his knees. As soon as the pain began it was gone.

Now are you going to be a good little dog now?

"Yes," Wolf agreed reluctantly.

Good you should feel a presence at the edge of your mind now do you feel it?

"Yes," Wolf replied as he felt a small tug at he edge of his brain.

Good now go and capture that presence.

"Fine," Wolf said as he leaped off the building toward the small tug. What am I going after anyway."

The human who shot you on the roof.

"Now I'm not so against following order," Wolf said as he smiled landing on a nearby building, "I have unfinished business with that human."

Good now things are going according to plan the voice laughed as Wolf leapt from building to building toward the human's location.

Back at the Cornerian military base Pepper sat at his desk with his eyes closed in deep thought. Then he looked up and smiled, "Now it's only a matter of time." Soon his laughter could be heard all over the base.

Bill Grey sat in his office as he looked over many reports on his husky fleet. He thought back to the simpler times when he only had to worry about a few dozen pilots, now since the aparoid invasion he had been placed in charge of one of Katina's many attack fleets. Sighing he stood and moved to pour himself a cup of coffee when his vidphone rang. Answering the device he was surprised to see one of the new ship captains on the line. Tristan a husky whom Bill had meet during the aparoid invasion seem quite frantic.

"Bill have you received the order yet," Tristan asked in a near breathless voice.

"What order are you talking about," Bill asked.

"The brass has ordered my ships to move to Sector Y and wait for further orders."

"Why would Fortuna want ships in Sector Y," Bill asked in a puzzled tone.

"I don't know but it has something to do with Corneria and I've been informed that your Husky Fleet would be joining us soon." Tristan finished as a knock came at Bill's door.

"I think I'm about to receive the orders Tristan, any idea why though," Bill asked as he transferred the call to his earphone.

"No idea but it looks like war, and I'm worried for my family on Corneria."

"Know what you mean, Fox is on Corneria right now. Let me get back to you ok."

"Don't, we need to talk to face to face about this," Tristan said a little more composed then in the beginning of the conversation.

"Fine talk to you then," Bill said as he dismissed the young soldier who had handed him his orders. Quickly reading them he saw what Tristan had said was true. What's going on he thought as he started to contact the various captains under his command.

Author's notes: I thought the last chapter was murder. So sorry for the wait but I put off two project to write this story and I need to finish them. Got an A on both though. Anyway, I was disappointed about Katt and Bill not being in the last game so I gave Bill a fleet and Katt, I, well, um, not sure what I'm going to do for her yet. Also the Krystal/Fox scene was an evil I will not soon forget. I figured I need some kind of niceness moment but I didn't want it to be too sappy. Also I have been working on my fight scenes in other stories for school and I think they have improved so in the next chapter or two a major fight will occur. Side note Black Phoenix thanks again for the name if you want me to add, alter, or do anything with Tristan put it in your review or send me an email. Also if anyone has any ideas or characters they would like for me to incorporate into the story send me an email and I will try to work the character or idea into this story or another (if I write one). Wow didn't mean to write an essay here, and a guess it's a lot for a new author to ask of his reviewers. So forgive me if I ask to much or have offended you and review and give me your input.
