Zavis waited as the computer ran through the simulations. Zavis sighed as he leaned back into the chair as he began to dose off. As he felt sleep begin to take him the computer gave a loud beep. Zavis jumped and frowned at the screen as the results scrolled down. The more he read the more he frowned.
"This is insane. No mater what we try the aparoids always win…wait go back," Zavis said as the data continued to scroll. "That could work. That could work"! Zavis jumped out of the chair and turned to wake the others as a scream ripped through the ship and pain exploded in his chest.
Katt jerked awake as an ear splitting scream shattered the silence. "What the hell," she muttered under her breath as she made her way towards the door followed by Fox and Falco. As she rounded the corner to the bridge she stifled a scream of horror at the sight. Zavis stood with and aparoid clinging o his chest and a two foot long spike skewered through his body. Katt started to run to Zavis as Falco grabbed her by the arm and held her back.
"He needs our help," she screamed at Falco as she tried to get away.
"Let Fox handle it," Falco muttered.
Katt looked over at Fox as he raised a blaster to take aim at the aparoid, but before he could get a shot off a blade had sprouted from Zavis left arm and impaled the aparoid.
"Don't feel so good does it," Zavis yelled as he retched the blade sideways cleaving the aparoid in two. Zavis sank down to his knees and gritted his teeth as he pulled the spike from chest as waves of crimson flowed from the wound. Time to heal he though as a light enveloped the wound. As the wound closed Zavis felt his stomach knot in on itself as waves of nausea rolled over him.
What the hell is going on?
A poison of some sort human is my guess.
"Neurotoxin judging by our bodies reaction."
Well what the hell do we do about it? Zavis screamed in his own mind as darkness washed over all three of them.
Katt watched as Zavis wrapped himself in a bright light as his whole body convulsed. She ran to his side as he slumped to the deck unconscious.
"Zavis," she said softly as she reached a paw toward him, "Zavis come on this isn't funny," she said as she touched his neck and felt a weak pulse. "Wake up you miserably excuse for a human," she yelled as she gave him a light punch to the arm. Zavis barely even twitched at the touch. "Falco help me move him to a bed," Katt shouted over her shoulder.
"Gee Katt we're all right her no need to shout," Falco said jokingly although his face was grim.
The ship's computer gave a small chime that made every one jump as the ship exited slip space.
Fox jumped into the command seat and made a system wide hale.
"This is Fox McCloud is anyone out there, Peppy come on answer me."
"Fox," a voice said quietly over the signal, "Peppy here you won't believe what we found."
"What is it Peppy…" Fox began.
"Fox McCloud you are to report to my ship and debrief me on the situation on Corneria," a grizzled old voice squawked over the signal.
"And why should I do that, I don't even know who you are."
"I am Grand Admiral Crowe of the Lylatian Coalition."
Katt and Falco laid Zavis on the bed next to Krystal and tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
"Katt I am heading to the bridge to see if I can help Fox ok."
"Ok," Katt muttered. As she heard Falco leave Zavis began shivering and thrashing about on the bed. Katt watched as sweat poured out of him as his face twisted into mask of horror and pain. What the hell did that thing do to you Katt wondered as she tried to hold Zavis down on the bed. After several minutes of struggle Katt gave up, nothing she could do seemed to be helping. As she sunk to her knees in defeat she felt a paw be placed on her shoulder. As she jerked her head around she saw Falco beside her.
"Come on this Crowe fellow wants us on his ship, he sent a shuttle," Falco mumbled quietly.
"What about Zavis and Krystal," said with concern.
"Fox hasn't told Crowe about them and I don't think he plans too."
"But why."
"Think about it Katt if Crowe knew he had the human that started this mess and a fur with an aparoid inside on his hands do you think he would trust anything we had to say.
Katt thought for a moment before she gave a nod and followed Falco to the small shuttle bay.
Zavis continued to thrash on the bed as the two left.
"Arise my son."
Jr. flinched as the voice boomed over him. He struggled to stand as the voice said again.
"Arise my son."
"Who are you," Jr. said as he searched his mind for Zavis and Wolf. A moment of panic overtook him, as he could find neither.
"They are gone my child, wiped away from your mind."
"Who are you," Jr. asked again. This time the voice shook the room.
"DO YOU NOT REMEMBER YOUR QUEEN? YOU FAIL TO PROTECT ME AND YOU HAVE FORGOTEN ME ALREADY."
Jr. quivered with fear as he spoke, "My queen you must forgive me I did everything I could to save you, everything."
"It does not matter what you did or didn't do, I have been reborn and the swarm has come again."
"My queen I ask to serve you once again overlook my weakness I beg of you."
"You had your chance, for failing me I shall take away that which you cherish the most and sever you from the swarm."
"My queen I beg you please anything but that, end my life if you will but that punishment is too much to bear," Jr. squeaked.
"My judgment is cast."
Jr. finally stood up and glanced around the area to look for his queen but as he look his vision began to fade. "No," he muttered as more and more darkness clouded his vision. "No please no," he choked out as he began to cry, and then scream.
"Wake up Wolf, I said wake up"!
Wolf groaned in pain as a boot embedded itself into his side and his breath exploded out of his chest. As he staggered to his feet he saw Fox standing over him smiling.
"Come on little wolf, I though you wanted to kill me," Fox taunted as he tossed a punch toward Wolf's face. Wolf side stepped the blow and delivered one of his own into Fox's stomach. Fox doubled over in pain before lashing out with his foot and scored a hit against Wolf's knee. Wolf ignored the pain and launched himself at Fox. As the two rolled around on the ground and tried to squeeze the life out of one another Wolf felt Fox's strength begin to wane. He released Fox for a moment before he latched on to his throat. "Finally McCloud its over, you hear me over," Wolf screamed as he crushed Fox's windpipe. Fox kicked and clawed at Wolf but to now avail. Wolf smiled as he felt Fox go limp, he held his throat for another minute before he finally released him. It's over he though I finally have my revenge. Wolf began to laugh over Fox's body as tears of joy streamed down his face. "It over," he cried out. Suddenly a flash of pain rolled up his left arm. As he spun around there was Fox holding a knife in each hand.
"Come on Wolf I ain't got all day," Fox said with a smile.
Wolf stared at Fox for a moment in disbelief, he wiped his head to the side at were he had killed Fox but found no body. "Damn you," he screamed as he ran toward Fox.
Zavis continued to thrash about on the bed as Krystal's eyes shot open and black light poured out of them.
Jr. clawed around on the ground as he stumbled time and time again. His face was covered in bloody trenches where he had clawed at his eyes trying to make them see. As he stumbled once again a bright light flashed in front of him but he continued on oblivious to it. As he stumbled toward the light his hand brushed against fur, he recoiled for a moment before he tried to head of in a different direction.
"Wait," a voice muttered as he felt an arm grab him. He tried to get away but the arm held him fast.
"Leave alone," he moaned.
"I can help you if you let me," the voice said softly.
"No this is a punishment from my queen and I shall," a small sob leaked out of him, "bear it."
"Your queen is dead she cannot hold you to this pain."
"NO," he scream, "she has been reborn and this is my punishment for failing her."
"No," the voice said, "this is a dream caused by a poison your queen is dead and her oaths do not bind you any longer, you are free to do what you wish now. You can not let your old life hold you back any longer."
"Pleas just leave me alone," Jr. sobbed as he tried to crawl away again. He felt a paw be placed on his eye. Light filled his vision and after a moment he could see. He sat down and wept as the figure walked in front of him.
"You can chose to help your friends or stay here in darkness that is your choice."
Jr. looked up at the blue vixen that stood in front of him for a moment before he held out his hand. When the vixen grasped it they both vanished in a flash of light.
Wolf groaned as he moved forward toward this new Fox. He could no longer count the number of time he had watched him die or how many time he had killed him. All the while Fox taunted him and teased him and mocked him. He grimaced as he felt several of his wounds reopen as he struggled forward. As he neared the new Fox it lashed out with a quick jab that sent Wolf to the ground.
"Your pathetic you now that Wolf."
"Why won't you die," Wolf muttered.
Fox raised a paw and prepared to strike Wolf again when he vanished in a flash of light. Wolf looked up and saw Krystal in Fox's place.
"So now I have to kill his bitch great, just do me a favor and stay dead."
"Wolf I am here to help you," Krystal said softly.
"Like hell you are," Wolf said as he started to stand up.
Krystal grabbed him and held him down, "Wolf you can't keep this up, your quest for revenge is going to destroy you, you have to learn to let it go."
"And why should I do that do you know what he did to me."
"He did what he was paid to do, all he did was follow order the same as his father and the same as you have done countless times," Wolf hung his head low, "can you blame him for that."Wolf shook his head after a moment. "The system need you now Wolf weather you like it or not, you can let your revenge get in the way of that, you have to let go for everyone sake." Held out her paw to Wolf and after a moment he took it. Wolf vanished in a flash of light as Krystal thought now for the last one as light flashed around her
