Dark Side Rising
Chapter 1
Uprising
It's been over a year since Fox and Falco left to return to their home. As seniors in high school, they all decided on what they would do in the future as they graduate from college. Joey finally decided that he'll join the military with Tristan as they'll both become an Army Reserve officer. Duke decided to keep running his Dungeon Dice business as it keeps spreading as much as Duel Monsters. Yugi isn't going to go to college since he'll be taking over the shop for his grandfather when he graduates from high school. Téa found a place to learn more on dancing and decided to become a ballet teacher. Mai decided to work at a beauty salon and continued to be a professional duelist. Bakura's future is still undecided as he keeps frantically searching for what to do. Seto doesn't need to go to college as he's already running a business, like Duke has been. As for Serenity, her future has already been decided as she's taking time to become both a psychologist and is taking the time in the basement of the home Fox and Falco used to occupy to train as a Jedi. She and Joey decided to take the home to live in a couple months after Fox and Falco left.
Joey arrived at Kaiba Land with Tristan as they were looking for Serenity. She left a note saying that she'd be at Kaiba Land, but there wasn't any other reason. Joey and Tristan were passing by an occupied holo deck as they could hear the sounds of a lightsaber.
"Hey, do you think that would be Serenity?" Tristan asked.
"I bet it is," Joey answered.
Joey pressed a button on a panel near the door, opening it to see a bunch of monsters surrounding Serenity. They watched in amazement as Serenity kept fending off strike after strike from her enemies as her lightsaber zipped through the enemies. The holograms disappeared as Serenity deactivated her lightsaber.
"What brings you here, Joey?" Serenity asked.
"Nothing. I'm just checking up on ya," Joey said.
As a dueling stand began to lower down, someone hopped off of it as it came about 5 feet away from the ground. As the young boy stood there with his deck at hand, he looked over to Joey.
"You should've seen your sister beat all of those monsters!" Mokuba said.
"Yeah…I wish I was here for that," Joey said.
"Well…we were able to see the last few be dispatched," Tristan said.
Serenity left the holo deck arena and went to Joey as her face was full of sweat. She kept breathing hard from training however long she wanted to train for. She was wearing her usual pink vest and yellow shirt. The only difference is that she's wearing a pair of jeans that she found to fit her from Lisa's wardrobe. They had a good fit around her waist as they didn't sag down, like how some guys wear their pants.
"Hey, sis, why don't we go to Burger World and get something to eat, okay?" Joey asked.
"Sure, but do you think Mokuba would want to come along as well?" Serenity asked.
"I'll be fine here," Mokuba said.
"You sure? I'm sure you're hungry."
"Not really. I had a late breakfast this morning, so I'm good."
"Okay. Thanks for letting me use your holodeck!"
"No problem!"
Joey, Serenity, and Tristan all left Kaiba Land as they were heading over to Burger World. Téa still works there, and the group was hoping they could meet up there today. Serenity didn't have that at mind at all, but she was more concerned for Fox.
"I wonder where he is now. The last message I got from him was about his date with Krystal and how the whole team was doing. He also talked about how the Star Fox team joined Rogue Squadron and were given the group code Rogue…but that was 10 months ago. I hope he's doing okay…"
Over at the Lylat System, three AR-Wing class ships were flying in formation as they were heading for Corneria. They began to make a plunge towards the planet as they began to pass by gigantic Mon Calamari Star Cruisers, Blockade Runners, Cornerian Flagships, the Great Fox, X-Wings, Y-Wings, B-Wings, A-Wings, Cornerian Starfighters, Jedi Starfighters, and numerous Star Destroyers and thousands of Tie Fighters.
"Red 10, you have one on you six!"
"Red 10, this is Red 6. I got your back!"
"Green 7, you have three on your tail!"
"This is Green 12. We lost Green 4!"
"Gray Leader, this is Blue 2. I'm on your port!"
"Red Leader, this is Gray 5. I have your Starboard."
"This is Rogue Leader calling all ships," Fox said over his comm. "It's critical that we hold the enemies back!"
Fox, Falco, and Krystal all broke their formation and began to pick off Tie after Tie as they tried to keep the enemies from getting to the evacuation ships. A few Tie Fighters got past the Starfighters, but were destroyed instantly by the Star Cruisers' turrets. Fox saw that the fight wasn't going in their favor as the imperials have somehow reformed their groups and decided to attack Corneria.
"How did the remnants of the Empire all of a sudden be able to form a powerful attack force like this?"
Fox saw that the fight was shifting in the Remnant's favor, but they now can retreat as the last evacuation transport ship left the system. Fox opened a link to all of Rogue Squadron and the Cornerian army.
"All ships; begin your retreat now!"
As the starfighters without hyperdrive units began to board their designated ships, they began to make the jump into hyperspace. Fox saw that a few Blockade Runners and Cornerian Flagships were destroyed in the process as they were close to making the jump. All of the other ships made the jump into hyperspace as they were able to retreat.
"If my calculation is correct…then they're their next target…"
As Fox got into the main deck of the Great Fox, he went to his chair and began to formulate a plan to save as many people on Earth as possible.
"Fox, the Remnant's target is Earth, right?" Krystal asked.
"Yeah…but…we have to be quick about it."
"Why?"
"…I have a bad feeling about it…that's why."
Peppy began to map out Earth and its population to figure out what they could do and what they shouldn't do. They know that they're going to need a lot of support to save them, but they're running out of time.
"I'll have to send Serenity a message…to inform her to be ready for anything."
A month has passed since Serenity received a message from Fox. She couldn't figure out why she needed to be prepared for the worst, but she has to be ready, no matter what. Ever since she began to feel a strange presence, she wanted to know what it was and where it was coming from. She got back home from training at Kaiba Land with Mokuba's help to see that Yugi, Téa, Tristan, Joey, Mai, Duke, and Bakura were talking while they waited for Serenity to return.
"Hey sis," Joey said.
"Hey guys," Serenity greeted. "I'm going to be in my room resting a bit, okay?"
Serenity went to her room as she put aside her lightsaber and flopped on the bed. She began to rest, thinking about what she was to do if they did come. Within minutes, she began to hear something very faint, but she can't really make it out. She went back out to the living room as she could hear a hybrid of a low and high pitch sound coming from outside. From what she could hear, it sounded like there was more than one of them, but she couldn't make out what they were. She went outside to see something that looked likes double barrels attached to each other to two bent wings. She kept looking as she saw something coming from the ships as it shot towards the city.
