(Great Fox bridge)
The bridge of the Great Fox was silent except for the occasional beep from the computers. Peppy broke the silence. "Fay can you do me a favor? Contact the Cornerian Defense Headquarters." Fay then slid over to a nearby computer terminal, after a few quick keystrokes a secretary's face appeared and the Cornerian insignia was visible in the background. "Good afternoon, how can I help you?" the secretary said politely.
"I would like to speak with General Pepper please. Tell him it's the Star Fox team."
"One moment please." The screen went to a picture of the Cornerian Defense Fleet insignia, accompanied with a sky blue background. After Peppy waited for a brief moment the General's face appeared on the screen. "Hello Peppy. What can I do for you?"
"I would like to inform you that we will be testing some new equipment and we need your consent for these test."
"What will exactly will you be testing?"
"A sort of warping technology, also we will need a team of scientist to record these test"
"Sounds good, you have my consent, and I will have the paperwork done by tomorrow. Pepper out."
(Great Fox hallway)
Janet was walking down one of the Great Fox's many metallic hallways. She was planning on going on one of the Arwing simulators, then she came across Lazar and Fox, sweaty and worn out.
"Hey boys. You win again Lazar?" He voice was oozing with sarcasm just like her father.
"Yeah I won, and won big time." A grin of satisfaction crossed Lazar's face.
"I'm telling you, you mother is giving you lessons behind my back! Fox stubborn as always, was still unable to get over the fact Lazar beat him in such a dazzling fashion.
Janet decided to toy with Fox a little bit,"Did you actually have to try and beat Lazar Fox?"
"Yes, if I was five years younger it would be a totally different story." Fox was starting to feel old after that comment.
"Well, whatever, nice job showing up your father like that Lazar." Janet then continued to walk down the hallway.
(Fox and Krystal's room)
Krystal was in the room reading a book. A soft knock came to the door, then the door slid open and Fox walked in. "Hello Fox, how did you match with Lazar go?" she asked kindly.
"Take a guess."
"Lazar"
"Yup, every time I spar with him he gets faster and more skilled."
"Then you should be proud of him"
"I am, it's just the fact he rubs it in."
"You used to be like that too you know."
"Yeah, I was. I'm gonna get into the shower, sparring with that kid works up a good sweat."
"From what you told me, I can believe you." Krystal put her book down her book, got up and gave Fox a kiss on the cheek. "Take your time, relax, you need it."
"Alright, I could use a good hot shower anyways." Fox returned her kiss and then walked off to the bathroom.
(Lazar's room)
Lazar just walked into his room. Lazar's room looked like an average room, for a teenager anyways. Lazar had a queen sized bed, sound system, television, game system and, many other odds and ends, including some family heirlooms, for example, James' sunglasses, which were in a air-tight display case. Lazar made a bee line to the bathroom to take his shower. He removed his clothes revealing a well toned body, all that training with his father have paid off over the years.
Tomorrow I'll ask Mom to spar with me, I've seen her train with her staff, but I never saw her in combat, just stories. And to think, I'm half Cerinian. What my Mom told me about her powers amaze me. I think that's what give me an edge over my Dad. And one day I'd like to use that gold staff Mom has.
(Great Fox hangar bay)
Miyu was absorbed in his work, he is working on the final adjustments for the Arwing jump-drives. Fine tuning every possible thing imaginable. Miyu would do one small adjustment and then many rigorous computer simulations. Peppy then walked in with good news. "Miyu." no answer, "Miyu!" still no answer, Peppy then decided to get behind Miyu and shout. "Miyu!"
"Whaaah! What was that for Peppy?" Miyu said startled.
"Trying to get your attention. I have some good news you would like to hear. General Pepper is allowing us to test the Arwing jump-drives tomorrow. How are the pretests coming along?"
"Good, good, I'm doing the final adjustments right now. I can't wait for tomorrow, to test the Arwings and see if all my hard work paid off."
"You know Miyu, you remind me of Slippy, he now works with his dad. They designed the new Landmaster model you see that we have." There was a slight pause before Peppy spoke again. "Boy am I getting old. I remember working with James, now I work with his grandson. Fox always said to me 'Peppy, the day you die is the day you retire'"
(Simulator)
Janet was being tailed by three enemy ships. She easily looped around destroyed the trio of fighters. Suddenly six more fighters shot at Janet's Arwing, she barrel rolled and deflected the laser shots. She then did a U-turn barrel rolled again and destroyed the targets. Janet decided she was bored with the simulations, she shut down the simulator and exited. She'd rather fly with Lazar but he just got done sparring with Fox, so she decided to head back to her room.
