The Unknown

Chapter 2: From Cornerian Air Space

Fox was on his way to Earth waiting for directions from General Pepper. When Fox was few billion miles from Great Fox, a message from General Pepper came up. "Fox, I assume you're ready for directions?" "Of course sir." " Fine then, my scientist here will give you the directions." "Hello Fox McCloud. I want to take the time to thank you for taking this mission in to consideration. We will double your pay when you arrive back to Corneria." "Thanks." "Now first engage your hyper drive." Fox engaged his hyper drive & after a few seconds Fox was with in a new solar system.

Fox looked around in amazement for a long time. He never saw a solar system so unusual before. "Fox, are you there?" "Yes I am." "Okay now continue to fly towards the blue/ green planet." Fox flew towards Earth very steady. The scientist warned Fox to not blow his cover or he would be killed. Fox took his advice & he went through Earths atmosphere.

It didn't take Fox long to pass through the atmosphere so all he had to worry about was where to land. Thinking quickly, Fox landed on a small island. After landing, Fox opened the hatch to his Arwing & jumped out. Fox set an invisibility setting on his Arwing & it went invisible.

"I need to find a way to blend in with my surroundings." Fox looked around & he saw something that looked disturbing. He saw a fox looking at him with its head turned. Fox walked towards it & then it growled at him then it ran off. Fox assumed that there was something wrong with it because he never saw anything like that before. "Wait, I have to blend in, like him I guess." Fox looked himself up & down & then he stripped himself naked like the fox he saw & he got down on all fours. It was awkward for Fox to walk around the way he was, but this was the only way that he was sure he couldn't possibly be caught by anyone.

Fox carried his bags in his mouth to throw off on lookers, & he continued to walk around looking for a human. After 3 hours of walking, Foxs hands got tired & he started to walk up right, & carried his bags on his back to let his hands relax. As Fox was walking he stepped on to a bear trap & it clamped on his right foot. Unaware, Fox yelped & fell to the ground throwing his stuff down. He turned on his back & tried to open the bear trap with his hands, but it unfortunately didn't work & it scarred his hands up badly.

A group of kids ran up to Fox & saw him in his condition. "Tommy I told you that bears don't live over here, only foxes." "Okay Chris I was wrong! Are you happy now?" "What are you to boys up to?" "Nothing Lauren, we were talking about what lives on the island & I just proved Tommy wrong." "You caught a fox! Where's the key to the trap?" "It's in your pocket Lauren." "Ohh right." Lauren pulled the key out of her skirt pocket. She didn't want Fox to get away so she waited until he was going to chew his foot out. "Lauren why isn't he chewing his foot out?" "I don't know but I want you to hold his upper & lower legs." The boys held Foxs legs & arms as Lauren unlocked the trap & pulled it back. Fox was relieved & thinking about what the scientist told him & the fox he did what the boys would expect a fox to do…he bit Tommy's arm & then he attempted at getaway. Lauren grabbed Fox by his tail & she kicked him…in the balls. Fox once again fell, but on his stomach in pain. Lauren grabbed Fox by his legs & swung him up on her right shoulder.

After a while, Lauren carried Fox to her house & she threw him down a stretcher. She then wrapped Tommy's arm up. Fox managed to bite the boy so bad that he needed hospital attention. He struck a nerve on the boy's arm that was going to be checked immediately. Lauren called the ambulance & told them of Tommy's wounds & then, after 30 minutes of waiting they took Tommy & away to the hospital & Chris went with them. Lauren walked back in the room with the stretcher & she saw Fox was still there.

"You son of a bitch!" Lauren yelled as she punched Fox one good time in the stomach. This hit was the straw that broke the camels back for Fox as he got up as Lauren was about to lay another punch & he grabbed both of her arms. "What's your problem!" Fox spoke accidentally. Lauren screamed & she tried to get away from Fox but he backed her into a corner still grabbing her arms & now stepping on between her legs so she couldn't kick him. Lauren was horrified that he could talk & that he was walking up right.

Fox realizing that he messed up his mission let her go & backed off of her. "Where are you going?" "Why do you care? You put out a trap that damaged my foot badly, you kicked me in the balls, & then you busted me in the stomach for defending my self. I didn't like biting the kid but it's better then me punching him." "I…d…didn't know th…that you could talk & walk like…like…like me." Fox gave Lauren a dirty look & then he turned to leave. "Please don't go. Your foot is badly fractured!" "Lauren don't you think that I know that?" "Please don't go I can take care of your wounds & no one would ever find you." Fox thought about Laurens deal & he reluctantly took it, for his foots sake. "I have to go get my bags from out side & I'll be back." Fox responded to Laurens facial expression. She smiled & she pulled out some first aid stuff.

Fox picked up his bags & turned towards Laurens house, suddenly he heard something go off in his bag. Fox looked towards the house & he saw Lauren running towards him. "What's that beeping?" "I have a message." Fox answered Lauren & then he pulled out a com-link that showed General Pepper. "Fox! I never wanted to see you like that! Are you busy?" "No sir I found some shelter with someone." "I see well Krystal wants to see you…" "No, no ,no General don't get…" "Hi Fox…Fox!" Krystal began to cry. "Krystal what's wrong?" "I see now Fox, you love your woman in another species." "No Krystal. Where did you get that assumption?" "Your naked with her!" Fox knew he was naked but he turned around & saw Lauren. She didn't look bad she just had on a sports bra & a mini skirt. "Krystal she isn't naked." "Hmm, you know what Fox. I knew you didn't love me, you loved my body." Krystal ended the transmission.

"Don't worry about it Fox, 2 months later she'll be all on you." "I hope you're right about this Lauren." "I know I am, I have a friend who's like that. I just hope that someone would put her out of her misery at times." "'Hmm, lets change topic." "Okay Fox, what do you want to talk about?" "Are you homoerotic?" "Yeah, what are you?" "A Fox." "You can't be because you talk & walk like me." "I'm from another planet as hard as it is to believe." "Ohh, so your name is Fox?" "Yes." "What's your last name?" "McCloud." "Ha! My last name is McKinney. I don't feel like alienated now that I'm not the only one with Mc in the beginning of their last name." "You felt alienated?" "Yeah, because I was the only McKinney & every one laughed at me for it."

Fox looked at Lauren, he liked her personality a lot & not only that but she was going to shelter him. As they conversed further they went in the house & continued to the room with the stretcher in it. Fox let Lauren fix his foot in a splint & place it in a boot. Though Lauren was just helping Fox as a courtesy, she eventually wanted to keep him with her. The feeling was mutual; Fox didn't want to go back to Great Fox knowing that Krystal assumed he didn't love her.
