Note: I started this long before a year ago. I lost interest in this project until I played Star Fox Assault and read some of the other Star Fox fan fics. I have decided to bring this back and better than ever. Also since Krystal didn't have any spotlight, (everyone knows she didn't) I will add her in the story from the beginning. Hah, let's see them handle that!
Disclamer: Blah, Blah, Blah, you should know that Star Fox is owned by Nintendo and/or Rare. I wish I did own them though. Sam Britt and any other characters in this story are mine and if you want to use them, you have to ask me!
Dinosaur Planet
Chapter One: Unexpected Visit
On the Great Fox, eight years since Fox had defeated Andross on Venom; the team was bored and broke at the moment. Falco had left the team a few years back because there were no jobs. The team was drifting the Lylat System and pretty bored with their lives. Slippy was looking on the computer for nothing in particular, Peppy was looking at a very old magazine that he had found in Falco's room, and Fox was taking a nap and dreaming of all the missions he had done before complete boredom took over.
"Fox, the TV in the den is not working." Peppy said. "Not only that, but the Arwings are busted. It'll take me some time to fix all three." Slippy said. Fox opened his eyes and looked very agitated, "Great." Fox said sarcastically. "We'll just have to use the spare one until Slippy fixes them." Fox said. "But there is some good news, there is someone who wants to take Falco's place." Slippy said. "He is waiting in the docking bay." Peppy said. "Tell him to come in." Fox said. Peppy called the newcomer into the den. When the person came in, he was wearing a very large coat. The person also covered their head with a baseball cap.
Everyone looked at the person suspiciously. "Ok, do you have a name?" Fox asked. The person tried not to look at Fox. "My name is um… Samuel Brittson. Yeah that's it." the person said in a low voice. 'This person is acting too suspicious.' Fox thought. Fox was about to ask the person another question, but as Rob walked towards the den, he ran into the new person, causing both of them to fall over. When the person got back up, the coat and cap fell off and they were all shocked. The newcomer wasn't a guy, it was a girl. She was a pretty red headed vixen with green emerald eyes and she wore a white T-shirt with green sweat pants.
"Slip, you didn't tell me the person was a girl." Fox whispered to Slippy. "How was I supposed to know." Slippy replied back. Fox looked back at the newcomer and saw that she was trying to hide the fact that she was a vixen, not a vulpine. "Why didn't you just tell us?" Fox asked. The vixen looked down at the ground, "Well, seeing how your team was only made up of boys, I thought that was the only way to get in. Also judging from how bored you three looked, I guessed you needed something new to happen, which was me." she said. "Ok, and I take that Samuel Brittson isn't your real name either." Fox said. The girl looked up at him and studied him, "You're right, that isn't my name. My real name is Sam Britt. What a change, huh?" she asked, rubbing her head. 'I can tell this is going to be lovely.' Peppy thought.
Suddenly the A.V. screen popped up and as usual it was General Pepper. "Fox, I have granted the money you requested. I will give it to you after you do one mission." General Pepper said. Fox looked at the screen with patience, "What is that?" he asked. "There is a planet not far from where your ship is drifting that is right on the skirts of the Lylat System. It is falling apart and the core of the planet is unstable. If someone doesn't save that planet, then the unstable core would blow and probably take the whole Lylat System with it. Once you complete this mission, then I will send the money you wanted. Oh, and another thing, we have decided to give this planet a temporary name as Dinosaur Planet. Pepper out." he said and the screen went blank.
Fox looked at Rob and saw him working at a computer. "Rob, how long before we reach Dinosaur Planet?" Fox asked. Rob clicked buttons and took in calculations. "Thirty six hours and twenty minutes." the robot said. "Good, that gives us some time to know a little bit more about our new teammate." Fox said, glancing at Sam. "Right, why don't we try with some boxing, I love a good work out." Sam said. Fox raised an eyebrow, "Ok, you and me." he said and gave a cocky smile. She gave one back, "I should warn you though, I'm pretty good." she said. "This ought to be good." Slippy whispered to Peppy. "Indeed." the old hare replied. They all walked into the gym. Peppy and Slippy sat down while the two foxes stood in the middle of the room.
"Let's see what you got." Fox said. "My pleasure." Sam said and took off her shirt. She had on an exercise bra and Fox looked at her with a confused look on his face. Sam caught the question in his eyes and looked away. "I was prepared to show my moves, so I wouldn't have to dress out." she said. Fox got into a boxing stance with his right fist a little away from his chest and his left arm at his side. Sam did the same thing and they both walked in a circle pattern. Sam decided to attack first and punched at Fox's stomach. He backed away and went back in with a few jabs of his own. She got hit with one little tap before she pulled away. She saw him grin and knew that she had him where she wanted him. She kicked at him and he blocked the furious kicks of the vixen. Fox punched at Sam, but she jumped into the air and tried to plant a kick on his chest. He blocked the kick and was skidding back a little across the floor. She ran at him and put all her force into one punch and was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. She looked at what had tapped her and didn't see anything. When Sam turned back around, she saw Fox's fist an inch away from her face.
"Wait a second, you used your tail to tap my shoulder. That's not exactly fair." Sam said. Fox smirked, "That fact won't matter when you're really fighting. You need to use all of your body, even your tail." Fox said. "I'll keep that in mind." Sam said. They both walked out of the gym and freshened up. 'I hope this mission won't be as boring and long as it sounds.' Fox thought before he took a shower. Little did he know that it wasn't just a mission, it was a journey that would change his and Sam's life forever.
