It's November now and we are not far away from December now. The holidays are close and I hope that many of you are enjoying your day. A new chapter of the SF story and this one should be good. Enjoy this chapter and I hope that it does come out good. I don't know how long this will be but it should still be good enough.

48 hours later

Yesterday Venom hostiles were setting up the meeting area with tables, weapons, and ammunition. Fox and Falco were watching from the hotel and can see that they were setting up everything before today. Roach ordered them both to record this so that Corneria HQ can get this footage and use this for evidence against Kew for their actions of joining Venom. If the deal becomes successful then Kew could have a serious amount of weapons on criminal hands in a few weeks time. This deal can not be mad at all. They had to take out Dash Bowman today.

July 22, 09:30 hrs

Abandoned Hotel, City of Fachina

Exo Type: Specalist

Riot Shield

Overdrive

Stim

Target: Dash Bowman

Distance: 900 meters

Bullet travel: 1.10 secs

Both Fox and Roach were prone and Fox was looking at the image of Dash Bowman right now since it was now time to take him out. Roach spoke to Fox who was tasked to take out Dash. "Fox the meeting is underway. Enemy vehicles have been sighted entering the area now." The weather outside was cloudy but no snow falling at all. They still had the same clothes and gear. The M82 .50 Cal was set up and ready to go, Fox took position on it and looked through the scope and zoomed in onto the meeting. Their were vehicles and hostiles around the area at least ten plus foot mobiles watching the area, and two more vehicles came in. Both could contain people from Kew and Dash Bowman. The men watching the meeting where Venom fighters. Falco was finishing up their escape route since they are going to repel from ropes down to the ground. Roach activated a detector beacon to trace if any of O'Donnell's men were present as well.

Fox zoomed in on the meeting and Roach spoke. "Target distance is 900 meters bullet travel is over one second. Keep that in mind when you engage. Once he's out, the others will scatter off in different directions." The two vehicles stopped in different places and the one on the right had a couple of Kew members and then the other vehicle door open and out comes Dash with a brief case which appeared to be the money for the deal with Kew. Roach continued to look through the binoculars and zoomed in on Dash and spoke. "Okay, he's here. Wait for my order. Target acquired, I have a positive ID on Dash Bowman." Dash and the Kew members met up and Dash set the case on the table and opened it up. What he had appeared to be gold bars which are worth a lot and they are very rare to see in parts of the Lylat System. Fox had Dash in the crosshairs and ready to take the shot when Roach ordered him to. Just then enemy a Venom hostile arwing came into view of Fox's scope and Roach spoke. "Damn it, where did he come from? Patience my friend, wait for a clear shot." The aircraft was patrolling the area very cautiously and making sure nothing happens. As it moved away, Fox and Roach were able to see Dash Bowman and the Kew members as well.

The meeting started to turn sour and Dash seemed unhappy with what response that he was getting from the Kew members and it was going to end at any moment. Roach spoke to Fox giving the order. "It's now or never. Take him out." Fox aimed at him with the M82 .50 Cal and fired the shot. The bullet travel and hit Dash's left arm, his left arm blew off from the bullet impact. He flipped over and fell to the ground. The hostiles were alerted from the shot and scattered. Roach spoke. "Target down. His arm blew off, that should be a problem for..." Then they saw Dash get up and make a run to a vehicle and got in and Roach spoke. "Shit, he's alive. That's not good." They saw him leave with the vehicle with whoever driver was in their and got out and so did the Kew members. Roach spoke. "Fuck their onto us. Take out the pilot on the Arwing, it'll by us time." Fox saw the enemy aircraft and aimed for the pilot and waited for the perfect shot. The Arwing stopped and Fox aimed and fired. The shot hit the pilot and the enemy aircraft descended and crashed to the ground. Roach spoke. "Nice job Fox. We got to go now. They'll be looking for us soon." Both Fox and Roach got up, and made moved up to Falco and Roach spoke. "It's time to go you two get clipped on and ready to go, their going to bomb the shit out of this floor any second." Both Fox and Falco followed their commanding officer and clipped onto the ropes and they all repelled down to the ground just in time to see the top get bombed.

Primary weapon were the RSASS Scoped, second primary were their choice of weapon. Secondary the USP. 45 Silenced. As they unclipped from the ropes, Roach ready his assault rifle the ARX-160 ACOG. Fox ready his BAL-27 Hybrid Sight, and Falco got his HBRa3 ACOG loaded and ready as well. Roach spoke. "To the south west. Follow me." He then contacted for their extraction. "Jester 4-9, this is King 6. We have been compromised. I say again, we have been compromised. Now heading to Extraction Point 2." The pilot responded. "Alpha this is Vulture 2-6. We're on route ETA 20 minutes. Don't be late. We're stretching out fuel as it is. Out." As the ran to the SW, hostile forces were coming out and enemy air transports arrived and more troops roped down. It's now taking a turn for the worst. All three operatives changed from their Marksman sniper rifles to their assault rifles to engage hostiles and clear a path to get to the extraction point. Their were lots of options and Roach knew one thing and spoke. "Forget these guys were going to get left behind." Both Fox and Falco followed Roach as they continued to go SW.

They entered a apartment building and Roach lead the way through the building using the first floor and crossing through a couple of rooms to continue to the extraction point. As they reached a breach exit, a small group of hostiles came by and the operatives engaged the hostiles. As they took them out, another small group of Venom fighters came out from the building to the right and the operatives engaged. Roach saw another enemy aircraft and shouted out. "Incoming Arwing! Snipe the baster!" Fox and Falco took out the last group and then all three men switched back to the RSASS and fired at the aircraft. They started to aim for the engines so the enemy pilot can loose control.

It didn't take long for the pilot to loose control of the arwing and Roach spoke. "Goodnight you bastard." Then the rockets of the aircraft were fired and it hit the building and was crashing towards them and Roach saw and shouted. "Fuck! Run!" The enemy aircraft crashed and slid through the ground and Falco fell to the ground. The aircraft was coming towards him and he got up but messed up his leg in the process. The arwing came to a halt as Falco was crawling and Falco looked back and saw the aircraft and spoke. "Bloody hell, my leg is messed up. I can't move." Roach spoke. "Use the Stim from your Exo, it should help you recover from the damage you took to the leg." Falco activated the Stim and his leg was being healed. However he still couldn't walk, Falco spoke. "Sorry lads, one of you needs to carry me."

They were on the clock and Fox decided to help Falco out. Roach switched back to the RSASS since they needed to take out the hostiles much faster, Falco and Roach switched as well since they were running out of time. Roach spoke to Fox. "If we run into trouble Fox, your gonna have to put Falco down in a good spot so he can cover us. The extraction point is to the southwest. We can still make it, if we hurry. Follow me." Fox helped Falco up and followed Roach's lead as they continued to go southwest using what ever cover their was and trying their best to avoid getting in contact with any hostiles that were around.

Time remaining for them was 15 minutes and they had to pick up the pace since they didn't have much time at all. The three operatives were avoiding every patrol and aircraft that would drop more hostiles to the ground in specific areas and some came near them. They approached another apartment building and Roach spoke. "Into the apartment, we can try and loose them there." They headed to the entry way and went up the stairs following Roach. Fox was very careful with Falco helping him get through some hard points in the area of the city.

It took them a couple of minutes to get out of the building and ahead was another building, but Roach spoke. "We're almost there, the extraction point is on the other side of this building. Let's go." Fox continued to carry Falco even though his arms were tired, but he had to get through this so he can get the quick breather when they get to the extraction point. He followed Roach into the building. They made to an opening from a wall and there were two hostiles up ahead and Roach took them out using the RSASS. After that they hit the ground again and made it with plenty of time to the extraction point. They needed to hold the area for their extraction to come and the pilot contacted Roach. "Alpha 2-6 here, we are standing by for your signal. Over." Roach spoke. "Our extraction is standing by at a safe spot. Fox put Falco down on on the small hill near the bushes so that he can give out sniper support." The area had another building to the right and a lot of cover. However, the field behind them had so much open area that using the small hill will be a perfect spot to use for sniper support. Fox moved to the small hill and Falco to him to set him down just to the right of concrete cover and Fox placed him their and Falco sat down with his wounded leg crossed in and his good leg straight forward. Roach spoke to Fox. "Get the claymores ready, this is a great spot to use them. The enemy is bound to enter this area so we got to find a good sniping area like Falco. I'm going to signal our ship in 60 seconds. Follow me to the field Fox." They both made a run for it to the field. Back when they were in the hotel waiting one of the crates contained claymores and a good amount for this part of the situation that their in currently.

They both began to set claymores on areas of the field and towards the right flank which was likely that the hostiles will use it to try and avoid getting hit in the kill zone. After setting enough on the field and right flank, they began to set up what was left of the claymores at the multiple cover spots that were around. Then they returned back to the small hill with Falco and took up positions and Roach activated the beacon. "All right lads. The beacon is activated, good luck to you both." Roach said and the pilot contacted him. "Alpha we got your location, hang tight you guys were on route now. 2-6 out." Their extraction was on the way.

With the beacon active Venom patrols and reinforcements know where they are now and were coming as well. The operatives had to hold them off as long as they can to get extracted.

Hostile forces were entering the area and Roach spoke. "Tangos in sight. Let them get closer." Hostiles began to run into the field and were caught by surprise by the claymores and it was taking them out one by one. They decided to make the charge and the three operatives began to engage taking out the hostile group. However another group came in and was running in looking for them. The operatives continued to engaged them, still more hostiles were coming at them. Suddenly Roach's beacon detector picked up O'Donnell's men in the process. They were in the group and Roach spoke to Falco and Fox. "O'Donnell's men are here as well, and they are coming as well, they are undercover as Venom followers as well. Take them out as well, their hostile." Venom will likely cry for war against Star Wolf and Sargossa Space Station if they see the bodies on the ground when they pick up their dead." Falco and Fox smiled at this, if dead men that belong to Wolf is enough to make Venom outraged for them spying on them. Dash and Andrew will cry for war against Star Wolf.

First wave of hostiles were down but then it got worse and Roach shouted. "Enemy transport ships! Inbound!" Multiple transport ships came in and were full of hostile forces. The ships set up in specific spots and ropes were dropped and the hostiles roped down. As the hostiles ripped down, the operatives engaged engaged them when hostiles began to set their boots on the ground. More hostiles were coming from the fields as well. Roach contacted the pilot. "Vulture, we are heavily outnumbered, where the fuck are you?" The operatives continued to engage. Vulture 2-6 responded to the call. "Copy that Alpha, we'll be their ASAP. Hold tight." They had to hold out for a bit more but at least their were still claymores planted through out the area taking out hostiles as they try to get them.

More Venom forces kept on coming and they couldn't hold out forever.

Five minutes later their extraction arrived and landed on the LZ and the back hatch opened up and four other operatives came out and held onto the back side. They were in snow digital combat clothes, tan tactical boots, black thermal tactical cloves, tan balaclavas and tan tactical helmets. They were in an SMG body armor, Specialist Exos and their primary weapon was the SN6 Red dot sight. The hostiles began to engage the four operatives. The four operatives returned fire and the pilot contacted Roach. "Alpha, get your ass on board." Fox helped Falco up and Roach led them to the ship.

Fox helped Falco on and set him down on one of the seats on then crouched down near the exit and Roach entered the ship as well. Then the four operatives got in one at a time. Both Fox and Roach pulled switched back to their assault rifles and were ready to engage any hostiles that could come in their sight. The four operatives were in and the pilot began to lift off the ship. The hostiles were firing on the ship trying to bring it down. The ship however was modified, it had a strong armor platting which was resistant to blaster shots and bulletproof. The pilot immediately closed the hatch and flew back into the open space and Roach told him to get them back to Papetoon. The mission was now finished.

3 days later

July 25, 10:30 hrs

Safehouse, Papetoon

Fox was checking up on some info through his computer right now and was also in contact with Peppy. He and Roach were back to wearing the ACU digital camo uniform and sand tactical boots. He already had the report of the assassination attempt on Dash Bowman along with valuable intel footage of the meeting as well. No orders were yet to be picked up, but at least they had the rest that they needed. However Peppy told Fox and Falco to check up on a recent interview that Roach did with the News. It was broadcasted all over the Lylat System. Fox remembered watching the interview that happened yesterday.

24 hours earlier

The interview was going on and the footage was being show of the mission. Black Serpent never keeps things hidden, they tell the truth no matter what. Roach was talking and had on his balaclava. "For many of you want to know who we are? We are a Counter Terrorist Force and about 48 hours ago an assassination mission was issued on Venom leader Dash Bowman. However, the assassination attempt was not successful. He's alive and still at large including Andrew Oikonny. I also can say this that Dash Bowman lost his entire left arm from the assassination attempt. The weapon that was used to try and take him out is called an M82 .50cal sniper rifle which is a deadly rifle and it has more range then any other sniper rifle that we humans have. It was confirmed that Kew has become an ally to Venom. Also their has been reports of Oikonny outraged about what happened 48 hours ago, when they were picking up the dead bodies of their own, they picked up the dead bodies of followers and members of Sargossa Space Station that support Star Wolf who are threats to this system as well. Reports claim that the people of Andross are crying for war against Sargossa Station and on Star Wolf. Oikonny has a lot on him and soon he will attack. As for Star Wolf and Sargossa, they will have to worry about Venom and Corneria. The three targets of Star Wolf are Wolf O'Donnell, Leon Powalski, and Panther Caroso. I've now executed a kill/capture order on these three men who have stolen their way to be heroes to the Lylat System and poisoned the system with their lies on how they took care of the Anglar War. They took credit away from another Mercenary group as many of you know Star Fox and used them to get to the top, but I exposed them on who they really are. This war that is going on will not end until Dash Bowman, Andrew Oikonny are gone and Venom surrenders, only then will peace be restored completely in the Lylat System."

Present day

The interview that Roach did managed to get people to no longer talk about Wolf and Star Wolf which now their reputation has been destroyed. Fox ended his talk with Peppy and then Roach contacted him and a few others to another room because they had just gotten a mission which was urgent. Fox left his room and joined up with the others at the location and Roach spoke. "Just received a request for assistance in Fortuna. They are asking for extra men to help out with a convoy that is going to carry one of Corneria's Ambassador to a meeting with Fortuna leaders and they have gotten threats of being attacked by Venom forces. Convoy is to leave in 48 hours to the meeting location. We are to leave tonight at 19:00 hours. Our gear and equipment is already on route to Fortuna as we speak. I need my best men out there for this upcoming escort for the Ambassador to make sure he gets to his location safe and unharmed. I'll select 25 operatives that are willing to join me, volunteers are accepted as well. Dismissed."

The group left and Fox returned to his room. He spoke with Falco already and is recovery well after having his leg get messed up back in Fachina, but at least it was not broken. He was sent back to Corneria to rest his leg since he wasn't going to be cleared of about a month or so. Until then Fox planned on going to Fortuna with Roach since he wanted to help out as well. He decided to just wait for his call to know. Until then he decided to go on with the time left here on Papetoon.

Another chapter finished, this one took me some time to do but at least it's done. I hope that many of you enjoyed this one. More is yet to come, but for now enjoy what's out so far. Until then take care, stay safe and have a great Thanksgiving. Signing off.
