Outside the capital of Titan, Mountains

Roach and Fox were in woodland Ghillie suits, gear was mostly an attached shoulder hostler with sniper pouches and a side arm, and sand tactical boots. Weapons they chose were the M14 EBR Scoped, secondary is the 1911 .45. Roach told Sparrow to lead an 8 men strike team while they and Black would cover them. Black along with a well experienced sniper known as 'Kimbo.' Kimbo was an Ex-Criminal working for Star Wolf back then before changing his life around and moving to Corneria. He joined the Task Force plus giving Roach valuable Intel on what Wolf's next moves were. Both he and Black wore the same woodland Ghillie suit, and sand tactical boots as Fox and Roach . They both had the M14 EBR Scoped as well, but their secondary was the G18. He's a dark grey lizard and very aggressive to his enemies. Roach and Fox were in a ridge line that gave them cover and the over view of the safe house from the front and from the sides. Black and Kimbo were in a high ground ridge and had over view from the back and to the outside perimeter to the west. Roach came up and spoke to the Strike team. "Strike team were in position move up and be on the look out for hostiles." Sparrow lead the way and the others followed close behind. They all had woodland camo jackets and pants, sand tactical boots, and sand tactical gloves. Sparrow and the rest were all armed with the M4 fore grip w/ Holographic secondaries that they were carrying was the M9. They all had the same Assault gear and body armor. They were approaching the safe house that Andross' men have been their for quite some time now. Just then Roach saw hostiles in position about 200 meters East from the Strike Team. They were in position on the safe house waiting for them. Roach alerted them. "Sniper Team One to Strike Team, hold position. Hostiles set up an ambush point on the safe house balcony. Were going to take them out."

Sparrow told the team to hold position and the all got done into the high ground. Roach aimed through the scope and checked to see how many hostiles were their at the front of the building. Fox looked as well through the scope and they saw about 8 hostiles on the front perimeter. He told Fox to pick his targets and await for his order to engage. Roach contacted Black to see if they had any contacts on the back side of the safe house and he said that the area was clear. Roach told Fox to get ready to engage. They had their crosshairs on the targets they selected and engaged them. They both opened fire take care of the hostiles up front and one of them shouted out. "SNIPER!" They all got down and tried to hide from the bullets but they did not have a chance at all. The eight hostiles were on the ground dead thanks to Roach and Fox. Roach contacted the Strike Team. "Strike Team, area clear. Be advised they must have alerted the rest of the hostiles inside and they must be ready for you guys waiting to take you out. Breach and clear the safe house now and get the intel that we need. Out."

Sparrow signaled the strike team and they all moved up approaching the safe house. Sparrow told the squad to breach and clear the safe house and they took the first three doors and got frame charges on them and the doors were destroyed and they moved in clearing the inside of the building taking out the hostiles in sight. It wouldn't take long for them to clear it out.

90 seconds later

Sparrow and the others cleared the safe house and Roach heard him say. "All clear squad regroup on me." Sparrow told one of the operatives to start taking pictures and Roach spoke up. "Okay, Sparrow have the team collect everything you can for Operations House Arrest. Names, contacts, places, everything." Sparrow responded. "We're already on it sir. Black Jack will have nowhere to run." Roach responded. "That's the idea. Our extraction chopper is on route now to the SW ETA 5 minutes. Get that Intel. Out." Sparrow told another operative to get on the computer and begin the transfer. He then told the others to get into positions inside the safe house because it's likely that Black Jack would send in reinforcements to attack them. The DSM was connected and the transfer began. Roach came up and spoke. "Black Jack's men are gonna do whatever it takes to keep us from leaving with this intel. We need to protect the DSM until the transfer is done. Use your claymores and set them up if you have any left. Defensive positions. Everyone be ready and stay alert." Sparrow spoke up. "Ready to engage." Roach and Black scanned the area and Roach saw vehicles coming and alerted the team. "Sniper Team One to Strike Team be advised we've got enemy vehicles coming in from the NW and to the S. Enemy trucks in 15 seconds." The trucks stopped in specific areas and both Roach and Fox began to engage the enemy as they began to dismount the trucks. The Strike Team engaged as well. Black and Kimbo waited for their chance since they were still scanning the area.

Hostiles were trying to get in and destroy the DSM but they couldn't get inside. Fox and Roach were keeping them out and then Black came up. "RPG team moving in from East." One of the operatives responded. "Roger that, RPG team moving in from the east." Hostiles were coming from a another spot from the east and they didn't know that both Roach and Fox engaged them. Most of them were armed with rocket launches.

Black and Kimbo engaged as well since they were able to see them in their sights. The DSM transfer right now was at 30% and rapidly picking up the pace. Most of the hostiles were down but Roach alerted them. "RPG team approaching from the west." Sparrow responded. "Solid copy, RPG team approaching from the west. More hostiles have arrived and were trying to attack the team from behind. However the claymores that were placed their were taking them out fast and quick. Still Roach engaged them. Black came up. "More troops coming from the south." Both he and Kimbo engaged them.

The strike team were still holding strong and it was going good for them. The transfer was now at 67% and closing in to being done. Roach alerted the team. "30 plus foot mobiles coming in from the North." Roach began to engage the reinforcements. Black started to engage them as well. Heavy resistance was closing in and they meant it. Still the snipers were holding them off, the strike team continued to engage as well.

5 minutes later the DSM finished the transfer and Sparrow collected it. Roach contacted for the helo. "Red Sparrow this is Alpha 6. We got the intel that we need, heading to the LZ. Do you copy, over." The pilot responded. "Roger that Alpha, we're almost at the LZ you better hurry. We're not going to be here all day." Roach told his troops to head for the LZ right now and all of the operatives did what he ordered them to do.

As they all approached the LZ more hostile were coming behind them and they were now picking up the pace. Sparrow and two others returned fire at the hostiles. The helo began to land and the snipers got in first, following them was the strike team. The pilot began to lift off and they all got out of the mountains heading back to Safe House to check back up on the intel.

Corneria

Falco Lombardi a former Star Fox member and Fox's old friend was in Corneria and when he heard about the new Spec. Ops. unit he wanted to see if it was true that his old friend was now part of it. He had searching for him for about 3 weeks now but hasn't found him yet. His luck wasn't that good now. He then saw an armored humvee go by and saw somebody on the top of it manning the .50 cal. He looked closely and saw that it was Fox manning the gun. He was in deep shock that his best friend was an operative and now a hero to the Lylat System. The humvee stopped at a specific spot and the operatives came out. Falco was watching and looking closely to Fox and he sees that he looks more happier then before. He sees the three operatives head inside a building he saw that this was one of their own properties and it had two guards by the door. Falco wanted to go in but he wasn't allowed due to the guards and he asked one of them to let him see Fox. The guard contacted Roach to see if he can give him authorization to enter the place. When Roach and Fox got the word, Fox wanted to see him too. Roach granted the authorization and the guard opened the door for Falco and he walked into the building. The place looked more like a home then a base, but the place had troops and civilians living together. Most of the operatives were dating or married and started a family and they needed a place to stay first before they found their own home in the future. Some of them did start a family and others were expecting. More then 70,000 Spec. Ops soldiers were in the Task Force and it was still rising up fast. Even they had Loyalist as well. Many of Andross' men retaliated and supported the Task Force and gave them intel on what their plans were and it was a big help.

Falco was looking around still and he couldn't find Fox until a voice came behind him. "My apologies, one has to be careful on who is going to come into this place." Falco turned around and saw Roach and Fox and he was stunned. Roach continued on. "I'm pretty sure you know who I am, Mr. Lombardi. I'm Commander Roach. Commanding Officer of both Task Force 221, and to the entire Corneria military fleet." He offered Falco a hand shake and in which he accepted it and they both shook hands and Falco asked him a question about how the Spec. Ops. unit was created. Roach told him that he created it by an authorization by the President and the Pentagon. They placed him in command of it and sent him here to search for more troops and they would send him troops as well that would join from Earth. The Task Force is to defend homes and save lives. Falco seemed to get some what he says but he still doesn't know much about them. Roach asked him if he wanted to join the Spec. Ops. unit. Falco had a very hard time thinking and needed to be alone for a bit and Roach left. Fox stayed and talked to him and told him that this unit is very good and he would be with him no matter what happens in combat. To him it wasn't an easy choice right now but he accepted to join up. Fox called for him and Roach came back and Falco told him that he was going to join as well. It wouldn't take long before Roach got a contact alert that three bounties were on the run together in Corneria. He responded to it and told Fox and Falco to follow him.

They went to an armory on the second floor. Fox and Roach got on their leg holster and got their sidearms. Roach selected his 1911 .45 while Fox pick out the M9. Falco didn't have a weapon to use at all. Roach explained to him about the weapons that they have and how they are much more different the fire arms were then the blasters. He gave him a leg holster and told Falco how to put it on. After Falco got the holster on, he was given a selection on which sidearm he would choose.

He looked at every sidearm and had a hard time which pistol to pick out until he pick up the P226. 12 round mags and decent firepower, Falco went with the P226. They loaded up on ammo and both Fox and Roach were taking smoke and flash bang grenades. Since it was now freezing out Fox gave Falco a thermal sweater which he and Roach were wearing them already but no body armor or vests at all. After that they all headed out and went searching for the bounties.

15 miles from Corneria

Wolf and the others picked up a call about three bounties on the run in Corneria and they were on they way to try and catch them as well. The money was important to them since they needed it for arms supplies and fuel. However they had problem, they didn't exactly know where to search for them at all when they arrived. This was going to tough for Wolf, Leon and Panther to find three guys on the run in the city. They decided to try and blend in with the people to see if they can find them. They do have their pictures with them so they could find them. This was going to be a tough day for them.

Corneria

Roach led both Fox and Falco around a few streets to see if they came by, until Roach got a notice from his comms. The three bounties were only half a klick to East in an alley, all of them are armed and dangerous. He was notified that Wolf and his two buddies were on the way as well to try and catch them before they did. Since they have the location where they are it was going to be easy to find them now and they all ran to the location.

A few minutes later they all arrived at the alley and Roach saw them from distance and they were all talking together. Two of them were Venom criminals, the other was from Kew. Kew was distant planet from Corneria where tons of criminals and bounties would lie there. Fox gave Roach some explanation about it and it wasn't the greatest place to be at and it does need help to get all of it's crimes out of their. It won't be an easy task at all, but it will be accomplished one day.

Roach moved to wall and looked carefully down the alley not to get caught and then told Fox and Falco what they were going to do. Falco would go around to the other side of the alley and cut them off before they would go in. Fox would follow Roach as they move in to intercept them. Roach told Falco to head to the other side of the alley and contact him when he was their. Falco nodded and immediately headed to the other side. Both he and Fox waited until it was time to move in. It took Falco about two minutes to get into position and he contacted Roach that he was ready.

Roach looked down the alley and saw that they were still there and both he and Fox move in and went in carefully. They pulled out their sidearms and continued to get closer to the targets. They got closer to them and they were right near them and one of the saw them and the other two. Roach spoke up. "Don't even think about. You run, we have someone on the other side. Drop your weapons and put your hands up." The three bounties had nowhere to go. Falco came up to them and all three of the operatives aimed their weapons on them and the targets dropped their blasters and placed their hands up. Roach told both Fox and Falco to check them for any intel and then cuff there hands. As the two operatives did that. Roach got a notice that Star Wolf is in Corneria and looking for the bounties as well. They were running out of time. Roach contacted for extraction. "Rhino 2-1 this is Alpha 6 we got the targets. We need extraction at section Foxtrot Lima 362. Do you copy?" 2-1 responded. "Copy that Alpha were on route now ETA 45 seconds." Fox and Falco got some intel from them and they both cuffed up the targets hands, just then they saw the three Wolfens in the air. O' Donnell was now right on top of them and they needed to get out of the area before they were compromised.

A transport truck arrived and they immediately placed them in and they all got in as well. Roach signaled the driver and they were out of the area before Star Wolf could see them. With the bounties in their hands it was a good day for them. Still they had to find Black Jack. Their wasn't much enemy presence around the Lylat system but Roach believes that he has a plan that is going to be used on them and onto the allied forces.

Oceans of Corneria

USS Yorktown Cruiser ship

Falco and Fox were out looking at Corneria as they were approaching port. Falco did 3 months of special training and did an excellent job. He received a couple of promotions which ranked him to Sergeant. Black Jack hasn't attacked yet and things were quiet for the Lylat System. Fox and Falco were returning from a trade shipment. Arms supplies and ammunition was sent to Fortuna and Titan. After the capture they did with Roach on the bounties that were in Corneria, the cash that they got was sent to Corneria's new Government that was made 8 months ago. Roach was given 12,000 credits by them and split it with Fox and Falco. The two friends felt that this was the life to be at now. Corneria HQ had a meeting and Roach went to it 3 months ago. He and Peppy made an deal and the others agreed to it. Corneria was now going to have a Navy Fleet, they didn't know what to call it, But Roach named the fleet. He called it the 13th Fleet. As the deal went it. The making of the fleet was underway. The 13th Fleet was still being made today. As the boat docked onto port. Fox and Falco got off and returned to the post. Fox had to leave immediately to go check up on Fara since she was expected to have her son any day or any moment. He got is stuff and told his farewell to Falco and got to his car and drove off.

13 minutes later he arrived at Fara's place and went in. Fara was asleep on the couch and he could see her bloated belly. Fara was well into her sleep, until she woke up and looked at Fox. She smiled and Fox came up with a chair and sat down next to her and the two were having a good time since the time was close for their son to arrive. He's likely to be pilot like Fox, or what he is currently now. Fara asked him to help him up and get the suit case ready and other things ready before the birth that could happen any time.

20 minutes later

Fox finished up the last things that they were going to need and they were done. For now the two could relax again and Fara got on the bed and lied down to get some rest since she hasn't been sleeping that good far the last few months now. Fox decided to let her be for now since it could be awhile still before she starts to have her contractions. Roach gave him all the time he need so he can raise his child until he feels that he's ready to return back for duty. He decided to lie down on the couch and try to get some rest.

13:21 hrs

Fox woke up and sat up on the couch and checked out the time and saw it was nearly 1:30 in the afternoon. He got up and went to see how Fara was doing. When he got to her room and check on her. She was awake and looked at him and said. "My water just broke." When he heard that, it was now time. He came next to Fara and helped her out of the bed and walked her outside to his car. After that he rushed back inside to house and grabbed the things to take with them to Hospital.

It took him less then a minute to get everything and looking the door. He got to the car and placed the things in the back and got in and asked Fara. "How are you holding up, Fara?" She started to feel the contraction and the pain. She responded. "The contractions have started and I'm timing it now. The pain started as well." She was wincing each time the contraction hit and the pain as well. Fox left the place and immediately drove to the hospital which wasn't to far away from where they were.

Fox arrived at Corneria's hospital in 15 minutes and made it near the entrance and one of the doctors came out, he was about to ask what was going on until he saw Fara and noticed that she was going into labor. The doctor immediately called for help and a nurse came out with a wheelchair and they helped Fara out of the car and they got her on the wheel chair and got her inside. Fox drove into a lot and immediately got out getting the things and rushed inside to building to meet up with the doctor that has Fara. This was going to be a long day for Fox and Fara.

90 minutes later

Fara was in her hospital room and was breathing in out from the pain that she was going through and doing a great job so far. Doctors told her and Fox that she is likely to give birth tonight. So this gave her time to practice a bit since it was still a ways away, but closing in very fast.

19:21 hrs

The last few hours have been a waiting game but Fara felt that it was now time. She felt that her son was ready to be born. The doctor and a couple of nurses came in and so did Fox. He was wearing a nurses apron and hat since it's time to begin. This was now the hard part for Fara and it's going to be the painful as well. Fox was going to be by her side no matter what happens.

20 minutes later

After a brutal and painful delivery Fara dd give birth to a son. Both she and Fox were looking at him. He was the most amazing looking son that they have now. He has Fox's fur color, the eyes were hard to determine since Fox and Fara eye colors were nearly the same. He had most of Fox's perspectives from the face and so forth. This was a very happy day for Fox and Fara to see their son now. They both agreed on one name. James Phoenix McCloud, the name would honor both Fox's father, and the Phoenix family as well. James P. McCould was their son's name, both Fox and Fara felt happy about it. Now they would begin their life raising their son to be a great person in the future.

Venom capital

Black Jack and his fellow Generals were making an attack plan and it was going to be a surprise attack to make way for an invasion. He told his men that it could take up to two years for it to be done, before they can attack. They heard about the 13th fleet that was being made and they want to take it down before they try for the invasion of all of the Lylat system. With very little defense that they have they were working on looking for an area to use as place to resupply on ammo and reinforcements. It would still take some time but they would find an area soon. Black Jack wants all of the Lylat System to fall into his hands for his Uncle Andross. It won't be long now for him to do the attack and to make sure that the Lylat System will be united on one banner by him. Andross will be the person that all of Lylat will remember him. Black Jack continued on with his plans since he was stopped by the Task Force. He will be back on the grid really soon.

Sorry it took so long. I'm having a hard time right now with things at home and I'm going to be working at a restaurant very soon and that will have an effect on my writing. So for now enjoy what I have. The next chapter will go a year and a half later. Fox's is raising his son along with Fara but things are going to happen to them and he will have to return to the Spec Ops unit and get his head in the game. Until then I'll see you around and i won't know if I can get the next part done before August 3rd. Peace out.
