Here I go once again, going to do another chapter here and I hope I can get another good day to do another one later on but that will depend. Here is the next part and enjoy what I get out this time

One year later

April 7

Corneria

Fox's son James has grown so much and will be a year old in two days and he never felt this happy at all. Fara can see how happy he is as the two have raised this magnificent kit. He somehow kept their spirits high even in the toughest times. Fox returned to his duty to the Task Force about a week ago and introduced his son to his squad mates, even to Falco and Roach. James smiled and said hi to them. He speaks a few words so far and was walking barley. James was really a great kit so far and is having a good time as well. Fara also can see that James has his father's blood in him. The 13th fleet was nearing completion and it will have about 30 ships together guarding the entire city and watching the skies as well.

On the other side of the Lylat System Sargasso station was now gone. A few months ago Krystal left Star Wolf since she couldn't stand the rumors of being a person to back stab Star Fox and also that she wants to return to be with Fox again. She feels alone and the pain that she gave Fox has now countered back to her, she now is sad and regrets joining Star Wolf. She was on her way back to Corneria in hopes to find Fox and she hopes that she can forgive him for all the suffering that she gave him.

Wolf and Leon were much more different as well. Panther betrayed them and Wolf has created his own Inner Circle. More then 250,000 men joined him and they were criminals from all over the Lylat system and his own followers as well. Panther managed to escape from and attack that Wolf sent to try and take him down, but was wounded and he was flying to Corneria. He knew when he got their he wouldn't have much time to find 221 and give them the intel that he got from Wolf and from Black Jack.

Corneria's Ocean

Panther crashed landed into the ocean water near a battleship known as the USS Texas he suffered three blaster shots to the waist and has lost a lot of blood. He was being pulled up by a crane and he saw Roach and Fox. As they got him on board two medics came in and saw Panther on the floor and place rags on his wounds and began to apply pressure on the wounds and Panther spoke out breathing very hard. "Here take... this." He pulled out a drive and papers and Roach took them from and asked him. "How did you get this stuff, and what happen to you?" He responded. "I betrayed them... because Wolf created... an Inner Circle and it's rising fast... Also... Venom is going to... attack the... 13th fleet next year." Fox asked him a question. "What about Krystal is she in trouble?" Panther responded. "She is okay... she left us some months ago... I don't know... where she went... She's okay." Fox was relived that she was fine but the problem was that he didn't know where she could be at now. When Roach heard about the attack he knew that Black Jack was going to be back on the grid soon. Panther spoke up again and said. "You don't have much time... he's going to do... a surprise attack... somewhere on... the city... you... have... to... stop... him... before... it's... too... late." He stopped breathing and he was gone. Panther killed by his own men. Now Wolf was another threat to the Lylat System but much more bigger then before. If it happens then they will be fighting two fronts and try and take them out. Roach contacted Actual and sent them the warning about Venom and Black Jack. Peppy and the others were notified about it and they alerted the 13th fleet as well.

The USS Texas was on route back to the city and the two medics got a body bag and placed Panther in it. He was going to be buried, but they needed to confirm that it was Wolf that caused his death. Until then they had to get ready for anything, if it's true what Panther said, Black Jack must have sent in men to probably do an attack maybe a massacre, but the problem is where is going to happen.

About an hour later the ship returned to port Roach and Fox got off and the two medics were carrying Panther's body to a truck and then they would take him to a facility to investigate his wounds and to confirm that it was Wolf. As they left in the truck, Roach and Fox headed to the Command Post and they needed to gear up immediately.

April 9 10:00 hours

Today is James first birthday and Fox was taking out to the park to see the place where he use to go. Fara was out doing things since her family owns a business and they needed her help from time to time it was hard for her but the deal was that Fox will raise him on his own no matter what happens. Fox took James around telling him everything and he got a small surprise once they return to his home. James was having a nice birthday and he could see that his father was giving him a good birthday so far.

2 hours later

They father and son were back home and Fox set him on the couch and told him to wait their, he headed towards the kitchen and got a small chocolate cake from the fridge and placed a candle on it and lit it up. He took the cake to his son and James sees it and Fox spoke to him. "Happy Birthday son." James looked at the candle as Fox lowered it so that he and James can blow it out and Fox spoke. "Make a wish son, well blow out the candle together." James look at the candle and the he and his dad blew it out together. James was smiling and he hugged his father and Fox hugged him back. They both hugged for a bit and Fox picked him up and took him to the table so he can try out the cake for the first time. He set the cake on the table and got some milk and got a glass and filled it up. He then returned to the table and set James on his lap and got the fork and got and began to get some small pieces and feeding them to James who was enjoying it a lot.

15 minutes later

James enjoyed his cake and was tired for now he was beginning to sleep. Fox took him to his crib and set him down. James got cozy and then fell into his nap. Fox returned to the kitchen and place the cake in the fridge and then cleaned up what ever crumbs were on the table and on the floor. After that he sat down on the couch to take a short break. He was happy but also worried as well, Black Jack was going to attack, but when was it going to happen. For now he could just relax and feel relived that nothing has happened yet but he was ready for anything.

Venom

Black Jack's men were going to head to Corneria to do a surprise attack in 2 months and they had the perfect spot to do the attack and they were going to execute it well. Black Jack wants this war to happen so he can rule all of the Lylat System and be the most powerful leader of all. He then will send out massive air unit to attack the 13th Fleet, once they are down he can begin to pave a way for his invasion. He wants his Uncle Andross' death to be honored by everyone in the Lylat System one he has control of the entire system. For now he continues on with his plans for his surprise attack on Corneria first. He wants to get back on the grid so he can try and take out Fox and the Task Force but they were a very powerful Special Operations Unit. Black Jack got word that they were also known as a Counter Terrorist Unit. Until he can get his hands on Fox and the others, he needs to attack first and he is willing to give it everything he has.

Corneria

Black Jack hasn't attacked yet, but Task Force 221 was still on high alert. Roach, Redcell and 'JayHawk (a.k.a Falco Lombardi) were at the post looking over the UAV video feed that recently passed through the city. No activity at all it was still quiet. 2 months and nothing at all. But that wouldn't be for long. The attack alarm went off and the three operatives heard this and they knew that it was Black Jack. They instantly geared up. They were wearing civilian clothing shirt and pants, tactical boots, tactical gloves and assault body armor. They got their assault rifles and side arms with them, plus their comms. and headed out.

10 minutes later

The attack was at one of Corneria's malls and it was not good at all. Fara was their and she doesn't know what's happening at all, luckily James wasn't with her. He was with a sitter today. The mall was always filled with many people everyday. Roach and the other arrived at the mall with additional troops. The massacre was going on right now and they needed to get inside now to try and stop them. Roach, armed with an ACR Holographic and his 1911.45. Fox has an M416 ACOG Sight and a G18. Falco has an M4A1 Holographic no fore grip. The three were ready to go in and Roach told his men to lock down the exits and secure the perimeter. The three operatives went in and began to search for the hostiles and try to save as many civilian lives as possible.

As they continued to secure each section of the mall they were getting close to Black Jack's men. The Venom soldiers continued on with the attack killing any civilians that were in sight. Fara was hiding hoping that they would pass by her, but she didn't know what to do. As they were getting closer and closer. She was trembling in fear, she finally made a choice to try make a run for it, but it was a bad choice. One of the hostile's spotted her and fired at her. Fara was hit in the leg and twice in the chest. Fara fell to the floor and couldn't do anything else. Just then they hostiles were taken out. Roach, Fox and Falco came up and Roach spoke out. "All clear. Check for survivors!" Roach, Fox, and Falco were checking to see if their were any survivors. Fara spoke out in a low voice and in pain. "Fox." Fox looked and saw Fara on the ground. He went wide eye and was in shock. He ran towards her and checked on her. She was hit twice in the chest and was hit in the left leg. Fox shouted out. "I NEED HELP OVER HERE!" Roach looked and saw him with Fara. He came up next to her and pulled out some bandage patches and places them on her chest wounds to try and stop the bleeding. She was fading away and Roach spoke. "Fox, she's not going to make it. Her vital signs are failing." Fox had tears coming out knowing that Fara wasn't going to live for much longer. Fara spoke out in a low voice. "Fox, it's okay... you remembered... the deal that we did." Fox nodded and Fara continued on in a low voice. "No matter... what happens... you will take care... of our son... You can do this." Fox was looking at her, he was upset and sad that Fara was going to die. Fara spoke out again in a low voice. "Fox can you promise... me this... I don't... want you... to raise James... alone... You have to... raise... him with someone that... you love the most... Promise me." Fara was in tears and Fox looked at her and he responded. "I promise." Fara began to smile and then her eyes were closing and she stopped breathing. Fara was now taken to the other side. Fox burst into tears and he couldn't do anything to save Fara. She was gone and nothing can change that at all. Roach contacted Corneria HQ. "Actual, Alpha 6. Targets are down building is secured. Civilian casualties 1,259. One of the casualties is Fara Phoenix. Continuing search for any more survivors. Out." He walked up to Fox and spoke. "You can stay here if you want. I'm not going to force to to come help us check out the rest of this place." Fox looked at Roach and responded. "Thank you sir, I'm going to stay here until medical extraction arrives." Roach nodded and he told Falco to follow and continued searching for survivors.

On the second floor of the mall. Krystal was hiding, making sure that Fox didn't hear her. When she heard that Fox has a son she felt that her chances were no longer their to try and get him back. But, after hearing that Fara was dead, she now knows that Fox is going to need all the help from her no matter what, but the problem is when? It's going to be a very tough choice for her and she knows that she is running out of time. Krystal loves Fox and she will do anything to get him back.

Venom

The attack was successful enough to kill thousands of civilians and Black Jack was pleased enough, even though his men were now dead in Corneria. With his name back on the grid he is now ready to get phase two into effect in ten months. If it's successful the fleet will be down and the defense on the city wouldn't be as strong. It'll depend on this attack if it succeeds. For now he needed to wait for the right time and day in ten months. Venom will be the dominant one and Black Jack feels that it's their time to rise to be the most powerful leader of all of Lylat.

Corneria Cemetery

Fox has James in his arms and they were at the cemetery walking behind Fara's casket as she was being taken to her burial sight. Along with Fox was Roach, Falco, Fara's family and friends. Fox, Falco and Roach were in their uniform since it was a funeral that they were attending. James was crying but he kept it quit so he wouldn't be too loud. Yesterday Fox told his son that his mom was now gone, James instantly hugged his father and began to cry when he heard what happen. He was young but was understanding very fast. He felt the pain that he and his dad are going to go threw everyday for a very long time. The ceremony of Fara was going to commence very soon and this was going to be very tough for Fox and James to see that somebody that was mother, and somebody that Fox trusted. As everyone got into their seats Roach and the Pastor were up front looking at everyone and the Funeral began.

2 hours later

Roach was saying the last words. "She leaves behind family, friends, an amazing son, and a great city." Fara's family came up and they paid respects to her as most were crying and then Fox walked up to pay his respect as well, he then picked up James and he placed his little hand on the coffin and then hugged his father really tightly. The ceremony was done and the others walked out from the area. Fox met up with Fara's family and they hugged him and his child. The other people hugged him and son, plus Fara's family. After that Fox took James back to his vehicle and they went home.

10:10 hrs

Fox was sitting on the couch and James was at his room taking a nap. Fara's family allowed him to take half of her stuff while they took the other half. Roach gave Fox all the time he needed to be with his son, but Fox told him that he will return to duty in 2 weeks. He then got up and checked out the things that Fara owned. Their were some images of the time they were together when they reunited together, he was smiling at the pictures that they took together and they looked happy, but then he pulled out a rectangle box and it had a note on it. Fox opened it up and it read. 'Hi Fox, if you find this then you should know that I got this for you. No matter what happens to me when I'm gone, I'll always know that you gave me a wonderful life even when we separated a long time ago. Take this tag. I'm sure it will keep your hopes high for the rest of your life. Fara' After he read the note he opened the box and it was a dog tag that had a chain. He looked at it. The tag has Fara's full name and something below it. 'Your a wonder father Fox.' Fox smiled and had tears coming out He took the chain off the tag and then got his dog tags off his neck and disconnected the chain and placed the tag through the chain and then connected it. He then placed his dog tags back around his neck. He continued to look through the boxes for about another hour before taking a breather.

Fox may have lost Fara but he has hopes that something good is going to happen soon and when it does, he hopes that he will be ready for it. He may have is two weeks to himself but he knows that he will avenge her death no matter what it takes.

Finally got this chapter done. Now that I work it won't be easy to update new chapters. As usual enjoy what I have so far, because bigger things are going to begin soon. Stay on the look out for it. Until then, take care. Signing off.
