I hope everyone is having a great time so far. All the students have returned to school and College has once again started. The University students have returned as well. Me, well I'm taking this semester off because I work at a restaurant, it would have been complicated for me at the start, but I will return to College for the Spring Semester. Here is the next part. Wish me luck.

August 12
After the terrible attack on the mall which had more then 2,000 civilians killed by Venom Forces, Corneria got additional forces by their allies. Also the U.S Army Rangers arrived as well since they were one of greatest military units in the U.S. The 13th Fleet was complete, and it had 25 ships. 3 were aircraft carries that would be out of harms way from the attack. The rest were battleships, destroyers, cruisers, frigates, and large patrol vessels. If all goes well and the attack is stopped. Black Jack would go into hiding leaving Venom for sometime. Each ship had dual .50 cal machine guns on the side. 25 mm aircraft guns on the front and on the back. .50 cal machine guns near the aircraft guns. Plus 40mm guns.
Fox returned to duty while he left his son with his Fara's parents. Fara's family agreed to watch him since he was family. Things were much more different then before but it wasn't over yet.

Near Corneria's Harbor
Fox was on board one of the fleet's ships along with Roach and Falco. They were on a cruiser and they felt that the attack was today. The fleet was on high alert and their radars were scanning up in the sky checking to see if their were any enemy air crafts coming at them. Their wasn't anything yet. Fox was thinking about his son since he turned 2 years old a couple of days ago. He has grown so much and he looks more like his father each day. With things in a tight situation Fox has loose ends to tie up still.
Harbor
Krystal was looking out at the fleet and she could see all the ships that were spread around the ocean. She was searching for Fox with her telepath abilities but wasn't getting any luck, until she found his presence on a cruiser that was very close to the harbor and she could see him. Fox doesn't even know that Krystal was in his mind right now. She looked at Fox and could see him in sand digital uniform, sand tactical boots and a tan body armor. She picked up Falco and Roach as well. They were wearing the same thing and she spoke to Fox if he was with her right now. "Be careful Fox." She continued to look on from the harbor.
Cruiser Hammer Head
Roach, Fox, and Falco were all set and ready. They had belts of M249 SAW ammo around their necks and were armed with M249 SAWs. Roach then got a contact by Peppy and he spoke. "Were picking up enemy air crafts coming in. It's Venom, more then 350 of them coming in. Get ready." The ships alarms started to go off and every single personal was ready to go. The three operatives ran to the .50 cal turrets and took up positions with them. Roach contacted the fleet. "All ships be advised. Black Jack's air attack is here and is on route to us as we speak. Be ready for anything that can happen. Work together and stay alive. We have big fight coming our ready don't give up."
The enemy aircrafts flew closer but they didn't know that they were fallen into the fleet's trap. Venom air crafts had bombers, water torpedoes, and fighters. As they got closer, the guns on the ships opened fire and they were taking down the attackers very fast.
Fox opened fire on one of the enemy air crafts taking it down. More were on the way but the air was filled with 25mm rounds whizzing by and hitting any air craft and destroying it with a few hits. Roach and Falco were engaging fighters that were trying to attack the ship's crew. The attack still continued on and it showed no signs of stopping for a while. Venom's air attack was beginning to fall apart. They were not getting any hits to the fleet at all. Roach took out three more enemy arwings and hit another one that had a bomb on it. The bomb exploded taking out two other arwings that were flying near it, this was becoming a terrible blow to Venom. Roach got off the turret and asked on of the crew to take his place and he told Fox and Falco to keep engaging air crafts while he makes a run to the other side and see how it's progress is going. They nod and Roach picked up his M249 SAW and ran off.
Roach was making a run for the other side of the cruiser and encountered a couple of recruit shipmates hiding for cover and he ran up to them and shouted out. "Get up, get up you cowards! Get out their fight!" They all got up and ran up to the turrets and started to fight along with their brothers in arms. Roach contacted Fox saying that he'll need him when he gives him another call. As Roach reached the other side of the ship he saw more enemy arwings coming at them and notified the fleet. "All ships be advised more enemy air crafts are on route to our location. This has to be the last assault that they have. Hit them with everything you got." Roach contacted Fox to come assist him on the other side. It took him a little bit of time to reach the other side and assist his Commanding Officer taking down any arwing that flew past their sector.
3 hours later
The remaining Venom survivors left the city realizing that they were no match for the 13th fleet. Venom lost almost all of it's best fighters in this attack leaving only 70 of their arwings left. Black Jack wasn't going to be pleased for this at all. Once he gets word of this failure he will likely go into hiding from another place. He's likely not going to stay in Venom for long.
Their were no casualties on Corneria's side at least. For now everything was quite and Fox looked on. He looked at Roach who was looking over the city and sees that his CO is a great person. Fox spoke to him. "I'm glad that your a great friend sir." Roach responded. "It's not going to be about that always Fox, but yeah I'm glad as well. We still have a lot more to do. This war is not over. Not by a long shot." Fox nodded and knows that they have a much more bigger assignment that is coming very soon.
Venom
Black Jack was enraged that his attack failed. He shouted out. "How can this happen! I had it perfectly planned!" He didn't know that Panther got this info and gave it to TF 221 and they stopped his attack. He realized that he was vulnerable to being killed by them and he knows that he has to go into hiding. He made a safe house that used to be a school campus at Katina in the mountains where it's the only green place around that he can use to hide for the time being. He knows that they would come to the location and try and take him down. He started to set up another plan just in case if their going to find him at Katina. He notified his other followers and some would join him to protect their leader. He gathered his things from his Command Center and headed out.
Corneria Harbor
Hammer Head returned to port to refuel and rearm and so did the rest of the fleet. This was a success for Corneria to hold off the attack at their home planet but it was far from over. As Roach, Fox, and Falco got off the boat they arrived at one of the benches and sat down they talked for a bit since their wasn't much to do. After that Falco left the area saying that he wanted to head home to rest for now. Fox and Roach were still looking at the ocean until Fox felt a paper underneath the seat and he looked it. The paper was fold up and it had his name on it. He opened it up and it read. 'Hi Fox. I'm sure your wondering who this is. I know that you are part of a Counter Terrorist Unit and I see that you have a much more different attitude then before. I wanted to say that I'm sorry for leaving you when I joined Star Wolf. I regret hurting you and I wish that I can take it all back. I know as well that you have a son and I'm a bit jealous, but I'm also sorry that Fara is gone. She was a good person and I hope that you can forgive me. I still love you Fox. When the time comes I'll come see you. Leave a note on the bench if you want so that I can read it when I come by tonight. Krystal.' Fox was shocked in what it read he knew that this was his only shot to leaver her a message since she would come by the bench again tonight. He had a piece of paper on him and a pen on him and began to write down what he wanted Krystal to read.
After completing his message for Krystal he taped underneath the bench and both he and Roach left the area. They still had work to do and they had to find Black Jack as well. They both left the harbor and returned to HQ to give the details on the attack.
20:21 hrs
Corneria Harbor
It was late at night but, Krystal arrived at the bench and got the note that Fox left for her. She opened it up and read it. After reading it she knows that Fox was sorry as well for kicking her off the team. He will wait until the time is right. Krystal knows what she will do, but she is going to follow Fox for a little while more to see how he's doing.

Titan Safe House
Fox, Falco, and Roach along with other operatives were making plans since they were searching for Black Jack. Roach got word that a Spec. Ops. Unit known as Delta Force was coming to assist them only two Delta operatives would accompany them. Delta Force was one of the highest Special Operating Units every, a bit more better then the Rangers. The whereabouts of Black Jack were unknown still and it was frustrating work to find him. Sooner or later they will get a location on where he could be hiding now. Intel says that he left Venom and is not their right now. He knows that his attack failed when he tried to take down the fleet.
A recon drone six days ago spotted Venom ships leaving Venom and tracked how far they left the planet. It couldn't follow them at all. So this was going to be hard for them to make the search. Roach spoke. "I'm sending word to our allies on where Black Jack could have gone. If they have seen his ships they must know where he could of gone." He left the room while the others were checking up on maps and other planets that Black Jack could have gone.
The search still continued on and it was very tough for Fox and the others.

Titan Safe House
Roach had valuable intel that needed to be told to his team and he needed to tell them immediately. He got a location on where Black Jack was at and it was important. Fox, Falco and two others arrived and so did the two delta operatives. He got the info on the wall and the images as well and began to speak. "As you all know we have been searching for our High Value Target, Black Jack. He has been found at Katina, in the mountains. It was confirmed back then that Katina used to populate people before it became an outpost in the desert. In the mountains of Katina it was forest terrain, and some how it's still around today. A couple of our allies spotted Venom ships that were on route to Katina and a UAV Recon drone found an abandoned school. The school has multiple barracks and Black Jack must be using it for a safe house. It's confirmed that he is their and we have an opportunity to try and take him down. Their are multiple ways that we can do this to try and take him down." They began to plan out what they were going to do once they head for Katina and it was really tough in knowing what they were going to do.
2 hours later
It took awhile but they had a plan ready to use when they were ready to do the mission later on. They were going to need air support for it and extraction. If all goes well they would have a chance to do an early invasion on Venom and try to take the capital away from Black Jack's grasp.
The operatives left the room while Roach continued to look at the intel and seeing that this could be their only chance to try and take down what's left of Andross' men. Once they go to Katina, they can hope that peace will soon return to all of the Lylat System. For what they have now right now. It was a low chance that they would get him. For now they couldn't attack yet. Roach needed to get air support plus extraction and it could be awhile before they could do the mission but word was that they would let them do the mission in 3 months. They needed to train for this. Fox and his close friend Falco were chatting having a good time for now but they knew that this was a dangerous mission that could cost them their lives, they were nervous. At least they were heroes of the Lylat System.
For now they had to get ready for it. It was going to be a long three months.

24 hours before Operation Black Jack
Corneria
Task Force 221 Training Grounds
Fox, Falco, Roach, the two operatives, and the delta operatives were finishing up their training since tomorrow they were going to Katina to do the mission. Roach got air support, an AC-130 will be helping them out. The AC-130 has 25mm mini gun explosive rounds, 40mm gun, and 105mm gun. The 105 round was the biggest round and had a decent explosion radius and it can be your worst nightmare. Extraction would be an Osprey that will get them out after they go past the forest tree line. They had everything ready to go and they were ready to go to Katina.
After finishing up the training they returned to barracks to get clean and get into their combat uniform.
Their ship was waiting for them since they had to take the gear that they only need plus their weapons and ammo even their body armor.
They got everything that they need and headed towards the ship and got inside and they flew off heading to Katina. They wouldn't get their until the end of the day.
Katina Outpost/Safe House 21:23 hrs
They arrived at the safe house and settled in for now since they had a little bit of time before they needed to get some rest before the early morning. The got to their rooms and then placed their gear and things on their tables before returning to the other room and Roach was their and he spoke. "We have little time for this so I'll make this quick. We know where were going to be once be begin Operation Black Jack. The Recon Drone spotted the enemy presence and it changes every day so tomorrow will be our opportunity. You know where we are assigned and you know what to do. We've trained for this and well be ready for it." They nodded and Roach dismissed them and they all went to their rooms for some sleep. Fox was looking at the ceiling for a bit while he was lying down trying to get some sleep. He mind was thinking of something else mostly about back then before he became a Spec. Ops. Operative. The good old times when Krystal was around before he kicked her off the team. He remembers nearly everything before that vary day that he regrets doing. He kicked Krystal off the team for her safety and she was in tears. He didn't mean to hurt her at all, he thought that she would understand what he was trying to do, but it looked like she thought that it was something else. Then she was gone. Fox wasn't happy about it and he tried everything to get her back but all failed. He wasn't himself for a while until Roach came in and helped him out. Now he sees that he has a new life and a second chance to change what ever he did. Krystal was looking for him and she will come to him or he will go to her once they meet, but it would be some time before they meet once again. He finally falls to sleep and had a smile on his face.
(This part of the story will have a mystery at the end and it will be told on the next chapter or so.)
January 8, 07:30 hrs
Katina mountains, Near the target area
"Operation Black Jack is ago mission is kill or capture. I repeat kill or capture." The AC-130 pilot spoke to the operatives down below and was on orbit over the abandoned school and Roach's team was in the high ground armed and ready. Roach had an M4A1 Grenadier/w Holographic secondary is his 1911.45. Fox had an M16A3 ACOG sight his secondary is the 1911.45. Falco had a G36C ACOG sight secondary is the P226. One of the operatives called 'Ozone' is a U.S Army solider transferred to the Task Force has a M4A1 Grenadier his secondary is the M9. The other operative called 'Metro' Ex-Spetsnaz now working for the Task Force is a tough soldier that they had. He had a SCAR-L Reddot sight secondary is the M9. The team had a woodland digital uniform, assault body armor, woodland helmets, tactical gloves, and tan tactical boots. They were moving through the tall grass until Roach contacted the Delta operatives and the pilot. "221 is moving to stand by positions. They all crouched down waiting for their signal to advance and on the hills not to far from the school the two delta operatives 'Nomad,' and 'Grizzly' were watching the area. They were in a multi camo uniform and assault body armor, tan boots, tan tactical gloves, and tan helmets. Nomad was looking through the binoculars while Grizzly was in a green ghille suit with a Beretta .50 cal scoped deployed checking for any targets to kill. Nomad contacted the pilot. "We count four targets patrolling the roofs of the east and west barracks." Grizzly adjusted his scope and Nomad spoke. "Targets are locked in. Delta ready to engage, over." Four hostiles on the roofs were patrolling the perimeter armed with blaster rifles. The pilot responded. "Copy Delta your free to engage." Nomad spoke to Grizzly. "Fire. Fire. Fire." Grizzly fired and hit one of the hostiles in the head and did it again on the second one. He fired again on the third but the last one was alerted and Nomad spoke. One of the nest's has been disturbed. Red Bird 2-1 your clear to engage the playground." The pilot heard this and responded. "Red Bird 2-1 is moving in light em up." The 25mm and 40mm guns fired and it took out Venom soldiers that were running through the playground. The T.V operator spoke. "Good kill, good kill." The other buildings were alerted and were all arming up. One of the buildings had it's troops firing blind and the T.V operator spoke. "Smoke that building." The gunner fired a 105mm round and it destroyed the building and taking out the hostiles the gunner spoke and contacted 221. "Ka Boom. 221 We got you covered, go have some fun." The T.V spotted the flashing beacons and they were all running to the first building. They already had a location where Black Jack is at and they were going to get him by surprise. As they approached one of the building a hostile spotted them and shouted out but was hit in the head by Fox. They stopped by the corner and Roach contacted the AC-130. "Red Bird 2-1 fire on the west barracks." The gunner responded. "You got it." 40mm rounds came down and hit the barracks destroying it. Roach took a peak around the gunner and about 5 hostiles were their and fired at him, he quickly pulled back. Ozone moved a bit to the left and fired an M203 and it hit the wall taking out all five hostiles and they all began to advance to the target building. Roach contacted the gunner. "Red Bird 2-1 give us an entrance." Another 40mm round hit the front door taking out any hostiles with it and the team moved in. They got in and got by the wall near a door and Falco pulled out a frag and pulled the pin on it and spoke. "Frag out." He threw it in and some hostiles were shouting out and the grenade went off and one flew next to them and Fox fired two rounds at him. Metro moved up and so did Fox and Metro spoke out looking to the right door. "Clear right." He saw another hostile and hit him and then another one and looked at the door way and said. "Door way, clear." The team moved up going through a hall way and it had multiple hostiles and they were clearing each room out one by one.
As they got close to the target room Falco placed a breaching charge on the wall and got out of the way. Roach notified the AC-130 and the Delta operatives. "221 has arrived." The charge went off and Roach got out a 9 banger flash bang and pulled the pin and shouted out. "9 banger." He threw it into the breach and then it went off blinding anyone that was in the room. Roach and Fox aimed their weapons and took out three hostiles and they went down. Falco checked the bodies and shot one of them and then spoke. "All clear." The other walked in and Roach contacted Actual. "221 has arrived at target, their no sign of Black Jack. I repeat, their is no sign of Black Jack." Actual responded. "Copy that 221 collect any intel you can. If he's not there, find out where he's going." Fox was looking at the wall with images and news report paper. He spoke to Roach. "Sir, you need to see this." Roach looks and Fox continued on. "He's targeting Alpha 6." Underneath a table was a charge and it was ready to go off and Roach heard it and shouted out. Bomb! Get down!" They all got down and the charge went off.
5 minutes later
The team was running heading towards the LZ at an open terrain with the Delta operatives and Roach contacted the Red Bird 2-1. "221 approaching evac point. Requesting danger close fire." Multiple hostiles were coming at them and they were in trouble. The pilot responded. "Solid copy 221, we got you covered." The gunners fired the 25mm and the 40mm guns taking out as many hostiles as they can giving them as much breathing room as possible but they were running low on fuel and they alerted the team. "221 were bingo on fuel, we can't give out any more support your on your own." Roach shouted out. "Keep moving!" Grizzly and Nomad were armed with M4A1's Reddot sight with Fore grip. Grizzly fired on the ridge to the left where more hostile were coming in. He took out one of them but another had an RPG and fired. The missle hit the dirt near Falco taking him down. He went down and then Nomad shouted out. "Covering Fire!" They all turned around returning fire on the hostiles trying to hold them back Nomad got to Falco and shouted to Ozone and he came up. The got a hold of Falco and Nomad spoke. "Pull." Their extraction chopper arrived and was landing and the team began to move back engaging hostiles still. As the Osprey landed, it lowered the hatch and the team began to get in. All seven operatives got in and two of them engaged hostiles trying to prevent them from getting close and the pilot began to close the hatch and pulled out from the area and the mission was done. Falco had a scar through his left eye down to his cheek. He was lucky that it didn't hit him in the eye. He did cough out some blood but it wasn't too sever. The mission was a success but also a failure. Black Jack wasn't their, he some how was watching from a camera that the team didn't notice at all. He tried to take them all out but it was a fail for him. Roach and Fox know that Black Jack will be coming for them and they knew that they will get him next time. The Osprey flew out of the area and returned to the Outpost. This war was far from over.
Done with this part but I still have more ideas to throw out. I got some bad news. I'm going to lose the internet, I don't know when it's going to happen. Still, I will find a way to continue to upload my stories. Take care every one and have a Happy Labor Day. Signing off.
