Katina

In the Lylat System, on the planet Katina, a battle waged in the air. In the sky a small team of mercenaries were battling a small army of insurgents in the air in their Arwing starfighters. One mercenary in particular was a fox with orange-brown fur with his white hair cut into a crew cut and was wearing a green jumpsuit under his white grey flight jacket and a headset. He was intercepting a duo of enemy fighters. He soon had a lock on the one closet to him and shot him down. But the other bogie suddenly looped behind the mercenary and was immediately under fire. The enemy however was soon blasted away from behind by another Arwing that's piloted by a blue feathered falcon wearing an orange g suit and white flight jacket.

"Thanks, Falco!" Said the fox.

"No problem, Fox!" Replied Falco.

"Help!" Said a new voice.

Fox and Falco looked to their left and see another Arwing, this time piloted by a green bullfrog wearing a blue jumpsuit over a white flight jacket. He is also wearing a blue baseball cap. The frog was being chased and shot at by a group of enemy fighters. Fox and Falco rushed over to help their friend and shot down the frog's pursuers.

"Thanks, guys! I almost got smoked!" Said the bullfrog.

"Slippy, you will be one day if you keep this up! We can't keep babysitting you!" Yelled Falco.

"Quick being a damn jerk, Falco!" Shouted Slippy.

Suddenly Fox's radar started beeping.

"Guys, I got multiple bogies heading our way!" Yelled Fox.

Sure enough there was a large squadron of enemy fighters flying towards them. Soon a fourth Arwing formed up with the team.

"It appears they will not go down so easily." Said a female voice.

The pilot of the fourth Arwing was a female blue fox wearing a blue bodysuit and a tiara, as well as bands on her tail.

"Krystal! I was starting to worry that you were out of the fight." Said Fox.

"I'm sorry about that, Fox. I was a little preoccupied with my own targets." Replied Krystal.

"Let's finish this!" Shouted Fox as the team flew towards the enemy squadron.

The enemy opened fire on the mercenaries.

"Do a barrel roll!" Fox commanded.

The team did a roll which deflected the incoming laser shots. Fox shot three of the fighters when they were flying towards him trying to blast him head on.

"Targets down." Said Fox.

Falco was chasing five fighters. He used multi lock to lock on to all five and shot them down.

"Hell yeah! Eat that scum!" Falco yelled triumphantly with his fist raised.

Slippy managed to destroy six enemies by launching a smart bomb at them.

"Multiple enemies obliterated!" Slippy said.

Krystal was chasing five fighters. They suddenly began looping behind her, but Krystal anticipated this and looped back further behind the enemies as soon as they formed up. The blue vixen then opened fire with her ships cannons and destroyed them.

"Fighters neutralized." Reported Krystal.

"All enemies eliminated, mission complete!" Announced Fox.

"Fox, I've sensed something coming from the sky, five incoming unknown crafts!" Warned Krystal.

"She's right, five bogies of unknown type about are entering Katina's atmosphere and are about to land near our position!" Said Slippy as he read his radar.

The mercenaries looked up and sure enough, five space crafts appeared and began descending rapidly onto the surface below. They appeared to be large metallic pods. They each crashed onto the rusty brown surface below.

"Guys, their energy signatures and technologies aren't like anything I've seen before." Slippy said.

"Slippy is right boys. I sense something very strange about these intruders, I don't think they are here to invade. It's more like they are running." Said Krystal as she pressed her fingers into her temple with her eyes closed.

"Well these guys sure aren't using the same technology as the insurgents, that much I know. What do you think Fox?" Asked Falco.

"I think we should investigate these newcomers. Land near them but stay cautious." Fox ordered.

"Copy that." The team replied.

The arwings landed less than a mile where the pods landed and the team got out of their vehicles and drew their blasters before proceeding to the mysterious spacecrafts. The pods landed a few meters apart from each other.

"One life form in each pod. And all are still alive." Said Slippy.

Just then, the pods began to open and large metal hands began crawling out of the hatches. The mercenaries raised their blasters just in case. Giant robots with bright blue eyes emerge from the pods. Three of them were red and white in color, while one of them was dark blue and red and the last was silver and red. The robots looked down at the mercenaries and the silver and red machine raised his hands.

"We come in peace. We mean no harm." Announced the red and silver robot.

"He's telling the truth." Said Krystal.

The mercenaries put down their weapons.

"Who are you? What are you?" Asked Fox.

"I am Silverbolt, and this is my team of Aerialbots, Skydive, Air Raid, Slingshot, and Fireflight." Explained Silverbolt.

"I am Fox Mccloud, and this is Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad, and Krystal. We're Star Fox." Fox said.

"Nice to meet you, Fox Mccloud." Replied Silverbolt.

"Let's finish our talk back at our mother ship, the Great Fox." Fox said.

"Agreed." Said Silverbolt.

"Me too. I'm in need of a good rest after that mission." Said an exhausted Falco as Star Fox walked back to their Arwings.

"Hey you bots need transportation?" Fox asked.

"That won't be necessary." Silverbolt said as he and the rest of the Aerialbots did something that shocked the Star Fox team.

The robots mechanically shifted their arms, legs and heads around their bodies until they looked more like jets and star fighters.

"Did those guys just turn into star fighters!?" Asked a surprised Falco.

"They sure did, incredible." Said Slippy.

"These beings are very unique indeed." Krystal said.

"Guys, we're gonna be asking a lot of questions." Announced Fox as Star Fox climbed into their ships and took off towards the Great Fox high above, with the Aerialbots following.

One of the Aerialbots, who's jet form is black in color, was a little concerned about something.

"Silverbolt, I'm a bit worried." Said the black jet.

"About what, Air Raid?" Asked Silverbolt.

"About the others, especially Optimus. What if they didn't make it?" Answered a scared Air Raid.

"I'm positive they made it to the designated planet to establish our new headquarters. With Optimus with the rest of the Autobots in the Ark, I'm sure they'll be just fine." Replied Silverbolt.

"Another thing that's bugging me, why this planet? Why did Optimus send us here out of all worlds in the Lylat System?" Asked Air Raid.

"Beats me, though something tells me it's for a very good reason." Said Silverbolt.

And there you have it. The Aerialbots have met Star Fox. And right after the heroic mercenaries won a battle! But what about Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots? Did they truly make it to their destination? Stay tuned to find out!
