Fox remembered the voice instantly but he couldn't begin to prepare himself for what he was about to see. Fox turned toward the direction of the voice, from the darkness out step the general, General Scales but different. The general was covered in purple and bluish veins his left arm looked like the source of the infection and it reached up to his left eye giving it a dark purple covering but left the right eye untouched. The general towered over Fox in his armor.

"You were a fool to come here, to interfere, it was you who cost me everything, it was you who cost me my army, and my men lost faith in me after my defeat at your hands and rebelled. They exiled me to Dragon Rock there I lived contemplating my revenge till the aparoids attacked Sauria. I pledged my allegiance to their queen and in return they gave me this infection, this power is now more than enough to DESTROY YOU AND YOUR PITIFUL STAR FOX TEAM!" Scales charged Fox,

Fox dodged to his left, aimed and fired three shots, two in the chest and one in the head. Scales fell to the ground with a sick thud. Fox cringed at the sight of crimson purple blood that oozed out. Assuming that Scales was dead he turned his attention to the console. It looked too complicated so he tried to contact Peppy.

"Peppy, I'm at the generator's console what do I do now." Fox didn't get a response "must be to deep underground" Fox thought, he didn't have time to guess so he fired a couple of shots into the console "that should take care of it" Fox turned to see General Scales body but only saw a pool of crimson blood.

"ha aha ha ha ha, did you think you could simply defeat me that easily Fox? You will never make it of this planet alive!" the evil general laughed.

Fox headed toward the exit and started his ascent back to the surface leaving the laughter of the general behind him. Peppy's voice came over the com link in disrupt burst "Fox we hav big problem eaded your way" Fox exited the complex just in time to see Krystal fly over head.

"Fox, make your way to your arwing there's a horde of aparoids heading toward your position. I'll cover you."

Fox ran toward his arwing and was already over the first hill when he turned to see the horde overwhelm the complex like ants. He continued toward his arwing, upon arriving to the hill over looking his arwing to see that it was being guarded by two aparoids. He took out his sniper rifle and fired two shots both hitting their mark. Fox turned to see where the horde was, it was already clearing the hill he was previously on. If he was to get enough space to take off with out the horde overtaking his fighter he would have to make space. The horde was climbing the top of the hill and paused momentarily to look at Fox who was at his arwing with his Gatling gun in hand. "Come and get me." Fox taunted, the horde charged and fox unleashed a barrage of bullets each taking out line after line of aparoids but the horde were advancing on his position climbing over the fallen aparoids in an attempt to get Fox. Soon the horde reached the place where fox placed his remaining grenades. Fox couldn't help but grin when nearly the entire horde was blown apart. The remaining aparoids scattered to regroup, giving Fox the time he needed to get off the ground. He jumped in his arwing gave the horde one last look and was glad to see that they were thinking twice before attacking. He took of and regrouped with Krystal who was making a fly by.

"Fox are you ok?" Krystal asked with a concerned voice.

"yeah." Was all Fox had to say before Krystal let him have it.

"Fox that was reckless, couldn't there have been some other way?"

"Yeah, but this was a lot more fun. Let's get this mission over with."

Before they could leave a landmaster roared over the hill. The landmaster was like nothing Fox seen before it wasn't Cornerian issued and it was covered in purple veins. Scales came over the com link

"did you think I would let go so easily."
