Chapter 3


One hour after Panther's death.

R.O.B. 65 went into Marcus's study.

"65-MODEL 13 REQUESTS... ENTRANCE ACCESS..."

"Access granted." said Marcus.

R.O.B. 65 came in.

"MESSAGE FROM GENERAL HARE..." said R.O.B. 65.

"Play back message from Gereal Hare." said Marcus.

Right then, Peppy Hare appeared in hologram and spoke.

"Congratulations, Star Fox 2. Because of you, we have defeated Majella Peregrine. However, the war is not yet over. There are bases of enemy teams on Corneria. They have plans to begin yet another battle in the innocent Corneria cities."

"Pause." said Marcus.

"PAUSING..." R.O.B. 65 said.

"List message receivers." said Marcus.

"LISTING MESSAGE RECEIVERS..." R.O.B. 65 said. "MCCLOUD, MARCUS..."

"Expand list." said Marcus.

"EXPANDING LIST..." said R.O.B. 65. "CHOOSE PERSON MESSAGE IS SENT TO..."

"Hare, Lulu."

"SENDING TO HARE, LULU..."

"Send to Toad, Skippy."

"SENDING TO TOAD, SKIPPY..."

"Send to Lombardi, Falco."

"SENDING TO LOMBARDI, FALCO..."

"Send to O'Donnell, Wolf."

"SENDING TO O'DONNELL, WOLF..."

"Send to Powalski, Leon."

"SENDING TO POWALSKI, LEON..."

"Complete list."

"COMPLETING LIST..."

"Record."

"RECORDING..." said R.O.B. 65. "SPEAK NOW..."

"I report a fatality, General Hare." said Marcus. "It brings me much displeasure to tell you that Pather Caroso was killed in action when Majella's ship exploded one hour ago. I shall gather up my team and the remainder of Star Wolf and complete the new assignment. Stop."

"STOPPING..."

"Send."

"SENDING TO... WHO..."

"Send to General Hare."

"SENDING TO GENERAL HARE..."

Marcus then went to Krystal's room.

"Hey, Marcus." said Krystal.

"Mom, I need you to come with me to Corneria." said Marcus. "I can't leave you alone on this ship and trust people not to tresspass onto the ship."

"You're the boss, captain." said Krystal.

So, Star Fox 2 and the remainder of Star Wolf began their way out to Corneria, but Marcus and Krystal's ship was shot down by another ship.

"NOOOOOOOO!" cried Skippy.

Though the other Star Fox 2 members believed Marcus and Krystal dead, they were only sent uncontrollably toward Sauria.

"We need to jump at the same time when I say jump." said Marcus. "Get in front and be ready to press the button. The only parachute's on my back."

Right as soon as they saw land...

"Press and jump!" Marcus said.

So, the two jumped and Marcus held on to his mother as they parachuted down. The Arwing III crashes and explodes before they reach the ground.

Upon reaching ground, they took a few steps and the ground collapsed and they fell far onto more ground, seemingly to be dead, but...

...WILL THEY BE? FIND OUT IN CHAPTER 4
