Back on planet Venom everything was hectic. After the attack Andrew was immidetly rushed to the Hospital where he was treated for his wounds. His soldiers waited all around to hear the news of their leader. But it all turned out alright for them.

Andrew awoke, two hours after being shot. He groaned softly as he opened his eyes to see the white ceiling of the hospital. Then he sat up to see his soldiers around him.

"Soldiers." He said sitting up." What's happened?"

"You were shot sir." Told one.

"Shot?" asked Andrew." Impossible I don't recall."

"You were sir."

"No." said Andrew as he waved his arm threw the air." I was giving a speech and then I." Then he brought his hand down to his chest and looked down at what he saw there.

On his chest were multiple bandages, stained with red blood. Andrew put his hand over the bandages and then looked up at his soldiers.

"Did we catch the one responsible?" he asked.

"No sir." Replied a soldier." We were too busy in rushing you here."

"It matters not." Said Andrew. Then he turned and slid off the bed rising to his feet." I know who's done it."

"Who sir?"

"Fox McCloud who else!" yelled Andrew." He killed my Uncle and now he plans to kill me, BUT." He exclaimed as he turned and raised this hand on the air." He made one fatal flaw and that was not waiting to see if I was truly dead."

"So what now sir?"

"Before he can conquer the lylat system I shall have my revenge. Not only for myself but for my uncle." Then Andrew turned and walked away, grabbing his jacket which rested on a chair as he left.

"But sir." Said one soldier as the group followed." Where will we go."

"I am too noble to participate in the capture of Fox McCloud."

"But sir weren't you once part of the Star Wo-"

"ENOUGH!" bellowed Andrew as he turned around and struck the soldier." One more word and I'll have you shot on sight." Then Andrew turned and continued to walk away." As I was saying he said back in his regular tone." We shall consult a professional on this, an old friend."

Meanwhile at a local bar in Corneria.

The Star Fox team sat around a table laughing and drinking together. Fox and Falco raised their glasses and smacked them together, then the two ducked their heads back and guzzled it all down. Then when they sat back up they looked at each other and laughed.

Krystal and Slippy watched on as the two appeared to be having the time of their lives. Watching the two of them together it was clear how long they'd been friends and how long they'd known each other. Falco's sly and witty comments only got worse when he got drunk but Fox always seemed to tolerate it.

Looking up at the clock Krystal noticed the time, it was about midnight. So then she stretched herself out and then stood up.

"Where are you going?" asked Fox as he saw her get up.

"It's getting late." She replied." I'm going to go turn in."

"Hold up." Said Fox." I'll go with you." A sudden surprised looked hit Falco's face.

"Hold up." Said Falco stopping him." Don't tell me you're going to."

"She's got a point Falco." Said Fox looking back to him casually." It's getting late so we'll head in for the night."

"But the nights still young." Replied Falco." And we're just getting started."

"Another time Falco." Said Fox. Then he turned taking Krystal under his arm and the two began walking away. Falco watched them go with a sense of hurt in his eyes.

"I think I'll be going to." Said Slippy. Then he moved out of his seat and began walking off as well. And then Falco was left alone.

With a heavy sigh he rose to his feet and made his way over to the bar. He leaned over the counter and pointed to the bartender saying " Heineken." Then Falco stood back hanging his head to the ground. But then suddenly his melancholy was broken by a woman's voice shouting his name.

"Falco!" he heard it say. He recognized it almost immediately. "Falco Lombardi."

"Oh no." he groaned. Then before he knew it something was latched around him. He looked down to see a pink cat with her arms around his torso. The cat leaned her head up and looked him in the eye. He looked down at her in somewhat of an annoyed manner while she looked up at him dreamingly.

"It's so good to see you again." She said as she nuzzled her face in his chest and squeezed him tighter causing him to let out a slight groan.

Then at that moment the bartender set down his drink. So Falco pushed the cat off him and turned to his drink. He picked it up and brought it to his lips. Out of the corner of his eye he could see she was still there, and had in fact taken a seat next to him.

"Do you want something?" he asked.

"Is that anyway to greet an old friend?" she asked in a playfully dramatic voice." After this long time of not seeing each other."

"Oh and it wasn't long enough Katt." He replied as he finally turned and faced her. Then for several moments they stayed like that looking at each other. Katt with a pleasant smile and Falco with a comedic scowl.

"So do you want something?" asked Falco turning away from her and back to his drink.

"A few things." She said. Then she brought her hand over and rested it on top of his." How about starting with a drink?" Falco looked down at her hand on his hand then to her with a raised brow.

"Don't think so." He said taking a sip of his.

"Why not." Pouted Katt as she waved her arms around.

"Because I'm an asshole." Replied Falco. Then he turned and rested his back along the counter of the bar. Katt in turn did the same.

"That you are." She said. Falco took another sip of his drink. He paid her no attention as she turned and looked him over." You know." She said." There's something different about you." Falco turned and sniffed his armpit.

"I put on deodorant today." He said after doing so.

"Charming." Said Katt." But it's something else."

"My natural good looks, not wait I've always had those."

"I've got it." Said Katt with a snap of her fingers." You're here without Fox." Falco's face suddenly saddened once more." It's strange I think this is the only time I've seen you two apart."

"How very observant of you." Grumbled Falco suddenly reminded of his loneliness. Then he turned and began to leave.

"I'm sorry." Said Katt with concern in her voice and reached out and grabbed his arm stopping him." Did I offend you?" Falco turned and faced her.

"And as for you and I." he said." It never would have worked out between us." Then he slid his arm out of her grasp and then turned and left. Katt however did not follow and let him go.

Meanwhile on some far off distant planet Andrew found himself at a bar of his own.

He pushed open the door and with his guards at his side ventured inside. Looking around he saw all sorts of low scum type of people, just the kind he was looking for.

"Sir." Said one of his guards as he leaned in close." What exactly are we looking for here?"

"Not what." Said Andrew." Whom." Then he continued to walk forward as his confused guards followed.

It was long before Andrew found who he was looking for. He was back in a private booth surrounded in piles of empty plates and glasses. With a sly smirk on his face Andrew approached the figure from behind.

As he got close it turned out to be a pig, and currently he had his face buried in a plate of pizza.

"Pigma." Said Andrew to him. The pig did nothing but continue to eat so Andrew spoke again." Pigma."

"If you've got my nachos just set 'em down." Said Pigma.

"I'm not here for Nachos." Replied Andrew.

"Then why are you wasting my-" said Pigma as he turned and faced Andrew, stopping once he got a good look at him. He was truly a slob with his portliness and his face covered in grease." Well well Andrew." He said with a chuckle in his voice." What brings you here?"

"Business." Said Andrew as he walked past the pig and took the seat across from him. Then he crossed his legs and looked his old teammate over. He truly was a disgusting sight.

Pigma sat back, causing his gut to poke over the table." You said something about business." He said with a snort.

"That's right." Said Andrew. Pigma turned around to see Andrew's guards come and stand over them." I need something done that requires a man of your skill set."

"Skill set?" repeated Pigma as he looked the guards over." So what's the job?"

"I need you to capture Fox McCloud and bring him to me." Said Andrew.

"Fox McCloud." Said Pigma somewhat shocked." James' kid."

"The same."

"What you want revenge for you poor old uncle?" asked Pigma in a mocking tone.

"Do not speak ill of my uncle." Said Andrew as he slammed down on the table and pointed a long finger at the pig, however Pigma was unimpressed.

"Ba." He said blowing off his comment." I'm looking out for me, so how much are you willing to pay for a job like this?"

"Five thousand." Told Andrew. But his answer only made Pigma burst out laughing." Is something funny?" he asked trying to retain his serious manner without getting angry.

"For a job like this how about fifty thousand." Told Pigma.

"How about five thousand." Said Andrew with a snap of his fingers, which caused his guards to move in on Pigma." And you get to live." But Pigma only chuckled again.

"I'll make you the same offer." Said Pigma. Then he pulled his hand out from under the table to reveal his pistol, and he pointed it at Andrew's face. The guards stood over him but Pigma was not affected. Andrew however was extremely intimidated. Pigma pulled the hammer on his gun back." Fifty thousand or no deal." Spoke Pigma next.

"You always were a greedy bastard Pigma." Said Andrew nervously as he sat there." Alright fifty thousand."

"Good boy." Said Pigma then he pulled his gun back, causing the guards to loosen up as well." Now after I capture him, what next?"

"Bring him to Planet Venom." Told Andrew." I and your money will be waiting there."

"Very well." Said Pigma." I took the father, now I'll take the son."
