At that moment Katt flew overhead in her ship while Falco and Krystal followed in their arwings.

"Down there." Said Katt over the radio. The three looked down to see a burned ship in the ground and it shocked Falco and Krystal.

"Well that explains Pigma." Said Krystal." But where's Fox?"

"Andrew's base is just over the hill." Said Falco." Let's land and continued on foot." The three landed and then exited their ships, afterwards they headed up into the mountains not too far from where Fox and Falco where when they shot Andrew.

The three perched themselves in the rocks and looked out into the distance, observing Andrew's base.

"Alright." Said Krystal." We're here but where's Fox." Katt looked threw her binoculars and looked at Andrew's base.

"Katt." Said Falco." If your lying-" As he spoke Katt found Fox. It was a faint image but she could see him through the windows on the second floor.

"Here." Said Katt as she shoved the binoculars into Falco's hands. Then she wrapped her arm around him and pointed to the building." Second floor third window." Falco looked to the spot she said and then he saw for himself.

Fox was being transported by three soldiers into a large open room, they brought him into the room and then shut the door behind them.

"No." said Falco.

"What is it?" asked Krystal." What do you see?"

"I told you I wasn't lying." Said Katt.

Meanwhile with Fox.

The soldiers took him off and into the room, once there he stood before Andrew. Andrew stood in front of a roaring fire but when Fox came in he turned and faced him.

With a sadistic smile on his face Andrew turned and faced Fox." Good." He chuckled." You've brought him." Fox eyes gave Andrew a glare as the two looked each other over. Once again bound and gagged Fox could say nothing." Lay him out over there."

The soldiers turned and dragged Fox over, it was the first time he noticed it. It was a bed spring with shackles along it. So the soldiers laid him out over it, spreading his arms and legs and bounding him.

Then Andrew walked up and stood before the restrained Fox." Leave us." He ordered his men, and they quickly did so." So McCloud." Said Andrew as he crossed his arms behind his back and began to walk over to Fox." Now it's just you and I." He now stood before Fox. Then he reached up and grabbed the rag that gagged him, and then he lifted it off Fox's head." This of course won't be necessary."

"So what do you plan to do with me then?" asked Fox ever so casually. Andrew turned and walked away from him and over to the fireplace.

Andrew had always fancied himself a gentleman but deep down inside he was like a raging animal with a piece of meat.

"Oh." Said Andrew as he grabbed the fire iron and placed it in the fire." I'm just going to have a little fun that's all. You've done wrong by me on so many accounts McCloud." He began to twirl and spin the fire iron to different parts of the fire." You've killed my Uncle and you tried to kill me." Then he lifted the fire iron out of the fire and looked at the shining red tip." And I don't intend for you to go unpunished." Then he turned and walked back to Fox wielding the smoking tool in his hand." And I'm going to enjoy listening to you scream."

"You can't keep me here forever." Said Fox.

"No." replied Andrew." I'll keep you as long as I need you. Then after I've made you suffer enough you'll die a cold death."Then he lifted it up and stabbed Fox in his stomach.

In reply Fox let out a roaring scream. The scream was so loud it traveled all around and into the mountains, where the trio could hear it.

"What was that?" asked Katt." Do you think it was Fox?"

"It defiantly was I know, I know it." Said Krystal.

"Let's hurry." Said Falco as he moved back to his ship." We have to help him." Krystal and Katt quickly followed after him.

"Falco." Said Krystal." What do you have in mind?"

"I'll explain on the way." Said Falco as he jumped into his arwing. Katt and Krystal quickly followed.

Meanwhile Fox kept on screaming as Andrew continued to poke him again and again in his torso with the fire iron. Then Andrew retracted the fire iron and Fox lay there with his head hung low panting.

"Feel the burn McCloud?" he asked with a smile.

All things considered this was a bad situation for Fox and he knew it, but it could always be worst. Andrew could have gone after one of his loved ones so all things considered he'd choose this fate for himself than for anyone else. So Fox lifted his head and looked up at Andrew.

"Is that all you got?" he asked in between panted breaths. Then he gave a casual smile. Andrew's sadistic look melted away into sheer confusion and then to boiled anger.

"Oh so you like pain?" asked Andrew. Then he turned and tossed the fire iron down. Then he walked over and stood by his desk." Then try this." He reached down and grabbed a small nob by the side of his desk. Then he clicked it one notch to the right.

Fox looked around at the bedframe he was on as it began to sparkle and crackle. Then suddenly a sharp pain began to jolt all throughout his body. Fox let out a scream as he continuously was electrocuted. Fox let out more screams as Andrew kept on clicking the nob up a notch, much to his enjoyment.

Meanwhile Falco, Katt, and Krystal had returned to Great Fox and had since told Peppy and Slippy of what had happened.

"So Fox had been captured by Andrew." Said Peppy." What a strange twist of fate."

"What should we do Peppy?" asked Falco." There's gotta be something we can do." Peppy sat back and ran his hand along his chin in thought.

"There's very little we can do." He replied." There's two few of us. Fighting our way in isn't much of an option and the fortress is to well-guarded to risk sneaking in."

"But we have to try something." said Falco." Anything."

"Where's all this hostility coming from?" asked Katt.

"Fox and I have been friends our whole lives." Said Falco turning to her." I cannot fail him to abandon him now, with no hope."

"And I will not either." Added Krystal." So we msut do something."

"But you heard Peppy." Said Slippy." We can't fight our way in or sneak in."

"That's where we come in." said a deep voice. Everyone turned to see Wolf O' Donnell and the Star Wolf team step into the light.

"Star Wolf!" exclaimed Krystal.

"Hold on." Said Wolf." We're not here to fight, we're here to help." Falco was about to make an angry comment but Peppy quickly silenced him.

"Help, what kind of help?" asked Peppy.

"As you said." Began Wolf as he and his men ventured deeper into the room." Fox is kidnapped so we've got to go save him."

"Why so you can kill him afterwards?" asked Krystal standing before Wolf.

"Not now." Said Wolf.

"Then what's in it for you?" asked Falco.

"Like I said." Continued Wolf." I'll being the one to bring Fox down."

"What about Andrew?" asked Falco." What's your scheme with him?"

"Don't worry bird." Said Leon. "We've got our own reasons for wanting him dead."

"How so?" asked Katt.

"You ever hear 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'?" asked Panther.

"So what's your plan then?" asked Peppy.

"You." Said Wolf pointing to Falco." Will infiltrate the base and get Fox while we." He said pointing to Leon, Panther, and himself." Will cause a distraction outside."

"You think you can get all the soldiers out there?" asked Falco.

"Let us worry about that." Said Panther.

"Just make sure you tell Fox when you get him, I'm coming for him." Said Wolf.

"Then we'd best get ready." Said Falco. Then he began to walk off, but then he was suddenly stopped by Katt.

"I'm going with you." She said as she put her hand on his shoulder.

"I'd rather you didn't." Falco replied as he pushed her hand off him." It's going to be dangerous."

"I'm not letting you go in there alone." She said. Falco rolled his eyes at her.

"Nor am I." said Krystal as she came up next to Falco." Whoever is saving Fox, I'll be one of them." Falco looked at both of them and shook his head.

"Women." He muttered.
