Fox Mccloud

This is great. I would have never imagined that this could be possible. I thought to myself as I looked at the 3 other life giving planets and the life giving moon through the great fox III hologram.

"Hey slippy, how do you think this could happen? You know so many life giving planets and the life giving moon?" krystal asked slippy.

"It shouldn't happen, something made those the way they are. Some of them shouldn't be able to keep that atmosphere that they have, and the one closest to the sun should be a hot wasteland." came slippy's a bit surprised voice.

"Hey rob, when should we be at this odd system?" I asked rob.

"We should arrive at the system in about 5 minutes and 23 seconds." rob answered me in his robotic voice. About 5 minutes. Then we need to start getting ready to go down. I thought to myself.

"Ok, we need to get ready, so let's get any gear that we may need and get into the arwings. Slippy that includes you." I told everyone. "Rob, is the atmosphere of all of those planets breathable?" I asked rob.

"Yes, air pressure is about the same on all the planets and the moon, it is also almost the same percentage of each gas on all of them. The magnetic field seems to be the strongest at the first one and it seems that each planet or moon declines in the magnetic field as it goes farther out into the system, enough to keep the solar wind from taking the atmosphere off of the planets." rob answered me.

"What!?!? But that shouldn't be possible!" came slippy's now very surprised voice. "There is something wrong about this." slippy said only a few seconds later. I didn't need slippy to say that to know that something, was up with this system.

"Ok, we don't know if our scanners are fooling us or not, but we might as well go prepared. Let's get our weapons and..." I was cut off by rob's robotic voice.

"We are now above the atmosphere of the fourth planet." came rob's robotic voice.

"Ok we need to get ready to go down to the surf..." I was cut off again by rob.

"We are being locked on. Can not evade We are going to be shot down. Chances of survival are 34.526%. Hold onto some and your chances of survival will increase by 24.964." rob said. Just a few seconds after rob said that I felt a explosion towards the rear and alarms and red lights started flashing and the regular lights went off. I knew that the engines of the great fox III were going to fail.

"Rob, will you try to land this thing, even if you crash land it! We need to get to the surface so we don't die up here!" I told rob.

"Who would want to shot us down!? Don't they know who we are!? We should teach them not to mess with us!" Falco yelled.

"Falco, we have no idea who even shot at us!" I yelled at falco

"Dad, what is going on!?" My 18 year old son marcus mccloud asked me. I looked over to where he was standing. Marcus was sleeping when everyone else was at the bridge.

"Marcus grab onto something and hold on! We are making a crash landing we were shot down!" I told marcus starting to panic a little bit. The ship started to shake as it hit the atmosphere.

As marcus grabbed and held onto something that would be jarred lose by the impact he asked me, "Who shot us down!?"

"I have no idea marcus! But we are going dow..." I was cut off by rob again.

"Impact in 10 seconds." came rob's still calm robotic voice.

"Everyone hold on!" I screamed. Then I felt the impact of the great fox III crashing into the ground and I blacked out.

Authors notes

Ok people, I will try to keep out all the cussing and I will try not to make this story as gory as my other story, though if needed then I will raise the rating.
