Chapter 2

Urg, more work! Complained the lazy Falco.

Yes, Falco. More work, said General Peppy. We are receiving a weird distress signal from Venom. It is actually quite odd you see, it is from someone named Master Hand. Ring a bell?

… Hm, it does a little, but I can't really make out who it is, said Fox, the leader of the Star Fox team.

Yeah, the same goes for me, said Falco.

Well I have no clue what you two are going on about, said the vixen Krystal. C'mon boys, we better get a move on. Slippy would want us to get this job done quick and efficiently.

Slippy took a couple months off to stay with his wife, Amanda, and child, Slippy Jr., on the planet Aquas.

She's right team, let's move!

The team ran through the big Great Fox to get to their custom Arwings. Fox had the Arwing II, an upgraded version of the Arwing with a Plasma Shot. Falco had the Sky Claw, a jet-like vehicle similar to an Arwing but with the wings curved downwards and spikes on the end. Last but not least, Krystal had the Cloudrunner, a brown jet resembling the Cloudrunner species from the planet Sauria.

Fox, Falco, and Krystal all jumped into their custom Arwings to set up the launch sequence eniciated by ROB the robot. Suddenly Fox had a flashback to when Slippy would jump into the Arwing and land straight on his brainy head. Fox smiled and said, set a course to Venom, ROB. And so he did.

The team set out through the Lylat System to the toxic planet of Venom. Man, I hate that stupid so-called planet! It always gives me the chills! Said Falco.

What? You've never said that before, said Krystal with a slightly annoyed tone. Why get so worked up now?

Maybe he's always been afraid of this planet, and he's never had the courage to tell us. Is that right, Falco? Said Fox teasing Falco.

G-get lost you two! Screamed Falco.

Hehehe! Laughed the two.

Alright, said Fox. Prepare to land.

Hm, said Krystal suspiciously, it is so quiet here, and also quite calm. Usually, whenever we come here it is for an epic battle. But now, that's not the case.

Instead of basking in the beauty of toxins, why don't we go see who sent the distress signal, huh, suggested Falco.

He's actually right for a change Krystal, said Fox. Let's go!

Fine.

As the Star Fox team continued, they noticed some strange transmissions.

Where the heck are these things coming from? Asked Fox.

Um, I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say it is coming from that giant tower there, said Falco in his 'I know everything' tone.

What, when did that get there? Asked Fox.

I don't know, said Krystal. We should go investigate.

Falco, Fox, and Krystal ran quickly over to the tower to see if they can find any clues regarding the SOS signals. That is when they saw a strange shadowy figure. He had an ominous aura around him that would give even the toughest living thing chills down their spines (if they even had a spine).

Um, excuse me, said Fox. My name is Fox McCloud, leader of the Star Fox team. And these are my partners ace pilot Falco Lombardi, and telepath Krystal. We received a distress signal from this area earlier. Was that maybe you who sent it? Asked Fox.

The shadowy figure stood there and said nothing. He then put his hand up and a dark ball of what seemed to be energy filled the palms of his hand.

Fox said, while raising up his trusty Blaster, w-what are you doing? Cut it out right now!

Yeah! We aint afraid to shoot! Said Falco also raising up his stronger but slower blaster. Krystal also held up her spell casting staff, set to shoot fireballs when desired.

The ball of black energy than got much bigger causing Fox to yell "Fire!", and so they did. The blasts, however, did nothing to the figure, or the ball of energy. In fact it got even bigger.

Oh no! Our shots aren't doing a ting to them! Said Fox with fear in his voice.

What do we do know? Asked Krystal also paralyzed with fear.

We physically fight our way through, suggested Falco who was also secretly scared.

Falco ran straight up to the shadowy figure in an attempt to punch him. As he got up to him, and tried to hit him, he instead hit a field of energy (similar to a force field) knocking back onto his backside, obviously with no success.

Ouch, moaned Falco. That didn't work…

Ya think! Yelled Fox and Krystal at the same time.

Hey! At least I'm trying to help! You two didn't have to yell at me like that! Replied Falco.

Than you shouldn't be such a bonehead! Yelled Fox back at Falco

Boys! This is no time to fight! Screamed Krystal back at the rivals.

Oblivious to what was starting to happen the two looked at the vixen than at the shadowy figure. Suddenly he shot to ball at the team, trapping them inside of it.

Ahhhhh! Screamed the three. W-what's happening! We're not being affected by gravity! Shouted Fox.

This is crazy! Yelled Falco.

Ahhhhh! Fox! Screamed Krystal for her hero.

Krystal! Yelled Fox.

A white and incredibly bright light filled the sphere. The ball was getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller until it suddenly vanished taking the famed Star Fox team with it.

Urg, uh, ………, moaned Fox. W-w-what happened. Where am I? Fox appeared in a lush, green forest with amazing scenery and beautiful plants. This place is… beautiful. This is defenently not Venom. If it's not Venom or not even Corneria, where am I?

Uf, um, F-FOX! Bellowed Krystal at the top of her lungs. Where am I? What is this place? Fox? Fox? Falco? Where are you! She yelled. Krystal appeared in a savannah. It was quite rocky and warm, not as warm as you would think. Krystal longed to see her secret love, her superior, Fox McCloud.

Uh, man where am I? How did I get here? Said Falco. Did that shadowy thing teleport me here? Urrr, man! He's lucky I was holding back! But more importantly, it seems I'm not in Kansas anymore! Falco appeared in a cold mountain range with pretty much no food or life at all. Oh, sure, I get teleported to the cold mountains when Fox and Krystal probably got teleported to a nice, warm hot tub in a lush forest next to a big lake with plenty of tasty fish to eat. *Blows* Man, just my luck.

Was this one better than my last one? Please R&R. No Flames. All rights owned by Nintendo. I own the shadowy figure and that's it! Stay tuned for Chapter 3! Thank you very much!
