-1So we are seeing Fox going down a path that does not look to good. So in this chapter, we will see why this is a Batman and Star Fox crossover.
"Hmmm, whom do I get to be evil with?" I look at Falco who is at day 3232 as being a kid through a monitor.
SNAP Fox to my realm.
"You evil bastard!" Fox pointing a paw at me. I grab his leash.
"Say it," Looks at his tags. "Snuggles, or else!"
"What evil can you do that hasn't been done to me on that hellhole?"
"Well looking at your chart, it says you haven't been nurtured," An evil grin slowly appears on my lips. "Well Snuggles, what is your choice?"
"Fine," Snuggles sighs. "He might be an evil bastard with too much time on his paws, but he does not own anyone from Star Fox or the DC universe."
"Good boy."
"And he is not smarter than a Canadian fifth grader."
"HEY!"
"What about you're French EA?"
"Ok, I have to give you a point there. And that's why you will be only half nurtured."
On the Great Fox II
Krystal was pacing up and down the bridge, waiting for two certain people to come. Pepper, Falco and Slippy were really doing well on this voyage and really had made a deeper friendship then they already had. The other two head males, on the other hand, were acting like children. One was grumpy and picking on everyone like a rich snob and the other kept on calling for help like a little nerd.
If Fox didn't kill the Prime Minister, or Tommy as Fox took to calling him, which was worse than Thomas, she would be impressed. She and Pepper, who were the only two that still called him Prime Minister, were also the only two not betting on whom would get killed first.
She turned her head to see the door open and winced. Both raccoon and vulpine were fighting to get in first and they were arguing… again. If that wasn't bad enough, besides the arguing about who was in charge, it was fighting over the little things like breakfast, etc. Two fucking hours to decide what to have and it was too late to have breakfast when they stopped, Krystal thought with annoyance.
"NO! I said it before and we are not going to discusses again," the Prime Minister shouted.
"We need to! I know that the Milky Wave Galaxy is forbidden…"
"And that is why we will go around it!"
"And starve a part of the Lythien race to death?! I don't think so!" Fox stated smugly.
Due to a miscalculation, the ships would run out of food in five months, and the passage around the galaxy would take seven to get to the Solana Galaxy. While going straight through the Milky Wave Galaxy would take three months and then two more months to actually get to the Solana Galaxy, just squeaking by. They had a rough map of this system, but due to what they can tell, if they went right now, they would make it. If they waited a few days, it would take ten months.
"I will not allow it!"
"I am going straight through and those ships will follow my lead!" Fox snapped.
"No, you will not!" Thomas bellowed back.
"Fine!" Fox bellowed, waving his arms up in the air as if to surrender. "Then I'll just call the ships and tell them that you don't want the entire Lyth race to survive for some damn reason by going around instead of straight through!!" Fox made his way over to the consol that would radio in the ship's captains. There were the few still loyal to the Prime Minister and as Fox and everyone else knew, that told them that this would destroy any little control the Prime Minister still had over his people. He glared at Fox with distain.
"Absolutely no breaks or slowing down or I will have you thrown you in jail. Do you understand me?" he spoke with such pain in his voice that Fox thought he might have had a tooth ach.
That would be so damn funny! I would love to see that! He thought along those lines when Krystal smacked the back of his head, much to his disappointment and the Prime Minister amusement.
"Fine," Fox agreed rubbing the back of his head from where his wife wacked him. "Glad you could see reason," he continued smugly with such pride that it made Krystal almost barf. She hated all of theses negative emotions her husband was emitting.
"Um, Thomas," Slippy looked puzzled and a little awkward from the thought he was trying to form into words. "Why is that galaxy forbidden? I mean some galaxies aren't to be touched until life is confirmed, and on occasions it was confirmed that this galaxy has little life, nothing that says intelligent life. So, why is it that no one is allowed in it, or allowed to settle here? I mean it has plenty planets for us, so why can't we use it?" Slippy had peaked everyone interest, especially one person.
"Yes Tommy, why can't we use them?" Fox sneered, as everyone watched the scene.
"Top secret, Fox; it's on a need to know basis," General Pepper coming into the conversation without any emotions.
"Alright, let's get this thing done with already," Fox said with such politeness it made Krystal unable to stay in that room. By excusing herself to the bedroom because of a headache, she was able to get out away from Fox. As she left, she began to cry.
He would have asked me if I was ok. He would have done that before all this happened. But not now… this isn't what I had wanted when I got married to him, she thought with anger and sadness as she entered Fox and hers bedroom, which was just Fox's old bedroom, combined with Krystal's and Fox's belongings.
Does he even love me anymore? She pondered for the longest time. She tossed it back and forth in her mind. It was until she was in their bed, did she realize she didn't know the answer and cried herself to sleep.
The next day
Fox was beyond pissed off. Not only he could not sleep in his own bed because of his wife's headache, he had to bunk on the couch. Slippy's room was taken over by the Prime Minister, while General Pepper had Peppy's and Krystal's old room was used as the bodyguard's room. That meant Slippy was bunking with Falco. It was needless to imagine what had happen as Slippy was kicked out, slamming his body on the wall, of Falco room in the morning already.
Krystal had read their minds and found out that they woke up together in the bed. Fox on the other paw, he was stuck on the uncomfortable couch, with the cloths on his back, not wanting to accidentally wake his wife by changing his cloths. While he also tried not to wake the Prime Minister as way to save his to nerves. He was contently on edge as what his wife and team were saying. When he had to do the midnight watch, the view was the one thing he didn't wanted to see as the young guy and his bodyguards were already awake and watching the outer-space view. It seemed that they were passing a small planet in the Milky Wave Galaxy. It was awkward enough so Fox decide it was necessary to break the ice.
"So, since you know the system, can you tell me the name of that planet?" Fox pointed to the small blue planet, in the most pleasant tone he could muster.
"That small dwarf planet's name is Pluto, the ninth planet in this system," he answered without blinking or even looking at Fox who was at the consol already making sure that everything was alright.
"Now how in the world do you guys come up with such a weird name?" Fox asked with sincere interest.
"Top secret, Fox," the Prime Minister replied, still staring out.
"Well, that's a shocker!" Fox growled. "Can ya at least tell me what are the other eight are, or is that top secret too?"
"Neptune, Uranus," Fox snickered at the name, "Saturn, Jupiter, Mars… umm damn I can't remember the third planet name," the Prime Minister said anger, but Fox knew he was faking it. He might be a politician, but Fox could still tell when he was lying. "Anyway, the second one is Venus and then Mercury. Trust me, I don't want to go through this system, but I suppose there won't be any life out there that…" He stopped as realized he was saying way too much classified information.
"That would be a threat?!" Fox snapped at him, all past attempts to be peaceful were pushed away by anger.
"Classified information Fox, and only in a dire, certain circumstance will I tell you or anyone on this ship or any other ship!" he yelled, surprising Fox and the bodyguards around him. The only female onboard awoke from the yelling, unhappy that the two males were fighting again and she began the same method of falling asleep that she had used earlier.
On the planet that the Prime Minister forgot
In a cave underneath a vast mansion, a man with jet black hair in a black and gray outfit was sitting in a chair staring at a huge computer screen. He was typing in command after command into the computer as the digital clock showed five.
"Master Wayne, you have been at that computer for three days," a butler stated holding a tray of food. He stood in front of a round green elevator with a black bat symbol on it. "I insist that you eat something."
"Yeah Bruce, you need some rest or the Bat might not be good to take down crooks," a young boy in a red, green and black outfit spoke as he jumped backwards from the older girl in a purple and black outfit tried to hit him in their sparring match.
"Guys, come here, now," Bruce Wayne, the playboy millionaire, or as with his costume, the Batman. "We might be in big trouble." He hit some more keys on his computer.
"How big, Bats?" the girl in the purple outfit, Batgirl or Barbara Gordon, whichever the situation was, questioned.
"This," he pulled up an image. "Forty-three spaceships has entered our galaxy," he gestured to the all the spaceships on the screen.
"WHOA. What do you think they want?" Robin or Dick Grayson as he was known by his school chumps, asked.
"I don't know, but with these sizes, it can't be good." He sighed in frustration, "From what I can tell, this red ship is the leading one," he pointed to said red spaceship, "and these six spaceships are special to them, because they are being guard by these six ships, which I am guessing are space battleships."
"What makes you think that, Bruce?" Barbara had removed her mask to get a better look and Dick followed her lead.
"Well with all cannons, and their smaller spaceships around them makes it obvious."
"So, who are they?" young Dick asked, looking it over, "The Joining again?"
"Doesn't look like them. I have called in Green Lantern since he would probably know who they are."
"Lythiens, if I am not wrong," said the flying supper hero in all green. Soon after the guardian of Earth flew in. "But I don't know why there are so many, especially in our neck of the woods… this can't be good."
"Do think it could be an invasion?" Robin inquired. "'Cause I don't think we could deal with another invasion."
"No, their Green Lantern would have tried stopping it, or would have mentioned it." He kept looking the images, "This isn't good. They would never have all their thirty-six battleships like this out."
"Man, you're good!" Batgirl spoke suddenly, startling Robin. "Sorry…"
"I'll try to get contact with their Green Lantern, but I wouldn't worry. They are very strict about not interfering with underdeveloped planets."
"Underdeveloped planets?" Bruce asked insulted but curious at the same time. "What do they consider a developed planet?"
"Space travel to be accepted as a species of intelligent life."
"What do you call the moon launch then?" Bruce already knowing the answer.
"Well, it's not always that a species is accepted as soon as they have space travel. Sometimes the civilization itself is not quite ready for it."
"You mean all the wars we humans have, right?" Bruce knowing the answer.
"You just hit the nail on the head."
"So, what we should do, Batman?" Batgirl questioned looking over the spaceships.
"Nothing."
"Sir, you can't be serious, these beings might invade us like the Joining. We have to call in the League and prepare for them," the butler stated, getting his opinion in.
"No, I don't think that they will be coming to invade us. The way their ships are positioned doesn't strike me as a plan for war, but to protect whatever is on those six ships." He shook his head with a sigh.
"So, Green Lantern, what does a Lythien look like?" Robin asked.
"Yeah, are they like us, or John, or Hawkman?" Batgirl asked as well.
"Actually, they are humanoid animals. Very much like the ones on Earth," Green Lantern answered looking over the image again.
"Really? You mean like talking dogs, cats, tigers…" Robin waved his arm as if to try and remember some other animal.
"Yup."
"Even bats?" Bruce Wayne asked, leaning backwards in his chair.
"Yes, yes they do," he answered looking over the red lead ship once again. "Star Fox!" His sudden shouting startling everyone. Everyone except for Batman, of course.
"Who are they?" said the Dark Night of Gotham.
"They're a group mercenaries, saved their galaxy a number of times." He looked over to the ship.
"Heroes of their world… so they would be at the top of whatever caused them be out like this," Batman mused.
"Sorry, but besides the name and their track record, I don't have any more information that I can remember."
"Fine, but to be safe, I would like the security on high alert until they're gone and the others to know of this."
"Sure thing, Batman," with that the man in green flew off.
"You know, with all that happened with the Joining, I would think you would be more concerned," Batgirl asked with a face.
"I trust him; after all he is the Green Lantern of Earth. He knows the most about other life beyond our galaxy and I am sure that if he says that we have nothing to worry about, I'll believe him."
"So, we're going wait for them to be gone?" Robin stated. "What do you think will happen when they come by?"
"I don't know…" Batman said when the Bat-wave went off. "The Penguin, let's go."
So we see the stage is set, and all the players are on their way. What will come off of the Lythiens crossing over to our galaxy? To find out, read more next time, same fanfic website, same fanfic story
