Fox surveyed the computer in front of him. On the computer screen in front of him flashed the completion of the Great Fox. Fox's ship has been upgrading for the past month or so. The completion report showed that the upgrade was 75% completed. Fox sighed as he realized another 2 weeks before he could use his ship.
He then clicked the second tab, and a report of the updates made to the Great Fox appeared. Most were minor changes, as the slightly more powerful engine and a quicker charge to the main gun. But the most significant was the brand new weapon, a powerful turret, as Fox calls it, the Cross-Universal Laser. If it works, then the gun will be able to merge through space and create a worm hole to any given location.
Fox has been examining these reports 5 times a day. Worrying that one mistake would waste all the money that fox has put into this. He didn't even notice Krystal and Falco walk in behind him.
That was up until Krystal turned on the light, momentarily blinding Fox. Fox turned around to meet the only person capable of such evil; his girlfriend Krystal, wearing black cargo pants, a purple t-shirt and the trademark white Starfox jacket. Standing behind her was his best friend Falco, wearing dark pants and the same white jacket, with two guns holstered on either sides of his hips.
"And what was the purpose of that exactly?" Fox said.
"You look like you haven't slept in days" Krystal answered " You need to get out"
"At least go down and see the Great Fox for yourself as opposed to watching it on a video camera" Falco added onto the previous statement.
"And how is going down there in improvement over looking at this screen" Fox retorted, not necessarily at either of them, more so both.
"Haven't you ever here of fresh air" Krystal asked fox.
"Don't worry, I'll stay here and watch the screen just in case something happens on the way there" Falco reassured fox, then he leaned in and added "Then you and Krystal can walk own alone, together"
"Fine, come on Krystal, lets go" Fox came to his somewhat final conclusion.
His only worry, that Falco will fall asleep on their way down.
Fox and Krystal walked in silence for the majority of the trip. Up until they could both see the looming ship appear in the distance.
"So what is with this new gun anyway" Krystal asked, trying her best to make a conversation.
"It's not really a weapon of sorts, it's mainly for a faster travel, it creates a sort of 'worm hole' at two desired locations. Allowing you to travel through space at a faster pace" Fox responded.
"Wait, what made you decide to spend all your money on this new device"
"Actually, I got a grant that covers half the cost. And essentially, In enough time it's supposed to pay for itself, through the fuel we save"
"Did you come up with the plans by yourself?" Krystal asked.
"Me and Peppy have been working on it for just over a year now"
"So... Does that mean it's gonna be added to the Cornelia fleet?"
"Yea, but the Great Fox is just the prototype holder for the fleet, So were gonna test it out"
"We?"
"Well, I just assumed that you wanted to come along Team Star Fox on what just might be our last fight"
"Of course I do!"
"When does your college end"
"In two weeks"
"Okay, We'll go as soon as we can" The couple walked through the door of the hanger."
As soon as they walked through the open doors they were meet with the large mass of the Great Fox. It was easily bigger than the surrounding building. Not the biggest ship that fox has ever seen though. You could tell at first glance that major renovations were being made to the massive ship. Major sections of the hard exterior was removed at this moment.
"No matter how many times I see it, it's size will forever take my breath away" Krystal gaped.
"Mr. McCloud, nice to see you out of the office. Is there a reason you have made your way to the garage. Any specifics you want to look at." Mr. Smith asked Fox. Mr. Smith, an old white stallion and head of the renovation crew.
"oh no, we are just taking a stroll before getting back to work." Fox replied.
"So Mr. Smith, how long do you think the rest of the renovations will take." Krystal asked.
"2-3 weeks Miss" Mr. Smith replied.
"I'm just gonna show Krystal around then we'll be on our way." Fox reassured Mr. Smith.
"Okay hopefully we will keep in touch." Mr. Smith said.
Fox gave Krystal an extensive tour of the new Great Fox. The living quarters, the laboratory, the bridge, the engine room, the cargo storage, and everything in between. After the tour, they said one final farewell to Mr. Smith, and headed back towards Fox's office.
Late into the night, when everything was quiet and everyone was asleep, Fox was still awake, staring into the illuminating screen. For once, it was not the plans for the Great Fox, but a map of the galaxy. The only one of it's kind, a map that shows disturbances in the spacial dimension. It shows the rift created by a worm hole between two locations. The act creates a traceable rift. This is where Fox got the idea of of the Cross-Universal laser.
The thing that makes it special, is that it is always expanding. Whenever a rift is created, the map is expands that much more as it is able to feed more information through the worm hole. The image blares as another rift appears. The last few rifts have been unexplainable close to key sectors in the universe. The closest one at the edge of the Lylat system; where wolf is rumored to be hiding. There was a major rift where the war took place a few years back.
A familiar ship appears anew on my scanners. I recognize it immediately from the war.
I codename it especially for them.
And I start the transmission.
A/N: For those who have been following this story I fixed the first chapter. Something got messed up, so sorry I am still getting use to this site as this is my first fanfiction.
