Legacy of Travas

Chapter 15: Family Matters and Mysteries

Upon an October morning on the Alopex, the weather systems inside the orbiting station begin to lower the temperature to match the fall season. While Travas' life in Nosgoth seemed to be in a mix of both good and bad, his family's life on Alopex seemed to have continued on with theirs as much as they could. However, life had been hard, yet calm, among the family after their son's apparent murder, yet they were unaware of his resurrection and of his current residence in Nosgoth.

However, the person that had been affected by it the most was Scarlet, who had witnessed Travas' murder first hand. Ever since Scarlet lost her brother from the three felin thugs, her heart had planted a seed of hatred among the entire felin species. As she awakens from her sleep, her mother, Victoria, began knocking on the door before opening it to greet and get Scarlet out of bed.

"Morning, Scarlet… and I can see you're awake. Did you sleep well?" Victoria asked as Scarlet got out of her bed.

"I… I guess so, Mommy", Scarlet answered; though awake, in a slightly saddened tone as Victoria held onto her briefly in a comforting manner.

"It's going to be okay, Scarlet. Now go on ahead and get dressed so you'll be ready for school. Your father will have pancakes ready for you and your sister in the kitchen shortly. We'll meet you inside", Victoria said as she patted Scarlet's head while walking towards the kitchen.

Within a few minutes, Scarlet comes out wearing a purple t-shirt with the Solarfox Insignia logo on her left sleeve, a pair of blue jean boot-cut pants, and her black and white converse shoes. She enters upon the kitchen with her family and sits among her spot with the plate of pancakes in front of her. Shortly after, she begins to eat her breakfast as Billy Squier's "Everybody Wants You" plays on the family radio in the kitchen, causing Erica to move her arms, dancing happily to the riffs of the guitars. Scarlet, in response, began to softly smile upon her sister as this brought some comfort to her while she continued eating her breakfast.

"Oh, Travas look at Erica", Victoria said while she and her husband were chuckling together looking upon her with soft smiles on their faces.

"Well would you look at that", Travas Sr. said while smiling softly as he finished his breakfast and headed towards the kitchen, putting his plate in the sink. Then he goes to the coat rack and puts on his general status Solarfox Strikeforce coat and hat while Scarlet waits by the front door while putting her backpack on.

"I can see that our little cadet is ready to go", Victoria assumed as Scarlet was tapping her foot on the floor, growing impatiently.

"Daddy, I'm ready for school. Can we go now", Scarlet complained while Travas Sr. manages to finish getting his uniform ready for work.

"Nothing to worry about, Sweetheart, I have just finished adjusting my uniform", Travas Sr. spoke as he grabbed the keys to the hover car outside. "Now let's get you to school, Scarlet. Then we can all go to the mall and get our Halloween costumes ready for the latter part of next week", he continued while Scarlet and Erica squealed with excitement. Then Travas Sr. and Scarlet head for the hover car parked in the driveway, placing the keys into the ignition and driving towards their designated areas for the day.

After leaving, Victoria turned the radio off began to do the dishes as Erica continued to finish her breakfast. While doing the dishes, a few troubling thoughts concerning Scarlet began to course through her mind. However, those thoughts were interrupted when Erica began to call her.

"Mama, food gone", Erica spoke loudly as Victoria sees the empty plate on her booster chair and grabs it, thus cleaning the dish while placing it with the others.

"Great job, Erica", Victoria said in a cheerful tone while picking Erica up from her chair, took her into the living room, and began to put on a kids educational show for her daughter on TV. Thus the two started watching the show as Erica began to cheer happily while Victoria smiled upon her daughter.

*Inside Travas Sr.'s Office, about an hour later*

As both Victoria and Erica remained at home, Travas Sr. was in his office working on some files concerning a case involving an unusual intrusion by a winged being and his assistant happening almost seven months ago. Travas Sr. himself began to sigh in frustration as he and some other authorities have not found any further evidence regarding the case except for an burned down gang hideout and destroyed weapons. Soon enough, a young Sergeant named Nathan Reese enters and salutes to the General.

"General Starfox, I was sent here by Richard to inform you about some recent evidence we have found concerning the Underground Alopex Academy Fire Case", Sgt. Reese explained as Travas Sr. looked upon him suddenly. "Apparently, we have received a call that there has been some damage sustained almost seven months ago from the same graveyard your son, Travas, was buried slightly prior to the incident occurring", he continued as Travas Sr. Stood up with angered shock.

"What…! Near my son's Grave… why there", Travas Sr. asked angrily, but shocked as he tries to take a few deep breaths as an attempt to calm down.

"We're not for sure why at the moment… though according some brief footage, until the camera itself was destroyed by some sort of shock wave, it is believed that this may be the origins of where and how the blue skinned winged being had appeared", Sgt. Reese explained as Travas Sr. finally manages to calm down enough to function in an orderly manner.

"Was there anything else seen on the footage", Travas Sr. asked calmly, though angered upon the news.

"No sir, the only thing that was seen is the winged being's arrival at the Crypt and that's it", Sgt. Reese explained as he stood his ground from Travas Sr.'s slowly, but surely rising anger.

"Very well then, Reese… you are dismissed", Travas Sr. explained as Sgt. Reese salutes him and leaves the room calmly, yet quickly as the General himself got back onto his seat once more. "Now this doesn't make any sense… we now know how the creature managed to get here… but why did he show up at the graveyard… inside my Family Crypt upon which my son's final resting place is located", Travas Sr. asked within his mind as he rubbed his chin with slight grief, but mostly suspicion.

At this time, he began to look upon the files that were made about the case within the near seven month range that went on. He had also begun to look at some of the screenshots that were taken with the camera inside the Hangar, upon which the bloody deed of Travas' murder took place.

While the images themselves were blurry, he was still able to see and distinguish some of the winged being's features upon them. But what began to trouble him was the winged being's assistant in the images. Though he could not clearly see who it was, there had been something about the assistant that gave him a sense of… familiarity within him.

"I don't get it… though I can understand that the cameras themselves were not functioning at the time, I can still see something within the winged being's assistant that is somehow… familiar… but I don't know why", Travas Sr. thought to himself while trying to figure out who the assistant was. But before he could think of who the assistant was, the holo-phone rings, causing him to jump in surprise before answering it. "Hello, this is General Travas Starfox Sr. Speaking. May I ask who's calling", he asked as Scarlet's school principal, Misty Downing, is displayed in the hologram. Misty is a female artic vixen kitsune with nine tails, dark brown hair, blue eyes, in her mid-twenties, 38 EE cup sized breasts, and wore a dark grey school-appropriate office suit.

"Yes, this is Principal Downing from the Veron Opus Elementary School. It seems that your daughter, Scarlet, has gotten into trouble for attempting to provoke upon a new felin student in her classroom", Principal Downing explained as Travas Sr. sighs in frustration before growling angrily as his temper began to rise inside him.

"Hang on, Principal Downing, I will be there shortly", Travas Sr. said as he hung up the Holo-phone and growled in anger. "Damnit, Scarlet...! This is the third time within a two month range that this bullshit's happened. She's getting on my last fucking nerve concerning her felin loathing behavior", he thought within his mind with an angered tone as he grabbed his general status coat and headed out of his office door.

*Inside the Starfox Family Home, about twenty minutes later*

As the day had continued to progress on Alopex, Victoria had continued her work around the house while keeping an eye on her toddler daughter, Erica. As she was working, she couldn't help but watch her daughter play "Pac-man" while chuckling to herself. Though everything at home seemed to be fine for the moment, the tide soon began to change when Travas Sr. slammed the door angrily while holding onto Scarlet's arm tightly. At that moment, Victoria and Erica turned to face them both as a response to the slamming door and seeing them both.

"Travas, what's going on, and why is Scarlet back home and not at school", Victoria asked with a concerned tone, looking towards him as she notices her mate slightly tighten his grip on their angered, yet fearful daughter's arm.

"I'm glad you asked me that, hon. apparently it seems that Scarlet has attempted to provoke another fight with a new felin student that entered her school. Then, she's been using foul language towards the same student as well as both her Teacher and Principal", Travas Sr. explained angrily, though as calm as he possibly could. "She's lucky to not have gotten herself an Out-of-School suspension or a possible school expulsion because of her provocative actions and potty mouth… however; she has gotten herself about two to three weeks of an In-School-Suspension sentence because of her actions", he continued while tightening the grip on her arms slightly as she struggled to get free. At the same time, Victoria had begun to look at her daughter dead in the eye.

"Scarlet, I don't understand why you keep acting like this towards felin students at your school, even after we have told you countless number of times. And yet, this is starting to become a problem… and we're going to get to the bottom of this at once", Victoria said as she took Scarlet from her mate and placed her on the couch. "Why did you attempt to provoke a fight towards another felin student at your School? What has been going through your mind at the time this took place? Answer us", she spoke demandingly as the vixen child looks upon her mother and growled with cold, angered eyes.

"Mommy, you know why I attempted to fight the felin…" Scarlet answered as Victoria sat next to her and sighs in understanding frustration.

"I understand that, Scarlet… but that still doesn't answer my question. Why did you attempt to provoke a fight with the new felin student while she was trying to become acquainted and familiar with the School?" Victoria asked slightly louder than before.

"It's because…" Scarlet paused, looking away from her mother briefly before looking at her with furious eyes. "IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S A DAMNED FELIN, THAT'S WHAT", she screamed from the top of her lungs as Travas Sr. grabbed her by her shirt collar, pulling her close to him as he started growling in a serious, angered manner.

"YOU WATCH YOUR DAMN MOUTH AND DON'T EVER TALK TO YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN… OTHERWISE I WILL MAKE SURE YOU FACE A MORE SEVERE PUNISHMENT THAN WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET", Travas Sr. screamed furiously, shoving Scarlet back against the couch aggressively, causing her cry as a response while his mate started looking towards him with anger. In that moment, the young toddler, Erica began to run and climb upon the stairs towards her bedroom as she began crying from her parents arguing towards each other.

"What that even necessary for you to even shove your daughter that aggressively, Travas", Victoria yelled as her mate continued to growl in anger.

"If this is the only way to deal with this behavior Scarlet keeps having, then yes it is", Travas Sr. yelled towards his mate as Scarlet tried to escape from their argument. However, her father noticed this and pushes her back on the couch, almost in a slight violent gesture. "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, MISSY", he shouted aggressively as Victoria held onto him, thus preventing from trying to do anything else towards the frightened vixen child.

"Scarlet, go to your room! I'll handle this and talk to your father. But after this is taken care of, we will tell you what your punishment will be", Victoria ordered as Scarlet headed for her room upstairs as quickly as she could.

Soon enough, the two parents began to argue over how they should properly punish Scarlet based upon their daughter's actions at school. Although the screams were loud, no sounds of any objects or physical fighting were heard between the two. Upstairs, however, both of the kits were in their rooms scared of what would become of their parents if the argument had continued to escalate to physical violence. But within a matter of a few minutes, their hopes were answered as the yelling began to subside and have returned to normal.

About a few minutes after the yelling died down; their mother began walking upstairs and starts knocking on Scarlet's bedroom door. Scarlet then reluctantly opens the door as Victoria entered her room and sat upon her bed as she herself did the same next to her mother.

"Scarlet, I do apologize for the improper treatment your father has done to you regarding the trouble you have gotten into at school today", Victoria spoke as Scarlet looked upon her carefully for what she has to say. "However, it has come that your father and I have decided to ground you for the next month over this recent event. At the same time, you will not be allowed to do any trick or treating this cycle either", she continued as Scarlet's eyes widened in shock.

"Mommy… I want to go Trick or Treating this cycle… please let me go", Scarlet pleaded as tears began to form in her eyes. Though Victoria felt sorry for her daughter, she looked upon Scarlet with a serious expression, showing her daughter that she has finalized her decision.

"I'm sorry, sweetie, but you're not going Trick or Treating this cycle and that's final!" Victoria stated as Scarlet turned the other direction in sadness and slight guilt in her. Victoria then stood up and began to leave her room. "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but it's best that you use this time to think about what you've done", she continued as she finally leaves Scarlet's room and shuts the door before her. In a matter of a few mere seconds, tears had begun to stream down Scarlet's face as she immediately placed her face upon her pillow and began sobbing from all that has happened.

After some time passes while Scarlet was crying upon her pillow, Erica knocks on the door and enters upon her room. In response, Scarlet turns to see her while Erica sees her sister's tear-stained face, thus worrying her badly. Erica then tries to approach her sister until Scarlet's expression changed from a saddened confused look to an annoyed, but slightly calm look.

"Erica… just leave me alone… please", Scarlet pleaded, though Erica sat the box of tissues on her bed. Though Scarlet pleaded her to leave, Erica still approached her to see if she could be of any help.

"Big sister…?" Erica said as she slowly approached Scarlet in a cautious, worried manner. Shortly after, Scarlet began to jump off of her bed while growling towards her sister with aggression.

"I said leave me alone!" Scarlet yelled at her younger sister as tears began to form in Erica's eyes. Within that instant, she turned away from Scarlet and ran out of the room with tears streaming down her face, heading towards her bedroom next door. All that Scarlet could do now was lie upon her bed and sigh in frustration as she stared upon the smooth ceiling above.

*Inside Victoria and Travas Sr.'s Bedroom, at the same time*

While Erica headed for her room in tears, Victoria and Travas Sr. have been lying upon the bed next to each other while talking to each other about Scarlet's behavior. Soon, Travas Sr. sighs in frustration as he grabs a file containing some small, yet recent evidence about the Underground Alopex Academy Fire Case regarding the mysterious winged being. But before he turned to face his wife, he sighs softly and grabs the case as Victoria turned to face her mate.

"Victoria, I can understand that you may not be in the mood to hear anything regarding the Underground Alopex Academy Fire Case, but this is something you may need to have a look at in the file I have here", Travas Sr. Spoke as he handed the file to her while she took it and began to look through them closely.

As she looked upon the files, she saw the blurry videos and images of the mysterious winged being arriving inside the Starfox Family Crypt to the point where he and his assistant arrive towards the site upon which their son's murder had taken place. She then looks upon her husband in shock upon what she had seen on the videos and of the images themselves.

"What kind of creature is this guy… and why did he arrive at our Family Crypt at the graveyard in the first place", Victoria asked as she looked back at the videos and images of the being himself. But as she looked upon the recently newfound evidence, the cries of Erica are heard not far from their room. The general sighs in frustration as he stood back onto his feet-paws, looking at the direction of Erica's room.

"I'll go on and have a look at what happened to Erica", Travas Sr. said as he began to make his way towards Erica's bedroom, but was stopped when Victoria grabbed his arm gently, but firmly before turning to face his mate.

"Whatever the problem is… do not harm or frighten her in any manner whatsoever. Scarlet will be treated the same way as her sister, understood", Victoria calmly, yet firmly said as he nodded in response and headed for Erica's room to see what the problem was. As for Victoria, she headed back onto the bed and sat upon the mattress while thinking about the case.

"None of this makes any sense… why did this creature arrive within our family Crypt… and close by our son's resting place", Victoria thought within her mind as she looked upon the evidence she received from her mate. "This is definitely something to look into closely and clearly", she continued while placing the evidence back into the folder and placing it on Travas Sr.'s desk.

Within a few mere moments after lying down, Travas Sr. enters the room and sits next to his mate while looking upon her.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, hon, but it seems that Erica was crying because Scarlet had snapped at her for bringing in a box of tissues and trying to help comfort her in any way possible", Travas Sr. explained as Victoria looked towards him.

"What did you do about the problem", Victoria asked.

"I extended Scarlet's punishment somewhat… now she's grounded for two months unless she behaves properly", Travas Sr. answered as he takes the evidence file and makes his way towards the door, but stops just in front of it. "If you need me, I'll be in the Den to look over the evidence thoroughly", he finished as he heads for the Den downstairs while Victoria looked up towards the ceiling.

"Thank goodness he's managed to not scream at them or use other punishments towards our kits… but it still reminds me of the past with my mate's behavior in our son's early teenage cycles", Victoria thought to herself while she rolled over to her left side, only to see a photo of her son in his Canine Astro Officer Uniform in front of the United Species of Acirema flag. "But the day that scared me the most while our son was alive was when Travas and his father got into an argument that almost cost my mate his life", she continued as she grabbed the photo of her 'deceased' son, Travas. In that moment, she began to remember the day that he and his father got into a fight that almost got her mate killed.

*Flashback*

One week after the Tenth Annual Alopex Martial Arts Tournament, things within the Starfox Household seemed to have calmed down. Scarlet was been playing her video games in the Living Room, Erica watched her sister play video games, Travas Sr. had been reading the newspaper on the recliner, and Victoria was cooking some Cherkin and Rice in the kitchen. Soon enough, Travas opens the door and enters upon his home while sighing quietly in depression as he passes by.

"Travas, you're home", Victoria said as she went to hug him. However, she noticed her son's depressed state and looked upon him worriedly. "Son… what's wrong", she asked as Travas looked upon her briefly before looking away.

"It's nothing, Mom", Travas said softly as Scarlet began tugging on his Leather Jacket w/ Denim Vest, wanting to get his attention.

"Travas…! I managed to beat the boss in "Galaga' on hard mode", Scarlet said happily as Travas looked upon his sister with a soft smile, though depressed.

"That's awesome, SAS", Travas spoke as he rubbed her head gently before turning to his mother. "Look, I'll be in my room for a little while. Come get me when dinner is ready", he spoke as his mother nodded in response and continued on with her cooking. Travas then walked towards his room and shuts the door behind him.

Upon entering, he takes off his Leather Jacket w/ Denim Vest and places it on the rack. He then removed other articles of clothing until he was in his gray tank top, black socks, and his black skintight leather pants. Afterwards he lies upon the bed and places his Slayer "Seasons of the Abyss" CD into the stereo, listening to it at a reasonable volume while thinking about recent events happening since the tournament the week before.

As Travas was thinking and a certain amount of time passes, the song "Seasons of the Abyss" from Slayer began to play, deepening his thoughts as a response. But when it got close to the chorus, he hears some knocking on his bedroom door. Then, he gets off of his bed and opens the door to reveal her worried mother waiting outside.

"Son, I want to let you know that dinner will be ready in about five to seven minutes", Victoria said as the depressed Travas nodded in response. "Travas… are you sure you're okay…" she asked worryingly as he also nodded in response.

"Don't worry, mom… I'll be fine", Travas answered as he gently shut the door and lied upon the mattress in his room. In response, his mother began to worry about him deeper as she headed back for the kitchen.

"I don't know what to do… it's like he's hiding something from me that he doesn't want to talk about", Victoria thought to herself as she continued to cook dinner. "I want to help him… but how can I if he can't tell me what's wrong", she continued thinking while adding a few necessary spices to the food.

After a few minutes passes by, Victoria gets dinner set up on the table as everyone except Travas gather at the table. Victoria then heads for Travas' room and knocks on the door as he opens to see his mother again.

"Travas, dinner is ready", Victoria spoke as she patted her son's right shoulder while heading for the Table. Travas heads for the table shortly after Victoria arrives as she has his and her plates ready to eat. In response, Travas nods in a thankful manner as he took his plate and sat across from his father and next to Scarlet. Likewise, Victoria sits next to her mate while placing Erica in a table stool next to her.

As they continue eating dinner, Travas Sr. began to look upon the food with slight disgust while reluctantly eating it. At the same time, Travas began to notice his father's behavior and looks upon him suspiciously. On top of this, Victoria begins to notice their expressions and keeps watch of them both.

"How's dinner, you two", Victoria asked as Both Travas and Travas Sr. looked upon her.

"Dinner's fine", both Travas and his father answered as they continued eating. However, Travas had kept an eye on his father, noticing that he was eying his food and briefly towards him.

As the two continued to eat, Travas Sr. began to eye his mate with an unsatisfied expression and quietly growled while she wasn't looking. In that Instant, Travas had finally, yet for some strange reason, snaps and tosses his fork onto the plate with aggression, looking towards his father with an angered expression.

"Then why the kenal are you complaining about having the same damn thing if you're eating it right now", Travas yelled aggressively as his father looked at him coldly.

"I never said such a thing… and what the kenal are you, Travas, some kind of mind reader or something like that?" Travas Sr. asked coldly and sarcastically, looking upon his son as he eyes his father angrily. "Damnit, son, you better answer me right now!" he shouted demandingly as he got up and headed for his son while Travas did the same for his father.

"Pretty much, you old man…! I just read your fucking mind", Travas said angrily as Victoria and Scarlet gasped in shocking response.

"Travas, watch your mouth… and no fighting, you two!" Victoria shouted angrily, yet worryingly and shockingly as she ran and got between the two, who are now facing each other nose to nose.

"So, Mr. Psychic, if you have read my mind, then what the fuck did I say in my thoughts", Travas Sr. asked angrily as Travas clenched his fist in preparation.

"You said that you were sick of eating the same Cherkin and Rice that Mom cooks and that it's getting on your fucking nerves. You damn well know that Mom hasn't been able to go shopping today since her paycheck hasn't come in yet… so how about you just SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DEAL WITH IT!" Travas shouted angrily, causing Victoria to gasp in shock while Travas Sr. was growling in rage.

"Hey, WATCH YOU FUCKING MOUTH, YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT", Travas Sr. yelled angrily and aggressively as he attempted to go towards his son, but was stopped by Victoria.

"Boys, STOP IT!" Victoria screamed loudly as she tried to break them up, but her mate shoved her to the side, causing her to land upon the couch. Then he immediately and fiercely punched Travas on his left cheek, causing him to crash onto the lamp on the coffee table nearby. Soon Travas got back up and gave his father a roundhouse kick on his father's right side of the face while wiping the blood off of the left side of his face.

As the fight continued to progress between Travas and his father, Scarlet grabbed Erica and headed for the Den with tears streaming down both of their faces. Though Victoria wanted to go and comfort them both, she had to focus on trying to break up the fight between the two, who in which have cause a substantial amount of damage towards each other. It was then that, out of desperation, Travas Sr. had removed his leather belt and uses it by means to strangling his son, causing Travas to begin gasping for air.

"So who's the tough guy now, you little piece of shit", Travas Sr. yelled aggressively as he tightened the leather belt around his son's neck as Travas continued to struggle with escaping from his father's grip.

As Travas tried continuously to get free, Victoria attempted to free her son while her husband continues to tighten the leather constraint around their son's neck. While Victoria was struggling to get her son free, however, she noticed something disturbing about Travas' narrowly-opened eyes. She saw that his innocent green irises were slowly fading away, almost beginning to blend in with the white of his eye. Upon making this discovery, she had somehow began to figure out that her son's rage was about to explode and backs away from him upon short notice.

"What… what's happening to my son's eyes...? It's like they have changed into something more horrific than his usual, innocent green eyes", Victoria thought within her mind as she backed away from them slightly in fear. "Travas…! LET GO OF OUR SON, NOW!" Victoria spoke loudly as the struggle continued to worsen with each passing second.

Though things seem to continue getting worse, it was then that Victoria began to notice smoke had begun to form on her son's body. And in that instant, she backed away from her son as far as she could. Within the next moment, Travas' body was suddenly engulfed in a fiery like red-purple colored energy similar to that from the Tournament the week before. This monstrosity had instantly shocked Travas Sr. to death, causing him to lose his grip on his belt that had formerly strangulated his son. And in that moment, Travas turned to face his father with his now pupil-less eyes and immediately landed a punch upon Travas Sr.'s stomach, taking the air out of his body. Then he threw a vicious punch on the left side of his face, sending him through the window leading to their city block outside.

As Travas flew towards his father's direction to continue the fight, the residents around that block had left from their homes to see what was going on outside. But outside, Travas had landed another powerful punch upon his father into the space station sky. Then he flew towards his father again and performed a vicious front flip kick upon his face, causing him to crash upon a nearby field at a local park close to home. This immediately caused many local civilians near the park to run from the monstrosity they now witnessed upon their neighborhood.

Back at the Starfox family home, Victoria immediately ran towards the park to try and stop the fight. Before she was able to leave her front yard, Scarlet, while holding onto Erica, had run towards her mother in fear of what may happen next.

"Mommy, there has to be something we can do to stop the fight… I don't want Travas or Daddy to die", Scarlet spoke as she and Erica continued crying and holding onto their mother in fear. But in that moment, though faint due to the distance, sirens could be heard as they headed towards the direction of the park located nearby their home… and where Travas and his father had continued their fight.

"That sounds like the local authorities are on their way to the park. I have to do something about the fight and now before this gets any worse than it already is", Victoria said as she looked upon her kids worryingly. "Scarlet, I know I'm not supposed to be doing this, but I need you to stay here and watch over your sister while I go to the park and try to stop them. Do you understand, Scarlet", she explained as Scarlet, though reluctant, had nodded in understanding and took her sister back inside the house and remained there until their mother would return.

*Within the Park*

While Victoria was making her way towards the park, Travas had landed upon the now damaged fields of the park just within about seven meters from his father's location. As Travas was walking towards his father, Travas Sr., though bloodied and broken, began to crawl away from his son in fear. But his efforts had soon become worthless as his body could no longer move any farther than desired. He then turns to face his son's pupil-less eyes as Travas began to form some sort of energy around his hand-paws.

"Travas…" Travas Sr. spoke fearfully as his eyes widened upon the shock that his son continued to intensify the energy forming on his hand-paws… so much so that it causes the ground to shake around upon them both. But as Travas continued his fierce attack, Victoria arrives on the scene and looks upon her mate's bloodied, injured state.

"Travas STOP", Victoria screamed as she ran towards them as fast as she could. But by the time she got to her son, he had already finalized his attack and was ready for the kill. As a response, she grabbed Travas' body as an effort to stop him, but proved to be worthless as she couldn't get him to budge.

In that Moment, Travas spread out his arms slightly above and in front of him as he prepares to kill his father while Victoria was trying to stop her son. But before he was able to throw the attack on his father, the authorities arrive and use the most powerful Taser guns they had in their possession on the ferocious vulpin, thus putting his body into immediate shock as he fell onto the ground on the right side of his body. The authorities instantly approach Travas and rolled him over on his stomach upon short notice before placing his hand-paws behind his back, placing the forearm cuffs onto him.

"Travas Starfox, you are under arrest under the charges of Destruction of Property, Disturbing the Peace, and the Attempted Murder of a high-ranking Solarfox Strikeforce official", a young vulpin Officer stated as he picked Travas up and threw him into the V.O.P.D. van just within a few feet from their location. Then almost immediately, the authorities took Travas towards the Veron Opus Police Department while the paramedics took Travas Sr. to the Veron Opus Hospital.

While this was happening, Victoria ran back towards the house to check on her two kits, Scarlet and Erica. As she entered her house, Scarlet, with Erica held in her arms, ran and held onto their mother's leg with tears streaming down their faces. In response, their mother rubbed their heads comfortingly as she picked them up and took them towards the car. But before they left, she went back inside and grabbed Travas' black military combat boots and took them into the hover car outside. Then, Victoria enters the vehicle, starts the engine, and drives towards the Veron Opus Police Department by means of getting her son out of jail.

While Victoria was driving, thoughts concerning the strange energy her son exerted began to course through her mind. Even though she wondered about it, she ignored it and continued to drive towards the Station where her son was being kept. Within fifteen minutes passing, they finally arrive to the station and head inside with whatever money Victoria had that she could use to bail her son out. Shortly after entering, they make it to the counter as Victoria began knocking on the counter window, catching the male arctic fox's attention.

"Excuse me, Sir…! My son, Travas had been recently place under arrest and was taken here for imprisonment. Is there any way that I could bail him out by chance", Victoria asked as the Station Accountant got onto his computer and began searching the files for her son. To her luck, the Accountant nods as she sighs in relief. She pays the vulpin the bail cost and the Accountant goes to get her son out.

Within a course of a minute or two, the Accountant comes back into the lobby with Travas, though was slightly bruised and bloodied, in his hand-paws as he un-cuffed him from his forearm-cuffs. After Travas was un-cuffed, Victoria and her kits ran to him and hugged him in relief, though his mother was unpleased of his actions from earlier. But nevertheless, they now head towards the hospital even though Travas was reluctant on going.

After about ten minutes of driving, the family arrives to the hospital upon where Travas Sr. was being treated for his injuries. They arrive to the counter to meet a gray vixen accountant who was somewhere in her twenties.

"Excuse me, Miss, but do you know what room my mate, General Travas Starfox Sr. is being kept in for treatment of his injuries", Victoria asked as Travas sighed in frustration and anger. Thus, Victoria turned to face him as the Accountant began to search among the databases for Victoria's mate's room. "Travas, I don't want to hear anything aggressive from you, nor any fighting from you two. Do I make myself clear", she whispered in her son's ear as the Accountant turns to face them.

"Mrs. Starfox, your mate is located in Room B-204 on the second floor", the Vixen Accountant answered as the family heads upstairs for the room.

Upon Arrival, they see that Travas Sr. had suffered a horrific amount of damage, which includes five broken ribs, his left leg and right arm fractured heavily, a bloodied and bruised face, and stitching over his right cheek. Though Victoria, Scarlet, and Erica went towards their father in a worrying manner, Travas had went to the farthest seat he could find and sat there, looking upon the floor with an expression showing that he could care less about his own father. However, Victoria saw this and went towards him both worried and annoyed.

"Travas… I understand that you're not in the mood to talk to your father or anyone else for that matter. But right now, all I ask is that you remain close with your siblings so that you could comfort them from the damage you caused upon your father. That's all I'm asking of you to do…" Victoria said as Travas looked towards her eye to eye. "Please…" she begged her son as he let out a sigh in calm frustration. Shortly, Travas, though reluctant about going near his father, nodded and headed for his saddened siblings and sat next to them.

Although the entire hospital visit was tense and uncomforting, the family manages to endure it with ease and without any further trouble from both father and son. After a few hours of visiting, the family leaves Travas Sr.'s hospital room and begins to head home for the remainder of the night. On the way to the car, Victoria had begun to keep a close eye on her son, Travas, to ensure he doesn't get into any further trouble. Once they entered the car, the family had begun driving home for the night.

As Victoria was driving, she noticed her son looking out of the passenger's side window in depression and began to worry about him. As soon as she stopped at a red light, she patted her son's left shoulder as Travas turned to face his mother, seeing her softly smile upon him. Thus, the expression on Victoria face gave some comfort to him as he softly smiled back. Once the light turned green, Victoria continued to drive home so that the rest of her family could continue on with their daily lives.

Within a few days passing, Travas Sr. manages to recover from his injuries, with the help of the rejuvenation tanks, and returns home to his family. Within the next couple of days after, Travas and Travas Sr. began to make amends for their actions and move on from what happened earlier during the week. With their amends said and done, the family would continue to live their lives until tragedy would strike upon Travas about three weeks after the sudden monstrosity during an unexpected confrontation between him and three felin thugs.

*Flashback End*

"The day that Travas and his father got into that confrontation, everything seemed to slowly get out of control", Victoria thought to herself while looking upon the ceiling above her. "I was grateful that they were able to make their amends with each other before Travas' death… but it still feels like yesterday when the confrontation happened…" she continued while getting off of the bed and walking out of the room.

As she was walking around the room, Victoria began to look in the rooms of both Scarlet and Erica. While looking, they noticed that the two were sleeping among their beds comfortingly after all that has happened that morning. Though this brought comfort to her heart, she began to head towards Travas' former room and enters inside. Even though she noticed that some of his clothes and other items were missing, all she chose to do was sit upon his bed and look at the photo she and Travas Sr. placed on his dresser. The photo itself showed the family at the swimming pool in the Veron Opus Natatorium, with Travas smiling after being splashed by his mother, which had been taken in the summer of 991.

"My son had always been a positive person and had never gotten into trouble in his life", Victoria thought in her mind as she then turned to the photo of her son in his Martial Arts uniform at the Tenth Annual Alopex Martial Arts Tournament in early March of 992. "But I remember the day that had changed after he had fought a fighter named Zepherus and killed him that day… that was when he had gotten into occasional trouble. But at the same time, he started feeling depressed and I wasn't able to help him with whatever was bothering him at the time, even though he had done so much to keep the family together and solve our problems", she continued while covering her muzzle with her hands in response to remembering her son from the tournament up to his tragedy.

After thinking about her son for half-a-minute or so, her sadness could no longer be contained as tears began to form and stream down her face like medium-paced raindrops dripping from a window. Her soft sobs began to become slightly louder for her to hear while covering her own muzzle, trying to avoid waking her two sleeping kits.

"Travas…! I wish you were here with us…" Victoria spoke softly, but mournfully while leaning her head towards her knees and covering her eyes in response. "We need you more than ever… … I need you…" she continued while sobbing at a medium-loud tone. For the rest of the morning and perhaps during the early parts of the afternoon, Victoria continued to sit upon Travas' former mattress and mourn for the loss she wished had never happened.

Talk about a double post, folks. I wish you thank you all for reading and being patient with me. I currently have college going on and it may be some time before I can post another chapter. As you all may have read, the Starfox family hasn't been going well within their lives after losing their son and brother, Travas (But unaware of his resurrection). But despite this happening, how will the family continue to cope? And what makes of Scarlet's behavior after an incident that happened between her and the felin student. Well folks, all I have to say right now is to keep reading the next chapters of 'Legacy of Travas' to find out/
