Also, I'm sorry if this chapter comes out bad because I've had a four day case of writers block. Don't worry though, the next few chapters after this should turn out just fine :D

Wait
I'm coming undone
Irate
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate

Three Months Later...
Bothsiloth
"Sir, we have some fairly plausible information on the whereabouts of Otto…" A ratty looking cat spoke. In the corner of the room was a large black figure hidden by his own shadow.
"You have my attention…" The figure grumbled in a deep voice.
"Well uh," The feline nervously mouthed. "During out scout of the desert, we found an abandoned building…"
"…"
"What I mean is, it was what we thought was an abandoned building. We noticed that there were others inside. After a quick check, we discovered scrap metal and what appeared to be Otto." There was a long silence that enveloped the room.
"Is that all?"
"No sir, we also found another person of interest along with them…Does the name Lars Ha-"
"Harburg…" The voice interrupted. His breathing was becoming heavier.
"Umm, yes sir…" The figure finally came out of the darkness, revealing Hammerhead Orglich- a jet black swine with piercing red eyes . He wore a black suit that practically blended into his rather big boned build. He smiled devilishly at the informant and spoke up.
"Take them out…"

Two Days Later…
Otto observed Lars and Co'ort made some last minute checks on the new craft that had been completed about three days ago. The all black exterior made it stand out on land but once in space, it would be practically invisible. Because of this, the hound had appropriately named it The Shadow. Otto motioned to Lars to come his way.
"Is everything ready?" He questioned.
"Looks like it. Fuels loaded, engines working, and the air supply is at full capacity. I'd say we'll be fine for tomorrow."
The brown furred canine undid the hatch inside and went toward the bridge. It was a bit tight for the crew once everyone was on it, but it was a welcoming aspect for Otto since he had been so used to working in an extremely claustrophobic workspace a few months prior. As he turned back to head out, he became face to face with Andre. His arm was bloody and singed.
"Andre, what happen-"
"We've been compromised." The tan vulpine said as if it were one word. He pushed Otto out of the way and grabbed a seat on the bridge. The canine had no time to react to his statement, within moments, the room became loud and cluttered with people. Their voices became indistinguishable, all being drowned out by the sound of gunfire ricocheting off of the heavily armored ship. Otto was brought out of his trance by Andre, who smacked him on the cheek.
"What the fuck are you standing around for?!" He got no response from him. "Get the ship started, we're busting out early!" The fox ran down the hall toward the engine room to make sure that the engines fired properly. Without any hesitation, Otto took the controls and prepared to take off. What he worried about the most was the fact that he'd have to break through the roof without compromising the integrity of the ship. It wasn't exactly the strongest stuff but he hoped that it would hold in long enough.
"Okay, I'm about to start this up guys, brace yourselves!" With the press of a few buttons, a loud sonic boom entered Otto's ears and the whole ship began to vibrate as it began to tilt upward to the sky.
"Steady guys!" The canine began sweating, making him lose his grip on the controls. But after regaining his composure, he set off the ignition and The Shadow began to take off toward the sky.
One step closer to revenge…
Soon enough, the crew was beyond Bothsiloth's atmosphere and in space. They had been freed from the clutches of an evil empire. But now that they had escaped Bothsiloth, a single question loomed over the team.
"Where do we go from here?" Lars questioned as he got up from his seat to check on Andre.
"As far away as we can…Like out of this system…" Otto looked at the radar and checked for any other planetary systems in the area. Only one other was within reaching distance: Lylat.
Why does that sound so familiar?
After eyeing the radar, he checked to see the local information of the planets that orbited the central star; Solar. A wide array of planets showed up, from an entirely frozen wasteland, to a toxic dump, there was a little bit of everything in the Lylat System. One planet stuck out however, it seemed to be fairly normal with a well rounded government and no corruption whatsoever. It seemed to be the best bet for the team.
"Guys, we're heading to Corneria…"
