Author's note: So.... I don't know what to say. To the maybe three people that read this, I'm going to be completely honest with you. Don't expect any chapters on a regular basis. It's been months, the next chapter comes as fast as I bother writing it. I'm busy with my own little world, totally my problem. And I'm sledom motivated to write unless it's three in the morning like now. So here's how it works. If you like this story, Read. If you like it enough, wait. I made a promise to myself, I'm finishing THIS one. So sorry if you don't want to read it like this, with random updates like this. I want to write as a hobby, I don't want it to turn into an obligation. Thanks, my couple of reviewers.
P.S. I'm still sorry about Chapter 2. It was just wrong, but I like it better now. Please reread it if you haven't yet. The story changed a bit.
P.P.S. No more one pages for me! This one was two pages!! lol. Really, that's one reason this may take a while.
"F-Fox McCloud? Don't think I've ever met someone with such fame, maybe infamy, but that's another story. So, uh..." Ethan simply stuttered, even he was a bit nervous meeting the hero of Lylat. "What would you be doing here?"
"I have an apartment here in the city now. Ever since the team broke up..."
Ethan hadn't heard much regarding Star Fox in a few years. Naturally, this startled him a bit.
"Broke up? What happened?" He almost shouted.
"Well... come on, I'll tell you on the way."
"Where are we going?"
"You wouldn't happen to know why that guy's after you, would you?"
"I killed someone important in the criminal underworld, and his friends kind of.... want me to know the feeling," Ethan shrugged.
"Bounty hunter? Don't get many of those around here. Speaking of which, I'll call the authorities to handle this guy. What brings you all the way out here?"
"Like I said, They want me dead, so I came here. I like the city, hard to find someone in a place like this."
"Apparently not. Anyway, who hired the ones like this guy to take you out?"
Ethan's expression dropped. He hadn't really thought about that, he really had no idea. "Um.. I, er, didn't look into that... why?"
"Would this help any?" Fox held up a holorecord. "I bet this would have, if not who it is, a clue where to find them."
Ethan nodded as they started to walk off.
"So, where are we going?"
"My apartment. I have access to the military's records, I think I can at least find you a start."
"Thanks. Now what happened to the team? I was last around about a year or so after that whole Dinosaur Planet thing and everything was fine.. By the way, did they ever come up with a better name for that?"
Fox chuckled a bit. "Yeah, Sauria. Has a better ring, eh? The team..." He then began to explain the last few years, including the Aparoids and the separation of Star Fox. He merely mentioned that Krystal left the team. He then described the Anglar invasion and the aftermath. "...The team didn't last long after that. Slippy found himself a family, and went back to his fiancée on Aquas. And though Falco won't like to admit it, I think Katt finally got him to settle down,"
"What about Krystal?" The two stopped their walk. Fox stared towards the ground, silent.
"Right. Sorry about that. I suppose it's a touchy subject," After a few moments, they began walking again. They soon reached an apartment complex and walked up some stairs to number 17. Fox unlocked the door and lead Ethan inside.
"What do you plan on doing with that disc?" Ethan inquired as Fox pulled the holorecord from his pocket and taking it to a computer in the corner of the room.
"Well, if I take this and insert it into my computer...." Fox replied as he did so. "Then access records, any files on-disc..." Ethan watched this over Fox's shoulder as he typed away, scanning through the files. At one point, he stopped Fox, pointing to something.
"Wait, look. These don't look like they were recorded and given as orders, so to speak. It's more like they recorded a transmission, like to a ship,"
"Right. And it should have recorded the location the transmission's source.... Perfect! It came from an on-planet building, much easier to find." Fox read through the statistics, pointing out the coordinates.
"And that planet would be?"
"Kew."
"And if I go there, It's open season on my ass." Ethan stepped back and took a deep breath.
"You going?"
"Hell, I have to. It's either that or wait for them to finally catch me. I can't fight off every bounty hunter out there. But I'm not stupid. I'll be here for a few days before I do anything."
"Yeah. Best to prepare yourself instead of diving headlong into death. Here," Fox said as he slid a sheet of paper and pen towards Ethan, "I'll tell you if I find anything else."
Ethan scribbled down his comm number and and hangar location then started towards the door. "Thanks, really. I gotta go. This won't be easy, I need to get ready."
Fox looked at the note as Ethan left. He read over the numbers, and then looked at the name. Ethan had written his last name as well. It was Kalyn.
"Ethan Kalyn... I know I've heard of you before..."
