Chapter 2

Fox awoke. It was the day after Pepper briefed Coyote about his new mission. Fox had been having nightmares ever since he had heard of Krystal becoming a bounty hunter. He walked out on the porch of his apartment around 26 stories up.

I wish I could take it all back. If she did come back, I would apologize for everything I did.

"Up early Fox?" Falco's voice pulled him out of his trance. He lived in the room next to him.

"Yeah, just pondering," he replied.

"Krystal again?"

Fox nodded his head as he walked back into his room. Falco shook his head.

"You have to let her go, she's gone, off to an entirely different system," Falco explained. "Do it for your own good." Fox just sat down and looked at the table he was sitting next to. Falco just shook his head again and picked up a newspaper that said: LCEF HAS DONE IT AGAIN! He then read about how the LCEF had taken down the drug dealers. Then he saw Coyote in the picture.

"Hey man, I know this dude!" exclaimed Falco. "I met him on Zoness one time! Hey Fox, check this out!" Falco handed Fox the newspaper. "I think he is also Krystal's brother," he added. Just as he said that hope rushed through Fox like a river.

If we find him, maybe he can help!

"Do you have any idea about where he is?" Fox asked Falco.

"Not at the moment, but he does work around here on Corneria," he replied. "And I do know how to contact him, so maybe we could find him,"

"Might as well start now," Fox replied. The two then got dressed and headed out.

"We're going to what?!"

Coyote just got finished explaining their new mission to his teammates. Mark was still trying to wrap his head around the idea.

"Bring back the old Starfox team?" he yelled. "Is the general crazy? Fox is completely incapable of flying because his girlfriend le-."

Coyote glared at him. He despised anyone who spoke against his sister.

"S-sorry," Mark said.

"Yeah, watch it," Coyote ordered.

Coyote then explained their gameplan: they would find Falco and use him to find everyone else.

"Sounds good, what do you two think?" said Rick. The other two nodded their heads and they were off. Then at the moment Coyote's device on his wrist started buzzing. Coyote then touched the touchpad and saw that Falco was trying to contact him. He told his teammates to stay where they were and he stepped away.

"Coyote, is that you?" asked Falco through the speaker.

"Sure is, how you doing?" he replied. Coyote tapped a button on his wrist and a headset popped out. He put it on for privacy. He listened to the call and found out that Fox and Falco had been looking for his team as well. They would meet at the center of the city.

"Alright boys we're off," he said to his teammates.

They then all at the same time pressed the button in the middle of their suits. They started to fold up and shift. When it was done shifting, it formed a medium sized backpack on their back. They then pressed another button on their newly formed packs and they projected an image of a floating motorcycle, then it became a solid form.

"Plasma is awesome," commented Steven.

They hopped on and whirred away.

Their simple bike ride turned sour, some criminals noticed them and started to chase them on the freeway. They all accelerated, but so did the felons. One came up next to Coyote and pulled out a gun. He simply pulled out his own and shot the engine of the criminal's motorcycle.

What he didn't take into account was that it was going to explode. It sent him flying and the felon's bike hit an oil tanker and started leaking fuel. Worst of all a fire started near it and caught the oil.

"HOLY SHI-," yelled Coyote as he swept up by Mark, but he knew it wasn't enough, the fire had almost reached the truck.

So this is how it ends? Aw shit! He thought.

"BRACE!" he yelled. Coyote pulled up a blue shield with hopes to save them, but he knew that this was futile.

Goodbye cruel world…..

Then the fire reached it and….
