Above Fortuna, Great Fox circled in a high orbit. On the bridge of the well-known vessel, The Star Fox team stood around the "Mission isle" as Slippy toad called it back when Andross tried to invade the Lylat System, it was a table about five feet long and was used for every mission, equipped with a holoprojector, That had files on planets, targets, and people. The way got its name was because when it was activated rose in the center of the bridge like an island. Sure, it was dumb but it had stuck around for all these years as dumb names always do.
Around it were Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Krystal, and Slippy Toad. Gen. Peppy Hare had contacted them that Andrew Okinny had made a bold raid on Zoness and stole several odd technology components, compatible but far too complex for someone like Andrew to use.
Peppy sent Star Fox along with Katt Monroe to bring him back to Corneria not only to answer for his crimes but also to end the threat from Venom for good.
"I just don't see what he wants these parts for. A particle smasher, two Flux accelerators, components for a Hubble system scanner, a warp gate and parts I've never heard of before, I bet he doesn't even know what they are used for, Why does he need them?" asked Slippy.
"Yeah, how he has the brains to fly a starfighter I'll never know. Which begs the question is someone else pulling his strings?" Katt Asked.
"We'll figure that out later, right now let's have a look the surface of Fortuna. We got lucky no in storms in the area for now but we cannot expect that to last so we have to strike now here's the plan. Peppy said Andrew has built an installation near Fortuna's North Pole, unfortunately, he has a shield in place that keeps us from flying in while it's up and there is some magnetic interference giving radar an electronic blind so we have no idea of what his defenses are." Said Fox pointing to Andrews base on the hologram.
"Our first goal is to take out one of his three energy towers that way we can get partial radar then we can see what he has got waiting for any unwanted guests. Then we'll go for a two-pronged attack from the air and the ground Krystal, Katt and I will be on the ground in the first attack then when the shield is down Falco and Slippy will strike from the sky in the Arwings that might keep him busy long enough for us to get inside and capture Andrew."
R.O.B spoke up "Message from Lucy Hare Priority three."
"Thanks, R.O.B Patch it through." Said Fox. The holoprojector powered up and Lucy's head hovered in mid-air "Howdy Star Fox Could ya use an extra hand?"
"Sure good to see you what brings you here? I thought you were visiting Peppy." Said Krystal Warmly
"I was but I have midterms this week to pass out so I had to come back early." She replied ", but when I heard about Zoness and that you were on the trail I figured I'd stop by." "It is good to see you, Lucy you can dock And refuel In the hanger bay we'll bring you up to speed, then you can join Falco and Slippy. The mission starts at 2035." Said Fox.
That night three Landmasters rolled across the frozen planes of Fortuna. Krystal looked out her view screen, as her radar was nothing but static from the magnetic forces of the North Pole. There was a light snow falling outside that looked like stars in the glare of the headlights before landing on her visual sensors and melting on them.
Above her, the underside of the cloud glowed slightly pink. Patches of stars added their beauty in the night sky. It's so beautiful Fox don't you think? It reminds me of that New Year's Eve long ago. Do you remember? She asked.
Yes, I do you made it the best night of my life. He replied
OK, I don't think I need to hear anymore can we focus on the mission, please? Katt Interrupted
The three had agreed to use Krystal's telepathic abilities and not risk them being caught because of a radio transmission Sorry we're getting close the coordinates we received from Gen. Peppy. Andrew's base should be over that rise let's slow to half speed, Check your G diffuser system. Fox ordered
Katt Monroe here, all systems in the green. replied Katt
Krystal here, I'm fine. Krystal answered.
When they reached the top of the hill, they saw their objective. The base was three hundred miles long with no walls a few anti-aircraft laser canons, twenty Landmasters and a handful of fighters and the center a tower about five stories tall, covering it was a pink energy shield. The whole base looked like Andrew did not intend to stay for long or else he would have better defenses.
Now, this is new, since when does Andrew campout on one world and not try to invade it what the hell is going on here? Katt asked
Not sure but for now we have the upper hand split up the towers have ribbons that can be traced back to their origin keep in contact. if you find a tower take it out remember; The Arwings won't be able to attack until the shield is down Ordered, Fox.
Yes, sir! they both replied.
Krystal turned her Landmaster to the east, hovered over a glacier then continued on her way. Katt had to double back for two kilometers then headed northwest, Fox went to the west getting a reading on a tower to the southwest. Be for too long though Krystal got a reading on her radar looking down from her view screen, she was surprised to see a spike in the theta radiation band.
Fox, are you seeing this? My Radar is going crazy from that spike whatever their doing in there is going to happen soon. Krystal said.
It gets worse we got a storm blowing out there and it started about the same time as that spike Krys see if you can confirm with Great Fox. Said Katt.
Copy that, Slippy can you hear me? Check and see if the climate control device is working properly, please? Krystal asked. It took only a few minutes for Silppy to check.
Confirmed it's working fine hey it's looking pretty bad there if this keeps up we won't be able to give you three air support. Slippy said.
Krystal she could feel his concern. I know said Krystal but don't worry we'll be ok just be ready to come when we need you. As the conversion came to an end Krystal found had reached the tower, the storm by this time had become almost blinding she quickly armed her weapon system.
Tower sighted I'm bringing it down now! Said Krystal She aimed for the top and tried to lock a smart bomb but the snow was too thick. "Can't get a positive lock it will take hours to shoot it down with my lasers think, what have got that could bring it down." She said aloud, and then quickly scrolled through her heavy armaments she soon found her answer a nova bomb. The nova bomb was a first-generation smart bomb, twice as powerful as its descendant was and more destructive. Krystal weighed the options at close range she and her Landmaster would be incinerated but if she didn't hurry Andrew would escape. "Forgive me, Fox, I have no choice." Krystal backed up at maximum speed loaded the bomb aimed closed her eyes and fired. A blue sphere shot from the muzzle one two three four five now! She squeezed the trigger on her steering yoke her viewscreen went white from the explosion, Krystal screamed as her Landmaster was picked up from the ground from the blast and tossed across the snowy landscape as the tower crashed to the ground. "
KRYSTAL KRYSTAL KRYSTAL COME IN!" Krystal slowly came around and opened her eyes. The inside of her Landmaster she looked about the cockpit her screens all said emergency power, sparks popped out from broken consoles her headset was in her lap.
"Wha-What? Who's there?" she asked
"Krystal if you can hear me stay put don't move I'm close to your position your Landmaster is offline I'm on my way to jumpstart it repeat stay put do not move!" Said the voice again it sounded like a radio transmission.
Krystal sat up and rubbed her head her fingers met with something slick she pulled her fingers away and looked at them her blue fur stained with her blood. What happened? There was tower I fired a nova bomb—then she heard a knocking.
"Krystal! Can you hear me? Hang on I'm coming!" A male voice said worriedly.
"Fox I'M HERE I'M OK FOX! She shouted but there was no reply, she tensed and reached out with her mind but could not. "I Must've hit my head pretty hard if I can't use my telepathy. I wonder if my commutations are working."
she put on her headset "Fox are you there?" Out in the storm, an engine roared to life, all the lights and power came back on in Krystal's Landmaster. "Well, I guess that answers that question."
On the way back, Krystal explained to Fox what had happened. "That was a dangerous foolish thing to do Krystal! What were you thinking!? What if you got killed by the blast?" He asked the anger was clear in his voice.
"I didn't have the time to ask you for advice Commander McCloud I had to do what I thought was right. What would you have done in my place?" Krystal Snapped back at him frustrated. He sighed,
"We'll talk about later, right now we got to go back and help Katt. Said Fox.
"Understood, what is the situation so far?" She asked.
"The shield is down as expected, we have partial radar but no one is running to the defense. Also, the scanners are detecting what seems to be a black hole or something like it is pulling the tower apart from the inside. Katt is on her way there now; In view of this we are now going in for a rescue operation Great Fox is coming to back us up." "Under—Fox I...Think I'm picking up a life form fifteen yards from us dead ahead you see it?"
"Confirmed Krystal maybe it's someone from Andrews's base. Increase speed whoever it is will need our help fast; they'll die out there in minutes." Said Fox concerned.
"Yes, sir I'm right behind you." Krystal replied. "Were getting close FOX WATCH OUT YOUR RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM!" She shouted the blip on her dodged Fox's Landmaster and right in front of hers.
"NO! shit computer Full stop now!" She screamed, but it was too late. She looked up just in time to see something hit her Landmaster then it stopped. She grabbed her first aid kit, parka and exited. The storm was starting to go die down so she had no trouble making it whoever she had rundown. "Please don't be dead I couldn't stop in..." Her words died on her lips and she dropped to her knees, not believing what she saw. Lying in the snow unconscious but alive was an alien.
Krystal wrapped her Parka around the alien and scanned for life signs. he was alive barely. "Fox, Hurry I need your help he won't las much longer!"
Falcos' voice came over the intercoms. "Fox, we are closing in on your location. We picked up on several escape pods leaving the planet as we broke through the stratosphere. Do you want us to pursue?
Fox had made it to Krystal's side by now and was helping her get the alien to her Landmaster. "No, Let them go We have a casualty down here! Land the Great Fox so we can Board."
as they loaded the body in her Landmaster she looked in his eyes. "Fox what will we do?"Fox looked back in hers. "I wish I knew Krys. I wish I knew."
