The planet was red, as red as a red headed person's hair. So it was orange. Pretty desolate too.
The Star Fox team was in the mess hall, but they weren't making a mess, they were eating. Eating food, to be precise.
"Are you sure we're safe here?" Asked the naked frog boy, "I heard this planet is haunted by a robot goddess-demon!"
Falco sighed, "Slippy, if you piss yourself again…"
"What do you mean?" Krystal asked as Fay tried to retain the memory of what Slippy looked like before he got robot censored.
"I heard that long ago The Predecessors tried to colonize The Red Planet," he x-planed whilst Rob played creepy music to set the mood, "one of them was a chancellor, one was a mentalist, and there was also the prince of Egypt. They had an acrobatic robot, but she gained sapience and killed them all.."
Peppy stopped eating his creamed corn to say, "Slippy, that's ridiculous."
"Perhaps not," said Krystal, "I sense something out there. Something full of frustration…and loneliness."
"But how can you sense it if it's a robot?" Asked Fox.
"A robot with feelings!" Interjected the frog that still hadn't bothered putting any clothes on. He then got up to put away his dishes or something and stopped when he saw it. He saw Fox and Krystal were playing footsie under the table, meaning he was watching multiple feet interact with each other.
"Scans indicate blood flow being diverted." Blurped Rob.
Fay's eyes got big as she watched the pixilation over Slippy's crotch expand.
"Slippy, you gawd dang little pervert!" Peppy scolded, "Put some stinkin' clothes on already."
Slippy dropped his dishes with gravity and sprinted to his quarters while Fay stared at his ass.
Miyu, having seen enough of Slippy's nudeness, changed the subject back to the mysteries of the planet, "Before I dropped out of college to become a pilot, I studied history, culture and stuff. I wouldn't mind taking an exploration of the planet whilst we be here."
I'd rather explore Slippy. Fay thought. Krystal didn't know exactly what Fay was thinking, but she knew what she was feeling. "Fay," she said, "have some more space-juice, you seem to be thirsty."
Fay probably blushed but it was hard to tell with all her fur covering her skin.
"Well, exploring does sound more fun than fighting Starwolf for the millionth time." Fox said as he stood up.
"Error," blurbed the robot, "you have conflicted with Starwolf nine times, ten if you count playing volleyball against them, eleven if you also count the dream you had about spanking Wolf O'Donnell with a golf club."
"I told you that in confidence!" Fox yelled at Peppy.
"I eavesdropped." Stated Rob.
"I think we could all use some time outside of a spaceship." Falco said with his voice.
"Clothing detected," borbed the robot, "anti-nudification program ceased."
Wolf looked at the radar, "Where are you, Foxy…" he muttered.
"Why do we need to defeat him and his friends?" Inquired the panther that was named after his species.
"Because screw them all!" And he slammed a fist.
"I would love to screw those ladies…" Panther chuckled.
Leon stifled the urge to backhand the feline, "There's more to life than your pointless physical and romantic emotions!"
Wolf turned around dramatically to face them, "He's right!" He growled. "However," he said as he turned back to look at the ship's radar screen thingy, "penetration is a form of dominance…"
His mind was now pondering over Fox's booty…
Team Star Fox, which now included Miyu, Katt and Fay, set out to explore La Planète Rouge. Fox was wearing a black tank top and gray camo cargo shorts. In fact, they were all wearing similar clothes in different colors, except Peppy and Slippy. Peppy was wearing his usual trench coat and stuff. Slippy was wearing a t-shirt because he didn't have muscular biceps to show off. But the fact that he was wearing anything at all was a miracle.
Rob stayed aboard the ship because who cares. The Great Fox stayed behind because it's a ship. Duh.
They walked for their legs as it carried them yonder terrain. There was air, for The Predecessors had sent Carrian moss to go grow and make oxygen.
"So who are these predecessors you mentioned?" Fay asked Slippy.
"I don't know exactly, but I heard they were here before all us other creatures." He did reply.
"Supposedly," Miyu said, putting that unearned college degree to use, "they enslaved some of our ancestors before wiping themselves out with stupidity. Some say we look like a combination of them plus our ancestors."
"Well I don't believe in superstitious nonsense." Said Peppy.
"This is actually based on archeology and stuff."
Peppy said nothing and just farted without realizing it.
Soon they came across a crater with a thing in it. The thing was some manner of technology.
"It looks like some sort of probe or lander." Slippy said as they got closer.
"Doesn't look like anything I've even seen." Said old man Peppy.
"OH MY GOD BONES" Katt alarmed.
Leaning next to the probe was a skeleton in a space suit with "GALLAGHER" written on it. It had a hole in its chest.
"Look at the skull's face!" Miyu told the others, "It's a Predecessor. A human."
Most of them awed at the corpse, but not Falco, he was too cool. Also he noticed something metal atop the probe, "What's that?"
"It doesn't look like it's part of the lander." Observed Slippy.
Fox climbed atop the top of the lander and picked it up. As he studied it in his hands, suddenly part of it lit up and made a sound. A robot sound. Startled, Fox fell backwards off the lander. The metal object unfolded itself, revealing that it was a robot.
"Robot Goddess!" Slippy cried.
The robot stood on four limbs over Fox, the part that lit up seemed to be its eye, the only feature on its face. It looked over Fox up and down, then stood upon two legs, surveying the group.
"Oh I knew I should've smoked pot before we left!" Slippy whimpered, "What's that written on her leg?"
Fox looked at it's thigh and saw the letters "AMEE" on it.
"Amy?" He asked.
It looked down at him.
"Is that who you belong to?" He asked.
"Or is that your name, oh great goddess?" Slippy asked.
Saying nothing, the robot studied Fox. Using her x-ray vision, she discovered that he had two nipples on his chest. She squatted down and pinched them really hard.
"OW!
Amee then sprinted on all fours, doing a cool triple front flip over Falco before running away.
"Ow, my poor man-nipples!"
Krystal lifted up his shirt and looked at the damage. They sure were some hard pinched nipples alright. She didn't know what to do so she just kissed each of them.
"Some goddess she was," Katt said, "that was mean."
Fay noticed Slippy seemed scared so she put an arm around. She was a little worried about the robot but was mostly glad to have a reason to touch Slippy, even if he wasn't naked at the moment.
"Aha!" Said Wolf O'Donnell, "I've got it!"
"You found them?" Asked Leon.
"No, but I just realized we should probably look for them on the planet they were going towards."
"Why didn't you think of that sooner?" Asked Panther.
"I got bored and looked at the feed from the cameras in the showers,"
"What?!" Asked the green one.
"Why are there cameras in showers?" the black one demanded to know.
Wolf simply gave Panther a wicked smirk before continuing, "After I rubbed one out, I was able to think more clearly."
Panther didn't appreciate the breach of privacy, but he was glad that his awesome bod was being put to good use, even when he wasn't trying.
Leon took pride in being asexual, knowing he didn't have to worry about such useless distractions.
"What planet were they headed toward?" Asked Panther.
"The red one."
"Some say it's haunted." Said creepy chameleon guy.
"I guess we're going to find out…"
AMEE stopped and looked behind herself. No sign of pursuit. She had no idea how long she had been there. Her power cell was only going to last six months, so she shut herself off completely. 'Twas Fox's grasping and picking up of her that reactivated her.
She launched the flying drone on her back and sent it to where she had been resting. She did a scan of Gallagher's remains and determined it had been approximately two thousand earth years. She piloted her drone to follow the tracks of the way they became there. The creatures that found her resembled creatures of earth yet were surprisingly evolved for only two millennia of evolution. If they were earth creatures, then it would seem she had a means of leaving the planet. Now all she needed was a motive to do so…
"This is Rob, 64, come in Fox" they heard over the radio headsets.
"Ugh, what is it?"
"Scans of this planet indicate there is a structure located a few clicks south-east from your location. A pyramid. Scans are unable to penetrate it. Beep-boop."
Fox rubbed his tender chest in contemplation.
"I'm tired," said Peppy, "let's go back to the ship."
"I'd like to see the peer of mid." Said Miyu, what with her interest in archeology.
"But what if there are mummies there?" Asked Slippy.
"And what if they want to pinch our nipples?" Joked Falco.
Fox shot a look at him while Katt chuckled.
"I sense emotion coming from where Rob said the pyramid is." Said Krystal while still being.
"Peppy and Slippy can go back to the ship," Fox said, "If Miyu goes to the pyramid, it shouldn't be alone."
Krystal, Falco and Katt volunteered to go with Miyu while Fox and Fay accompanied the frog and bunny. Fay hoped to get some time alone with Slippy, while Fox hoped to get some time with an ice pack on his chest.
