A venomian pilot screeched loudly as his fighter spun out of control. "BLAKE!" Wolf cried from his ship. "OHMYGOD... WE'RE GONNA LOSE HIM!!!" "GOODBYE WOLF!" Blake cried. "I'll see ya again...someday..." His words were cut off by a loud explosion. Blake was gone. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Wolf howled, slamming his fist into his controls. Losing his temper, he turned around and headed for Andrew's mothership. "OIKONNY!!!" He yelled madly as he stormed into Andrew's office aboard the ship. Andrew stared at him. His eyes were cold. His face was planted in a firm scowl. His jaw was clenched angrily. This was not the same Andrew that served on StarWolf three years ago... "What, O'Donnel?" Even his VOICE had grown to intimidate. He was a carving copy of his uncle.... "Andrew," Wolf began, "My brother...is dead." Oikonny merely nodded his head. "Sir, things aren't working now... we should just go back to Venom..." "NEVER!" Andrew screeched. "This is my destiny!" "Your destiny was to kill every single one of your men?!" Wolf snapped. "Look, Pigma is dead! Leon is paralyzed! My own little BROTHER was just killed! This CANNOT continue. ENOUGH OF THIS!" "Is this treachery, O'Donnel?" Andrew asked, his eyes burning into Wolf's. Wolf then knew what he had to do...not that he had much choice. "Yes, sir," he replied. "It is." He then turned and began walking out of the office. "GUARDS!!" Andrew yelled into his comm-unit. "ARREST WOLF O'DONNEL, IMMEDIATELY!" --------------------------------------------- Wolf ran as fast as he could. Despite his lack of breath, and the pains in his sides, he kept running. He didn't really have a choice. Once in the docking bay, he boarded his Wolfen IV, and took off into space, heading for Corneria. Before you could say Lylat, he had a four fleets of starfighters on his tail. The mothership was close behind. Gaining speed, two of the fleets broke off, getting in front of him. They then made a U-turn, coming back towards him. Wolf was surrounded. "Surrender, O'Donnel!" Andrew cried. "NEVER!" Wolf answered. "Do you have a choice?!" Andrew asked. Wolf looked around. He was surrounded. He DIDN'T have a choice. Sighing, he raked his hand through his gray fur. "Very well," he muttered. "I surrender." --------------------------------------------- Wolf was brought, in chains, before Andrew Oikonny. They glared at each other with pride and anger. "The penalty for treachery is death," Andrew began. "Too bad... you had a great career..." Wolf growled silently. As Oikonny stood up. "He shall die at dawn!" he announced.

It's not incredibly bad, but I don't advise younger children to read this. Thank you. ~Flia~ --------------------------------------------- "Prepare for battle!" The cry was heard throughout the military spaceport, as fighter pilots hurriedly boarded their crafts. It was official... President Dornas confirmed it...it was WAR. Aboard Great Fox, Fox and his wingmen hurriedly donned their flight suits and began running toward the docking bay. As they were running, Falco's wrist communicator beeped. Sighing as he ran, he pressed the small button on the side. "Yeah?" He asked, panting. "Fal," a feminine voice replied, "It's Katt. Just wanted to say two things... Good luck... and tell Slippy THANKS A LOT FOR DRIVING OUT MY LIEUTENANT!" Slippy, who was way behind, panting, frowned, his face full of remorse. "Copy that, Katt," Falco replied. "Good luck." --------------------------------------------- "Peoples," Flia said, listening to her comm-unit. "Some interesting news. You're not gonna believe this...but...Wolf O'Donnel has been arrested by Venomian forces." Katt quirked an eyebrow in confusion. "What?" She asked. "Why?" "For treachery, according to my sources...whoa..." "What?" Alton inquired. "He's been sentenced to death..." Ears shot up, eyes widened. "Oikonny sentenced Wolf to death for treachery??" Katt mused. "This makes no sense." Katt had encountered Wolf before. In her eyes, he was a conceited, evil creep, totally loyal to the Venomian cause. He was even worse then that...for after their brief encounter, she feared no one more than he. --------------------------------------------- Katt had been abducted at one time by Andross' forces. As she was dragged to her holding cell, she had seen Wolf O'Donnel leaning against the wall. He had stared at her with those cold eyes...which seemed to be made of marbles. "Stop," He had said to the guards. "Let..ME take care of THIS prisoner." Leon Powalski, who was standing beside him, had laughed evilly as Katt was thrown into Wolf's arms. Wolf had smiled at her, as she stared back at him in horror. "You're coming with me," he had said, grabbing her, picking her up, and beginning to carry her. "LET ME GO!" Katt had screamed, kicking like mad. "No," Wolf replied. "You're coming with me. Believe me...you won't ever forget this night." Katt had screamed louder than before, then finally managed to reach up and claw Wolf right in the eye. "AGH!" Wolf had howled, "I CAN'T SEE! YOU -----!!!!" Wriggling free, Katt had run as far and as fast as she could, until she approched the hangar bay. She had looked around. Where was her ship? Sighing, she had boarded one of the Venomian fighters and got herself out of there. Author: FLIONESS Subject: Not a Choice pt. 3 Posted: FEBRUARY 07, 1999 17:42 Dawn. It was time. Wolf O'Donnell was dragged into the execution room, his face pale as the whitest snow. Today he would take his last breath. Then he would be eternally judged....and likely condemned for all the wrong things he had done. For the first time in ages, tears began running down his cheek. He was, for the first time in his life, afraid. He was seated in the chair, surrounded by Andrew's guards. He knew better than to make a break for it. It was hopeless. He looked across the room, at the switch...the switch which would turn off his light, leading him to eternal darkness. Words were spoken, yet Wolf could not hear them. He could hear nothing but the fearful beating of his own heart. But what he heard next was louder than his heart and the voices put together. A loud, terrifying noise, so full of sound and fury that the building seemed to shake. The base was under attack. Amongst all the confusion, Wolf somehow managed to get himself free, running away without anyone else taking notice. They were too concerned about the attack. "Wolf," a feminine voice called him from his comm-unit. "Yeah?" Wolf asked, still running. "Who is this?" "Awwwww, Wolf," the girl replied. "I'm hurt...right here in my heart. It's me, Chamille." Wolf's jaw dropped. "CHAMIE???!" he cried. "That's CHAMILLE," the voice snapped. "Look, get to the hangar bay and get outta there, QUICK. I can't keep these guys busy much longer." "Gotcha, Cham," Wolf replied, smiling. "And Leon thought you were worthless..." --------------------------------------------- "Let's go, guys--er--girls!" Alton cried, his ship barrelrolling with delight. "SilverStreak ready to jet!" "Catspaw comin' at ya!" Katt added, her pink ship somersaulting into position. "Medianoche aqui...all systems go!" Perria squealed delightfully. "ManeLion roaring and ready to go!" Flia added, giving a thumbs-up signal to Alton. He returned the signal and winked playfully at her. "OK..." Katt said firmly. "Let's scratch 'em!" "Yeah....CLAW SQUAD!!" --------------------------------------------- "Dude....what a SHOT!!" Bill cried, staring at the silver ship which flew with the Claw Squad. "Isn't that Alton?" "Yes," Fox replied, taking down about 5 fighters at once. "He is quite impressive..." "YEAH," Bill retorted. "You would be a fool not to consider letting him into the StarFox team." "Fox," Slippy interrupted, "Get this guy off--ZzZ" "Think about it, Fox," Bill continued, ignoring Slippy. "Peppy could be seriously injured, or killed, if he remains on the team...and you've already found the proper replacement." Fox sighed, for a moment not paying any attention to what was going on around him. "FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX!!!!!!" "OK!" Fox snarled. "I'm comin'! Keep your pants on!"
