THE VENOMIAN GAMES (PART 1) By: Trenton Fleury (a.k.a. Drake McCloud) (NOTICE: to let all you readers know I DID NOT try to relate any of this to SEPTEMBER 11th I just wanted to make it an ACTION kind of story) (NOTICE 2: THIS STORY CONTAINS LANGUAGE AND DESCRIBES VIOLENT SCENES) (((((PROLOGUE))))) Today was going to be a day Corneria would be in a total "Civil" war. People who had lived in apartment places that were many stories had to evacuate to floor level. The CPD (Cornerian Police Department) were scattered in all parts of Corneria with the help from the Katina police. There were Cornerian soldiers on the tops of buildings with big rocket launchers and other weapons but what everybody didn't know including the Star Fox Team was that the Star Wolf Team was in Corneria City hiding out. They were waiting for the right time to set off some explosives they planted in the Cornerian Town Hall (they also planted cameras in the Cornerian Base). Andross could now watch Corneria from Venom and tell the Star Wolf Team Corneria's every move. (((((CHAPTER 1))))) "Unit one report in over" General Pepper said in his com-link "unit one everything is looking good here ...over" responded Bill Grey over his com-link. On the south side of Corneria City General Pepper rounded up the Cornerian army and got them in their positions (because right now anything could happen). After General Pepper and his army had moved out, the Star Wolf Team moved into their positions heading for the Cornerian Town Hall (they wanted to find any valuable information to take back with them to Venom before blowing it up). When they were walking over towards the Town Hall they noticed three Cornerian cops guarding the place so Wolf told Leon, Pigma, and Andrew to split up and keep there eyes open in case they pull their guns out and line up for a shot. As Wolf made his way to the entrance of the Town Hall one of the three cops stopped him "just where do you think you're going?" the cop said very angrily and very suspicious "I need to do something now let me the hell through!" said Wolf very angrily "and who the hell do you think you are to give a cop orders like that pal!" the second cop on the right said pointing his gun at Wolf "well first of all" said wolf evily wanting to tell the cops who he was and kill all three of them "my name is Wolf 'O' Donnell and i'm going to kill all three of you in a minute." After Wolf had anounced that the three cops all lined up their guns at Wolf "DON'T MOVE!" the third cop yelled "PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND PUT THEM BEHIND YOUR HEAD" the third one said again then there was a tense moment of silence. As the moment of silence was going on Wolf spotted Leon quietly coming in the scene from behind the three cops and at that Wolf gave him a signal "I don't think so" he said to the cops as Leon came from behind slitting one of the cops throats making blood spill out of it. Then as the second cop turned around to see who killed him Wolf kicked the gun out of the cops hand, grabbed him by the throat, and broke it causing it to make a nasty cracking sound. Then finally as the third cop was about to shoot at Wolf, Pigma came in- to the scene throwing a dagger right into his forehead jabbing right in between his eyes causing the last cop to drop dead on his back. As they entered the Town Hall they had made sure they planted the explosives in the right places "ok we are good to go" said Leon letting Wolf know "alright" Wolf responded. As Wolf looked around for information he had found nothing. All there was in the whole Town Hall was four very long metal tables with a lot of metal chairs "SON- OF-A-BITCH" Wolf yelled in complete anger "THERE IS NOTHING HERE!" he yelled again then kicking one of the metal chairs "we'll help you look" said Pigma after him not wanting to anger him anymore. After about five mintues of looking around in every little corner of the Cornerian Town Hall Andrew came into the scene with wide eyes and shaking nervously "GUYS!" he said out loud "there is a whole shit load of cops and Cornerian soldiers heading this way. There were some residents that actually saw what was going on and they reported it" "ah fuck" Wolf said now smashing his fist on the table not kicking the chair again "what should we do?" asked Andrew ceriously. Then after about a minute of deciding what to do Wolf gave the rest of his team an evil look "blow them to hell" then at that Leon set the explosives to "remote" then they evacuated out the back window just as they saw the fleet of cops and soldiers heading towards the enterance of the Town Hall. As Wolf and the rest of the team quickly glanced in the window they noticed they were all in the Town Hall searching around for anybody but one cop did see them peek through the window and he was constantly yelling "OVER HERE! OVER HERE!" then two other soldiers and one cop came and looked and saw all of them "GO AROUND TO THE BACK NOW!" yelled the soldier that was a black lab. When five soldiers went around to the back they spotted them instantly and shot at them all hitting only the ground at first "GO GO GO" Wolf yelled at his teammates then they all took cover behind a shed that was behind the Town Hall. As the soldiers were heading towards it still shooting Andrew made the first move "here I go" he said as he ran out with two blasters set on "high" he had only managed to shoot two of the soldiers cause the rest went for cover. Andrew then held up three fingers to let Leon know there was three left. Leon next went out holding on to some vines on a BIG tree that was next to the shed he then ran down the side of the shed, pushed himself off the shed, then kicked two of them in the neck causing their necks to break. As for the last soldier Wolf and Pigma took care of them by beating them to death (i'm NOT going into that). Then finally all the cops and soldiers from inside the Town Hall were shooting at them wildly from all windows and at that Wolf gave Leon the signal to blow up the building "NOW LEON!" then Leon pressed a button on the remote control sending the soldiers and cops to fly out the window covered in flames and for the Town Hall the explosion was so big it sent the Star Wolf Team to fly back as well. After the explosion was done with and the flames were gone from it the Star Wolf team members sat back and had a good laugh. (((((CHAPTER 2))))) It was now panic time for Corneria City as that explosion happend. When the General was informed by the explosion he sent the Star Fox Team down there this time to investigate along with the help of five more Cornerian soldiers. When they arrived at what was suppose to be the Town Hall all that was left of the Town Hall was a lot of small fires, a couple of big pieces of it, and dead soldiers and cops. Fox and the rest of his teammates were in total shock and silence at by what they saw "oh shit, shit, shit" Fox whispered to himself as he walked closer to the scene. Fox then looked back at his teammates with an angry and sad look thinking he had failed because he should've been there "Fox there was nothing you could've done" Peppy said to him softly trying to reassure him "and we don't even know who did this" said Falco after- wards. The Star Wolf Team was also watching them as they stood there not feeling bad for him one bit. Fox then spoke into his com-link "general the Town Hall is completely blown up and is now in smoke" "oh no...alright report back to me later" the general said and at that Wolf and his team moved in with their next move. As the star Fox Team headed back towards the center of Corneria City they all could hear some sort of beeping sound coming from three cars "can you guys hear that?" asked Slippy in ceriosity "yeah I do" responded Fox and as they walked a little closer to all three cars they blew up in front of them blowing the teammates backwards and hitting the ground and right when that happend the Star Wolf Team ran across to their next destination. When they got up Peppy looked to his right and could lightly spot Pigma through the smoke and fire "PIGMA!" he yelled shooting his blaster still trying to get him from betraying James McCloud in Venom "I'LL GET YOU TRAITOR!" he yelled afterwards when he was out of range "so the Star Wolf Team is here" Fox said angrily pulling his two blasters out. Meanwhile back in the center of Corneria City Pepper had his hands full dealing with scared residents and ordering around his army of soldiers. As General Pepper was talking to Fox on his com-link he glanced to his right and saw what looked like a female chameleon walk up to him frightend (which was Leon in disguise) "help me please" she(he) said looking very scared there is someone in there "ok ok calm down mam" Pepper said falling for Leon's evil scheme. As he walked toward an empty little grocerie store it blew up in his face sending Pepper back "AAAAH FOX GET DOWN HERE" he cried as he was saying this in his com-link "OH SHIT!" Fox said after hearing that "LET'S MOVE MOVE MOVE!" he yelled again as him and his teammates ran to where Pepper was. As General Pepper slowly got up he saw the chameleon in a Venom uniform knowing it was Leon when he saw his face "YOU" he said pulling out his blaster he carried with him "LEON" "that's my name" Leon said afterwards shooting him in the side of his chest causing him to drop on his side. When he slowly opened his eyes when he was on his side in pain there was no Leon in site (completely vanished) as he saw the Star Fox Team along with soldiers running towards him the pain from his wound slowly knocked him out. Then Fox and Peppy ran up to him "he's still got a pulse" Peppy said worrying that the general might not make it "GET SOME PARAMEDICS DOWN HERE" Fox yelled then two paramedics came running into the scene with a bed. They placed him on the bed and before rushing him off to the hospital Fox sopke to him "general...we will take care of who did this" he said "Fox...it..wa-...was Leon" Pepper then said and he went silent "WE HAVE TO GO NOW" one of the doctors said as he quickly rushed him to the hospital. As Fox watched the doctors rush him to the hospital he stood there teary-eyed thinking he was now just gone never coming back "WHAT NOW" Fox said (sort of yelling) crying "I FEEL LIKE I'M LETTING MY FATHER DOWN" he said again putting his face in his paws. The rest of the team was silent not knowing what to say as they were feeling what he felt. Then from out of nowhere he could hear a voice "Fox" the voice said "Fox" it said again "father?" said Fox in a crying voice "Fox don't give up now...be strong Fox...come on m'boy" then at that Fox got up and slowly brang his head up to his teammates and the soldiers that were there. They all saw his complete anger "come on guys it's time to think of a plan" he said in a demanding voice. After discussing a plan with his fellow teammates they went to the armory and stocked up on weapons, explosives, and other things and went to where they knew they would be next (the Cornerian Command Center). (((((CHAPTER 3)))))[THIS PART IS LIKE "THE MATRIX" ONLY WITH ANIMALS AND STUFF] When they left the armory carrying a big bag they walked down the streets to the Command Center. As they did this they all had looks on their faces letting venomians (well I guess anybody) not to fuck with them. As they arrived at the enterance they noticed 15 venomian soldiers holding up shotguns and hiding behind pillars "FREEZE!" one yelled out. As there was a moment of silence the Star Fox teammates looked at eachother then Fox had enough of all of this. They all pulled out their guns and Fox very angry was ready "smoke 'em" he said then gunshots were flying everywhere as Fox and Falco ran to the right and Peppy and Slippy to the left. As Fox and Falco were behind pillars Falco had made the first move, he ran out with two machine guns yelling his war call "aaaaaaah" he yelled as he was shooting wildly taking out five venomian soldiers. As three other soldiers came after Faclo with shotguns Fox then came out behind a pillar holding two shotguns in his hand. First Fox shot the first two then he dropped both guns, ran sideways on the wall, then jumping off it and kicking the last soldier in the face with the end of his steel-toed boot. Peppy and Slippy were getting hit hard as well first, Slippy ran out taking out five guards with two big machine guns then right behind Slippy was Peppy coming out first throwing an axe at one soldier and killing the last couple with a pump shotgun. Then to take out the very last few Fox ran into the middle of the main room they were in and he grabbed a grenade launcher then running to the other side of the room where they all waited by the elevator like Neo and Trinity in "The Matrix." To finish them off Fox aimed at the last little group of soldiers and shot a grenade by them sending them in the air when it exploded "gotcha!" Fox said in a cocky voice. When they were about to head up to floor 2 they looked back again and saw another army of soldiers at the enterance "give it to 'em raw" Fox said and they all pulled out a grenade and through it towards the enterance just as the elevator door closed. When they ran into the main room they noticed the four grenades and they retreated "FALL BACK!" one soldier said but they were too late as they all exploded sending a shower of fire out the enterance doors and completely burning up all the soldiers except for one (that soldier then went after them). As they arrived on floor 2 they re-loaded all their guns and set a remote mine on the door to the stairs. When they walked about four steps there were four lizards that came out with metal clubs wanting to fight them "GO GO GO" one lizard said then they all ran at them each choosing their own person to fight and the team dropped their weapons. As Fox saw a lizard running towards him the lizard tried to hit him on the head (but he moved) then Fox kicked it out of his hand from behind, turned the lizard around, then broke the lizards face with the metal club causing blood to fly out of his mouth. Falco's challenger was a skilled one as he was fighting fast. As Falco dodged one of his swings he quickly spunned around and hit Falco in his side very hard and just about breaking some bones. That didn't stop Falco as he stuck out his foot kicking the lizard in the crotch then as he bent over in pain Falco kicked him in the side of the face. Falco then picked up the metal club that got chipped when it hit the ground hard, and then jabbed it all the way in the lizards chest using the sharp end of the club. Peppy had a weak challenger that always tried to strangle him as Peppy was trying to hit him. First Peppy pulled out a dagger that he had on his belt and slashed him across the cheek. The lizard then turned around with blood pouring out of his mouth and charged at him with the club but Peppy then through it and jabbed in his mouth (VERY BLOODY). Finally Slippy kicked his lizard challenger in the leg, punched him in the nose, grabbing him and breaking his neck. "Is anybody hurt?" asked Fox after that little battle with the lizards "well my side should be fine" Falco said as he was in a little pain from the hit "i'm fine" Peppy said afterwards "i'm ok" responded Slippy after Peppy. As they made there way to the stairs to floor 3 they heard someone cauck a gun so they turned around and saw a Venomian soldier aiming a shotgun at Peppy (it was the soldier that survived the blast on floor 1) "NOOO!" Fox yelled out as he shot Peppy in the lower part of his shoulder getting very close to his rib cage "HIT THE BUTTON TO SET OFF THE MINE!" he yelled to Slippy then he was blown to pieces as the mine exploded. "oh god" Fox said looking at Peppy's wound "Peppy please don't die one me old friend" he said again as he started to cry a little in front of him "Fox...I..I do-" he trailed off as he was starting to drift off from the pain "NO PEPPY!" Fox cried out "FALCO AND SLIPPY GET PEPPY TO THE HOSPITAL! I DON"T WANT TO LOOSE HIM!" he cried out then they both carried him out as they too didn't want to loose Pepster. (((((CHAPTER 4))))) As Fox stood on his knee's for awhile he had still been crying about the thought of loosing Peppy. He then stood up as anger grew inside of him like water filling a cup and he made his way to floor 3. When he was on floor 3 he was in a long hallway and three venomian soldiers with knives came after him. Fox then acted fast as he took his fist and smashed the glass to where you would find a fire extinguisher but there was an axe in it. He took the axe using the long metal stick end first, ran up to one of the soldiers breaking his nose causing blood to pour. He then took the whole axe (side with the blade) and jabbed it right in the second soldiers chest then finally he ripped it out of his chest and chopped the third soldiers head off with it. He then threw the axe down on the ground angrily and started walking down more knowing he was getting closer. As he was walking he turned around and saw 10 soldiers running toward him so he took out two grenades and through them down the hall. Before they both exploded Fox leaped into the ventilation shafts and took cover as they blew up leaving the hall in a pool of fire. When he got out he noticed he was on the very top floor so he took out both his blasters and kept an eye open for anything. Then as he kicked the door open to the main control room Wolf was standing right by a big window "well well well look who it is" said Wolf evily "i'm going to stop you right now" said Fox angrily pointing his blasters at him "are you really Fox?" Wolf said pressing a button on a computer "Andross is watching you" then Fox looked at the computer which had Andross smiling and waving at him "yeah will now he isn't" Fox said as he shot the computer screen and the computer "but still Fox no matter where you go he is watching you" "not if I can help it" Fox said again as he blasted away at all the computers in the room that were hooked up to cameras. As this was going on Wolf broke the glass to the window, called Andrew on his com-link and jumped to a ladder that was attatched to the helicopter that Andew was flying (so Wolf had escaped). Fox afterwards started to shoot wildly at the helicopter but he didnt penetrate anything "GOD DAMNIT!!" he said slamming his gloved hand against one of the computers he then looked outside again and saw Wolf press a button on a remote control which started a timer to a one minute bomb. Fox then dashed down the stairs to floor level where they first started out at (10 seconds) he then ran outside to where a group of Cornerian soldiers were (6 seconds) and told them to just get the hell out of there (3 seconds) "GO! GO! IT'S A BOMB!" Fox said yelling at them (2 seconds)(1 second)(0 seconds) the Cornerian Cammand Center blew up instantly like the White House in "Independence Day". Fox and the soldiers were still running fast but some of the explosion caught up to them causing them to fly forward and hit the ground. After that there was nothing left but smoke, some small fires, and big pieces of the building left of the Command Center and no one was hurt (Fox and the soldiers). After five minuets Falco and Slippy rushed over to Fox "Fox! are you ok?" asked Falco worridly "I just don't know any- more if we are going to win this" said Fox as he was angry "we will" said Slippy trying to reassure him. After five more minutes of trying to cheer up Fox and calm him they heard numerous explosions coming from the south side of Corneria City. "WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!! (scratchy sounds) PLEASE...H-HELP US!!!" then as all three of them took a ground transporter over there they saw it. What they saw was the most BIGGEST (I mean BIG) fleet of venomian soldiers with very heavy armor and equipment and the hundreds of venomian aircraft and groundcraft. "Oh my god" Fox said as he looked at the scene as did Falco and Slippy. IS THIS THE END OF CORNERIA CITY? IS THIS THE END OF THE PLANET CORNERIA? AND IS THIS THE END OF THE STAR FOX TEAM? Venomian Games (Part II) By: Trenton Fleury (a.k.a. Drake McCloud) (NOTICE: This story contains some language and describes violent scenes) (AGAIN I TRIED NOT TO RELATE ANYTHING TO SEPTEMBER 11th) (Also in this story I am using myself as Drake McCloud so enjoy) (((((PROLOGUE))))) This was now the moment where City had to show their true strength to keep their city. As Fox got everybody lined up (REMEMBER GENERAL PEPPER WAS INJURED SEVERELY) for attack (along with aircraft and landcraft) there was a moment where everybody paused and there was a total silence. The Cornerians were confident and ready to fight and kick some Venomian ass and as for the Venomians they were hungry for bloodshed and looking forward to killing some Cornerians. As Fox, Falco, and Slippy were in their formations (REMEMBER ALSO PEPPY WAS INJURED ALONG WITH PEPPER) they all took a couple of deep breaths in anger and Fox said a little prayer to his father "Dad. ..I know you will be by my side...so...help me fight this war" he said as he held his head low. Then he looked back up and angrily looked at the Venomians. (((((CHAPTER 1))))) As the moment of silence continued Wolf and the rest of the Star Wolf Team came into the scene and got in their formations with their new Wolfen 2 jets. "Hello Fox" Wolf said evily into his com-link "are you ready to die with Corneria Fox?" he then asked as he snarled angrily "not if I fry your ass first" responded Fox as he grinned at Wolf's Wolfen 2 jet "we will see" Wolf said afterwards. After that Fox was angry and was ready to fight "ATTACK!!!" he then yelled into his com-link and everybody got the signal from below to attack and then the WAR had begun. When the war had started Fox, Falco, and Slippy had went straight for the Star Wolf Team, the Cornerian aircraft went for the Venomian aircraft, and tanks and soldiers went at eachother on the ground. As Fox was going at Wolf hard all his shots bounced right off Wolf's jet probably because of the strong plating. Fox's shields were now getting low and he had to back off or he would be toast "I could use some help over here" Fox said worringly into his com "I gotcha bro" an unfamilair voice said as an arwing with gold wings came in and got some Venomian aircraft off his tail. "There ya go" the unknown voice said again "DRAKE!?!" Fox said as he looked at the pilot in the cockpit and his eyes wide "IS THAT YOU?!?" "yeah bro it's been a long time since i've seen you" (it was Fox's brother Drake McCloud) "come on Fox we got a war to fight" Drake said again as he shot wildly at some Venomian soldiers running around on the ground. As Fox and Drake battled with eachother for awhile Falco and Slippy kept the other aircraft back "SLIPPY DON'T LET ANY OF THEM THROUGH!" Falco yelled in his com as he was getting hit by lasers "I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN DAMNIT!" Slippy yelled as he shot down a couple of Venomian aircraft. As Falco and Slippy continuned on Leon and Pigma came in "OH SHIT!" Falco then yelled "LEON AND PIGMA TEN-O-CLOCK" then Slippy looked up and went after Pigma and Falco for Leon. Falco was loosing his shields fast as was Slippy "OH SHIT HELP!!!" Falco yelled as Slippy did as well. Then Drake came in lending them a hand shooting a nova bomb at the Wolfen 2 jets "who the hell is that?" Leon asked in confusion "how the hell should I know and why are his wings gold?" Pigma asked "the name is Drake McCloud guys and you're going down" Drake said as he shot another nova bomb at them. Meanwhile the Cornerian soldiers had enough work in their hands already "GO GO GO!" a C-soldier that was a lion yelled then him and a few other sodiers ran out and shot wildly at a group of Venomian soldiers. Shots were flying back and forth as the war was growing and getting more intense and as for the group of C-soldiers they didn't hold out to well as they fired at a Venom tank that came in and fired on the group. As the bomb hit the ground and exploded it sent the group of C-soldiers flying in different directions. "MEDIC MEDIC!" the lion soldier yelled out as he tried to get back up and help his other buddy's that were lying in pain. As two medics came out another group of Venom soldiers came running towards them getting ready to fire at them. As the lion took out his gun he lined up for a shot but was then shot in the chest by a shotgun shell as were the medics and the rest of the soldiers and it left them in a puddle of blood. Back in the sky Fox had lost all of his shields and Drake was nowhere to be found as Fox searched for him "TAKE THIS" Wolf yelled as he shot a charged laser at his side window (the window in the cockpit) breaking it. Then Fox was fed up as he pulled out a machine gun, stuck his hand out the side of the window, and shot at the side of Wolf's jet but nothing happened. Then when Wolf turned around Fox shot at the front of his jet putting bullet holes in his "cockpit windows" then Wolf shot at the back of his engines sending Fox to the ground "take that you bastard." "AAAAAAAAAH!!!" Fox cried out as he was heading towards the ground fast in smoke. Meanwhile Falco and Slippy were still busy battling away with Leon and Pigma "i'm monkey food if I don't leave" Slippy said as he went for cover to refill his shields. As Pigma went after Slippy, Leon continued to fire hard at Falco bringing his shields down even more. As Falco glanced out the side of his window at the lasers and gunshots he noticed Fox's arwing was on the ground in fire and smoke "FOX NOOO!" He then fired two nova bombs at Leon causing Leon to loose some of his shield power "Drake where are you when I need you" Falco said again as Leon turned around and shot wildly at Falco again "i'm here" Drake said as he shot three charged lasers at Leon's back engines damaging his jet badly. Back on the ground Fox had woken up (he was knocked out from the crash) and rubbed his forehead painfully. He had only a cut on his face and nothing serious. He then made his way out of his cockpit. As he was standing out in the battlefields there was nothing but gunfire going all over from around him. Fox then saw a whole bunch of Venom soldiers running towards him "eat this" he then said as he shot his laser gun at the Venomians shooting his lasers right through their mouths and causing blood to pour out their mouths. As two tanks came toward him Fox jumped out of the way to avoid the explosions from them. Fox then ran up to the tanks as he pulled his hunting knife and through it at a Venom soldier coming out of the top of the tank he got the Venomian right in the left eye. Then he ducked and rolled as a laser from a Venom aircraft shot at him. Fox was then on the top of the tank and he went inside "hello guys" he then said and as the two Venomians turned around he punched them both hard and knocked them out. Fox then took control of the tank and started blowing up groups of Venomians and a couple of other tanks as well. As one of the Venom soldiers woke up he pulled out his gun and aimed at Fox's head. Fox had heard the click of his gun so he quickly ducked pulled it out of his hand and shot the soldier right between the eyes. As he got out of the tank he dropped a grenade and watched it explode as he jumped off it. Fox was now on the ground again still untouchable as he ran and ran killing off Venom soldiers and knowing his father was with him. As he was standing by a dead Venom soldier another group of soldiers came running at him holding shotguns. The soldiers then fired at him so Fox acted quickly as he picked up the dead Venom soldier held it up and let all the shots go right in the back of the dead soldier (if you have seen the movie "The One" with actor Jet Li then you'll know that little scene). Fox then threw the dead soldier at a couple of soldiers then took out the rest with a little martial arts action he had learned back at the Academy. Fox was tired now and didn't know how long he could keep doing this then as he looked back up from catching his breath two tanks and about 10 Venom soldiers ran at him he went to his knees and was about to faint from being so tired. Then a group of about 16 Cornerian soldiers came from behind him and gave him a hand "we gotcha Fox GO GET 'EM BOYS" one soldier yelled that was a gecko. "Fox are you hurt cause you look like you are hurting" the gecko soldier asked helping him out "oh no i'm fine" Fox said getting back on his feet then he helped them out. As Fox and all the soldiers were shooting at the Venom soldiers they had cleared all but the two tanks so they continued to fire at it. The tank then shot at them and killed off four C-soldiers then another one taking off his leg. Fox then looked up at the skies and saw Drake as he swooped in and blew the tanks to hell Fox then gave a salute to Drake. Meanwhile Falco and Slippy had gotten their shields back up and they started making there way into Corneria City to clear out the tanks and other aircraft. As Slippy was flying through the city he managed to hit four tanks blowing them all up. He then almost had gotten himself killed as two buildings blew up one on each side "holy shit" he said as he boosted out of there flying under a building that was tipping over and just about hitting the top of his arwing. Falco took the South side of Corneria which was the part that was getting hit the hardest. He managed to kill off about 15 Venom soldiers that were killing Cornerian pedestrians and two tanks that were firing at buildings and also 4 aircraft ships that were firing bombs at the side of a big hotel building. Slippy and Falco then met up with eachother and they patroled the city together as a team. Meanwhile Fox had been going through the city as well walking down the streets, lining up for shots, then firing. As Fox continued to walk on he had reached the hospital (which was where Peppy and General Pepper were being held at) so Fox decided to go there quickly and see how they were holding up. Fox then got the word to Drake "Drake watch the hospital i'm going in for a minute" he said into his com (which was still working) "ok gotcha Fox" responded Drake as swooped down by Fox. (((((CHAPTER 2))))) As Fox entered the hospital there had been a lot of injured Cornerian soldiers, residents, and a couple of paramedics. Fox went to the front desk where there was a dalmation typing stuff on his computer "may I please see Peppy Hare and General Pepper?" he asked politely "why yes you may Mr. McCloud they are in the same room together and also your wife Fara Pheonix is with them" the dalmation said then telling him directions "just go down the hall, take a right, and there's a room that has their names listed so just look at every name when going down that hall" "ok thankyou" Fox said afterwards then he was off. Following the directions the dalmation gave him Fox had found the room where they were. He opened the door and saw that both of them were awake. "Fox!" they both said at once "hey you guys how are ya feeling?" he asked as he sat down on a chair "ok I guess my injury isn't that bad" Peppy said "well the shot to my side luckily wasn't as severe as they thought" Pepper said afterwards "well good you guys I know I should be out there right now but we cleared most of the Venomians so I have a tiny bit of time" Fox said as he put his head down "we're gonna be ok Fox" Peppy said thinking they wern't going to be okay. After a little cry Fara entered the room "Fox! oh i'm so glad your ok" Fara said in happiness as they hugged "me too honey" then Peppy and Pepper smiled "oh yeah and Fox?" Fara said as she had a happy look on her face "yes honey" Fox then said as he looked at her happy as well "I know now wouldn't be the right time to tell you this but..." she trailed off "what is it?" "well...what if I...said you were...a...father" then Fox's eyes went wide and his jaw dropped as did Peppys and Peppers "WHAT?!?" Fara laughed "yep we are going to have a cub" "oh honey that's wonderful" Fox said as he picked her up and they cheered with joy "hey congratulations you two" Peppy said as he shook Fox's hand as did Pepper "oh yeah Fox i'm DUE in 9 months" then Fox sat on a chair as tears formed in his eyes. As they talked for awhile about the baby (or "kit") there were some gun shots coming from down the hall then Fox pulled out his two blasters and opened the door. At that moment Andrew Oikonny was outside the door and he aimed his gun right between Fox's eyes "hello Fox" Andrew said as an evil greeting "drop your blasters on the floor right now" then Fox threw them towards Peppy's bed "take a seat" then Fox sat on a chair next to Peppy's bed. As Andrew still had his gun pointing at Fox he looked around and grinned at everyone else "so Fox are you ready to die in front of your teammates and your wife?" he said as he got his gun ready then as Fox got a worried look on his face. He opened his mouth and winked at Fara "fuck you" he said as he then kicked him in the crotch, used his other foot and kicked him in the side of his face, then grabbing him by the neck from behind. "Your not killing me today" Fox said as he called in a couple of cops "take him away" he said as the two cops cuffed him and took him to the Cornerian County Jail. Fara then ran over to Fox and hugged him tightly "i'll be right back honey" he said as he was mad as ever. He then walked out of the hospital, got in one of the Cornerian jets outside and got in the air with the rest of the team. He was now in the air and ready for action "ok guys let's give it to 'em raw" Fox said angrily into his com-link "gotcha bro" responded Drake "you got it Fox" responded Falco "okie dokie" responded Slippy and they finished off the aircraft. As Fox started for the first group of Venom jets they fired at him hardily but that wasn't gonna stop him "take this" Fox said as he fired a nova bomb and blew all of them to hell. Drake went for the bigger groups "here I go" Drake said as he barrell rolled through the on-coming shots, flew under them, did a U-turn, and shot a nova bomb at them from behind taking them all out. Falco and Slippy were teamed up for this big group of jets "take right Slip" Falco said To Slippy then they did some team work action as they both shot charged lasers at the swarm of jets and as the lasers of the Venom jets came Slippy took a hard right and Falco a hard left then they finished them off with the ol' nova bomb. Then they all got teamed up for this last group (Fox,Drake,Falco, & Slippy) as they got in formation everyone eyed the on-coming swarm of the last of the Venom jets "on my mark" Fox then said "not yet" "steady" "STEADY" "GO GO GO!" he then yelled as they all shot the last of their nova bombs at the swarm creating a hellish explosion in mid air and sending the jets in all different directions "good work guys" Drake said admiring his brother and the rest of the team. After a minute of joyfully flying around a few tanks that came into the city shot at Drake (or my) arwing blowing off my left wing "oh shit" Drake yelled as he went flying toward the ground and crashed "DRAKE!" then Fox was angry. He swooped down to cover his brother and shot wildly at the tanks and managed to get all of the tanks but Drake would be in for a suprise if he didn't get out of there. A whole swarm of Venomian soldiers started for Drakes arwing which was now in smoke "I can't take this" Falco said into his com "no one is going to die today" he said again as he fired at the swarm killing off half of the group. Then Drake got up and noticed that the soldiers were aiming their machine guns at him so he looked on the screen at his brothers worried face, then he smiled "i'll be right back" Drake said as he pulled the "detatch" lever and sent his seet flying in the air and a parachute came out then Drake pulled out his two machine guns and finished the swarm off as he fired wildly at them. Drake was then back on the ground as was Fox and the rest of the team "(pants hardily) you guys.. ..we did it" Fox said in a tired voice "it's over" then they all looked around them to see how much damage they got out of the war. Then as they looked at the County Jail there was an explosion and Andrew came running out but the team was too late as the Star Wolf Team picked him up in a hellicopter and they escaped Corneria and went back to Venom where Andross was going to be ferious. As they went back into the hospital and into Peppy and Peppers room they spent the rest of the day talking. (((((EPILOGUE))))) The reality of this war with the Venomians was hard to fight but we made it. After the war the reconstruction started right away to get the city back together. (((((9 MONTHS LATER))))) 9 months had passed and Fara was DUE for her baby. As the team (Peppy and Pepper were back again) was sitting in Great Fox having a good time talking and laughing in the rec-room Fara had felt something and the team saw her reaction and stopped "honey what's wrong" Fox asked as he put a paw on her back "Fox get me to the hospital I think our baby is coming" so Fox and the rest of the team rushed her to the hospital and now was the time Fox would be a father and Fara a mother.
