We Must Move On By: Trenton Fleury (a.k.a. Drake McCloud) (To let all you readers know I wasn't real happy with this story and the ending but if you liked it then good) ________________________________________________________________________________ (((((PROLOGUE))))) Fox McCloud age 13 was now an official member of the Star Fox Team and the new leader following in his dad's footsteps. Fox had graduated top class at the Academy and he had recieved the highest ranks than anyone else. The first couple of weeks at the Academy were hard for Fox though because his dad was always on his mind but he had a lot of friends there to help him and make him feel welcome (you know). He had made many friends at the Academy which made him happy and one of them was Bill Grey (a husky) who is now after five years a commander of a big military on Katina. Now it is time for Fox to gather up a new team and take down Andross. (((((CHAPTER 1))))) It was Monday 0300 hrs. and Fox McCloud was laying on his bed in his chamber aboard Great Fox. It has been five years now since his dad's fate and the thought of that is still fresh in Fox's mind but he knew he had to move on. As he was reading an up-to-date Cornerian Times magazine Peppy had opened the door and walked in "Fox the general would like to speak with you" he said leaving his chamber afterwards so he walked down to the control room. When he entered the control room Fox's wife Fara had been reading up on a book she was enjoying (Fara wanted to take a ride aboard Great Fox) "hi honey" Fox greeted as he walked in and she did the same as they both did a quick kiss. ROB64 then turned around "Fox you have a message from General Pepper...Priority 1" he had said in a robotic voice so Fox hurried over to the monitor and turned it on and Pepper's old face appeared on the screen. "Aah Fox how are you today?" Pepper asked giving a quick greeting "Just fine what can I do for you today general?" responded Fox then Pepper turned totally serious. "Fox we need to move on and get you guys a couple of new teammates and plan for future attacks on Venom" "have you been doing some research or something?" asked Fox as Fara then watched over Fox's shoulder "yes and I think these are the ones for you and Peppy" Pepper said confidently "alright we will be back in thirty minutes Fox out" then the monitor went blank "ROB set a course back to Corneria" Fox commanded "o...k" responded ROB. After that he wanted to go back to his chamber but Fara then put her arms around Fox. "So Foxy" she said smiling at him "honey please don't call me Foxy just Fox" he said putting his arms around Fara "excited for your new teammates?...Foxy" she asked giggling a little "yeah but I am nervous you know...being a leader and hoping for the best new recruits to the team" he said nervously looking away then looking back at Fara smiling "and by-the-way just Fox!" then Fara giggled some more "oh Fox don't worry about it" she said afterwards ruffling the fur on Fox's head. After five minutes of talking about things Fox and Fara went into the rec-room then layed on the couch and had a small kissing session. After 25 minutes had passed Peppy walked in looking at his photo album of him, his family, and James five years ago. He even shed a tear or two looking at the ones of James McCloud "five minutes from entering Corneria" ROB announced so Fox and Peppy started talking about their memebers to the team. "So Peppy has General Pepper had any updates on our new recruits?" asked Fox "why yes" Peppy replied "one of them is a falcon and the other is a toad" "interesting" Fox said looking forward to meeting them "and they are very skilled pilots" Peppy said afterwards "that sounds exciting don't you think Fox?" Fara said and Fox stayed silent "Foxy" she teased "ok! yes it's exciting" Fox said practically yelling so Fara teased Fox the rest of the way home. (((((CHAPTER 2))))) They had then landed at the base next to Fox and Peppy's arwing and the two new arwings for the new teammates. They then walked down the hallway to the generals office both excited and nervous and for Fara she went into the big rec-room and read her book some more. Fox gave a few knocks on the general's door and he could also hear the general "that would be Fox and Peppy" he said softly "come in!" he then said more loudly then Fox opened the door and they both walked in looking at their two new teammates. "Fox and Peppy meet Falco Lombardi he was a member of the Avian Air Force and is very skilled" Pepper said kindly and they both shook Falco's hand and greeted "and meet Slippy Toad he is a big...let's just say tech know-it-all (you know what I mean) Pepper said and they shook Slippy's hand and greeted him. After about five minutes of talking and getting to know eachother (also being respective about James McCloud) Pepper lead Falco and Slippy to the docking bay. "Falco and Slippy these will be your arwings" Pepper said pointing at them "WOW!" they both said in excitement and they walked up to them getting a close look. Soon after Fox and Peppy entered the scene Peppy walked up to Pepper "general?" said Peppy pointing at his watch "oh yes Falco and Slippy we need to discuss about your new assignment with Fox and Peppy" then they walked back to Pepper's office. "You guys will be going to Venom to take down the base there and destroy what's left of Andross" Pepper said giving Falco and Slippy a serious look "we're ready for anything" Falco said bravely and so they continued on with the discussion. Meanwhile back on Venom Andross was discussing his attack plan and they wanted to take Corneria by suprise. "We need to act fast and take those bastards down" Andross started off saying angrily "shall we do it the ol' fashion way? just go in for attack?" asked Wolf "no! to easy" replied Andross "I would like you, Leon, Pigma, and Andrew to sneak into Corneria City undetected then sneak into the Star Fox base and plant cameras" (he wantes them to do this so he can watch the team from Venom and know there every move) "then we will take our army of Venomians in and play a game of war" then Andross and the Star Wolf Team smiled evily and laughed together. Meanwhile back on Corneria they were just ending their conversation about Venom when Fara barged into the room "Fox! it...it's Andross" she said very scared so they all ran into the rec-room to the monitor phone that was in there. "Aah hello General Pepper and hello again Peppy and what do we have here? Fox McCloud as a leader? wow i'll have fun killing you like I did your father later" Andross said as a greeting "what the hell do you want Andross?" asked Fox angrily "i'm declaring war and I intend to blow your city to hell so you better be ready OR BE PREPARED TO DIE!!!" Andross said laughing then the screen went blank "let the games begin" General Pepper said in anger and after that they got right down to strictly business. (((((EPILOGUE))))) After the warning that day they got the Cornerian Army all together along with Bill Grey's Husky Unit and they had a big meeting at the Cornerian Town Hall and they prepared the city for war.
