The Great Fox

Fox sat there after the mind blowing call he received from General Pepper and was pondering on how exactly he was going to explain this to his friends. He eventually decided to just get straight to the point. He opened up the ships intercom and said "Falco,Slippy,Peppy, and Krystal please report to the bridge for a mission briefing.

Then he got dressed and ready for the tough day ahead and left his room and headed towards the bridge. On the way he was formulating his plan when he bumped into a disgruntled avian. That avian was none other then Falco Lombardi Foxs oldest friend and most trusted member of his team. "What the hell was that for Fox" yelled Falco. Yep he sure was a great friend.

"Sorry Falco" He apologized "I was preoccupied and wasn't paying attention"

"Yeah yeah don't let it happen again, seriously it's no wonder I'm the better pilot" Falco said. Fox looked at his blue and red feathered friend as they walked towards the bridge and scoffed,

"sure but who has the most kills" Fox smirked.

"It's not about the kills it's about style, which you lack" retorted Falco.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night Falco" Fox said sighing. Right as Fox finished speaking they arrived at the bridge. As they walked in Fox could see all his other friends, no not friends but family as they gathered and waited for him to start the briefing. Falco taking his place among his fellow companions. fox took a moment to look of the assembled group and couldn't help but feel contentment here was all of his friends together they had suffered hardships but they all ways pulled through in the end.

There was Falco arrogant and sometimes irritating and they often grated against each other, but there was no one else he rather have watching his back.

Then there was his old father figure Peppy Hare the old rabbit had been there for Fox when his father was betrayed by Pigma and was killed. He was Foxes mentor and the reason Starfox was still a mercenary group so that Fox's fathers work and and his best friends memory would not fade with time. Peppy was tall for a rabbit yet still no more then 5'3 without those huge ears. He had grey fur and had the aura of an old yet experienced buck. He was sitting in one of the chairs wearing his coat and seemed to be leaning back and a faint snoring could be heard.

Slippy his old friend from school who was the teams mechanic and the one responsible for keeping the place running. The toad was the shortest of them all barley reaching 5ft flat. With green skin and a frail body it was clear he was no soldier and was perfectly comfortable working in the ships garage. He was currently wearing his mechanic jumpsuit. He seemed fidgety yet he always was so Fox left it alone.

ROB the robot was in the front monitoring the ships system he seemed to be part of the ship now Fox didn't know what to feel about ROB he didn't have emotions or at least didn't show them so Fox just let him be.

Finally there was Krystal the cerulean vixen he found on Sauria after saving the planet from one of andross's finale schemes. She was a beautiful women standing at 5'10 she was the tallest person on the team and the resident psychic. She had a lithe yet thin frame and was leaning on the wall near the back of the bridge wearing her Cerinian outfit under her flight suit. She once had a crush on fox but was disappointed to figure out he had a girlfriend already a certain Fara Phoenix. But she was quick to get over it and now they were like family.

"Alright guys" Fox said. Bear with me now I have some shocking news from General Pepper". They all perked up at that but of course Falco always had a snide remark.

"What" he scoffed "He finally realized that I am the better pilot between us".

"Cut It out Falco, I sense that here is something big about to announced" Krystal chimed in with her signature posh accent.

"She's right guys" Fox said "A CDF patrol ship in the outer reaches stumbled across a alien race". The room instantly went silent and even peppy woke up from his nap.

"What!" Exclaimed Slippy "y-yo-your serious" he stuttered suddenly becoming a nervous wreck. As Krystal attempted to calm him down Falco threw in his own two cents.

"Well shit" he said "that is pretty shocking"

"It gets worse that was three months ago."

What!" Falco cried out outraged why didn't he tell us."

Now Fox looked upset the council deemed fit to keep it a secret".

That's when Peppy spoke up "who and what are these aliens" he said in his calm and collected voice.

Fox replied "they call themselves the Terran Empire"

"Well Falco said "that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside" When suddenly Falco heard Slippy butt in.

"shut up man this is pretty serious, right Fox" Fox nodded.

Suddenly Krystal decided to speak up "why did General Pepper tell you now?" That got everyone's attention.

"Well" fox said nervously his right hand rubbing the back of his head. "There's a slight problem". That's when Falco replied,

"oh great what (slight) problem" He said finger quoting slight.

Fox got serious "the Terrans talked about a extragalactic threat"

"Wait you mean as in not of this galaxy" Krystal said shocked.

"Yes they have been waging a brutal war for the past fifteen years against what they call The Parasite" The room got even quieter as that particular bit of ominous news was relayed.

Peppy ever the scholar asked "what are these Parasites?"

Everyone seemed to lean in expectantly when Fox said "that will be explained later by someone more qualified then me, the important thing is that this Terran empire has warned us that a hive fleet, which is a fleet of these monsters is heading towards the Lylat system". The room got so quiet you could hear a pin drop from a mile away.

"What!"Slippy said in a raspy voice those things are heading here!"

Falco practically exploded "Fuck what do we do!" Even Krystal and Peppey the more level headed individuals seem to be panicking.

Then Fox said "there is good news, in light of these dire events the Terran Empire in an act of friendship has offered aid even though almost their entire military is fighting these things off".

The group seed to calm down after that and got excited.

So Falco asked "so how are they going to help"

"Well Fox said they are sending a combat instructor who specializes in fighting these things and his personal ship". Falco groaned.

"They are sending only one measly ship and one guy wow I'm so thankful" he said sarcastically.

All of a sudden Krystal smacked him upside the head "at least there sending something and not leaving us against these things with no information and help."

"Jeeze Krystal I was joking" said Falco rubbing the back of his head.

That's when Fox said "there's more we've Been ordered by Pepper to stay on his ship while we train"

That's when Falco really got upset "great now we have to leave the great fox what about ROB?"

"THIS UNIT DOES NOT REQUIRE MONITORING."

ROB butted in out of the blue. "I guess that means he can take care of himself" Muttered Falco.

Slippy added his own thoughts "he'll be fine" he said although secretly he worried about his robotic friend.

"Either way fox said we have the coordinates plug them in we're going to be late. ROB activated the light speed engines and the ship disappeared in a flash of light.
