Star Fox: The Next Generation Chapter 1

[Guest Julius Quasar]

A knock was hear on Silver's door.  "Hey Silver, we gotta surprise for you!" said Cliff.  He and Attila were outside, waiting for Silver.

[Kursed]

Panther leaned back on his chair and let out a loudh sigh, as if he were not sure what to say. "I originally wanted to have a word or two with you about the same thing I talked with you in the prison cell on Sargasso. How we can hinder Wolf turning Lylat into a burning carcass.

But then, things took an unexpected change. Wolf's even more ambitious that I feared, and he's keeping me on a short lease now. I can't turn on him, not openly." Panther said, chills creaping down his spine as he tought about his wife and their kid in the claws of Wolf.

"The revival of Starwolf was just the first step in his plans. Wolf's planning something big, but I'm not yet sure what."

Odin nodded thankfully. "Thanks Kari." He said with a smile before he turned around and headed for the hangar, where his fighter was waiting for him. He had allready packed a small bag, tough he doubted he would be long gone.

"Has Wolf changed that much since I left?" Krystal asked "I don't know Panther ,but as long as Malon is in power both starwolf and Starfox are outlaws." KRystal noted. "It's inebitable that we might join forces again like during the aparoid wars ,but it may take awhile. "Is there anything else I could do for you?" She asked.

Panther shook his head slowly. "I just hope Wolf will realise that before he drags us all into the abyss with him.

And, you allready know perfectly well what is bothering me." He whispered as he covered his eyes behind his hand. She might be able to read his mind to a certain degree, but he wouldn't let her see him in as weak as this.

[Showtime 1-1]

A knock was hear on Silver's door.  "Hey Silver, we gotta surprise for you!" said Cliff.  He and Attila were outside, waiting for Silver.

Silver walked up behind Cliff and Attila, who were knocking at his door. They looked excited.

"Okay, what do you want?" he asked.

[Kursed]

Panther shook his head slowly. "I just hope Wolf will realise that before he drags us all into the abyss with him.

And, you allready know perfectly well what is bothering me." He whispered as he covered his eyes behind his hand. She might be able to read his mind to a certain degree, but he wouldn't let her see him in as weak as this.

"I doubt i could help with your wife Panther ,but at most I might be able to tell if the baby is still alive." KRystal noted. she blinked for a minute "how smart are the guards she smirked.

"Is my child alive?" Panther said, leaning far foreward, almost coming into contact with Krystals face. "I need to know."

[Fira-Astrali]

For a moment, the silence filled the room. A hellfire beyond compare raged in Wolfs eyes.

"You are no daughter of mine." He grumbled, his voice so hoarse with anger that it could barely be heard.

"You are no daughter of mine!" He suddenly roared, it echoing trough the entire space station. The young ruffian who had followed Freya turned tail and ran as fast as he could away, his legs going like drumsticks. But Freya stood solid like a rock in face of the raging storm.

"Get out of my sight. GET OUT!" Wolf roared again as he toppled the solid oak workdesk over in his blinding rage. Freya finally turned around and slowly walked out, breaking into a run as she were out of sight from the office.

Wolf was hyperventilating, leaning onto his chair for support. A small object on the floor caught his eye, and he picked it up. It was the picture he used to have on his desk, the only piece of decoration in the whole room.

The glass had been shattered as the desk was toppled, and the frame was bent beyond repair. Wolf carefully pulled out the photography from the remains and held it up to look at. It had been taken ten years ago, and portrayed him standing side by side with his wife, holding the young Freya in his strong arms. One of his rare smiles made his face look totally different from what it used to.

It was a picture of a family. His family. Now, he had chased away the last remaining one.

He covered his watery eyes with his left hand as he let his head sink down. What have I done?" He spoke to himself.

(hehe, i thought i'd posted this, then i turned on my computer and found this half finished  )

Freya raced through the station, not caring about anything. The pain in her leg, the people that she practically pushed over as she forced them out of her way, she just didn't care. She didn't hear anyone calling after her, all other sounds were drowned out by the voice of her father. She raced down to her ship, not stopping at her room to gather any of her things. There was nothing there she wanted, her one precious possession was tucked safely into her theif's pocket.

Silver saw her running on his way to the gym. "Hey kid, you shouldn't be putting that much stress on that leg," he called, stretching out an arm to catch her. But when he did, she lashed out like a deamon possessed, freeing herself from his grasp and falling lightly against the wall. Her eyes were red, tears streaming down her face, wetting her fur.

"What...?" But before he could finish his sentence, Freya took off running again. He tried to follow her, but the next time he saw her he was on the observation deck that looked out over the hanger. She was lifting herself into her ship. With a sick feeling in his stomach, he realized what had happened. SOmethign must have happened when she went to see her father, she was leaving.

+++

The ship broke orbit with the station and shot off in a random direction. She didn't care where she was going, she just cared that she escaped. She fell back against her seat, openly sobbing in the darkness of space. She cried for hours, 19 years of tears that she'd always hid. There was no one to hide them from now, no one to put on and act for. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her one possession: a picture from her childhood. The only one she'd ever see of her and her parents, together and alive.

It just made her cry harder.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Silver turned towards the entrance to the weight room. Cliff and Attila looked excited.

"Okay, what do you want?" he asked, still hanging from the bar.

Cliff and Attila came into the room.  "Can you keep a secret?" asked Attila.

"Yeah..." said Cliff.

"Not you, him!" Attila whispered to Cliff, as he elbowed him.

[Kursed]

"I will Panther ,but do you have any idea where she is?" Krystal asked "And I may have to hurry I feel something is amiss."

[Asper Sarnoff]

"I will Panther ,but do you have any idea where she is?" Krystal asked "And I may have to hurry I feel something is amiss."

"No, I have no idea where they are!" Panther despaired. "I only know there are far to many guards there that we can save them. We'll have to stop Wolf, that's the only way." Panther stood up from his chair and put on the hood over his head again. "I'll be working for Wolf for a long time to come. If I find something interesting to you, I'll take contact."

[Kursed]

"heres my number don't use it for dating calls." Krystal asked handing panther a card. "I"ll try my best to find out if your  wife is alright with the baby but don't expect immideint replys from me.

Kari sensing the same thing amiss as krystal secretly snuck out to her arwing and took off from  fichina  unknowingly heading for Freya the source of the odd signal.

[Showtime 1-1]

(good one, Fira!)

Cliff and Attila came into the room.  "Can you keep a secret?" asked Attila.

"Yeah..." said Cliff.

"Not you, him!" Attila whispered to Cliff, as he elbowed him.

"Do I even want to know what you guys are up to?" Silver replied. He was still thinking of Freya running off like that, Wolf must have been really hard on her. He had decided not to follow her, though. She would have to figure this one out herself.

"You'd better not be planning a heist or something."

[Guest Julius Quasar]

"HEIST!?  Pffffft!  Heists are for stick up thugs, who fall asleep in the getaway craft, and get busted by 'the man'..." said Attila.

"Yeah...we're gonna kill Hurkha the Toad, and take over his operations!" said Cliff.

The two of them told Silver their plan for raiding the palace, killing Hurkha and his goons, and taking over.

"You in?" asked Cliff.

[Showtime 1-1]

Silver stood and listened to their plan without saying anything. When they were finished, he spoke.

"You guys are idiots."

It obviously wasn't the response they were expecting.

Silver took advantage of their uncharacteristic moment of silence to push past them into his room.

"Don't take it personally, guys, but I don't think a task like that is appropriate right now. Starwolf has enough problems... besides, I don't want to be going anywhere involving crime lords and bounty hunters right now..."

He closed the door to his room.

He closed the door to his room.

Attila opened the door to Silver's room, and he and Attila walked in there.  "YOU'RE the idiot, butthead!  I can't believe you wanna pass up an opportunity like this!  Someone that stupid ain't playin' with a full deck of marbles!"  Cliff jeered.

"A full deck of CARDS, Cliff...forget it, listen, Cliff's right, though, you're the idiot!  Where's your ambition!?  Don't you wanna do more with your life as an outlaw mercenary!?  This is just the big score that Star Wolf needs for a comeback!  You'd have to be a moron to wanna stay on this floatin' space potra-potti forever!  Don't you want something to show for your life, your career?" Attila sneered.

"Forget him!  C'mon, Attila, that just leaves more for us!" sneered Cliff.

"Totally!" said Attila.  The two of them left Silver's room, Cliff cutting a huge fart on his way out.

Cliff and Attila went back to Attila's room.

[Asper Sarnoff]

Odin gunned the fighter trough the atmosphere, faster and faster as he was breaking free from gravity and out into the endless voids of space. He cast a glance at the HUD, currently showing the rearview camera, and Katina becoming smaller and smaller behind him.

While it was tempting to go set course for Fichinia, see his parents again and get stocked up on the parts he needed there, that was at its furtest away in its orbit, and it would take several days just to get there. Zoness on the other hand was much closer, and he knew about a guy there that had the parts he needed.

Making a decision, Odin typed the coordinates and made the jump to hyperspace.

"heres my number don't use it for dating calls." Krystal asked handing panther a card. "I"ll try my best to find out if your  wife is alright with the baby but don't expect immideint replys from me.

"Thanks Krystal. I'll never forget this." Panther said as he stuffed away the card under his cloak. "Farewell, and give my greetings to Fox, and the rest of the team." Panther silently left the cantina and was gone.

[Kursed]

With Panther gone Krystal stood up and headin out of the cantina dissapearing into the  dust outside. despite the curretn dust stormy Krystal quickly made her way to a emtpy alley opening her mind and trying to locate someone.

Kari  meanqwhile headed towards Sauria.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

"...well, that leaves Silver out, and I heard Freya ran off...that just leaves us to get rich." said Attila.

"Just you and are gonna be rich?  That's rich!" said Cliff, chuckling at his own dumb joke.

Attila rolled his eyes.  "Anyways...we'll do this tomorrow morning.  Get plenty of rest...good luck, to both of us!" he said.  "But what if Silver blabs to Wolf 'bout us!?" said Cliff.

"If he knows what's good for him, he'll keep his mouth shut!" Attila sneered.

"Yeah, or we'll shut it for 'im!" Cliff said.  They both laughed.

"Aright, g'nite!  Take it easy!" Cliff said to Attila.  "Same to you!" said Attila.  Cliff went to his room, locked the door, and went to bed.  Attila locked his door, and went to bed as well.

It consists of 2 miles of ducking, jumping, crawling, climbing, and anything that at least one human being can do. If you cant finish this, than you might as well forget about finishing this class!
