Chapter 11

I awoke that  morning, as the rain fell.  Misty was already awake, and up.  I went to the kitchen, where I was greeted by the warm, delicious smells of breakfast.  Wow, what a spread!  The servant robots cooked everything, Waffles, Pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns...mmm!  I got a plate and joined Todd, Lola, and Misty.

"Good morning, Julius..." Misty said, gently rubbing her leg against mine.  "Good morning babe...." I said to her, kissing her on the cheek.  "Good to have you back, Jules..." said Todd.  "We've been so....bored...without you, darling." said Lola.  "After we eat, we're gonna swing by my old loft, and you can pick up your things, there...Misty, Lola, and I took the liberty of taking your clothes and other personal effects out of your house, and stashed them at my loft for safekeeping." said Todd.

"We got there before the authorities could fill out a search warrant and raid your home." said Lola.  "Yeah, we figured you didn't want those cop scum taking your stuff for themselves, or going through things like your underwear.  I took your car and parked it there as well, your Custom Arwing is safe at McCloud Ranch, though I suspect one of the boys was flying it, playing with it while you were locked up." said Misty.  "Well, you're all correct, that's what I would have wanted you to do.  Thanks!" I said.  "You're welcome." replied Misty, Lola, and Todd.

After we finished breakfast, and the servant droids cleaned up, we headed over to Todd's loft.  When we arrived, I saw my stuff, and Misty's stuff, were all in collapsible folding crates.  Misty went to the closet, opened it, and held up my backpack.  She gave me a huge kiss, and said "I found the diamonds, and the silenced laser pistol." she said.  "They diamonds are definitely for you." I told her.  "You got that silenced laser pistol from the killings, huh?" asked Todd.  "Yep.  I wanted to make the diamonds into jewelry for Misty, you know, bracelets, necklaces, tiaras, diadems, a ring." I replied.

Misty hugged and kissed me harder.  But then she looked sad, and turned away.  "What's wrong?" I asked her.  Todd and Lola looked away nervously.  "I dunno how to tell you this, Julius, but...it's...against the law for Lylatians and for Earthlings to marry each other...there's been some attempted citizen and immigration frauds, plus....there are hate groups that don't want furry mixing with skin." said Todd.  Lola nodded sadly, as did Misty.

"Well...maybe someday, then, they'll overturn that law.  It could still be a symbol of 'someday' for us." I said to Misty.  She smiled, and hugged me, and as we exchanged a kiss, she said "Yeah...I could handle that."

***

I took a shower in the loft, washed my clothes with the in unit washer and dryer, then I put on some fresh clothes, went around the corner to the store, where I bought a carbon fiber belt holster for my silenced laser pistol.  That's what I like best about Corneria, and the Lylat system.  You could carry a weapon without people freaking out about it.  Unlike Earth...

When I returned, I asked Todd if I could see my house again.  I told him I'd take my stuff back there later, and he was col about that, but not so cool about going back to my house.  He looked guilty.  As a matter of fact, so did Lola and Misty, when they heard I wanted to see my house.

"What's wrong?" I asked suspiciously.  No answer.  "Is my house trashed from the police raid?" I asked.  "Well...sort of..." said Todd.  "We also threw a party in there, to celebrate your exoneration, when we tricked Joey into talking." Misty said.  I laughed..  "Is that all?  How bad could it be?" I asked.  "Just...please don't be mad...we'll help you clean up...ASAP." said Todd.

They gave me a ride to my house, Todd and Lola exchanging worried glances, when they thought I wasn't looking at them.  Misty and I cuddled in the back seat.  "So, Julius....you got those diamonds for Misty?" asked Lola.  "Yeah, spoils of the deal I disrupted, those blood diamonds are untraceable, used to pay for the missile warheads and their components.  I had to split the diamonds with Joey and  Danny...one-forth for me, one-forth for Danny, one-forth for Joey...the last one forth went to the Foxglove Family itself." I explained.

"Did Joey try to eat or suck on his share of the diamonds, mistaking them for candy?" Lola asked, giggling.  "Uh...yeah!  How'd you know?" I said.  "It's Joey, that's how I know..." Lola said, and we all laughed.  We arrived at my house.  What a mess!  The front gate was torn off its hinges.  Someone wrote "Hi Lola!" on the fence.

The upstairs window on the right, the den window, had been shattered by a beer keg, which was tossed through it from the inside, and the keg dented the fence, after hitting and rolling across the patio.  The laundry area to the right, had its screen door ripped out and tossed over the fence, my shed outside the patio, in front, was broken into, the door laying next to it in the driveway, and a horrible smell emanated from it.  It had been used as an outhouse, apparently.

My living room was a disaster.  Someone spray painted swear words all over the walls, I found footprints on the ceiling!  Someone had carved the words "Piggy Flingpig wuz heer!" into one of the doors of my kitchen cabinets.  Someone else wrote "Hi Todd!" in permanent ink marker on my bathroom door.  There was garbage everywhere, liquor bottles, pizza boxes, pizza crusts, burger wrappers, soda and beer cans, cigar butts, streamers, confetti, streamers, milkshake cups, spilling milkshake mess all over the floor.

As I climbed the stairs, on the wall to my right, someone spray painted "HI JULIUS!" in huge glow in the dark paint.  Terrific.  I entered the den.  "Julius Rules!" somebody wrote on the wall in permanent ink.  "Reece Kilza was here!" someone else wrote on the wall.  There was more graffiti in my bedroom, the drawers and cabinets were trashed, the cabinet doors off the hinges, the drawers ripped out, one of them wedged in my now broken bedroom window.  The other two drawers under my bed were in the den, used to hold beer cans and empty beer bottles, each drawer holding either all cans or all bottles in an empty can and bottle tossing contest. 

I found the top half of my front dutch door on the roof, the back area of my home was a real mess, bottles, cans, and cigar butts all around my fire pit and stone and cement hillside back patio (which overlooked the roof or my house).  My TV was wrecked, as was my stereo.  Some damn fool kicked holes in the speakers.  The fridge and freezer were tipped over.  The oven door was gone, and my washer and dryer were wrecked.

I'm not mad at you guys, just...disappointed." I said.  "Sorry" said Todd, Lola, and Misty, as they were looking away, ashamed.  "It's okay, I guess." I said.  "We'd help you clean up, now, but it's time to go meet Fox at McCloud Ranch, he's giving us our briefing on our new mission today." said Todd.  I nodded.  "We can clean this up another time." I commented.  "It's only been like this for three days." said Lola, casually.

I smelled urine wafting from the living room, through the shattered front living room window, as we were leaving.  Misty noticed me wrinkling my nose, and said "Todd and the guys held a pissing contest in the living room, Todd beat them all, even Slippy." she said.  "Yeah, the losers were all sore, but Falco was especially...pissed!" Todd joked.  We all laughed.  "That was soooo bad Todd.  But it's cool Slippy got invited." I said.  "Yeah, the little guy needed some fun.  It's a shame Tigress didn't come, we invited her over, along with Kylie." said Todd.  "Slippy looked hilarious, running around with that lampshade on his head!" said Misty, giggling.  "He sure did.  Falco passed out, and we drew all over his face!" Lola bragged, and we all laughed again.

We went to McCloud Ranch, having ridden the Malestrom from McCloud Hall, to Todd's loft, to my house.  We arrived at McCloud Ranch, and headed into the main building.

Chapter 12

We entered the main building at McCloud Ranch.  As we walked down the hall to the war room, we ran into the members of Star Fox.  We ran into Akasha, chewing up a magazine.  "Hey, wasn't that magazine from my coffee table!?" I said, pointing to it.  Akasha gave me a big, sad expression and ran off, taking the magazine with her.  Todd, Lola, and Misty laughed.

As we walked through the halls, I heard Edge and Babs in the rec room, playing foosball.  Slippy was in the workshop, tightening some bolts with his ratchet.  Falco was arguing with Katt on whether someone could throw up at the same time they were doing a headstand.  Fox and Krystal were talking, but I couldn't hear them over the noise of that Wurlitzer Jukebox, playing the Great Fox Rock.

Fox and Krystal walked out of the rec room, and saw us.  "Ah, there you are!  Julius, welcome back.  C'mon, we're going to the war room, it's time to start the briefing." he said.  "I prefer boxer shorts, thanks." I joked.  Krystal, Lola, Misty, Todd, and even Fox began laughed at my dumb joke.  "Okay, let's go." Fox said.  Lola tapped into her headset, and said over the P.A. system "Attention all Star Fox members!  Report to the war room!". 

***

Fox stood before us...

"Members of Star Fox, today, and over the next few days, we're going to planet Kew, to assassinate a powerful crime boss there.  His name is Shao Di Gong.  Kew is outside of Lylat Federation's prosecution and jurisdiction."

"This is gonna be fun!  Going into the lawless back country, to ice a crime boss, now that's my kinda mission!"

"This is not going to be a simple mission.  Mr. Gong is too powerful to directly approach, so we need to pick his organization apart, piece by piece."

"B-b-but Shao Di Gong is supposed to be one of the meanest and most dangerous crime bosses on Kew!"

"Exactly!  But the main reason we're taking him down, is because it was Shao Di Gong who orchestrated the purchase of the IPBM warheads and equipment Julius had stolen for the Foxglove family.  After Danny and Joey were forced by Peppy and General Pepper to turn that stuff over to the Federation, Danny and Joey got a plea bargain to avoid jail, by providing information on who Don Tabbiloni was trying to purchase the missile warheads for, and that was Shao Di Gong....Danny and Joey also have provided us with information and intelligence on how to take down Gong's organization to get to him."

"How the heck did that human, whatshisname, that was selling the IPBM warheads and equipment even get that stuff!?"

"I bet it was someone like Star Wolf who stole the warheads and equipment, and hired Hank Smeltz to handle that deal."

"That is statistically very likely."

"I agree, but for now, we focus on Mr. Gong.  He resides in an enormous commercial complex.  There is a luxury hotel and resort, restaurant, bar, shopping plaza, gambling halls, all fronts for laundering blood money.  A small army protects the place, and the Kew City Police Department is on Mr. Gong's payroll.  We need to find a way to back him into a corner and remove his police protection.  Killing Shao Di Gong will take a very detailed plan, and a lot of preparation.  Fortunately, Danny Foxglove has provided us with the best plan, which we'll go into detail later."

"I'll assume there's no room for error, so we gotta execute this carefully.  No do-overs, no timeouts, and no mistakes allowed."

"That's right!  Let's get packed, and prepared to go.  We meet at the hangar, and take the Galatae.  Kylie, Krystal, Tigress, Akasha, Edge, and Todd...take your personal fighters.  The rest of us are taking our Arwings, especially you, Fara and Julius.  Let's go!"

We left the war room to get ready.

***

"I love that holster, Julius!" Miyu said, pointing to my silenced laser pistol on its new belt holster.  "Thanks.  I got a matching shoulder rig set with it." I said.  We were walking toward the Galatae.  I had my suitcase packed, thanks to Misty, while I was shopping for my holster, showering, and doing my laundry back at Todd's loft.  I didn't even ask her to do it, but she did it anyways, which I told her I appreciated that. She said it was no problem, she was packing her stuff there as well, and figured she'd help me.  Lola and Misty had some extra costumes and outfits packed (not too much, just one trunk load each).  Our luggage, equipment, etc., was all loaded into the Galatae, along with our personal ships.

Krystal, Tigress, Akasha, and Kylie had their Veritech Fighters, Fara and I had our customized Arwings, which had the land walking ability (my Arwing was purple, Fara's Arwing was black, like her original Arwing, although her original Arwing didn't have walking abilities like her new one).  Todd had the Malestrom loaded up, and Fox, Falco, Slippy, Fay, and Miyu had their Arwings.  Katt had her "Catspaw", and Edge had his Wolfen 2, loaded and ready to go.

We boarded, and Tigress took off, and we set course for Kew.

*that's it for this chapter*

[Kursed]

Ohh the galate a classic ship I working on details for a new  Cerinian destroyer and space craft besides the veritech. (So are Akasha, Krystal,tigress and Kylie using thier veritechs?)

[Caat01]

great as always,  Julius  :yes:
