Alternate Realities

[Guest Ian Rubin]

(Originally posted on AL, but I'm putting it here because I think it'll be better received. This was posted on AL in two posts, but it has been condensed to one for reasons unknown to even me.)

[iMPORTANT! The following RPG contains the use of several major Star Fox characters. These characters are going to be under the control of the writer for the sole reason that I'm aiming to avoid a lock, and that I'm also the only person who has an idea as to what will happen to them. NO OTHER PLAYER MAY USE THEM! They are only to be used as a MODEL and to build suspense and depth! If you want to use alternate versions of them in the timeline you are in, that's okay.]

"How you holding up Fox?" Asked a young human with glasses.

The Hero of the Lylat System gulped LOUDLY. "I-.. I've been better. I'm just used to artificial gravity. And I can not wait to get out of this suit."

Ian Rubin just sighed. 'Here I am, talking to a hero, sixty miles above the surface of the moon, going to test a highly experimental method of propulsion, and he's SPACE SICK?!'

Ian had to admit, things could be going better. The primary dry dock of the Lunar Space Docks was under repairs, forcing the retrofitting of the ship they were flying towards to occur in a dock without a docking tunnel. The test propulsion system was installed late, and to top it all off, the crew still wasn't ready. Ian was the pilot, and his main crew consisted of a blue alligator, (Ice Gator) an arctic fox, (Eski Alopex) and a crocodile who happened to be the front man for the band Saur Loser. (Croco Xarranax.) Apart from the four of them and Fox McCloud himself, the crew on this ship had no idea what they were getting into, at least from the simulator tests. Not only that, the test of the new 'Hyper Jumpdrive' system was being broadcast live on TV to Earth and Lylat.

Another day in paradise according to a few technicians.

Ian and Fox finally stepped into the airlock of the Primary Propulsion Test Vehicle. Ian took his glasses off and wiped the fog off of them. "Well, let's get this over with."

Sitting in the main spectator gallery of the McGregor Space Center, Krystal McCloud and her son Jamie, along with the rest of the Star Fox team, were watching the test. Jamie was very smart for a ten year old kid, and everyone knew it. He'd wanted to go with his dad, but it was out of the question.

"Am I too late for the fireworks?" Asked a rather beautiful fennec.

"Not at all Fara," said Peppy Hare. "Not at all."

The vixen sat next to Krystal, and Ian's mate Vixey. "So when are they going to start anyway?"

No sooner had the words left her lips when Ian's voice came over the speaker and an image of him and the crew in their spacesuits came on the large monitors.

"Mission Control, this is the Fidelity. We're strapped in tight, I can barely breath, and we're ready to break the speed record."

The image was minimized and several other views came up: one of the ship's engine room, another of several top Lylatian officials watching the test, including General Pepper, and one of the ship pulling out of the dry dock smoothly and accelerating faster....

"Approaching 186,000 miles per second, all systems nominal." Said Eski.

"Passing Warp 1, and engaging primary Hyper Jumpdrive."

Instantly after the crew pressed the button, an alarm went off.

"What the hell is that?"

"I don't know...."

"There's a propulsion problem."

"Start shutting it down, NOW!"

"I'm on it." With that, Fox left his seat and headed towards the engine room.

"We're losing structural integrity!"

The engine room camera showed Fox desperately trying to shut off the engines....

"We're losing it!"

"PRESSURE ALERT!"

"HOUSTON, WE'VE GOT A PROBL-" Ian never completed his sentence. At that moment a scream was heard and the engine exploded.

"HOUSTON!"

The cameras on the ship shut off, filling the screens with static. Another view of the ship showed it being completely engulfed in an enormous fireball. Static filled the comms. No one spoke. After several long seconds, a flight controller's voice was heard.

"Flight reports vehicle has exploded. Attempting to reestablish contact."

Everyone knew though, that at least one person wasn't going to be all right.....

Krystal gasped and then screamed. Jamie couldn't say anything. General Pepper's face was one of pure horror.

"No one could have survived th-"

"Houston, this is Fidelity Escape." A camera zoomed in to see that a small escape vessel was flying away from the wreckage. The cameras on the escape pod showed only half of the crew was present, and that several had fainted. Ian came over the comm again.

"Houston, this is a code red. Repeat, CODE RED! I.... I..... uh.... I think that Fox is dead, do you copy."

Not only did they copy, everyone who had access to a TV on Earth or Lylat copied too.

"We're coming in on entry interface." Ian looked right into the camera. "Krystal, Jamie, guys, I'm so sorry...."

Everyone, knew Fox was dead. There was no way ANYONE, not even the greatest hero in the history of the known galaxy, could live through that...

The funeral was seen all over the world....

"Ung...." Groaned the figure. Where the hell did this headache come from?

"Fox honey, are you coming yet?! Breakfast is getting cold!"

Fox was so tired.... What had happened? The last thing he remembered was the ship exploding.... No. He couldn't be dead. That simple.

'I'm in one of those moments. Yeah, that's it. A stress induced hallucination.'

His hallucination got even more bizarre when Fara Phoenix, his old girlfriend, walked into the...... bedroom?

"Honey, are you feeling okay? You look a little pale."

'Either I'm having a strange dream or I'm dead.'

"What happened?" Fox asked.

Fara sighed. "You mean you don't remember? Jeez, you may be a hero, but you've got a lousy memory. Don't you remember the party last night?"

Fox was vastly confused. "Why did you call me honey?"

It was Fara's turn to be confused. "I forgot you get morning amnesia. Look, you and I are married remember?"

'MARRIED?! TO FARA?! WHAT THE- HOW IN THE-?!'

"What happened to Krystal?!" Fox asked, getting even more confused.

Fara looked at him. "She died on Sauria, remember? Andross killed her. Look, don't you remember?! We've been married for a year! Now get dressed and come down to eat breakfast, your parents will be here in a few hours, and the kids need to go to school."

Fox stared at her as she strolled out of the bedroom.

'Fara and I are-... and we've got kits..... and my PARENTS?! What the hell is going on?!'

[insert Twilight Zone opening here]

What's happened is that at the very moment of the explosion, Fox McCloud, and several others onboard the test ship were ripped out of this timeline, and into alternate ones. You are the rest of the crew that are in separate timelines. Each is in a different one, and each will realize it eventually. No one is allowed in the past, and no one is allowed to interfere with Fox's. We'll figure out what happened back on Earth very soon. All you need to get started is your name, age, species, gender, what crew position you were in at the time of the explosion, (MUST BE ON SHIP AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION!!!) and a bio. The rest, well, only time will tell...

But time in this case is going to be a hell of a ride....

And it starts now.

(Please use good grammar and spelling and no small posts. A paragraph or two at least, please.)

[Guest Ian Rubin]

Walking down the steps of his house...... his house?.... towards the dining room, Fox heard several voices.

"Knock it off!"

"Well, you quit it! God, how are we even related?!"

Poking his head around the corner, Fox noticed something.

'Two kits? What happened to Jamie?'

"ANGELA! TOMMY! SETTLE DOWN!"

Both kits jumped, and instantly sat up straight. "Yes mom."

Fox grinned. It wasn't his life, but Fara sure hadn't changed a bit. He'd cooked up an ingenious plan. Walking into the room as if nothing had happened, he faked a yawn.

"Morning kids."

"Morning dad." A horn honked, and the kits kissed their dad and ran to catch the bus.

Walking into the kitchen, he looked at Fara.

'Just play along with it until you get some answers.'

Grinning, he gave her tail a hard yank, pulling her backwards. She yelped, and he caught her in his arms, kissing her deeply. Pulling away from the kiss, Fara looked at him.

"What has gotten into you?!"

He grinned widely. "Can't I kiss my lovely wife?"

She sighed. "Oh, just shut up and have breakfast."

He sat down to eat. It was different. Mainly because it lacked the spices Krystal used, but it was just..... different.

"So Fara," Fox started. "Do you remember that thing that happened to me at work?"

'Please let this work, please let this work....'

"Do you mean when Slippy dropped the wrench on your head?" Fara asked.

'OH THANK GOD!' Fox could hardly contain his excitement. "Yeah, well.... I've been having a little trouble remembering stuff. Could you just remind me of what's happened to me?"

She sighed and started cleaning up the table. "Wait in the living room, and I'll be there in a minute."

Fara took off the apron she'd been wearing and walked into the living room. 'What the hell has gotten into him lately..... I swear, sometimes I think I married a lunatic. But God, I love him...'

Fox was glancing around the room. Looked just like the one Ian had been building for him on Earth. Various pictures, awards and medals. And several pictures of Fara and him getting married and also on their honeymoon.

"Okay," said the fennec. "Where should I start?"

"The beginning." Stated Fox quite simply.

"Well, in the beginning, God created the heavens. And then he said-"

"That's NOT what I meant..." Groaned Fox.

"Oh, I know. The look on your face was priceless though. Okay, a long time ago, Andross was banished."

'So far, so good.' Thought Fox.

"Well, before that had happened, and after your mom had you, she got in the car and a bomb went off. She was badly hurt, but she was okay."

Fox looked a little surprised.

"Well, when your dad went to investigate the strange things happening on Venom, he was captured. You went over there, beat Andross, and saved your dad. He was injured, but more or less okay. Well, 8 years after that, Pepper called you to save Sauria. You went there, saved the planet, but Andross killed that blue vixen and he left. You and Falco killed him, and we got married after a few weeks. Well, one thing led to another and..... here you are with two kids and a wife. By the way, Pepper wants to talk to you, so get over to the army headquarters."

Fox had an idea. The Cornerian army must have something to contact Earth, and they could help with this...

[EvolutionSFox]

This is a fanfic, yes?

[Guest Ian Rubin]

No, no it isn't.

[EvolutionSFox]

Oh... it looked like... it too me.

Could other peoples join, stupid question probably.

[Guest Ian Rubin]

I've been waiting for that, yes. Now, is anyone going to join? I really don't like having conversations in the RPG itself.

[Guest SDI]

I'm going to join, but I'm to busy today. I promise I'll join tommorow.

*EDIT*

OK, here goes ...

Name: Saimdusan

Age: 24

Sex: Male

Species: Anthromorphic Shark

Saimdusan woke with a start. He noticed that he was in a junkyard.

"Where the heck am I?" Saimdusan thought.

Then his old freind from Aquas, Guntar the Blowfish came out, and said, "Where the doodly 'ave you been? You found anythin' interestin'?

"What the? Your supposed to be dead!" said Saimdusan, surprised.

"Dead? Doodly dey?! Is it April Fools already?"

"No ... I got off Aquas ... worked in Corneria ... then I got into an explosion ... and now I'm here ... and you died before I left Aquas!" replied Saimdusan.

"Hey, Guntar, I found some Cornerian Credits!, yelled out a voice in the distance, "Now we can eat some REAL food! For a week even!"

Saimdusan turned around. He was astonished. Guntar face looked surprised. It was somone who talked, walked, and looked exactly liked Saimdusan.

Guntar looked at Saimdusan, then the look alike, then back again.

Then the look-alike seemed to notice Saimdusan. He was very confused.

"Who are you" the look alike said.

"I'm ... I'm ... who are you?."

"Saimdusan Dragana Inayatullah" said the look alike.

"Well I'm ... Saimdusan Dragana Inayatullah, of the AquaStar Team."

"What the doodly doodle is going on? How can there be two Saimdusans?" said Guntar.

"Yes, that is the question ..." said Saimdusan 1 (the one we met first)

"PHONY!" yelled out Saimdusan 2.

"Phony!? I'll show you who's the phony!" Saimdusan 1 at Saimdusan 2. Tried to pull his mask off. There was none. Saimdusan 2 tried the same. Neither was wearing a mask.

Then a loud bang shoot out. "FEAR THE MIGHTY POWER OF THE GREAT EMPEROR, ANDREW!"

"Andrew! No time for bickering, lets get the doodly-day outa 'ere!" said Guntar.

"Andrew? He's not the emperor! StarFox defeated him!"

"StarFox? All 13 of them where killed by Andrew!" said Guntar while rnning away.

"THIRTEEN!?" asked Saimdusan 1.

"Yes, Timothy O'Donnel (the timber wolf), Wolf O'Donnel (the wolf), Leon Powalski (the chameleon), Jagg Pantheros Carosso (the black jaguar), James McCloud (the fox), Fara Pheonix(the fennec), Fox McCloud(the fox), Vixi O'Donnel (the vixen), Krystal McCloud (the vixen), Andross (the baboon), Falco Lombardi(the falcon), Katrina Lombardi (the cat) and Slippy Beltino Frogg-e Toadsworth Toad (the frog). The dreaded 14th member, Dr. von Hare betrayed StarFox and killed Pigma, his best friend.

***TO BE CONTINUED***

-TO BE CONTINUED-

[Guest SDI]

Anyone else gonna post? This is a really cool topic.

[brotheroffalco]

yeah sure just one question: Can two "people" land in the same alternate reality

anyway

Name: Edgar Lombardi

Age:22

Sex: Male

Affiliation: Falco's brother (seperated at birth) and Leader of the League of Shadows

Species: Avian

*first post later*

[Ranger One]

Hmmm.... this sounds interesting. I'm posting two characters and Bio's here, no post yet though till BOF gets an answer, cause he has a similar question to mine. What i want to ask: can two Characters (even two controled by the same person) end up in the same reality? I've got a story already set to explain how my two characters could wind up together.

Bio One:

Name: Jod Nar'itus

Age: 22-23

Sex: Male

Affiliation: Merc for hire (only for particular jobs) (Commander in Galactic Alliance of Free Federations's Armed Forces (StarFighter Command Division). I'll explain it later when i do post)

Species: Vulpine (Vulpoid)

Apperance: Redish Brown Fur (not counting typical white portions.)

Bio Two:

Name: Aile "Ace" Lixol

Age: 24

Sex: Male

Affiliation: Partner with Jod (Captain in the Galactic Alliance of Fre Federations's Armed Forces (StarFighter Command))

Species: Vulpine (Vulpoid)

Apperance: Dark redish-brown fur (with typical white pattern along belly, ect.)

Biography: Among all the heros in the galaxy, no two stood out like Jod and Ace. The only members of their species in the Republic (and later Alliance) Armed forces, Jod and Ace both signed up in time for the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion. Going straight from training to combat, both pilots soon proved themselves to be fast learners, quick thinkers, and to have uncanny piloting skills. Assigned to the same unit, these two pilots struck many blows against the Yuuzhan Vong when the Republic permited such actions. Born on Corellia, Jod is one of the few members of his race to be born off their homeworld. Raised by humans, Jod still has no clues to his true origins. Ace, on the other hand, was raised on Cerina, and had a typical childhood for a member of his species. Both Vulpines joined the Armed forces, and over the first 3 years of the War, became good friends.

Jod and Ace both saw Action over Ithor, Fondor, Bilbringi, Duro, Brental IV, and even Coruscant during the war. Both pilots flew with Red squadron, bassed off the Rebel Dream, over Coruscant (renamed Yuuzhantar by the Vong after they captured it) at the end off the war, and Both pilots were assigned to the same eliet unit after the war. Their unit, Ranger Squadron, commanded by Jod, was one of many that would provided relief and defense to worlds that had been isolated or damaged during the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion.

Unfortunatly, Ranger Squadron's fate was not to be a simple one. During a test session of a new means of Hyperdrive acceleration, which showed promise of providing longer and faster means of travel across the galaxy, the Wanderer's drive malfunctioned, catapulting the ship and its crew into hyperspace. The ship was presumed lost with all hands. In truth, the Drive had worked better than its designers had ever hoped. The Wanderer and Ranger Squadron had jumped into another GALAXY, a trip that would have taken (and HAD taken the Yuuzhan Vong) millenia to accomplish with conventional or standard Hyperdrives. Unfortunatly, the new drive unit blew out after this un-controled jump, and Jod and his team were stranded in an alien galaxy, with no means of returning home.

Making the best of the situation, Jod and Ace have been hireing themselves out as Mercenaries to various systems. The two pilots have acquired quite a reputation, a combination of both their skills and their seemingly unique craft - the Incom T-65 X-wing, expecialy the newer XJ and VK variants, are impressive craft. Jod and Ace were hired as pilots for the mission. Both had missgivings - after all, it WAS a botched Hyperdrive experiment that landed them in this galaxy to begin with - but the team needed the credits and money they'd been accumulating to acquire the proper parts to repair their M-CRV's (Modified-Corellian Corvette, AKA Blockade Runner's) damaged drive if they ever hoped to have a chance of getting home. Besides, what could go wrong?
