My Final Thoughts
By: Master Gamer
Disclaimer: I don't own a single character in this fic.
Author's note, the grammer might be a slight improvement
from the last fic I've done :). If
you don't know yet, I don't use spell-check! (I must have
good faith, eh?)
Fox's POV
I shoot down Wolf O' Donnel of the Star Wolf Team, who was
the last ship flying.
"OK, time to get this over with." I tell myself.
I'm a little nervous, but I know this has to be done.
"I'll go it alone from here." I announce over my CB.
"FOX!!!!" Peppy screams over the CB as I advance into an
underground tunnel to face my destiny.
The tunnel is long and skinny, with many forks. Suddenly, I
hear a voice over the CB.
"I've been waiting for you Star Fox, you know that I
control the galaxy, you
will feel TRUE pain!" The voice taunted.
"Arrr... Andross! I hate you!" I think to myself as I
advance deeper, and deeper into the tunnel. I reach the
end, and discover a wide-open area. with a green sky.
Suddenly, Out of nowhere, Andross appears with his two
hands.I shoot everywhere, I don't care where I shoot, this
man tortured and killed my father. Andross, lets out a cry
of pain, then, parts of his body begin melting away
everywhere, what was left was a brain and two eyeballs.
"Only I have the brains to rule Lylat!" Andross boasted.
"Yeah, right, monkey breath." I think, as he begins to toss
his eyeballs at me. The eyeballs come closer, and closer,
with every move I make. I pull a sudden loop around and
blast it to bits. Andross doesn't even seem to care.
Doesn't the guy notice hes half blind now? Geez, I think
I'd notice. What I didn't notice, until now, was that my
ship was running on half power, and that my right hand, had
some cuts on it from the fight with Star Wolf. I switched
to my left hand, and destroy the other eyeball. Andross
screams, and begins to chase me. Does this guy have psychic
rader or something? Because I know I destroyed the eyes. I
loop around only to land in Andross' tentacles.
"AAHHHH!!!!!" I Scream in pain, as the tentacles smash me
and my ship around. When the pain finally stop, My ship's
two wings have broken off. As Andross
flys away, I do a 180 mid-air turn and start blasting all
my lasers and bombs at him. Andross screams in pain as he
releases his last words.
"If I go down, I'm taking you with me!"
I don't have a good feeling about what Andross said, so I
put the Arwing on auto-pilot just to be safe. Suddenly, a
huge explosion occurs in front of me.
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I scream as pain wracks my body as all
parts of my body are slammed against the cockpit walls, the
seatbelt doesn't help much. As the second explosion occurs,
I am thrown back against my seat, before everything goes
black.
---
I am slowly awakened by a familiar voice.
"Don't ever give up my son." The voice encourages.
"Father?!" I ask, suprised. Can it be? After all this time?
"Follow me Fox." My father leads.
A huge wall of fire runs directly behind me. I follow my
father's every turn, trusting he knows the way better then
I do. My father sharply banks up, I do the same as the wall
of fire emerges from the tunnel below me. I spot Great Fox
and my wingman, I look around, but see nothing else.
"Fox, is something wrong?" Peppy asks over the CB. I stare
into the infinity of stars before responding.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong."
The truth suddenly dawns on me; It was only my fathers
ghost leading me out. of the tunnel. I stare out into the
infinity of stars wondering if I'll ever see him again.
I set the controls to auto-follow Peppy, which is like an
auto pilot that flys in the direction of the wingman of my
choice, which is Peppy.
"Fox, are you OK? You and your ship looked pretty banged
up." Peppy concerningly asks.
For the first time in a while, I actually notice my fur
covered body hurting.
"I'm fine." I lied. In truth, I didn't really know if I was
OK. I begin to feel extremely tired from the fight with
Andross.
"Peppy, how long until we get to Great Fox?" I ask Peppy.
"A couple hours, say you don't look to good Fox." Peppy
responds.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm on auto-follow to you" I lied
again to Peppy.
I lay my head back in my seat as Peppy, Falco and Slippy
jump into hyperspace, after a couple minutes into
hyperspace I fall asleep.
---
I awaken in a room in the sick bay section of the Great
Fox. I notice bandages cover most of my Arms and a part of
my left leg, shoulder and stomach, my head is pounding. I
walk out of the room, still half-asleep and run into a few
walls, before seeing a room that says "Peppy" on it. I walk
into the room.
"Hi Fox." Peppy greets me.
"Hi Peppy." I greet back.
Peppy is just laying there on the bed, he looks a little
hurt, but not much, if at all. I leave the room and go to
the room that says "Falco" on it. I enter the room to find
Falco asleep. I decide to not wake him and leave. I now go
to the room labled "Slippy" and enter. Slippy too, is
asleep, so I leave without a second thought. Out in the
hall I am told we are approaching Corneria and that General
Pepper of the Cornerian army would like to talk to me.
Great Fox lands, and General Pepper steps in to speak to me.
"Thank You Star Fox, we are in your debt. I would be
honored to have you as-" Pepper begins, before I cut him
off.
"No sir, we prefer to do things our own way." I respond.
"Fox, we gotta go." Peppy tells me as he walks toward me.
"It's time for us to go, sir." I announce, as I walk back
into the ship.
---
I look back on Corneria city, the city that was destroyed,
is now rebuilt, the evil reign of Andross is over. Or is
it? I wonder. Nothing could have survived that blast, or
could it have? I let my mind shift from the subject. I
remember my father, I wonder if it was just his ghost, or
if he was actually alive somewhere out there in the Lylat
System, maybe I'll never find out. I look through the
window, staring, as I ride off, into what could be my next
adventure, I'm not scared, Andross was the worst, nothing
could scare me now. I know I have grown stronger over the
years, and that I will be stronger then my dad one day,
because I am Fox McCloud.
