(At the Lin Kuei Temple, Sub-Zero and I are looking around for the other three teams. Ron has already left with the two future prisoners)

Me: (looking at my radar) Okay, the signal's still feint, but if my hunch is correct, I should say they're somewhere within the southeast.

Sub-Zero: That's where the Grandmaster's room resides.

Me: Then let's head there.

(We reach our destination after about ten minutes. We enter to see Falco, Dante, Rigby, Raven, Stryker, and Nightwing bound to the floor by a red armored robot.)

Sub-Zero: Sektor.

Sektor: Kuai Liang.

Me: That's your name?

Sub-Zero: Yes. Noob Saibot was my brother, Bi-Han. He was the original Sub-Zero before he was killed by Scorpion. I assumed his codename to honor him.

?: And honor him you shall.

(A puff of black smoke appears behind Sektor and Scorpion appears, dealing a strong punch to his head)

Me and Sub-Zero: Scorpion!

Sektor: So, I was right. You have switched sides thanks to Raiden.

Scorpion: I only did it to avenge my clan.

Me: And now you will pay for your treachery. You readers enjoy this new story.

The Mercenary and the Princess

Chapter 1: Crash Landing

(Lylat System, Outside Corneria, 8:47 PM)

The Star Fox team, a group of mercenaries for hire that cooperate with the Cornerian Army, are in the middle of a dogfight with the infamous group of mercenaries, Star Wolf. Fox McCloud, the Star Fox team leader, is in pursuit of Star Wolf leader Wolf O'Donnell.

"There's nowhere to run, Wolf!" Fox called out to his part-time rival.

"Who needs to run when you can fight?" Wolf retorted as used his Wolfen to somersault over Fox's Arwing.

"Watch out, Fox! He's about to fire." Falco Lombardi, the team's ace pilot, warned. However, Fox couldn't hear him as Wolf shot Fox's right wing and engine.

"Ah, shoot! I'm hit!" Fox reported as he began spiraling out of control.

"Fox!" Krystal, Star Fox's newest member and Fox's main love interest, cried out. She was rescued by Fox when her home planet of Sauria began to fall apart and he had to make peace with the planet's inhabitants, the Earthwalkers, to put it back together. Fox tries to stabilize and level his ship, but a swirling green portal unexpectedly opened in front of him.

"What the…?" Fox asked himself. He didn't have enough time to evade the portal and it sucks him through, closing afterwards. Both mercenary teams were shocked at the sight of Fox disappearing from the fray.

"What just happened?" Slippy Toad, Star Fox's mechanic, asked his teammates.

"Whatever it is, I hope he ends up dead. Panther, Leon, we're done here." Wolf commanded as the three Wolfens flew out of view, leaving the three Arwings to drift along the fabric of space.

(Enchancia, Castle, 8:46 PM)

Inside a purple-roofed castle, a young girl with fair skin, auburn hair, and sapphire blue eyes wearing a cyan blue nightgown and a pink amulet with a white border is in her bed looking at the starry sky. As she let out a small smile, a grey rabbit hopped on the bed.

"Enjoying the stars tonight, Sofia?" the rabbit asked.

"Yeah. My dad told me about a special time in the evening where you can see only shooting stars." Sofia said as a blue jay and a robin flew in from the window.

"Yeah. And it just heard from the observatory that it will start sometime tonight." The blue jay added.

"That sounds amazing. I hope we get to see them." The robin said in happiness. Then, there was a flash of green light outside. The girl and the three animals looked outside towards where the light came from and they saw what looked like a shooting star, but it was coming into the field.

"Was that one of the stars?" the blue jay asked.

"I don't know, but I'm going to check it out. Clover, Mia, Robin, come with me." Sofia suggested.

"We're right with you." The rabbit, Clover, responded as he, Mia, and Robin left outside with Sofia.

(Moments ago…)

Fox was in a nosedive about to crash into an open field. Fortunately for him, there was no one around the soon-to-be impact site. The Arwing crashes into the field and it slides across the ground for a few meters before coming to a complete stop. The clear blue cockpit opens and Fox jumps out of the downed ship. His attire consisted of a green jumpsuit under a white flight jacket with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. A red scarf was wrapped around his neck and he sported a black belt with a triangular buckle. He also sported red-and-black tanker boots. A scouter-like device was mounted on the right side of his head, on his hands were red-and-black fingerless gloves, and a hexagonal device was strapped to the left side of his waist. The vulpine looked around and the environment looked unfamiliar to him. He attempts to contact his teammates.

"Falco. Come in, Falco." Fox said into his communicator, trying to contact the former gang member. Unfortunately, there was no response.

"Slippy? Slippy, are you there?" He tries again and no response from his friend either.

"Krystal! Anyone, answer me!" He tries once again, but still no response. After his last attempt, he gives up.

"Great. I can't contact my team, my Arwing is badly damaged, and there's no one around for miles." Fox said to himself, looking around. "I guess I should explore while I still can." He starts to proceed towards a nearby town, but he suddenly starts to feel woozy. "Huh? I… feel sleepy." He falls to the ground face first, exhausted from the dogfight earlier. His vision was very blurry, but seconds before passing out he saw a small blue figure approach him as his eyes closed shut into unconsciousness.

(Sektor is lying on the ground in defeat. Scorpion destroys the metal binds with his swords)

Dante: Thanks for the help. Though, I could have used my guns to get out and fight him myself.

Sub-Zero: When it comes to fighting a powerful opponent, no one is alone.

Scorpion: I agree.

Raven: Let's take this Lin Kuei traitor back to the studio.

Me: You just read my mind, Raven.

(Back in the studio, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and I place Sektor in a cell between Quan Chi's and Noob Saibot's)

Sub-Zero: That's three locked up today.

Me: I see that.

Scorpion: What do you plan on doing now?

Me: Well, I'm about to upload this new story and if I have time I'll get started on the new chapter.

Scorpion: Sounds like a plan.

Me: I might as well get started. You readers leave a review if you liked it. Peace out, friends!
