(Outer Space)

Krystal continued to fly her Arwing across the mass of burning steal and space debris. She had downed a few more Venomian fighters that were targeting the Great Fox. The only problem she was facing at the moment was that she could not catch a break. Every time she had downed a few more Venomians, the Cornerian Fighters needed back up for an overly aggressive enemy pilot, and vice versa. There was also the threat of the massive V.S.S Oikonny and its millions of defenses shooting out at whatever flew by, even without the red laser she had taken out of commission. She needed to formulate a plan quickly if she was going to finish this fight alive.

"How are you holding up, Slippy?" Krystal asked as she evaded an incoming enemy missile from her three o clock.

"Not too good here Krys, I've managed to down a few fighters down but there is too many of them. If this keeps up, we're the ones who are going to need saving!" Slippy said with great concern in his voice.

"I'm afraid you might be right. We are in dire need of a plan…" Krystal said as her mind started racing with some sort of plan that might give them an upper hand.

After what seemed like a good five minutes, Krystal felt like she had formulated a decent plan. However, in order for her plan to work, she was going to need another person on her team.

"R.O.B, what is the condition of Falco's Arwing? We really need him about now." Krystal asked as she continued fighting the enemy fighters as best as she could.

"His ship is almost prepared, Miss Krystal. The repair mechanism is working as fast as it can." R.O.B responded.

"That's fine, just please inform Falco that we need him out here in the battlefield as soon as his Arwing is fully repaired." Krystal gave out a small sigh as she told herself to deal with the time delay.

"Will do Miss Krystal, I'll inform him at once." R.O.B. said as he left the vixen return to her task at hand.

"So what do we do now, Krystal? We can't continue to fight the rest of Oikonny's rebellion between the two of us, there's just way too many of them!" Slippy asked as the two star fox fighters seemed to just float amongst the vast space wreckage.

"Unfortunately you're right, Slippy. However we can't stop fighting them, everyone is counting on us to help them out. We're just going to have to last long enough for Falco to rejoin the fight…" Krystal said as she watched a Cornerian space craft succumb to the damage received from the Rebellion's forces and explode in a mighty ball of fire and metal.

"...But don't worry Slips, I think I have an idea crazy enough to work." Krystal added as she revved up her Arwing and rejoined the massive fray ongoing outside of Earth.

(Ground Forces)

"Delta 6-1, do you copy?" Alex spoke into his headset as he trekked his way through the woods, Miyu following close behind.

"Roger, glad to hear your voice Werewolf 1. What's your status?" McRanger responded as he ordered his men to take positions behind a demolished building facing the White House's northern face.

"I'm currently trekking the little patch of woods on the South Lawn with a Cornerian soldier who came and recovered me. I didn't sustain any injury from the crash however my jet isn't in working condition, so we're rendezvousing on your position…" Alex began to say over the radio

"No, stay on that side. We have a better chance of cutting off the Russian president from an escape route if we have someone waiting for him from behind." McRanger replied as he interrupted Alex from what he was about to say.

"Ok, so we'll stay on south side. Just let us know when you and your team are breaching so that we can enter the White House at the same time." Alex said as he signaled for Miyu to stop advancing right as the trees began to clear out, giving them the few of the white house a few yards away.

"Will do, Stand by for further orders." McRanger replied as he prepared his team to begin the final moments of their mission and capture the man responsible for all the deaths and troubles caused in the last two weeks for the sake of revenge.

(Inside the White House)

"Your greatness, the cloning process is complete!" Andrew heard one of his henchmen shout from his position in front of a computer.

"Finally, we'll be able to get out of here soon. This place is really beginning to lose its welcoming feeling…" Andrew said as he got up from his makeshift throne and began walking over to a large plasma filled tube hooked up to a bunch of machines in the center of the room.

He marveled in awe as he saw the tall naked figure of power, control and above all else, intelligence floating inside the green plasma. Andrew placed his right hand on the glass of the tube, he could feel the soft whirring of the machines it was hooked up to, and continued to marvel in every recreated detail he saw in front of him. He didn't get to marvel too much however, because over to his left side, Andrew could see his right hand man standing nervously behind holding his hands in fearful way.

"Greg, my most faithful companion, servant and favorite imbecile; on a normal day, I would have yelled at you for showing your stupid scarred face unannounced while I marveled at my greatness. But today is different. Behold with your insignificant eyes, the mastermind behind chaos itself!" Andrew gloated as he placed his right arm behind Greg and pushed him forward to get a better few of the being inside the plasma.

"My lord…is-isn't that the g-great and t-terrible Andross?" Greg whimpered as he saw the dark emperor's body floating lifelessly inside the plasma tube.

"Indeed it is. He is the only one, besides me, who can bring our rebellion back to its former glory and destroy anyone and anything in our way with his intellect alone. It won't matter who the Cornerians send anymore, all will fall to the iron fist that is Andross Oikonny, The Dark Emperor!" Andrew continued to shout as he envisioned the future of his rebellion at the hands of his uncle.

"That sounds w-wonderful my lord, however I have some n-news to tell you. The Russian president has sent to tell you that the enemy is right at our doorstep. He plans on using his satellite to destroy the place and has request for you to evacuate the area at once."Greg replied as he informed Andrew what Vasily had sent to tell him.

"Hmm, I supposed we've outstayed our welcome. Alright then, order the evacuation and tell everyone to set their priorities on Lord Andross and me. Inform President Vasily that our agreement has been paid in full and that we will no longer need anymore of his services. If he tries to argue with you, kill him." Andrew said as he began walking off and preparing to evacuate himself to safety.

"Yes my lord. I will do it at once."Andrew heard Greg respond as he went off to go do what he was told, leaving Andrew by himself to evacuate him and his uncle to safety.

(Inside the Oval Office)

President Vasily sat quietly behind the mahogany desk in front of him, his head tilted forward as he kept his eyes peeled on his lap. In his hands, he fiddled with a stray 9 millimeter brass bullet that belonged to his gun, which lay patiently on his lap like a cat would on its human owner. His mind was beginning to race negative thoughts as he waited patiently for Oikonny's right hand man to come in through his door and tell him the dreaded words he did not wish to hear. He continued to fiddle with the bullet as he pressed his thumb and pointer finger and rolled it in his grasps. It wasn't long until he heard a knock on his door, to which Vasily grabbed the clip to his gun and placed it back in its place, cocking his pistol and placing it out of sight.

"Who is it?" Vasily asked, his tone was grim and dark as night.

"It's me, Greg." Vasily could hear Andrew's henchmen reply through the solid white door in front of him.

"Come in." Vasily said as he swallowed a gulp of his own saliva and tried not to show any emotion with his reply.

He watched as the human like ape opened the door and walk into the office with him. Vasily was surprised to see Greg alone without any of Andrews other men walking around with him as the ape drew closer and closer to his desk. Vasily also noticed that Greg now had a pistol like weapon wrapped around his waist, something that he didn't have before.

"What else can I do for you and your lord?" Vasily asked, he eyed the creature in front of him with a sharp gaze.

"Lord Andrew wishes to inform you that your agreement to him has been paid in full, and that we will no longer require your services."

Vasily was surprised to hear those words come out from Greg's mouth. He was expecting to hear that Andrew was upset and had sent his henchmen to dispose of him; however it appeared that things had gone off well.

"Understood, tell Andrew that I will join him in the evacuation momentarily..."

"I'm s-sorry sir, but you will not be joining Lord Andrew in the evacuation. As I -I said before, you have paid your part in the agreement, and Lord Andrew has paid his part. From now on, you are on your own." Greg Interrupted.

Vasily was shocked at what he was just listening to. He could not believe that Lord Andrew, someone who he considered an ally, someone who he had given a place to recover and achieve his goal, was about to throw him away like he was some sort of garbage. He would not stand for this, and Vasily was instantly filled with rage and anger at this magnitude of betrayal.

"D-Do you understand, you are on your own." Greg repeated as he watched President Vasily's head tilt downwards as he looked at the floor beneath his feet.

"Oh I understand…" Vasily responded; his voice was low and menacing like.

"Good, then I wish you the best of luck." Greg replied as he bowed his head down and began making his way over to the white door.

Before he could make it to the door, Greg suddenly heard a loud bang ring within the walls of the room. His vision began to blur instantly and he hit the floor with a sickening thud. He could feel a sharp pain clawing away at his chest followed by a warm oozing feeling as he lay motionless, paralyzed by shock and surprise at what was going on. Greg could feel his body being pushed over onto his back as he found himself face to face with President Vasily, who was holding a matte black pistol with his left hand.

"I will not allow you to run away without paying for your betrayal. You and the others will pay with your lives if you think you can discard me like garbage, I promise you that. Now…I wish you the best of luck, in hell." Vasily said with a menacing growl as he pointed his pistol at Greg's head and pulled the trigger.

Vasily watched as the life drained from Greg's eyes before he lowered his gun and began to make his way out of the office. He wiped his blood splattered face with his right hand as he made his way over to Andrews's location.

(Over on the East Coastline)

Fox, Fay and Fara flew their Arwings with expert precision as, one by one; they helped knock out the enemy fighters from the coastline's airspace. Fox was rather impressed with the Americans aircrafts, as they proved to be a lot quicker than he had imagined, however their weaponry could be considered old age by Cornerian standards. Still, he had to give them credit; the Americans were getting the job done with those jets. It wasn't too long before there were only a handful of the enemy fighters left in the sky, signaling that the dogfights would soon be over.

"Thank you Fox, you and your team saved us and the Americans a bunch of casualties. We should be able to handle the situation accordingly now." Fox heard Sergeant Davis' thank over his headset.

"Roger that Davis, I'm glad we could help." Fox said as he looked at the surrounding battle area and noticed the multiple plumes of smokes rising from the aircrafts that had been downed in the prior moments before his arrival.

The coastline looked just like a metallic graveyard, with metal and toppled buildings being littered all the way up to the blackened beach sand. It would take years for the Americans to rebuild what Fox would have imagined once been a beautiful white sandy beach where families could splash around in the blue water and play in the sand. He thought about how he would feel if Andrew had done this to the Cornerian people, and the feeling just enraged Fox to an incomprehensible state.

"Fox can you hear me? Please Respond." Fox suddenly heard Krystal's voice ring out over his headset.

"I can hear you loud and clear. What's up?" Fox replied with a hint of concern in his voice.

"Fox, We need you and the others to come out here and help me and Slippy out. Things are getting a little hectic out here." Fox could hear Krystal say with a grunt as she tried to maintain control of her Arwing.

"Hmm seems like we've underestimated the amount of firepower Andrew still…" Fox gave off a bothered sigh at the thought of being at risk of getting downed by no other then Oikonny's rag tag flyers.

"Big time, they even managed to take Falco out of the scene. That's why I'm calling you for help, so that we don't risk losing anyone on our side. Are you able to make it?" Krystal responded again with a great deal of strain on her voice.

"Roger that, we've just about finished here on the coast. I'll give the orders to Fara and Fay to follow me up there as well. Miyu's down on the ground assisting Alex so he should be good."

"Thanks Fox, we'll try to hold our own here till you and the others arrive." Krystal responded as she cut her radio com free from Fox's frequency and returned to the battle at hand.

'Please do…' Fox said in his mind as he switched his radio over to the team's frequency and prepared to give his flight team their orders.

"Alright everyone listen up. I've just got the word that we've done our part of the job down here on earth. That's a good thing, because I just finished speaking with Krystal and it seems like Andrew is packing a lot more heat than we anticipated. So, that being said, I have our new orders. We are to rendezvous with Krystal and help relieve the stress our forces are taking from the Rebellion." Fox said as he switched his Arwings mode from stealth to space fighter.

"What about Miyu? Is she coming along?" Fay asked curiously as she and Fara began to follow in their leaders footsteps and switch their space fighter modes to some more suitable for space combat.

"No, she'll stay behind and help our asset with whatever he needs done. But don't worry, we're almost done here. If we keep up with good work, we'll be back in Corneria before you know it." Fox said as he cranked up the power of the Arwings engine and shot off into space, his two comrades following him closely as they rocketed off to help their friends in need.

(South Lawn of the White House)

"This is it. We capture those two bastards and this whole entire problem is history." Alex said mostly to himself as he prepared his mind for what was about to happen.

"How did this even happen? Why would one of your kinds do this to the rest of your kind?" Miyu asked as she tried to figure out how this whole ordeal started.

"Hatred, anger, vengeance, damaged pride, and god only knows how long the list can get. But if I had to sum it up to one thing, I would say it's just the human nature of things. The Russians are still upset about the way the world listens and follows the United States policies and diplomatic solutions, as well as the fact that they lost a war fought a long time ago." Alex said as he himself tried to pin a reason down on why this situation was even happening.

"Wow, sounds like you humans live a pretty complicated life, not to mention the fact that you guys are literally killing each other for no apparent reason…" Miyu sighed as she was beginning to get tired of waiting behind a bush for something to happen.

"Yeah, not really something to be so proud of in all honesty, however despite all of the conflicts and hatred, humanity has always managed to show a good and peaceful side. I just wish that it would last forever." Alex sighed as he repositioned himself so that he could have a clear view of the white house from where he was.

"Yeah, sure does make me think of how lucky I and the others are that Lylat is in a wonderful time of peace right now." Miyu replied back as she too repositioned herself to get a look at the building Alex was looking at.

Alex didn't say a word as his mind began reviewing his memories of the calm and loving planet he had spent two weeks on that was Corneria. It felt soothing to see that there were no worries to be had, no struggles to be seen and no conflict at sight. It was the perfect blend of harmony between the various cultures Corneria had to offer and crowds of civilians walking about their days, doing normal everyday things like working and spending time with loved ones. It was a spectacle that humanity could only dream of having for a moment, something that would be nearly impossible for humankind to achieve.

"Alex, can you hear me?" McRanger's voice snapped Alex out from his train of thought.

"Yes sir, Is everything set?" Alex asked as he lowered himself as to not give away his position to any enemy soldier looking out the White House windows.

"Yes, we've started our assault on the North side. It looks like what's left of the Russian forces is primarily focused on us, so this should give you no problem with sneaking from behind and capturing our targets." McRanger responded as Alex and Miyu could hear the sound of gunfire echoing off into the distance ahead of them.

"Roger that. Me and Miyu are going to start heading inside and looking for the targets. I'll keep you posted on what's going on inside." Alex replied back.

"10-4. Stay frosty." McRanger said as he left Alex to proceed on with his task.

"Alright, Stay close to me and keep your movement as silent as possible. We're going to head inside of that building." Alex said as he got up from his position in the bush he was hiding behind, and began making a swift path over to the rear entrance of the white house.

Miyu followed closely as she was told, right arm hovering over her blaster as she and Alex quietly and carefully made their way to a set of satin white double doors and crouched on opposite sides of the doors.

"Alright, on three we breach. Since you have the weapon, take point and signal when you're ready to go." Alex said as he got up with his back against the walls of the white doors, and placed his right arm over the right hand door.

Miyu couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. She had never been a part of any ground force, nor even seen any boots on the ground action in her days of serving under the Star Fox team. She had only heard of stories from Cornerian Defense soldiers who had, and to be honest, they didn't exactly have the best experiences when it came to breaching any enemy compound.

"Hey, focus and relax. Everything is going to be alright." Alex said as he put his right hand on Miyu's blaster, which she had unknowingly started shaking as her mind began surging with a wave of adrenaline.

"O-ok, I'm ready." Miyu said with a shaky voice as she took a quick gulp of fresh air and gripped her blaster with a death grip.

"Alright then; one, two, three…" Alex whispered quietly as he swung open the backdoors of the white house while Miyu took aim at what could potentially be a building filled with Venomian and Russian hostiles.

To her surprise, she didn't see anyone standing down the long red carpeted hallway that she saw in front of her. She was relieved but at the same time confused as to why the enemy would leave the backdoor so unguarded at a time like this. She didn't have too much time to wonder though, because Alex had already made his way halfway into the hallway and was looking inside the empty rooms that spotted the long corridor.

She closed the doors quietly behind her and began making her way over to Alex, who had now taken position behind a small brown table with white and blue vase on top of it, right before the middle of an intersection of another hallway that ran across the one she and Alex were currently in. She saw Alex look back at her, and signaled with his hands to take a position on the opposite wall he was currently at. She did as she was told, however she was rather confused as to why Alex was hiding behind a table for.

"What are you doing, shouldn't you be looking for your targets?" She whispered loud enough for Alex to react by lifting his hand to stop talking.

"There's a patrol coming, stay quiet and stay low." Alex responded as he returned his attention ahead of him and waited patiently for the right moment to strike.

Miyu watched carefully, albeit still a little confused, as she saw two humans wearing dark green camouflage uniforms with matte black metallic riffles strapped on to their backs walk by carrying what appeared to be large containers filled with riffles and other firearms. She didn't say a peep as she watched the men walk a little more than three quarters of the way before Alex moved from his location and stealthily moved behind the two men. She didn't even have time blink as she watched Alex quickly throw a mean sucker punch on the back of one of the soldiers head causing him to drop his crate and lose his balance, while his other friend turned around just in time to see Alex serve him a quick head-butt to the face. With the two men disoriented, Alex made quick work of the two soldiers as he served the two a few more punches to the head before they lay unconscious on the floor.

"Hey, I thought you were a pilot?" Miyu said with a great shock as she saw Alex unstrap one of the rifles from the beaten soldiers on the ground.

"I am, but I had to go through six months of mandatory G.I basic training before I was able to start pilot training." Alex responded as he grabbed a couple of magazines from the other soldier and stuck them on his metallic exo-suit.

"McRanger, do you copy?" Alex said as he took a quick survey of the area as he took the safety off of the gun and cocked int.

"Roger, what's the news?" McRanger spoke over the sounds of bullets being fired onto the enemy.

"We're inside the house; I just intercepted two Russians carrying crates of firearms over to the other troops. The weapons are American, so by the looks of things, they managed to find the Secret Services armory." Alex said as he rummaged through the weapon crates and found a pistol he could use as a secondary.

"I suppose so. Well at least now they won't put up a fight for too long. We're concentrating everything we've got on to take out as many as we can before we storm in. In the meantime, keep searching for those two S.O.B's." McRanger replied back as he returned to laying siege to the front gates of the White House.

"Affirmative, I'll keep my eyes peeled." Alex said as he turned back around to look at Miyu and nodded with his head to follow him.

Alex and Miyu started going down the new hallway that they encountered the two men on as they looked for the Russian president and Andrew Oikonny, carefully checking each room for the two responsible for the chaos down on earth. As they traveled the velvet carpeted corridors, Alex and Miyu would occasionally encounter rushing soldiers that were frantically trying to hold back the American assault. At first Alex would take out a few of them carefully as they unknowingly ran past him, but after a while, Alex would notice that the groups running back and forth were beginning to grow larger.

"We've got to hold off on the takedowns, I think they're starting to notice that something's going on and people are missing." Miyu whispered as they reached yet another intersection between two long corridors.

"Yeah you're right and we're so close to finding those two bastards. It would only be a major obstacle if the enemy tries to find and stop us." Alex replied as he hugged the wall closely and peered around the corners to see if the coast was clear.

"I think I know where Andrew and the Russian president are. Let's just hope that we don't run into any heavy enemy presence on the way." Alex said as he got up and turned right onto a newer hallway.

They moved quietly as Alex continued walking towards the direction of the East Room, Miyu following closely behind him. Fortunately, the two encountered very little enemy presence along the way and within five minutes, Alex and Miyu found themselves face to face with the double doors that belonged to the East Room.

"They're in there; I can hear multiple voices coming from behind the door." Alex said as he pressed his right ear against one of the doors.

"Right, that means that there are going to be a ton of enemy soldiers inside versus us two. I don't think charging in would be such a good idea." Miyu said as she too placed an ear on the door next to Alex to hear what was going on inside the room.

"We won't have to; I've got something that will help lighten the load." Alex replied as he held up a couple of green egg shaped capsules up to Miyu's face.

(Inside The East Room)

"Vasily, relax. I did not betray you. I wasn't planning on leaving my only ally behind…" Andrew chuckled nervously as he found himself face to face with the barrel of President Vasily's pistol.

"Do you think me a fool, you are only saying that to safe your own pathetic life." President Vasily responded with a vile growl.

"No, no, no. My assistant Greg relayed the message all wrong." Andrew gulped as he nervously held both his hands up in the air.

"Likely story, I've already dealt with 'your assistant'. Now if you value your life, you will evacuate me with the rest of your crew, do you understand?" Vasily threatened Andre; jabbing the barrel of the gun forcefully against Andrew's forehead.

"Yes sir. I'll inform my crew at once." Andrew gave a quick nod from his head as Vasily lowered the gun away from his face.

At that moment, the room was filled with the sound of multiple explosions going off at once, debris and shrapnel flew everywhere as multiple soldiers from both leaders side sustained massive damages and fell to the floor. Amongst the sound of explosions, Vasily and Andrew could hear the sound of doors bursting open and an unfamiliar voice begin shouting out loud. Vasily looked in pure horror as he could see an American soldier aiming an assault rifle right at him, the moment he had been fearing for all this time.

"Unite States Marine Corp, drop your weapon and put your hands in the air!" Alex shouted as he aimed his assault rifle down at the Russian President and the alien being, he presumed, was Andrew Oikonny

"You're on your own, Bye now!" Andrew said as he pressed a button on his wrist watch he had on and began to fade away into a beam of light, leaving President Vasily behind.

"YOU BASTARD, YOU'LL REGRET BETRAYING ME ANDREW!" Vasily yelled as he unloaded a few shots into the beam of light Andrew gone in with hopes of injuring the backstabber who had left him behind.

Alex and Miyu quickly took cover as they heard Vasily's gun go off, the sounds of the bullets ricocheting filled the room. Alex peaked his head over his cover and saw President Vasily looking dead at him like a dear looking at headlights, before he began to run away from him and Miyu; Vasily throwing his empty pistol at Alex to try slowing him down.

"Hey! Come back here, you son of a bitch!" Alex shouted angrily as he began to give chase behind the scared Russian president.

"Delta Six, I've found the targets however one of them seems to have teleported and I'm currently chasing the Russian president." Alex shouted over his headset as he chased the Russian down the white house corridors.

"Stay on 'em Werewolf one, the sooner we capture that bastard the sooner this battle is over. Don't let him get away." McRanger responded as he and the rest of the American Ground forces continued laying siege to the enemies within the white house.

"Roger that, He won't get away." Alex spoke as he continued giving chase behind the Russian President.

Alex kept his eyes trained on the back of the man responsible for all the innocent lives lost as he chased him relentlessly, chasing him like a hunting dog would chase a scared fox in the forest. Alex felt his blood race and his heart thumping madly as he inched closer and closer to President Vasily. Every time Vasily would turn to a new corridor; Alex would be right on his heels. Vasily tried to slow his pursuer by throwing down anything he could behind him, but no matter what he would throw down, Alex would swiftly and rapidly move around each obstacle. Vasily new that it would only be a matter of time before Alex would catch him and force him to submit, so he had to act fast if he was going to outrun the American currently chasing him.

Vasily quickly made a sharp turn on the hallway which led him to the oval office; Alex following hot on his trail. He had to make it to that office so that he could unleash his last resort plan. It wasn't long before Vasily had arrived to the door of the oval office, as he quickly opened the door and slammed it shut behind him. With a short burst of energy, Alex sprinted as fast as he could over to the door he saw Vasily run in, and slammed his entire body onto the door. The door shattered as Alex's exo suit made contact with the fragile wooden door, exposing president Vasily standing right behind the presidential office holding a remote control with a bright red button.

"It's over. You've got nowhere else to run and you're completely surrounded by American soldiers. Surrender now and you'll live to see another day." Alex said as he spoke between short puffs of breath.

"You don't say. I wouldn't say things like that not knowing everything that is going on. It's just the typical American thing to do." Vasily smiled creepily as he waved the remote control in his hand.

"What is there to know, you lost. Anything you do now would be pointless and a waist of your resources. It's just the typical Russian thing to do, to try and fight the inevitable." Alex retorted back, keeping a sharp eye on Vasily's remote control.

Vasily then started laugh maniacally, the room echoing with the laugh of a madman who has nothing left to lose, putting Alex more on edge as he watched the Russian President break down in a fit of laughter.

"You know, I somehow expected this to happen. The moment I would be eye to eye with my enemy in a final stand where everything I have ever lived up to would be on the line. It's exhilarating, really. I knew that I was going to get surrounded, I knew my alliance with that scum Andrew was nothing but a fluke, and above all else, I knew that my vengeance would come in the final moments of my life. Now there's nothing left for me but a glorious death for my motherland." Vasily began his monologue as he finished his fit of laughter.

"What are you talking about, what is that remote button for?" Alex began asking as Vasily fiddled with the mysterious remote control in his hands.

"This button, My friend, is the button that will end my legacy!" Vasily said as he pressed down on the button before Alex could react, and Alex suddenly felt like something terrible was about to happen.

"What did you just do you coward? What did you just do?" Alex shouted angrily as he tackled the Russian president onto the floor and began to beat him with angry fists.

(Outer Space)

"That's another one down! Gee I'm so glad you and the others are here, Fox!" Slippy said Fox and the rest of his squad began to clear up the area of Venomian fighters, leaving only a hand full behind while Krystal placed damages onto the mother ship of the Venomian fleet.

"Yeah, I was beginning to think me and Slippy were going to end up like Falco." Krystal said in a joking way as she continued to lay down a barrage of laser fire onto the hull of the V.S.S Oikonny.

"Oh ha, ha; that's really funny Krystal, god you should be a comedian." Falco said as he was still a little upset about what had happened to him earlier with the whole 'taking out the mega laser' incident.

"Bring it down, guys. We're not done here. We still need to knock down some more enemies, and then we can talk about what happened later." Fox said as he calmed his teammates down and continued shooting Venomian fighters out of the space zone.

"Fox, this is Alex, can you hear me?" Fox heard Alex's voice come over his headset.

"Yeah, what's going on?" Fox responded as he continued to fight the remaining Venomian fighters.

"I need you to take a look at your surroundings. The Russian president just pressed down a button but I don't know what it is controlling. Is there anything out of place near you?" Alex asked as Fox began to look around his area.

"Yeah actually, there's this satellite looking think charging up just outside of Earth's atmosphere, like it's giving off some kind of light energy or something." Fox responded as he saw a metallic structure floating not too far away from his location.

"Dear god, he's unleashing a K.E.M. strike. Fox I need you to take that satellite out. If that thing fires its rods, a lot of people are going to die." Alex responded as he suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.

"Ok, Don't worry. I'll take that satellite out right away." Fox responded as he turned his attention over to the satellite.

Fox flew his Arwing across the space debris littered everywhere as he made his way over to the satellite. Once he was within reach, he fired a small barrage of laser fire onto the satellite, but was surprised to see that the satellite was undamaged by the laser fire. He also noticed that the satellite had begun firing its countermeasures right at Fox. He evaded the satellite's mini rocket fire and waited till the satellite was dormant again.

"Alright, if normal laser fire wont damage this thing, let's try fully charging it." Fox said as he charged up his laser fire and watched as two heavy beams of laser fire began making its way over to the K.E.M Satellite.

This time, Fox saw that the lasers had penetrated the thick metallic structures hull, however the satellite was still charging up its rods. Once again, Fox evaded the next barrage of countermeasures as the satellite tried to destroy its attacker, and once again Fox waited for the satellite to go dormant again.

"Alright, it's time for a smart bomb. That should do the job quite nicely." Fox said as he switched his Arwings ammunition over to his smart bombs, and prepared to fire one directly into the laser hole he had made earlier.

Fox placed his Arwing into position as his crosshairs lined up perfectly to the satellite. He fired a smart bomb at the satellite and watched as the missile began making its way over to it. It didn't take too long for the smart bomb to hit its target, and with a satisfying display of red and orange, the satellite blew up into small chunks and began to descend into earth's atmosphere.

"Alright Alex, the satellite has been taken care of." Fox spoke over his headset as he flew his Arwing back towards the rest of his team to finish the Venomian forces once and for all.

"Thanks Fox, you really are a life saver." Alex responded as he gave an unconscious President Vasily a menacing glare.

"No problem, buddy. Are you all done down there on earth?" Fox asked curiously.

"Yeah, we've got our man, however that guy Andrew seems to have teleported away or something." Alex replied back.

"Hmm, he might be on his mother ship right now; if that's true then we can…"

"Hello there you pests, it is I, the great and powerful Andrew Oikonny. It's good and all that you came here to help some puny little humans reclaim their territory and what not, but the real threat is here to come. While you were all busy fighting and capturing enemies, I have managed to revive the one and only person capable of bringing Lylat and all the other star system down on their knees. All Hail the newly revived, Lord Andross! You will not win this war, Star Fox. My uncle will make certain of that!" Fox suddenly heard a familiar voice that he had come to loath.

"Andrew! You won't run away this time. Everybody, focus all fire unto the V.S.S. Oikonny!" Fox shouted as he ordered his team to stop Andrew from running away.

"I've already runaway, you dumb fox! But worry not, for we shall meet again, and when we do, that will be the last day alive! Be certain of that, Star Fox!" Andrew replied back as he closed the transmission and left Fox alone to his shock.

"Team what's the status of the Oikonny? Have we disabled it?" Fox asked as his mind began racing with a wave of emotions.

"It's gone Fox, it just disappeared suddenly." Krystal responded as she stopped flying around the area and tried to scan for any sign of the Venomian mother ship.

"My scanners aren't picking up anything, it's like the ship was never here at all!" Slippy added in over the radio.

"Typical Oikonny, running away whenever he's losing, we'll get him the next time we see him." Falco sighed as he also couldn't pick up any readings on the V.S.S Oikonny.

"Alright team, let's head down to earth, there's nothing we can do about Andrew right now." Fox said as he too could not find a reading on the Oikonny. The sudden realization that Andross was back began to trouble fox deeply, as he began to remember everything that had happened while that evil monster had been around. This was truly a shocking discover that Fox had not been ready to hear.

(Back on Earth)

"There you are, I was looking everywhere for you!" Miyu heaved as she finally found Alex inside the room looking down at a bloody faced President Vasily.

"Sorry about that, I couldn't let this coward runaway." Alex said as he prepared to lift the unconscious man up and place him on his shoulders.

"Nah I get it, its ok." She replied back as she helped Alex place the man on his shoulders and prepared to carry him out to the rest of the American Forces.

"Thanks for helping me out Miyu. I know this was a little out of your comfort zone." Alex thanked as the two began to make their way to the front of the White House.

"You know, it wasn't really that bad. I haven't gotten such a rush in such a long time. It made me feel so alive." Miyu chuckled nervously as she walked along side Alex.

"Yeah, it was like that for me too when I first started. But in all honesty, I'll stick more to my flying." Alex continued the conversation as they finally arrived at the entrance to the White House.

The firefighting had come to a complete halt; the entire north lawn of the White House was filled with makeshift medic tents tending to all wounded soldiers, Russian and American soldiers alike. The Russian soldiers who weren't injured were all being escorted over to a separate camp which would send them over to a military compound to await trail. Alex looked up in to the sky to see the remainder of the Air Force units flying in the storm grey sky, the sound of the jets rushing by filled Alex with a sense of accomplishment and ease that he had not felt in a long time. He returned his gaze back towards the ground and with a quick scan; Alex found where McRanger and Nick were talking to each other about the battle moments before.

"Well then, look who we have here. I'd say that our little resistance movement was a complete success, huh gentlemen." Nick said as Alex joined the other two men, with Miyu right next to him.

"Yeah, despite having heavy casualties on our side, we managed to get the job done. Just shows to prove that those good lives lost that day were not in vain. Restoration is going to be a pain in the ass, though." McRanger responded.

"That's true, that K.E.M. Strike really did a number on the landscape, but things will be back to normal before you know it, especially now that we've captured this poor bastard." Alex said as he jolted his shoulder to show who he was talking about.

"If it were up to me, I'd have executed this coward on sight. I can only say that god has mercy on this pig's soul. Go put him up with injured in the med tents." McRanger spoke as he pointed Alex over to the medical tents.

"Yeah, I'll be back. Miyu stay here, I'll only be a minute." Alex replied as he made his way over to the med tent to drop off President Vasily.

It took him less than five minutes to hand Vasily off to the medics. They took President Vasily's unconscious body over to an open stretcher and tied him down in case he woke up and had any ideas to run away. With that being done, Alex returned to the group he had left and saw that Fox, Krystal and the rest of the Star Fox team had arrived as well.

"Good to see that you made it out alive and saved your people." Fox said as he went up to Alex and gave him a brotherly hug.

"Me too, but I didn't do it alone, I have all you guys to thank. If we hadn't all done our parts, we'd have all been dead right about now." Alex responded, giving off a relieved sigh.

"You're welcome pal, we'd always come to help a friend in need." Falco spoke as he placed his left arm over Alex's shoulder and nudging him with a playful elbow.

"Glad to know that. Did you guys manage to capture that Andrew guy?" Alex asked as he remembered that Andrew had teleported away from the East Room.

"Nope, he said some things over our radios and then vanished. But Andrew's going to be the last of our troubles." Krystal replied as Alex noticed that she had a grim look on her face.

"Don't worry; we'll stop Andrew and the rest of his goons from causing any harm." Fox said as he noticed a man walking towards them wearing a blue suit and being accompanied by four men dressed in black.

"Major Simmons, Sergeant Simmons, I want to commend you gentlemen for your bravery and resourcefulness that you have displayed for your country today. I also would love to thank Sergeant Davis for providing us with the reinforcements needed to make this mission a success. I believe I can speak for the entire American people when I say we are truly indebted to you and your planet." President Whitley spoke with gratefulness and joy as he joined the large group of soldiers taking to one another.

"No problem Mr. President, the Cornerian government would aid any who need her help." Nick replied as he gave President Whitley a small nod.

"Thank you for your reassuring words Sergeant Davis, now all that is left for us to do is rebuild. I know it may not look like good right now, but you all can stay and rest up here for as long as you need to, and I will guarantee that you that you get the best that my country has to offer." President Whitley said while looking at Nick and the Star Fox crew.

"We appreciate the offer Mr. President, my team and I would love to stay, but we have to return back to our home world as soon as we are able to." Fox responded just as Nick was about to say his response to President Whitley's offer.

"I understand. I hope we can soon cross paths again. Maybe our worlds could arrange a treaty with one another and trade our cultures with each other." President Whitley said with a smile on his face.

"Perhaps one day Mr. President, I'm sure we can settle something out." Nick replied.

"Well I'll let you guys attend to your matters. Just remember that you are always welcome in the United States." President Whitley said as he gave a crisp salute to the hero's of the resistance and went off to do his duty as Commander and Chief.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye." Alex said as he took a look at Fox and the rest of his team.

"Yeah, I guess so. I'm sure going to miss the time we spent on Corneria, Alex." Fox responded as he reminisced the two weeks that Alex had spent with him and the rest of the team together.

"You'll still be able to communicate with us, I placed a built in wrist communicator into your exo suit, so don't feel shy to give us a call!" Slippy said as he was the first one to give Alex a goodbye hug.

"Yeah, and maybe whenever you have some free time you can swing on through for another two weeks in paradise with us." Falco was next to say, as he too gave Alex a brotherly goodbye hug.

"We could also share some of our newer adventures with each other, whenever we all meet together again." Krystal was next to say, giving Alex a warm comforting embrace.

"And remember, we've always got your back if there is ever a moment that you need us, I promise you that." Fox finished while he grabbed Alex's hand and shook it firmly.

"Thanks you guys, I'll make sure to hit you guys up every once and a while to see what's going on in your side of the universe. I hope we can all stay in touch and visit each other soon!" Alex said as he watched all the members of the Star Fox team make their way to their Arwings, expect for a certain lynx.

"I have to say, I've never had quite an adventure like this in a while. I'm really glad I got to take part in this and help you out." Miyu said as Alex noticed that she had a little bit of a red glow showing up on her cheeks as she thanked him.

"I'm glad you decided to help me out. Hopefully you can have some more adventures that will quench that daredevil side you've got, Miss Miyu." Alex said, giving Miyu a smile that only made her cheeks redder.

"We'll see. Don't be a stranger now!" Alex heard Miyu shout as she made her way over to the location of her Arwing over in the forest he had crashed landed in.

He continued to watch as she ran farther and farther away until her body had been engulfed by the outline of the trees, leaving only Alex, McRanger and Nick left standing where the others had once been.

"Hey, looks like someone's got an eye for you." Nick joked as he looked over at Alex with a grin.

"Oh please, you've got it all wrong. She's only met me for like twenty minutes." Alex stated as he shook his head to what Nick was implying.

"Yeah right, I saw the way you smiled at her, and the way her face blushed when you pointed out her 'daredevil side'. Isn't that right, Sergeant McRanger?" Nick added on as he looked over to McRanger, who was standing right next to him.

"Looks like she's into you, if you ask me." McRanger responded, Shocking Alex with his response.

"I didn't think you the type to joke around Sergeant, but like I said before, you've got it all wrong." Alex responded as McRanger shrugged his shoulders at Alex's remark and Nick chuckled at Alex's denial.

"Well, I'd love to stay and Chat, but I've got to get going back too. General Pepper will want to hear a full report about what happened here on Earth, and truth be told, those reports can be quite a handful. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet you gentlemen, I'll be looking forward to the day we all see each other again. Stay safe, my friends." Nick said as he said his goodbyes and made his way over to the remaining Cornerian Forces he had brought with him. Alex and McRanger watched as Nick pressed a few buttons on his wrist and began to fade away much like how Andrew did a while back, leaving only the two men alone in battlefield surrounded by tents and people rushing by.

"You did a good job out there soldier, you've earned yourself some rest time." McRanger said to Alex as he placed a hand on Alex's left shoulder.

"Thanks, you did a good job too. We all deserve a little rest." Alex replied back as he felt McRanger's hand pat his shoulder twice, before he began walking away towards one of the tents to find a place to lay down for a minute, leaving Alex alone standing in the clearing.

Alex looked up into the sky and watched as Star Fox Arwings flew past the American sky until they were out of his sight. He gave out a little sigh as he continued to stare at the grey cloud filled sky and thought about everything that had gone on in the moments before. As he continued to think, Alex began to notice that the clouds were starting to part, and the blue sky began to show. He smiled as he began to feel the sun's rays land upon his face, and in the corner of his eye, he noticed that a bald eagle had flown down from a crack in the sea of grey cloud. He continued to watch the magnificent bird fly in the sky before he decided to join McRanger in a tent, smiling as he made his way over.
