This is my second story, a sequel to A Lifetime Overture. This story is canon, with little to no recap. This story is being written as I go along, so bear with me. This is, as you may know know, a homosexual fiction done by a non-homosexual man, who has no problem with homosexuals (otherwise I wouldn't be writing this fic). The writing style of multiple perceptions has been adopted by from my dear friend and fellow writer, DraconisIndex, and his story, Corneria University. With that said, let the story begin.

Falco

As we left the Cornerian atmosphere in the Great Fox, I couldn't help but to look at the pair of starcrossed lovers now engaged in a deep kiss. I couldn't help but wonder how these two arch nemeses found love in each other. My unspoken thought was answered by a reptilian voice that echoes through the mind, even if it was just used." One of the great mysteries of the universe," crooned Leon sagaciously.

" You got that one right, lizard. How could the two that used to be locked in dogfights be locked in a kiss instead?"

" The real wonder is that we're on this excursion with them. I guess we have to get along better, now that we're going to be on the same team."

" Don't get your hopes up, lizard." We made the jump to hyperspace, and found ourselves in the middle of deep space, surrounded by stars. On our left, a huge planet made entirely out of wolfrum lumbered towards the Fox on its frivolous journey around its stars. Once it cleared the window, the whole group, including the now detached canines, caught their breath. Before us was a beautiful planet that shimmered with crystals; its atmosphere was a glorious turquoise, with the land masses a lade green. This is one planet I hadn't seen, and I'd seen a lot of planets. ROB spoke up over the intercom," the planet is called Plurinthus. There are signs of life on the surface; the people are advanced in mathematics, science, and technology. This utopian society has many strange traditions, but have tolerance of other systems of belief."

" thank you, ROB. That is all," commanded Fox as ROB began to lecture on the planet's history. The android quickly silenced, but still moved his mouth as though he thought we might want to know more. Fox then turned his attention to us." We will be staying near this planet. Wolf and I will honeymoon there; right, puppy?"

" We have reservations for the hotel here." Answered Wolf as he took over." If you don't mind, you guys can stay here and be alert. Otherwise, we can make reservations. But be warned," Wolf added with a smirk," we won't be holding back."

We all decided to decline.

Once the two honeymooners had left, the shuttle returned to a silent state. The former Star Fox team muttered to each other, not engaging us at all. Panther broke the silence by wooing Krystal, but I stayed behind, retreating to the wall and camouflaging seamlessly into the metal wall. I retired to find some peace in my subconscious; I felt more relaxed when I had time to just think. I was still deep in thought when I felt someone walk up to me. I tried to blend further into the wall, and became perfectly coordinated with the wall.

" You're not fooling me, lizard. Why are you being so reclusive," asked Falco as I came out of hiding.

" I'm thinking. Leave me be."

" what're you thinking about?"

" The infinite depth of the universe and the medley of a tune simultaneously. Saves time that way," I said as nonchalantly as I could. On the inside I was almost laughing.

"...ok. Well, we need help prepping the shuttle, and you have to have the official tour."

" Do we really have to do a tour-?!"

" Yes; it's standard procedure."

" Very well. Let's get that over with."

With that, Falco turned and made a mock formal announcement that the tours would commence. Panther would go with Slippy and Krystal, while I was stuck with Falco and Peppy. The tour wasn't especially good, but it was decent. We saw the rooms and the engines, all the while Peppy muttered on about the history of the craft. We were walking back to the bridge when Falco stopped rather abruptly." I knew I was forgetting something," Falco exclaimed." Follow me; there's something you've gotta' see."

Falco

" I knew I was forgetting something," I exclaimed." Follow me; there's something you've gotta' see." So they followed me back to the elevator. From there, I took them to the lower level under the rooms. As the doors opened up, we saw a whole floor taken up as a recreational facility; there were weights in one corner and a swimming pool to the other, but in the middle of the facility was a black cube eight feet in every direction erected in a deep black metal that was cold to the touch." This is the B-SIM battle simulator. The metal on the outside is solid Wolfrum, but overlaid with a crystal local to Neodia. Any simulations in progress appear on the outside of the box per user choice. Stepping inside," I said, enjoying myself and the look of awe on Leon's face as I opened the cube," you can see that there are docking stations. The interface will recognize your resonance chip and, upon recognizing you, will create you a perfect clone in simulation. Once you've connected, the machine injects a motor neuron blocker, immobilizing the bodies of the users so that no injuries are obtained during combat." I led them out of the cube and back into the elevator." Let's go back to the bridge; there's something up there for Panther and you."

Leon

" Let's go back to the bridge;" said Falco as he led us to the elevator," there's something up there for Panther and you." Once we reached the bridge, we exited the confines of the elevator into the main control room of the massive spaceship. It was empty, save for ROB and the control panels. I turned around and asked," what are we here fo-" before Falco held my shoulders and hugged me tightly. I didn't know what was going on when, suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck. Then the whole world turned white and blurry." What was that for?!"

" Quit your whining, lizard," Falco retorted." You need a chip to access the ship."

When my vision cleared, the entire bridge was augmented, with a little panel with my heart rate. In the top corner, a little message popped up, saying," Welcome to team Star Fox, Mr. Powalski." The interface was smooth and all of the information was accessible." Well I'll give you this," I said with a smirk," you guys definitely know how to get under someone's skin, bird."
