The Andorian Resistance was an alley to Corneria in the fight against Andross. It was a league of hotshot pilots who preferred a mercenary way of life. The resistance members were currently on a mission to Katina so they could destroy a biological weapon site. Several teams of resistance members scurried out of the installation. Along them were two wolves. Their names were Mary Beth and Matt Starlight. Mary was 25, 5'6", she had brown eyes and hair. There was a white stripe down her forehead. Her fur was grayish, but on her front side there was white fur extending from the bottom half of her muzzle to her waist. Her tail was very bushy. It was grey with a white and black tip. Matt was 26. He was 5'7". He also had grey fur all over. His tail was bushy and there was a white tip at the end. Matt also had a white stripe down his forehead.

Mary and Matt ran to their team's assigned transport. Mary Beth struggled not to give in to her exhaustion. The bomb exploded, knocking Matt and Mary down to the ground. Matt quickly got up and ran over to Mary. She was in pain because the explosion had thrown Mary on her sprained wrist. "Mary! Mary! Are you okay?" Matt asked.

"No, I won't leave you here to die! Come on, I'm getting you to that transport." Matt said. He picked up Mary in his arms, and ran to their transport. Matt finally reached the transport and climbed in with Mary Beth. He sat down next to Mary just as the shuttle took off. Mary rested her head on Matt and kissed him.

The next morning, Matt awoke with Mary's paws around him. "Honey, wake up." Matt said. He nudged her gently.

"Ten hundred hours. We're approaching Corneria." Matt said. He handed her a thermos.

"Coffee. I thought you'd need some after what we went through last night on Katina." Matt smiled.

"You're right," Mary said. She put the thermos down and brushed back her brown hair. "How do I look?"

"You know, I've always wanted to meet Fox McCloud and Fara Phoenix..." Matt said.

"Are you kidding? It was all over the news. Where have you been?" Mary laughed. The transport came to a stop in Corneria City. The hatch opened and led towards the CIA building. Matt helped Mary out of the vehicle. They both reached General Pepper's office.

"You two are very lucky. It's hard to get on the Star Fox team. Especially right now. I've already sent your papers to Fox. You'll meet him tomorrow. We've got quarters for you onboard Great Fox. It's a bit small. They used to be Fara McCloud's quarters. Before she married Fox. I've arranged a transport to head up there right now. It's empty, and you two are free to wander around. Fara had her old quarters specially decorated, so look for a pink door." Pepper explained. He walked them out of his office and escorted them to a landing pad. Matt and Mary climbed aboard the automated transport. Matt helped Mary into a seat. The shuttle took off, and the image of Great Fox began to get larger.

It had been almost nine months since Vixy McCloud junior had stepped out of hiding and introduced herself to the Lylat system. She was put on the Star Fox team by request of her older brother, Fox. Fara was going through the last stages of her pregnancy. Because Fara was due to give birth in about a week, General Pepper had given her and Fox three weeks off under maternal and paternal leave. The Great Fox was empty and in dry-dock high about Corneria. The rest of the Star Fox team was on vacation.

Fox and Fara lay asleep in bed of their two story house. Fara's alarm clock went off. Fox woke up and rubbed his paws in his eyes. Noticing that Fara was still asleep, Fox reached over her to turn it off. The alarm terminated. He noticed that it was almost 11:45. Fox shook Fara gently. "Fara. Hey, Fara." Fox whispered. A smile came on to her face.

"Fara, it's almost noon. Get dressed, we have to get to Great Fox." Fox told her.

"No. We have to meet two new additions to Star Fox. I don't think you know them, but in their personal files, it said that they both graduated from your old high school the same year they did." he explained. Fara got up and put some of her new clothes on. She took out a pair of shorts and put them on.

"Hey Fox, where's that sweat shirt you always used to wear?" Fara asked. She stood at the dresser inside their bedroom.

"It's in the third drawer down. Can you see it?" Fox asked. Fara opened the drawer and saw Fox's teal blue sweat shirt. She took it out and put it on.

"Yeah, I've got it!" Fara replied, "Hey Fox, do you know what the names of the new additions are?"

"Yeah. Let's see, I think their names were Matt and Mary. I forgot their last names. Does that bring back any memories?" Fox asked. He walked out of the bathroom wearing blue jeans and a large white t-shirt.

"Yes, in ninth grade. I met two wolves, Matt Starlight and Mary Emerson. We became best friends and did a lot of fun stuff together. At the middle of our freshman year, Matt and Mary fell deeply in love. They also went to the spring prom together. Mary was on the track team. After we graduated, they got married. It was a small ceremony. I was the bridesmaid. Later, Matt told me how he proposed to Mary. It was in the park on a date. Mary and Matt were kissing in a gazebo under moonlight. Then he knelt down in front of Mary, took out a shiny silver box with a diamond ring, and asked her to marry him. Three months after their wedding, they both disappeared. I thought they were dead. I wonder how they are." Fara said to herself. Fox took out a picture from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Is this them honey?" Fox asked. He stood beside Fara and put his paw on her stomach. He was feeling for one of the twins to kick.

"We go to Great Fox and greet them. After that, we go to Macbeth and pick up their Arwings. Then tonight, a formal ceremony is held." Fox explained. "We'd better get going."

"You're right. Let's go." Fara replied. Fox helped her stand up. They both walked out of the house and got into Fox's car.

It had been three hours since Fox and Fara had left. They walked down the empty halls of Great Fox. Fox held paws with Fara. They stopped at Fara's old quarters. Fara knocked on the pink door of her old quarters.

"Fara!" Matt exclaimed. He opened the door and saw his old schoolmate. "Fara Phoenix! How long has it been?"

"Ten years. It's McCloud now. This is my husband...." Fara suddenly couldn't remember his name.

"Oh, that's right!" Fara said. She scolded herself for forgetting her husband's name.

"She's asleep. We've had a long trip. Oh, are you expecting?" Matt asked. He looked at Fara.

"Uh, I don't mean to interrupt you two, but it's getting late. Fara, we'd better get some sleep. We can talk in the morning." Fox suggested.

"Alright." Matt agreed. Fox and Fara walked out of Matt's quarters and went to theirs. Fox changed out of his hot flight suit and got into bed. Fara slowly got in next to him.

"Nothing. One of the twins just kicked. I'm fine." Fara assured him. She lay up against Fox and put her paws around him. Fara was soon asleep.

It was three hours after everyone was asleep on Great Fox. Suddenly, alarms sounded throughout the ship. Matt awoke startled. So did Mary. "Matt, what's happening?!" Mary asked.

"I don't know. Come on, let's get to the bridge." Matt answered. Matt and Mary walked out of their quarters and went to the bridge. Fox and Fara were already there. "Mother of God..." Mary gasped. Thirty Venom warships had completely surrounded Great Fox. Wolf O'Donnell's image appeared on the view screen.

Fara became frightened. Flashbacks of when Wolf tried to abduct her started pouring through her mind. "Fox, get him away from me!" Fara cried. She cowered behind Fox. Wolf finally spoke.

"In ten hours, you'll love me. That's why. Now, if you surrender yourself, I'll let your husband and friends live." Wolf ordered.

"Well you are! As we speak. fifty Venom troops are boarding your ship. You're coming with me!" Wolf said smiling. His image disappeared from the view screen. Fara started to sob.

Several troop ran on the bridge firing their blasters. Matt, Fox, and Mary were stunned. Before Fara could react, a lizard came up behind her and stuck a syringe in her arm. She fell to the floor. The troops dragged the four of them to the shuttle inside the launch bay.

"He's gone, Mary. Wolf took him about an hour ago. Matt is being tortured right now." Fox said. He was trying to comfort her. Wolf came in their cell dragging Matt's battered body by his paws. As the force field dropped, Wolf threw Matt into their cell. His body slammed hard into the wall. Wolf quickly reactivated the force field.

"Yes!" Wolf scowled. He left the room. Mary crawled over to Matt. He was barely alive. His shirt had been torn off, there were whip slashes all across his chest, his body was battered and beaten, blood was dripping out of his mouth, and his left leg seemed to be broken.

"Mary... I-I-I-love-you..." Matt whispered. He could hardly word out a sentence.

"No! Don't leave! Stay with me! You're stronger that this! Fight it! Don't fall asleep! We need you! I need you! I need a husband! Oh god, no!" Mary cried out in despair. But it was too late. Matt had given into his overwhelming desire to sleep. She lay her head on Matt's bare chest and started to cry. All Fox and Fara could do was sit and watch. Mary really began to let out the tears now. The ruffled fur on Matt's chest was not wet, but Mary didn't care. She continued to sob on top of Matt's crippled body. Mary rubbed her muzzle up against his body.

"Mary, Matt is alive. He's gonna make it through the night, but it won't help if you're sobbing all over him. Matt wouldn't want it. Come on, let me help you up and you can sit next to us." Fox offered.

"Okay." May cried. Fox helped her sit beside Fara. Fox sat on her other side. As soon as Fox sat next to Fara, she scolded him.

"Look at the condition she's in. Mary needs to be comforted." Fara explained. She placed her paws around Mary and comforted her. Mary had soon fallen asleep. Fox still sat beside Fara. She looked up at Fox.

"I don't know. The contractions are getting shorter apart. I can't stay like this much longer. Ugh... Fox, I think it's time." Fara said.

"Fox, this isn't something I can control. It just happens. Oh god, it's starting! Fox, do something!" Fara cried. Fox stood up at the cell door.

"Help! Someone please help!" Fox yelled. Wolf got up from his seat and walked up to Fox's cell.

"My wife! She's going to give birth! Please help her!" Fox cried. Wolf grabbed a med kit, lowered the force field, and handed it to him.

"Your family's life is in your hands McCloud. Don't fail them." Wolf said. He raised the force field and left the brig. Fox knelt in front of Fara and attempted to deliver their kits. Matt and Mary still were both asleep.

Wolf walked into his quarters. He lay on his bed and thought of the events that had just happened. Why had he done it? He could of just let Fara and her kits die, but he didn't. Was he getting soft? What was happening to him? He didn't have the answers, just questions. It would not matter. For he was going to commit an act that would force Fara to him forever.

Fara sat up against the wall. It was an hour since Wolf had settled in his quarters. She was exhausted as she continued to give birth. "It's almost over Fara. Just a few more pushes." Fox said.

"That's easy for you to say!" Fara said, moaning. Fox pulled the twins out of her. She sat back relieved. Fara startled to breathe normally again.

"There. It's over... Fara say hello to our kits." Fox said. He's took off his shirt and wrapped it around both of the kits. He handed them to Fara. Fox started to patch Fara up. Fara held the twins in her arms.

"Fox. Look, they're so cute!" Fara whispered. Fox finished patching up Fara and put the med kit away. Fox sat next to Fara and put his paws around her.

Mary woke up dazed. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Fox and Fara were asleep. Both of the newborn kits were held tightly in their Fara's arms. Mary crawled up to Matt's dying body. She felt a strong pulse. "Matt. Matt, please answer me!" Mary cried.

"Yes, you are. Don't move. You're injuries are very severe. I'm not going to leave you."

"Yes. You, your husband, and Mrs. McCloud's newborn kits. Don't ask me why I'm doing this. I just am. Get up and take Fara's kits." Wolf ordered. Mary got up and knelt beside Fara. She took both kits from their mother.

"Follow me." Wolf said. Mary followed Wolf down the halls of the Fox Hunter. Wolf led Mary into one of the escape pods. Then he dragged Matt's crippled body in next to Mary. Wolf closed the hatch and launched the pod.

Fox woke up in his cell. Fara was crying her eyes out. "Fara! Fara, what's wrong?!" Fox asked. He put his paws around her.

"They're gone! Our kits are gone!" Fara cried hysterically. Wolf walked up to their cell.

"No, they're not. Your friends have them. All four of them are drifting in an escape pod heading towards Corneria. I let your children live. Be thankful." Wolf explained. He left them alone and walked out of the brig.

"Fox, tell me this is all a bad dream! Tell me that we're still in bed onboard the Great Fox!" Fara pleaded. She wrapped her paws around Fox's body, placed her head on Fox's bare chest, and started to cry over the separation from her kits.

"Fara, I wish it were. I promise that we'll escape. I swear that we'll be back on Corneria, and we'll raise our kits. I promise. Okay?" Fox asked.

The next morning, Wolf came up to their cell with a gun. He lowered the force field and grabbed Fox by the arm.

"Okay Fara, for them." Fox said back. Fox walked over to Wolf. He raised the force field so Fara couldn't escape. Fox and Wolf walked down the corridors of the Fox Hunter towards Leon's torture chamber.

"Why? You could have let my wife and kits die, but you didn't. Why did you do it?" Fox asked in disbelief. Wolf stiffened and answered his prisoner.

"I-I-I love her." Wolf confessed. The doors opened and Wolf took Fox into Leon's torture chamber. Leon was sitting at his desk fixing the whip that he had beat Matt with the day before. He look up at his new victim.

"Oh good, your shirt is already off. Saves me the trouble of ripping it off!" Leon sneered. Wolf threw Fox to the ground and turned to leave.

"No. I'm going back to the brig. I have a few things to do with Fara while I seduce her!" Wolf smiled.

"If you try to take advantage of my wife, I'll kill you with my bare paws you sick bastard!" Fox screamed.

He left Leon's torture chamber and headed towards the brig. Leon took Fox and placed him on the cold metal table. It was the same table that Katt was restrained on when they both surrendered eight months ago.

"Well, the last time you were here, I had the pleasure of torturing Katt. Now it's your turn!" Leon sneered. He finished locking the restraints which held Fox up.

"I'm going to batter and beat you up like I did to your friend Matt." he smiled. Leon took the whip off from the table, and started to slash Fox with it. Fox let out screams of pain, and yelled for Fara to be with him. Leon continued with his savage beating.

At the same time as Leon was torturing Fox, Wolf was in Fara's cell. "Get away from me!" Fara screamed. Wolf wrestled Fara to the ground, sat on her, tore off all of Fara's clothes, pulled down his pants, and started to rape her. "GET OFF ME-NO!" Fara cried out loud. Wolf wouldn't get off. She lay restrained under Wolf and struggled to throw him off. Wolf continued to seduce her, but Fara pushed him off. Wolf became stunned. Fara got up, walked over to him, and kicked Wolf continually until he was bleeding on the floor unconscious.

Fara quivered and lay shocked in her prison cell. She was terrified. Wolf had just raped her. Fara started to put her clothes back on. Her sweat shirt was destroyed. Fara's shorts had been severely torn. She put on whatever she could. She fled out of her prison cell in her underwear. Fara ran down the corridors of the Fox Hunter looking for her husband.

Leon slashed mercilessly at Fox with his whip. Fox had lost all of his strength. Confident that Fox couldn't get up, Leon released Fox's restraints. Fox fell to the floor. Leon walked towards Fox with a tazor. He held up Fox against the wall. His claws jabbed into Fox's throat. Leon took the tazor and rammed it into Fox's bare chest. Fox was in agony. Fara rushed into the room and was shocked at Fox's injuries. "My love-NO!" she screamed. Fara gathered all of her strength and charged at Leon. She struck Leon unconscious. Fox dropped to the floor. Fara knelt beside him.

"Don't try to talk. I'm getting us out of here!" Fara panicked. Blood was all over Fox's body. He was in the same condition as Matt was when he had come back from his torture. Fara struggled to drag Fox to what looked like an escape pod. Fara read an inscription on the door. It read 'Wolf O'Donnell's personal escape pod. Private property'. She lay Fox down gently and forced off the lock to Wolf's personal escape pod. The black hatch, and launched the pod.

Mary sat up against the wall of the small escape pod. Mary was able to heal Matt's severe injuries with a med-kit that she had found. Matt was not able to move. All his cuts and bruises still ached. Matt lay next to her. She lay in her jeans and bra. Mary had taken off her shirt, tore it up, and bandaged some of Matt's cuts. She held both of Fara's kits. A survival pack lay next to her. It was empty. They were out of food and water. The newborn kits were crying. "Mary, do something." Matt said.

"What? We've never had kits before! I just changed them. I think they're hungry!" Mary panicked.

"Breast feed them? Yes I can, but what if they don't take? I'm not their mother. If they don't feed from me, they'll be finished!" Mary explained.

"Well, I've never done this before, but okay, I've got my paws full. Could you hold these two?" Mary asked.

"Yeah," Matt said. He took both kits from Mary. Mary moved her paws behind her back and unstrapped her bra. She placed it beside her. Matt handed the twins back to Mary. She cradled the newborn foxes in her arms. Mary held them up to her breasts. The twins began to feed from Mary. "How do you feel?"

Matt smiled at the question. "Sure, when this war is over. I'll pick you up in my arms, carry you to our beach house on Katina, open a bottle of champagne, and lay down with you next to a romantic fire."

"It's a date." Mary smiled. "All we have to do is survive. Hey, I think they're asleep."

"That's good. We've only been in this thing for almost two days now. We should be spotted by a Katina patrol by tomorrow morning. Why don't you put those two little ones down and come over with me?" Matt suggested.

"Okay." Mary said. She took the bundled up twins and set them gently beside Matt. Both of them still lay peacefully asleep. Mary took her bra and strapped it back on. She lay on the other side of Matt. Mary placed her paws around Matt's body. She took her muzzle and nudged up across Matt's chest. Tears began to pour out of her eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Mary, everything will be fine. We'll be okay." Matt comforted.

"No it won't! We'll never be rescued, we'll never make love and have kits, and Fox and Fara's kits will die because of us!" Mary cried. Matt placed his paws on Mary's shoulders and shook her hard.

"Mary, listen to me! We'll live, both of the kits will live, and we'll make love to each other in front of that romantic fire in our beach house, I promise! But right now, all we can do is wait. Okay?" Matt asked.

"Okay!" Mary cried. She knelt beside Matt, dug her muzzle hard into Matt's scarred chest, and cried her eyes out. Matt put his paws around Mary and pulled her up against his body. Mary climbed on top of Matt and stroked her body up against him, with her nose still buried in Matt's ruffled fur. She soon fell asleep with her husband's arms around her. Matt closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Fox woke up confused. He rubbed his paws at his temples to relieve the headache he had. Fara sat across from him shivering. It was only when Fox finished rubbing at his eyes, he saw what Wolf had done to her. "Fara, where are your clothes?" Fox asked.

"W-w-Wolf came into my cell. Then he forced me on the ground and stripped me naked! After that, he pulled down his pants and -he-and-he- RAPED ME!" Fara cried, hysterically. Fox opened a nearby storage closet locker and took out a blanket. He sat next to Fara and covered her with it. She sat on his lap, nudged at Fox affectionately with her muzzle, then hugged him tight.

"Okay." he replied. He placed his paws around her. Fara just sat there with him. "Fara, everything is going to be alright."

"No, it's not! Fox, Wolf impregnated me! Now I'm stuck with his kits! He violated me! Fox, I want Wolf to be stopped! I wish he would leave me alone!" Fara sobbed.

"He will. Don't worry Fara, he will!" Fox promised. Fara cried herself o sleep. Fox sat with Fara asleep in his lap.

Mary woke up in a bright room. A light was shining in her face. She lay on a medical bed. "Where am I?" she asked, sitting up. Bill gently pushed her back down on her bed.

"Well, Mary, we found your escape pod drifting by. Luckily, we got you here just in time." Bill explained.

"But how?" Bill asked. He was very confused. Mary spent most of the day telling him their story. She told him about joining the Star Fox team, being ambushed by Star Wolf and Fara giving birth in their prison cell. Matt was rolled in on a stretcher. He was unconscious. Bandages were wrapped all over his chest and face. He was rolled over next to Mary's bed. Bill looked at his watch. It was 20:45. Vixy would be making dinner by now. "I'd better be getting home, Mary. I'll visit you before I leave in the morning."

"Good night." Mary replied. Bill walked out of the room and shut the door behind him.

Matt suddenly let out a yawn. "Matt!" Mary cried. She got up and went over beside him.

"That's wonderful. The doctors say I'll be back to normal tomorrow. If these bandages come off. Mary, remember in the escape pod and you said that you wanted to have kits with me?" Matt asked.

"Come on Mary, tell me. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We'll have as many as you want." Matt comforted.

"You'd better get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning." Mary said. She kissed Matt Good night and climbed back on her small hospital bed. She turned out the light and pulled the covers over her. Mary soon fell asleep dreaming of having a family with Matt.

It was 11 p.m.. Bill and Vixy lay in the small bed of their apartment. Vixy lay next to Bill with her arms around him. The phone rang, startling Vixy. She clamped herself on to Bill, but let go when she saw it was just the phone. Bill sat up and rubbed at his eyes. He picked up the phone. "Hello?" Bill asked. He was still half asleep.

"Sir, sorry to call you this late, but we found both of the McClouds." the voice said.

"Their escape pod just landed over at our base. They're both in the hospital." the officer said.

"I'm on my way." Bill said. He hung up the phone and started to put on his clothes.

"Yes. Come on, we're going." Bill said. He zipped up his jacket and grabbed his sunglasses from the desktop and helped Vixy up out of bed. Vixy randomly picked out an outfit and got dressed quickly. Bill and Vixy were soon on their way to the hospital inside the Katina Central Command (KCC) base. It was only twenty minute drive, but traffic was always a problem inside the huge base perimeter. Even early in the morning.

Matt and Mary lay asleep in their medical beds inside their large hospital room. There was enough room for six beds, but with all the medical equipment, it could only support four.

Fara lay asleep in the bed next to Mary. She held both of the sleeping kits in her arms. They were both wrapped in separate blankets instead of Fox's old blue sweat shirt. Fox was in surgery because of his severe injuries that Leon had inflicted.

Vixy and Bill sat in the waiting room of the large base hospital. They both lay asleep. Vixy woke up. She looked at her watch. It was 0900. Vixy turned to Bill and nudged him. "Vixy?" Bill yawned.

"Good morning." Vixy smiled. She kissed him. "Come on, their room is down the hall. They should be awake by now."

"Okay Vix." Bill said. They both walked down the hall and entered their friends' room. Fox was still asleep from his surgery. The bandages that were all over Matt's body were stuck to him. Fara and Mary were holding both the twins.

"Yeah. It was drifting over Sector X. It's in orbit now. There's a large hole in the docking bay doors though. It's nothing that can't be fixed. I see that you've given birth." Bill remarked.

"Yeah. Fox delivered them. Fox and I decided on names on the night I conceived. We're naming them after parents. Meet Max and Felicia." Fara said. She took her daughter and handed her to Mary.

Wolf sat on the bridge of the Fox Hunter. Everything was clear to him now. Why hadn't he though of it before? He had to capture Fara when she was alone. Wolf just had to wait for the right time. Leon sat with Wolf at the console. "Are you sure this will work Leon?" Wolf asked. The iguana stiffened.

"Yes. In one or two weeks, Fara McCloud will be your wife. And I'll be at the wedding." Leon smiled.

"Fine. Engage the cloaking device and set course for Katina. Full impulse." Wolf ordered.

"Good. Fara, you will soon be mine! And you'll have your arms around me after you give birth to our kit." Wolf smiled.

It was later that night. Mat and Mary were released from the hospital. They left for their beach house so they could wait for Fox and Fara to recover. Fox and Fara sat alone in their hospital room. Both the newborn kits were with Matt and Mary. "Fara, do you know if Wolf impregnated you yet?" Fox asked.

"No! Fox, how can you be so cold? Desired or not, I'm going to have this kit. I'm it's mother." Fara cried.

Leon and Wolf sat silent outside the window of Fara's hospital room. "Are you ready?'

"Exactly. On the count of three. One, two THREE!" Wolf yelled. The glass of the window shattered. Wolf blasted Fox with his gun. Leon secured the door. Wolf picked up Fara and hoisted her over his shoulder.

"Help!" Fara screamed. Leon shot the security guards from the door. Fara was struggling to escape, but Wolf ran with Fara to his shuttle. Leon followed him. They ran into the shuttle and took off. Wolf sat with Fara restraining her. Leon handed Wolf a syringe.

"Sedate her!" Leon yelled. Wolf took the syringe and pricked Fara on her shoulder.

"Agh!" Fara screamed. She felt the tranquilizing liquid flow through her veins. Fara knew she couldn't hold out much longer. She passed out in Wolf's arms.
