Star Fox Zero – The Battle Begins

♫

This is a man consumed by vengeance.

(OS) And this is the man responsible for his exile.

♫

Bring him... to me.

♫

Hahahaha.

♫

(chatter and noises)

Hmmm. Hm. Oh?

(explosions in the distance)

(alarm sounds)
INTRUDER DETECTED

INTRUDER DETECTED

Ah!

(explosion)

♫

The name's Fox, Fox McCloud.

My father passed away 5 years ago. To
carry on his legacy, I brought his

team out of retirement: Starfox, the elite
squadron he founded and died to protect.

I've recruited the best teammates a squad
leader could ask for.

Like a brilliant young inventor and close
friend from my academy days: Slippy Toad.

Ach! Ach. Aaaaah.

And Falco Lombardi, a hotshot fly boy
who's kind of a handful.

But also one of the best pilots I've ever met.

(video game explosion)

Ha ha ha ha haaaaaa!

Ugh! Dang it! Aaah!

Yep, like I said, the best teammates a
squad leader could ask for.

Slippy: Having a tough time there?

Falco: Ugh!

Slippy: Hahaha!

Falco: Hey! What are you-!

Slippy: Hold still, it's just a new visor
I invented!

Falco: Cut it out, get your hands off me!

Slippy: Aww, come on, just try it!

Falco: (sigh) I'm board.

Slippy: It has been 10 whole days since we
left Sarina you know. I'm getting so sick of

the canned food!

So guys, what should we eat first
when we get to Corneria?

Well, where do you want to go?

I was thinking here.

(OS) Hey!

This is not a vacation!

Fox (OS): And that's Peppy Hare. My father's old
wing-man.

(Peppy grumbling in the background)

A seasoned pro. The glue that holds the
team together.

Peppy: And just look at this mess! Were
you boys raised in a barn? Arrrg!

Fox: And a bit of a nag.

(video game sounds)

Alright!

And no yelling!

And which one of you boys messed with
my desk?

Oh let's go to this restaurant at the
new water park and eat some crabs-

You three deaf!

(all) Whoa!

Ah!

Slippy: Hey, what's that?

It's a good luck charm, made out of General
Pepper's fur, as a symbol of our friendship.

Out of his fur?

Nothing weird there.

Watch it!!!

Seriously, you guys. The Cornerian army
and Andross' forces have been at war

for years now, and here you are always
joking around!

Because there's nothing to worry about.
Corneria's defenses are totally impenetrable.

There's no way Andross can think he stands
a chance of actually breaking through them.

(alarm noise)

Slippy: Whaa!

ROB, report.

Distress signal received. Communications
open.

Starfox, come in! Do you read me?

General Pepper. What's going on?

Pepper: Corneria City is under attack from
Andross' army!

(all gasp)

Fox: What is that thing?

Peppy: No, it can't be!

(screaming)

(machines whirring)

Falco: Is that the crab you wanted?

Slippy: No, of course not!

Peppy: Uh...

Pepper: Does this mean he actually dared
to rebuild it?

Fox: General, what's your status? Please
respond!

Falco: I don't get it. I mean, seriously. Why
aren't they attacking the tower? They

caught the Cornerian army completely by
surprise. Why not blow it to pieces while

they still have the advantage?

Good point.

These invaders, what they want...

Is me.

Fox: What do you mean?

ROB: The great fox has entered Corneria's
orbit.

Starfox, move out!

All: Right!

♫

Man I was really looking forward to this
trip too!

Jeez, how'd these creeps even get through
the city's defenses?

Peppy: Teleportation!

Falco: Huh?

Peppy: They used a teleportation device!

How could Andross even have a thing
like that?

We can worry about that later. Right now
we've just got to get those things away

from the General.

Slippy: Well, the way those robots are
honing in on him suggest they're

equipped with advanced bio-tracking tech.

Fox: So, what's your point?

Well, if we had some way to erase his
life signs then-

We want to save him not off him you
crazy tadpole!

Hey!

Wait, hold up!

Pepper: All hands evacuate! Get everyone
out of the tower!

General, what about you sir!

Pepper: Get out now! That's an order!
Hurry!

Does Peppy have to go to the bathroom
right before every mission?

(sigh)

Slippy: Sorry about that guys!

Falco: Took you long enough!

Fox: Huh?

♫

Fox: Let's go!

♫

(all landing with a thud)

Slippy: Just kidding!

(sigh) That old gag again?

♫

(machine powering up)

Hey guys, put on your new visors, OK?

It's game time, huh?

♫

Alright boys, let's rock and roll!

♫

Fox: Check your g-diffuser system.

Falco: I'm fine.

Slippy: I'm OK.

Peppy: All systems go!

♫

Falco: I'm taking you all down.

(explosions)

Ha! This new visor's not too shabby.

ROB, how's the evac going?

ROB: Relocation of civilians complete.

♫

The tower is being overwhelmed!

Looks like someone kicked over an
ant's nest.

Fox: Switching to all-range mode.

Falco: You're mine.

(explosions throughout)

Fox: Incoming from behind.

Fox: Use your breaks!

Hey Fox, it's ready to go!

Fox: Copy that!

♫

Let's go!

Slippy: Haha! Come and get it scrap-heads!

♫

Did we get them all?

Peppy: Not yet!

General Pepper, I need you to take
cover in a sealed room right away.

Pepper: Sealed room?

There's no time to explain, please
hurry!

Robot: Cleaning in progress. Cleaning
in progress.

Robot: Compartment sealed, deodorizing
in progress.

♫

Now it's my turn!

♫

Alright, it worked!

What the- they're moving into the blast?

Slippy: It's my latest invention.

Peppy: Slippy used fur from my lucky
charm to make missiles that mimic

Pepper's life signs.

Pretty cool for something I just slapped
together, right?

Fox, now's our chance!

Alright, all units bomb-volley, now!

(explosions)

♫

Slippy: Yeah, we did it!
Aaaahhh!

Fox: Slippy! Peppy!

I'm OK.

Just grazed is all.

♫

How dare you interfere with my mission!
I'll squash you like the insects you are!

Falco: So, that's the boss-man, huh?

Fox: Slippy, Peppy, hang back and recover.
Falco, you're with me! We've got to take

down that ship!

Do a barrel roll!

♫

Think that did it? Hey, froggy!

Don't call me froggy!

Peppy: Come on Slip! Where's that analysis?

Got it! If we take out all those big laser
cannons we can dismantle that thing's

g-diffuser system.

Falco!

Heading down below.

♫

We're not going to fall that easily!

♫

Falco: You want to catch me, you'll
have to try harder than that!

♫

Idiots! What good's a guided
missile if it comes right back!

Curse you, Starfox! When Andross hear's
about this you're through, you hear me!

Throughhhhhhhhhhh!

Yeah! Way to go Fox!

Oof! Oh, uh.

(all gasp)

(explosion)

(crowd cheers)

♫

I'm glad you're safe General.

Starfox, we are once more in your debt.

So you sure you're alright?

Thanks to you!

Pepper: I hate to ask more of you so
soon. But, I need you to fly out to

Sector Alpha.

Expecting more trouble out there?

We've received an urgent call for
reinforcements and we could use

you on the front lines.

Fox: Understood, we're on it.

Slippy: Aww, what about my crab?

Falco: Guess there's no rest for the best.

Pepper: We're counting on you.

♫

Fox: All units, report!

Falco: I'm fine.

Slippy: All peachy for me!

This transmission is only for you. You know
what this attack means. That Andross has

dared to rebuild that device.

Peppy: Yes.

Pepper: I know I can trust you to do what
must be done, and keep this quiet. Your

team mates must not learn the truth.

I understand.

♫

So, Fox McCloud, eh?

Ha ha ha ha ha.
