Remixing Star Fox Adventures

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

As you probably have guessed from the title, it's a retelling of Star Fox Adventures. Well, actually, it's a complete retelling of how

Star Fox met Krystal. That means you won't have to put up with hearing about Tricky's antics. This story is rated PG for violence and possibly sexualized humor. Here it goes.

Chapter 1: Shot Down By Accident

It was at least a year and a half since Star Fox has defeated Andross. With the Venomian crisis averted, Star Fox was forced to take on any of the small jobs available. Today, Star Fox was clearing an asteroid field to allow a Cornerian military tanker to get through. Fox, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy flew slowly around the asteroids, blasting them away to make them as small and harmless as possible.

Falco: What a boring job! I've seen more excitement in a 3rd grade math class.

Slippy: Take it easy Falco. I thought you'd like this job because we have to shoot things again.

Falco: It still doesn't have the thrill of last year when we blew Andross to pieces.

Peppy: Correction, when Fox blew him to bits. Isn't that right Fox? ....Fox? (Fox is flipping through pages on his PDA) What are you doing in there Fox?

Fox: Huh? What?! Sorry! I was just looking for some...ads.

Falco: Ads for what? Looking to find yourself a lady?

Fox: Uuuhhh....no I'm not.

Peppy: Don't bother hiding it Fox. We know that you've been acting kinda lonely lately. Maybe you oughta get married to resolve that sort of problem?

Slippy: Awww. That sounds sweet.

ROB's Voice: This is ROB 64 calling Star Fox team! Sensors indicate 4 inbound fighters heading for the Great Fox! It's

Star Wolf!

Slippy: Star Wolf again?!

Fox: I thought we got rid of them for good on Venom! (Star Wolf shoots at Star Fox)

Wolf: Nice to see you runts again!

Leon: This is payback for earlier!

Pigma: I'll bust you guys up real good this time!

Oikonny: You'll pay for what you did to my uncle!

Peppy: Not now!! Evasive maneuvers!!

Star Fox u-turned and charged at Star Wolf, firing upon them. Yet another dogfight between the two squadrons had broken out.

Falco: Time to show you maggots who's boss!!

Leon: Not yet, the party's just beginning!

Wolf chased and shot at Fox, who braked and let Wolf fly over past him. Falco looped to avoid Leon, and landed several shots on him. Peppy and Slippy ganged up on Pigma.

Pigma: You guys can't beat me, I've got the better ship!!

Peppy: Can your ship do this?!!

Peppy fired two Nova Bombs, blockading Pigma with the 2 explosions. Slippy fired a charged shot and disabled Pigma.

Pigma: I....I can't move!!

Wolf: I'll take you down this time Fox McCloud!! (Fires a Nova Bomb at Fox)

Fox: We'll see about that!!

Fox shot the Nova Bomb several times and detonates it. Unknown to them, the resulting explosion set off a leftover Venomian space mine field.

ROB: Warning!! Warning!! Excessive explosions occurring!!

Peppy: Doggone it!! We're going down!!

Leon: At least you're going down with us!!

The Arwings, the Wolfens, and the Great Fox fell straight towards a nearby wormhole. The wormhole sent them right into another galaxy know as the Karzoa Galaxy. Once the 9 ships get there, they continued falling helplessly. Star Fox and their ships crash landed on a planet with tropical oceans and thick jungles, while Star Wolf crash landed on the planet's moon.

The End

Here's the new chapter.

Chapter 2: Krystal

Fox woke up in his Arwing's cockpit, and noticed the environment around him. He crash landed in a thick jungle, full of beautiful flora and clean running water.

Fox: Where am I? What happened? Where are the others? (Gets out of the ship) I gotta go see if I can find help. (Heads North, but stops when he hears a voice) What's that? (It sounds like a beautiful woman humming something) Scratch that.

Who's that? (Heads off in the direction of the humming, and after a few seconds, comes to the source.) *gasp*

Fox saw that the humming came from a beautiful blue furred vixen named Krystal, bathing under a small waterfall. She was cald in little more than a loincloth, a small bra, 2 rings that separate her tail into 3 sections, and various forms of jewelry.

Fox: ("Wow. She's beautiful.") (Notices how scantly clad she is) ("Oh man I'm nervous. I better just walk away and not bother her.") (Slowly walks away, but steps on a twig) ("Crud!") (Krystal snaps her attention to the sound, and notices Fox) Uhh, hi.

Krystal: Can I help you? I haven't seen you around here before. (Comes towards him)

Fox: Uh, no thanks, I was just on my way! Gotta go!

Krystal: Don't be shy. I won't harm you. My name is Krystal. What's yours?

Fox: I'm...uh....My name is Fox McCloud. I was going to look for some help, but I heard your humming and got curious.

Krystal: Maybe I can help you? We can head back to the palace and ask my father for help.

Fox: P-palace? You're a princess? You certainly look gor-I mean well dressed enough. Sorry for the stutter.

Krystal: It's okay. A lot of people are so shy around me. It doesn't bother me that much.

Fox: ("Maybe it's because you're so pretty.") Enough of this, can you tell me where I am?

Krystal: This is the peaceful and just kingdom known as Planet Cerinia. My tribe has ruled over this world for nearly 3000 years. We'd be more than happy to help you out. What happened? (They start walking)

Fox: My friends and I make up the Star Fox team. We were blasting away an asteroid field to clear the way for cargo ships, but a rival squadron named Star Wolf showed up, tried to kill us, and the dogfight somehow made us all crash land.

Krystal: So you're from Star Fox. I've heard about Star Fox, but I never thought I'd meet someone from them. I've always wanted to join the team, but my parents won't let me. They think mercenary work is barbaric and dangerous.

Fox: Sometimes I agree with that.

Meanwhile in another part of Cerinia, Falco, Slippy, and Peppy had woken up from their crashes. Ironically, the 3 of them landed in the same part of the jungle, while Fox landed in a different area.

Peppy: I wonder what happened.

Falco: I feel like the inside of a garbage truck.

Slippy: I feel like that, and much, much worse.

Falco: Where's Fox?

Slippy: Where's the Great Fox?

Peppy: They must have crashed in separate parts of this planet. (Lasers are shot at them) What the heck?!!

The 3 of them saw that their attackers were a group of Venomian soldiers.

Falco: Time for some action!! (Whips out a machine gun and fires on them). Take this you pee-brained dopes!!

Not too far off, Fox and Krystal heard the ruckuss.

Krystal: Something's wrong!!

Fox: I'll check it out!! (Heads for the noise)

Krystal: Wait for me Fox!! (Follows)

This is pretty good so far!

Latest chapter.

Chapter 3: We Don't Socialize with Mercenaries

Falco, Peppy, and Slippy continued to fight against the enemy soldiers. When Fox saw his friends' attackers, and recognized their uniform, he jumped out from behind them, whipped out his blaster, and fired on the enemy soldiers, killing less than half of them. When he landed, Fox continued to shoot.

Fox: Guys!! Take cover!! I'll hold them off!!

Krystal: And I'll help you!!

Krystal took out and extended a mysterious magical staff. She struck it into the ground, sending out a massive shock wave. The shock wave knocked the enemy soldiers on their feet, and they ran away as they got back up. Star Fox is stunned by Krystal's display.

Peppy: That was shocking.

Slippy: What was that? How did she do that?

Falco: Hey Fox! Who's your lady friend here? What side of the galaxy did you pick her up on?

Fox: Watch it Falco! This is Krystal. I met her when I woke up from my crash landing.

Krystal: Hello there. You must be Fox's acquaintances.

Peppy: I'm Peppy Hare. Star Fox team tactical adviser.

Falco: Falco Lombardi. Expert fighter pilot. Best one there is.

Slippy: Slippy Toad. Technician for the crew.

Krystal: Come with me. I can take you to my home.

The team followed their new found companion. After a few minutes of walking, they came to the gate of a large city. A lion guard looked down at them from the top of the gate. The guard spoke in Cerinian, Krystal's native language.

Guard: Your majesty. Who are those men down there with you?

Peppy: I can't understand this fellow. What's he saying?

Slippy: I might have a translator with me.

Krystal: No need for that. (Speaks in Cerinian) Don't worry about them. They're not here to hurt us. Let them come in with me.

Guard: Very well Princess Krystal. (Leaves as the gate opens up. The group steps inside)

Krystal: This is Khoramaul, Cerinia's capital city.

Slippy: Oh....my...gosh...

Khoramaul was the heart of Cerinia. The city was a magnificent urban area. Everyone was cheerful, with hardly a care in the world. Cerinia lacked a bit in technology, but the populace didn't care about that at all.

Falco: The place is a livin' metropolis!

Fox: So much like Corneria, but with a big tropical twist to it.

Krystal: Come. The palace is straight ahead.

Later, they came to the royal palace. Inside were Krystal's parrents, King Allan and Queen Kira. Allan was a compashonate fox with friendly face, tall ears, blue fur like his wife and daughter, and squinted eyes. Kira looked very much like Krystal, except she was much older, her hair was longer, and she wore a long dress that cut off above her chest. Krystal bowed before her parents, giving them a sign of great respect.

Allan: Welcome home daughter. Did you enjoy your walk?

Krystal: It was fine. Even better when I met some very good friends.

Kira: You mean the men behind you?

Krystal: Yes. They are the Star Fox team.

Allan: Star Fox eh? I'm afraid they are not to socialize with us.

Fox: What now?!

Falco: Listen buddy, us guys work hard to protect (Peppy cuts him off)

Peppy: Falco!! That's enough!!

Fox: Sorry for bothering you your majesties. We'll be leaving now. (Star Fox leaves)

Krystal: But father, why?

Chapter 3: The End

Hope you still like the story.

New chapter.

Chapter 4: Scales, the Corrupt General

Krystal's conversation with her parents continued.

Krystal: Father, why do they have to leave?

Allan: You know what I told you about being involved with mercenaries Krystal. It's unacceptable. Mercenaries are people take on jobs involving wars or criminals just so they can make a profit.

Krystal: You always say that, but Star Fox isn't like that. They save various planets, and lives. Besides, they might need  some help, and you never turn down those in need when they come to your aid. You're not that kind of man father.

Allan: Now young lady, I....you're right. I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. I just don't want you getting so involved with

Star Fox.

Kira: If they need our help, we'll offer them supplies without hesitation.

Kira pulled on a long rope next to her, which rang a gong. Another of the lion guards entered.

Guard: You called your highnesses?

Meanwhile, Star Fox was just walking towards Khoramaul's front gate.

Slippy: Don't look so glum guys! Even if they don't help us, it won't be that hard to find the Great Fox ourselves.

Peppy: Yes, except it crashed in a thick jungle that would get lost forever in.

Falco: Just goes to show ya why I don't like these royalty types. They're stuck up rats, all of them. (The lion guard from the palace stops them)

Guard: Wait! Stop! (Star Fox turns to him) Their highnesses tell me of their mistake in distrusting you, and will gladly help you in your situation.

Falco: Gee harry face, that's nice, except I thought the royal pains had issues with "mercenaries".

Guard: It wasn't that. They just don't want Princess Krystal to do mercenary work. Here in Cerinia, if someone is in need, we'd be glad to help.

Fox: This is starting to get a bit better. Thanks! Guys, stand away from that gate! We're accepting a little offer from some very nice people!

Meanwhile, a tall, anthropomorphic Tyrannosauruses named General Scales was in his office on a planet called Sauria, which was also his home. The planet was full of woodland forests, and was inhabited by other anthropomorphic dinosaurs who lived a life style much like Corneria. Scales' base was located on an inactive volcano. He was currently making some sort of battle plan with his troops, an army of Velociraptors he called the Sharpclaws.

Scales: This plan cannot fail. There isn't any way it can.

Sharpclaw: When do you want us to strike them sir?

Scales: Just as soon as we get a report back from our unknown accomplice. (An injured Sharpclaw enters)

Sharpclaw: Sir...*gasp*....we..were....(Faints)

Scales: What's this?! Never mind. Take him to the medical area! I'll thrash him for his failure later. Cerinia. The peace and harmony of that planet makes me absolutely sick! When I get my hands on that world, it will no longer know the meaning of the word freedom. Ha ha ha ha ha!! Report to me troops! Any more word from our secret ally?

Sharpclaw: Negative sir. He hasn't contacted us since the day before yesterday, but I have a feeling we will hear from him again soon.

Scales: Grrr!! I don't soon, I want to here from him now!! I'll contact him myself. (Takes out a small phone from his pocket and dials a number)

Voice: Yes? Is that you again Scales?

Scales: Yes it is me. I want to know when you wish for us to strike Cerinia.

Voice: Tomorrow, shortly after noon. Cerinia will soon be under your control, as I promised.

Scales: Excellent.

Sharpclaw: General sir! President Cloudrunner is on his way in!

Scales: What?! Quick! Shut off the monitor!

The monitor shut off as Scales and the Sharpclaws turned towards the front door. A Pteranodon named Kyte Cloudrunner entered the room. Kyte was usually not happy with Scales' performances as a general, as he saw Scales as corrupted by power.

Kyte: What's going on here Scales? I've heard rumors of you trying to start an invasion of some sort.

Scales: Whatever gave you such an idea Mr. President? We were..just making a joke about something.

Kyte: It better be just that, or I'll see to it that you are stripped of your rank and expelled from the Saurian military. Good afternoon. (Leaves)

Scales: ("Lousy flying buffoon! Someday he'll be taking orders from me!")

Chapter 4: The End

I decided I will use Sauria in the story after all, but I'm not including Tricky. Hope you still like the story.

New chapter for ya guys. Sorry it's been so long.

Chapter 5: Recovery Mission

The next day, Star Fox was flying over the Cerinian jungle, via a Cerinian transport ship. Inside, Falco was at the wheel while Peppy and Slippy looked on the ship's small radar screen to see if it spotted the Great Fox. Fox was in the back with Krystal, who came along at her own request. Krystal held Fox suspiciously close to her, which made Fox rather nervous.

Fox: So tell me..Why do I need to be so...close to you?

Krystal: Uh, well, I.....It's kind of complicated........I confess Fox. When I first met you I...started to form an emotional connection to you. It's almost as if I love you.

Fox: What?! I mean, um, that's nice to hear. I never got...such a compliment from someone as beautiful, I mean, kind as you.

Falco: What's that I hear? Are you two gonna make out?

Peppy: Quit saying that Falco!

Slippy: Hey! Guys, radar's picked up a large ship down below! It could be the Great Fox!

Peppy: Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get down there!

The ship landed right at the spot where the radar said the Great Fox was. Sure enough, the Great Fox was right there. It's top right and bottom left wings torn right off, and the rest of the ship's body greatly dinged. The group got out to examine the ship.

Falco: Geese! She sure took some damage!

Slippy: Nothing ROB and I can't fix.

Peppy: Speaking of ROB, we better get inside and check to see how ROB's been doing.

Fox: Right.

Star Fox entered through the Great Fox's long shuttle bay. Krystal looked around it in amazement. She had never been in such a large, well known starship. Eventually, they came to the ship's bridge, where ROB lies dormant on the floor.

Peppy: This doesn't look good. Are you okay ROB? (ROB activatesand stands up)

ROB: I am okay, but the Great Fox needs major repair work. Fox, who is that girl with you?

Fox: Oh, uh, this is Krystal. She came with us to help.

ROB: My sensors indicate Fox's temperature is rising. Also, excessive pheromones suggest you wish to mate with the young female.

Falco: Hate to say I told ya so.

Fox: What's the status of the ship's damage ROB?

ROB: Heavy damage to the bottom left and top right sections of the ship's rear. Communications are down, along with weapon systems.

Slippy: We'll need to fly back to town for more supplies.

Krystal: No need. (Takes out her staff) My staff is said to have a healing ability, which will effect any form of life. I don't know what it will do to machines. Here it goes.

Krystal held her staff tightly, pressed it on the floor, and the Great Fox was filled with a magical bright blue glow. After a few seconds, the glow faded away, but the Great Fox turned out looking just the way it was when the group found it. Krystal was disappointed.

Falco: Okay, this is starting to freak me out a bit. What the heck is with that fancy stick you carry around?

Krystal: This is a crown jewel to the royal family, the Staff of the Krazoa. This staff holds tremendous power not seen in most other weapons. I almost never have to use since Cerinia is so peaceful, we don't have much need for weapons. Sadly, there are so many powers in my staff that bring such good things, but I've yet to master them. Father's been teaching me how to properly use the staff. He keeps encouraging me to not give up and try my hardest, but I still have a great lack of confidence.

Peppy: Your father says that, so I'll say it too. Never give up! If you give up now, you'll never accomplish anything!

Krystal: Oh...You're right...and so is father....thank you....

Peppy: Aw shucks, your making me blush.

Chapter 6: Captured Princess

Meanwhile above the area where Fox and the gang were, Scales and a small fleet of at least 300 Saurian ships were waiting in the sky. The fleet had discovered that Krystal was in the premises.

Scales: Excellent. She's right where we want her. All units, attack!! (The ships charge at Star Fox, which Fox notices)

Fox: What now?!

Peppy: Somebody set us up!! It's a trap!! (The Great Fox takes some hits) ARGH!!

Krystal: Who's firing on us?!! Why would they attack Cerinia?!!

Fox: I'll try to communicate with the enemy and see who they are. (Taps into his headset) Who are you?! What do you want from us?!

Scales: I am General Scales, leader of the Saurian armed forces. We know you have Princess Krystal aboard that wrecked ship with you, now surrender her at once or die!!

Krystal: ("Sauria?")

Fox: Do you think we're that stupid?!

Slippy: Why do you want Krystal?!

Scales: ("Now for the main phase to commence.") Kyte Cloudrunner, the current Saurian president, ordered us to track her down and take her prisoner.

Krystal: But Cerinia is peaceful. We'd never wage war on any other planet. Why would you attack us?

Scales: Ask questions later my girl. Either you come with us o your friends die.

Krystal: *gasp* .....I'll go...

Fox: No!! We'll fight them off!! ROB, what working firepower do we have on the ship?

ROB: Our only working artillery is 2 Landmasters, and 4 sniper rifles.

Falco: We can make do with that stuff. Let's go!

Fox, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy each grabbed a sniper rifle off a wall. Fox and Slippy boarded the Landmasters, while Falco and Peppy followed them outside. Scales noticed them as they come out.

Scales: What's this? They think they can destroy us with such a small arsenal? Ridiculous! Destroy them, but don't hit their ship! The princess is still on board.

A vicious battle broke out. Fox and Slippy used the Landmaster to shoot down half a dozen enemy fighters, while Falco and Peppy destroyed 12 more.

Falco: I'd usually take to the skies for some real action, but in this case I'll make an aception. (Shoots a couple more ships)

Fox: Let me show you what the Landmasters are made of! (Fires a Nova Bomb into the air, destroying 3 dozen more ships)

Slippy: Don't be greedy Fox! You're not the only one who's good with ground fighting! (Opens fire and shoots down 12 enemy ships)

Scales: Grrr!! They're destroying so much of my fleet!! How many ships do we have left?!

Sharpclaw: Around 250 remaining craft sir, but we're losing 2 to 5 ships every second.

Scales: Well no matter then. Tear a hole in their mother ship and get Krystal!

Sharpclaw: Yes sir!

Scales' ship fired a small missile that stuck itself into the roof of the Great Fox. The missile exploded, making only a small hole in the roof. A tractor beam was fired onto the hole, and took Krystal out of the ship. Krystal struggled for her life, panicking and screaming.

Krystal: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Let me go Scales!! Put me down or you will hear from my parents!! (The beam puts her in Scales' ship's hull)

Scales: Sorry we can't stay to play games with you. Troops, retreat!! We have retrieved what we came here for!!

The enemy ships stopped fighting, and left with their flagship.

Falco: Aw crud!! They got away!!

Fox: We have to go get help!! Let's hurry back to Khoramaul!!

Falco rode on Fox's Landmaster, while Peppy rode on Slippy's Landmaster. Star Fox headed back to Khoramaul to tell King Allan and Queen Kira of the situation. Krystal had been kidnapped, and Fox felt deeply responsible for the situation. The guilt had stricken him right in his heart.

Chapter 7: Rivalry Between Worlds

Star Fox was later telling Allan and Kira about what happened to Krystal.

Fox: He said he was ordered by someone named Kyte Cloudrunner. Are you familiar this Cloudrunner person?

Allan: More than familiar with him, we don't get along very well. Cerinia and Sauria have been strong rivals for more than a hundread years in just about everything.

Kira: Everything from athletics to technology, but we never imagined it leading to war.

Falco: Who'd have thought someone besides Andross could stoop so low?

Peppy: Don't worry, we'll go and save her.

Allan: Not this time Star Fox. You've done enough getting our daughter kidnapped. Sauria is our rival, so we will deal with it. You just stay here until your ships are repaired, then be on your way if you want.

Slippy: ("That wasn't very nice.") (Star Fox leaves)

Later, Kyte was talking to Allan over a monitor from his office.

Allan: How dare you do something so radical?!

Kyte: I didn't take your daughter Allan! Even if I did, it wouldn't be for any reason that would harm her.

Allan: Scales told Star Fox that you had him ordered to take Krystal, and Star Fox returned to Khoramaul and told me and Kira.

Kyte: And what's this I'm hearing from you about Star Fox? I thought the Cerinian government didn't associate with mercenary fighter pilots.

Allan: This an acception because Krytal said they needed help, and they just so happened too.

Kyte: I suggest you cease such false accusations towards me, unless you're looking to start a war.

Allan: Why would Cerinia be the one starting the war? We never did anything wrong, such as when you keep grabbing comets  and asteroids for yourself.

Kyte: That does it!! As of now, Sauria and Cerinia are at war!!

Allan: So be it then!! I won't give in to your control!!

Back on Cerinia, a Cerinian repair crew was helping Star Fox repair the Great Fox and the Arwings. While he was working, Fox looked up worrying. Slippy asked what was wrong.

Slippy: What's wrong Fox? Are you still concerned about tensions between Cerinia and Sauria, or are you more worried about Krystal?

Fox: I....well......It's nothing, I mean, I'm worried that there's going to be a war here, and they don't want our help.

Falco: They'll come around to it. Everybody does.

Fox: Sure hope you're right Falco.

Chapter 7: The End

Keep reading. I'm getting further into the story now.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

Get ready for another one. The conflict is brewing.

Chapter 8: The Battle Begins

The Cerinian fleet left the planet's surface. Once they reached orbit of their home planet, they were met by the Saurian fleet up ahead. The Saurian fleet was slightly larger than the Cerinian fleet. Allan, dressed up in military uniform, lead his fleet, while Sauria's armada was lead by none other than Scales. The leaders of each fleet were accompanied by a couple of their own soldiers.

Scales: This will be a piece of cake. We practically have them on the run before the battle has started.

Allan: I can hear you Scales, and your words don't frighten me one bit.

Cerinian Soldier #1: You think his royal highness would be intimidated by a Saurian general?

Sharpclaw #1: Don't count on it.

Sharpclaw #2: Cerinia is too pacifist to win a war against an army as mighty as us.

Cerinian Soldier #2: You'd be a mightier one if you weren't led by a coward by General Scales!

Allan: That's enough of the insults men.

Scales: We will finish this right here and right now. All units, attack!!

Allan: Don't let any of them through!!

A vicious battle ensued. Cerinian and Saurian ships flew around and open fire on each other, starting a storm of red and blue lasers. A trio of Saurian fighters chased and shot down a Cerinian fighter, but a second Cerinian fighter shot down the 3 Saurian ships. A Saurian battleship fired a powerful laser beam that destroyed a couple of Cerinian battleships, and half a dozen fighters with them. Meanwhile on Sauria, Krystal was held in a cold, dark, musty prison cell. She was sitting in the corner, frowning with sadness and fear. She thought of Fox and the others, saw them as very good friends, just as she did when she met them recently. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone shouting coming down the hallway. Krystal recognized the voice as Kyte, her father's arch rival. Kyte was taken down the hall by a pair of Sharpclaw guards.

Kyte: Let go of me!! Stop this nonsense!! What reason do you have to oppose me?!! (They throw him in the cell next to Krystal's) I won the last election fair and square, and I kept my promises!! Now let me out of here!! (They lock the cell)

Sharpclaw #1: General Scales orders, Mr. Former President.

Sharpclaw #2: The general is leading a new order against you, and soon both Sauria and Cerinia will be under his control. Nothing you can do about it. (They leave)

Sharpclaw #1: Have fun rotting in there for the rest of your life.

Kyte: Scales, that traitor. I never should have promoted him to a general's rank. First he goes mad with power, and now he's ruthlessly taking over two planets in one invasion. Allan was right, Cerinia is the better planet.

Krystal: Kyte? Is that you?

Kyte: Princess Krystal? So you were taken here after all.

Krystal: I heard the whole thing Mr. President. Scales lied to me. He said you ordered my kidnapping, but I had a feeling you wouldn't do something like that.

Kyte: Oh, all the times I told your father I couldn't stand him, secretly, I never really meant it. I just went by what the Saurian populace said. Prejudice gets people nowhere. It never has, and it never will.

Krystal: But I can still contact someone I know for help.

Krystal got up and sat down in the center of her cell. Crossing her legs, closing her eyes, and inhaling and exhaling, she entered a meditative state. Her mind emptied, focusing on one person. Back on Cerinia, Star Fox had just finished repairing the Great Fox and Arwings. The team was sitting on the ship's bridge, the Arwings placed perfectly in the hangar bay, and Fox ready for takeoff,

Star Fox was just on their way.  Before Fox could activate the ship, his mind was hit with a strange feeling, as if someone was trying to contact him. As if someone was calling him for help. He heard the familiar voice of a young woman. Someone he recently fell in love with. Fox knew that the voice can belong to only one person. Krystal.

Chapter 8: The End

I decided to stick in a little moral to the story in there. Makes sense doesn't it? Hope you keep reading the story as I keep writing.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

Get ready for another.

Chapter 9: Telepathic Talk

Fox listened to the voice in his head, and mentally communicated with it.

Krystal: ("Fox! Are you there?! Please help, I am in great danger!")

Fox: ("Where are you Krystal?!")

Krystal: ("It was a lie! Kyte didn't order my kidnapping, Scales did it on purpose! He's trying to take over Cerinia and Saruia! Right now Kyte and I are locked up in an old prison compound, and Sauria's in the oposite location of Cerinia! You need to come quickly Fox! I sense some Sharpclaw are coming, and that we might not have...")

Fox: Krystal? Krystal!!

Slippy: What's wrong Fox?

Fox: We have to get to Sauria, fast!! Krystal's in trouble!!

ROB: Initiating take off!

The Great Fox took off right into space. There trip to Sauria was to be stalled by the fire fight between the Cerinian and Saurian air fleets.

ROB: Weaponry fire from both sides of the battlefield. Voyage may be stalled for some time.

Fox: We'll have to fly out there and blast our way through the enemy fleet!

Falco: Now you're talking! I haven't had any action in a few minutes, and that's more than long enough for me to take a break!

Star Fox flew out of the Great Fox's hangar. Slippy headed out and fired on a group of enemy ships.

Slippy: Here I go!!

Peppy: Be careful out there Slippy! Don't take on more than you can handle!

Falco: It's not as much as I go for! (Charges his laser, fires three charged shots one by one and destroys an enemy battleship) If they had any of their spare ships on board, then I think I leveled the playing field again.

Slippy: Uh oh!! I'm being followed by a few of them!!

Peppy: Take it easy, I'm coming! Fox, Falco, you get to Sauria while I help Slippy!

Falco: We're on it!

Fox: We won't let them bring any harm to Krystal, I mean, Cerinia. (Allan contacts them)

Allan: What do you think you're doing?!! I told you we didn't want your help!!

Fox: Sorry about your highness, but we gotta save Krystal!!

Allan: Krystal? I forgot!! Go on, please, save my daguhter!!

Falco: I had a feeling you'd listen to reason you royal pain in the....He hung up one me!!!

Fox: Forget the sassyness Falco, let's go.

Fox opened fire and took down half a dozen enemy fighters. Then he launched a Nova Bomb, and flew under the explosion, letting his pursuers get caught in the blast. Meanwhile, back on Sauria, Krystal was gagged and tied to a chair. Scales was questioning her.

Scales: My dear girl, I'm going to pull down that hankercheif for you, but when I do, you will tell me where your staff is. (Pulls it down) Now where is it?!

Krystal: That staff has the most powerful energy in the universe! I wouldn't dare give it to a coward like you! (Scales holds her up by the neck)

Scales: YOU WILL TELL ME THIS MINUTE YOU BRAT!! Now where do you have it?!

Krystal: *choke**gag* It's....on my...back... (Scales puts her back down)

Scales: Very good. (Reaches behind her back and pulls out the staff) Yes, excellent. With this staff, I will be granted with unlimited power! The universe will soon bend knee to General Scales!!

Chapter 9: The End

It may look like it, but Scales might not have the upper hand. Keep reading as I keep posting.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

This is pretty good so far!

What do you like about it? The part where Fox stares at Krystal for a little bit and falls in love with her? I got that from the games.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

Here comes the next chapter! Will Scales win? Only one way to find out.

Chapter 10: In For a Landing

Star Fox continued their flight towards Sauria. Falco had just shot down a couple more ships, and Sauria was now just ahead of them.

Peppy: There's Sauria. It's just up ahead. (A loud roar is heard)

Slippy: Uh, what was that? (Another roar is heard)

Fox: I think it's coming from Sauria.

Falco: Whoa!! That's it!!

The team saw that the roars came from a large Saurian battleship with a mechanical dinosaur's head on the front. The head spat large fire balls at Star Fox.

Peppy: Evasive action!!

Fox: That thing's gonna make it harder to get down to Sauria!

Falco: In a moment it'll be dead! (Fires on it, but does little damage)

Slippy: Peppy and I will analyze and see if we can find a weak spot.

Fox: While you do that, Falco and I will distract it.

Falco: I can distract it with this!! (Fires a charged shot which destroys one of the fire balls as it's shot out) One more for the road big guy!! (Fires another charged shot that damages it a bit more)

Peppy: It looks like the head's the weak point! We just need to concentrate our fire on the head!

Slippy: Okay!!

Slippy fired a Nova Bomb as the head's mouth opens. It's mouth closed up, and the bomb exploded inside, damaging most of it's interior.

Falco: I better change my opinion about ya Slip! (The head retreats inside, and comes out of the roof attached to a chest and a pair of arms)

Fox: It's not over yet! Now we have to stop the whole body!

Peppy: Aim for his chest!

Falco: Why wouldn't we aim for the groin?

The robot shot fire balls out of it's mouth at Star Fox yet again, this time throwing the same kind of fire balls with it's hands. Slippy  lost one of his wings from the fire balls, but fired a charged shot to destroy a couple of the others. Fox took aim at the robot's chest.

Fox: It's time to end this dino hunt!

Fox fired a charged shot, and then a Nova Bomb, both of which hit the chest one by one. The robot exploded right before Star Fox, leaving a bright flash of light. After a few seconds, the light cleared.

Fox: We did it! Everyone okay?

Slippy: Other than a missing wing, I'm fine.

Falco: That was a close call.

Peppy: Now we can go stop General Scales!

Star Fox flew right toward the planet.

Chapter 10: The End

I decided to mix script style format with novel style format, just like I did in A Star Fox Christmas Carol. I think I'll do that to the rest of the chapters.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

This is the next chapter. Now we get to see if Krystal's okay.

Chapter 11: Daring Rescue

Star Fox came through the Saurian skies, and came face to face with what Fox knew was where Krystal was being held.

Fox: She's in there!! I just know it!!

Star Fox flew closer to the prison, which although Krystal and Kyte were it's only prisoners, it was still heavily guarded. Some of Scales' Sharpclaw were guarding the roof with gun turrets, and once Star Fox came into view, they opened fire on the interlopers. Falco, as full of himself as he is, flew circles around the compound, fired on the the enemy guards, and killed them. Star Fox landed on the roof, and each member got out to look for a way inside.

Fox: ("Where are you Krystal?")

Krystal: ("Hurry Fox!!")

Fox: ("Hey!! I can hear you in my head again!! How are you doing this?!!")

Krystal: ("No time to explain Fox!! Help me!!")

Fox: Krystal!!

Slippy: Fox, I found a way in!

Fox: What?! Good! Let's go!

The way inside Slippy found was an ordinary ventilation duct, which looked almost as run down as the prison itself. Star Fox climbed down inside one by one. Fox was leading them through the shaft. Krystal was sending Fox telepathic pulses which acted as a radar leading him to her. After a few meters, Fox knew he had come to the right place.

Fox: Get ready guys, we're going down. Grab your blasters.

With a good punch, Fox busted open the grate he was looking down, jumped down and fired on the Sharpclaw that attacked. The rest of Star Fox followed, and joined Fox in the fray. Slippy managed to take out another group of enemy guards with a grenade.

Falco: Even on foot we can really kick some tail!!

Peppy: We better hurry up and find Krystal!! Who knows what they'll do to her!!

Fox: This way!! Down the hall to that door!!

Star Fox made their way to the door. Fox pulled on the door as hard as he could, but it wouldn't budge.

Fox: Crud! It's locked!

Slippy: No problem Fox. (Puts a small circular device on the door, which rotates it's top part, flashes green, and Slippy opens the door) I always carry that thing with me, just in case I need to pick a lock.

Star Fox entered the room, and sure enough there she was. Krystal was tied on top of a table, with a large ax blade swinging back and forth, lowering further and further down.

Krystal: Fox!! Help!!

Fox: Krystal!! (Rushes over to her) Hang on! I just need to adjust this thing! (Tries to move the table but it doesn't budge) It's no good!

Peppy: Don't worry! We just have to make this a team effort!

Falco, Peppy, and Slippy joined Fox as he pushed the table out of the way. Thankfully, they pushed it out of the way of the blade, letting it merely slice Krystal's ropes. Krystal rolled off the table just as the blade hit the floor and stops. Krystal and Fox hugged into each other with relief.

Krystal: It's...it's over...thank you.....

Fox: It's alright Krystal. I won't let them do anything like that to you again. Guys, I think it's time I confessed.

Slippy: What's wrong Fox?

Peppy: Uh oh.

Falco: Heh, heh, heh. I knew it all along.

Fox: Krystal...I love you....

Krystal: I love you too. Let's leave this horrible place and stop Scales.

Falco: Yo ROB! Bring the Great Fox down here to pick us up!

ROB: Affirmative!!

Chapter 11: The End

Hope you liked this part. Looks Fox and Krystal have finally come out to tell the others about how much they love each other. I really wanted to get to that part.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

This chapter will reveal how much of a threat Scales really is.

Chapter 12: The Duel

Just as Star Fox and Krystal were making their way out of the room, they heard foot steps coming towards them. As it turned out, Scales had returned to check on his prisoners, but was shocked to see Star Fox standing before him, holding him up with blasters. The other thing that surprised him was that Krystal was alive.

Scales: What the devil is going here?!! You, the girl!! I thought I left you for dead!! And Star Fox, I thought you'd fly the coop after our first encounter in the Cerinian jungle!!

Fox: It's over Scales. If you put Krystal in that kind of situation again, I'd lock you up in a steal vault for life.

Scales: I'm sorry, but I won't let any of you leave this place alive, unless of course you defeat me in a game of honor Fox.

Fox: What's this game you're playing?

Scales: It isn't questions and answers for one thing. Now you face me.....in a duel!! One on one!!

Scales whipped out and extended Krystal's staff, which he took from her earlier. Fox reached for his backpack hoping to find a melee weapon, but he came out empty handed.

Peppy: This is a game of honor? What kind of man would fight someone who's not armed?

Scales: I guess when I kill Fox I'll be able to kill the rest of you in the same blow. Behold the power of the almighty

Staff of the Krazoa!! (Holds it firmly hoping for something to happen, but nothing happens) What's going on?! Where's the immense power I was anticipating?!

Krystal: You can't win Scales! Only those with the pure of heart can use the ancient power of the Krazoa! With your jet black heart, you won't even get a spark from it!

Scales: Grrr!! (Throws the staff back to Krystal) Never mind that!! I have other weaponry at my disposal for such an occasion.

Scales reached behind him and took out 2 laser swords, passing the other one to Fox. Each of them activated the blades, and got ready for the fight.

Fox: Remember the rules for this Scales, no outside or inside help!

Scales: Fine then!

The two combatants of the fight engaged each other. Fox and Scales slashed at each other, whilst blocking each other's blows at the same time. The sparks flew from their swords as they clashed. Krystal was still rather worried for her dear friend, and wanted to help.

Krystal: I've got to help Fox! (Falco stops her)

Falco: Not a chance baby doll!! That's Fox's fight up there!!

Fox and Scales continued to battle. Finally, by a stroke of luck, Fox disarmed Scales of his blade. Scales clutched his damaged hand as he nursed the fresh cut in his palm.

Scales: You may have bested me here, but it's not over! I'll be back Fox McCloud!

Scales turned and ran right back down the hallway, just as Fox put away his sword. Falco readied his blaster and took aim at Scales.

Falco: Time to fry lizard face!

Peppy: Let him leave Falco, he's suffered enough!

Slippy: We gotta get Krystal back home! Everybody's probably been worried sick!

Fox: You guys get Krystal back home, I gotta get Kyte out of his cell.

Slippy: Okay Fox! Good luck!

The rest of Star Fox left with Krystal to the Great Fox. Fox found Kyte at his cell, and with a slash from his sword, Fox broke the cell door wide open. Kyte got up and shook Fox's hand.

Kyte: Thanks for getting out that infernal cage. I have to order my army to stop.

Back in space, the fire between Sauria's and Cerinia's fleet continued for a moment until they ceased. Both fleets gave each other a sign with their right hands, and each returned to their home planets. Unfortunately, as they went home, they didn't notice that Fox was being followed on his way to Cerinia. The ship following was familiar, in a way that it was someone Fox had encountered a couple days ago. Wolf O'Donnell had come back for revenge.

Chapter 12: The End

Doesn't look good for Fox. Now it looks like Wolf's back to try and kill Fox yet again. Next time you'll see how their next encounter will work out.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

Think it's about time I did another chapter.

Chapter 13: Andross

The rest of Star Fox waited eagerly for Fox's return to the ship, but Fox was nowhere in their sight. They began to worry, so ROB looked for Fox on radar. Fox came up as a small symbol of his Arwing, which was being pursued by what they knew right away was a Wolfen.

ROB: Warning! Warning! Fox is nearby, but he is being pursued by a Wolfen class star fighter!

Falco: What?!

Slippy: Oh no!!

Peppy: We've got to warn him!! (Taps into his head set) Fox!! Get out of there quick!! Wolf's on your tail!!

Fox: Huh?!!

Wolf: Stop right there Fox! I wanna smear your face on something once and for all! (Fires at Fox, but Fox avoids the attack)

Fox: Why would you keep following me like this?!

Wolf: Because I want you to pay for all the agonizing pain you've put me through over the years!! (Fires but misses again. Fox flies away as fast as he can)

Fox: ROB! Ready the hangar bay! I'm coming back inside!

ROB: Affirmative!

Fox flew straight for the Great Fox when it came into his view. Thankfully, ROB sealed off the hatch after Fox got in, leaving Wolf still flying outside. Fox got right up to the bridge, and quickly started asking Wolf what he was up too.

Fox: Alright Wolf, what do you want from us this time?

Wolf: Let's just say I've been working in secrecy with someone on the outside. Frankly, he wants the little overload of power in Krystal's staff.

Krystal: How did you find out?

Wolf: I have my source, and he's back on Sauria.

Falco: Scales put you up to this?

Wolf: Not quite bird brain. I put him up to it. He even generously supplied me with a small group of soldiers, but even that ultimately failed.

Slippy: Then the Venomian troopers who attacked us on Cerinia were...Sharpclaws!

Wolf: I knew you were smarter than that. Scales seemed like the unstable type, so the master and I found him the perfect pawn.

Krystal: Who is your master?

Voice: How about I give you a verbal hint my dear?

Fox: That voice. I've heard it from before.

Voice: And I've know you for that good heart of yours that made you so persistent to destroy me.

Fox: Then it's......Wait a minute! Andross!!

Andross: Very true Fox McCloud! I had a feeling you'd suspect me! I came to the Krazoa Galaxy after my demise, went to Planet Sauria, and discovered General Scales. Scales told me about how he wished to overthrow President Cloudrunner, so Wolf and I offered him military supplies beyond his wildest dreams. Despite being such a foolproof plan, Scales failed me. Enough of the description Fox, how about an offer? Give me the power of Krystal's royal staff, or she'll die. I have ways of doing certain things with a flick of the wrist.

Fox: Don't you dare threaten her like that!!

Krystal: No!! I won't give my staff's power to such a madman!!

Andross: Then I'll destroy you all myself!!

A loud rumbling was heard. Somehow, the Great Fox had begun to contract slowly. At any rate, it would get so small it would kill it's occupants.

Krystal: Alright!! I'll do it.

Fox: No!!

Andross: Yes!!

Chapter 13: The End

Soon there's gonna be a climax. Keep on reading.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

Get ready! This chapter has an appearance by someone we all know and love.

Chapter 14: Corneria joins the Fray

That night, the Cerinian populace had gathered at the Krazoa Palace. The palace was a sacred area for Cerinia, as it also housed the great and powerful Krazoa. The Krazoa were ancient beings of peace that created the galaxy and filled it with life. Inside the palace, Krystal's parents watched as their daughter stood in the center of the entrance. For the occasion, Krystal had a drastic change in wardrobe. Right now she wore a long white gown with a wide blue stripe on the front and the back. Krystal extended her staff, and remembered something. Something she had heard from her father many times, and more recently from Peppy.

Krystal: ("I may not live with myself any longer after this. This cannot be happening.")

She couldn't give up on mastering her staff's power, but she felt like giving up now, since unleashing that power would revive the wicked Andross, thus starting the madman's reign of terror once again.

Krystal: It's time. (Holds up her staff horizontally, letting glow with it's usual bright light) I am here tonight for a resurrection. He who waits for me to release this power shall be revived, and walk the universe once more as a living person. Spirits of the Krazoa, unleash your power, and give this man the life force he desires!!

The light engulfed the entire temple, and then the entire galaxy. After a few moments, the light faded away. Krystal backed away slowly from where she stood, watching as Andross materialized before her. Andross appeared as ha had in person before his death, in his usual attire of a red suit with a long, villainous cape to match.

Andross: Ahh, so nice to be alive once more. I finally get to feel the ground under my own two feet again. I think I will destroy it, along with this planet!! All ships, attack Cerinia!! The universe will be mine!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Fox's voice: Not on your life!!

Andross: What was that?!!

Falco's voice: Time for us to show you our stuff, monkey man!!

Peppy's voice: I'll do to you what you did to James!!

Slippy: You'll pay for what you've done!!

Andross: We will just see about that Star Fox. I've been looking forward to the day I would see you all again. Meet me on Cerinia's moon, and we will settle this little dispute.

Fox: Very well Andross.

Krystal: ("Fox, please be careful up there.")

Fox: ("Don't worry, I'll make it back alive.")

Star Fox flew out of the Great Fox's hangar bay, and headed straight for Cerinia's moon. On the moon, the team met with Andross's flagship.

Andross: Nice of you to join me Star Fox. Before we begin, take a look back at Cerinia.

Fox: What are you *gasp*

Fox was shocked to see that Cerinia was under attack. The combatants of the battle down below were the Cerinian army, and the remains of Scales' renegade army.

Peppy: ROB! What's the status of Cerinia down there?!

ROB: Battlefield analyzed. 65% remains of the enemy fleet, while 50% remains of the Cerinian fleet.

Falco: Translation, their in serious trouble!!

Slippy: We might not be able to stop them!!

Voice: Do you always have to panic like that Slippy?

Slippy: Who's that?!

Falco: I recognize that gruff sounding old guy voice.

Peppy: Well if it isn't our old friend..

Fox: General Pepper!!

Chapter 14: The End

Okay, so we're not a climax yet, but it's nice that I put General Pepper in near the end, right? Keep reading as I keep writing.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

Here comes the climax!!  Sort of.

Chapter 15: The Transformation

General Pepper ordered his troops into assisting Cerinia in repelling Andross's forces.

Pepper: We have everything down here under control Fox! You must stop Andross!

Fox: Right General! Star Fox, let's go!!

Star Fox charged straight toward Andross's flagship, but Andross had other plans. Star Wolf flew out from behind and engaged Fox and the crew. Wolf chased Fox, Leon chased Falco, Pigma chased Peppy, and Oikonny chased Slippy.

Peppy: What's going on here?!! You said it would be just the 5 of us in this fight!!

Andross: Did I say that? No, I was lying as usual you old fool!!

Leon: Hold still so I can shoot you bird brain!

Falco: Not this time lizard face! Tonight we're gonna scrap!!

Slippy: You tell 'em Falco!!

Oikonny: Quit yakking and get blown to bits toad!!

Pigma: Hey Peppy! Too bad James ain't here to see ya die!

Peppy: Watch it Pigma!

Fox: You can't win here Star Wolf!!

Wolf: You're all talk and no fight, aren't you! I knew since the first time we fought!

Fox u-turned to get away from Wolf, and quickly got into his Arwing's communication system. By fiddling with a few controls, Fox opened up a comm channel for only him and his wingmen.

Fox: Listen up everybody! We've only got one shot at this, so follow my lead!

Each Star Fox member flew towards each other from the 4 corners of the combat zone. Fox gave the signal with a simple thumbs up to his companions, and each one of them fired a Nova Bomb into the center. When the bombs collided, they sent up a huge spherical explosion. Star Fox turned away from the blast, leaving Star Wolf to get hit by it.

Wolf: OH NOO!!

Each Star Wolf pilot tried to turn away from the blast like Fox and his team did, but they ended up getting caught in the blast. All 4 of them were blown so far upwards they were completely out of sight. Star Fox only managed to see 4 far off explosions from above, meaning Star Wolf might not have survived.

Slippy: Victory!! Now we just have to get rid of Andross!!

Andross: Yes.....you do....Star Fox.......But.......You've underestimated me........I've spent several long months preparing for this.....Now face my wrath!!

Star Fox watched in shock as Andross's ship began changing. The gigantic ship's 4 rocket boosters each locked together in groups of 2. Several different parts on the ship's nose moved so that it changed shape, until they formed the appearance of 2 large mechanical feet that crashed down into the moon's surface. The engines on the ship had finished changing as well, and when the formed the shape of 2 humanoid arms, out of each popped a hand almost as big as one of the feet. Andross's ship now looked like a giant ape standing on his feet, his arms hip level. Finally, the area of the ship where Andross supposabley piloted it, became a chest, and out from on top of it merged a gigantic version of Andross's head, big enough to fit near the shoulder area, and 2 devil like horns sprouted from it.

Falco: Oh....my....god!!

Andross: Now you will face my ultimate weapon of conquest Fox McCloud!!

Fox: I understand you want me, and me alone to fight you. Is that so?

Andross: This time it will happen!! (Flies off the ground and Fox follows) This time you will die just like your father!!

Fox followed Andross a few miles away from the moon. With a flick of the wrist, Fox charged at his adversary. The final battle had begun!

Chapter 15: The End

The next chapter will determine the victor of this fatal battle. I decided to stick in the sequence with Andross's giant mechanical suit as a homage to Unicron. Sideways, if you're reading this story, then I hope you liked this part. Everyone else, don't stop reading yet! I have more to come!

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

Get ready for the most shocking turn of events I've ever thought up. The final battle!!

Chapter 16: This Can't Be Happening!!

The final battle between Fox and Andross began. Andross swung and punched at Fox, while Fox maneuvered his ship around his enemy's physical blows. Andross cupped his hands together, and fired off a tremendous energy blast, which although it didn't kill Fox, it took off Fox's left wing, and part of the G-diffuser that accompanied it. With great aggression, Fox fired a charged shot right at Andross's face, which unfortunately didn't do much good. However, the shot hindered Andross's vision, taking out his right eye.

Andross: You won't take off anymore of my face Fox!! (Fires another energy blast which almost hits Fox)

Fox: This will be our final conflict Andross!! (Fires a bomb which tears most of the chest off Andross's machine)

Andross: There is more than one way to skin a Fox, and that is with a bigger knife.

Andross whipped out and extended a gigantic beam sword. With a quick swing, the sword nearly severed Fox's remaining wing. Fox had already had difficulty maintaining control of his ship, and realized he was on the brink of defeat.

Fox: ("There's gotta be a way to take him down for good, but where would I find his weak spot. But where.....")

Fox noticed what remained of Andross's chest, which was now spewing sparks. He then realized he had found his foe's weak spot.

Fox: ("That's it!!")

Fox fired a Nova Bomb and hit Andross right in the chest, this time making it a killing blow. Andross struggled to stay in control, and with his last bit of power, he managed to grab onto Fox's ship, not letting go.

Fox: Huh?!! What?!!

Andross: This isn't over yet!! If I go down, I shall take you down with me!!

Fox: Nooo!!!

Andross: I had prepared myself for this incident, just as I had been for more than 15 months! This time Fox McCloud, you will die along side me, your oldest enemy!! (Explodes)

Fox: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Back down on Cerinia, the fighting had ceased. Thankfully, the planet was only slightly damaged, not so much that it couldn't be taken care of. The remains of Andross's troops fled from the battle, with 44% of the Cerinian army still existent, and with them 77% of their newfound allies, the Cornerian armed forces. General Pepper contacted Fox to see if he was okay.

Pepper: Fox, this is Pepper speaking. We've managed to repel Andross's forces. Is everything alright up there? ......Fox?

Peppy: General Pepper, something terrible has happened!!

Falco: Andross just went ka-blamo, but he clipped Fox's wings at the same time!!

Pepper: Where is he right now?!!

Slippy: He's on a collision course with a mountain outside Krazoa Palace!!

Pepper: We must stop him from crashing!!

Allan: Fox is what?!!

Kira: It can't be possible!!

Krystal: No!!!

The Cornerian army later set up a blockade for Fox on the mountain, setting up some rather strong palm trees to help soften the landing. ROB informed them of Fox's arrival.

ROB: Warning! Warning! Fox is inbound to your location! Clear out immediately!

Everyone backed away quickly, just in time as Fox's ship came crashing down. Everyone had gathered to see the aftermath. Krystal rushed up to Fox's ship, and pried the cockpit open. She carried Fox out and laid him on the ground. Fox was barely alive. Peppy came up and gave Fox a small examination.

Peppy: It's no good. Fox...I fear that your wounds are fatal....

Chapter 16: The End

In the final chapter, which is the next one, we'll find out if Fox will be okay. Keep on reading, you're almost to the end.

[ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987]

Final chapter. I've decided to include a little more family history for Krystal.

Chapter 17: Coming to a Close

Everyone watched over Fox as he lay on the ground, still near death. Tears built up more in Krystal's eyes, as what she saw now reminded her of a tragic loss.

Krystal: Fox, you can't die! ....Oh no *sniff*......It's just like what happened to Sabre!

Falco: Who was Sabre?

Allan: Sabre was my only son, and Krystal's older brother. For 10 years he was a famed mercenary who always took on good deeds and justice for his work. One day it happened. He was killed in a job on the planet Kew, and they brought him home in a casket. After we lost him, Kira and I swore we'd never again get involved with the mercenary life-style, nor did we even associate with mercenaries. Krystal, that's why we didn't want you involved with Fox.

Krystal: I know father....but......I can't lose him like I lost my brother!!

Krystal clutched her staff tightly with the grief she had begun to suffer. A few tears left her eyes and hit it's tip. The staff began to glow with it's usual energy. Krystal couldn't believe what was happening, nor did she understand it, but she knew what it meant. She gently pressed her staff's front tip onto Fox's chest, and with a few seconds illumination around each other, Fox was able to stand back up. Fox was alive again, and gave everyone an assuring look.

Fox: Mission complete! (Everyone cheers) Krystal, I'm sorry I got you involved in all this. (They hug) There's something I've been waiting to do with you, but I don't know what your parents will..

Kira: Go ahead Fox. We can tell what it is.

Fox: Well, uh, thanks, but still...I'm a little...

Krystal: Fox, just stop talking now.

The 2 of them kissed right on each other's mouths, which made everyone cheer once more. Later that night, Allan and Kyte made up with a strong handshake, swearing that any and all rivalries between Sauria and Cerinia were over. Afterwards, there was a huge party throughout the planet. The party had food, drinks, and dancing, with a lot of pretty girls on the beach. Falco enjoyed this. There was also a fireworks display that spelled out in the sky "Thank you Star Fox!!" followed by an explosion that appeared as Fox's face. Fox and Krystal sat at their own little romantic spot on the beach. The 2 sat under the moonlight on a towel with beach chairs.

Fox: Krystal?

Krystal: Yes?

Fox: How did it happen? I thought you used the last of your staff's power to awaken Andross.

Krystal: I had forgotten at first, then I remembered something father had said. The staff gets it's energy from love, which I felt for you.

Fox: And what about communicating with me mentally?

Krystal: My tribe has a long history of telepathy, but that's not important.

Fox: ("Oh really?!")

Krystal: ("How did you learn to do that?")

Fox: Just emptied my mind and thought only of you!

The 2 lovers laughed with joy, and spent the rest of the night getting to know each other. A year later, with the permission of her mother and father, Krystal joined the Star Fox team as their new medical officer. Krystal became a very important part of the team, and never regretted her change of lifestyle.

Chapter 17/Final Chapter: The End

Dedicated to Don Ho

(1930-2007)

Finally I've gotten this story done after so long!! I decided to do the ending in a little bit of a memory of Don Ho because he died last April. Just wait until I start another story, whenever that's gonna be.
