Solid argument that Cerinia, Sauria and Lylat are related. Opinions wanted!

Obviously a non-nintendo game. I recognize the flipping mod for MP, as well as the MP2 engine. Neat.
The voice work needs a lot of help, especially the boss scenes with the guy laughing at her... He sounds like a guy speaking his lines into a mic in a vocal booth, not like a guy locked in combat, lol. Ah well. It appears to be far from finished so there's lots of time for the makers to fix stuff.

That Video is old though. if you want I can pm you the homepage.

No krystal is not a sexy only girl... she should use her staff and gun despise Fox being a little afraid of it oh by the way have you seen.

cool vid! Paths of Fate sounds like it's gonna rock!

December 23, 2009

Quite far-fetched, but not exactly stupid I'd say.

I'd say there isn't enough evidence to jump to that conclusion, but as I can't remember anything that goes against it either, it is basically entirely up to you if you want to include it in your future writings.

BTW, about how Krystal and Kite (Isn't that the name of that Pterodactyl?) attacked Scales galleon, I always tought it was Kite that breathed flames(How Rare got into their mind that they should take traits of the Dragons of folklore and mix it with prehistoric reptiles, I have no idea).

December 23, 2009

I was playing sf:Adventures and watched very closely. The energy rounds are blue, not red fire. They sparkle at the end of the flame trail and look like plasma rounds.

Finally, they come from above Kite's head. I did a lot of angled shots to be sure. Flying from left to right or the other direction, while firing. I realized kite neither opens his mouth or does anything when firing. In my back story info, for later in Ref of Fox, Krystal is putting the plasma blaster on Kite, either around his neck or... something. It'll be a lens from her ship's blasters. Why?? Because she doesn't use it when she's at the palace, so she musta' left it with Kite, which I think Fox uses later in the game... dragon rock to be sure.

!!yAy!!

December 24, 2009

You know, I still think that Andross was the one who destroyed the Cerinia people, since Krystal was the only survivor, and she seems to have recognized Andross before she was thrown into that energy and being trapped. Now about Marcus (Let's hope he isn't part of canon along with the rest of SFC) It didn't take a miraculous miracle from God for Fox and Krystal to have a son, their both Foxes...

I fairly certain Andross didn't fit in the small cave where she was pushed in the energy, plus, he was not resurrected yet... It also made dinosaur noises, I kinda just figured it was scales er something.

December 25, 2009

It's assumed it's Andross for a few reasons.

One, Scales was still in the Airship, shaking his fist at her and he's kind of a craptalker. He's got a big ego and talks some serious smack to his enemies. That's just his personality.

Two, the labored breathing... Andross was resurrected because he was the one giving Scales all the technological help. Why do we know this? Because several times Dinosaurs say that they've always been able to beat back Scales before... but this time he has some sort of help because he suddenly shows up with powerful weapons and such.

However Andross was most likely struggling to move because his body was beat up, thus the labored breathing. The reason he sees Krystal in what appears to be some sort of thermal vision... well... remember SF64 when you catch up with Star Wolf and everyone is beat up? Andrew had a pair of goggles over his eyes, Leon gets one over a single eye, etc. Basically, the theory is... Andross did that stuff to himself to patch up his own body while trying to expedite his healing process using Krazoan technology.

Krystal's last words to Scales was something like, "Bad luck, General! Better luck next time!" Her first words, more or less, to Scales was something like, "I've heard all about you, the Evil General Scales!" She had her finger in his face because she was showing some backbone to Scales.

But when she saw the character in the Krazoa Palace, she was shocked and horrified. "...YOU!" Rare just didn't want to give away the main badguy until the END of the game, as if to say... SURPRISE! IT WAS ANDROSS ALL ALONG! PS: You've all just lost the game!"

And we're all like... *GROANS* ....why? I'll tell you why! Because you can't use a Bafamalodad on Internet Memes.

Remember the beginning when you see Scales' ship that first time? There's a living half-Dinosaur head on the front of the ship. Who else makes bioweapons like that? Andross must have made it for Scales while hiding out in the palace. It was Andross who tricked Fox and Tricky into showing Krystal in danger and saying, "you gotta collect all the spirits and bring them to save me!" Krystal spoke to them in dino tongue... but she wouldn't have done that because she speaks languages using her telepathy... so if it was REALLY Krystal, she'd have spoken to Fox using Cornerian. Andross probably sent that message out to a lot of people on Sauria. He didn't care WHO brought the other spirits... so long as someone with a pure heart got their butts in gear and brought'em.

STUFF! Andross may have been a bad mamma jamma but... in the end we still kick his ass and life goes on. !!yAy!!

I HAVE OFFICIALLY DECIDED... to use a watered down version of the stuff I brought up in this thread for my story. I posted chapter 12 the other day. Chapter 13 will be up any day now. It's going to have three individual battle scenes. I'll open the scene with a one-on-one battle, go into a multi-opponent battle and end with a huge gunfight with some of our protagonists holed up in a small fortified location entrenched in the dirt... and they'll be surrounded by antagonists who are advancing little by little. STUFF.

PS: Christmas Morning, early as poo, I finished chapter 13. It's long, it has much fighting and a romantic ending. Since most of the fighting is centered around the main female heroes, and since there's some romance at the ending... it's just as much of a chapter for the ladies as it is for the guys. I'll post it at some point soon, after I get a chance to re-read it.

December 28, 2009

sorry for the delay, i know made your decision but i still want to say my point of view so this is it:

the cerinians were a very advanced race so they create this staff and is so advanced that the staff can analyze the actual owner, his DNA and everything, so wiht this is capable to adjust to the new one (if it was the case) and also scans the planet on were he is all the time and then is not a secret that on the planets there certain areas that have and an unusual energy, so the staff feels this areas and the owner can feel it too, and go there, so this hardware takes and transforms this energy in to something that can be useful according to the area (this is made wiht the scans that the the staff do because it save this data for that use).

and as for the messajes on the brain, i think that when the staff is Analyzing the new person, it made a quick scan looking for the old owner and if it don't find it automatically gets so deep in the brain and starts the messaje. it gets so deep that only send electrical impulses so it doesn't matter the languaje the brain will understand it.

and i don't think they were related

December 28, 2009

Okay, I feel the need to point a few things out here. XD

Most anyone could argue that Krystal found this staff ON Dinosaur planet and so she'd been using it since landing there to explore the distress signal... but the return argument is that it's HERS. A holographic message (or perhaps telepathic) plays TO Fox when he touches it. Slippy can upgrade it by installing an imagine shifter into Fox's computerized gauntlet, but it derives power FROM the staff, which then needs to be recharged (Yeah, I know, it's the game engine's system. That's using up your 'mana points' in a sense, or 'magic points' or whatever but... y'know... bare with my imagination here, LOL). Sauria doesn't have a lot of technology to offer except what Andross is providing to Scales. (Like the ship that ferries Tricky into the ice mountain region, Scales' galleon, which appears to have some sort of bio-weapon mounted hood ornament. Krystal and Kite attack that thing with a blue plasma blaster that Krystal fires up until landing on the deck of the airship. She's already lost her staff at this point, so I'm assuming it's a blaster... maybe built into her... uh... necklace or terra? LMAO) So obviously, the staff is a piece of technology that Slippy can later interact with using Star Fox's gear. (I doubt it's as simple as networking the gauntlet and the staff together via Bluetooth xD)

The Sharpclaw disguise is NOT part of the Staff's features even though it's on the staff power menu. Fox uses this disguise even before he steals the staff back, so it's obviously built into Fox's wrist gauntlet.

Also the Plasma bolts are fire from the Cloudrunner. Not only does the fact that Krystal doesn't have any weapons support this theory, but the shots also make the Galleon catch fire therefore pretty settling the argument of if it's fire or not.

AHEM.
When Krystal arrives... you find dinos laying all over the place. You blow up a wall, go inside and find another one on the floor. He's lying on the floor just inside the first hallway... and he says something about how the Krazoa palace has been left to the Dinosaurs for a "million years". Now, "million" is a pretty broad word. Like, for example, my grandfather is a million years old... but before I go and digress, let me beeline for the point. Okay, so we KNOW the Krazoa USED to live on Sauria, they left cities, temples, statues, technology, a palace that doesn't seem to loose it's shiny-floored luster after a 'million years'. (Hey it's shinier than the deck of GreatFox's bridge, and that thing only has 8 years of bachelor-style partying, pizza, aluminium cans strewn about, etc.)
The ONLY TIME we see a "krazoa" talk to Fox... we later find out it's a hologram from Andross, to trick him into bringing the rest of the spirits to the palace so that he can try and use their power (which, as we all recall... backfires later, because the spell stones have been returned, so they now help the planet instead of helping Andross, which is also arguable since he suddenly flies away... perhaps they DID help him... instant resurrection to full power, perhaps?)... So these Krazoa, as a people, are not NECESSARILY 50 feet tall.

Um, you see how Krazoa's actually look you know. They're spirits. They don't have bodies.

Andross uses Krazoa technology to restore himself. Krystal recognizes him and is all, like, "YOU!" before he throws her into the reverse polarity tractor beam at the beginning of the game. Until he can get these spirits together and successfully use their power to revive himself... he seems to be holding Krystal prisoner with little ray guns on mounted rails that could, theoretically, be slowly drawing life energy from her body in order to keep himself from straight up DYING. Just like the spirits' power, he seems to be able to sustain himself on HER life energy. ALSO! She knows him... so perhaps he's BEEN to Cerinia... maybe Andross has even learned that the two species are genetically related...perhaps he learned ON CERINIA that he should come back to Lylat and hide out on Sauria in order to revive himself?

Most people believed that Andross destroyed Cerina somehow and that's why Krystal recognized him. They are MANY different theories of how Cernia was destroyed by him too.

NOW... let's look at, in my opinion, the most COMPELLING reason to say that Krystal's people were related to these ancient Lylat dwellers! ....She's genetically compatible to breed with Fox McCloud. BAM! Boom Shaka-laka! Booyah, even. Lylat DNA. Kinda' like how scientists tell us that the Native American peoples were genetic offshoots of Asians about 30-50 thousand years out, based on DNA results. Why do we first see Krystal wearing seashells and a loin cloth? Well, we know that Dinosaur Planet was a completely different game before Nintendo asked Rare to give it StarFox spin... but we can easily explain it away by saying, "Hey! It's a jungle out there! A flight suit is damn heavy and stuffy for that kind of humidity! She made something comfortable to wear, not knowing there were any good looking bachelor foxes in the area until after her capture! xD

Er that's not really a good point, but I kinda see what you're getting at. Still though that's like saying just because they're both Foxes they're related somewhere down the line.

SO YEAH... HOW ABOUT IT?! Krystal's race is an ancient descendant of Lylat's first people and that's why her staff has ties to Sauria. The only OTHER thing I can think of is... that it's designed to incorporate other technologies from other planets, but hey... then again... I don't recall seeing Krystal have her staff when she visits GreatFox at the end of the game... so maybe she DID leave it there and that's why we never see it again in the series? But like I said, I've already made it an important subplot device and an integral component in my six story series... it's too late to change things now, right? XD

Krystal doesn't have the staff at the end of the game because Fox mysteriously gets it. How's that for a plot hole eh?

Seriously though, Fox is seen with the staff at the end of Adventures. People are still trying to come to conclusions on why that is though.

Obviously a non-nintendo game. I recognize the flipping mod for MP, as well as the MP2 engine. Neat.
The voice work needs a lot of help, especially the boss scenes with the guy laughing at her... He sounds like a guy speaking his lines into a mic in a vocal booth, not like a guy locked in combat, lol. Ah well. It appears to be far from finished so there's lots of time for the makers to fix stuff.

That seems like poor modeling on rares part as Krystal was simply not coded with her staff after she leaves Sauria.

I would'nt call it "poor modeling" so much as I would call it an inconsistency on the part of the modelers. The guys may have been on a deadline, and under the said condition they had no time to fix the error.

December 30, 2009

Thought I'd reply to a few of these... aaaand here we go!

Okay, I feel the need to point a few things out here. XD
The Sharpclaw disguise is NOT part of the Staff's features even though it's on the staff power menu. Fox uses this disguise even before he steals the staff back, so it's obviously built into Fox's wrist gauntlet.
Right! I've addressed that. I said it might even interface his gauntlet with the staff to draw energy from the staff's battery because using it uses power from your staff's meter!
Also the Plasma bolts are fire from the Cloudrunner. Not only does the fact that Krystal doesn't have any weapons support this theory, but the shots also make the Galleon catch fire therefore pretty settling the argument of if it's fire or not.
Plasma bursts are hot and would cause things to burn, like parts of the airship. One could say it comes from Kite cause when Fox rides Kite near the end of the game (Dragon Rock), he has the same ability but... why don't other Cloud Runners attack with plasma bursts? So in my story, Krystal disassembles a blaster assembly from her ship and places the lens on the choker on Kite's neck.

Um, you see how Krazoa's actually look you know. They're spirits. They don't have bodies.
However, at the beginning of the game and throughout, dinosaurs tell the player that the Krazoa used to populate this planet before they died out a million years ago. I'm suggesting that they, as the first sentiant species, colonized the rest of Lylat and neighboring systems. Then each population evolved differently over that span of a million years. The Cerinians turned out one way, the Kew turned out another way, Venom turned out another way with Sauria similar but different. Cornerians and other planets turned out yet another way, such and so-forth. A million years of evolution can go many different ways, right?
Most people believed that Andross destroyed Cerina somehow and that's why Krystal recognized him. They are MANY different theories of how Cernia was destroyed by him too.
No lie, lol.

Er that's not really a good point, but I kinda see what you're getting at. Still though that's like saying just because they're both Foxes they're related somewhere down the line.
LOL, just having a little fun with it. For all we know, + were never compatible anyway, which is why we never see hybrid characters, or the children of + in the SF:C endings, LOL. But in MY stories, there ARE hybrids, lol.

Krystal doesn't have the staff at the end of the game because Fox mysteriously gets it. How's that for a plot hole eh?
Krystal saw it wasn't working against Andross as he and Fox flew away. She got mad and threw it! JK. Seriously, though, as a fanfiction writer, we SF fans get to pick and choose what to write about. I say SF64 was a mistake and Fortuna / Fichina ...yeah. The part with Fox holding the staff... unexplainable, unless he let Krystal onto the flight deck before coming up to the bridge. Maybe she gave it to him and they hugged and he left the flight deck, assuming she'd leave... then she found her way up to the bridge to 'thank him properly', but that sounds convoluted at best, LOL. So yeah, loophole! haha.
Seriously though, Fox is seen with the staff at the end of Adventures. People are still trying to come to conclusions on why that is though.
Oooh. >_< He ain't gonna like to hear that.

Hey, it's honest critique. I'd give him inflection and tone suggestions. Also, the audio mix is a little beta-esque, right? It's super loud and sounds like there's no conflict ambiance to help set a mood. Just my two cents. I don't like insulting anyone.

ALSO...

sorry for the delay, i know made your decision but i still want to say my point of view so this is it:
the cerinians were a very advanced race so they create this staff and is so advanced that the staff can analyze the actual owner, his DNA and everything, so wiht this is capable to adjust to the new one (if it was the case) and also scans the planet on were he is all the time and then is not a secret that on the planets there certain areas that have and an unusual energy, so the staff feels this areas and the owner can feel it too, and go there, so this hardware takes and transforms this energy in to something that can be useful according to the area (this is made wiht the scans that the the staff do because it save this data for that use).
and as for the messajes on the brain, i think that when the staff is Analyzing the new person, it made a quick scan looking for the old owner and if it don't find it automatically gets so deep in the brain and starts the messaje. it gets so deep that only send electrical impulses so it doesn't matter the languaje the brain will understand it.
and i don't think they were related

The problem is, in my story I would have to change too much history about the staff to utilize that theory. I'm on the 6th story, lol. But some of this stuff is quite feasible. So far as how I've done it, I'll post the outcome of the chapter shortly and leave a link to the rest of the story (and series, if anyone wants it, which I doubt lol). Just so no one gets confused, Kursed was brought here from a parallel universe and crosses paths against her doppelganger, Krystal McCloud (and her son, Marcus). Also, because some will not have followed this far... Fara Phoenix suffers mortal wounds in Reflections of Fox and is put into cryogentic stasis by her rich parents. She's revived when Marcus is alive. Due to reader demand, she and Marcus slowly but surely fall in love. It starts awkward at first but... yeah.

December 30, 2009

A/N: This is chapter 14 of my sixth Reflections Series story, where I have the main antagonist come up with her big bad plan to destroy Lylat (and her reason as to why). At the end, I'll post the links to the stories incase anyone cares enough to read more. If not, no big deal. I'm posting this chapter because it's the outcome of this thread's conversation. The first two sections (Kursed first, then Fox and Krystal following) explain the background history of the Krazoa and their role in Lylat.

I just found out that you can only post 20k characters at a time. This chapter is 10k WORDS long, so I'll cut it into pieces.

Chapter -14-

“Waiting in the Wings”

Kursed watched Bliss and Carey on the security display. She glanced back at the main view screen and cleared her throat. “I’m sorry, Mister Bowman, I’m afraid I wasn’t paying attention to what you were saying.”

He looked angry on the monitor. “Perhaps this will catch your ear, General Kursed… My people apprehended two members of StarFox. You told me they were dead. Krystal McCloud was among the living! Using that stupid Cerinian staff, she managed to flatten an entire company of soldiers! They freed General Bill Grey and fled. I’ve been unable to track them! They were very angry that you killed their family members and they promised vengeance. How will you solve this?”

“Dash, my dear,” she put on a sweet tone and smiled softly. “I’m absolutely delighted that Krystal McCloud was able to escape Kyong Adler. That proves she’s a worthy nemesis.”

“You promised you could unite the Sharpclaw of Sauria and the lizards of Venom. You promised that I would have an army group. I want a million and a half men, General Kursed. We barely have a division at close to nine thousand soldiers! Katina, alone, has an infantry corps of forty thousand, an air corps of fifty thousand, and that’s not even close to Corneria’s numbers. WHO is going to man my battle fleet?”

Kursed lifted a paw, finger extended. “I have a few tricks up my sleeve, darling Dash Bowman.” The syrupy sweet voice was offered to put him at ease. “After all, I have you to thank for resurrecting me. We’re in this together, Dash. I’m headed to Sauria now to recruit the Sharpclaw tribe. Just think, once we spend a little time furthering their education and teaching them how to use high tech weapons… you’ve just added another full division to your ranks. An excess of ten thousand, perhaps closer to fifteen, my dear.”

“Sauria is an otherwise worthless planet,” muttered Dash with a tone of frustration and contempt. “Nothing has come from that planet ever. It’s utterly useless. Bring the Sharpclaw from Sauria. They’ll be much happier on Venom anyhow.”

She stared at him over the display for a moment then glanced to the left without a word. Dash continued to complain. Finally, she drew in a slow, calm breath and said, “You are the reason we lack enough soldiers to fight a ten million man multi-theater war, Dash Bowman. Forgive me for insulting you, dearest Dash, but please understand that Venom does not hold you in high regard. They see the only true hero as Andross. He came and gave them direction, technology, focus and an economy. He made them civilized. He later came back and, through his work, he restored their planet’s ecosystem. After the Anglars were defeated, the lizards found themselves in a paradise. They respect Andross. You may think they’re idiots but they see you Dash, my dear. Andrew led them to war and they were crushed. The Anglars were crushed. You came along and led them… they were crushed. Their economy is globally ruined for decades. Poverty is worldwide. You managed to place blame on your cousin, Andrew… and he went to prison. You snuck away and Corneria forgot your trespasses. But Venom did not forget.”

“Yes, but…”

She spoke over him. “Then Andrew comes back while you’re trying to rally those people. He starts a civil war and the two of you feud over who’s the heir to Andross’ ‘throne’. As if there ever was one. Then you two attack one another. People were killed in those attacks. Venom does NOT respect you, and so you have a mere company aboard your core base. One hundred seventy-five soldiers. That’s it. That, my darling, is your fault. You said Krystal defeated them with her staff? I believe it. She probably knocked them all to the ground then wiped them out. She’s obviously capable with it. I can only imagine the deck plates need replacing.”

Dash’s lower lip quivered in an attempt to maintain his composure. “…They were… rippled for a radius of one hundred meters in every direction.”

“Indeed.” Kursed lifted her head and gazed down her nose at him. “How can you lead this planet to success? They disrespect you. The only thing that has impressed them in the last few days is the death of Star Fox.”

“NOT ALL of Star Fox! I TOLD you that Krystal and another woman are alive! THAT is YOUR fault!”

“Listen to me.” Kursed leaned forward and gazed into his eyes on the other side of the display screen. “They will not completely follow you. If you were to lead the military as Commander in Chief, that would be one thing… but Emperor? You’re not their Emperor, Bowman. If they were to elect a president or a prime minister, they would not vote for you. You do not have their trust. They saw your squabbles with Andrew. Then the two of you sought to unify under one banner? A short time later, Andrew is mortally wounded and you have him frozen. They’re not idiots. They know you were behind it, so that you could rule everything yourself. It was political suicide on your part. They do not trust you. Be glad I’m around to clean up your messes.”

Again, Dash fidgeted. She watched him for a moment then he looked up at her. “We’re in this together, aren’t we?”

She glared at him. “Are you reduced to a sniveling child? Do you want me to redeem your shattered ego, now?” She lifted both of her paws and sighed dramatically with an apologetic looking expression on her face. “Dash, darling friend… Dash Bowman, the man who restored me from death… You’re the reason I’m no longer religious… I want you to understand something, Dash: I respect you. But my respect is meaningless. We are more than friends… we are Venom’s new military party. But if we’re in this ‘together’, they’ll disrespect me. They’ll see it the way they saw you and Andrew. They’ll think you’re in charge and he’s dead to the world, for a lack of better words. If they disrespect you, and if I’m your sidekick, then how can you ask them to respect me?”

He chewed on his lower lip in thought. Bowman shook his head. “You should become the leader in the public eye. You’ll run Venom. I’ll rule things from behind a curtain and direct the military campaigns. Then we can rebuild Venom. We’ll do it like they did on Corneria. We’ll have recruitment centers and give the recruiters a quota. We’ll promise money to their families and money for education and base this money on the new economy that will provide for global Venom.”

“If only it were that easy,” she murmured. “Set your small plans into motion. Set up the recruitment facilities. However, you cannot simply bow out.”

“Oh?”

Kursed nodded slowly. “Venom respects power. I will defeat you in combat. Instead of killing you, I will take mercy on you and give you a position of military leadership and explain that I’ve… sensed that you have a very… ah… tactical mind. I’ll organize a democratic vote and allow them to vote for the both of us. Because I’ll have defeated you, they’ll vote for me and, as you know, people stand behind those they’ve voted for until proven wrong. I won’t prove them wrong. There will be no need to campaign. They’ll vote in two weeks, long enough to arrange a way to properly count the votes. Once we’ve tallied the popular vote, if you’ve lost then I will become leader of Venom. But… because you’ve restored me and I am… indebted to you… you’ll run things from behind a curtain.”

“Why… do the vote if we both agree that this is a solution?”

“Because you cannot govern the people without consent of the governed. We will let them feel as though they are apart of something on a larger scale… choosing their leader. This will give them a sense of purpose. See to it. I will contact you again shortly.” She closed the channel and groaned. “What an imbecile! I should have killed him for bringing me back to life. But…” She trailed off and began pacing the bridge. The doors opened at one end. Bliss and Carey stepped onto the bridge.

Kursed smirked. “So, you’ve come to confront me. Very clever, listening in on our conversation. I am impressed that Carey managed to break the encryption.” She glanced over at the girls. “Telepathy is a wonderful thing and I’ve saved you the trouble of blathering. What else do you want?”

“Why are you manipulating your way into a position of power over Venom?” O’Donnell took a seat at the tactical station. Carey settled down at the communication terminal. “And I thought you lost your most recent memories. You were talking about things that you lost… like Dash taking over and losing to Star Fox.”

“It’s strange… I’ve recently had a breakthrough. But that’s not all that I remembered,” she mused with a subtle shrug. “Bliss, my little sidekick, you hate me. You’re angry that I’ve ordered Marcus McCloud to his death because your brother cared for him. You even tell your brother things, as if I didn’t know. Again, I’m telepathic. Yet I keep you around. Do you know why?”

“Because you need my girlfriend to make your effing bomb.”

Kursed opened her arms and smiled in a delighted manner. “Yes! But that’s not all!” She brought her palms together. “You show such promise. You’re a clear-headed thinker and you impress me. Bliss, I forgive your trespasses but I need to know one thing… if Corneria were to be destroyed, would you come after me? I need to know that, despite angering you, do I still have your loyalty? I want to hear you say it.”

“You can’t destroy Corneria… Only the creator could destroy an entire planet. And why would you want to? Lylat is the most unique system in known existence… EVERY single planet in the system can sustain life. We have two stars. It’s the most prosperous system ever. If you go trying to destroy the Creator’s work… religious or not, you’re asking for some seriously bad karma. But no, I could care less about the people on that planet, save for my brother.”

“I would allow him to live,” said the sapphire vixen. “But I require Corneria’s population to disappear because I have plans for that planet. Please do not be offended when I tell you that the Creator does not exist and that I have proof. Please do not be angry when I explain that Katina will disappear as well. You see, I’ve regained some of my memories… and despite what I’ve apparently done in my universe… destruction of entire worlds… that was needless and a waste. I’ve clearly realized what my purpose is now that I’ve been brought back to life.”

“This should be good,” Bliss said to Carey with a roll of her eyes. “Lay it on us, Kursed.”

She leaned back in the chair at the center of the bridge and rotated it towards them. “Girls, I have the geneticist, Doctor Andross, to thank for my plan. Using the work he left behind on genetic modification and engineering, I will clone myself. I will clone the only surviving male Cerinian in existence… the son of the late Marcus McCloud. I will biogenetically engineer his DNA and remove Cornerian modifiers. I will make subtle changes to his DNA and my own so that we’re not truly related so that there will be no possibility for genetic inbreeding flaws. I will create a village of these people, males and females, and place them on Corneria. It will be renamed New Cerinia and I will be the mother of my own race. Katina will become Meredith, the moon of old Cerinia… and will be the second colony. Venom and Sauria will be the worlds of my warrior race, the reptiles that will protect Lylat. The remaining planets will be populated with Cornerians that I’ve allowed to live. Eladard, Papetoon, Fichina and the rest… they will live with Cerinians as their scholars and leaders, for leaders need a people to lead. We will become the most prosperous civilization, a trinity of peace and unity. These three races will come together as a great union under one banner. And, when I’ve deemed them ready, we will lead our great new nation against the Kew and destroy their ‘telepath hunters’. Then our people will be truly safe in this galaxy. That is my legacy.”

“Whoa…” Bliss ran her paw up through her headfur. “You’re going to kill billions of people on two planets so that you can colonize them with your homegrown version of Adam and Eve? Fantastic. And what are you going to do with the billions upon billions of bodies?”

“They’ll return to dust during the terra-forming sequence.” She watched Bliss and Carey’s eyes widen. Kursed smiled inwardly, sensing their shock. “It’s not the gentle way that Andross managed for Venom. He spent years upon years to create a way to terra-form a planet without destroying the current inhabitants. It wasn’t true terra-forming, because all he did was restore balance. I’m going to reformat those planets like a hard disc drive. It will be fresh and clean and empty. I will pass down the knowledge of old Cerinia and impart it to the new inhabitants of Corneria and Katina… and teach them the ways of their people, their culture and their past. I will become the mother of the new home world and make it as it once was.”

O’Donnell sighed. “I know it sucks to be the last of your kind and all… but this is a little extreme. You’re talking about genocide on a level unheard of by anyone. You’re talking about the mass murder of approximately twenty billion people. You’re talking about sparing maybe two billion combined people, counting everyone on Sauria and everyone left alive on Venom and the other planets, and another three billion people on Eladard, which is a city the size of an entire moon. Let’s see… twenty billion dead people… five billion survivors. Why… why would you be okay with wiping out seventy-five percent of Lylat’s population?”

“Because they’re unnecessary.” Kursed folded her paws. “The answers to my destiny lie on Sauria. The Krazoan technology of the past is the key to my future. We’re headed there, now. Dash thinks that Sauria is a worthless chunk of rock that never had any value. He’s a true idiot. I’m nearly running out of patience with him. His usefulness is now questionable.”

“Kill’em,” said Carey with a shrug.

“Not yet,” murmured the sapphire-furred woman with a frown. “All in due time. That would be like cutting off my pinky fingers because they’re useless to me. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. I’ll keep the pinkies; Dash will stay around for now. Utilizing him to keep a grip on Venom is the same as utilizing that small finger on each paw to hold an apple. I have a slightly better grip with it, even though they’re otherwise useless digits.” She abruptly changed the subject. “So, I’ll need you girls to finish up with the creation of this bomb for me.”

“I’m having trouble,” muttered Granton in a sour voice. “If people die by turning to dust, I’ll mourn them… but liquefying their organs with radiation is… disgusting.”

Kursed lifted a paw and smiled. “I’m not about to use it on people. I don’t wish to use it to kick-start a ‘gravity bomb’ because I no longer wish to return home. I’ve decided to use its unparalleled blasting power to unearth the most advanced technology beneath Sauria. The forcepoint temples pale in comparison to this machine… I need it to finish changing the face of Lylat. This ‘nuclear’ weapon will help me to unearth my destiny as we do not possess the manpower to mine it out in our lifetime.” She waved a paw at the girls and smiled. “You’re both dismissed. Finish my bomb, please.”

December 30, 2009

“I don’t quite follow, Fox,” said Krystal with a frown. The two mates linked arms as they walked through the dusty trail together. Foliage grew more densely in this region with the jungle in the distance. “Andross’s research wound up on Kursed’s computers… I follow that. And she had information on Sauria that suggests that the Krazoa were the first sentient life forms in Lylat. I understand that, too. They were a technologically advanced civilization a million years ago and it’s obvious they were brilliant… they managed to invent two force point temples and four energy charged stones, used to keep the world in one piece… that’s incredibly complex technology, the likes of which none of our civilizations – yours nor my own – has ever heard of… not to mention it still works and holds the planet together after its inventors have been gone for a million years… metallic things rust away to dust in a few centuries. Concrete and stone erodes away in a few millennia. For several temples to survive a million years of tectonic shifting, not to mention the force point temples still function after this long… it’s truly amazing. But how does the rest of this come to play?”

“From what Slippy and I could figure, while reading these files… it looks like Kursed destroyed Sauria in her universe so she could sift through the debris of the planet. She was looking for something. She destroyed Fichina to test out the power of the spellstones, using them to push a planet apart. It was just a random target; a victim of circumstance.”

“That’s awful,” she said, pushing leaves from her way. “But what about the terra-forming bit?”

“That’s what she was really after. Apparently Lylat’s Goddess is the Krazoa. From what Andross has learned by studying the planet, they were the first sentient life forms. They created a telekinetic amplifier to control the chaos of floating debris in Lylat. They designed a machine built into the planet and fired it into the cosmos, seeking to play ‘God’. They turned one planet into a second star, which we now know as Solar. They used the telekinetic amplification device to bring rocks and rubble together to create planets from all the asteroids in our system. Then they used this supposed machine to terra-form it into a world and create an atmosphere. We’ve always wondered why the Lylat system is the only system in existence where every single planet sustains life? It’s apparently because of the Krazoa. Their world was dying from pollution and so they wished to branch out and colonize other worlds. Some stayed on what we now call Sauria. But the planet was pushed into death.”

She looked around at all the lush green plants, trying to imagine the planet as a dying, polluted chunk of rock but it seemed far-fetched. “But Sauria is beautiful,” she murmured. “Then what?”

“The planet started to break apart from using the terra-forming machine. It was fired from the planet’s surface and apparently used thermal energy from the core to power it. Those who stayed were worried that the planet coming apart would be dangerous to their newly colonized neighbors so they all came together and invented the two force point temples and the four spell stones. They work, even after a million years, they still work.”

“It’s incredible that they would survive the test of time.”

Fox nodded in agreement. “According to Andross’ research that was found on Kursed’s databanks, it claims that the Krazoan people that remained on Sauria were dying from the pollution. It was deadly to their bodies and they began dying off. The last few survivors sent some of the reptiles to Venom so that they wouldn’t all die out. Then they left the planet. However, they wanted to find something new besides what they’ve created in Lylat. Once in deep space, the group became split on an unknown issue. Some settled on Kew the rest settled on Cerinia. And, so, both my race and your race has descended from the same ancestors a million years off.”

Krystal nodded. “And the people of Cerinia focused themselves to becoming telepathic. The people of Kew, some of them at least, devoted themselves to travel and became adapt at teleportation. They watched our people and when a telepath became powerful and harmful, they were the watchers and hunters that took down the telepath. It’s nearly impossible to telepathically prepare yourself for someone that can teleport behind you and take you down in the blink of an eye. You’ll never see it coming from such a distance.”

“I don’t know much about those things,” Fox replied. “The lizards evolved on Venom and created a highly cultured civilization. Then they went to war against mammals on Titania. They wiped one another out. The people of Corneria would go into hiding during those wars and they would stay beneath ground until the system-wide fighting ended. Because of the interplanetary fighting, no one in Lylat was able to elevate their brain functions with the likes of telepathy or teleportation… but Andross, while he was on Venom, learned of a machine similar to the one used on Sauria… it was a telekinetic amplification device… he didn’t have the same creative vision of the Krazoa… instead, he used it to hurl things at StarFox. A lot of good it did him though, we still kicked his butt back to the Stone Age.”

“I hate to say it, Fox, but violence has kept Lylat from becoming as civilized and as sophisticated as your genetic cousins.”

He slipped a paw around her waist and drew her close. “That’s why I married you… I wanted a little culture and sophistication in my life.” He swished his tail, happy to be closer to her. “That means Marcus is the brightest star in Lylat.”

Krystal turned her head towards her husband. “That was a very bad pun, Fox.”

“I…” He thought about it… the brightest ‘star’ in Lylat. He groaned and shook his head. “Not intentional. I was trying to be sweet to you.” He gave her rump a playful swat and said, “But I love you anyway.”

She smiled brightly and nuzzled gently into him. “Fox, you referred to the Krazoa as playing ‘Goddess’ by creating the system. Do you still believe in religion?” The topic appeared to concern her.

Fox placed his paw against the small of her back and smiled. “Krystal, just because the Krazoa created all of us and everything in Lylat doesn’t mean a one true being of higher power doesn’t exist. After all, who created the Krazoa?”

She placed her head on his shoulder and the topic of religion was dropped. “I take it Kursed never found the terra-forming machine while rooting through the rubble of post-Sauria… What do you suppose she would want with it?”

“I’m not sure,” he said with a sigh. “But no, she didn’t find it. She believes that she may have destroyed it inadvertently when the planet came apart. She believes that it may have been built INTO the planet, using the core as part of the battery. When Sauria came apart, so to did the terra-forming machine. This is all speculation on Andross and believe me… his word doesn’t hold a lot of meaning to me but… I read through some of those files because I wanted to know what we’re dealing with. This girl is fanatical. She needs to be stopped. Dash was insane to bring her back. We’ve got to stop her before she can try to obtain it. I just can’t figure out why Andross did so much research on it to begin with, let alone how she obtained his files.”

“It makes sense that Andross would have done so much research on terra-forming and the technology of the Krazoa. He’s the one who invented the machine that restored Venom, after all. But the machine used by the Krazoa… would it have the same effect?”

“No,” said Fox. He took a leafy branch and pushed it aside for his wife. They continued down the trail, which grew darker from the thick jungle vegitation starting to spring up around them. “Other worlds didn’t exist yet. The Krazoa had to do more than fix a preexisting atmosphere… they had to make things from scratch, so their machine would wipe out whatever is already in existence and create something fresh and new.”

The little blue vixen swallowed. “It would be akin to reformatting a computer. Everything that was once in there… gone. That would be replaced by all new things… but the old things would be removed then re-written. It has the potential to be the most dangerous weapon we’ve ever encountered, Fox. We have to stop that from happening. We can’t let it fall into her possession.”

McCloud shrugged. “If it even exists after a million years. Tectonic activities probably destroyed it.”

“Not if it was built into the planet, beneath the tectonic plates, love. It would be safe there. Perhaps they even made the planet come apart, using the force point temples in order to design the machine and build it into the ground… then they used the force point temples to bring it back together and hold it in place? That’s one way they could access it with ease, like forcing the planet to lift its hood in order to work on the engine from time to time.”

“It’s very possible,” said Fox. “Andross is interpreting a million year old eroded writing and following up with theories and whatever he read that was left over on Kew or Cerinia when he arrived there. Anything is possible. In theory, the Krazoa might not have done squat. Cerinia might have come to Lylat and colonized it to become neighbors with the Krazoa people... who later died out, while the rest of Lylat prospered, but never evolved their higher brain functions like those back in the ‘old system’. Anything is possible and everything is speculation. But one thing is true… you and I are compatible. Genetically, physically, mentally, spiritually… and our marriage works really well. So I’m not complaining.”

Up ahead one of the long lost temples rose from the ground. They began to ascend the stairs to the top. Once they were in the canopy of the trees, they looked out over the hills and valleys in the distance. Fox began searching the roof for a way to get inside when his wife tugged at his sleeve and pointed to the sky.

McCloud looked up at the cloudy arc of a ship’s vapor trail as it entered the atmosphere. He glanced back at Krystal with a frown. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s her… I sense her. She’s here. And she senses me. I’ll do my best to block her so that she can’t find us… but she now knows that I’m here and she’ll be on the lookout for me. I saw her on Titania when I was with Marcus, love. She’s difficult to read and very dark. It’s like standing besides something haunted… being near her makes the hair on the back of my neck fluff up.”

He swallowed back nervousness. “Do your best to block her. Let’s keep our focus, here. Right now, we’re several steps ahead of her. Let’s keep it that way.”

GreatFox sat in a drydock cage on Corneria. Space Dynamics logo tarps covered each porthole and workers milled around the hallways. The door to his quarters swished open and Fara Phoenix walked in, dressed to impress. She had a purse with her and a portfolio in her other paw. She placed the envelope full of files on his coffee table and said, “I’m here to pick you up. Did you miss me? I was at work all day, honey, being the breadwinner of this family.”

Marcus adjusted his tie in the mirror then turned to Fara, grinning at her playful humor. He knew she’d been out all day working with the people from Phoenix Enterprises to settle some things in regards to the recent prisoner transfer and in helping GreatFox when their engines went down the other day. She also had been invited to a press release concerning General Grey’s return and so he’d not seen her yet until now. Marcus’s eyes flitted over her and he offered an appraising smile. His paws dropped to his sides so as not to block the tie he wore. “Did I get it right? Dad showed me.”

She grinned and placed her palm against the fabric of the tie, looking him over. “When a woman sees a man she likes dressed up just the right way…” She ran her fingers down over the tie much the same way Violet had only a year ago. “You clean up nicely. You’re getting better with the tie knot,” she added.

Marcus grinned at her, sensing her attraction. “You should see things on my end.” He reached for her paws and eased them away from the tie, pushing thoughts of Violet out of his head. She wore a black dress, simple and elegant with a slit in the side that offered a hint of thigh to the beholder. Everything was form fitting and opulent. She offered her arm to him and he linked his elbow into hers. McCloud’s door opened and a man with metallic hoses coiled over a shoulder walked by in overalls.

“So what time did you set the reservations for?” asked Phoenix.

He offered her a slight grin and a nod. “Hey, I’m dead. I have all the time in the world.” He caught her sidelong glance and said, “Nineteen hundred hours, sweetheart. Bill and Fay said it was definitely worth seeing – best theatre production, all that jazz. I’ve never done this whole ‘lying low’ thing before.”

“You never had to,” she chuckled with a shake of her head. “Don’t worry so much about it – low lighting and the evening ambiance make it difficult to tell your fur has a tint of blue to it. It looks close enough to gray that people will just assume you’re a swift fox or something. That’s why I wanted to go out for an evening date.”

“Sounds good to me.” He stopped by the bridge and grinned at Ted and Vivian. “You guys are always hanging out here. Is it more interesting than the rec room?”

Vivian lit up, seeing Fara and Marcus dressed for a night on the town. “Well, it seems like every time we leave the bridge, something comes up. So I sit here and play around online. Ted sits here and watches internet videos of college kids doing dumb stuff with a video camera. Life is good; no one bothers us. Besides, even when we’re doing the same stuff in our quarters, it’s nice to have company.”

Ted grinned at the couple. “Yeah, we’re both the kind of people that like having someone around to talk to. If I see something especially funny, I like sharing it with someone, so Vivian watches and laughs with me and… yeah. Life’s good.”

Fara chuckled softly as a show of good natured-ness. “Cheers, you two. I won’t be wearing my headset.” She lifted her purse a little then put it back on her shoulder. “I’ve got my handheld so call us if anything comes up.”

Vivian approaches the two foxes. She stood back a little more than arm’s length with her paws up, outstretched with her thumbs together as if to make a frame. “You two are an adorable couple. Fara, girl, you cleaned him up well. Even I’m envious. You did real good.”

Marcus cut a grin at Fara who looked regal, pleasant and smiled so as to look neither snobbish nor giddy in reply to Vivian’s kind words. However, he could sense the fennec’s secret pride. She winked playfully then gave McCloud’s paw a gentle tug so they wouldn’t be late. Vivian returned to her seat on the bridge and relaxed by drawing her feet up underneath of herself. By contrast, she wore pajamas with, of all things, bunny slippers.

Out in the hall, the two pilots headed for the cruiser’s flight deck. A gangplank took them down to the warehouse floor where various repair vehicles and small tractors with carts of workers zipped by. McCloud glanced over his shoulder at the enormous combined GreatFox ships. He looked around at the impressive dome that covered the work area then released Fara’s paw and put his arm around her. “You’re going to be awarded a medal for rescuing General Grey. So is Miyu and mom. You guys did really good.”

“I know. Everyone did their part and worked their tails off. But the truth is… we’re lucky to have survived it.” Phoenix leaned into him, glad for the comfort of his arm. “It’s nice to lower my defenses for once. It’s nice to feel safe and not have to worry about things, even if it’s just for a little while. Plus, you can sense when we’re in danger so… I feel that much more safe letting my guard down when I’m around you.”

“This is shaping up to be a good evening already,” he told her. “I’ve got the bad guys on the run, my team rescued the General and I’ve got the girl. Man code of honor, rule three – it’s all good if you’ve got the girl. And if you don’t have her yet, find or rescue her right away. It works for almost all video games, all movies and it works in real life.” He nuzzled up to her as the two crossed the titanic hanger. Up near the far wall, they were given a ride by one of the transit drivers and taken all the way out to the front gates. There, waiting by a quiet curb, was an outstanding and shiney new convertible. The red roadster chirped and its parking lights flashed as Fara neared it.

She cut her eyes back, seeing his eyes widen. “You like it? I’ve only put two hundred miles on it.”

“But I didn’t know you even owned one of these!”

She beamed. “You know you want to drive it. I have a thing for red sports cars. I always have. Why don’t you have some fun?” She passed him the keys. She didn’t need to have telepathy to know he was excited and bottling his emotions. She could tell because his heart was beating harder. “Go on.”

He moved around to the driver’s side and slid into the seat. The high tech seat morphed around him, conforming to his body until it cradled him. His tail sank through a small hole at the slope of the bucket seat and the ‘start engine’ button flashed from the proximity of the keypad. He set the plastic key unit in a cup holder and used his index claw to touch the ignition button. The car roared to life and lifted slowly, hovering only mere inches from the ground.

Fara settled into the passenger seat and placed her purse down by her ankles. “Like it?”

He gripped the wheel and squeezed the leather-like wrapping that coated the wheel. It creaked in reply beneath his touch. “Oh my god this car is insane!” His eyes cut to the center console. “Where’s the shifter?”

She nodded to the steering wheel. “The manual version is in my personal garage. This one has those.” She watched him ease his fingers over the wheel, brushing his fingertips against the tap-shifter paddles.

Marcus shook his head slowly as if in disbelief. “I never get to see the rich girl side of you. You’re always so simple, clean cut and uncomplicated. This is amazing.” He touched his fingertips against the shifter and put it into second gear, easing slowly forward. “I’m going to start off in a higher gear because I’m not used to the torque… what’re the specs on this thing anyhow?”

“Only the finest,” she said in reply. “Fifteen hundred horsepower and an equal fifteen hundred foot-pounds of torque. When we’re not around society, I’ll let you floor it and redline every gear.”

“Redline…? Why would I do that to your car?”

“Because these cars are designed to be driven aggressively.” She reached over and placed a paw on his knee. “We’ll play around with it after the show. Get us to the theatre without getting a speeding ticket. You’re supposed to be dead; giving out your license would prove otherwise. It’s your choice, babe.” She then side-nodded towards the road. “You’re clear for takeoff, flyboy.”

((Section removed for reference to adult themed situation between Marcus and Fara))

Kursed folded her arms with a smirk. The leader of the Sharpclaw tribe stood directly across from her. The assembly of reptiles were all around the same age, none were in their teens and not a single lizard was beyond twenty-something years of age. “You’ve got our interest, girl. But we could never follow someone who is an inferior warrior. Fight me. Even if you lose, I’ll judge your heart on how strong of a warrior you are. I’ll decide if you’re worthy to lead our people to join our cousins on Venom.”

“If you survive, I’ll make you a commander in my new military.” She smiled somewhat and turned to Bliss O’Donnell. “Ladies, you’ve both done a remarkable job of helping me. Now that your work is complete, you may stay around a bit longer or take your leave. Bliss, I’m sure you need to report everything to your brother as you do way too often. I could care less at this point.” She saw the hybrid wolf-vixen’s expression. “What? You didn’t think I knew? However, if you’d like to leave,” Kursed shook her head with a knowing grin and a shrug. “Well, dear, now is the time. You may take the ship with you so you have a way off the planet. Dash will be sending troop transporter ships for my new future allies,” she explained, confidently gesturing to the assembled Shawpclaw leaders.

Bliss shook her head slowly. “I already know you’ll win so there’s really no reason to stick around. But if you need a mercenary squadron in the near future… look me up.”

Kursed narrowed her gaze. “Why? So you can leak my whereabouts to your brother again? The O’Donnell clan is nothing special, Bliss. Dash hired your father’s team and they’ve done nothing. They didn’t stop Grey from escaping; they didn’t stop your second cousin by marriage – the one with the blue fur – from getting away. Oh, wait, surprise… I know about that, too. Yes, what a big surprise! Your mother is related to Fox McCloud. As if I didn’t know.”

O’Donnell gritted her teeth. “It’s not like the entire Reinard family died when Vixy was killed. It might be possible that there’s a little genealogy going on…”

“Oh shut up,” replied the vixen with a roll of her eyes. “Marcus McCloud is your cousin, I know exactly how the bloodline really works. Listen to me, I’m going to tell you something else… something you didn’t know and something I didn’t know until a little while ago…”

“What?” She glanced at Carey then back to Kursed.

“I sensed him. Something has happened to him in the last half an hour that is making Marcus McCloud radiate with such intensity that I’m able to sense him – I’m not sure but I think he’s experiencing love. He’s consumed with this sensation. So there… he’s alive. You can stop hating me for murdering your silly little cousin. The funny thing is… he doesn’t even know he’s related to you. What he does for your brother is purely out of respect as friends. So, are you happy? Your good-for-nothing family member is alive.”

Bliss swallowed back embarrassment and frustration. She turned to Carey, took the woman’s wrist and they left together. The ten tall lizards and Kursed waited until the two females were out of the chamber. Finally, Kursed looked back at the leader and nodded. “What did you call yourself? General Scales? That tyrant wasn’t able to do anything but bully people.”

“You insult Scales?” said the leader in shock. “How dare you do such a thing?”

“He was an idiot. I could have destroyed him without even trying.”

The leader gritted his teeth. “I will give you two options… you either die in my claws or you kill me and prove to my people that you’re worthy to lead them. They will respect the power of the victor and to that person goes the spoils. But your insult has angered me… and this combat will now go all the way to the death.”

“Why would you throw your life away over something as silly as an insult?” She shook her head and shrugged. “Its your life, ‘Scales’. If you strive to be like the namesake you’ve chosen… you’ll die meaninglessly in the same way he died. Without honor or any sort of legacy.”

“YOU HOLD YOUR TONGUE!” he shouted. “YOUR OFFENSIVE WORDS CEASE! WE NOW FIGHT!”

“Very well.” She preened, stepping into the grooved box cut into the ground. “I sense you have no siblings – it’s no great loss for you to die. You won’t be remembered if you die now, before I lead you and your Venomian cousins into battle against Lylat and, later, against the Kew… I’m sorry you choose to throw away your life.”

He screamed at the top of his lungs then charged her rather abruptly. She brought her paws forward and when he struck her extended palms, he was thrown backwards. Scales rolled over and over until a cloud of dust filled the cavernous dwelling.

“This is why your parents are all dead. They charged headlong into the Aparoid invaders and not a single one of them survived. In fact, your whole clan was thought to have been extinct. I’m surprised you even know who Scales is – he died while you were still crawling.”

The man got to his feet and sneered at her. “We’ve learned to read Cornerian since their resort colonies have begun littering the globe. By reading, I know of Scales. I don’t know what trickery you’ve used against me but you won’t hold out very long!”

She watched him, entertained by his tenacity. The sharpclaw lizard moved towards her again. He brought his fists together and swung his arms but she ducked his attack. Using her people’s ancient fighting technique, Dahn Daju (C4 – Reflections of Krystal), she struck her palm against his gut and threw him backwards. Then the little blue vixen reached out towards him. Using her advanced telekinetic abilities that she’d gained since losing her memories, Kursed pulled him back. He sailed through the air where she intercepted his form and flipped him over onto his back. Dust floated up around him on all sides.

“I’m pleased that your people can learn,” she said. “If you were civilized enough to understand technology better… well, let’s just say you would have a fair chance against me. Face to face, dear, you have no hopes of winning. I hope you’ve come to your senses. I’ll need your help in marching across Lylat. If you want to be a true hero of the people, change your name and fight for me.”

“You must apologize for your insults to a great leader!” He picked himself up and dusted himself off, ready to fight again. “Or you must kill me.”

“Are you sure you want to know death?” She blinked, having a flashback to a personal battle in her old universe. All she did to achieve victory was to envision the victim’s entrails then telepathically force that image into the attacker’s mind. She attempted to make it happen. Seconds later, the lizard dropped to his knees, clutching at his torso. He was in shock at what he saw, causing her to smile brightly. “Ready to admit defeat?”

“I… how did you…?” He lifted his head slowly. “So long as there is breath in my body, I will fight!” He launched himself upwards and rushed her.

((THIS IS THE LAST PART, I SWEAR!))

For now, she was content to play with him. The lithe vixen strafed to the left. As he dove by her in passing, she captured his tail in her paws. He stopped in mid flight and dropped to the ground. With what appeared to look like incredible ease, she pivoted, holding him by the tail. As she spun about, his body flailed about. Combining her telekinesis with her physical actions, she managed to fool the assembly into thinking she was stronger than imaginable. After the third time, she flung him into the wall.

Scales immediately got to his feet but abruptly staggered over his next step. He was dazed and suffering from an apparent head injury. His right eye turned inward in an unnatural way. In an almost humble-sounding tone the dinosaur murmured, “You’re an… impressive fighter… small fox girl. But we live by an omerta. You… you may be stronger than I’ve anticipated,” he trailed off, pronouncing the last word with a slur.

She folded her arms across her chest. “But?”

He stumbled again then closed his right eye. The world stopped spinning and he locked his singular gaze on her form. “But I am able to endure much more than your body can give or receive.” His head cleared and he shook off the pain, ready to go again. “No matter the outcome of this fight, you won’t be able to kill me outright because such a feat is beyond your strength. Once I’ve worn you down and killed you, I will honor your fighting skills by putting you on display out in front of this cave.”

“If you end my life, I’ll let you do whatever you desire to my body. If killed, I won’t need it any longer. Is this your way of telling me you won’t submit to me?”

“We must fight to the death,” he replied. The sharpclaw lizard lifted his scaley hands again. “I’ll eat your entrails.” He paused then lowered his head, seeking that he was whole again. His eyes widened, realizing that what he’d seen earlier must have been a trick. “Your witchcraft will not work on me a second time.”

“You started off as a worthy opponent,” she mused, inspecting her white-painted claws. “But now you’re boring me.”

“Again, with the insults! I was showing you respect for your skills as a fighter and yet you MOCK me!” He charged at her again and opened his arms. He was ready to walk into any possible kick or punch in order to get his hands on her. His sole desire was to rip her into two halves and his mind radiated with anger.

Kursed crossed her wrists, paws extended. Once he was within range, she used her left wrist to push his jaw one direction and her right paw to turn his body in the other direction. The strike, using the stored inner chi, caused his neck to break instantly. She ducked down. His muscular frame, carried forward by momentum, flipped over her shoulder and landed on the ground motionless. She turned about and, like her doppelganger did back on Titania, Kursed spit on his dying body.

He couldn’t lift his head from the crack in his upper spine. “We are… re-growing our numbers,” he whispered from where he lay slumped on the ground. He was on his back but his legs were stuffed up beneath his horizontal form, causing his belly to bulge higher than his chest section. “We are now numerous and, until now, I’ve led in the reconstruction of our proud tribe.” He again tried to lift his head or any other part of his body. He was paralyzed from the neck down. He knew he’d been beaten. “You… are now the leader. Stand tall and do not lead my people to their death.” His voice grew softer with each word, unable to properly draw breath.

“It’s truly a shame you had to be so foolish about this,” she retorted. “I even offered you a position of rank. You’ve now amounted to your hero… General Scales. You’ll die penniless in combat against an inferior opponent without even getting the chance to make a difference.” She knelt besides him, waited for him to die, then she reached down his torso and withdrew a large knife. To the horror of the surrounding sharpclaw leaders, she removed his head.

Once it was cleanly separated, she tossed the knife to the ground and lifted his head up high by the spiky mane, careful not to get his blood on her clothing. “DO YOU ALL SEE THIS?” she asked in a demanding tone. “THIS…! THIS IS WEAKNESS! He was more powerful, taller, faster and able to endure far greater physical punishment! He SHOULD have had an ADVANTAGE over me! I defeated him in a matter of minutes! MINUTES!” She approached one of the lizards and shoved the bloody head into his arms, creating a sanguine splotch on his clothing. “Post his head on a stake… a large pole with a sharpened point at one end. Put it up for display outside. Carve the word ‘traitor’ into his forehead with your dagger.” She pointed to a knife on the man’s hip.

Kursed began pacing before them. “I’ve given him several chances to join me. I even re-extended my offer during combat. I showed mercy and he refused it. I showed clemency and he demanded a fight to the death! I do not have time for a duel to the end, so when I grew tired of his gloating I ended the fight right away. Tell your people that I will be shipping them to Venom. They will be schooled! They will learn proper military training! You will learn how to act civilized! You will take a bath more than twice a month! You will learn patience, dignity and how to strategically overcome a greater opponent. It’s possible; you’ve just witnessed me calmly strike down your leader in battle! I have faith that you will become known as a race of fierce fighters! I will make you great, like me, and you’ll become the fiercest warriors in Lylat!”

The man with Scales’ head looked up at her. “What shall we call you and what are your wishes?”

“My name is Kursed but you may call me by my title! I am your new Empress. I wish for you to tell everyone of me. I wish for them to fear me but I want them to respect me. I’ll begin shipping your people at dawn. Be ready.” She stepped over the dead body and headed across the cavern with her paws folded behind her back. “Remember to tell them that I am from a world known as Cerinia. I am not Cornerian. Corneria is my enemy and, when the time is right, they will be your enemy as well.” She left the small dwelling and stepped out into the sunlight to relax. Lylat was setting and Solar was in the west, casting a long shadow.

Her paw moved to her pocket and withdrew her communicator. She thumbed in several keys on the front and waited. Dash Bowman’s visual appeared on the small screen. “Send your forces. Be here in ten hours. I’ve told them to be ready at sunup. Bring me another ship – I’ll not be joining you right away because I have a few errands.”

Bowman appeared confused. “What errands could you possibly have on Sauria? Are you going to remove the indigenous spellstones from the force point temples? I thought we agreed not to destroy any planets in this Lylat.”

“I have no desire to break the planet into pieces,” she replied. “There is an ancient Krazoan machine that I wish to research. If it is here, I’ll have you send an excavation party to help me retrieve it… however, there’s a possibility that it is built into the planet. If this is the case, Venom will have to set up a base on this planet to protect it. I’ll let you know one way or the other. Finally, I believe Marcus McCloud is still alive.”

“WHAT! You assured me your assassin did his job! You said you couldn’t sense him anymore!”

“Kyong Adler failed me worse than I initially realized.” Kursed licked her lips, lifting her eyes to the sky. “Dash, I sensed him. He emitted a powerful emotion. The psychic burst was brief and, most likely, he did not intentionally discharge this raw passionate sentiment but… I felt him. Something has happened that caused him to feel true love for the first time. It was something powerful. I sensed it and I recognized his mind… It even helped me regain some of my memories, although nothing more than a few flashbacks of the old universe.” She paused then lowered her gaze back to the communicator with a smile. “I was quite the warlord in my past. I had no idea I was capable of such control over an entire system. Now that I’ve seen what I can do, I’m confident I can reproduce similar results.”

Dash asked, “How did you gain the Sharpclaw clan’s trust?”

“I brutally destroyed their leader in physical combat. It was the only way to win their respect. I tried diplomacy first but he grew offended; my options dwindled to aggressive negotiations. I am now their leader.” She closed the communicator.

Okay, so... After it wouldn't let me post the end for quite some time, I tried reading over the site help section... and realized something... I cannot post links to the rest of the story here. Sorry. If you were interested in reading it, you can click elsewhere. I'll make a thread for it in the fanfiction setion, linked at the bottom. ALSO, I removed the short 'n sweet section of Fara and Marcus deciding to go to the next 'level' of their relationship because it's against forum policy. As you could see if you read this far... their decision to make love caused Marcus to fall more deeply in love and that caused Kursed to sense he was still alive after all, gasp!

If you enjoyed it, cool. IF you have critique... awesome, lay it on me! If you hate it, that's fine. I understand. I'm curious as to why and what you'd have done differently. Anyhow, I'll hush now, I've gone on long enough, right?

http://forums.starfox-online.net/index.php?topic=5440.new#new Here's the thread where I posted all the stories, if you are, indeed, interested in giving them a glance-over. If so, COOL! If not, well... that's fine too! lol

SO... any critique? I love critique (especially flamers. GOD I love flamers! They're the BEST form of promotion sometimes, I swear. LOL. Nothing says AWESOME like a good HATER post!)

(Btw before I start, the fire bolts at Dragon Rock are from Fox's staff) Yeah but Krystal was never shown to have any weapon of some sort after she lost her staff. Cloudrunners are shown to breath fire in the game at one point, so that's the most logical conclusion.

In actually though if Rare and Nintendo had more time to make the game, that whole section would have most likely been cut. The only reason is remained was because Krystal never lost her staff in the original DP, however the plot of Adventures required that she loose the staff so that Fox could find it. Ironically thinking about that now, it seems like Rare would have had an excuse to give Krystal more playtime if she hadn't lost the staff, and Fox could have went ahead and used a blaster during the whole mission. This may have have been part of the original plot since some of the beta trailers for Adventures show Fox using a blaster.

And errr not sure but shouldn't you have posted that in the Fan-fic section?

December 30, 2009

The whole story is under the fanfiction section.

An enormous section of this chapter revolves around what this thread was all about... the tie-in of the krazoa with modern lylat, cerinia and kew.

I posted it so that I could discuss theb history of the Krazoa people and if people thinks it's a feasible tie-in to franchise history... basically, is it believable?

If not, why? Then again, since you didn't read it, and since I'm starting to realize people probably WON'T read it, I guess it's all moot and the thread was a waste of everyone's time to begin with, LMAO.

Yeah I didn't read it. But not because I didn't think it was going to be bad or anything mainly because I just don't have the time. XD

December 30, 2009

LOL most won't, now that I think about it.

Basically, the short and narrow is... Kursed uses Andross' old research to hatch a plan. She claims that the Krazoans were the first sentient life forms in Lylat. She explains to Wolf O'Donnell's daughter that the Krazoa polluted their planet and even fractured it... and while bringing it back together with the force point temples and the spellstone technology, they also built a machine down inside the planet that used the core as a battery... they fired it up into the sky and... wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Since they screwed up their planet, they wanted to colonize others so they could get off of Sauria. Keep in mind, this is a million years in the past.

Anyhow, they used a telekinetic amp to pull debris together all around Lylat. Once there were several planets made, they used their other machine to terra-form each world, so that every single one of them had an atmosphere, etc. They also turned one planet (Solar) into a second star to keep all the worlds warm.

Now Wolf O'Donnell's daughter is questioning her religion and if the 'creator' exists, which is what Kursed wants to do.. demoralize her. ANYHOW, she claims the Krazoans also colonized Kew and Cerinia, but a million years of evolution caused the races to all become VERY different.

She wants to use the machine inside of Sauria to terra-form Corneria and Katina and rename them Cerinia and Meredith, then she wants to take the DNA of Marcus (or his son, since she thinks Marcus is dead until the end of the chapter) and clone a race of Cerinian males (after genetically altering his DNA to remove Cornerian markers). She wants to then clone herself (after doing a little modifying, using Andross' research so that the blood will not allow for inbreeding flaws to occur) and she'll create a NEW Cerinian colony at the center of Lylat.

Bliss O'Donnell is like, "You want to wipe out 20 billion people on those two combined planets? That only leaves 5 billion TOTAL survivors on all the OTHER planets COMBINED. You'd be wiping out EIGHTY PERCENT of Lylat's population!"

And Kursed is all, "SO WHAT?"

Meanwhile, Fox and Krystal (the Krystal that is indigenous to this universe, Fox's wife and the mother of Marcus) are already ON Sauria and discover that there is more to the planet and it's extinct race than they original thought... Because Fox recently acquired Kursed's datacenter which had tons of old research from Andross... and the two spouses come to realize that crap is going down, plus they spot Kursed's ship from a clearing at the top of a temple in the jungle.

Finally, Kursed approaches the remnants of the Sharpclaw tribe thought to have been wiped out by the Aparoids. Any of them that were children at the time of the aparoid invasion would not have fought... and they spawned. The tribe's numbers are up... and Kursed wants their help in pulling together so she attacks the leader, kills him and orders the entire tribe to be relocated to Venom to increase the lizard army's total size. She'll have them help her to excavate the terra-forming machine beneath Sauria's surface. She also learns that Marcus is still alive and decides he's a better less-polluted candidate for taking a blood sample so that she can renew the Cerinian line.

STUFF.

And in the end, all I wanted to know is... would people think it's feasible to consider the Krazoa this awesome during their life time? It's a pretty heavy subplot device.

December 30, 2009

That's honestly a little far even for Kursed. Remaking Cerinians maybe not but Killing most of the population to do it Defintly not KUrsed she may be a bounty hunter but she is still KRystal just in a diffrent form if you will ,but hey that's my opinion.

No, I agree with you. But in this story, which developed over several books, this Krystal comes from a parallel dimension where a telepath hunter ruined her mind with mental torture but she escaped before he could kill her. She suffered until Marcus took her down. She died in his arms, asking for redemption but Dash Bowman brought her back to life with a half plastic brain and programmed her for evil. I have a redeeming end planned for her, though.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you could halfway see the plot, though, with her trying to restart the Cerinian race.

January 1, 2010

Back on the original subject, has anyone ever considered Venom to have a connection with Sauria and Cerinia? We know that Venom (despite the modern name that describes its state) had 'ancient' inhabitants long before Andross polluted it. Based on the fact of having ancient inhabitants, I think Sauria, Cerinia, and Venom all had similar beginnings, if not completely connected.

We can see in SF64 the ancient temples of Venom (I believe Venom's surface is mostly rock formations now, if I remember right, that's what it looked like in Super Smash Bros. Melee), so it's a planet that's seen better days (it might not be too dissimilar from Mars in our own solar system).

Andross obviously engineered ancient stone structures into machines, but he probably didn't invent the architecture himself. In addition, according the the SF64 guidebook, Venom has a lot of underground tunnels that are difficult to map because they are under rock - Andross' lair could have been constructed out of an existing tunnel, also, the tunnels that enemies fly out of were probably already there too before Andross added his machinery to them.

Who is to say all those tentacles weren't some sort of genetically designed flesh-to-flesh-made breathing apparatus because they'd polluted their world beyond ruin and had to flee... (And a million years later, the planet's ecosystem healed iteself) Then, after then ran, they settled on Cerinia in the next sector over?

What if the Krazoa's origin planet is Venom? We know that Venom is the 'first planet of the Lylat System', if not, it's certainly one of the oldest (like I said, it's just a remnant of a planet). The stone structures on Venom are not all that dissimilar from the Krazoa Palace.

If Cerinia was an ancient, yet technologically advanced planet, it would make sense that Andross would try to take it over. As to why it was destroyed: Sauria was falling apart because of the misplacement of the Spell Stones, could the same thing have happened to Cerinia? The Krazoa built the Spell Stones, and are said to "give life" to the planet. Perhaps, if they left Cerinia, its 'Spell Stones' quit working (due to the absence of the Krazoa, possibly because they noticed Andross' interference), and the planet 'died' (like Venom). Maybe the reason Venom is dead is because it lost its source of life a long long time ago (perhaps, that source might have even been the Krazoa themselves).

Andross might have made a mistake on Cerinia, perhaps he attempted to suck the life out of the planet, was 'caught' and stopped, but still destroyed the planet (like what he almost did to Sauria). So, in his attempt to steal the life from the Krazoa, he engineered a scheme for Sauria that involved masking his operations with General Scales. In result, he successfully retrieved the Krazoa Spirits and revived himself - Star Fox still beat him though

Krystal might have already seen Andross before. When he knocked her into the energy beam in Krazoa Palace, she screamed "It's You!", as if she had seen him before... possibly on her home planet? At the end of the game, she talks back to him like she's tried to stop him before. Maybe Andross needed to capture Krystal in order to channel the Krazoa's energy because she was from Cerinia (which, I'm hypothesizing might have been a very similar planet).

Perhaps, Sauria is the last surviving planet of its type (a series of "ancient" planets and races).

Well, it all makes sense in my mind I kind of used this theory in the advanced chapters of my Fan Fiction. I have yet to publish those chapters (I may never publish them), but this theory seems to agree with the canon evidence we have (though, we have so little, just about anything could have happened).

What do you think? Could Sauria, Cerinia, and Venom all be connected by an ancient race?

Solid argument that Cerinia, Sauria and Lylat are related. Opinions wanted!
