(A/N: I guess there isn't much to say at this point; considering I've said enough times that this was happening. I know I've said time and time before my personal opinion about Command but the idea of having Krystal as a bounty hunter is an interesting concept and of course if they ever do a game that revolves around that I would be interested in seeing it. But anyway, let's get this started and remember that I unfortunately do not own Star Fox or its characters. The song I'm going to be using here is "Metal Gear – Ground Zero.")

Prologue

*Two years have passed since the Anglar Blitz and the Lylat System again finds itself in an era of peace. The Star Fox team has separated and gone their separate ways but one member, due to her affiliations with Star Wolf, had been seen as a traitor by the Cornerian people and was forced to rid herself of her identity and begin a new, more deadly life under the name of Kursed.

Planet Kew, Lylat System

Kew was an isolated world lost in its own time. The inhabitants were all natives living in different tribes and for the most part it had no affiliations with anyone. But far off from any contact there was the suspicious presence of troops guarding what looked like a factory.

The factory bordered along a large forest that a small platoon guarded. Two of the soldiers, all wearing unfamiliar armor and helmets, were standing guard further in. "Man, I know this is supposed to be a peaceful planet but this place gives me the creeps," one of them commented.

"I know," the other replied. "It's too quiet out here and it feels like we're being watched." Little did they know something was watching them through a HUD, marking down their location.

There was the snap of a twig nearby which startled the one guard who grabbed his rifle. "What was that?" he asked.

"Calm down, it was probably just the wildlife," the other said, but he was slightly unnerved as well. He then heard a rustle above him and as he looked up he was instantly met with a boot that smashed through his helmet.

The first guard turned and the last thing he remembered seeing before blacking out was a figure wearing a fully masked helmet come at him and knocking him out with its bare fists.

Meanwhile, the other troops were on the border of the forest when they heard gunshots in the distance. "Something's wrong," the leader replied. "You two, go check it out." The two soldiers complied and went into the forest. A couple minutes passed before two more shots were fired and everything went silent. The rest of them grabbed their guns and stood quietly, waiting.

Soon a figure started coming out of the forest. By its look alone, the leader could tell it was not one of his. "Hold it right there!" he yelled. "Just who are you!?"

The figure didn't reply but casually took something from its belt and threw it straight at them. The leader's eyes widened. "FLASH-!" It was too late as the flashbang went off, blinding all them. The figure then pulled out a blaster and shot them all in the head without a pause. When they all fell dead, the figure holstered its gun and took off its helmet, revealing long dark hair. Her name had once been Krystal, but she had gotten rid of that name long ago. Now she was Kursed, an appropriate name for her life in general and now feared bounty hunter.

She saw the factory ahead and pulled off the sniper rifle she had been carrying. Getting into a prone position, she quickly scanned the area through her scope for any additional guards. Odd, there wasn't anyone, unless there was a change in the guard shift. She then noticed something in her peripheral. Someone else was here, nearby.

She looked in that direction and her heart almost stopped. The person she saw was no soldier. His face was a face that had been etched into her mind long ago, and had since been trying to get rid of. Fox McCloud; he was here on Kew.

Kursed swore under her breath. What was he doing here, of all places? He couldn't have possibly followed her here. Perhaps what she was investigating had now become a Cornerian matter as well. She continued to stare at him through her scope and a horrible idea came to her mind.

Why not end it now and get rid of him? She no longer had any feelings for him, after what he did. She was no longer the Krystal he knew. And she had a very tough principle: nothing by any means was allowed to get in her way and the mission. Her heart was racing now, pumping with adrenaline. She had to take the shot now.

She lined up her crosshairs at his head. If there was one decent thing she would do, it was not to let him suffer. She still had some morals. Her finger trembled as it grazed against the trigger. She tried to pull it back but it wouldn't respond. She took a deep breath and calmed down. "Sorry Fox," were her last words to him.

A loud gunshot suddenly rang throughout the forest.

Star Fox
Revengeance

(A/N: And there you have it folks, but this is just the beginning. Or rather, it will be the beginning. Just to let you guys know this has no relation to any of my other Star Fox stories. I hope this was enough to whet your appetite and stick around for more if your interested. And just to send you guys off, the song I'd like to use for this is "Powerless" from Linkin Park. Until then guys, I'll see you all later.)
