*Note to ALL Readers: Before you start into this Fanfic please let me tell you that if you're afraid of so many chapters, don't worry.. Each chapter is short and I refer to them as pages or some people would call them passages. I'm not one for writing long chapters because eventually I burn out, my mind goes blank and I end up with something I'm not satisfied with. Next thing I'd like to point out is that yes this begins with alot of spelling errors and run on sentences etc..I apologize for that but this was my first time writing in any way and it has been an extreme learning experience along the way..I've cleaned up this chapter but I mainly am focusing on finishing this story before making sure everything's perfect.. If you have any suggestions message me or write a review and if you'd like to learn more about me read my bio on my profile page. Thanks everyone for reading this and I hope you enjoy it.*

Star Fox : Leader

Prologue: A Tale of the Past

"If i go down I'm taking you with me!" a voice all too common to Fox growled. Everything turned white and he just knew he was dead. Everything stayed white for a few moments until he could hear the person he had wanted to talk to the most in his life. The voice just said "Follow me, Fox." Then he could see that he wasn't dead,Yet, he never looked back. Everything was exploding and catching fire behind him. He could see the glow on the window inside the cockpit of his Arwing but he kept pushing to follow his father through the chaos.

Fox followed the figure he saw taking every turn he did, almost the same exact way going as fast as possible. He wanted to ask so many questions but he knew now was not the time. Finally he saw a light at the end of the tunnel and flew towards it trying to get out of the hell-hole he was in. As soon as he got to the exit it combusted in fire and he woke up with a loud yell, sweating and confused wanting to ask questions about why he kept reliving this moment.

He didn't notice that his new guest was worried about him, Krystal, the girl he just rescued a short 5 hours before he had passed out. He had hardly slept during the whole adventure when he was trying to rescue her on Sauria and whenever he did he either had this dream or was awakened by a hungry, and annoying, Tricky. Somehow seeing her face made it worth it to him.

She was drop-dead gorgeous to him. Blue fur, beautiful green eyes and the face not even an angel could beat. He was shy towards her and hardly said anything to her. Fox didn't even know much about her though he liked her in some way and it was more than her looks.

I. New Allies?

"Are you alright?" The vixen asked him as he was still trying to catch his breath and he just replied "Y-y-yeah i just had a bad dream is all."

"Is there anything I can get you, or do you want to talk about it?" She asked quickly feeling somewhat in his debt for all he went through to save her.

"It's not a big deal" He smiled "You probably wouldn't understand really anyways" Deep inside questions were just burning inside him so many questions he had unanswered he let out a sigh. Looking out the window out at the stars wondering if his Father was really dead or not.

"Well can we talk about it I'd like to help you in any way I could since you did so much to help me"

He let out a slight laugh and then winced when Krystal tried to touch his arm he was sore, everywhere. This whole adventure he had worked so long and hard with more physical challenges than he had ever had in his life. Once more a look into her eyes made him feel it was all worth it.

Fox started his story. "Well I lost my parents when i was young and.." He was interrupted before he could continue. Krystal told him that her parents were dead as well so she understood his pain there. She hugged him which made Fox wince again. "Sorry." She giggled slightly trying to lighten the mood. She felt sorry for him and wished that she could help him in any way possible.

"You remember that guy on the Krazoa statue?" He continued with a deep breath. She nodded and told him that he was the one who put her in that crystal prison she was held in. Fox continued on to tell her how he had killed his father and he didn't remember his mother at all. He didn't even know how he could let her know he thought his father might be alive without her thinking he was crazy.

Atleast at that time, he didn't know she was a telepath. She could read his mind the whole time and was using it for some information. Little did he know she was 'watching' his dream before he woke up.

"Did your dad wear sunglasses?" She asked. The fox jumped at the question due to he had never mentioned his father to her before this and never said anything about his appearance. "Yeah" He coughed quietly almost as if he were choking "But how did you know?"

She quickly responded answering "I saw a picture in the hallway of someone like you, except older, with sunglasses so i just figured."

He looked at her suspiciously but didn't really care about it. He was just intrigued that she had paid so much attention. Krystal let out a tear and cried "My mother died when my home planet was destroyed and my father died shortly before that" she said trying to hold back as many tears as possible. Fox just gently patted her back afraid to do anything more, but wanting to.

He listened to her story of why she was at Sauria she didn't mention the distress call or her telepathy. She just covered it up with telling him she was looking for the reason for her father's death. Fox was amazed to hear she practically raised herself most of her life, alone. He felt sorry for her and wanted to do more and more for her but he was too shy around her to do anything at that moment.

Things got quiet for a moment, Krystal eventually left Fox's room with a hug and a "Good Night" They both went back to sleep happy.
