The Catastrophe of War

Prologue

Krystal looked upwards and watched the strange air fighter vanish into the vortex in the sky, her staff smoking at its tip. She couldn't believe the powerful fire blasts from this staff didn't even make the smallest burn mark on the Krazoa head. She growled at her failure to stop the 'Krazoa God' then shortened the staff and hooked it on her back.

After it was firmly on her back, the vixen wiped off the water on her bangs for a better view of the fighter vanishing in the stormy sky. The pilot of the air fighter, another vulpine, saved her just a few minutes ago. Krystal had seen him now and then when she was trapped in the crystal prison, gazing up at her, but unfortunately, when she was in her prison, Krystal could not hear what the vulpine was thinking. Even now, she could not listen to what the fox was thinking, as a powerful being was blocking her telepathic powers. She thought what would happen if he didn't stop the 'Krazoa God'...

She snapped herself out of her thoughts; the vulpine can and will defeat the floating entity...but if the vulpine would need a hand, she could be there to lend one. Krystal redirected her vision to the roof of the palace and looked around. The heavy rain and thunder was starting to end as she scanned the roof of the palace so she could see the roof more clearly than before. She spotted a hole in the floor and she walked off of the platform and jogged over to to the hole. It seemed that something in this hole was sucking air and raindrops down into the interior of the palace.

Before Krystal jumped into the hole, she looked backwards, towards where she was held captive for a week. Broken metal and shards of crystal littered the area. She sighed, glad that she was free and jumped into the hole. Krystal gasped as she fell 25 feet onto an air ventilation system; it was sucking air downwards, which made the vixen fall twice as fast, and she dropped to one knee with a grunt due to the force of her landing.

Krystal raised her head and looked in front of her. The interior of the palace was shining with a bright glow because of the sun light pouring into the palace from the hole in the middle of the ceiling. The vixen's eyes adjusted to the light and widened in surprise. In the middle of a huge cylinder like area in the middle of the room, on top of another fan, sat a ship.

'Hmmm...' thought Krystal, 'This ship looks just like the one I saw taking the Earthwalker prince the first day I was here...maybe I can borrow it for a while...'

She got back onto both legs and ran over to the direction of the ship. However, as she came up to the edge of the walkway warping around the cylinder room, she noticed a gap between her and the fan.

'Crap...' the vixen thought as she skidded to a halt, almost falling over the edge to a 200 plus foot drop.

She looked around quickly. 'I need to find something to aid me to reach that ship. There is no way I am able to jump over there!' She peered over the edge of the walkway and looked down at the drop in front of her; she jumped back a second later.

'Yeah...there is no way I would jump that. I would get hurt pretty badly if I couldn't reach that fan...'

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a faint sparkle of light. Krystal turned her head and smiled with relief when she saw a staff boost pad on the ground. She walked over to it and put her staff into the hole in the middle of the pad. Her staff started to vibrate and it shot a large amount of energy, making it fly upwards, Krystal holding on tight. But, there was not enough angle to the pad so she just shot straight up. She did her best to maneuver herself over to the fan but it was no use; Krystal plummeted back to the tiled floor.

As she landed, with yet another grunt, she thought what she could do to get over to the fan. She walked over to the pad again. Krystal looked down at it and over to a pillar a few yards away. There was a few feet of tile in front of it... Then it came to her. She stuck the end of the staff under the pad and pushed down on the staff. The pad popped up, and the vixen grabbed it. She walked over to the pillar and leaned the pad against the pillar. Once again, she stuck her staff in the hole and fired the boost. It worked like a charm. With the angle of the pad, she was able to fly over to the fan in an arc. As Krystal landed on the fan, she noticed that it was off and wondered why, but demised the thought. She walked over to the ship and got in it.

'Ugh...' It smelled like Sharpclaw.

Krystal noticed there was only one room in the ship, so it was easy for her to find the flight controls. She quickly spotted them and walked over to the controls then turned on the ignition. The engines purred and the ship floated a few feet off the fan. The vixen pointed the ship towards the hole in the ceiling and fired the engines. The Sharpclaw ship shot straight up; so fast in fact, the vixen gasped because she almost crashed into the ceiling of the palace, as her aim on the hole was a bit off. As a startled Krystal got outside,she had to maneuver it around the cage-like structure on top of the palace to get a clear view of the clearing sky. She fired the boosters and went out to space. As she flew past Cloudrunners, who shrieked in surprise and quickly moved out of Krystal's way, clouds and the clear sky above the clouds, she prayed that the battle with the vulpine and the 'Krazoa God' was going well.

As she got into the blackness of space, she noticed that the 'Krazoa God' was Andross. A flash of anger went through her body. It was Andross that pushed her into that crystal prison in the first place. It was Andross that assisted in the destruction of Krystal's home planet. Even since, she wanted revenge on that monkey. But as she looked up at the huge head she got scared for a split second, making her body unable to move toward the fight.

While she was struggling with the decision to fight or not, Krystal noticed that the monkey head exploded and two ships flew away from the explosion and saw that the planet was coming back together. She smiled at the fact that peace was going to return to the planet and noticed that one of the two fighters, as she identified as 'Arwings', was flying back towards a command ship, with the words 'Star Fox' painted on its hull with a red logo that showed a fox and what seemed to be another tail coming out of it's spine. The other Arwing was floating in place for a minute or two while the planet came back together, then, after that, it flew back to the planet. Krystal sensed it was the vulpine. She smirked and flew over to the Star Fox ship, thinking when the vulpine got back, she would surprise him and say "thank you".
