Two hours before the beginning of Starfox Adventures…..
It was a stormy night on planet Sauria. Amid the darkness, rain, and lightning, there was a dark shape moving towards the ground, held up by rocket boosters. It was a Cerinian Shuttle. Landing near a large castle-like ruin, the shuttle landed, and the ramp opened. Out from the shuttle stepped two humanoid foxes. One was a male fox in a green tunic and black tights. Strapped to his back was a golden, single-edged sword. His fur was brown, with several darker markings. His name was Sabre. Stepping out behind him was a blue furred female vixen. She wore a golden bra-like top and a yellow loincloth, along with a pair of golden sandals. Around her neck was a green emerald necklace with a golden frame that Sabre had given her. In her left hand was a long spear-shaped staff. This was Sabre's foster sister, Krystal. Krystal and Sabre were the only survivors of the doomed planet of Cerinia. They had come to Sauria to answer a distress call, hoping it would bring them closer to solving the mysteries of their home world's destruction.
"You alright, my dear?" Sabre asked Krystal. She nodded before replying "we need to be ready for anything." For the next five minutes, Sabre and Krystal trekked towards the horizon, seeing by light of the occasional lightning strike. As the two approached a cliff, a Pterodactyl-like creature swooped down from the cliff above. A CloudRunner. "Hello, offworlders, My name is Kite." the CloudRunner said. Sabre and Krystal both bowed before Kite and Krystal asked "We were answering a distress call, do you know where it came from. Kite's smile could be seen, even in the darkness of the night. "Krazoa Palace." Kite answered.
The three were startled as a loud screech rang out and a large, yellow bipedal dinosaur leaped down from the cliff. It was clad in armor and held a spiked mace. Sabre whipped out his sword. "FLEE, MY DEAR!" Sabre shouted to Krystal, who promptly leapt onto Kite's back andslapped his shoulder blades. Kite flapped his wings and took flight hurriedly towards Krazoa Palace.
The SharpClaw brought his mace above his head and swung down. Sabre suddenly rolled out of the way as the mace struck the ground. The Sharpclaw lifted it up and swung sideways, but Sabre dodged again. Sabre waited for the moment to attack. The SharpClaw suddenly threw a dagger and it hit Sabre's chest but it did not kill him. Instead a huge pain went through his body as he fell to his knees. He realized he had been pierced by a poisonous dagger. He turned over and over, then saw The SharpClaw looming over him, swinging his mace. The last thing Sabre saw before darkness was one of the mace's spikes in his face.
Krystal looked back from Kite's back to the spot where the fight had broken out. Tears welled up in her eyes and dripped down her cheeks as she sadly whispered "Sabre." Krystal turned back around, closing the fingers of her right hand around her emerald necklace….
