Author's note: the story takes place between Star Fox Assault and Star Fox Command. The Star Fox franchise belongs to Nintendo, not me. No profit is being made in any way, shape, or form whatsoever. If you think otherwise, you're creepy. With all that said, let's start with the story.
Several years have passed since Star Fox had taken down the Aparoids and stopped the invasion. As Fox's relationship with Krystal grew stronger, they both decided to live together in Corneria. The two foxes have been living together for almost half a year, and their bond couldn't seem to have weakened for the least bit.
One fateful night, Fox planned a surprise for his beloved Cerinian vixen. He has made a romantic dinner for Krystal, and he hadn't spared any means: he cooked everything his fiancée loved, from juicy beef entrecotes to sweet strawberry cheesecakes. However, it seems Mr. McCloud planned something even more special under his sleeve, as evidenced by his confident smile. Everything was ready for Fox McCloud's big surprise, all remains is Krystal's arrival. Fox couldn't have felt any better.
A sound of keys was soon heard from behind the door, and Krystal came in. She was very surprised to see all the food her fiancé has made for her, in addition to colorful candles standing tall.
"Hello Krystal", Fox greeted his beloved vixen and kissed her. "How was your day today? I've been waiting for your arrival as you can see".
"Well Fox, I must say I am indeed quite surprised", Krystal chuckled and blushed. "Have you really organized all this for me?"
"Positive, made with my bare hands", Fox responded. "Do you like what you see?"
"Well, I do like it, but..." Krystal hesitated. She then let out a sad sigh. "Look Fox, you and I need to talk".
Fox's confident and content mood automatically turned into confusion and pessimism. Out of all cases to hear these very words from your girlfriend in this exact order, this case has probably got one of the worst timings to hear this.
"Listen Fox, it's not you, it's me".
Case gone from bad to worse. This is the very sentence with the greatest potential of adding more fuel into the fire. The last thing you want to hear because you can foretell the results from it. One can assume it's nothing but a pathetic excuse to tell the exact opposite. You begin to think what you've been doing wrong this whole time because you see things differently from your partner. Fox's case was no different, but he couldn't get any words out of his mouth.
"Holy shit this so embarrassing..." Krystal sighed. "Fox, I'm breaking up with you in favor of having a relationship with Katt".
Despite hearing the exact statement he feared the most, Fox could not change his shocked facial expression. He realized all his hard work was laid to waste. A deadly mixture of negative feelings has begun filling Fox's mind, replacing his confusion.
"Katt invited me to her place several weeks ago, and we were having a little conversation which just snowballed to some crazy shit, and I... how to say it? Rediscovered myself?"
Treason. Perhaps the most inexcusable, pathetic, and disgusting reason to end a relationship. A special bond, which was supposed to be stronger than anything imaginable, annihilated without any warning because of something as dirty as treason.
"I'm deeply sorry, with every fiber in my heart, you had to hear it now. I know it's a very awful timing. But I still very appreciate everything you've done for me".
And here come the pathetic excuses for the sole purpose of adding even more fuel into the fire. A sad attempt to show compassion despite knowing it won't help a shit. The exact equivalent of spitting in one's face and berating them in the public. And yet Fox didn't budge.
"Fox? Are you alright?" Krystal asked hesitantly, and she then looked into his widened eyes, noticing his left eyelid was moving uncontrollably.
Tics. The exact sign indicating Fox is about to enter an emotional breakdown, and rightly. Wasting hours and hours on making a romantic dinner for his supposed girlfriend only to find out she has been living a double life, cheating on him, let alone with another woman. How can he be alright? What kind of inappropriate question is this?
"Krystal my dear, there are many things I can accept. I accept us living together in the streets, I accept us losing all of our possessions, and I will even agree to leave the Star Fox team if that's what you wish", Fox said. Krystal knew this was the time to panic due to Fox talking to her in such a disturbing manner. She knew by his tone that he was building up his fury.
"BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING I WON'T ACCEPT, IT'S BEING A SECOND OPTION!" Fox roared.
Krystal gasped and took several steps backwards. "Fox, it's not like that! Please calm down!" she pleaded.
"Calm down!? CALM DOWN!? Some nerve you have saying that to me! How can I possibly calm down after finding out my supposed girlfriend had been selling herself for another woman for Hades' sake!?" the raging Fox screamed. "I rip my ass off for a shit long time to organize this fucking dinner just for you, and THIS IS WHAT I GET IN RETURN!?"
"I know you're angry Fox, but please just let me explain!" Krystal begged.
"Do you think this is a game!? Because all you've done is toy with my feelings like... some child's play thing!" Fox shouted in disgust. "So save your breath, I will not hear!"
"Fox, please stop this! I hate seeing you like this!" Krystal cried.
"You couldn't hate enough to love, is that supposed to be enough!? And don't tell me you want to stay friends with me, because I only wish you weren't my friend! Then I could hurt you in the end, just like what you're doing to me right now!" Fox responded. His eyes started shedding tears as well.
"Cease this nonsense talk, Fox! You're acting like you have Asperger Syndrome!" Krystal replied.
"I DO HAVE ASPERGER! I WAS BORN LIKE THIS!" Fox screamed in tears. "You never needed any help, you sold me out to save yourself!"
"Fox, I..." Krystal stuttered. "I'm so sorry you're feeling like this, but I can't control my attractions, you've got to understand me!" she sobbed.
"Excuses, excuses! All these years I've done everything I could to make you happy, to make our relationship meaningful", Fox sniffed and wiped his tears away. "I work my ass off to make you a romantic dinner, and all I get in return is a spit in the face!" he shouted while approaching the table. "But at least you're sorry, like that's gonna help a shit! You don't deserve this, Krystal! YOU DON'T FUCKING DESERVE THIS! YOU'RE ALL THE FUCKING SAME!" he screamed while dropping everything on the floor, breaking all the dishes and glasses in the process.
"FOX! STOP THIS PLEASE!" Krystal cried while trying to stop the enraged vulpine, but no avail. "Breaking stuff will not solve anything!"
"SHUT UP! I don't want to hear you anymore! Sneaking out and fucking whores behind my back won't solve anything either, so don't talk to me about solving anything!" Fox responded in tears, and then he took out a small box. He opened it, revealing a ring. This made Krystal gasp in extreme shock.
"THIS is what I was planning! But if you don't take our relationship seriously and don't appreciate anything of all the shit I've done for you, then you're not worthy of receiving this!" Fox shouted and tossed the box away.
Krystal didn't know what to say or how to react. She started sobbing and crying faintly while looking down on the floor, trying to stop her tears from dropping out of her eyes with no success.
"Ashamed, huh? You should be!" Fox scolded. "Just get outta here! Go on, your choice is made! I don't wanna see your face here anymore! Stay the fuck away from me, and if you still care don't ever let me know!"
Krystal ran out of the house, crying out loud. While outside, she still remained very close to Fox's house, so she was able to hear the enraged vulpine breaking stuff while crying and screaming obscenities.
"YOU BITCH! YOU FUCKING RUINED MY LIFE! I FUCKING HATE YOU! I WISH YOU WERE DEAD! PIECE OF SHIT!"
'Oh fuck, what have I done?' Krystal thought to herself while crying. 'Fox is right. I'm a terrible fiancée. I never should've started this crap if I had known this would happen. You've really proven yourself now, Krystal. Congratulations'.
Krystal's phone then started ringing. The screen indicated the call was coming from Katt Monroe. Krystal answered the phone.
"Hey Krystal, what's up? How did Fox take it?" Katt asked.
"Oh, you'd love to know", Krystal muttered. "Will this be a sufficient answer!?" she asked and aimed the phone at Fox's house so Katt would hear the crying vulpine screaming and shattering everything in his path.
"MY LIFE CAN'T GET ANY WORSE!" he screamed from the top of his lungs. "CHEATING WHORE! I WISH I'D NEVER MET YOU!"
"Damn it to hell, what the fuck is wrong with him!?" Katt asked.
"Don't say a word, Katt. I deserve all these obscenities. I deserve to absorb every bit of his fury", Krystal replied.
"C'mon babe, don't be so hard on yourself", Katt responded. "Come over to my home and I'll cheer you up".
"You don't understand, he... he-" Krystal couldn't complete the sentence. She didn't know whether or not to tell Katt about the ring. She felt too stressed and nervous to say anything about the issue.
"He what? Answer me, Krystal!" Katt responded.
"He... never mind, forget it. I'm heading to your house", Krystal said.
"'Kay honey, see you there, mwah", Katt said and ended the conversation.
Krystal started walking away from Fox's house. She stopped to take one last look backwards, and she sighed while shedding another tear.
"Oh Fox..." she murmured faintly. "I'm so sorry, Fox. Truly I am".
