Disclaimer: I do not own Krystal or anyone and anything else that belongs to some big company. The plot, villain, and many other things or characters do belong to me however.

Author's Note: It feels so good to be back in action. The sequel to my first novel is finally here. Remember, constructive criticism is welcome, flaming me for having Krystal with a human is not. I'm going to do the best I can to bring you an epic adventure that you will never forget. This story will also be roller coaster of emotion. What I have to say is don't jump to conclusions. I've decided to take the saying "darkest before dawn" to heart with this one. Also, I'm having trouble trying to decide on what to do near the end. If you guys manage to break 197 reviews by the time the chapter count reaches 27, I will choose add in a certain event that will trigger something special for all of you at the end. As a side note, I'm actually getting better at my proof reading so I've decided to not have a beta reader this time around. This will help train me to spot my mistakes better. There will be grammatical errors but less since what I've learned from English professor. Be sure to tell me my mistakes though, especially any major errors that would seriously disrupt the story's flow. this story will also be told in three arcs. When an arc ends, I'll take a break for a week or two and then start back up again.

Important: I would like to ask if anyone with artistic talent would please make some so I can put a nice little video together.

Full Summary: A decade has past since Krystal first arrived to Earth through an archaeological present given to Light by his uncle Allistor, and a copy of 'Starfox Adventures' loaned to him by a friend.

Fox arrives just in time to help them but how will his presence affect Krystal and Light's marriage? Nat, Alex, and Chris are back to keep things interesting and show the bright side of things... even in the face of a terrible tragedy.

To Everyone: I hope you all enjoy the prologue... and try not to tear up. The theme song for the first arc is katethegreat19's "Your Not Alone." Just go to youtube and search it up. As the story goes on, you'll understand why I chose this song. I hope you all enjoy. Remember to Read & Review.

Prologue

My name is Light Kindley. People who didn't know me thought of me as a smart, respectful guy… as well as a universal target. Those who did know me, knew that I had a miserable life. My existence seemed to have no meaning. I simply existed. I was miserable because my peers didn't accept me, and it showed.

My parents loved me; no doubt about that. My social life however was another story. I Knew I was the odd man out the moment I first stepped into a classroom. The area I lived in was notorious for producing one beautiful child after another. I was unlucky however. My father and mother were considered to be very handsome and very beautiful. I think something must have gone wrong with me, because I don't Know how they ended up with a below average son like me… compared to other kids that is.

I didn't know what it was, but my peers hated me.

I never provoked any of them to do the things they did to me. Before I ever made a single friend, my younger self was subjected to pain and torment. As a young child in elementary school, I was chased to a bridge by my entire class. They cruelly threw rocks at me as they gave chase. It was like some sick game of hatred to them. It was no game to me though. The pain I felt was real. No one deserves the isolation and hate I had to endure. In the midst of my living nightmare, some good did come my way.

I managed to make three awesome friends. Chris is an unpredictable but calm guy. He often said he would conquer the world in the future. You would normally laugh at anyone who made such a claim. Not him. He had this sadistic smile that would make you believe him.

Nat was unusual and that's putting it lightly. Sometimes it was impossible to tell whether he's teasing you or trying to toughen you up. He is a loyal friend though. I'd be lying if I said he wasn't good for a laugh. He is a little diabolical but he has a good heart.

Alex is the youngest of the four of us; with me being the oldest. He is our group's technical wizard; every little group has to have one. Although all four of us are tech junkies, he is probably the most adept when it comes to anything digital. Even though these three made going through middle school bearable, they couldn't do much for me in high school.

We all didn't have the same classes so I was still persecuted harshly. We would get a class or two together every so often. Normally, it would only be a couple of us together at a time. The school days were tough for me, especially when I didn't have my friends to back me up with their support. To offer a little more group comfort I suppose, we would get together before and after school to spend some time together.

Even with my friends and family backing me up, my heart was still full of pain, anguish, and rejection. I was still lonely. I longed for someone who could take away my sadness and give me something I always thought I would never be able to experience…, love. I wanted to have someone to hold and hold me in return. I needed that special someone that Mother always said would come my way. Mother probably didn't know what was happening in my life on the surface, but I knew that she could few my inner turmoil. That was probably the reason why she kept telling me about the special someone that 'would' come my way, to give me hope for the future. That was something I desperately prayed for every night in my lonesome tears, hope that my Mother was right. Contrary to what she may think, life did not always have a happy ending. I was probably one of those that was a 'happily never after' in my future.

It wasn't until my senior year when I finally got the ray of hope I had been praying for during those torturous years. My uncle gave me an ancient relic made in the days of Alexander the Great. I absentmindedly made a wish that night while wallowing in my despair. It was merely a stray vocalized thought that a cruel act against me that day provoked. The next morning… I met her. Krystal. It was an awkward moment to say the least. I ended up knocked out and tied to my bedpost with the sharp end of her staff pointed in my face. That aside, we quickly became friends. Her arrival led to the adventure of a lifetime. The problem was that while our goal was to get her back into her own universe, I fell in love with her. Part of it might have been because she was the first girl, albeit an inter-dimensional alien vulpine girl, to ever show me any type of kindness… at all. She didn't care about who I was on the outside, but on the inside. It wasn't just a crush either… my heart absolutely ached for something I couldn't have or thought I deserved.

She laughed with me.

She helped me.

She comforted me in my depression and then some.

She was the kind of girl I had always looked for, but never found among humanity.

When it was time say goodbye, it honestly felt like my spirit was breaking and dying. I didn't want to make her choose between me and saving her family, so I didn't give her the choice. When she was past the point of no return, or so I believed, I chose that moment to reveal how I truly felt about her because I wanted to at tell her what I felt in my heart. Then the stone door shut, eternally sealing her away from us. For the next few days I felt like a prisoner of my own despair. Death would have been a merciful release from the feelings and thoughts that had entrapped me.

I had lost all hope but hope found me again. Krystal returned. As hard to understand as it was, she was in love with me too and decided to return. This should not be confused with saying that she had given up on her world or the brother she never knew. She said that she would find another way, and I believed she would. Before I knew it, I was engaged to marry her. Soon too, in accordance with Cerinian law.

Concerning the wish at the Knossos ruins, it was a closely guarded secret to her when it came to what she wished for. I didn't have to wait more than a few months to find out what she wished for. A month after the wedding… I found out about something I had previously believed to be impossible. She was pregnant. My entire perception of reality as I knew it was changed in more ways than one.

What we didn't know was that our actions had consequences. Something was coming, something malevolent. It hated us. And it was going to change our lives… forever.

Author's Note: I hope that ties you all over until Christmas. That is when the real story begins. Remember to R&R, whether it's to give me some advise or to tell what your favorite of it was.
