Narration(Fox's POV):
The names Fox. Fox McCloud. I was once the leader of Star Fox, an elite fighter squadron founded by my father James McCloud. Several years ago, he was hired by General Pepper of the Cornerian army to investigate strange activity on the planet known as Venom which once served as a base of operations for a crazed scientist named Andross. My father along with his most trusted friend and wingman Peppy Hare and Pigma Dengar, an honorless slimeball who supposedly volunteered for the mission. But upon arrival, Pigma revealed that he was working for Andross the entire time and led them into a trap. In the chaos that followed, my father created a diversion in order for Peppy to make his escape, but he lost his life in the process. Making it home with a heavy heart, Peppy reported the last courageous actions of my father. At the same time, he delivered the news that Andross had amassed a massive army and intended to conquer the entire Lylat system. And thus began the Lylat war.
The war between the Cornerian army and Andross's forces raged on with no end in sight. After I learned about my father's death at Andross's hand, I became angry that I dropped out of the Cornerian academy and brought his team out of retirement. Equipped with the latest equipment and technology, I began to recruit the best pilots that I knew that I could trust and rely on. First up was Slippy Toad, a gifted mechanic and friend from my academy days. Next up was Falco Lombardi, a hot shot ace pilot who's always had my back through every battle. And finally, Peppy Hare, my father's old wingman and the glue that held the team together. Together, we saved many planets and lives from Andross's forces, defeated many of his forces and a rival mercenary team called Star Wolf thus making us a force to be reckoned with. And finally, it all came down to me and Andross in the final battle. After a tough battle with the maniac, I prevailed and with the defeat of Andross, the Lylat war ended, rebuilding began and I even restored the Star Fox name to it's former glory. But this was just the beginning.
After the war, my team and I were contracted by General Pepper to save an ancient planet called Sauria inhabited by dinosaurs. Apparently the planet was breaking apart because of General Scales, the leader of the Sharpclaw tribe. Upon arrival, I began my mission by saving the young prince by the name of Tricky from the Sharpclaw. With his help, Tricky and I searched and retrieved four powerful artifacts called Spellstones while saving the many tribes of the planet. Along the way, I was also tasked with retrieving six krazoa spirits and return them to Krazoa palace. It was then I saw her. A beautiful young vixen named Krystal. She was trapped inside a crystal prism after she herself retrieved a krazoa spirit. It was like looking at an angel and I knew I needed to free her. After retrieving the spirits, I freed her and it was at that moment she and I saw each other for the very first time. But our moment was cut short when the Krazoa statue head took off for space. I chased after it and it was then I discovered that Andross was alive and the mastermind behind General Scales. With help from my wingman Falco who left the team for some time, we defeated Andross once again and Sauria was returned to its formal glory. In the end, my team got paid by General Pepper and we even gained a new pilot when Krystal arrived onboard the Great Fox to thank me personally.
After saving Sauria, my team and I were caught in a new war against a species called Aparoids. With help from the Cornerian army and our enemy Star Wolf, we defeated the Aparoids and destroyed their home world. But as time grew on, I became more concerned about her safety so I had to do what was right and push her off the team. But unfortunately, the Anglar empire attacked and my team and I didn't stand a chance. In order to defeat them, we needed to join forces with Star Wolf and it was then I learned that Krystal was not only a member but she was in a new relationship with Panther. I was completely devastated but I needed to stay focused on the task at hand. We defeated the Anglar empire, but the victory was bittersweet because Krystal remained with Star Wolf, After that, I couldn't be able to lead my team again so I had no choice but to disband the team. From what I heard, Slippy and Amanda were on Aquas and Falco was still around but we lost touch after some time. As for me, I returned to Corneria and fell into a deep despair. As the days turned into months, I continued to sit in my despair and eventually gave up hope of finding love again. But all that changed on this one fateful night.
