1 year after the Apariod War

"Fox there's an enemy on your tail," the communicator inside the Arwing screeched. Fox looked back and saw a lone fighter who was shooting trying to damage one of his wings. Fox did a barrel roll to deflect the lasers. He followed it up by doing a somersault to get behind his adversary. Fox shot two times and watched the fighter crash into the ground.

"Thanks Falco," Fox said," They are making this too easy."

"I hear ya,"Falco said. The avian flew ahead, chasing after a group of enemies.

Fox smiled seeing his friend having a good time. Then the communicator beeped again "Hey, Fox, I want to talk to you about something", this time however the voice was feminine.

"What on your mind Krystal?" Fox asked. He always liked talking to the vixen; he couldn't believe that at one time he wanted her off the team.

"Well after this con-"she was cut off by a panicked voice.

"Guys, Guys, I could use some help here!''

"Don't worry Fox I'll get him, I'll talk to you some other time", Krystal said, "Where are you Slippy?" she asked as she flew away. Fox smiled after all these years not much has changed. His smile was wiped away when he looked at Corneria City. The city was war torn. The once pride of Corneria was now set aflame. Buildings were either on fire or reduced to a pile of rubble, the streets were littered with cars from the citizens that were unexpecting and going through their daily lives before the invasion happened. The state of the city reminded him of the Lylat Wars, a war brought on by the mad scientist Andross.

"How could we let this happen?" Fox said as he shook his head," I should have known." Fox didn't want to look at the city anymore and there were no fighters near his location, so just sat there in thought. During these times he thought about his father and his mother. He knew his father a little bit from when he was a kid (or kit), but at a very young age his father supposedly was killed by Andross. He had trouble believing this because sometimes he swore he seen his father. He thought they just visions, but they seemed so life like. His mother was somewhat of a mystery to him. She died before he could remember. Whenever he asked his father about her, his dad would get quiet and say maybe another time. Fox did not know how his mom died. The rumors were some kind of an explosion.

Fox's thoughts were cut off by the communicator buzzing in. It was Falco.

"Fox turn around now!" Falco yelled.

"What-Why!" Fox asked back. He could sense the seriousness in Falco's voice.

"Just do it!" Falco yelled. At this point Krystal and Slippy had come back.

"Sheesh Falco, why are your panties in a bunch?" Slippy said. The amphibian was acting pretty cocky for someone who just needed to be saved. Falco's ship came into view.

"Listen froggy-!" Falco was interrupted by a something shooting up from the ground. It grabbed Falco's ship. Fox thought it looked like a tentacle. Falco tried to get out by boosting, but it wasn't working. The three flew as fast as they could towards their friend. "No, get away you-AHHHHHH!" The tentacle tore his ship apart.

"FALCO!" Fox screamed. He didn't have time to mourn his friend because another tentacle popped out of the ground right in front of them. "Let's get out of here! " Fox said trying to keep the tears back. The all did a U-turn and jetted away from the monster. Thoughts were racing through his head about Falco. He was also thinking of the safety of Slippy, but more for Krystal. He though what if something happens to her. His worse fears were confirmed when he heard:

"FOX!" He looked over to Krystal and saw a tentacle right behind her.

"NO!" yelled Fox as he flew as fast as he could towards the vixen. The tentacle rose up in the air and started coming down right on top of Krystal. Fox boosted and rammed Krystal out of the way. The tentacle hit Fox instead.

"AHHHHHH!" Fox yelled rising up for bed.

"What is it!" Krystal asked.

Fox looked around. It was his bedroom on the Great Fox. "It was just…a dream." Fox sighed in relief.

"Another one?" Krystal asked laying back down.

"Yeah, just another one," Fox said laying back down. While Fox was happy it was a dream, but he was worried because he had had the same dream before, multiple times actually, but for now all he could do was go back to sleep and that's just what he did.

Hello, this is my first FanFiction so I know this may not be the best, but I'll try to make it better.
