Chapter One Abandonment

Krystal walks around her CloudRunner fighter inspecting it for any problems before having to take off for any reason. As she walks around and stops at the fighter's small emergency supply cargo area and opens it reveling a locked box with the Star Fox Team logo on it, a box that Fox gave her on the anniversary of her second year joining the team. She rubs her hand against the emblem on the top of the box as she starts to remember the last time, she seen Fox and the team.


-Flashback Three Months Ago-

It's a week after Krystal took up Fox's offer to return to the team. Fox sends out a member wide request for everyone to come to the bridge for a meeting. Fox sitting in the captain's chair waiting for the team tapping one of his claws on the arm rest. The doors of the bridge opening up as the team made their way to Fox stopping in front of him.

Fox stands up starting to pace in front of them. "I know it has not been long team." He keeps walking back and forth as he continues. "I was thinking…" Before Fox was able to finish what, he was going to say Falco butts in.

"You're not going to disband the team again we just got back together!?" Falco crossing his arms and leans up against a wall.

"God dam Falco let me finish!" Fox stopped his pacing glaring at Falco. The others were quiet waiting for Fox to continue. "As I was saying" He paused looking at everyone else. "I was thinking we all take some time to ourselves, before returning to our missions."

Krystal is the next to comment "You mean a vacation? The vary thing you say no to whenever everyone request sometime somewhere due to, we have to get to our next mission?" Fox looks at Krystal and nods. "Who are you and what did you do with Fox?"

Fox looks away "It's not my idea, Peppy refused to give us a mission due to the lack of personal time the team would take and told me to take a vacation."

"And you just said yes?" Falco walks over putting his hand to Fox's head. "Maybe your right Krystal, maybe this Fox is an imposter or he is just sick." Fox slaps his hand away from his head. "Ok, ok maybe he is just sick."

ROB chimes in on que. "Fox's temperature is normal. No signs of any ailments." Fox sits down "I did argue with him but then he played his General card so if we want any more missions from him and the CDF we have to play by his rules."

Slippy broke his silence. "Also, the Cornerian Army is the main financial backing of this team, we would be lucky to survive if we did not have them."

Fox standing up. "Exactly! Besides the occasional rich person and some stupid reason." He sits putting his head on his paw. "So, you can see we do not have much of a choice." He looks at a screen connected to his captain's chair. "Peppy also stated the CDF will cover all living expenses during this vacation at locations of our picking. So, we will take off from our current location tomorrow let ROB know where each of you want to go."


-Current Time-

Krystal is interrupted from her memory as she hears Wolf from the distance. "Finally, Panther, let's start the meeting." Panther looks at Wolf "I'll go get Krystal." Just about when he was going to go get her Wolf stops him. "No." Panther looks at him as he guides him in the room the door closing behind them.

Krystal closing the cargo door and walks over to the door of the room the three where. "Why would they have a meeting without me?" She thought as she leaned against the door putting her ear up to it.

Wolf was starting to talk, "We all seen how many tried to conquer Corneria and the Lylat system." Krystal keeps her ear to the door trying to pick up as much as she can. "So, I think it's time we took our turn."

Panther begins to talk. "You mean try to take over like all the others? I thought your main goal is destroying Star Fox?" Wolf interrupts Panther. "When is Star Fox all ways around?"

Leon jumps in "When Corneria and the Lylat system is in danger."

"Exactly!" Wolf slams his fist on an object Krystal can only think was a table. "Doing this will get Star Fox to come directly to us."

"As good as an idea that is Wolf how do you expect such to happen. Last time we know Star Fox was disbanded and Fox nowhere to be found." Panther stated as Krystal's ears twitched. "He disbanded the team again?"

"Oh, I have an idea to get him to show his face." Wolf stated. It was silent for a few before Leon broke it. "That is?"

"We use Krystal." Wolf stated plainly. Panther must get up fast due to the sound of a chair scraping against the floor. "Absolutely not… besides even if we did how are we going to know Fox will come to her aid… after abandoning him without warning."

"Your right Panther… we need something that would guarantee him to his face…hmm." Krystal starts to read Wolfs mind. "What would do… ah it may be crazy… but may just work… now will they kidnap the General for us…" Krystal stops reading his mind quickly. "Peppy."

She quickly goes to her CloudRunner but is careful to not to make any noise and quickly gets inside starting the process of starting it up. "I cannot be part of this… Peppy is like a father to me." The others are walking out of the room as they notice her ship is just starting up.

Panther looking at the ship. "Krystal!?" She starts to take off out of the hanger. "Dam it! She must have heard us!" They stand there. "Well don't just stand there let's get her!" They run to their ships and start prepping them for launch.

As Krystal is flying, she starts playing with her ships communications system, "where is it…" As she keeps looking for a channel her ship gets hit. "Fuck!" She starts dogging them as panther pleads with her to stop. As she tries invading the three, she is looking for a channel as she falls upon the Cornerian Army Emergency Channel. "This will have to work… but they might not respond to me…"

Her ship gets hit again the communications system making a static sound "Gods and goddesses." She picks up her headset hitting the speaking button and states what first comes to mind without thinking. "To any CDF Ship in the area this is the Grate Fox requesting emergency assistance, I repeat… To any CDF Ship in the area this is the Grate Fox requesting emergency assistance." She gets hit again as it takes out her communications. "Fuck…. I hope it got out." Now she focuses on her flying being able to evade them way better now she can focus on more now.


-CDF Cerbere-

Meanwhile somewhere in Sector Z the Cornerian Army Cruiser Cerbere was making a quick patrol. A dog running up to the captain's chair and saluting quickly "Sir we are receiving a message by the emergency channel!"

"What!?" He gets up, running over to the Communications station. "Play that message corporal!" he barked at the person in the chair. As the message starting to play. "To any Cornerian Fleet Ship in static area this is the static Fox requesting emergency static, I repeat… To any Cornerian Fleet Ship static, the static this is the Grate Fox requesting static assistance.". The corporal turns in his seat to the captain. "Sir pasting it together it sounds like an emergency assistance request being made by the Grate Fox."

The captain stands next to the communications station. "That is imposable the team has been disbanded for some time." He makes the person next to the communications specialist move. "Play it again and slow it down."

A blue wolf walking up to the station. "Sir while that may be true one thing that still is around is that the whereabouts of Fox and the ship is still are unknown." The captain jumps slightly and turns in the seat, the captain has always been a jumpy one but there are times that he being jumpy is good.

"Ah Commander Nibley…. That is correct and it is an emergency request on the emergency channel, we must respond per regulations." He turns to the communications specialist. "Get the coordinates of the transmission over to helm." He gets up and points at the person he made move. "and you… send HQ a message that we are responding to this request." He moves to the center of the bridge and sits in the captain's chair as Nibley follows right behind him standing slightly behind the chair to his left.

The helmsman turns in his seat to face the captain as the blue wolf has a blank stare for a bit. "We are ready to proceed to the location sir." He salutes him. "ok, tak…" Nibley bends over whispering in his ear.

"Sir I think we should maybe be ready for battle before starting out to the coordinates." She states before standing back up. The captain looks up at her. "For all we know it's just a ship that needs a tow… but all your hunches seem to be spot on…" He looks forward the helmsmen still looking at the captain awaiting the order.

The captain sits there for a bit in thought then he presses a button on his chair opening up the ship wide communications system. "All hands… battle stations." Once he said the order the ship's lights automatically turned red as an automatic sound started to state "All hands to battle stations this is not a drill this is not a drill."

The captain sits there watching the officers on the bridge barking orders in to their headsets, he has put his ship on battle alert drills many times in which they failed many times as he rubs his head hopping that his crew don't fuck up.

Nibley looks at her wrist computer watching a status screen with that has multiple boxes each key areas of the ship and a color watching each of them turn from red to yellow then a green. "Captain"

The captain was still thinking about the many drills and worrying about what could happen if his crew where not ready.

"Captain!" Nibley raised her voice making the captain jump and brake from his thinking ready to yell at whoever raised their voice at him, as he looked at the person speaking to him noticing it was his first officer. "All stations are green." She stated to him.

The captain looks at the monitor's in front of the bridge. "Helm move us out, full speed." The ship starts to go to the coordinates.

After some traveling the navigation officer looks over to the captain. "We are approaching the coordinates now sir." He stated. "Not detecting the Grate Fox sir, but we are detecting 4 ships, strange one unregistered ship and three… sir its Star Wolf!" The sensor officer glued to his screen.

The Captain gets up. "You can't be serious." He walks down from his seat closer to the screens that zoomed to get a closer look of the ships.

Nibley follows the captain looking at the image, "That it is, team Star Wolf but only three wasn't there four on the last reports?"

"They are attacking the unregistered ship sir." The sensor officer yelled out.

The captain looks at the gunnery officer. "Order the gunner stations to fire at the three ships but not to destroy… I want to try to get them to surrender but have them ready to directly hit them on command."

Nibley looks over also. "Do also note that there is also a ship that is possibly civilian." The gunnery officer nods then relay the orders via his headset.


-Krystal-

It seemed like ages as Krystal tried to get away from Star Wolf it being almost impossible to escape and avoid their weapons. Then she noticed that she was not getting shot at anymore, looking all around that her cockpit windows would allow her she noticed that the three other ships where getting shot at by a CDF ship, she took the opportunity to quickly leave the area as fast as she can.

After some hours of traveling she stopped. "I need to warn the Cornerian Army …" She knew her communications system was down but she still had her wrist computer that could send a texted message that she could then send out when she was able to reach a Cornerian communications satellite.
