Chapter 1: Prologue

You all remember what happened in IDR (Interdimensional relapse), right? Everyone was sent home after the adventure and Link had to work extra hard to send another pair back. But that's not where the story is. Here it is.

Two years had passed in Hyrule since Link saw the last of Fox and the others. Sonic was true to his word and kept our Hylian's secret. Shadow was very relieved to hear that Zelda was okay and Concolor dead. Fox and Krystal got married (like we all know) and enjoyed their new life together. Then, everything changed when a friend brought Fox some good news and some bad news.

"Hey, Fox!" A rather cartoony voice called.

Fox got up off his chair from his laptop and asked, "Out of bolts again, Slippy? I'll be sure to order you some."

The cartoony voice belonged to our favorite mechanic frog, Slippy Toad.

"It's not that, Fox. Alright, I've got some good news and I got some bad news."

Fox had a bit of curiosity in his eyes and asked, "And that would be…?"

Slippy cleared his throat and began.

"The good news is…I just finished what you asked for."

Fox's eyes glimmered. He would finally be able to go to Hyrule again and see his friend. But he forgot something: The bad news.

"The bad news is…the criminal we shipped to Corneria is on the LOOSE!!!"

Fox got out of his chair and asked, "ALLOS?!" Slippy nodded in fright. Fox knew just what to do and raced to Slippy's room.

"You sure you're gonna try this, Fox?" Slippy asked as he began to strap something around Fox's waist.

"Positive, Slip. I'm going to need all the help I can get." He answered, knowing what he was doing.

Slippy finished strapping the belt around Fox and activated one switch, turning it on. The two were in front of a big, circular thing that looked like a large ring. On its sides appeared to be power generators and it was so tall that Fox could step through it like you would a door.

"Use this belt to come back home. Just make sure your friend is touching you when you do so he can come with you." Slippy explained, "Just press this large button and you'll be teleported right back here."

Fox nodded and said in a confident voice, "Don't worry, Slip. I'll remember."

Slippy went over to the computer and began typing so fast; you could almost dance to the beat. A minute later, the inner part of the ring began to glow bright green. Fox took a deep breath and stepped inside.
