Prologue

She was beaten, for the first time in her life as a bounty hunter, she was beaten. Her name is Kursed, once Krystal, Fox's lover, Coyote's sister, and most of all, part of the Starfox team. Her opponent, a Kitsune, a race thought to have been long dead, destroyed by her own race in a war many years ago. Apparently, all history was wrong. He stared at her, she was lying on the ground, panting. He held a katana, had three tails, white fur and blonde hair, wore a hooded black cloak, had red markings on his face, and a scar running through his right eye. They were on the top of the center building on Katina where the Independence war took place.

"Finish me, I don't have anything to live for anyway," was all she could say. Her hooded foe seemed to suddenly get filled with anger and said:

"You think you are a curse, compared to my life, you are lucky. My people were enslaved, taken away from our home and placed in killing camps. Many of my people had their tails chopped off which was extremely painful, the biggest form of disgrace to my people, I barely escaped, but I was the only one who did, successfully. I soon met a vulpine named Sparks, he pretended to be my best friend, but was really a mercenary hired by Venom to bring me back. I was forced to kill him, that incident destroyed my trust in everyone but me."

His story made her feel bad for him, the first time since she became a hunter. But that was quickly changed by rage. She sprang up and ran, as fast as she could.

High above, Coyote was watching, and listening from the safety of his ship.

"Steven, track the three tailed fox and don't let him go," he ordered.

"Yes sir, but why?" Steven asked.

"I think we found our man," he said.

Coyote closed his transmission channel and flew towards his location.
