Author's Notes; Crossover AU. StarFox and Megaman X. Shounen Ai implied. POVs. X is first, Zero is second. Spoilers if you haven't played StarFox Adventures. This idea is actually old and had been in constant debate for several years..Only recently did I decide on it being a POV and start working out how it might go..I'm going to try not to go through every single event of the game as I go, I don't know if I can do so without getting carried away..I'll try to cover just the important ones and maybe improvise with some others along the way..Please enjoy..This will be chaptered..

Confusion

The first thing I remember about getting into this entire mess was that as Zero and I set off for a mission, the teleporters malfunctioned and sent us into what looked like the Mesozoic Era. Other hunters had reported malfunctions or instances where those old teleporters just wouldn't work to Signas and it looked like I'd be next if Zero didn't bite his head off over it. That is, if we can ever find our way home.

We ended up in what was called Thorntail Hollow. We could easily see how it got that name. There were Stegosaurus-like dinosaurs everywhere in sight, some small and a few large. Zero noticed by checking the gauges on his left bracer that something was strange. We hadn't gone back in time at all, we had become stranded on an entirely different planet, something I had suspected by seeing how fast the Sun was travelling across the sky. It was leagues faster than Earth's Sun would travel. Zero hadn't noticed until he closed the gauges on his bracer that he was holding me tightly close by my side with his right arm. I saw him blush as he let me go and apologized. I insisted that it was ok, turning my head opposite of him to hide my own blush.

If we were still on Earth, we never would have considered this. Since we were on a different planet, while discussing how to get home and if maybe we ended up here for a reason, we wondered if maybe these dinosaurs were intelligent. There was only one way to find out. Zero asked the closest Thorntail to us what planet we were on and if there was any trouble. Surprisingly, the Thorntail did speak, but we couldn't identify the language. It was entirely different than any language we had ever heard. It was hard on the k's and t's, which sounded similar to Zero's sometimes German dialogue. I was glad Dr. Light was kind enough to give me a built-in translator on my armor. I checked my gauges, which were on my right bracer, and this language was written as Dinosaur Language. I noticed that the x's were sounded as a's. Oh dear, I can't imagine what my name would be in Dinosaur. This Thorntail explained about how their queen had been locked up by a dinosaur tribe called Sharpclaws and then how there were fruits that could be knocked out of some trees and how the rocks in a circle nearby could be lifted up. Helpful at least and we finally have something of an idea of what was happening.

As we walked around and explored, the next creature we met was very curious. We had already been beat here by a human-like fox carrying a strange purple scepter. He bumped into us as we had come closer to the locked door the queen was supposed to be behind. After asking if we spoke dinosaur and what we were supposed to be, human or robot, which we are technically a bit of both, he identifed himself as Fox McCloud of the mercenary team StarFox and that he was investigating why the planet had chunks torn from it, hoping to put it back together. My gaze went to Zero, who returned it and nodded, my cue that this needed to be taken seriously and as a mission. I explained to Fox that we had ended up there by mistake, but would be happy to help him out if he'd let us.

I wondered where this would all go as we teamed up for this mission. What would we see? What would we have to do, both for Dinosaur Planet and for getting back home? This would probably be our biggest mission yet.

Irritation

Stuck on a different planet all because Signas wouldn't listen about those old teleporters. I'm stuck between annoyance and curiousity because of this, but I admit that I'm glad that I got to be stuck here with X. At least we didn't get lost during that fiasco. A mission with him and this human-esque fox leader of a mercenary team certainly had an appeal. I'd never heard of a planet being broken apart. If it happened on Earth, it would be nothing short of catastrophic.

Apparently, the energy from Fox's scepter was only able to be identified as magic. That can't possibly be the scepter's original owner, it wouldn't make sense and wouldn't be of much use to someone who drove a spaceship for a living. The queen looked hurt when we finally got to her. When she began to speak in that weird speech, X held up his right arm showing us his translator, even though apparently Fox's mechanic was working on a translating device. Seemed we needed to rescue Tricky, the queen's son, by way of a strange guy made completely of stone with the ability to warp us to where he was taken. I know for a fact that X and I do both enjoy rescue missions, but it was irrevelant as to why the planet was in its present state. If we're to get anywhere with this, it had to be done though.

Unfortunately, we were quick to hit a snag. This Warpstone, as he was called with X noting a Scottish dialect to his speech, complained about never getting a gift. Yet again, irrevelant to the mission, but it had to be done. Getting a gift for a complete stranger, what's next? This meant we had to figure out the currency in order to obtain any shape or form of a gift for this guy. Of all things, it was scarabs, the same poisonous insects found in deserts on Earth. Very bizarre. Only hours into this mission and I'm noticing that terrestrial logic doesn't work very well here. Maybe X could help me broaden my mind and link it all together as we go.

After getting and giving the Warpstone his gift from an underground store with a floating Tyrannosaurus-like dinosaur as the storekeeper, we were sent to a place called Ice Mountain. We found our target and the Sharpclaws the Thorntails had mentioned. They lowered the prince from a spaceship and drove him into a holding area, locking the door. The only way to get to him involved explosives, fighting, and a touch of magic. This was probably the best time I had picked to bring my Absolute armor. I hadn't used it since Giga City, but it was perfect for cold weather and guranteeing heavy damage. There was also a cannon that made getting the explosives harder than it needed to be.

I was ready to rip that cannon and its operator to pieces when we finally got rid of their barricade. X tried to talk peacefully with the Sharpclaws, but they barely understood nor cared. He hesitated, understandably, when he realized they had to be put down. To us, this planet is an archeological goldmine. Terrestrial scientists could learn so much from its composition and inhabitants. It was a real shame to have to put any of them down, but it had to be done. I made quick work and a large explosion of the cannon, blowing away a cracked wall that no one had noticed earlier before aiding Fox and X in the fight. This exposed the lock on the closed door and a shot of magic from the scepter sent it up.

What we saw inside outraged the three of us. The Sharpclaw were beating the prince over the head with their spiked clubs. I know that would never fly on Earth. Fox distracted them for a few minutes and we saw Tricky use the distraction of Fox stating who he was and his business there to get away. When they noticed him get away, they beat and rammed Fox out of the way, taking off on some strange bikes. There was only one leftover which Fox promptly took so I lifted X onto my back and flew after them.

X clung hard to me as I followed them. I was sure I was blushing and glad the racers weren't paying me any mind. The race lead to a hot spring with Fox ramming bikes into the Sharpclaw and making the bikes explode. I touched down just as Fox splashed into the hot spring and began talking to Tricky, who we noticed got frustrated since no one could translate at the moment. He cooled off once the translator device his mechanic frog buddy was working on finally kicked in and began to lead the prince home with us following close behind. X was a little reluctant to get off my back, but I allowed him to stay on since it was cold.

We had to rely on the help of Tricky and what looked like Woolly Mammoths to get back to the hollow. X and I both thought this was Dinosaur Planet, knowing that Mammoths, or as they are called Snowhorns were mammals, not dinosaurs. Either way, we also had to bribe a large blue Sharpclaw to allow us into a tunnel that led out to the hollow.

Off went Tricky once we were back. Fox went after him promptly and X started to crawl off my back until we spotted an infestation of Sharpclaw. They were everywhere. X groaned in protest at the sight and I shifted him back on before distracting them so Fox and Tricky could get through. Something was very wrong here, we both knew it.
