Chapter 1
The birth
Fox waited outside the room Krystal was in, his paws shakingly grasping each other tightly, he couldn't keep a steady face but only a worried one, he was scared that something might happen to her or the child to be, he couldn't control himself, he couldn't calm his body from shaking with worry, especially thinking of what his newborn kit would be: a girl or a boy?
"Alright Fox, nothing to worry about. You can get through this easily, it's no big deal, just...remain...calm" He calmly told himself over and over again, hoping that repeating it would sooth his nerves, trying his best to cool down his nerves. "You're not calming down...stay calm."
Fox kept on saying to himself that there was nothing to worry about, but it wasn't helping him, it only filled him with more grief; He was afraid, then the nurse walked out of the room and looked down at Fox, a soft smile upon her face.
"Fox Mccloud?" She asked the vulpine with a gentle voice.
Fox turned his head towards the nurse, he was wondering why she was out here instead of being inside with Krystal; the nurse smiled at Fox.
"Its over now, you can go inside and see your new born child." She calmly said as she stepped to the side to let Fox by.
Fox opened the door and looked at Krystal, smiling down at her kit in her arms; Fox walked over and looked down at the small kit, he felt a tear roll down his face, a great amount of pride had surged through him.
"She looks just like you Krystal." Fox softly said, gently stroking the kits cheek.
"He." Krystal giggled as she kissed the kits nose.
Fox looked up at the ceiling, thinking of one thing: YAHOO A BOY! THANK YOU ALMIGHTY GOD IN HEAVEN! He looked back down at his child and smiled.
"What do you think we should name him?" Fox asked with even more pride then before.
Krystal looked upat the ceiling, thinking of a name, she then smiled as a name popped into her mind.
"…Kirin." Krystal said softly as she held the kit closer to her.
"What?" Fox asked with slight confusion.
"Kirin. Because he's warm, Fox, just like the god of fire of my planet. Kirin." Krystal explained and smiled, nuzzling Kirin gently.
Fox looked down at the blue furred child, his face was soft and loveable while he was asleep; Kirin opened his small eyes, the iris of his eyes were red like a ruby, his small breaths were soft; he yawned and held onto his mothers fur as he fell back asleep. Far from the hospital room, a telescope looked upon the family, a saurian ship, sharpclaw origin; the holder of the telescope was none other then General scales.
"It sickens me to see that!" General scales said, looking through a telescope, slightly growling at the sight of the family. "You may have beaten me before, but this time, I'll have the upper advantage."
Night time
Kirin slept in the arms of his mother, he felt warm, warmer then Krystal, who was still looking down at him, she smiled softly at the sight of his sleeping face, gently kissing his cheek, smiling at the sound of his purring. Fox slowly held his son in his arms, looking down at his tiny face, he felt proud to be a father, this is what it must have felt like for his father; Fox placed Kirin down on his small bed inside his crib, then Krystal and Fox left his room, knowing that he was safe.
The window slowly opened as quiet as the opener could make it, slowly the sharpclaw general stepped into the room silently as possible, he looked down into Kirin's crib, smirking.
"My your…hmm?" General scales suddenly stopped talking as he took a closer look at Kirin.
For some reason, Kirin was radiating a red aura, an odd aura that released pulses, General Scales was amazed by the infants power.
"So you have been the one I've been looking for, the key to freeing Syphon, the beast of Sauria's destruction!" General scales thought as he reached down with his normal arm.
The general slowly picked Kirin up, then quickly looked at the door, looking at Fox as he entered through the door and quickly grabbed a blaster.
"Stop, Stop damn you!" Fox roared at him, quickly firing blast after blast at the sharpclaw general
General Scales quickly jumped out of the window and quickly ran for his ship, carrying Kirin in his claw arm, managing to only take minor wounds, but still able to run at a fast pace; Krystal looked out through the window and grabbed her staff, chasing after the sharpclaw general, he was almost on his ship.
"Kirin!" Krystal screamed as she tried her best to keep up with the captor.
Kirin quickly opened his small eyes, hearing his mothers cries as he was taken away from her. Kirin started to sob.
General scales quickly boarded his ship and it launched quickly into the air, flying away from the house, he looked down at the crying Kirin, he placed his finger on the small infants face, Kirin tried to bite the general's finger but failed.
"You're a feisty one aren't you?" General scales chuckled and smirked, his fangs put the small Kirin in a state of fear, like seeing a monster for the first time in his life.
The general looked back at Fox and Krystal with his smug grin, he laughed triumphently and looked towards the universe as the ship flew towards the skies, and soon towards Sauria, he finally got revenge on the vulpine that nearly destroyed him and his ambition for conquest.
"Kirin!" Krystal screamed once more through her tears, her heart throbbed in pure sorrow that her only child was taken from her.
Krystal cried to her child, hoping that this was some horrible dream that she would awake from and her son would be back in her arms, but it wasn't a dream or a nightmare, no matter how hard she wished it was, then she fell to her knees, placing her paws on her face and weeped; Fox clenched his blaster and grit his teeth, his pride was then replaced with pure anger.
"General scales…I will hunt you down…and this time…I WILL kill you." Fox through with pure hatred and anger towards the general that took his pride and joy away, blinded by pure anger and wishing how he had his hands around his neck at that very moment.
Fox clenched his blaster even harder, then it snapped in his paws, his anger was much greater then fighting Andross or the Aparoids, this time he was going back to Dinosaur planet, and was going to get his child back, but he remembered one thing: The Arwing's and Great Fox was still under repairs after the battle with the Aparoid queen. He would have to wait a while before he could go after the captor.
General scales ship
Shapclaw soldiers looked down at the small Kirin with confusion and triumph, he still felt unhappy and sad.
"General, why is he like that?" One soldier spoke up with slight confusion as he examined Kirin from head to toe.
"I may have done the most horrid thing I've done with my life, and that it is the most greatest achivement i've ever achieved, I tore this child away from his mother, the one who lives with the one defeated me."The general explained coldly, still smirking at his "aquired" victory.
"Wow, that's low." Another sharpclaw spoke up, like a random voice within a silent crowd.
"Yes, well it doesn't really matter now, so get back to work, and make sure we get back to Dinosaur planet safely." The general simply said, brushing the conversation away like dust on a sleeve.
The general held up his hand and clenched slightly, a blue rune slowly appeared and pulsed around the ship, a large bubble started to grow around the ship as they entered space, giving them air to breathe. An old engineer sharpclaw looked down at the small Kirin, he couldn't stop feeling what Kirin was feeling, he picked up a small fruit and pulled out a knife, cutting into the small piece of food and eyed the small vulpine kit.
"You hungry lil fella?" The engineer smiled and held out a small piece of fruit on the tip of the knife towards Kirin.
Kirin looked up at the Sharp claws face, then looked at the fruit piece, he didn't look unhappy, but he did look like he wanted to steal the fruit away from the sharpclaw engineer, slowly taking the piece and nibbled on it as he planned on how to pull such a theft off.
"Well I know who you are, young whipper snapper, so I'll introduce meself, me name is Garin, I'm an engineer of this confounded ship, and possibly the one with the most experience in ships of sauria, been working for about fifty years, and the blasted General hasn't paid my salary ever since I joined his crew, all I get is a kick out his office and a "Get back to work you old coot!"The engineer explained with a couple voice expressions, mocking the general's voice.
Kirin laughed and looked up at Garin's face, his tag wagged with pure glee, he desired more tasty fruit and more jokes from this old engineer, he found him as a trustworthy friend, even through he was of sharpclaw origin, it didn't matter to Kirin as long as he was happy and fed.
"Well if laughing at me will keep you cheerful, then I guess you should hear about me relationship with me wife, when I first met her, she was like an angel from heaven, but after a couple years of marriage, she's like a gosh dern nagging Red eyes dinosaur, she just won't leave me be...maybe because she is a Red eyes dinosaur who won't leave me be, woo doggy, I should have seen those past years of being married to death herself and left her behind, but I couldn't, she knew the lock to my scarabs chest." Garin chuckled and rocked in a rocking chair, smiling at Kirin as he continued to speak of his wife.
Kirin laughed even harder and banged his tiny fists on the wooden table, he couldn't stop his tiny squeals of glee that burst from his small muzzle at the jokes coming from Garin, he almost fell off the table in pure laughter as he held his stomach tightly.
"Whoa there little fella, don't want to hurt yourself."Garin chuckled and caught him, gently cradling him in his arm and smiled.
Kirin grinned slightly, now was his chance to strike: quickly acting, he grabbed the remains of the fruit and stuffed it in his mouth, simling at Garin with wide, stuffed cheeks like a squirrl.
"Hey there, that was mine, you little rascal."Garin chuckled and tapped Kirin's nose gently, the young kit smiled and snuggled close to the old sharpclaw.
Kirin and Garin laughed together, soon they were coming close to Sauria's nearby landing point near Thorn tail hollow, Garin liked Kirin to much for him to suffer from General scales's punishments, no matter how much his loyalty was towards the General, he wouldn't allow such a fate to befall the young kit.
"I'll make sure that buffoon of a sharp claw never finds you, I'll hide with someone that you can trust as well as I can." Garin whispered and stood up quickly, rushing towards the edge of the ship's side, and slammed by other sharp claws.
"Garin, you bastard!" General scales roared at the escaping old engineer, it was too late to stop him as Garin jumped off the ship and landed in Thorn tail hollow instead of the landing point that led to the snow lands, looking for his old friend, the shop keeper, leaving Kirin at the entrance of his shop.
"Stay here little partner, the shop keeper will be your new guardian, stay strong lil guy."Garin whispered and tucked Kirin into a corner, giving him one finally hug.
Garin stood up and turned around, climbing up the wall and back into Thorn tail hollow, pulling himself up to his feet and looked at General scales in the face with a scowl, the general growled and his normal paw clenched tightly in anger.
"Where is he Garin?"The general coldly barked at the old engineer, ready to slice him apart with his blade and claws.
"I ain't telling you anything, you old nut muffin!" Garin barked back at the general and snarled, poking the general's chest hard with his bony finger.
General scales signaled two Sharp Claws to handcuff the old engineer, taking him back to the ship for imprisonment, he then slammed his fist into a rock wall through pure fury, several other rocks falling to his sides.
"My revenge, ruined by that old fool, I will find you small one, I'll tell you that." General scales barked into the air and stormed back to the ship, flying off back to the sharpclaw region.
Kirin looked at the ship as it flew away, only thinking of one thing: Garin, a friend he made taken away, just like him, taken away from his parents. A tear rolled down his face in pure loneliness.
"Well what do we have here?" A voice of surprised confusion spoke from behind.
Kirin turned his head and looked at the floating shop keeper, his purple cloths just confused him, he tilted his head and sat down in front of the shop keeper.
"Let me see here." The shop keeper said as he reached down and looked Kirin's name tag over, a small pendent with his name chisled into it. "So your name is Kirin, eh?"
The shop keeper picked Kirin up and held him in his arms, cradling him gently and smiled down at him, he brought him inside the shop that he still owned, the well still craving scarabs to be dropped down into its pit for a cheat token, which seemed no one would ever even want, Kirin looked at him in slight fear, he didn't know if he wanted to call him a friend or a foe or even an it, since he was also of sharpclaw origin, quite odd and funny looking, and what topped it off: no legs, how was he floating in the air?
"Don't worry, everything is going to be alright now…at least I'll have an assistant for the shop." The shopkeeper smiled as the curtains to the entrance closed behind him.
