Chapter 1: Regret
Fox stared out the window of his room. He had not moved for what felt like an hour. He was alone, sitting in the dark with nothing to look at. Every night when there weren't any distractions, he would always be like this, always thinking about one person, Krystal.
It had been several months since he had last seen her, several months since he had watched her break away from the Star Fox team. Her words had pierced him like knives, and they were still fresh in his mind. I'm sorry, Fox! I can't do this anymore. I'm going back to be with Panther and the rest of Star Wolf. Fox had pleaded and begged for her to stay, but Krystal's mind was set. Even now, just the memory of their last meeting together brought tears to Fox's eyes.
He had been forced to wander the universe with only his robot ROB, and his best friend Falco Lombardi. His other friend, Slippy Toad, had gone to the planet Aquas to start a new life with his fiancée Amanda. Fox was happy for Slippy, but he couldn't help feeling jealous at the fact that Slippy was loved by someone, and didn't have to worry about problems which Fox now faced. Falco always tried to cheer up Fox, but to no avail. Fox could never change the fact that Krystal had left, and that would probably never see her again.
This had all started because he had pushed her away beforehand. A year ago, he had asked her to leave Star Fox because he was worried about her getting hurt. After the whole mess with the apparoids, he didn't want something to happen to her. He just didn't want to lose her. Every day and night Fox regretted this, for doing so had caused her to join Star Wolf. She did it to get back at Fox, to make him hurt on the inside. Fox had thought that she pretended to love Panther, a member of the Star Wolf team. After a close encounter with some new enemies, Krystal had rejoined Star Fox to help take down the Anglar Emperor in the bottom of the Venom Sea. Fox was relieved until the day that she left again. Why had she decided to go? Had she really fall in love with Panther, when she was only trying to use him? Fox pondered these questions whenever he was in his room, almost every night.
A knock sounded at the door.
"Come in."
Falco walked in; no doubt he was about to attempt to cheer up Fox for the umpteenth time.
Fox was caught by surprise when Falco said five simple words: "We have a new mission."
Team Star Fox had not had a mission ever since they defeated the Anglar Emperor. Fox was about to deny the invitation to go. He considered himself useless after all the poor choices he had made in his life. This opinion soon changed when Falco said: "It involves team Star Wolf."
