Author's Note:

This is my first fic. Tell me what you think! Any suggestions or requests... 3 it, h8 it. All reviews welcome.

Chapter 1: Time

It's been one week since the victory over the Anglar Empire. Once again, the galaxy was safe thanks to the Star Fox team. But the war caused much damage, and many had lost everything. The Anglar Empire had no concept of mercy. It spared no world. Their capacity for destruction was unrivaled.

Effects of the war would be felt for generations to come, changing life forever. However, the absolute devastation brought worlds together. All could sympathize with a common circumstance. This wasn't Anglars' intention.

A seed… growing in perfect conditions brought about by this very circumstance. A seed planted long ago. Amidst all the chaos, it would be this seed that would lead us into a new era of long lasting peace: The seed of compassion.

Compassion. Compassion on a grand scale. In the destruction of worlds, the great seed of compassion grows ever quickly. The people of the Lylat system cast aside their differences and join forces in their recovery as they build a better life, with stronger roots. Right now, anything feels possible.

One must wonder… had Andross not planned for this? Was it not his true intention all along? Is it not possible that his genius had been misunderstood? That there first must be suffering in order to achieve the greater good? Had Andross enough faith in the Lylat people to overcome his abomination and unite in common struggle? That he was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice when he masked his benevolence in hatred and created evil for the sake of good? This result following Lylat's triumph had to be more than a mere fluke, right?

Bahaha, yeah right! He was just a monkey tossing around the last of his bowels. In any case… The future looks brighter already.

But peace has a habit of coming and going, and the universe is still far from perfect. It will be a while yet before the world no longer needs Team Star Fox. So they remain on standby: ready to assist those desperately seeking help, to alleviate their pain caused by the heavy burdens of this difficult time, to be the light in their darkest hour. In the meantime, they deserve a break.

So it was decided that the Star Fox team retreat from the battlefield, for now, and make the most of the time they have. Work hard, play hard. The future is unpredictable; who knows when the next catastrophe will strike. But for now, they have time: time to reflect… time to heal… time to grow… time to love and to be loved... time to move forward.
