Starfox: War of the Planets

The Portal

"Hey Falco! You got a bogey on your tail," shouted Fox, flying his Arwing II, "Slippy, cover me as I take down the enemy mothership. Krystal, use evasive maneuvers and distract the mothership while I take it down."

"Got it Foxie! I got it under control," said Falco, nodding confidently as he sharply turned his Sky Claw so that the bogey was right in front of him.

"Not a problem," croaked Slippy anxiously following Fox on his Bullfrog.

"Okay Fox," Krystal calmly said as she sped up on her Cloudrunner to divert the mothership's attention to her.

The Starfox team had encountered a gang of outlaws who tried to steal valuable confidential Cornerian weaponry and equipment from Sector X. They trailed the thieves and found their mothership.

"I can't believe right after the aparoid incident, we have to aid the Lylat System in ensnaring the notorious Dark Demons," Fox murmured to himself as he fired multiple charge shots at the mothership that took enormous amount of damage on the main hull. "Well at least we'll be busy for a while. There have been a lot of changes since the extinction of the aparoids. Most of the planets have returned to order and balance. Peppy retired and went to Corneria to live with his daughter Lucy. ROB and Slippy successfully built Superfox. And General Pepper is close to retirement."

"Fox!" cawed out Falco, "Destroy the mothership with a bomb."

"I got it Falco. Don't worry," said Fox confidently as he fired a bomb at the damaged mothership. The bomb exploded and all that's left of the mothership were some screws and bolts. "Slippy! Krystal! Round up the remains of the Dark Demons."

"You got it!" yelled Slippy excitedly as he and Krystal began a wild goose chase after the stragglers.

"Wow Fox. This is WAY too easy for us experts," scoffed Falco, flying side by side with Fox. "What we need are new and formidable opponents."

"Yeah Falco…hmm…" Fox said solemnly.

"Yo! What's up?"

"I somehow don't feel…happy."

"Cheer up Foxie! Maybe you need to take a long vacation."

"No I shouldn't-"

"Come on! You might be able to hook up with Krystal if you want."

"She is not my girlfriend," growled Fox even though inside he loved her. Ever since he met, Krystal, he never tried to let her go. He never felt this close except when he used to make out with Fara; but she mysteriously vanished and was never heard of again.

"Just putting out possibilities," Falco said backing off of Fox's back, "You don't HAVE to do it-"

"Slippy, Krystal! Are you done?" interrupted Fox, completely ignoring Falco.

"Yep! We are heading toward Superfox," said Slippy, "Meet you there."

"Okay!" returned Fox as he flew toward Superfox with Falco tailing behind him.

After returning to Superfox, Fox and his team were busy minding their own business. Slippy and ROB were busily maintaining the vehicles. Falco was watching Rush Hour on his personal, 60-inch, plasma, flat screen T.V. with surround sound system. Krystal was in the bathroom, and Fox was in his room looking at his picture of his dad.

As Fox examined his dad's photo on his bed, he wondered if his dad was still alive. He heard his father's voice through the aparoid queen; but he wondered if killing the aparoid queen freed his father's soul and kept him alive. "Dad," said Fox sadly, "Wish you were here to see this." Pondering silently, he didn't realize that someone had entered his room. Sneakily, the person crept to Fox's bed and pounced on him. He looked up and saw Krystal on top of him.

"Fox," Krystal said, "Let's get this over with." She slowly began to take off her clothes with Fox staring at her dumbfounded.

"What in Corneria are you doing?" shocked Fox, flabbergasted.

"What do you think? I'm sure we have the same feelings for each other…Right?" answered Krystal as she almost took off her clothes.

"Well…" said Fox, looking away from Krystal, "No. I don't think we should."

Krystal froze with confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I mean we shouldn't get together. It could endanger our lives."

"But I love you."

"Sorry Krystal," replied Fox solemnly, getting off the floor and headed out the door without looking twice at Krystal who laid sprawling on the floor shocked and heartbroken. The light in Fox's room slowly flickered and turned off, leaving Krystal in the dark, weeping.

Fox walked into the recreation room where Falco was busy watching T.V. "Hey Falco!"

"Yo!" Falco called, not taking his eyes off of the T.V.

Fox waited patiently for Falco to look at him; but he never did. "Great," mumbled Fox as he took out his blaster and shot the T.V. screen. It exploded right in front of Falco's face who was now shocked and slowly looked at Fox who was emotionlessly returning his gun to his holster.

"What did you do that for?" roared Falco angrily, getting up, "You made me miss my favorite part!"

"Come on Falco. We need to do our weekly patrol around the Lylat System," Fox said, boringly.

"Fine Foxie," groaned Falco, rolling his eyes. He got up and headed for the docking bay without saying another word.

Fox and Falco soon left the docking bay and headed out toward Fortuna, their first planet to check out.

Meanwhile, Krystal left Fox's room and went to ask Slippy where Fox went.

"Fox went to do his weekly patrol, remember?" Slippy answered as he upgraded his Bullfrog with triple plasma lasers and a lock-on sensor.

"Oh yeah," Krystal said, nearly forgetting about Fox's patrol. "And Falco?"

"With Fox."

"Okay. At least we will have some peace and quiet-"

WRRRRR…WRRRRR…WRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slippy nearly hopped out of his clothes in shock and Krystal scanned the room frantically as the whole ship incessantly turned red as the alarm went off.

"ROB! What happened?" shouted Slippy as he ran toward the main control room.

"We are heading toward a portal of unknown creation," ROB answered, "We are being sucked in."

"Okay then. Activate our emergency thrusters," ordered Slippy.

"Affirmative," ROB said as he pushed random buttons. "Malfunction…Malfunction…won't start."

"What do you mean?" Slippy nervously croaked, waving his hands frantically.

"It means we are being sucked in with no problem," yelled Krystal as she ran up to Slippy's side.

"ROB! Where does this portal lead to?" Slippy questioned.

"No idea," ROB answered.

"Well…I guess we'll find out. Hit it," Krystal said as she pointed toward the portal.

"What are you nuts?" cried Slippy, looking at Krystal with horror; "This portal could lead us to another galaxy if it wanted."

"Well we have no choice," Krystal replied. "ROB let the Superfox fly into the portal."

"Affirmative," ROB answered.

It glowed with a gradient of red and yellow. In the center of the circular portal, there was a small speck of green, which Krystal, Slippy, and ROB didn't know what it was.

The Superfox steadily went right through the portal and vanished. The portal soon closed slowly enough for a fighter to go through before it disappeared.

When the ship came out of the portal, Krystal gasped in horror. "Oh my goodness."

Slippy answered with the same horrific awe, " By the blood of Venom, Wow!"

ROB even began leaking oil in the ship when he saw the destination where the portal sent them.

No one realized it until…

"ROB!" roared Slippy with anger, "How could you?"

"Sorry," said ROB apologetically.
