Chapter 2: Surviving
Krystal was running for her life as these things were running after her. The faster she ran the more she felt they got closer. Her eyes darted back, seeing the alien hive approaching her at quick speed. For things that are bulky, they were fast. She swung her staff again asn fire and ice projectiles of magic shot out and struck them, a few tumbling by the pain of her magic staff and others getting scorched or scratched a bit. The aliens picked up the pace, determined to kill her now.
One Xenoreaper lunged at her with its maw opened up to sink into her flesh. Seeing this Krystal activated another spell on her staff, using Rocket Booster and giving her a boost in speed to avoid the attack. She got at it with a fire blast, at the arm arm and it's arm fell off as liquid nitrogen fell on her suit. She knew the liquid nitrogen was dangerous and quickly tore off her suit to keep the acid from hitting her skin. Her suit frozen up into nothing but ash as she continued running. Trying a method to slow them down, Krystal swung her staff as it released ice and created a thick wall of Ice, letting her run further and buy her some time. She saw an elevator and ran to it. She quickly pressed the button to make the elevator go down. She saw the ice starting to crack and melt with each passing second.
"Come on, come on!" She frantically spoke as the doors started closing one of the alien's claws grab the door and rip it open. it then scream at her but the doors shut as the xenoreaper was decapitated. As the elevator went down, Krystal slid against the wall and took her breather, lucky to have avoided a very close brush of death.
"Thank Gods." She muttered to herself. A few moments later, she reached the bottom of the station and exited, her staff ready in case of an ambush. The doors open up and blinding light was in her vision.
"GET THAT FUCKER!" A first voice snapped.
"KILL THAT XENOREAPER!" a second voice bellowed.
"KILL IT!" a third voice screamed. At that, Krystal was clobbered and pinned by dozens of unknown survivors.
"WAIT IT'S NOT A XENOREAPER!" an ordering voice said. The paws retracted and the lights dimmed a bit as Krystal finally saw civilians like her around her as she slowly grabbed her staff and got up.
"By Aniu we're saved." One furry spoke.
Krystal saw the furries around her giving relieved smiles, and even a few cubs with their parents. "Are you all the remaining survivors of this station?" She asked.
"Yes." Krystal got a better look at them and the females were big in size of their breasts and asses, with the males with huge bulges in their crotches. With the females wearing dresses and the males wearing suits.
"Please tell me a fleet of warships came here to get us out." a cub said in hope and fear.
Krystal can't lie to them to get their hopes up for a moment, but didn't want to make them feel horrid to this situation….until she sighed. "Me and a couple others came here to look for any ships that were lost in this section. We encountered the Xenoreapers, but we underestimated them. Our weapons were not able to damage them, so far, I was able to drive them off with my staff." She explained, holding her staff out.
"Your a mage?" a female asked.
"Yes, and a telepathic user." She nodded.
"Oh thank the Goddess." a male said.
Krystal heard HEAVY footsteps behind the civilians. They moved as two bulky armored beings approached. One resembled of that of a wolf while the second resembled that of a Dragon.
"...what is your name?" The wolf one asked in a dark and frightening demonic voice.
Krystal gulped. "M-My name is Krystal, team member of Star Fox." She greeted a bit stuttered.
"Mommy mommy she said she from Star Fox is that the on with Fox Mccloud?" A cub asked her mother.
"Yes sweetie, it is." She smiled.
"How long have you all been living down here?" Krystal asked them.
"...Hundred and fifty years and it get kind of board down here."
"..Where are the dead you know from old ago." she ask them but they laugh a little bit.
"We're ageless." A female replied.
"What? But how?" She asked them.
"Nanobots." A male replied.
Krystal remembered that word back when she got hurt, hearing about it. She then realized her team was still out in the station. "Hold on one sec." She pulled her com out and contacted Fox. "Fox, this is Krystal, can you hear me?"
"Krystal!? Thank God you're ok. Where are you?" The leader asked from the other side.
"I'm below the station. I found the remaining survivors of the station." She replied.
"Ok oh no RUN!" the connection was cut off.
"Fox!? FOX!" The vixen called, but no prevail.
(With Fox)
Fox and his team ran for their lives as a few dozen of the Xenoreapers chasing Krystal came back and started chasing the others.
"It'd be nice to have Krystal's staff by now!" Falco stated as they avoided another blast.
"FUCK! That shit burns and it doesn't even need to touch you!" Slippy shouted in pain as his shirt burned.
"Keep running!" Fox shouted as they kept running. They dodged another strike before seeing an open door up ahead. "In there!" They got through as Slippy shut it tight and force fields powered, but saw steam coming out.
"That door's not gonna hold forever." Falco stated as they backed up. Fox soon bumped into something and turned around. It was a weapon, but different to the ones he uses. It looked to be some kind of assault rifle back in the olden days with a few mags filled up.
"What is that and what are these metal thing?" Fox said in confusion, holding up one of the bullets. A loud bashing heard from the door.
"I don't know, but that weapon better hurt these things!" Falco stated as the door started giving away. Fox raise the weapons and it was far heavier than whatever he hold before he aim at the door as the Xenoreapers finally come throw, Fox fired and with a LOUD bang the Xenoreaper exploded in a shower of gore.
"Holy shit!" Slippy gasped in shock.
Fox himself was shocked as he looked at the weapon he used. The recoil of the weapon hurt his shoulder as he rubbed it in pain. "What kind of weapon is this?"
"Who cares! At least now we can fight back against these sons of bitches!" Falco laughed.
"Don't fire to much it kicks back." Slippy informes.
"That's weird and noted." Fox nodded. With the weapon in hand, they moved out and quickly headed down to where Krystal ran off. Fox pulled his Com out. "Krystal are you still there?"
"Y-w-ab-ou?" She asked but was a little off.
"Say that again, Krystal. I'm getting static." Fox mentioned.
Nothing came through after that.
(With Krystal)
"Darn it." Krystal freak out about her com not working and reaching Fox. But at least she knew he was ok for now.
"Don't worry about them i'm sure they will make it." a male with a weird accent that was a german shepard. She gave a nod in understanding that they'll pull through for a while longer without her.
"Miss krystal?" The dragon soldier came over to talk to her.
"Y-yes sir?" She asked.
"Follow me." The soldier move to the a makeshift medical room and saw the Cornerian miners.
"They're all alive…" She breathed to see the miners in one peace.
"My brother and I saw them when they came to this section near our station. We had to pull them out of space and into the hanger and down here to prevent them from getting killed from the alien scum. It was close a few times, but at least no one got killed." The dragon soldier explained.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome. I'm just happy you and your team are still alive. Even without nanobots as well. You and your team are very skilled to have survived this long against them."
"Thanks um what else do these nanobots do?"
The dragon chuckled. "Nanobots are specialized pieces of machinery that are injected into your blood. With this, you'll be ageless, your wounds will regenerate faster than you can think and you'll be smarter than before. You also don't need to eat or sleep."
"Amazing…" she breathed in awe.
"If you like after we deal with the Xenoreapers, we can give you and your team nanobots."the other giant come in and look at Krystal with a conscious look..or as conscious as a person in power armor could.
"Something I can help you with?" She asked the bulky giant.
"What did you us to get on this station?" He asked. Krystal took a chip out and showed him the new Great Fox she and the team ride in before getting to the Arwings.
"Are these fighter?"
"Yes?"
"What?" He said..
"Is that a problem?" She questioned him.
"You don't use fighters in space"
"What?" Krystal grew shocked to the warriors answer. "But why not? How do you handle battling opponents in space?"
"By the time you give a fighter enough delta-v capacity to reach the enemy, fire, and come back, not to mention life support and controls and you're at the point that an advanced cruise missile or even a disposable missile platform would work better, be cheaper, and actually perform better."
Krystal nodded a bit to his explanation, but still quite surprised.
Soon, the dragon armored one spoke, "Brother, I think it would be best if I head up to the station and find Fox and the others."
"Ok, go and take a chemthrower." The second replied. Nodding, the dragon grabbed a large and unusual like flamethrower, before the doors opened.
"I'll radio you if anything goes wrong. I will be sure to find them and bring them here to safety." The dragon soldier spoke, as he walked out and the doors closed. The armored wolf nodded then look at Krystal.
"Your brother is a brave soul, fighting against these salvaging aliens." The vixen spoke.
"Krystal that hive is a mini hive." The warrior spoke. "We have encountered and killed hives that are a hundred times bigger than the one you and the others encountered."
"W-what?" she stuttered.
"Yea oh and.."
Boop. he surprised Krystal by booping her nose. A small blush graced her cheeks as she held the area where he touched her nose.
"W-w-why did you do that?" She stuttered a bit.
"Well you need to be happy and don't think about the bad times." His words soothed her down, as a small smiled of gratitude grew on her lips.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome now if you follow me." they left and went into a huge room with thousands of services in it all look at their weapons even some old weapons like swords, hammers, and maces.
Krystal was shocked by the display of weaponry, before turning to the giant. "If you have this many weapons, and killed Xenoreaper hives that are bigger than the one on the station, why didn't you all attack?"
"We can't the evilitor lonly let up a dozen at a time, by the time we get a second party up there the first on will already be dead..plus we are refurbishing an old ship to take us out of here, we just need to blow up the bottom of the station to do so." The wolf warrior explained.
"Then why can't you blow out the section of the station with the rockets and bombs you have?" The vixen questioned.
"The armor is rated for high teraton worth of damage, me and my brother have been looking around for bombs but we only got a few so far."
"You believe the other bombs are out in the station?"
"Oh yes there are a few anti-matter bombs in one of the hangers..in the middle of the station."
"I see…"
(With Fox and the others)
Able to deal with the Xenoreapers that they encountered, Fox and his team moved out through the station to find Krystal.
"You think she's ok, Fox?" Slippy asked his leader.
"I hope so, Slips." Fox replied with a little worry in his choice of words. their weapons started to make click sounds and they couldn't fire anymore.
"Well that's just great." Falco grumbled, placing the weapon on his then heard screeching. "Oh fuck! Out of all times now!" They turned as they saw a dozen Xenoreapers racing towards them.
"RUN!" Fox yelled as they booked it. They ran through the station, avoiding their upcoming strikes and attacks, until…
"Dead end!" Slippy gasped. They turned back as they saw the aliens trapping them, slowly approaching in their pouncing positions. Saliva dripping from their maws, eyes locked onto them as they see their next meal in front of them.
"Fox," Falco spoke as he placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's been a fun ride, old friend...I'm happy to have been part of this team."
"Me too, Fox." Slippy added, placing his hand on his leader's shoulder.
Fox looked at the two with a small smile. "It's been an honor Falco, Slippy." The three closed their eyes and waited for their death. "I love you all…" The aliens screeched and hurled at the team.
"Fox I..love you." Falco cried as he took Fox paw in his claw and shut his eyes.
Out of the bloom, a crimson acid burst out as it burned the aliens, making them screech in pain, until they into nothing but goo, but disintegrated into nothing.
"You three with Krystal?" They opened their eyes as they saw a bulky black armored warrior of a dragon with a large chemthrower weapon on him.
"You know Krystal?" Fox asked in surprise.
"Yes, your friend is safe at the bottom of the station with my brother and the survivors. I came up to this section to find you three." He explained. Falco then realise where his claw is and moved it away with his face all red.
"Falco, you said something a moment ago, something about me. What did you say?" Fox asked his feathery ally.
"Nothing I said nothing." Falco replied with his face still red.
"Fox, can you get connection to your home planet and get reinforcements, or do you have any other allies waiting in your ship?" The dragon armored being asked check his comm for anything but it was all static to him.
"No i'm sorry." He frowned.
"It's ok. What about your ship. Any others that can help us?"
"I have my robot Rob that's in control of our mothership a few klick from the station."
"So they haven't recruited Fay and Miyu yet. Guess I meet them soon." The warrior thought in his mind. "I see. Either way, I'll take you three under the station to see Krystal again." He guided them quickly and quietly through the station as they made it to the elevator. They went down to the bottom as they made it to the door and Daniel opened it. Upon entering, the three saw the remaining survivors of the station.
"Is that the group that came to with the blue vixen?" a cub asked her daddy.
"That would be them sweetie." her father smiled, hugging her.
Team Star Fox moved through out the make shift defense as they soon come up to Krystal and the other giant.
"Krystal!" Fox shouted as he made a sprint to her.
"Fox!" The vixen cried in relief, running to him and the two embraced in a loving hug.
"I was so worried…" Krystal sniffed, gripping him tightly.
"Brother we need to talk." the wolf giant said to the other. He nodded as the two left the team and into a private room to speak.
"What's going on bro?" The dragon asked.
"I think we need to make a execution by firing squad and have team Star Fox as targets." the other giant said.
"What WHY!?"
"They are heretics bro."
"Why are they Heretics?"
"They don't know who Aniu is."
"Of course they wouldn't know man. We're in a different Universe with new furries that don't know anything about us or our ways of war and our Goddess."
"True come on let's go talk to them."
"Don't kill them, bro."
"I won't bro." Nodding, the two returned to the team as Krystal and Fox were still hugging each other.
"Fox do you use a fighter?" The wolf giant asked. Fox broke the hug with Krystal and faced them.
"Yes, me and my team use fighters called arwings." He replied.
"*Sign* I had this talk with Krystal already but why do you us fighters in space?"
"Why wouldn't we? We've been in wars that dealt with battles in space."
"I'm going to say this to you now By the time you give a fighter enough delta-v capacity to reach the enemy, fire, and come back, not to mention life support and controls and you're at the point that an advanced cruise missile or even a disposable missile platform would work better, be cheaper, and actually perform better."
"Wha...oh...I didn't know that." Fox said in surprise.
"..Come with me." they follow the giant as he saw hundreds of civilians will guns and medieval weapons as well. They then end up to the engineering part of the place and saw hundreds of engineers working on a old second generation space war ship.
"Wow…" Slippy breathed in awe.
"Yup had to take a part ten Yamato-class battleship twelve Iowa-class battleship and fighty msc oscar cargo ships to put her together we're still missing a few pieces of her but she'll fly." The wolf explained.
"What parts are missing?" Krystal asked.
"Well the power supply and we need printers along with a FTL drive." The dragon mentioned.
"Printers?" Falco asked.
"They take one atom and make a 'big bang effect' that make almost anything you want but most of the ones on the stations are destroyed." the wolf explained.
"...what do these printers look like?" Fox asked.
"They look like a flat floor with about two cranes on them." the wolf answered.
Fox thought back for a while, until his eyes widened. "I saw something like that a little while ago before your brother found us."
"Good but we need that reactor first to power up the printers."
"What did the reactor look like?" Slippy asked next.
"We we're thinking of taking the station reactor."
"I did refix the reactor when we first got here, so I can be able to take it with ease." The mechanic frog spoke.
"Do you know what it uses for power?"
"No?"
"It creates a micro universe to power the station."
"THAT much?" Slippy gawked.
"Yes why?"
"We don't use that much energy in our ships. That much power alone is enough to power...three trillion of our ships." the frog explained.
"Oh..ok."
"Either way, we'll get that reactor and the printer." Fox nodded.
"Donny?~~~~" said a sexy but yet husky female voice.
"Fucking shit...how did you get out of your Crystal?" The dragon groaned, turning to see a dragon anthro, with a sexy body and H-cup breasts with a 114.3 centimeters (45 inch) rear.
"NOT NOW WE ARE BUSY!" The other snapped at her.
"Sugar, we'll talk later, now's not the time." The dragon spoke to her.
"Fine but you can't wait forever donny.~~~" She purred as she vanished.
"Uh….who was that?" Fox asked while he and his team had either hard ons or were blushing.
The dragon sighed. "That was Sugar, my dragon friend, ally and mate."
"We're trying to survive and all she thinks about is him." His brother replied.
"I know, I just wish she takes life and our problems more seriously."
"Yea oh which reminds me you four are going to get nanobots now." The wolf held out four syringes with needles and nanobots inside.
"N..needles?" Slippy almost fainted.
"It's the only way to inject the nanobots inside you all." The dragon giant explained.
"Come into the room so you don't freak everyone out." The wolf giant went into a room near by which had some weapons parts.
"So what will these nanobots do to us?" Fox asked the giant.
"The nanobots will give you the ability to think much faster than normal, regenerate wounds at a rapid pace, and you'll become ageless." The wolf giant answered.
"And you don't need to eat or sleep plus you can.."grow" new organs." The dragon giant answered as well.
"All that from those little robots?" Falco questioned.
"Yes." The wolf nodded.
"We will warn you though, the process of using the nanobots when you first inject them...will be very painful, since they will start making your body stronger." The dragon mentioned.
"How painful is very painful?" Slippy asked.
"Like a Xenoreaper hatchling is devouring your insides." The giants answered.
"I um..I think I'll pass on it thank you." Slippy shivered.
"I know it sounds scary and it will be painful, but think of what you'll all accomplish if you have them. Able to win so many wars without hesitation, learn new things you can ever imagine, and even live to see your great, great, great grand cubs." The dragon mentioned.
The team looked at one another about this. All of it sounds amazing to say the least, but were a little scared, until, They answered. "I..ok."
"Good, now who would like to go first?" The wolf asked.
"I'll go first." Fox said as he step forward. The giant nodded, grabbing one of the systems and aiming the needle at his vein.
"Brace yourself Fox. This will he the worst pain you'll ever endure." At his words, he injected the needle into his vein and pumped the nanobots into his blood. A second later, he pulled the needle back.
"FUUUUUUCKKKKKK!" Immense pain swelled in fox's body. The agony burning weakened him, collapsing on the ground, spacing and screaming in pain.
"FOX!" the other was about to help their leader.
"Stop anyone touch him and you make it worst." The wolf spoke.
"But he's hurt!" Krystal stated in terror for his safety.
"I know, but that's the nanobots making him stronger. He'll be fine in a few minutes." The dragon replied.
Fox slowly got up as his body felt...different but his clothes were slightly rip, showing that his body was way more developed than before, muscles shot out as if he trained for many years.
"Oh my…" Krystal blushed at how much more buff and muscular Fox was now, even Falco was blushing.
"What do you think Fox?" The wolf giant asked.
"That...was a pain...but...damn I feel...smarter and stronger than before." Fox chuckled lightly, rubbing his new developed bicep.
"Would you like to know what they did to your body?"
"If I'm like this now, I'll need to know." He nodded in reply.
"You now have two hearts and you have four lungs that can make you breath in toxic or even in space even under water, your blood now carry oxygen and nutrients more efficiently but your blood is brighter in color and you can eat anything, and you can now see in inver-red and see in the dark like it a clear day and your senses in smell and hearing are more advanced than before, so you can hear or smell out your opponents if they're hiding in a battle and you are immune to dizziness or motion sickness. And you can't get poison." The wolf explained.
"Incredible. I never knew the nanobots would have such a change to my body." Fox was amazed by the display of change that the little bots made to his body.
"Now, who would like to go next?" The dragon asked, looking at the other three.
"I'll go." Krystal then came up next.
"Alright, brace yourself, Krystal." The dragon giant pressed the needle into her vein and pumped the nanobots into her body. When done, he removed the needle as they all stood back. Immediately, Krystal screamed in pain, falling to the ground, clutching her pained body, wailing and crying. She soon got up a few minutes later when the pain died down with a new developed body.
Her body was a lot more muscular now, a great and curved hourglass figure, wide hips that would sway seductively, her breasts were now a few sizes bigger and her rear and thighs were now bigger thanks to her new muscles.
"Whoa…" Fox blushed at her new gorgeous beauty as the brothers were blushing in their helmets to how hot she looked.
"Falco, Slippy who want to go next?" The dragon asked the two.
"Might as well get it done." Falco nodded, stepping up. Like before they injected the bots, he was in pain, until later, the process was complete and he was more buffed than before.
"Are you ready Slippy?" The wolf asked.
Slippy was a little nervous because of taking a needle, but he nodded and held his arm out. They injected the nanobots into him as he soon yelled in pain and thrashed on the ground, until he finally relaxed, more muscular than before with a buffier figure.
"Now get some rest all of you we need earn it." The wolf Giant said to Star Fox. They nodded and were escorted out of the room, as they were taken to their rooms for rest. When they left, the giants sighed as they sat down.
"Bro, you know we have tomorrow to get outta here. If we stay another night, the Xenoreapers will find us and kill us." The dragon Giant spoke up.
"I know i'm still surprised they haven't found us yet." the wolf replied.
"Hello" said a new voice it sound german. They turned as they were met with one of the engineers of the station.
"Hello, how's the repairs going?" The wolf asked.
"Good we're going to started loading everyone in the ship but we need the printers and the station power plant." He explained/
"Alright. Thank you." He nodded as he left the two.
"Bro, you and I are the best of getting them all out. We'll have to go into teams with fox and his team to get the printers and the power plant." The dragon spoke.
"But all we have are kevlar vest for them and a few extra mags of ammo for our weapons." The wolf explained.
"I know, but if we don't act, we'll all die. This is our only chance we have to get outta here, or we will be the Xenoreapers next food supply...and you know what happens when they have a leader evolving."
"Yea i know get a flamethrower and i'll get my Flammenwerfer 35." The two left to prepare their final stand to get everyone off the station. This will be a battle through hell, that they will ever experience.
