Chapter 2: Krystal who?

He wandered through the darkness, searching for what could not be found. The darkness was a maze of twist and turns, all paths leading to nowhere. He soon came across a fork in the road, there was no sign but somehow he knew where each led. The right led to a life of the unknown and unaware. The left led to a life of searching and forgotten memories. He couldn't decide. He had a feeling that both would lead to no good end. Time pasted and he still was in the exact same spot. He couldn't turn back because there was nothing there for him. A wind blew gently past him, it carried a whisper. A voice that couldn't be heard but was its meaning was clearly understandable. It called out to him. It was desperate but unyielding. After this he realized which way he must go. He turned to the paths and chose neither. He walked in between them, The Path to Twilight. When he took the 7th step on the path, a figure grew out of the shadows, a figure in pain.

His eyes shot open. He could recall where he was or what had happened. He slowly lifted himself up; his entire body was aching especially his chest and his leg. Propping himself up with his arms, he stared around the room. It was just a plain white room; the curtain veiled what was on the other side, to his left was an old oak table that had a "Get Well Soon" card on top of it, and another curtain hung over where the window was suppose to be. He looked down to his bedside; he saw a female fennec breathing silently. She was sleeping. When he plopped back down onto his pillow, the fennec stirred and lifted her head up. She rubbed the sleepiness out of her eyes; she drew back slightly in surprise at how much earlier he awoke than expected. Tears formed in her eyes and she shot forward and clamped her arms around Fox. "Oh Fox! I was so worried." She wept into his chest. Fox winced and pushed her back, she looked a little confused as he rubbed his chest. Her eyes still filled with tears, expressed concern. She put a comforting paw a small distance from his chest, "Oh I'm sorry Fox, I didn't mean to hurt you." She said with sincerity.

Fox dismissed this with a wave "Its okay" he turned his head a got a good look at the fennec's face "Do I know you?" She blinked in confusion and tilted her head a little to the side, and gave him a 'what-are-you-talking-about' look. "Fox, did you bump your head? It's me Fara." Fox gave a strained look and finally remembered, somewhat. "Fara? Fara Phoenix?" Her eyes glimmered then she shot forward, avoiding his chest this time. "OH FOX, you remember. I was worried that you may have lost your memory."

After a few more minutes of Fara clinging onto Fox, Katt walked in with Falco followed not far behind. Katt was carrying a batch of flowers and Falco hid a 'Hope You Feel Better Soon' balloon behind his back. Katt gasped "He's already awake? He's supposed to be unconscious for another week or so." A smile spread across Katt's face, "I guess it's actually better this way." Falco looked around Katt to see Fox, a smile spread across his face too, "So mister crash and burn, how ya feelin?" Fox couldn't help grinning as well, "Good to see you too Falco" he turned his head to acknowledge the feline "and you too Katt." Fara stood up and began to walk out, "I've had my time with him, I guess it's fair for you 2 to have the same." And she walked out and closed the door behind her. Falco spoke again "so how's the hospital life, treating ya?" Fox gave another small grin "I wouldn't know I've been unconscious until today, remember?"

"Oh……." Falco blushed and looked away, and Katt giggled. Fox let out a little laugh "ha…….so how did I get to the hospital anyways, the last thing I remember is the crash" Fox closed his eyes and put a hand to the side of his face, trying to remember "and……… voices………and everything else is just an unclear image." He looked back up "oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter since I'm alive right now." He looks around Falco to see if anyone is behind him "Hey Falco, have you seen Krystal anywhere? I need to talk to her." Falco looked back at Fox with a confused look, same with Katt. "Krystal? Who's is that?"

"Stop playing around, this is important." Falco just stared blankly back at Fox "Fox, I'm not playing around. I seriously don't know a person or fur named Krystal." Fox turned to Katt "Katt, will you make Falco stop kidding around." Katt diverted her eyes. "Katt?"

"Well, if he was kidding around or I knew this person, I would, but……….. I don't know who you are talking about either." Fox was stunned. He turns back to Falco, "Do you at least remember that mission I had on dinosaur planet?" Falco tapped the bottom of his chin and thought "I do recall a place called dinosaur planet, but I still don't recall any person named Krystal." Fox huffed, "Peppy filled you in on all the details of that mission right? Well he must have told you that I had to use Krystal's magical staff to fight." Falco started to look extremely confused "Peppy did fill me in on all of the details, but he said you brought your blaster and a couple ammo cartridges. I don't think he mentioned anything about magic or a staff." Fox rolled his eyes, "Oh come on Falco! How hard is it to remember a blue vixen?" Falco and Katt looked at each other, then back to Fox "a blue vixen…….. great what's next a purple panda?" Fox sighed, "Ah whatever, I'm going to look for her myself." Fox threw the sheets over and hopped out of the bed but only to slip and meet shoulder-first with the ground. Katt held onto one arm while Falco helped with the other, "Fox, what are you trying to do" Katt preached "your leg hasn't fully healed yet, and on top of that your trying to walk with a cast around your foot." Fox was now back on the bed. "And besides" Katt continued as she threw the blankets back over him "what is so important about you talking to this 'Krystal', that you would risk making your wounds even worse?"

Fox rolled his eyes again "well for one, she's my girlfriend, two-" Falco cut him off. Falco waved his hand, telling Fox to stop "wait, wait, wait, wait did you just say that this vixen is your 'Girlfriend'?"

"Yes I did, is there something wrong with that?"

"Actually there is, you already have a girlfriend" Fox gave Falco a curious look "and who, may I ask, would that be?" Falco gestured with his thumb to the door "Fara Phoenix"

Fox nearly toppled out of his bed, "WHAT? Since when?" Falco counted with his fingers "um………. I'd say about 4 years, give or take 2 years." Fox closed and rubbed his eyes trying to sort out all of this information in his mind. "Look, just forget the matter for now and help me out of this bed." Fox started getting up but Katt pushed him back down "Wooh slow down cowboy, look we'll make you a deal." Fox nodded and relaxed back into the bed "I'm listening."

"Get well now, and then we'll discuss this matter later. And if you somehow manage to heal 'COMPLETELY' by 5th of May, then we'll help you on your little search, okay?" Falco pulled Katt back and whispered "what do you mean 'we', and how exactly, by any chance, are we going to help him find someone. We're in a middle of a planetary war right now!" Fox was still trying to decide, and Katt whispered back "well, if we encourage him, then he'll get better faster and get back onto the battlefield faster. Where he is needed."

Fox finally decided, "I guess I have no choice, I'll accept the deal." Katt broke away from the huddle "I guess this matter is settled for now" Fox and Katt shook hands, and then Katt picked up the gifts and left them on the table "This issue shall be continued, when you are better" Katt started for the door, then grabbed Falco's shirt collar and continued, "And Fox, get plenty of rest, you'll need it." They exited.

Fox turned over to the side and rested on his shoulder, he could hear a faint sound of a conversation going on from behind the door. It was probably Falco and Katt discussing what they talked about with Fox. He yawned and his eyes slowly closed, he seemed exhausted from discovering all of this information. He spoke in a whisper "I need to find her" He yawned again, almost asleep "no matter what."

"I must find………." Sleep enveloped him.

Krystal……………………………..
