Fox x Krystal: The Vixen Explorer and Mummy King Ch 3: King Fox McCloud's Past
At the other chamber of the tomb, Krystal is sitting in front of Fox at the table.
"I am very glad to have dinner with you. I never had a date with a mummy." Krystal said.
"I am happy that you have accepted my offer." Fox affectionately said.
Krystal started blushing.
Then, Falco, Katt, Slippy and Amanda arrived with the delicious Atonkhamen Suntek. The Atonkhamen Suntek is made out of pork and beef mixed in the great Arwingyptian spices, grapes, asparagus and blue berries. It is fresh and cooked in perfection.
Krystal is amazed that the food is fresh.
"How in the world? I thought the food will be old." Krystal asked.
"The food is kept fresh for all eternity thanks to the mixture of Arwingyptian's magic and technology." Slippy explained.
"Wow." Krystal said in amazement.
Krystal tasted the delicious Arwingyptian meal and smiled.
"That is delicious." Krystal said.
"My people eat those yummy Arwingyptian meals in my kingdom. My friends eat with me at the royal dining hall." Fox explained.
"That is true." Falco said.
Falco, Katt, Slippy and Amanda are eating Atonkhamen Suntek.
"Even your servants and friends also eat the delicious meal." Krystal asked.
"Yep." Fox answered.
Fox begins eating the meal.
Krystal is confused about Fox eating the meal. Although King Fox McCloud is a mummy.
"Fox." Krystal said.
"Yes." Fox replied.
"I wonder. How in the world you can eat after you have been mummified? Your stomach has been removed." Krystal asked.
"It is true. My stomach has been removed. When I eat and swallow my food it will be magically transported to my stomach." Fox answered.
Krystal became grossed out.
"Is it okay if I tell her how Fox digest his meal?" Falco asked.
"No Falco." Katt answered.
"Sorry for grossing you out." Fox apologized.
"That is okay. I will feel fine." Krystal accepted.
After dinner, Fox is walking with Krystal along with Falco, Katt, Slippy and Amanda.
"That is a great meal Fox." Krystal complimented.
"Thanks." Fox said.
"I am confused still. I wonder how I could read your thoughts. The mummy's brain has been removed." Krystal asked.
"The Arwingyptian gods gave me great knowledge. You can read my mind while my brain is gone." Fox answered.
"I am more concerned. If your bandages are gone will you turn to dust?" Krystal asked in worry.
"I will show it to you." Fox answered.
Fox removed all of his bandages off from his body and he didn't turn to dust. But, he has some fur and flesh. He is still wearing his royal Arwingyptian outfit.
"Oh. That is amazing." Krystal said while she blushed.
"After we removed bandages from our bodies we won't turn to dust." Falco explained.
"The only thing that Fox had is his heart." Slippy asked.
"Really?" Krystal said.
Slippy got the Arwingyptian X-Ray coin and puts it on Fox's chest. The coin uses its magic revealing an image of Fox's heart.
"If his heart is destroyed then King Fox will die." Slippy explained.
"Oh my." Krystal said in worry.
"I know." Fox said while he is comforting Krystal.
"I want to know how you lived and how you became a mummy." Krystal asked.
"Okay. I will tell you a story of my life." Fox said.
"It is a long time ago after I have defeated the evil Andross and avenge my father's death.
(Flashback to 4000 years ago)
In Ancient Arwingypt, the people are celebrating Fox McCloud's victory after the death of Andross. The Arwingyptians are setting up decorations for Prince Fox's coronation. The people are happy about having a new Pharaoh.
At the palace, Fox McCloud is a prince of Arwingypt and is ready to become the Pharaoh. Fox is looking at his flight jacket in his closet.
Then a rabbit named Peppy arrived.
"Are you ready to become Pharaoh?" Peppy asked.
Fox looked at Peppy.
"Yes. I am ready to live up to my father's legacy." Fox answered.
"Eversince your father died saving me from Pigma he was remembered as a great pilot and ruler. But, now he became a mummy and sealed in the pyramid." Peppy explained.
Fox is still sad about his father has passed away.
"But, now you will rule his kingdom as the new Pharaoh and make your father proud." Peppy comforted Fox.
"Yes. I will become a great Pharaoh and live up to my father's legacy." Fox said with pride.
Fox then walks out of his royal chambers and head to his royal throne room.
At the royal throne room, Fox had finally appeared and slowly walks down the aisle. The Arwingyptians started bowing down to Fox. Falco, Katt, Slippy and Amanda are next to Fox's throne chair smiling happily. Fox had made it to the throne and sits down. Falco, Katt, Slippy and Amanda kneeled to Fox. Peppy arrived along with the vizier. The vizier is a wolf wearing a shendyt, gold eyepatch and false beard on his chin named Wolf O' Donelle. Peppy got the scroll and reads out loud.
"Loyal people of Arwingypt. Eversince our late Pharaoh James McCloud is now mummified and buried in the tomb after Pigma betrayed and killed him. His son Fox McCloud has fought Andross with the help of his team Star Fox to kill Pigma and Andross thus saving the Lylat System. The Prince used his great Arwing and saved us. Now, Fox McCloud will become our new Pharaoh of Arwingypt and lead us to a peaceful and great dynasty." Peppy announced.
"Fox McCloud will be a better ruler and lead us to a grand dynasty and create a better future for the kingdom." Wolf added.
Fox stands up.
"I, Fox McCloud will become a better ruler. I will live up to my father's legacy and rule Arwingypt." Fox accepted.
Then the servants brought the Nemes crown and the crook and flail.
"The day has come." Peppy grabbed the Nemes Crown and placed it on Fox's head.
"We should call you the new Pharaoh, King Fox McCloud." Peppy announced.
Fox picked up the crook and flail and crossed his arms. The people of Arwingypt cheered for the new Pharaoh. Fox walked out to the balcony and see his people bowing down to him and praising him.
Fox is now the new Pharaoh of Arwingypt.
Later at night, the people went to the palace for the banquet. King Fox is watching his people having conversations, eating and drinking. The female vixens are dancing for King Fox's entertainment. Fox McCloud is enjoying the fun and festivities.
"So, Fox. How do you like the vixens dancing?" Falco said.
"It is fun." Fox answered. "I am glad that I have become a Pharaoh and a great space pilot."
"That is good to hear that." Falco said.
Outside at the palace, a sharpclaw assassin is carrying a bow and arrow and aims it at Fox's head.
"Enjoy your afterlife, King Fox." The sharpclaw assassin said.
The assassin fired the arrow.
King Fox saw the arrow coming and used his reflector to bounce the arrow back at the assassin. This causes the assassin to get hit in the arrow and is wounded.
Everyone is shocked to see Fox defending himself against the assassin.
"Fox!" Peppy shouted and ran up to him. "Are you okay?"
"I am fine." Fox answered. "If it wasn't for my reflector device. I would've been dead and become a mummy." Fox said as he holds his royal reflector device.
The royal jackal guards appeared and checked on Fox.
"Are you alright sire?" The jackal guard said.
"I am fine." Fox replied.
The royal guards are relieved that their Pharaoh is okay.
The wounded sharpclaw assassin arrived and is slowly dying.
"You will die King Fox." The sharpclaw assassin said in pain.
"Who are you and why do you want me killed?" Fox demanded.
"Your kingdom will be conquered by General Scales and you will fall by his might." The assassin said his final words and died.
Fox begins to notice that General Scales plans on conquering his royal kingdom.
"I have notice that my enemy General Scales plans on killing me and conquering my kingdom. I have vowed to defend my kingdom and protect my people." Fox narrated.
(Flashback Ends)
"Wow." Krystal said in amazement.
"Yep." Fox agreed. "Also, I can summon bandages to wrap my body up."
Then, Fox snapped his fingers. The bandages magically appeared and wrapped Fox's body. Krystal is surprised about that.
"How in the world do you do that?" Krystal asked.
Fox unwrapped his face.
"I am a great magical mummy." Fox answered.
"Cool." Krystal blushed.
"I will continue with my story." Fox said.
Fox begins to tell his story about his battle against General Scales.
