A clear sky shone over the Krazoa Palace on Dinosaur Planet. The spirits had been returned, and all was peaceful once again. The SharpClaw soldier patrolling the roof was taking a small break. Nothing ever happens here anymore, he thought. All we do is sit around and laze. Life was much more exciting when I worked for the General.
Many years ago, Fox McCloud had defeated General Scales and his manipulator, the mad Venomian scientist Andross. The evil General that had oppressed the SharpClaw, making them act as soldiers, had fallen in the final Krazoa Shrine, though everyone still wasn't quite sure how it had happened. But the point was that Scales was finally defeated.
Suddenly a sound came from the direction of the sixth Krazoa Shrine. The SharpClaw leapt up, his spear in his hands, calling, "Who's there? Show yourself!" He walked to the Shrine entrance portal, seeing no one around. Could they have gone into the Shrine? he thought curiously, stepping onto the warp.
He was gripped for a moment with the strange feeling of disintegration, then reintegration. At his presence, the gate of the Shrine opened, and he stepped in. "Who's there?" he called once again.
The SharpClaw barely saw a green flash before twin hooks raked across his face, and the force of the blow knocked him out. Stepping onto the exit was a huge, hulking Sharpclaw. He was clad in form-hugging leather armor, a horned helmet on his head, and bore a large, golden, single-edged sword sheathed at his side. His left hand had been replaced by a two-pronged metal claw.
Teleporting out of the shrine, the large Sharpclaw stepped out into the orange light of the setting sun and let out a roar. General Scales had returned.
Krystal suddenly grasped her head and screamed. Fox turned around, alert. "Krystal! what's wrong?" Krystal looked at Fox with tears in her eyes. "I just felt a mighty evil presence at Krazoa Palace. We have to stop it!" Krystal bounded up to the WarpStone before Fox could respond, but he took her word and followed.
"Ah, thah heroes of Dinosahr Planet! Where can ah send yah, mon?" the WarpStone said to Fox and Krystal. Fox spoke up. "We need to go to Krazoa Palace Immediately!" The WarpStone raised a stone eyebrow in confusion, but did not question his users. The two teammates climbed onto the WarpStone's hand as he blew his breath and sent them to their destination...
