by CoyoteN7

Coyote has nearly accomplished his mission: reform the old Starfox team. But the last member has been extremely elusive: his own sister, Kursed. With the help of Falco, Fox, and Slippy he must locate her and get Fox to confess. Yet, Coyote seeks aid from another person. Someone who could help or make the situation worse. Part 2 of the LCEF planned trilogy.

Epilogue

"Give me ONE good reason to not kill myself!" Coyote challenged. With the death of his teammates, his team wasn't a team anymore. He was so lost, lost in the void of anger, grief, and insanity. Everyone around him felt his pain, but not as much as he did. Steven, Mark, and Rick; his best friends, gone.

"We still need a leader! That's why we need you!" Fox tried to help. Then Coyote walked up to him and looked him in the eye and said:

"No, no I can't do it, I have no idea what to do right now. I was never meant to lead, I wasn't born that way. I go alone, or I take orders. This team needs a leader…and that's not me. It's you," Coyote put his hand on Fox's shoulder. "I'm resigning my position. LCEF has been disbanded. I am offering you my allegiance. This ship is yours. Take it or leave it." This talk was all Coyote needed to get the insanity and instability off of his chest. Fox was overwhelmed. Coyote had just brought back his old team without any loss from Fox. Then, Coyote loses nearly everything he loves, just to bring back a mercenary squad? This was enough to convince Fox to admit Coyote in.

"I will take it, you're in. And thank you for bringing the squad back. I owe you too much, but I have nothing to give you," Fox said.

"Thank you, that's all I needed," Coyote said and stormed out of the docking bay to his room. Fox turned to his newly reformed team and gave them a good look.

"So, you can join or not, it's up to you," Fox told them. Falco instantly walked up to him and shook his hand and nodded. Slippy did the same. He then turned to Krystal, battered and exhausted, she had gone through too much.

"Krystal, I'm so sorry," Fox said to her. "I was stupid to let you go, to turn you down, for everything."

"Good, because so am I," Krystal then ran up and hugged him. Fox was shocked by this. He didn't expect her to forgive him so fast. He accepted the hug and said:

"Thank you."

(So that's the end. I hope you enjoyed this short story as much as I did writing it. I can't wait to start Rise, and for Justin to meet Krystal hopefully in peace. See you next story!)
