Not far off from the prison of Garak, down the road, was a garage. Trucks stored there, along with fuel... not much, but enough for just a few people. Krystal, Wolf and Falco would be those people, as they broke into the garage and looked at one of the trucks. Wolf walked over and entered the driver's seat, turning on the truck as Falco opened the garage door.

"Where's your Nora?" Wolf asked.

"Just down the road," Falco said as he walked back to the truck, pointing in the direction, "That way." Falco jumped onto the back end of the truck and then extended his hand out to Krystal, helping the vixen onto the back of the truck with him and handing her a rifle. With Wolf driving, the truck started moving out of the garage.

"And, we're off." Wolf said excitedly as he drove the truck out of the the garage and started racing it down the road, rushing towards Nora's position. Krystal sighed relief as she sat on the bed of the truck with Falco. However, as the truck sped down the road, she started hearing sounds... sounds of engines approaching. Krystal looked over and saw several Venomian controlled trucks chasing after them.

"Oh shit," Falco exclaimed, "Wolf, we got some guys here having trouble saying good bye."

"Well, you guys got guns," Wolf said, "Hold them off."

Following Wolf's advice, Krystal and Falco fired their rifles at the incoming enemies, blasting them with laser fire. The enemy trucks, however, kept up the pursuit, with Venomian soldiers in them firing their guns back at the escapees. Wolf kept driving the truck down the road, manoeuvring away from the enemy trucks, but they continued to relentlessly chase after them, firing lasers upon them. Krystal fired her rifle and shot two Venomians as Falco shot down another, sending him flying off the truck. Falco gunned down another enemy as Krystal shot another two, but a Venomian on a trucked manned a mounted machine gun and fired upon them. Krystal and Falco took cover behind the walls lining their truck's bed, dodging the hail of gunfire.

Krystal took aim, pointing her rifle at the machine gunner. With careful aim, Krystal fired and shot down the machine gunner, while Falco took aim and gunned down the driver, causing the enemy truck to swerve off the road and roll into a nearby ditch. However, the other two trucks kept up the chase, with soldiers firing laser bolts at the three. As Wolf kept driving the truck, racing further down the road and manoeuvring away from the enemies, Krystal and Falco kept firing their rifles, gunning down a few soldiers and pinning the enemy trucks back. Krystal shot down another soldier, causing him to fall off the truck and roll away on the road, but a truck started to drive up next to Wolf. Once the truck was next to Wolf, he looked over to his left and saw an enemy attempt to aim at him. At that moment, however, Wolf swerved his truck and rammed the side of it into the enemy truck, sending it flying off the road and then ultimately crashing. Falco was a little shook by the impact of the the truck ramming into the other.

"Wolf, are you crazy?" Falco asked.

"Maybe a little," Wolf replied casually, "Just keep firing." Wolf continued driving down the road as one enemy truck remained to chase after them.

"Where the Hell's Nora?" Falco wondered out loud. Krystal looked to her right and saw Nora just down the road.

"There she is," Krystal pointed out, "Right there."

"Good eye, Krystal," Falco said, "Wolf, take us there."

"Finally!" Wolf exclaimed. While Krystal and Falco covered him with gunfire, Wolf drove down the road until he finally came to Nora and her ship, stopping on some ground off the road and just a few meters away from Nora's ship. Getting off the truck, Krystal, Wolf and Falco raced down to Nora's ship, a troop carrier, where they met Nora and a few Cornerian special forces soldiers. As Krystal approached the ship, she also saw her Sky Claw next to Nora's ship, already put into activation.

"We got Wolf, Nora." Falco said as he and Wolf approached the ship.

"Yeah," Nora spoke, "Looks like it." A Venomian truck came in, unloading several Venomian soldiers that started firing on them.

"Well, would you look at the time." Wolf said casually as he aimed himself towards Nora's ship.

"Come on, Wolf," Krystal said, "Get in the ship." Krystal fired her rifle at the Venomian soldiers as they approached. Nora and her Cornerian soldiers also fired at the Venomians while Wolf and Falco went into the ship, followed by the Cornerian soldiers. Krystal and Nora kept firing their guns at the Venomians, gunning a few of them down in a fierce gunfight.

"I already got your ship primed," Nora said to Krystal, "Get in and cover our escape."

"All right, Nora." Krystal said as Nora ran into her ship to take the pilot seat. Once Nora's ship started lifting off, Krystal fired some more laser at the Venomians, shooting a couple more down, and then she ran over to her Sky Claw and jumped into it, beginning to lift the ship off the ground and follow Nora into the sky, leaving the surface of Venom behind. The ships flew across the skies, preparing to leave Venom for good. As they soared across the rather dark skies that always clouded Venom, Krystal saw on her sensor that enemy ships were approaching, coming fast.

"We got bad guys approaching," Nora spoke, "Krystal, blow them out of the sky."

Upon listening to Nora's order, Krystal rolled her ship away and turned it to face the oncoming enemies. Once they were in range, Krystal soared her ship forward, firing the cannons at the incoming ships and shooting down two of them. The others dodged her fire and continued to work on pursuing her and Nora. However, Krystal kept chasing the enemy fighters, firing her ships cannons at them in a hail of laser fire. She shot down a few more fighters, but then found several others chasing after her. Krystal rolled away, but they continued the chase, so she performed a sharp spin that left her right behind the enemies. Krystal shot one of the enemies down and continued engaging the others in the sky during the fierce dog fight. As she shot down another few fighters, she saw some more enemies go after Nora's ship, so she rushed over to intercept. She fired a few laser bolts and shot down an enemy, causing a few to chase after her, but she dodged their laser fire shot shot two more of them down. Krystal flew her Sky Claw just behind Nora's pursuers and fired her cannons, shooting down the enemies.

"Good, Krystal," Nora spoke, "Just keep doing what your doing."

Krystal saw the other Venomians come up to challenge her, so she flew over to them and intercepted them with laser fire, holding them back. The vixen shot down a few more Venomian fighters as they closed in, then she spun around and shot a few more down. However, she saw several more enemies go after Nora and she turned to them. Suddenly, however, she found a few fighters chase after her in a heated pursuit, firing laser bolts at the vixen. Krystal manoeuvred the enemies, but they kept up the chase, managing to get a few hits on Krystal's ship. Krystal knew she had to be careful, as the Sky Claw was lightly armoured, so she just kept dodging the fire. She had to lose her pursuers fast, as she looked over and saw Nora being chased and fired upon.

"Krys, we need help." Nora stated.

"I'll be right there." Krystal replied.

The vixen then spun around and shot one of her pursuers down as the other two kept up. She then performed a loop, bringing her ship just behind the last two ships to shoot them down. She looked over and saw Nora's ship in trouble, as the Venomians kept firing upon her in a hail of laser, further damaging the troop carrier. Krystal had to act very fast, leaving her with her best option... her sniper beam. Krystal aimed her ship at the Venomians chasing Nora, using both her sensor, and her senses, to concentrate her aim at the fighters. Once she got a direct lock, Krystal fired, striking down an enemy with her sniper beam. She fired again and took down two enemies at once with another single beam. She fired a few more beams until she took down the last fighters, sparing Nora any further damage.

"Whew," Nora relieved, "Ya' did it, Krys."

"The rest are headin' off," Falco stated, looking at a sensor, "That's the last of em'."

"Not bad," Wolf complimented, "...For a Star Fox member."

As the Venomians were gone, Krystal flew her ship right next to Nora's. "That's a real great ship, Krys." Nora asked, "How's it handling ya'?"

"It's fine," Krystal replied, "Thanks, Nora."

"Kid," Falco said to Krystal, "You and that ship belong together."

"It is nice, isn't it." Krystal said with a smile. The two ships flew further out into the sky, soaring into space towards Harrion's flagship.


Harrion's flagship, Valkyrie, listed away from Venom, now that Krystal and her friends, along with the newly rescued Wolf, were safely on board. Wolf walked into the bridge with Krystal and Falco, meeting up with Col. Harrion.

"Mr. O'Donnell," Harrion began and then turned to Krystal, "...So he managed to survive Garak."

"Hey, it's him," Krystal said, "Isn't it."

"You insult me, Colonel," Wolf said, "You're actually surprised that I'd pull that off, and in only a month?"

"More or less so than the common criminal." Harrion stated.

"Well as Krys here said... It is me, after all."

"And that's why I sent them to help you escape," Harrion pointed out, "...But don't get ahead of yourself. I sent them only because of what you have."

"And why should I give any of that to you?" Wolf asked, popping a cigarette into his mouth and lighting it.

"...Wolf," Krystal stated, "...We need your help... I need it." Wolf turned his head to Krystal and blew a puff of smoke at her nose. Krystal's nose itched feeling the smoke and she coughed lightly, causing Wolf to show an amused smile.

"And that's your request?" Wolf asked, still amused.

"This is how it is, isn't it." Krystal said.

"...That's how it is," Wolf said, getting stern at the vixen, "...You know, you really get on my nerves... You just don't know when to quit, especially when you should! I mean, didn't you get that when Fox broke up your little team!? ...You both should just let real warriors handle this job, since you're just an idiotic loser!"

"Back off, Wolf," Falco shot out to defend Krystal, "Krystal's a damned good soldier and you know it!"

"Oh, I know, Lombardi," Wolf said, "But like you, she's just cannon fodder compared to me... And that's why she'll need all the help I can give."

Her ears perking up upon hearing this, Krystal brightened up with a smile, hearing that Wolf was going to offer his hand in the conflict. He was a very rough man, but Krystal knew that he had some good traits. Wolf gave a reassuring smile to Krystal and then the vixen then watched Wolf walk to the exit with a few officers.

"That means you still owe me for the Aparoids, you know." Wolf spoke as he left.

"...Right." Krystal said, feeling relief at the assistance she was now receiving.
