10. Chapter 10

Krystal and her friends have just entered the Kremmerk Woods, and Krystal couldn't believed what she saw. It was a dark forest shrouded in darkness, and eyes peeping out from behind the bushes. "With all these trees it's hard to believe it's daytime" Said Krystal. "I have a feeling that finding the blomblum flower isn't going to be easy" Said Kika. "I will stay here and keep guard" Said Starlian "in case anyone tries to attack." So Krystal and Kika headed off while Starlian stayed behind to keep watch. As they headed deep into the woods,it got darker and darker. "Kika, can you use your wand to light up the area?" Asked Krystal. Kika took out her wand and used it to light up as if it was a flashlight. "That should help us for now" Kika said. As the two continued on, Krystal noticed she stepped in a wet area. Kika checked it out and realized that they were at a swamp like area. They looked around and noticed a boat tied against a tree. "If we use that boat maybe we can travel through that swamp much more easily" Kika said. Krystal used her staff to break the rope then she and Kika got the boat safely in the water. "I'm surprised the boat is in good condition, especially considering how dangerous this place could be" Said Krystal. "Yeah" Kika said " but at least we don't have to trek in the water." Krystal and Kika got in the boat and started to paddle down the swamp area. It was just as dark as it was before but Kika still kept her wand lit up so they can see. "To be honest, I never felt this scared before" said krystal. "I know this kind of thing is to be expected, but I don't know." "It's ok Krystal" Kika said "I'm scared too,

I once went in here when I was younger, and I was afraid I never get out." "I'm so sorry to hear that" Said Krystal. "No worries, at least I'm not alone" Kika said with a smile. Krystal smiled back at her. "Right, besides if we work hard we can overcome this" Said Krystal. Kika nodded in agreement then Kika noticed a small light up ahead. "If I remember correctly" Said Kika "that light up ahead means we're on the right path, but remember we need to look out for anything that could attack us." Krystal nodded and started to look around. She then noticed a silver colored ball object hanging on one of the trees. "Kika, There's something over there" Said Krystal as she showed Kika the object. Kika rowed the boat over to the direction Krystal was pointing and picked up the observed it for a moment. "Krystal" Kika said "you know what you just found?" Krystal grew worried for she thought it could be some kind of weapon of mass destruction. "you've found a Sylion orb" Kika said "These objects are very rare these days!" "What exactly does it do?" Asked Krystal. "Well" Kika explained "These orbs can help Wizards and sorcerers with their magic, makes it stronger then before." Krystal grew amazed by this. "Why don't you use it?" Said Kika "It may come in handy." "I don't know "Said Krystal "I'm not a magician." "well you doesn't have to be magicians, you can also use it to enhance Psychic abilities" Kika added. Kika gave Krystal the Orb. "It's very nice of you Kika" said Krystal "but won't you need it too?" "Don't worry about me, just because these orbs are rare doesn't mean this one is the only one left" Said Kika with a smile. Krystal put the orb in her pocket for safe keeping as the two continued to head down the Swamp path was starting to get intense, and the two girls had no idea what was in store for them. Krystal was nervous, for she had never experienced anything like this whenever she traveled alongside Fox. "In a place like this, there's no telling where any of this is going" Said Krystal. "It's just as I said before" Kika said "In the Dream world, there is no such thing as impossible." The current started to pick up little by little and before they knew it they started to go down the stream very fast. They went down as if they were going down a waterfall. Krystal and Kika held on to the boat as tight as they could, but then the boat crashed into a giant rock which hurled the two over by where they saw the light earlier."It's too bad about the boat" Kika said "but at least we made it out of there safely." "That's true" Krystal said "I only hope the path that lies ahead won't be as scary as this one. "The two entered the path and saw a sign in front of them. It was a warning that said "Those who seek to find the holy path must pass the tests of nobility." Kika and Krystal were concerned about the tests they must take but knew it was the only way to get to the blomblum flower. "I hope you're ready Krystal" Kika said. "I am" Krystal said "I know it may be difficult but we're a team." Kika nodded in agreement and started to walk down. Just then Bruzzalgia appeared, startling the two. "Who is that!?" Krystal Asked. "That is the servant of Marvick" Kika said "Bruzzaglia!" "So pleased that you remembered Kika" Said Bruzzalgia in a sinister tone "and you must be Krystal, Oh my I've heard alot about you." "What do you want with us?" Krystal asked angrily. "Nothing really, except to see you fail" Bruzzalgia said "The three tests are nothing compared to any test you have taken." "Don't listen to him"Kika said to Krystal "he's only trying to intimidate us." "Don't be so sure" Bruzzalgia said "The tests are the main reason why no one returns alive, as much as I want to destroy you two, I am however curious to see what you've got." Bruzzalgia dissappeared in a puff of smoke. "Something tells me we won't see the last of him" Krystal said. "He's a sneaky one" Said Kika "But let's stay focused and hope we can pass the three tests."

Meanwhile back at the condo, Beltino had just discovered some new information. "Everyone, I have something to show you" Beltino said "Fox mentioned to me earlier how he saw some stranger from the dream world, well I found out how it was possible." Beltino presented a small visual aide with a red and black swirl. "You see" Beltino said "during the course of our pursuits I came across this, it appears to be some kind of rip between dreams and reality." "How is that possible" Slippy asked "I thought dreams only appear in your mind when you sleep." "Believe me" Beltino replied "I am just as perplexed as you are, but if this gateway is opened our world could be in jeopordy!" "And what about Krystal" Asked Fox. "Well I'm not sure about that yet, I can only hope she'll be ok." "I hope so too" Fox said "There were so many things I never got to tell her." "Well I wouldn't worry about that right now, this gateway is still in development and will be less likely to be complete in a short time" Faye said. "Well that's a relief" Falco said "last thing we want right now is to have weird monsters from our dreams attacking everyone." "Kinda takes a step further doesn't it?" Peppy added "well wherever the path lies for Krystal, I know she won't have to do it alone" Fox said as he noticed Kika on the monitor.

Back at the Dream world, The girls had started to prepare themselves for the three tests. Kika then noticed Krystal feeling depressed. "What's wrong Krystal?" Asked Kika "Did that rat with wings scare you?" "No it's not that" Krystal said "I'm just worried about the tests is all, If I fail I'll probably never see Fox again..." Kika went up to Krystal to comfort her.
"It sounds like you have feelings for this Fox Fellow." Kika said. "Well can you keep a secret?" Krystal asked. "Of course" Kika replied "your secret's safe with me." "Well" Krystal said I do have feelings for him, ever since he rescued me and allowed me to be apart of the Star Fox team, I've always felt there was something between us." "I understand how that is" Kika said "I would be grateful too if someone risked his life to save mine." "I feel that I wanna tell him, but at the last minute I get so nervous" Krystal said "maybe it's because I'm afraid Fox won't feel the same way." "Krystal" Kika said "sometimes words don't always express how you feel, if you want to show how you feel about him, make him see it with his eyes." Krystal started to think about that. "That's good advice Kika" Said Krystal "Froznog must have been proud to train someone who has as much wisdom as he does." "Thanks" Said Kika "but I'm just his apprentice,
no one could ever be as wise as Froznog." Krystal laughed at that then hugged Kika. "Thanks Kika, It's the kind of relief I needed" Krystal said "I guess a part of me was worried that I wouldn't be able to overcome the three tests no matter how hard I tried." "You're welcome Krystal" Kika said with a smile "Just remember you're not alone, and as you said we're a team and nothing can take that away." Krystal who regained her confidence smiled at Kika. "Are you ready now?" Kika asked. "I am" Krystal said "For Fox, The Star Fox team and the people of this world."
And with that Krystal and Kika was ready to take the three tests of Nobility.
