Mashiro awoke to the sight of a hospital-like room. The same blue fox that fended off the dinosaur and took him into the tank was checking his pulse, her index and middle fingers over his wrist.
"A... Am I in the hospital?" he asked with a groggy tone, his light brown eyes slightly open.
"No, no, child. You're just in the ship infirmary." the fox answered.
"Krystal... I can't believe it's her..." Mashiro thought.
"The kid okay, Krystal?" a blue falcon asked her.
"Yes, Falco, he's alright. He's doing just fine." replied Krystal.
"Falco..." Mashiro's eyes began to open up a bit more.
Mashiro sat up as the rest of the team checked on him.
"Did he say what his name was?" the other fox asked.
"I don't know. 'Moxio' or something." the frog replied.
"It's Mashiro, but my friends call me 'Mushy.'" Mashiro corrected and in his head, he thought, "The entire Star Fox team... This is awesome!"
"Welcome to the Great Fox, son." said an old voice.
"That's Peppy's voice..." Mashiro thought, still in joy.
"I heard you are looking for some friends of yours." said a brown and white rabbit as he walked in.
"Yeah. Have you seen them?" Mashiro asked the team quickly.
"Nope, but don't worry. We can help you look for them!" the frog answered.
"Slippy, we're not trackers." the other fox told him.
Mashiro got out of his bed and stretched, but then he saw that the controller wasn't around his neck.
"Starfox, you all needed!" a bald eagle yelled to them.
"Care to join us, Mushy?" Slippy asked.
"Well... Okay." Mashiro agreed and followed the gang.
As they went to the head of the Great Fox, Mashiro was overwhelmed by what was going on. Everybody's names kept repeating in his head. He looked at the other fox.
"And that's Fox... Everybody's here!" he kept thinking.
He could just taste it, the defeat of their enemies, the victory after a mission.
They soon approached the head. As soon as they stopped, a large screen came down from the ceiling. After some static, the image of a bloodhound dressed in red appeared on it. Mashiro recognized it, too; it was General Pepper!
"Starfox, we had just recieved another threat from Starwolf. They seem to have stolen a piece of rare Cornerian onyx and are taking it to Andross on Venom." the hound warned.
"'Andross?' I thought you destroyed him for good." Mashiro said to Fox.
"So did we, kid." Falco said to him.
"Roger, General. We'll try our best to find it!" Fox confirmed.
As soon as the screen went black and returned to the ship's ceiling, everyone left for the boarding dock. Mashiro saw each of the jets.
"What are you waiting for, Mushy? That gem's not gonna find itself!" Slippy yelled to him.
"I know, Slippy, but where's my Arwing?" he asked.
Slippy took him to the back of the boarding dock and showed him an Arwing that had a patch like the one on his jacket.
"Just repaired." the frog said to him.
"Thanks, Slippy." Mashiro thanked.
Finally, he was ready to fly. With one thrust, the jets took off for Venom.
"A... Am I in the hospital?" he asked with a groggy tone, his light brown eyes slightly open.
"No, no, child. You're just in the ship infirmary." the fox answered.
"Krystal... I can't believe it's her..." Mashiro thought.
