11:00 A.M. Cornerian Main base

They stood, Krystal in his arms. They drew ever closer to the kiss he so requested. Falco rushed to his feet as he was going to try and stop this horrific scene, little did he know no help was needed. Seconds drew by before a loud howl was heard, Krystal stood elegantly on one foot the other up, Hawk was on the ground writhing in pain.

Krystal knelt down and grabbed him by the collar of his coat and punched him before forcing him to this stomach. Once on his stomach she straddled his hips and cuffed his hands before he could do anything else. Falco just stood in half step a little surprised that she was able to slam him so hard.

"Are you alright Falco?" Krystal looked to him before standing and walking to him

"Yea, I am. Wow I didn't know you could fight." Looking down at Hawk, he felt a little bad for the guy.

"Well, I learned from watching you and Fox fight for no reason." She smiled patting his shoulder before walking to Hawk. She would help him up and walk him to her Arwing sitting him in the back. "Falco grab the papers and we will leave for Beneria right away."

Falco grumbled a bit feeling that his pride was stepped on a bit thought not purposefully. He walked to General Pepper and grabbed the folder and went to his Arwing and jumped in. He started his engine right after Krystal before getting the green light to go as they both darted off heading to the sky quickly for their long yet short journey

As soon as they took flight a bunny in a white lab coat ran out to try and stop them however she was a bit too late. She sighed and looked to General Pepper and looked down seeing the siring on the ground.

"General Pepper Sir, we have a situation." The bunny girl spoke. "Hawk got in to the lab and grabbed some of our test drugs."

"Which ones did he grab?" Pepper looked to her.

"Well it's not dangerous but…" She sighed a bit. "It was the Adrenal blast. You know the one that is supposed to heighten hearing, sight, and strength."

"Yea so what is the problem?" Pepper snorted. "Test proved it was not hazardous and worked wonders."

"Sir the side effects caused eighty-four percent of our test subjects to become unsettled and highly animalistic, going to a primal state of mind and will attack people and of that ninety-four percent does not remember."

"Oh, no!" Pepper ran in to the base quickly going to the Radio tower "Get those two Arwing on the radio NOW!"

The people in the tower ran around trying to get the order through and contact the Arwings though they had very little luck. After a brief moment a man gave thumbs-up and pepper started to talk.

"Pepper speaking, Falco, Krystal, come in." Nothing but static reached the speakers. "Do you read me?"

11:15 A.M., Cornerian outer air space

Krystal and Falco were flying out no problem at all as they were good to go. They were talking to each other being interrupted by Hawk ever so often but that stopped every time Krystal yelled at him. They were a good distance away when they got the call from Pepper. They turned the radio signals over and listened but only got muffled static.

"What was that?" Krystal asked

"I don't know Krys, let's keep our eyes open they might be trying to warn us." Falco spoke leaning forward looking around a bit.

Hawked smirked a bit before leaning back relaxing. Krystal sighed as the quiet was a little boring though unfortunately for Falco he flipped his radio to sound only as he was getting antsy and unable to get comfortable in his Arwing. He felt sick to his stomach for a short while as every bit of noise and light was bothering him.

1:00 pm Great Fox II

Fox the wonderful being he is finally arrived in the bay and saw two of the Arwings were missing. Slightly confused he headed to the bridge to find Peppy, Slippy and Rob. Slippy was again fixing Rob, while Peppy sat reading a few news screens as nothing special was happening. Fox looked to him before clearing his throat making Slippy jump in surprise before smiling a bit.

"Oh, HI Fox, I didn't know you were back."

"Hello, Fox, if you looking for Krystal or Falco they were giving a small task should be back later tonight or tomorrow morning." Peppy hummed out before spinning back to his reading.

"Hello." Fox smirked before narrowing his eyes a bit "If I didn't grow up with you Peppy, I swear you were a mind reader."

They all laughed as Fox took a seat watching them a bit a little tired and bored. He relaxed in his chair and after about twenty minutes he had fallen asleep only to leave pepper and Slippy to laugh watching him.

"I think we should leave" a very mono-tone voice spoke out from the robot in the room. Slippy smiled and nodded before putting Rob back together. They all left to go to the kitchen to talk and have lunch.

1:30 pm Arwings

Krystal yawned before looking down seeing a planet come to view she smirked and stretched before looking up the planet. She had drifted off which she often did with the soft hum of the engines.

"Hey Falco you awake, we are almost there." Krystal spoke with a slight yawn

"Yea, I am I saw." Falco grumbled before sending a signal down to the planet to request landing clearance. "We need to bring him to the Benerian Military base, but there landing field is at least a 3 hour drive away."

"Are you joking? If we land around two we won't get back to the Arwings till at least nine, then clearance to leave will take a bit we won't get back to the Great Fox till at least three in the morning." Krystal whined softly.

"I got an idea, how about after the drop off we can enter the city and go shopping and get something to eat, we can find a hotel around to spend the night. Besides you haven't had a real day off since you joined us."

"Falco, that's a great Idea. I would like to buy a few new outfits for everyday." Krystal chirped not feeling so upset now.

Around Two o'clock they finally got clearance to land. Both shooting down, they broke through the atmosphere easily before flying over the land to the landing strip. Once landed Falco jumped out walking over to Krystal's Arwing before he watched a Hawk was thrown out and landed on the ground on his back soon followed by Krystal who landed so elegantly on her feet.

Falco laughed a bit before lifting Hawk up as a Military Jeep drove up. The man in it waved and they all walked over sitting Hawk in the middle as Falco and Krystal blocked him from jumping out. The drive was excruciatingly long and was annoying Falco to no end. When he saw the Base come in to view he looked to his watch as it read 5:30 Pm.

They stopped quickly and Krystal hopped out before grabbing Hawk by the jacket dragging him out with her as Falco got out walked over and grabbed him pulling him to the building. They were quickly greeted by an older looking wolf though it was definitely not Wolf himself. Krystal saluted him quickly before looking back to Hawk and Falco.

"General Birch. I am Krystal of the Star Fox team and that his Falco, Star Fox Ace pilot. We have brought Hawk to you as requested." Krystal looked up to him

"Hmm, you arrived much quicker than I had planned." The wolf's voice was like velvet. "Please come with me. I will give you your reward for bringing the fugitive back to us."

"Yes sir." Falco saluted and kicked Hawk forward before pushing him again until a few guards grabbed Hawk pulling him off.

Falco and Krystal followed the wolf to a large office where they all sat. General Birch hummed typing a few things and smiled before nodding lightly. He put his hand out to Falco gesturing for the folder. Falco nodded and handed the folder over. They sat in silence for a few more moments before Birch leaned back.

"Ok, Miss Krystal, Falco. The funds were sent and you are greatly thanked. Is there anything you would like to ask or need help with before you go?"

"Well, Krystal and I were wondering if it would be alright to spend the night because we would not get to our home till three in the morning and wake up being at 8 for us would not be very good." Falco spoke softly

"Of course you can stay." Birch reached over and handed them each a card. "Go to the guards, down the hall to the right they will bring you to the city and they can tell you how to get to a nice hotel or motel."

Krystal and Falco nodded and smiled to him and then saluted. Walking out slowly Falco shifted his coat a bit trying to get it comfortable before pulling off giving up. Krystal watched him before shaking her head lightly.

"Are you upset that I beat him up and you couldn't?" Krystal looked to him a bit walking

"What! No, I am not. It's just I don't feel so well that's all probably the stress." Falco hummed tossed his coat over his shoulder carrying it. "This should be a nice little break maybe make Fox take one for once."

"I don't think Fox knows the meaning of vacation." Krystal laughed a bit. "His vacation is to find wolf and fight him."

Falco laughed a bit before looking down to his watch "Well is about 7:00 now would you like to get dinner? I have seen a really nice place to eat last time I was around here."

"Ok, that sounds good." Krystal smiled and walked with him the sun struggling to stay in the sky as it was setting. "You think I am dressed enough for it."

"It's not a fancy restaurant more or less a nice Café."

Krystal nodded and followed him a bit getting a little closer when the night drew in. She could fend for herself but she didn't like being alone in a dark place that she didn't know of. Falco walked at his normal pace before stopping and looking across the road seeing the café. He pointed and looked for cars and other things before crossing quickly. When they entered the café they sat quietly at a small booth and relaxed.

Krystal lifted the menu to see what they had. She shrugged lightly as this was definitely a pilots café. Nothing on the menu took more than five minutes to cook and there was a lot of finger food. After much debating she put the menu down. She closed her eyes before she felt the seat puff up under her. She turned her head to see what and who did it she saw a rather surprising sight.

"The Lovely Krystal, I give you my greetings." A voice of an angel spoke to her.

"Hello Panther, and to what do we owe the pleasure?" Krystal looked up to the large blank male panther with a scar trailing under his right eye around his muzzle.

"Just in the area, this is a good place to eat, but I know a better place. Why don't you come with me and let me treat you to a good time?" he purred letting his hand run to her hair playing with it slightly

"Go away! If you are here so is Wolf and that no talent Leon, so leave now!" Falco growled trying to keep calm. It was not easy and he could not tell why it was so hard.

"Shut it bird. I am not asking you." Panther growled

"Panther, thank you for the offer but we are only staying the night and leaving in the morning. We didn't want to arrive when everyone was asleep." Krystal smiled "Maybe some other time."

"Then till next time Krystal." Panther purred before quickly flicking his hand pulling a rose from thin air and handing it to her. He would blow a kiss and give Falco a sneering grin before leaving.

Krystal and Falco watched him leave before sighing together then looked to each other. Krystal shook her head as she saw Falco open his mouth. She looked away when a waitress walked over and smiled. She looked to Falco and winked. Krystal looked up and saw the waitress looked similar to Falco only differences besides the chest and longer feathers around her head, was that she was green with red markings.

"Hey Falco, Surprised to see you. Every one thought you were shot down." She laughed out

"ME! SHOT DOWN! I am highly offended, you know no one, and I mean NO one is better than me, Robin" Falco laughed crossing his arms. "Could you get me the usual fish and fries?"

"Sure thing sweet beak, and how about the little lady?" She looked over to Krystal.

"Uh...um I will have what he is getting." Krystal smiled she didn't know what was good there so she decided to have what Falco was.

The waitress nodded and walked away. She came back with two large glasses of cola and sat then down before leaving again to do her other tables. Falco shifted in his seat then forced a smile and sipped his soda. Krystal looked to it before sipping it. Her eyes lit up slightly to the sweet and sharp taste.

"We don't have anything like this on the ship. What is it?" Krystal looked to him

"Its soda, peppy does the shopping so he stays away from sweets and such because Slippy gorged himself one day and was literally bouncing off the walls." Falco laughed "This was when Fox's dad and Peppy were running the show. Fox and I met along with Slippy the day before. It was the funniest thing."

"I never thought Slippy would do something like that." Krystal giggled "But I guess being young you don't think about the consequences."

Falco shook his head before he saw the waitress walk back with their orders. She placed them down along with the bill before smiling and walking away. Krystal looked down and smiled before taking a piece of fish and eating it she smiled as it tasted rather good.

"You know if we told Peppy we ate here he might get upset cause is certainly not the healthiest food I have eaten." Krystal smiled

Falcon nodded in agreement it did feel good to eat something that wasn't good for you every so often. After only a few bites Falco sighed softly pushing his plate away not feeling very good anymore as he stomach was doing flips. Krystal looked over a little worried as she put her fork down. Falco shifted again unable to get comfortable before he grabbed his wallet pulling out the money for the meals tossing it to the table. He closed his eyes as he started to feel a little dizzy.

"Are you ok Falco?" Krystal looked up.

"Yea, still don't feel well that's all. Let's hurry to a hotel." Falco stood up slowly and closed his eyes again still feeling dizzy.

Krystal nodded took one last swig of her soda and walked to Falco pulling his arm over her shoulder and started to walk. She saw a Motel nearby and thought it would be a good place for him to rest. Falco's vision started to blur lightly as they walked. Shortly after he stopped walking though he didn't know he stopped. Krystal stopped when she felt him stop. She would look back to him and tug his arm gently before stepping in front of him as she tilted her head to him and looked up to him not sure if he was ok or not.

"Falco? Falco can you hear me?" She waved her hand in front of his eyes before frowning a bit as he showed no response to her.

Falco's eyes were open though they were glazed over like he was daydreaming or something. Slowly his eyes lifted and looked to Krystal. A sinister looking smile covers his beak as he reached out to her grabbing her arm tightly. Krystal's eyes widen as she was sensing a rather bad aura coming from him. She pulled back unable to get away, before she brought her knee up between his legs. His free hand went down and stopped her as he tilted his head to the side.

He quickly dropped down and stepped forward slamming his shoulder to her stomach lifting her up on to his shoulder. He growled to her kicking before walking down a long dark aliway. The sun was set and it was easily 8:00 pm or later. He walked down the alley between two dumpsters before throwing her at the wall between them. Krystal let out a cry of pain as her head cracked against the wall as she fought to keep conscience.

Falco grabbed both her arms and pinned them to the wall in his left hand before pinning her legs down under his. He smirked darkly at her before he ran his tongue over her neck. Krystal twisted trying to get free before screaming for help. The town they were in was known for peaceful days and nightmarish nights for those who dared to travel around after sunset.

Falco's free hand cupped one of her breasts and massaged it lightly before he reached up to her collar and pulled the zipper that closed her jumpsuit. He slowly opened her suit up relieving the two toned fur of her lithe body underneath. Once her suit was unzipped he leaned forward looking to her his eyes glazed and empty of all emotion. He moved down and ran his beak over her breast lightly again before nipping at them through her bra. Krystal could sense nothing in his head, it was as if he was sleeping and being hypnotized. Krystal would only cry out and struggle to get free before Falco pulled her from the wall and slammed her back to silence her screaming.

Unknown to either of them a dark figure started to walk down the alley. Falco did not hear the being nor did he care. The figure grew closer and closer before Falco actually took notice. Falco growled and narrowed his eyes until he felt a boot slam painfully to the side of his face. Falling back and growled and got up slowly before he felt another Kick this time to his stomach before a fist to the side of the face again. Falco fell back to the ground and started to get up before the figure kicked him across the face once more knocking him out.

"Are you ok, Miss?" The being walked over, the voice proving it was a male.

Krystal was barely conscience and smiled before wrapping her arms around him tightly "Oh Fox!" she cried softly before she actually fell unconscious.

The male jerked back a bit in surprise before his hand reached down slowly pulling the zipper of her jump suit up giving her some dignity. Once zipped up he saw the emblem on the chest of her suit. He looked to it and smirked lightly. The Emblem was a set of gold wings and right under was a round pendant with a fox with wings on it. This is what really caught his eye.

"Star Fox Team eh? Well let's get both of you someplace a little safer." The man spoke out in a gruff voice before lifting Krystal up holding her over his shoulder before grabbing Falco by the collar dragging him before they reached the street and was placed into a car nearby. Falco thrown Krystal placed and buckled in. The being soon got in and drove off quickly before any one could question him.
