The next morning The star fox team is all doing various things. Peppy is reading a book Falco is watching tv and Slippy is tinkering with another machine. Fox and Krystal walk into the command room.
Hey Krystal im sorry for uh... you know.
Krystal just laughs its ok Fox.
All finished announces Slippy.
What is that? asks Falco
Its a emp blaster prototype capable of taking out electronics and robots without any harm to living things i figured in case more of those attack robots show up like from Corneria.
Slippy accidentally fires a small emp wave. Suddenly small bolts of elctricity start coming from Krystals neck. and she starts shaking.
The rest of the team looks on in confusion.
What the hecks going on! shouts Falco
Danger danger system overload shutting- shutting dowwwwwn.
Krystal falls over and a mechanical thud is heard as everyone is in shock of what they had just seen.
K-Krystal was a...robot? says Slippy.
If this was a fake robot look alike then the real Krystal is still out there somewhere! notes Fox
Fox rushes to the hanger to Krystal's arwing and tries to check the flight log but it's been erased.
Dang! the robot must have erased the flight log so we can't find her.
Peppy thinks of a plan. maybe we can acess the robots electronic memory to find the real Krystal's location.
Good thinking Peppy. Slippy how fast can you do that?
Shouldn't be to hard.
Good get right on it I'm counting on you.
Won't let you down Fox!
Slippy goes back to inspect the robot doppelganger as the rest of the team still stands around in the hanger.
Well Fox looks like you were right. Admits Falco
Now the next thing we gotta figure out is who would possibly want to build a robot of Krystal? Wonders Peppy.
Simple It's obviously Panther from Star Wolf I mean he's the only one other than Fox who goes making googly eyes at her!
I don't know Falco Star Wolf doesn't seem like the most tech savvy bunch. says Fox.
That's what they want us to think. The way I see it is Panther was so desperate for Krystal he built a robot then decided to have it infiltrate are ship and destroy us.
I think Wolf and his team have better things to do then build a fake Krystal. says Peppy Besides I think if it was built to destroy us wouldn't it have done it immediately.
You think it was sent to gather information as a spy? asks Fox
That's precisely what I think. I believe now the best course of action is to wait to see what Slippy uncovers in the robots data banks.
All right but if he can't find anything I say we go after Wolf and the other two clowns. suggests Falco.
Three hours later
Slippy is seen tinkering with the robot Krystal having it sit in a chair with a cable attached to the computer plugged into the back of its head.
Darn it I can't seem to find anything maybe it doesn't record any data.
Fox walks into the room. Hey Slippy you find anything?
Aww I'm sorry Fox whoever designed this robot really knew what they were doing I can't recover any data from it.
Falco walks over and notices a small almost invisible button on the side of the robots neck.
Hey this a button or something?
Don't touch it! yells Slippy
Relax it malfunctioned nothing will happen watch.
Falco presses the button and the robot suddenly turns back on and it's eyes open.
Self destruct activated detonation in one hundred seconds. says the robot in Krystal's natural voice.
Woah self destruct! panics Slippy
Falco you idiot were all gonna get blown up cause of you! yells Fox
How was I supposed to know there was a bomb inside this tin can! Falco argues back.
Nintey seconds...
Ok uh uh we gotta get rid of it... the escape pod!
Fox picks up the robot of Krystal and carries it over his shoulder running to the escape pod. Upon making it there he opens the hatch and throws it in. and presses the button rapidly multiple times but the pod doesn't launch.
Slippy it won't launch what's going on!
The pod launch trigger is broken I haven't got around to fixing it yet!
Seriously now you tell me!
Seventy seconds...
Fox takes the robot out of the escape pod and tries to press the button on its neck to try and cancel out the self destruct sequence but it does nothing.
Ok quick let's see the trash shoot!
Fifty seconds...
STOP COUNTING! yells Fox in a panic.
He runs over to the trash shoot and opens it only to find it too overloaded with garbage to fit anything else.
Seriously! Oh man oh man not good.
Thirty seconds...
Slippy blast it with another emp wave!
Slippy Brings the emp blaster.
It still has to charge it's almost done!
The emp blaster slowly charges seeming like a eternity almost.
Ten seconds... Nine...Eight
Hurry!
The emp blaster is finally charged and slippy fires another wave at the robot look alike. Causing it to briefly go haywire and shutdown again.
Se- se- seven six fiveeeee.
Fox slumps against the wall looking like he's going to have a heart attack trying to collect himself.
Ok Falco is not allowed to help with the robot.
Agreed says Slippy.
Peppy steps into the hallway with a immediate puzzled look on his face.
What happened here?
Oh nothing too exciting Falco just accidentally activated the robot Krystal's self destruct and we almost all got blown to bits. Says Fox still shoken up.
Well good news gang I was able to find the flight log from Krystal's arwing and believe I found the exact coordinates she was captured.
Great! but how did you restore the data the robot erased.
All Arwing diagnostics get backed up to the main computer including the flight logs. Rob suggested it. Make it easier for repairs.
Good then let's go find her! Shouts Fox excitedly.
All right I'll get the coordinates uploaded to your ships computers. Should be ready to fly out in ten minutes.
Ten minutes later
Fox is commencing the last minute preparations on his ship as Falco and Slippy walk in.
All set Slippy?
Yup sure am!
It will be a little strange flying with only three of us. Remarks Fox
Well actually
The robot of Krystal walks in.Hi Fox ready to fly!
You reactivated it? Fox asks confused.
Yup sure did. I did a quick double check of it's memory it turns out it's designed to think it's the real Krystal. I had to reboot her though from the emp blast which erased her original mission data so we don't know what she was originally designed for.
Whatever works I guess says Fox.
Peppy comes in over the intercom. Everybody ready.
Slippy and Robot Krystal hop in there arwings.
Launch all Ships!
The star fox team flies off into space to find the real Krystal.
