When Krystal awoke she was in a room full of golden scarabs, she didn't know how she got out of her cell, but she was.

"Good Morning, my dear, sleep well?" a sinister voice from behind her said.

"You!" she hissed, " Come near me and I'll tear you limb from limb!"

The being to whom the voice belonged smiled and said " My dear girl, lets not be too hasty, you wouldn't want anything, unfortunate, to happen to your little friends would you?"

As he said this a hologram of the troops appeared before her eyes. She saw Tricky. They were all chained and shackled, surrounded by guards weilding whips. They looked terrified.

" I snap my fingers, it's bye bye dinos" The being chuckled sinisterly.

Krystal fell to her knees. " I have no choice...."

"Guards, take her back to her cell," The monster laughed evilly behind her.

Fox awoke to the sound of a girl screaming. He knew it was Krystal.

" KRYSTAL!" he screamed.

He got no answer. He knew he wouldn't. He tried to calm himself down and make sense of everything.

"Cloudrunner Fortress...Krystal....Cerinia....The Truth.....me.....him, What does it all mean?!"

The biggest question on his mind was, who was He? She had said, "..it was him all along."

Who? She surely couldn't mean Andross... He was gone once and for all, of course...they had thought that before too...He pulled the note out of his pocket and re read it trying to make sense of it. He had done this many times before. ...Find the truth" The truth about what? Fox soon tired himself and drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
