In the Beginig

McCloud Journal,

It has been 5 years since Dino Planet. Me and Krystal have bee dating on and off for the first 3 years. Krystal then disappeared and I never saw her again. She said she was going to find her parents. While she was gone I dated Katt for a year in a half and Fara for 6 months. I missed Krystal and tried to go after her. I tried tracing her put I had no luck. I was convinced that she was dead. But today I saw the weirdest thing at the café.

I walked in Café le Corean and ordered mocha for the road. General Pepper called Fox for a mission in another system called the Sylat System. Fox thought that Krystal might be there so he gladly accepted. As Fox walked in the café and saw Falco flirting with Katt.

"Damn that bastered, " Fox cursed under his breath as he walked by them. Fox still liked Katt after she broke up with him. Fox walked up to the counter and ordered mocha for the road. As the waitress turned around, Fox realized something her. She was a blue fox with a sexy body. She reminded him of someone he knew but her name was a blur. Fox grabbed his coffee and jumped on his bike.

As Fox rounded a turn, a gang of bikers fired a laser at Fox. Fox jumped off his bike just before the laser blew it up. Fox rolled away as piece of debris flew and knocked Fox in the head. Fox passed out right on the street. The last thing he remembered was seeing that Andrew had shot him but another laser came out of nowhere and hit Andrew.

Fox did not know how long he was asleep but it must have been long because he had a very intensive dream. He thought he woke up in a bed in a hotel. Krystal sat the end of his bed. Fox tried to say something but Krystal put her hand over his mouth. She kissed him and backed up. Krystal's figure started to change. She started to look like a monkey. Fox backed up from the bed. Finally, Krystal was not Krystal any more. She now looked like Andross. But Andross was defeated. Fox saw him die in front of his eyes. The room the started to swirl in to Pit of Despair where Andross had killed James McCloud, Fox's father. But it was also where Fox defeated him right after Krystal disappeared. Fox thought that Andross had killed Krystal so Fox went to kill him. But Andross never came after Fox, Fox came after him. Fox reached around his belt for his blaster or Krystal's staff. He found a pool table in the room and flung the ball rack at Andross. The rack went straight trough him. Fox cursed under his breath as he picked up the pole cue and ran at Andross. Andross lifted up a book a flung it at Fox's head. It hit Fox in the head and Fox was on the floor.

"Krystal!" Fox yield as he woke up. He was in the Great Fox's infirmary. Falco, Slippy, Rob, Katt, Fara, and the waitress from the café surrounded him.

"Krystal is not here Fox, you know that," Falco said to him.

"What about Andross?" Fox asked wondering about his dream.

"He's dead," the waitress answered.

"Who the hell are you. Aren't you the waitress at the Café le Corean?" Fox asked with a puzzled voice.

"I'm the girl who saved your ass when the biker gang attacked you," she answered. "By the way, who is Krystal?" she asked as if she missed something.

"Fox's old girlfriend who mysteriously disappeared 2 years ago looking for her parents. She looks a lot like you Sherry," Slippy said as he looked up from an instruction manual.

"So your name is Sherry," Fox asked the girl who was getting a soda.

"Yah my name is Sherry SirAir and I'm your guild in the Sylat System," Sherry told as she loudly slurped her Diet Coke.
