Disclaimer: I do not own StarFox at all. If I did, life would be good.

Not far from Krystal's location, the Great Fox flew on patrol of the Lylat system. The team, especially Fox and Falco, felt like they were about to go insane from boredom. ' At least being insane would better than being bored. ' Falco thought. The only one who wasn't close to going off the deep end was Peppy, who was always reading a newspaper and ignoring everything else unless it was important.

Slippy was slouching in a chair, staring at the ceiling. Fox was leaning over the windowsill, staring out the window and thinking of that girl he met at the base. ( a/n: He's thinking of Krystal ) Falco was laying on the couch, sleeping. After about fifteen minutes of silence, Peppy came from his room, " Fox, I need to talk to you. " No one had heard him enter and his sudden speaking scared the crap outta everyone. Fox hit his head on the window, Slippy jumped and the chair fell backward, and Falco woke up with a start and fell off the couch.

There were loud yells of pain and cursing asFox walked to Peppy, rubbing his head and wincing slightly, " What is it Peppy? " His voice had a tone of slight annoyance in it.

" I heard that tone McCloud. Speak like that to me again and I will have you do laundry duty for a week. " Fox gulped and shut up. " Now Fox, i've gotten a distress signal from Sauria. We are right by there and I want you to go check it out alone. " " Why does only he get to go! We're bored too! " Falco yelled as he got back on the couch. " Yeah, what Falco said! " Slippy yelled as well as he fixed the chair up and sat in it.

" You just get chased everytime you fly, Slippy. It's embarassing to the rest of us. "

" Is not! "

" Is too. "

" Is not! "

" Is too. "

Fox and Peppy sighed as they shook their heads. They started talking again, ignoring the now wrestling toad and falcon. " I want you to go because it might be dangerous and your the most skilled of us. " Fox smiled and nodded, " Understood. I'll leave immediately. " With that he left, leaving Peppy to deal with the still fighting Slippy and Falco.

Krystal was flying past Sauria when she sensed the distress signal. ' It sounds bad...there are cries of pain in the background...' She then turned and quickly flew into Sauria. She gasped as she entered the area of the fighting. There were dead dinosaur bodies around with pools of blood under them. It made her sick to her stomach. She then noticed robotic bugs all around. She then got shot at and she began shooting down the flying robotic bugs.

Fox jumped into his Arwing and flew away from the Great Fox into Sauria. He saw all the dinosaurs and blood but when he saw the bugs he stared, " They're back?...But how can that be?..." He then noticed her ship and remembered her from the base. He opened a commmunicationlink with her ship, " Hey, need help with the airbourne ones? " She blinked as she noticed his ship, then replied, " No, I can handle these guys. " " Alright, then i'll go to the surface. " He landed and jumped out, almost immediately shooting down bugs.

As he fought on land, he glanced up at her and was impressed at how well she fought them. She did loops as she was tailed and did fired at the bugs rapidly. He returned to fighting the bugs and noticed a hatcher nearby. He remembered what the hatchers did and he shot it down. After a long time, he shot down all the hatchers and the bugs stopped coming. He walked to his Arwing and saw her ship land beside his.

She jumped out and walked to him. " Are you alright? " He looked at her and tried his best to not stutter as he talked. " Yeah, I think so. " He then noticed several wound she had and winced slightly at the pain they caused. She went back to her ship and took some bandages from the first aid kit and walked back to him with them. " Let me treat your wounds. " He nodded and she started to gently clean off the blood and wrap his wounds. He enjoyed her soft touch.

After she finished tending to his wounds, she was about to leave when the Cerinian ship that had followed her before, landed by their ships. She stood when she recognized the ship and saw a figure jump from the ship and speak to her. " Hello...little sister.." One word came to her mind, " Krypto..."
