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

Krypto rose from his bed and exited his room. He walked down the halls, looking around. The Great Fox was as impressive in the inside as it was on the outside. He continued walking. Then he saw Slippy in the den area as he entered it. He smirked slightly as he walked to him, " Hey Slippy. " Slippy looked up at him and smiled slightly, " Hiya Krypto. "

Krypto smirked again. He had been talking to Slippy a lot so they were sorta like friends. " What are you reading? " Slippy smiled as he showed Krypto his blueprints for the Great Fox. Krypto studied them, they may come in handy for him later. Krypto then looked back up at Slippy and decided to put his plan into action.

" Tell me, Slippy. Do you like it here? " Slippy blinked a bit, but answered, " Yes. This place is like home to me. " Krypto smirked, " Your treated like family here right? "

" Yeah, I don't know what I would do without the guys with me. " Krypto smiled, " That's good. I can tell you guys are tight. How long have you been with this team? "

" About nine or ten years. " Krypto nodded, " I see. " Slippy then sighed. Krypto looked at him, " Something the matter? "

" Yeah. Sometimes I feel like i'm the one who can never take care of himself. I mean I always get chased by baddies on missions. I don't try to but it happens. I've overheard the guys talking about behind my back and making fun of me, especially Falco..." Krypto watched him, " I see. "

" It hurts a lot. I do a lot for this team and what do I get for it? Teasing, ridiculing, and bullying! " Krypto watched him, mentally smirking, " Then why stay? " Slippy stared at him, then looked away, considering this. Krypto continued, " I mean, you get treated so badly. No one appreciates your genius on technology. The one way you could make them pay is depriving them that. I hardly think they would last long. I'm just saying this as friend and I want you to be happy. "

Slippy stared out a nearby window for a while, then got up, " I'll sleep on it. " Slippy then left and entered his bedroom. Krypto smirked as he yawned and got up. He walked back to his room, entered, locked the door behind him. He layed on his bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Fox noticed that Slippy wasn't around the whole morning, not even for breakfast. He walked to Slippy's room and knocked. When there was no response, he opened the door and walked in. He turned on the light and saw Slippy's room was almost completely empty. ' Not again..' Fox thought. He noticed a note on Slippy's desk and read it.

It said, ' Dear Fox, I've had enough of you all always making fun of me because I always end up tailed by bad guys. I sure hope you can manage without my constant useful upgrades. Slippy. ' Fox sighed angrily, " Great, now we've lost two people. "

Krypto contacted Darien through his wrist communicator and said, " Sir, another member has left. "

" Excellent Krypto. I expected no less. Continue with the assignment. " Krypto nodded, " Yes sir. " Darien then cut the connection. Krypto sat back on his bed and said to himself, " Two down, three to go..."
