Chapter 6

Hey everyone, sorry for the lateness of the new chapter. I've been busy with some other story projects while also dealing with my sisters crazy ex husband who is unfortunately on the warpath due to the whole divorce. But, I'm still going on my projects. Anyway, let's dive right into the chapter and keep in mind, I tried to make a pretty good bar fight in this chapter.

Several days after they're vacation to Sauria, Fox began training Jasmine for becoming a star fox pilot herself. With help from her lover and the other star fox team members, Jasmine excelled in piloting an arwing and driving a landmaster along with weapons familiarization and hand to hand combat. And on some occasions, Jasmine would spend time with the other girls getting to know each other and even sharing secrets between each other. Meanwhile, things became more amazing when the world of Corneria made contact with planet Earth thus leading to the two forming an alliance. At first, things seemed weird between the two worlds but soon things finally settled down and worked out okay. So now, not only were humans friends with the Cornerians and living on Corneria but Earth's military forces were stationed on Corneria as well.

One morning high above the skies of Corneria, two arwings were flying side by side. One does a barrel roll, outside loop, utilizing brakes, and etc. The other arwing does the same with peak efficiency. Eventually, the two arwings returned to the Star Fox hangar and both land inside the Great Foxes hangar. The first opens revealing to be Fox who climbs out and walks over to the other as it opens up and Jasmine climbs out. She was wearing a sky blue and pink flight suit.

"Nice work up there, Jasmine. You're coming along really well." Fox compliments.

"Thank you, Fox. All of this wouldn't be possible without you to teach me."

"No problem. But don't thank me, thank the other team members as well. They're also helping with you're training too." Fox replies.

"That is a good point, Fox. I do owe them for training me, but you're still the one who not only taught me but you also saved my life in the park from the maniac." Jasmine says walking toward Fox.

She eventually closes the gap between her and Fox and the two share a kiss together. The kiss grew more deeper with each passing minute. Jasmine wraps her arms around Fox's neck and Fox wraps his arm around her waist. She lifts her leg up a little and wraps it around Fox's leg. "Ahem." A voice says. Fox and Jasmine break up the kiss only to see that it was none other than Falco lounging on his arwing with a smile on his face. "Uh, how long have you been standing there, Falco?" Fox asks with a mix of confusion and surprise. "Oh long enough. In fact, I was coming to tell you guys that the news crew is outside waiting for you guys." Falco replies.

"Oh okay. Anyway, you go on ahead Jasmine. I'll catch up." Fox says.

Jasmine pulls away from Fox and begins making her way out of the hangar. She walks past Falco and finally out the room. When she was out of sight, Falco looks over at Fox with a devious smile and says, "Fox McCloud, you sly dog. You have officially done it." "Done what?" Fox asks.

"You know what I mean." Falco replies. "You and Jasmine just a minute ago. You guys have officially gone up a level in you're relationship."

"Easy Falco, it was just a... spur of the moment." Fox quickly replies. "Now come on, we've got an interview to do."

"Alright, buddy. But just remember, it's all about you and Jasmine. Don't let this relationship go to waist."

"Don't worry, Falco. I won't" Fox promises and the two then make their way out of the hangar to meet with the news crew.

Meanwhile, back at Krystal and Panther's apartment, Krystal was in the kitchen working on the wedding invitations for they're upcoming wedding while Panther was sitting in the living room watching tv while drinking his beer. He was flipping through the tv channels until he finally lands on the Corneria news just as it was starting. Sitting behind the desk was a male tiger in a black suit over a purple shirt and sitting next to him was a female lynx in a tan colored suit. These were new anchors Steve Johnson and Jessica Rollins.

"Good afternoon, I'm Steve Johnson with my co anchor Jessica Rollins with the Corneria news." Steve says.

"That's right, Steve. And our top story this afternoon is social media has been all abuzz about legendary star fox team making an epic return after being disbanded several months ago by team leader Fox McCloud after original team member Krystal left Star Fox." Jessica reports.

"We now go live to our reporter on the scene at the Great Fox hangar where the team had finished flight training with new team member Jasmine Turner. Jessie?"

The news then shifts to the Star Fox hangar where a male Labrador was standing in outside the Great Fox with the entire Star Fox team. "Thank you, Steve. I'm here with the newly expanded star fox team and in my opinion is looking real awesome now."

"Thank you, Jessie. That means a lot to us." Falco replies.

"No problem. So I hope you guys don't mind if I ask you some questions regarding the recent additions to you guys." Jessie requests.

"Sure thing, Jessie. Ask away." Slippy says in agreement.

"Excellent. In fact tell me Jasmine, how does it feel being part of the greatest team in all of the Lylat system?"

"It's pretty cool." Jasmine replies. "In fact, I've heard all kinds of stories about them so I guess you could consider me a fan of them."

"A fan girl, huh?" Jessie asks

"Pretty much." Jasmine replies. "And besides, I enjoy having Fox as my very special boy toy."

"Is that so?" the reporter asks and looks over at Fox. "I got to ask McCloud, on a scale of 1 to 10, how strong is you're relationship?"

"Well, to answer you're question Jessie, me and Jasmine are pretty close so I'd give our relationship a 10." Fox answers. "Maybe even higher."

"Like 20? 30? 50? Maybe 100 even?" the reporter asks curiously.

"Um, aren't we getting off track here?" Fox asks.

"Right, right. Sorry. Anyway, so what's next on Mrs. Turner's training agenda?"

"Actually, she's pretty much covered everything for becoming a Star Fox team pilot from piloting both the arwing and landmaster to weapons training and hand to hand combat. So basically, she's now a fully pledged Star Fox pilot." Fox answers.

"Well alright, good for her. So, do you guys plan to celebrate this special occasion or what?"

"As a matter of fact Jessie, all of us are going to have a special little party at Barry's bar for her later tonight." Slippy answers excited.

"That sounds pretty fun. Well, back to you, Steve."

The news then shifts back to the news studio where Steve picks up after the tv reporter saying, "Thank you, Jessie. Well, the Lylat system better watch out, especially Star Wolf and possibly even Oikinny on Venom because Star Fox is back and here to stay."

"That's right, Steve." Jessica says. "Coming up in the sports world, G zero racing becomes even more exciting with a new champion crowned."

Panther uses the remote to turn of the tv but he and Krystal were both shocked and confused at Fox's new girlfriend. "Uh Krystal, are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm fine, Panther." Krystal replies. "Why do you asks?"

"Yeah well, it's just I'm having a little trouble how in the hell McCloud could find new love."

"I know. When Katt told me about her, I didn't believe it at first. But I guess I was wrong."

Panther thought about what he just saw on tv regarding Fox and his new girlfriend. Eventually. He gets an idea and says, "Krystal, what do you say we go out tonight? Just the two of us?" Hearing Panther's idea, Krystal raises one of her eyebrows in confusion.

Later that night at Barry's Bar, many patrons both human and Cornerian were enjoying drinks while socializing at the same time together. Sitting at one table was the Star Fox team including the guest of honor Jasmine Turner, General Peppy Hare and Bill Grey, Fox's most trusted friend and leader of Bulldog and Husky air units. The group was sharing laughs together when sharing jokes, telling funny stories and even shared some old mission stories. "Oh my goodness, Fox. I can't believe that actually happened. You and Bill played Surfin Bird on the intercoms of the Cornerian academy." Jasmine says surprised.

"I know, Jasmine. But technically, that prank was all Bill's idea. I was just the helper." Fox explains.

"Hold on, Fox. That gag was you're idea which made all of the academy laugh uncontrollably. Both cadets and teachers." Bill interrupts.

"So what happened after you guys got caught?" Jasmine asks.

"Well, the headmaster called us into his office and instead of giving us a big punishment, he simply told us that it was funny and that we reminded us of how he was a joker back in his day." Fox explains.

"Really?"

"Yeah. But he did tell us not to do anything like that ever again." Bill interjects. "Otherwise, that's why Fox and I are the kings of pranks."

And don't forget it. But enough about me and Bill, tonight is all about you, Jasmine." Fox reminds and the group share a toast in honor of Jasmine becoming a Star Fox pilot.

As the group continued their celebration, Slippy smile disappears when he spots something. "Uh guys?" he says. "We've got a problem. A very big problem and it's here." The others look in the same direction as Slippy and discover that the big problem was none other than two uninvited guests at the front door. However these were not just any two uninvited guests. It was none other than Krystal and her fiancée Panther Caruso. The two began making their way toward Star Fox's booth and soon arrive. "Well, well, well, Panther and Krystal." Falco says. "Are you two lost or something?"

"No. Krystal and I were just in the neighborhood and decided to stop in." Panther replies.

"Riiiiiiiight." Falco replies suspiciously.

"Uh- huh." Falco replies and then spots Jasmine next to Fox. "Ah, so this must be the lovely Jasmine Krystal and I saw on the news earlier. I am Panther."

"Whatever." Jasmine replies coldly

"Oh, such feistiness." Panther compliments and takes one of the drinks from the table. "Here's to us."

"Yeah well I hate to break it to you, Caruso. But, I'm already in a relationship."

"Relationship? With whom?"

"That would be me, Caruso." Fox intervenes. "Besides, you're supposed to be getting married. So, why don't you do us a favor and beat it. This is a private party."

"Party?" Krystal asks.

"That's right. Jasmine's now an official Star Fox pilot." Bill interjects.

"What?!" Krystal shouts in shock getting the attention of all the other restraunt patrons. "But why?!"

"One, she wanted to join, Krystal. It was back on Sauria she asked me if she could join. And since then, she's done well in combat, weapons, and flight training. Bottom line, she's a pilot inside and out." Fox explains.

"Well, she can't join the team, Fox!"

"That's not up to you, Krystal. Besides, why should you care?" Fox asks.

"Yeah, you're a Star Wolf pilot now, remember?" Falco reminds. "Not to mention, getting married to that idiot."

"Oh so I'm an idiot, bird." Panther says offended. "Tell me, would an idiot do this?"

Panther then makes his way around the table behind Katt, grabs another drink and does the unthinkable. He pours his drink on her hear causing everyone including Krystal to become shocked. At that very moment, Falco delivers a power right hook to the cat sending him into another table but he catches himself. Panther tries to retaliate but Fox jumps in front of him in order to stop the fight. "Panther, I don't know what you're deal is but you need to cut it out right now." Fox threatens. "Or what?" Panther asks. "You gonna put me off my team like you did Krystal?"

"I did that so she would be safe! I didn't want her to get hurt or killed!"

"Really? Because from her point of view, you threw her off the team because you didn't love her anymore!"

"I did love her, you jackass! What I did, I did for her! So don't you tell me I didn't love her! In fact, I'm happy that she's getting married! I want her to be happy!"

"Exactly, McCloud. She will be happy because she'll be away from a failure like you! And besides, I doubt you're relationship with Jasmine will last!"

"Well that's where you're wrong, Panther. My new relationship will last forever. Also, I owed you something for a long time." Fox growls and delivers a right hook, sending Panther into the table again.

All of the patrons in the restraunt look over to see what was going on. Krystal ran over to Panther in order to check on him while Falco and Bill held Fox back. Things were getting out of control really fast. "Panther, what are you doing?! Are you out of you're mind?!" Krystal asks. "Don't worry, Krystal. Panther will take care of this." Panther replies angrily and charges at the vulpine and drives him over another table and onto the floor. Soon, everyone in the restraunt began shouting at the fight taking place between the two men. Fox lands several punches on Panther while Panther landed his own on the vulpine also. Behind the bar, the bartender reaches for the phone and dials 911. He then says, Send, help! A fight broke out!"

During the fight, Panther gains the upper hand over Fox, sending him into another table. Panther then began to deliver powerful right hooks to Fox's face, leaving a bloody nose. He shouts, "Still think you care about that Jasmine girl?! She's nothing! A nobody! Just like you and you're father!"

Hearing that very insult, Fox felt the spark inside him reignite causing him to catch Panther's fist just before it would make contact with his face. The feline becomes scared as Fox lifts it up slowly and Fox even began to stand up until he was at eve level and delivers a powerful head-butt causing Panther to stumble backwards and catch himself on the bar dazed. Fox walks over to Panther shouting, "Jasmine is not a nobody! She's an amazing person inside and out! Unlike Krystal, she's kind, trusting, reliable, and brave!" Fox grabs Panther by his shirt and prepares to deliver a powerful punch leaving Panther even more afraid but Fox stops himself because he knew that his father wouldn't want his son to become a killer like Panther. "No, that's not what she would want of me." the vulpine says releasing Panther.

Fox begins to walk away from Panther as he was breathing heavily. Krystal runs over to the feline to check on him. She asks, "Panther, are you alright?" "I will be after I finish McCloud once and for all!" he shouts pulling out a weapon but he drops it when a gunshot hits his weapon. Everyone turns and sees that the shooter was Jasmine with her blaster. Eventually, police arrive on the scene and after taking statements from all of patrons about what happened, police arrest Panther and proceed to escort him out. Outside, Fox was being looked over by paramedics with Jasmine by her side along with other Star Fox team members also. Just then, Krystal walks up to Fox causing the vulpine to fell guilty over what happened tonight.

"Fox, I'm really sorry about what happened here tonight." Krystal says apologetically.

"No Krystal, I'm the one who should be sorry, I never should've acted like that but I couldn't just stand by and let Panther oush my friends around like that. Are you gonna be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be okay, Fox. Will you be okay, Fox?"

"Don't worry about me, Krystal. I'll be alright."

With that, the group began to go there seperate ways for night. Later back at Fox's apartment, Fox way lying down in his bed but he was still awake because he felt guilti about what happened tonight between him and Panther. He began to fell that he wasn;t fit to bwe forgiven by Krystal. "I'm sorry, Krystal." Fox says before drifting off to sleep. Meanwhile, at Krystal and Panther's apartment, Krystal was in the exact same position as Fox too because she felt bad becaue of what Panther did last night. But mostly, she was upset and angry because Panther attempted to kill Fox in the bar. "I'm sorry, Fox. I just wish there was a way we can be together again." Krystal requests before falling to sleep herself, but fate had plans for the two of them.

Hey guys, I made some changes to the end of this chapter because I felt that I shouldn't have treated Krystal like that. I did research on the endings of Star Fox command and I now understand them. Anyway, I assure you guys Fox and Krystal will get back together again. For now, stay frosty everyone. Also, I have other plans for Oikinny later in the chapter.
