Chapter 1

A new beginning

It was eight months that day that Team Starfox defeated the Anglar emperor and four that Krystal left Fox heartbroken. Many other women tried to make a way into his heart but they were all easily rejected. Slippy had left the team to start his family with Amanda. Now the only members left on the legendary Starfox team were Falco, Fox and a young half sayan, half wolf that helped Fox and Falco on an ambush on the planet Titania. His fur was of a vibrant green with some streaks of white on his chest and muzzle and his eyes were of an ocean blue. He was on his early twenty's and used his Silver Fang, a customized ship with moderate shielding, multi targeting, a twin cannon, an enormous capability for evasive maneuvers and gigantic speed. The Silver Fang looked pretty much like an Arwing II, except that it was completely silver, had a sky-blue decal of the Starfox emblem on each wing and was covered with some impressive decals of nebulas and novas. His name was Leonardo. He liked to hear music as much as entering an all-out aerial dogfight. He also had an incredible gift for playing the guitar and was had some slight telepathic abilities due to his intensive training.

That morning an alarm that Fox had never heard before rang. That was because Leonardo had changed the alarms in order to identify the type of danger the Great Fox was in.

"Leo! What's the alarm?" – Fox asked before jumping into his Arwing II.

"I've got a bad feeling about this…" – Falco said when he entered his Sky Claw.

"It's Starwolf…" – was Leonardo's only reply.

"THERE IS AN INCOMING TRANSMISSION." – said ROB through the radio.

"Show it." – said the three in unison.

When a holographic screen appeared on the three ship's cockpit they saw Wolf O'Donnell, who was obviously surprised to see a third member on the team.

"What do you want O'Donnell?" – asked Fox with an obvious discontent from seeing the one who always attacked his team without mercy.

"Seeing that you want to go straight to the point I'll tell you. We want to put an end to your team once and for all. Come to Sauria or your friends shall suffer." – said the wolf with a smirk before his image disappeared from the screen. Fox was furious with the wolf's treachery.

"Let's go." – Mccloud said determined to make them pay if they laid a hand on even one of his friends.

The three ships exited the Great Fox and made their way to Sauria. When they arrived at Thorntail Hollow they saw four Wolven in front of the Earthwalker temple. The three pilots exited their ships to investigate. Falco had his uniform from the end of Starfox Adventures; Fox had his from Starfox Assault; and Leonardo had one similar to Tapion's except that his was on some shades of blue. Fox and Falco took out their blasters and Leonardo took out his sword.

"Let's go carefully; it's most likely a trap Fox." – Leonardo said as quietly as he could.

Suddenly, a shot came from temple. Leonardo deflected it with his sword easily. He concentrated and discovered that the four elements were inside the temple, alone. There were no earthwalkers there. Leonardo told this to Falco and Fox and they prepared themselves for a strategic way of flushing them out of the temple. Falco and Fox hid on the walls outside of the temple as Leonardo was preparing a flash grenade and a smoke one. He threw the flash inside and placed the smoke outside so that they where protected from the flash. Just like planned the four of them came out of the temple with team Starfox ready for the fray.

"Where are the Earthwalkers?" – Leonardo asked them.

"We didn't see any. And by the way who are you?" – Panther replied.

"He's the newest member of team Starfox, Leonardo Earthspiner." – Answered Falco for him.

"Well then, let's get on to business. Krystal, you and Panther take out Mccloud, Leon, you can take care of Lombardi and I'll take care of that kid to show him his place." – said Wolf.

Leonardo sheathed his sword and looked at Wolf with a menacing look. Wolf just smirked.

"Giving up already?" – he teased.

Leonardo started to concentrate his power. A yellow aura appeared around his, his fur started to move like there was a wind beneath him. The "wind" started to increase drastically, as well as the yellowish aura around him. His green fur started to change colors from green to yellow. When he opened his eyes, they weren't of an ocean blue, but more of a baby sky blue. He let out a roar of power that stopped the wind beneath him but created and enormous wind explosion around him. Everyone was sent flying. He was now a Super Sayan.

"What in the world is this?" – asked Leon getting up.

"This, is a Super Sayan…" – answered Leonardo.

"A super sayan? How come you didn't tell us this Krystal?" – asked Panther.

"Because she couldn't read my mind. And that's because I can block out those attempts." – answered the golden wolf.

"Charge at him." – ordered Wolf.

Leonardo started hovering. He dashed at Wolf with a punch to the face that sent him flying against the shop. He created a new entry and exit.

"Anyone else?" – Leonardo asked.

A red laser came from the shop. Wolf wasn't done yet. The sayan deflected with his fist.

The starwolf team and starfox team alike were awe struck from his power.

Fox suddenly heard a voice inside his head.

"Fox, I need to talk to you."

"Leo?" – he thought.

The voice answered.

"No it's me, Krystal."

"What is it?" – he thought, still concentrated on the fight, but his emotions were overpowering him. Sorrow, regret, love, hatred with himself, it was all there, ready to be read like a book.

"I need to talk to you in private Fox."

"Very well, come and meet me at Cape Claw tonight."

"I'll see you then."

"Krystal?"

"Yes?"

"Forgive me…"

That was the small conversation that was held that morning before starwolf ran from the battle. Leonardo went back from super sayan and they though of what to do next. They decided to stay on Sauria until they found out what happened there. They set camp next to the warpstone to start the investigations the next day. That night, Fox was getting ready to go and meet Krystal.

"Before you go, let me warn you: if I sense more than one life form approaching Cape Claw, I will take them all down." – said Leonardo.

"Very well, Leo. All the help that I can get is appreciated." – Fox said sadly.

"You are afraid of what she might say, am I right?" – asked a concerned wolf.

"I guess that's it." – said Mccloud before exiting to Cape Claw.

A lone fighter was heading towards Sauria. Krystal had managed to go without the others noticing. She had to tell Fox that she was sorry and that she still loved him. Even though she seemed to be without regrets at first, she started to fell sad and lonely, mostly because the rest of team starwolf saw her as a tool, and the one who she had started a relationship, Panther, was nothing more than a casanova.

Fox was already waiting for her at Cape Claw when she arrived. He was sitting on the sand near the water. She landed her Cornerian Fighter near the place where the Hightop used to be. She sat down next to Fox. She could feel enormous waves of sorrow emanating from him. They stood like that for a while, under the starry sky and a crescent moon. The one that decided to break the silence was Fox.

"I'm sorry for being the jerk that I was when I made you exit the team after I vowed that I would always be by your side and I understand if you would rather stay with Caruso and starwolf." – he said with tears going down his muzzle. It was hard for him to say that with the feelings that he had for her. She understood that.

"Fox, I'm sorry if I made you suffer by disappearing twice and trying to start a new life, but after you sent me away from starfox I didn't know what to do and they offered to help me out." – she was also starting to cry. – "And I came here to tell you that I love you and not Panther."

Fox's heart beat stopped and then went to jackhammer mode. His flow of actions was beyond his control. He grabbed Krystal into a passionate embrace and a loving and hungry kiss. She quickly answered by putting her arms around his neck as his tongue entered her mouth and her tongue entered his mouth, tasting each other, feeling their love, as their tongues started wrestling, mixing their saliva. The orange fox and the blue vixen were in paradise. When they broke their kiss for air their gazes locked. His green eyes looked deeply into her blue ones as she caressed his muzzle, and as he wiped the tears, from hers.

"I love you too Krystal, I always did and I always will, and I swear by my life and soul that I will never hurt you again." – he promised.

The new couple fell asleep embraced in Cape Claw, awaiting their new adventures and dreaming together of their new and shiny future together. A green wolf smiled when he felt a wave of love instead of regret, sorrow or hatred and started to play the best ballad that he knew on his guitar. Even the warpstone was amazed with his song and he and Falco were overwhelmed with joy from the good news that Leonardo told them after the song, although the three promised that they wouldn't talk about it near the new couple until it was official.

"It's about time those two made up…" – said Falco happy for his best friend.
