This arc is going to turn out to be so lame compared to the other ones. But here goes, I can almost guarantee that You'll like the proceeding arcs better.

Scales
General Scales stared down the remaining Starfox team and thought to himself. "This ought to be more of a challenge compared to fighting just that toad. Fools, I once had the power of a Krazoa spirit, the Dark Lord Kefka gave me that much power and more back now." Scales smirked as he thought about this.
"Are you done smiling to yourself over there Scales?" Falco asked.
"After you Starfox." Scales said as he got his sword ready.
"Starfox team, let's go!" Fox said. The four of them ran forward at Scales. Fox jumped at Scales and attempted to kick him. Scales blocked it with his arms and Fox leaped back from Scales to allow Krystal to kick him in the stomach. Scales proved to be a whole lot faster than he looked however and he leaped back from it with incredible agility. Falco managed to hit him with his phantasm attack. This knocked Scales a little off balance, allowing Slippy to jump at him and kick off of his chest, knocking Scales down.
"Seems I underestimated you Starfox team." General Scales said. Scales stood up and went on the offensive. Scales charged at Falco with his hook. Falco unfortunately got clawed across the back by the attack, Scales then tried to behead him with his sword, but Fox pulled out his blaster and hit Scales' hand, forcing him to drop his sword. Scales then charged at Fox with an incredible burst of speed. Fox dodged the first few blows and Krystal attempted to leap in and help Fox, but with a swing of his arm, Scales knocked the two of them against a wall. Slippy ran over toward Scales' sword and tried to pick it up.
"Ugh… this… things… heavy…" Slippy said.
"Of course it's heavy, only I can lift it." Scales said menacingly as he stared at Slippy.
"Ulp…" Slippy gulped as Scales ran toward him. Slippy did manage to leap over scales and fire a charged blaster at him. This did hurt Scales a bit, but it didn't stop him from sending Slippy flying in to the nearest wall with his tail. Falco and Fox tried to intervene, but Scales picked up Falco, jumped over Fox and threw Falco in to Fox, sending them both sliding across the floor. Scales once again prepared to run Slippy through with his sword. Krystal then jumped in and delivered a kick across Scales' face. Scales turned around and stared menacingly at Krystal.
"I never got the chance to fight you last time Scales, this time I will succeed." Krystal said as she pulled out some small golden object. The object extended in to a magnificent golden staff that had a point and long blue gem at one end, and a somewhat rounded end with another gem embedded in it. The rounded end opened up somewhat and it began to glow.
"The staff." Fox said. Krystal began firing small fireballs from the opened end of the staff. Scales simply deflected the fireballs with his sword and he leaped in with his sword ready. Krystal and Scales were now engaged in a staff to sword battle. Krystal attempted to get in close for a combo, but Scales backhanded her with his hooked hand. The staff went flying out of her hands.
"Take this dino-breath." Falco said. He used his FireBird ability and tackled Scales really hard. Fox flipped in to the air and caught the staff mid-flip and spun it around like a martial arts pro before pointing one end of it at Scales.
"This isn't going to get any easier for you Scales." Fox said.
"I've had enough holding back on you. It's time to show you the might of dark magic." Scales roared and a dark aura was now visibly coming from him. Fox and Scales got in to a fight with each other. Scales swung his sword vertically; Fox rolled to the right and tried to do a sweep attack with the staff. Scales leaped over it andtried toembed his sword in to Fox's skull. Fox back flipped out of the way and then leaped forward with his staff. Fox launched in to a combo where he brought the staff to his left and spun it around to where it hit Scales under the chin multiple times, he then did the same thing on the right side. While Scales was stunned, Fox brought the staff behind him like a baseball bat and magical energy flowed down to the rounded end of the staff, when it was all focused there, Fox spun around and thwacked Scales with an insane amount of power.
"Is that all you've got Scales?" Fox asked.
"Of course not!" Scales stood back up with only a slight bruise on the side of his face.
"No way!" Fox gawked.
"No mercy!" Slippy began to open fire on Scales with his blaster once again. The lasers only seemed to bounce off of Scales unfortunately. Scales turned around and charged at Slippy and began clawing him with his hook. Slippy might have died had Falco and Krystal leaped in to the air and kicked Scales in the back.
"Rrrrrrooooaar!" Scales let off a roar and dashed around the room almost randomly. Everyone took a defensive position, but Scales knocked them down quite violently every time he passed by them. Fox finally used his staff's earthquake ability to trip up Scales, causing him to go sliding along the floor. While Scales was sliding, Falco leaped on to his back and began to mercilessly punch him while riding on his back. Scales then threw Falco off of his back and did a flip to land back on his feet. Scales then made a break for the weapon's hanger.
"Where's he going." Krystal asked.
"Oh no…" Slippy said. Scales came back out of the weapons hanger armed to the teeth with grenades, remote bombs, and he was even carrying a homing launcher.
"Die!" Scales began throwing grenades like mad at the Starfox team.
"Take cover!" Fox yelled, the team ran behind some crates and began to fire their blasters from behind the crates at Scales. Scales chucked a grenade behind their cover and forced them to come out of hiding. Scales then took aim at Krystal with his homing launcher. "Krystal!" Fox shouted. Scales fired and the missile exploded when it made contact with Krystal. When the smoke cleared, a barrier surrounded Krystal.
"I'm alright." Krystal said.
"Whew…" Fox breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not for long!" Scales began firing as many homing launcher rounds as he could. Fox and Falco turned on their reflector shields and sent two round crashing in to other rounds. Fox then took the staff and launched a small fireball down the barrel of the homing launcher Scales was holding.
"What the…?" The homing launcher exploded and Fox once again fired another shot at Scales, this time hitting one of the grenades tied around his torso, the initial explosion activated the remaining grenades and remote bombs tied to him.
"Yes!" The Starfox team cheered.
"RRRRROOOOOAAAARRR!" The team looked in horror as Scales dashed out of the smoke.
"Yipes!" Slippy tried to run out of the way but he fell and tripped. Scales actually tripped over Slippy and received a kick to his chin from Krystal.
"Falco, let's team up!" Fox said.
"You got it." Falco said. The two of them began to run around Scales so fast that it looked like several Foxes and Falcos were dashing around him. As they ran around him, they began to ignite on fire, finally they dashed across Scales, leaving a flaming X pattern. Scales finally fell down from the cross illusion/fire attack.
"Now to end it." Fox said. He aimed the staff and it began to blow out icy wind that slowly froze over Scales. When Fox was done, Scales was pinned under ice. "Whew… glad that's over." Fox said.
"Alright!" Slippy began to do a really bad victory dance. And boy, nothing rubs a victory in more than some bad dancing.
About an hour later…
"Do you have to go Fox?" Slippy asked.
"Yes Slippy, I have other places to be, and other worlds to help." Fox said.
"So do we." C. Falcon said.
"Indeed, the Alliance is still going strong, and we need to be prepared." Samus said.
"Sayonara team." Falco said.
"Good luck guys." Peppy said.
"Best of luck to you Fox." Krystal said.
"I'll be careful." Fox said. The four smashers walked back towards their respective ships and took off.
Meanwhile…
Scales was back down frozen in the hanger. A slash of light hit the ice and shattered it, Scales slowly got back up. "Curse you Starfox, I'll get you for this." Scales said.
"Oh really?" Came a mysterious voice.
"The Black Knight?" Scales said looking around. Indeed, a knight covered from head to toe in ebon armor with a red cape was standing there. "What is one of the Fates doing here? Especially when you're supposed to be at Arcadia." Scales demanded.
"You… are telling me where my place is?" The Black Knight asked coyly.
"Uh… well… I mean that is where Lord Kefka sent you isn't it?" Scales asked.
"Yes… but I found myself free for a few minutes, so I decided to see how badly you were doing on your end. But I didn't expect you to already fail." The Black Knight said.
"Well I was going to go after Fox and…" Scales began.
"How would you do that? When you were frozen under ice that wouldn't have melted for hours, long enough for Cornerians to capture you." The Black Knight asked.
"Well…" Scales started to explain, but the Black Knight drew his sword and spun it around a few times before pointing it at Scales. "You're not going to kill me are you?" Scales asked.
"Lord Kefka has little to no tolerance for failure, and you have nothing to show for your failure, so I figured I would just save him the trouble." The Black Knight said.
"You'll do no such thing!" Scales picked up his sword and charged at the Black Knight. Scales thrust his sword at the Black Knight's chest, the sword couldn't penetrate the armor of the Black Knight, but Scales tried striking at the armor in other places, still to no avail.
"I'm getting bored." The Black Knight swung his sword around and Scales' sword shattered in to pieces.
"That's not possible! My sword is made from the strongest alloys in the Lylat system." Scales said in horror.
"And yet it is no match for my Alondite." The Black Knight said. "Goodbye, and good riddance Scales." The Black Knight said. With inhuman speed, the Black Knight slashed through Scales like a hot knife through butter with his sword. Scales' body was now on the ground in a bloody mess, perfectly cleaved in two.
"I guess I should return to Arcadia now." The Black Knight said. "It's too bad Deathborn was already beaten to death by C. Falcon, I was hoping to have a little more fun. Oh well." The Black Knight then disappeared in to the shadows.

Yep, this is the end of the Lylat system arc. I know it was probably the worst arc overall thus far, but I think the last chapter was better than the previous chapters. Well let me know what you guys think.
