"A bright world, I see it. There are many creatures here, many different kinds, beasts of the ground and the sky. One stands out to me the most, a great winged creature, with scales instead of feathers, standing majestically near a waterfall. Next to the creature I see another, much smaller figure, with a young face and cat ears….. It all seems like a memory….. I miss them…..very much."Blade woke up with a jolt. She started to feel uncomfortable, so she quickly got out of her bed and headed out of her room. Before she could leave Fox interrupted her.

"Blade, I need to talk to you." he had a serious look on his face."Ugh…." she followed him to the command room, Blade was amazed by all the technical things in the room, flashing buttons, levers, many different things lay before her.

"Are you getting comfortable here?" Fox chuckled as he sat in his chair.

"Not really." Blade crossed her arms.

"Watch what you say. You don't know how long I'm letting you stay here….." Blade just rolled her eyes.

"By the way I was wondering, why did you even do this…..you attacked us, why?"

"I was trying to prove myself to Star Wolf!" Blade growled.

"…You're too reckless. There's something you're hiding isn't there?" he then noticed a mark on Blade's hand.

"What's this? A tattoo…? I don't get it."

"It's not a tattoo…." she hesitated.

"Forget it." she pulled her gloves from her pocket and put them on to hide the mark.

"Anyways, you're with Star Wolf aren't you? Why would you want to join them?"

"None of your business."

"I need to know." he looked at her more seriously.

"I've always admired them….that's all."

"This is about Wolf himself, isn't it?" Blade's eyes widened.

"Don't you mention that name!"

"You're not making this easy, Blade." Blade turned her head, trying to hide tears.

"You cannot let your emotions get the better of you, don't you know that Wolf is a careless jerk, he would not waste his time with you, how can you be fooled like this, I thought you were an independent cat, you certainly act like it, so why are you crying now? Blade?" Blade could not fight back her tears, she did not care what Fox thought of her, she just couldn't hold it in anymore. She was on her knees crying.

"You don't think I don't know that! How could you ever understand what I am feeling, I'm sure you've never had trouble finding someone to love, after all, you already have that vixen."

"Don't bring Krystal into this! What are you trying to hide?"

"I don't have to tell you anything, and I don't care what you say, I will fight to the death if I have to!" she growled.

"I don't want to fight you."

"Then what do you want from me? You're just using me to get information, and here I thought maybe Star Fox was a good team, but you'll really do anything to beat Wolf, won't you!"

"Wolf isn't a nice person, don't you get it?"

"Well neither are you."

"What is Wolf planning, I know that you must know something!"

"He isn't doing anything! Now back off, I'm tired of this!" she still had tears in her eyes, but now she was angry.

"I never wanted to hurt anyone, but if you're going to be like that then," she growled and slowly her hands had flames coming from them, she was about to hit Fox, but suddenly-

"Blade? What are you doing? I heard yelling." It was Hikari. Blade quickly regained control of her actions and the fire from her hands diminished.

"Ugh….."

"Blade are you…..ok? Were you and Fox fighting?" Hikari seemed sincerely concerned.

"It's nothing, this is over." Fox said, walking out of the room.

"I don't know what happened, but I was so angry….."

"It's ok Blade, just don't get too grumpy." Hikari chuckled.

"Humph." Blade just crossed her arms.

"What was that all about….?"

"Fox was trying to get information from me, I just got so mad, I almost attacked him." Blade sighed and sat down on a chair beside the control panel.

"You get angry a lot….don't you Blade?"

"It's always been like this, I get angry and I can't control myself, that's why I can't get close to people…"

"I thought you were kinda close to me though, are we not friends?" Blade paused and her eyes widened. She had not thought that Hikari thought of her as a friend.

"You know….with me like this….it's probably not a good idea for us to be friends either….." She started to cry.

"What? How can you say that…..you're really not that bad, Blade." Blade couldn't listen, she was trying to get away…from everything. She got up and tore past Hikari, she was ashamed of herself.

"Wait, stop-" suddenly everything changed, a loud crash was heard, and Blade and Hikari both stopped, red lights flashed throughout the ship. It was so unreal, what was happening? The Great Fox II was going down…..But strangely Blade was only thinking one thing.

"Will everyone be ok….?" that was her last thought before she slipped into unconsciousness.
