Note: I've got nothing much to say here. However, I do apologize if this chapter took longer than the last three. I was busy with all sorts of stuff, so I didn't have time to work on this one. Now that I have it done, I can relax for a bit. Before we move on, I have something to say to two reviewers.

Big Bossk Man 92: Sadly, nausea after going through sexual assault is never a good sign. Even if Krystal gets over it, it could lead to something else. Also, I wonder which story you could be referring to when you say I made a homage to your story. Is it one of your Demon Universe stories or any of the stories centering around Star Wolf?

The White Wolf named Alex: I didn't think that you would comment on here, but I don't mind. But, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Krystal's rapists need to suffer for their crimes, be it from the justice system or from a vigilante. The vigilante might be brutal in their methods, though.

Now that I have done that, it's time for chapter four.

Chapter 4: Breaking Point

Upon hearing that a shooting was happening down on Corneria, Krystal knew that she had to go back to work. Putting her new outfit on, the cobalt vixen ran out of the bathroom, eager to join her teammates on their new mission. Once she made it to the docking bay, Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Miyu were surprised to see her ready for action. As their teammate had just gotten out of the hospital, they didn't want her to immediately head back to work. They figured that the Cerinian would be at the Great Fox, watching their progress. She wouldn't be alone, however, as ROB64 was in charge of maintaining the Great Fox when everyone was out.

"Let's not waste time, everyone!" Krystal spoke. "We need to get down there!"

"Actually, Krystal, I think you should stay here." Fox said.

"But I want to help!" The cobalt vixen said.

"It's better for you to stay here, Krys." Falco said. "Besides, you need more time to stabilize."

"Not that having you with us wouldn't be fun." Miyu said. "It would just be hard to take you on a mission without fearing that you would lose your mind."

"I understand." Krystal said, letting out a defeated sigh.

"Just hang here for now." Fox said, putting his hand on her shoulder. "ROB will keep you company until we get back."

Krystal then turned around, deciding to head back in the main room for the time being. Once she got there, she saw Fay standing next to the couch.

"Did they tell you to stay behind?" Fay asked.

"Yeah." Krystal said. "They have a point, I should recover before going on missions again."

"I'll stay with you, so that you're not alone." The spaniel said.

"Thank you, Fay." The cobalt vixen smiled.

"Anytime." The canine said.

Sitting down on the couch, Krystal decided to watch TV with Fay. The spaniel had told her teammates that she was staying behind, so that the cobalt vixen wouldn't be alone. Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Miyu had gone down to Corneria, while Peppy was at the General's Tower. As such, both Fay and Krystal were alone, with only ROB to keep them company. They waited for their teammates to get back, but agreed to answer any calls the Great Fox would get. For now, the two decided to relax for the time being.

Peppy sat in the General's office, waiting for him to arrive. As he waited, the hare still felt shocked by the news about what had happened recently. Not only had three soldiers of the CDF been discharged, but they were the ones responsible for a robbery in the Tower. To make matters worse, they had brutalized Krystal and escaped with their actions, with help from an accomplice. He wanted to go after those bastards and kill them himself, but he felt that urge drain. Chances are, they could've been well-hidden or on a different planet, primarily due to their training telling them when to move.

After a minute, Peppy watched as General Pepper walked into the office. He was holding a clipboard, apparently having done inventory earlier. Bill and Art were behind the hound dog, closing the door as soon as he entered. Once he sat down at his desk, the General looked up and saw Peppy sitting nearby.

"Oh, Peppy, I didn't see you there!" General Pepper spoke. "Is there something that you need?"

"Why, General?!" Peppy snapped. "Why didn't you have those demented creeps killed before they could go out and harm more people?!"

For a second, General Pepper was taken aback by Peppy's tone of voice. He had no idea what the hare was talking about, and being yelled at over something he didn't do startled him. Bill and Art were just as surprised as he was, with the former nearly falling over. Peppy only glared at them in rage, wanting an answer to his question.

"Peppy, my friend, I have no idea what you're talking about." General Pepper calmly said.

"Don't play dumb, sir!" Peppy said. "You know full well that I'm talking about the three soldiers who were dishonorably discharged!"

"He's referring to Vicks, Wedge, and Johnston, General." Art spoke.

Now knowing why Peppy was angry, the General continued speaking to him, trying to calm down his associate.

"Now, I can tell that you're upset about Captain Wedge, Sergeant Johnston, and Lieutenant Vicks escaping custody, but there are other things we need to worry about!" He said. "We still don't know who stole those files concerning certain individuals in the Lylat System, so we should start looking for the thieves!"

"Well, the three bastards are the thieves who stole those files!" Peppy stated. "They had help from an accomplice, who just so happens to be the bartender from The Lazy Goat over on Corneria College!"

"Randall Grizz?" The General said. "There's a file on him, and we've got accusations on him, but no evidence of criminal activity."

"In that case, here's some criminal activity from him just recently!" The hare said. "He, along with the disgraced soldiers, committed kidnapping, drugging, assault, battery, torture, and rape!"

"He did?" The hound dog asked. "Who did they do that to?"

"I don't want to say too much, but it was someone who was on one of the files they had stolen." The lepus said. "They shot her with a drug that prevented her from using her special ability."

Upon hearing that, it didn't take long for General Pepper to figure out who Peppy was talking about. Krystal was an important asset to Star Fox, with her telepathy, piloting skills, and smarts. The fact that her attackers managed to find a drug that could stop her telepathy was not something that he was expecting. Hearing about her being brutalized was bad enough, but it was worse when Peppy mentioned that she was drugged. There wasn't a known drug in the Lylat System that could stop psychic powers, which made it all the more shocking. Either the disgraced soldiers made it with their accomplice, or they had managed to locate a chemical that could keep a Cerinian from using their powers.

"Gee, that's absolutely bonkers!" Pepper said. "I can't believe that they were able to stop her from using her powers!"

"That means we need to go after them as quick as we can, General!" Peppy said.

"Peppy, I'd love to send my boys after them, but they're currently out dealing with something else." The General said. "There's a shooting at the mall, and they went there with the cops."

"Why did you call Fox and the others then?" The hare asked.

"Because Officer Black told me that he would like to speak to Krystal, assuming she got back to the Great Fox." The hound dog said. "For now, let's just hope that the shooters are stopped before there are any casualties."

Peppy only sat down, deciding to wait until the shooting cleared up. He hoped that his team would be able to, in the very least, take down one of the shooters. While he had faith in Officer Black, the hare knew that he couldn't handle everything on his own. There were plenty of officers, but they would probably have trouble with the shooters. An extra hand is what they would need, even if the General called Star Fox only to escort Officer Black to the Great Fox. Peppy just hoped that no one would die in their attempts to stop the shooters.

Back at the Great Fox, Krystal was laying on the couch, watching some TV with Fay. Her eyes began to droop, meaning that she was falling asleep. As such, Fay watched after the cobalt vixen. She hoped to wake her friend up if she were having a nightmare. With the rest of the team down on Corneria, the spaniel was the only one in the Great Fox who could be supportive of the Cerinian. It was only a matter of time before they came back.

"We're home!" Fox's voice rang out.

Fay shook Krystal awake, then turned to face her teammates. Fox was the first to enter the room, with Miyu behind him. Up next were Falco and Slippy, but they didn't seem to be in any hurry. Everyone was unscathed, as if they hadn't gone through with the mission at all. While that wasn't surprising to Fay, what was surprising was that they had brought back a visitor: Officer Black. He appeared to have gotten a ride from someone in the team.

"Officer Black!" Fay spoke. "I hope that no one in the team has done anything wrong!"

"Actually, Miss Spaniel, I need to talk to one of your teammates." Officer Black said. "Has Krystal been released from the hospital yet?"

Upon hearing his voice, Krystal sat up, looking the visiting Officer Black in the eyes. He looked back at her, trying to appear friendly. The expression on the mule's face did not fool anyone. Now that she had her telepathy back, Krystal could tell that he wanted to talk to her. She was afraid to say anything, primarily due to what happened to her. The cobalt vixen hoped that her teammates could help her out.

"Now that you've revealed yourself, I would like to ask you some things." Officer Black spoke.

"Ask away, Officer." Krystal said. "I'll answer your questions as soon as you ask them."

Fay turned the TV off, knowing that it would be distracting. Fox and Falco sat near Krystal, hoping to provide her some comfort. Miyu stood by the elevator, wondering if more cops would be coming to the Great Fox. Slippy only stood by, waiting to see how things would escalate. Officer Black looked at Krystal, intent on getting his interview done. Krystal decided not to let her telepathy detect the questions, as a way of respecting his authority.

"We've caught the shooters, Krystal." Officer Black spoke. "However, once we subdued them, they saw McCloud and said that they had files on him. Three of them were former soldiers, while the fourth was a bartender. With help from the CDF, my boys got them before they could kill anyone. Do these men ring any bells?"

"I-I have heard of those hooligans." Krystal said. "They had spoken about the first three on the radio."

"Have you encountered them before?" The mule asked.

"Yes, I have, about a week ago." The cobalt vixen said. "They all saw me in separate places, but I wound up encountering them all at the same time."

"Did they speak about the files at that moment?" The equine asked. "Did they talk about planning a shooting?"

"No, but they surrounded me." The vulpine said. "When I tried to get away, one of the disgraced soldiers, former Sergeant Johnston, grabbed me and shot me up with something that left me unable to use my telepathy!"

"What did they do next, ma'am?"

Krystal stammered for a moment. She was afraid of telling Officer Black what had happened to her. Even if he was a member of Corneria's main law enforcement outside of the CDF, the cobalt vixen got cold feet when he asked her what happened next. Her lips quivered as she struggled to keep it together. Officer Black noticed this, but he signaled for the rest of Star Fox to reassure their teammate. She had been victimized recently, and he wanted to know what happened, so that the former CDF soldiers and their accomplice could be imprisoned.

"It's okay, Krystal." Fox spoke.

"Go ahead and tell him." Falco said.

"They destroyed my communicator, dragged me to a car and shoved me into the trunk." Krystal spoke, trying her hardest to keep from crying. "They took me to the forest, where they started talking about how they had files on certain people in the Lylat System, including myself. I tried to escape from them, and I even screamed for someone to call the police. My words fell on deaf ears, so my captors Captain Wedge, Lieutenant Vicks, Sergeant Johnston, and Randall Grizz dragged me back into the forest. When I tried to get away from them again, they began to rip my clothes off and beat me. Then that was when it happened!"

"Were you sexually assaulted, Krystal?" Officer Black asked.

"I was!" The cobalt vixen cried. "They beat me, they called me names, they touched me, they groped me, they squeezed my arms, they forced themselves into me, they licked me, they took pictures of me once they were done, and they left me for death! I've trained in martial arts, I've fought to the death before, and I couldn't stop these bastards from violating me!"

"What happened next?" The mule asked.

"I was found by someone, and I think he called an ambulance." The Cerinian said, tears running down her face. "As much as I want to thank him, that doesn't change the fact that four creeps had brutalized me."

"Well, they're in custody now, kid." The MacBethian said. "Once the charges are made against them, they won't be getting out of jail for a LONG time. I'll make sure of it, because those bastards need to pay!"

"I hope that they do, Officer." Krystal said. "I hope that they do."

A few minutes later, Falco agreed to take Officer Black down to Corneria. Once they were gone, Krystal decided to head back to her apartment. Before doing so, she went to her room and grabbed a black hoodie, which Fox had been keeping in her room in case she needed it. Putting it on, the cobalt vixen concealed her identity, hoping to keep the media away from her. Being raped was one thing, but she didn't need to be hounded by journalists and sensationalists. All the Cerinian needed was to recover.

Upon entering the docking bay, Krystal promised Fox that she would call if she needed anything. She flew out of the Great Fox, intent on reaching the apartment building where she lived. Once she was in Corneria City, the cobalt vixen landed on the roof, where no one would see her. She went into the building, making her way to her apartment. The Cerinian opened the door when she got there, quickly closing it behind her. No one had seen her, but she had a feeling the tenants knew that she was back.

Sitting on her bed, Krystal felt like taking a nap. She had brought her medicine and incense cartridges with her, so that she could sleep better. The cobalt vixen didn't want to sleep, but her body disagreed.

While laying down, Krystal heard a knock on the door. Letting out a moan of pain, her body still feeling sore, she walked over to the door. The cobalt vixen's telepathy told her that her visitor wasn't a stranger, but she didn't want to talk to them at the moment. It wasn't because she hated them, but rather because she just wanted to get some rest. Hopefully, her visitor would understand, given the ordeal she had been through. The Cerinian opened the door, but turned away from it for a moment.

"I see that you're back in your apartment."

The visitor was Wolf, who looked happy to see Krystal. It was a given, considering how she was his daughter. Ever since the two attended a father-daughter dance, they became closer. As such, there was no reason for Wolf to not visit his illegitimate child, largely because he was unable to while she grew up on Cerinia. It had been something he wanted to do ever since the cobalt vixen was born, as he had seen her during one visit. To make a long story short, the one-eyed lupine had his eye gouged out and was told to leave and never return by Opal Bodimead, who was incensed by him partaking in an affair with his wife, Estelle Bodimead.

"Dad," Krystal spoke, "I just got here. If you want to come in for a second, you can."

"I just thought that you would like to know that they caught the bastards who put you in the hospital." Wolf said.

"I know, Officer Black told me." The cobalt vixen said.

"Too bad, too." The one-eyed lupine said. "I was hoping to catch them out somewhere and skin them alive, one by one! I would've even let you or Fox do it!"

"Well, they're in custody now, so there's not much we can do." The Cerinian said.

"Anyway, I just wanted to make sure that you were alright, considering what happened to you." The Venomian said.

"I'm feeling a bit better." She said. "Hopefully, the medicine and therapy will be enough to help me feel good again."

"I hope so, sweetie, I hope so." He said.

Letting out a sniffle, Krystal hugged Wolf. Her father hugged her back, even giving her a kiss on the forehead. Once they broke apart, the cobalt vixen went into her apartment. She sat down on her bed, deciding to use the mist machine as she took a nap. Laying down on her bed, the Cerinian fell asleep. The incense entered her nose, helping her to sleep better. With her stuffed animals near her, Krystal was peaceful.

Meanwhile, at Randorn's house, Sabre was getting ready to go on a trip with Fara. They had overheard the news of Krystal's attack from Fox, which broke their hearts. The cobalt vixen had been their friend ever since she met them back on Cerinia, and they had been like an extended family to her. When Cerinia was destroyed, they had thought that they had lost each other. Luckily, Krystal had found them on Fortuna after the Aparoid invasion had been stopped. Of course, everything that she had done for them had been eclipsed by how they felt over what happened to her.

"Are you finished packing up, Sabre?" Randorn asked.

"Not yet." Sabre said. "I don't know if I even want to head out now, considering what had happened."

"I know," the old wolf said, "but the men who had brutalized Krystal are in custody now. As much as I would like to use my magic to end them, we cannot do anything about it."

"Can you tell Krystal that I wanted to see her in the hospital, but was unable to?" The younger wolf asked.

"I'll do that, boy, I'll do that." The mage said.

Nodding his head, Sabre then walked out of the house, leaving Randorn by himself. Once he was alone, the lupine mage felt the urge to call Krystal and see how she was doing. However, he stopped himself from doing so. Given how victims of certain crimes (outside of murder) needed to recover, the Cerinian decided that it was better for the former princess to have some time to herself. She was, after all, in a team known for taking down criminals and villains. If she could handle her job, she can handle herself. Well, aside from being grabbed and raped by four disturbed individuals, that is.

A few days went by, and Krystal was talking to her psychologist, Dr. John Sutcliffe. While she had told him about what she had been up to with her family, friends, and teammates, she then described her rape to him. The pigeon was shocked by how violently she was attacked. He was even more surprised to learn that she had survived all of that. Even though the avian was glad to hear that she was getting better, he felt as though something else was about to happen. After all, some cases of sexual assault have lead to pregnancy.

"Now that my attackers have been incarcerated, I can't do what I wanted to do to them." Krystal spoke. "I want to rest easy, but I fear them breaking out of prison."

"Well, if they're found guilty, then they won't be getting out of prison for a long time." Dr. Sutcliffe said. "If they're in jail, you can rest easy, and be thankful that your friends and family are supporting you. In some cases, the victim was disowned by their family, either due to traditional mindset or simply agreeing with the rapists."

"I'm glad that my loved ones aren't like that, though Opal would have dropped me like a dime if I had been through something like this on Cerinia." The cobalt vixen said.

"Your team isn't like that." The pigeon said. "They're there for you, and I'll even be there for you."

"Thank you, sir." The Cerinian said, giving him a hug before quickly letting go. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to use the bathroom."

Dr. Sutcliffe opened the door to his office, allowing Krystal to head to the bathroom. He watched as the cobalt vixen began to run down the hallway, letting out gagging noises. It sounded as if she were going to vomit. Upon hearing that, and knowing what nausea after sexual assault usually meant, the pigeon decided to give the Great Fox a call. At first, he dialed the main number, only to be met with a robotic voice. The avian then dialed up Fox McCloud's number, hoping that he would respond.

"Hello?" A voice came out of the phone.

"Is this Fox McCloud I am speaking to?" Dr. Sutcliffe asked.

"Yeah." Fox's voice spoke. "You're Krystal's therapist, right?"

"Yes, and I'm going to ask you to do something." The pigeon spoke.

"Ask away, Dr. Sutcliffe, I'm listening." The orange tod said.

"Can you keep an eye out on Krystal?" The avian said. "I overheard her vomiting as soon as she went to the bathroom after our session. I just want to make sure that she's not suffering from anything bad."

"Why are you concerned?" The vulpine asked.

"Because, sometimes, sexual assault can lead to a forced pregnancy. Just check on her and make sure that she hasn't become pregnant from her attack."

"I'll do that."

"Thank you. Provide her with any comfort she needs, Mr. McCloud!"

Hanging up his phone, Dr. Sutcliffe saw Krystal walking out of the bathroom. She looked absolutely sick, as if she had just caught a cold. However, the cobalt vixen brushed it off and started to make her way outside. This only made Dr. Sutcliffe more concerned for her. Considering how four men had forced themselves into the Cerinian, the pigeon was hoping that she hadn't gotten pregnant from the attack. If she was pregnant with their children, he couldn't imagine how she would react.

The moment she got outside, Krystal started to walk to her Arwing. As she walked, she felt nauseous, having not gotten over it after that trip to the bathroom. The cobalt vixen climbed into her ship, trying to keep herself together. She took some anti-nausea medicine, but it wasn't having much of an effect. Kicking her Arwing into gear, the Cerinian wanted to take flight, but she was worried about what would happen if her nausea took over. Before she could even get off the ground, she saw that Katt was trying to contact her.

"Katt," Krystal said, "I hope that this is important, because I feel awful!"

"Hon, those creeps are going on trial today!" Katt said. "They've pleaded innocent, but the CCPD didn't have it and took them to court!"

"That's good to hear!" The cobalt vixen said. "I hope that they're found guilty, because they deserve to rot in jail!"

"The Judge wants you to appear in court to give your testimony, Krystal!" The pink cat's voice said. "He's having the bailiff interview everyone that your rapists attacked in the past, and he wants you to tell him what all they did to you!"

"Oh, I'm going to give him SUCH a testimony!" The Cerinian said. "I'm going to make a surprise appearance at the court house, and I'm going to make sure EVERYONE hears what monsters those creeps are!"

At the court house, Krystal made her way to the stand. When the bailiff gave her permission, she told him what had happened to her. The cobalt vixen's voice jittered as she went into details about how bad her attack was. All around her, everyone listened and had a different reaction. The jury and several of the people in attendance were shocked, with some of them even crying. As for the Judge, she wasn't visibly emotional, but she had nothing but white-hot hatred for the defendants.

Once she had finished giving her testimony, Krystal saw Vicks, Wedge, Johnston, and Mr. Grizz looking back at her, giving off smiles. Clearly, they were thinking that her story wasn't enough evidence for the Judge and the Jury to find them guilty. When they were questioned, they said all sorts of stuff, from claiming that they had never seen Krystal before to saying that she was lying, like how "they" all did. Disgusted by them, Krystal used her telepathy to give them a scare. She watched as their faces went from smug to frightened.

I'm not the one lying here, gentlemen! Krystal transmitted her thoughts. Your lies will be proven false in no-time, and you will be found guilty! Depending on your crimes, and how well you'll do in prison, I'd say that you'll be fried or given lethal injection! It might not be close to what you deserve, but it's still good enough!

With her time in the courtroom up, Krystal was free to leave. The cobalt vixen smiled back at her attackers, as they had gotten a taste of her telepathy. She climbed into her Arwing, deciding to relax for the rest of the day. Even if her testimony wasn't enough to prove their guilt, the Cerinian felt that there would be something else that would incriminate Vicks, Wedge, Johnston, and Mr. Grizz. If another victim or witness came forward with more evidence, then it would be enough. All that mattered was how true it would be.

Days went by, and the final part of the trial had arrived. It was televised, so that everyone could watch it and see what would happen. As such, Krystal invited her teammates, Star Wolf, Bill, Katt, Art, and Randorn over to watch the trial. She tried to get Maria Fairweather to come as well, but her invitation was declined. The doe probably had a mission, which meant that she would be unable to watch it. However, Krystal didn't mind, as she felt that she had enough people over.

"I really hope that those guys are found guilty, because not a single one of them deserves to roam free!" Slippy said.

"They should get the chair or the needle!" Fox said. "Letting them live is dangerous, and sending them to prison will only teach them to become better criminals!"

"Execution isn't just necessary, it's also a requirement at this point!" Falco said. "Not a single one of them belongs out in public!"

"Hopefully, the Jury finds them guilty." Art said. "The General sent them the files on Wedge and his accomplices, so that should be enough to incriminate them."

"With everything they had done, being put in prison is inevitable." Bill said.

As Krystal watched the trial, she waited for the Jury to reach their verdict. They had days to decide on it, and now it was time for them to determine the fate of the defendants. There was no doubt that they would be found guilty, considering their criminal record, but something could've changed that. Krystal hoped that it wouldn't be changed, but anything could happen. The cobalt vixen was in anticipation, her heart racing. She wanted to be calm, but she couldn't.

"Are you waiting for the Jury's verdict, Krystal?" Panther asked.

"Of course I am!" Krystal said. "I want to take my mind off of it, but I can't!"

"None of us can, so keep yourself together!" Leon said.

"Just calm down, Krystal." Wolf said, putting his hand on his daughter's shoulder.

"Hey, the Judge is looking at the Jury!" Fay said.

On the TV, everyone watched as the Judge had the Jury stand up. She asked if they had reached a verdict. The foreman told her that they had time to think about the crimes the defendants committed, saying that none of them would've expected such horrible actions from three CDF soldiers and a bartender. Given the cases that had been discussed before, the Jury had to decide on whether the defendants were guilty or innocent. That was when the foreman told the Judge what their verdict was. He cleared his throat as he read the card that had the verdict on it.

Wedge, Vicks, Johnston, and Mr. Grizz were found to be not guilty. The entire courtroom was shocked as they smiled, having been freed from jail time. As for Star Fox, Star Wolf, Katt, Bill, Art, and Randorn, they were horrified and enraged. Even Leon was practically fuming, despite how he now had the opportunity to torture the former CDF soldiers and the bartender. Star Wolf were space pirates, but even they had no respect for rapists. Bill and Art wanted to go after the defendants themselves, wanting to wipe them off the face of Corneria.

"I can't believe this!" Peppy cried.

"This isn't real!" Katt said. "Please, someone tell me that this is a joke!"

"The Jury was shown the evidence and their verdict was 'not guilty'?!" Miyu practically screamed.

"Now those bastards are going to walk free!" Falco shouted.

"It's madness!" Leon said. "Complete madness!"

"We should've went after them and killed them days before!" Slippy cried.

"This is horrible." Panther said, having a blank stare.

"They need to have a retrial, this is stupid!" Fay yelled. "There's no way the Jury could be that dense!"

"And here I thought that the justice system on Corneria was better than on Cerinia!" Randorn spoke. "It's no better!"

"Those goddamn idiots, how can they let those beasts loose?!" Wolf growled.

"It's a travesty, right Krystal?!" Fox yelled.

Krystal didn't say anything, nor did Bill or Art. The two soldiers looked at the cobalt vixen, finding that she had a blank look on her face. That was until her left eye twitched. In addition to that, she had her hands on her abdomen. Her mouth quivered as she let out a small gag. As such, the Cerinian stood up, her face contorting.

"Krystal?" Fox asked in concern.

"I think I'm going to be sick!" Krystal cried, running to her bathroom.

Once Krystal had went to the bathroom, everyone overheard her violently losing her lunch. Unlike the previous occasions, she was heard letting out a sob. The cobalt vixen broke down crying as soon as she stopped vomiting. Fox and Wolf stood up, deciding to go check on her. The door wasn't closed, so they could see what the Cerinian was doing. In fact, once they approached the bathroom, they saw her taking out a small device.

"Krystal?" Fox spoke.

"Shut the door!" Krystal yelled, trying to calm herself down!"

"Why do you have pregnancy tests?" Wolf asked. "Krystal, why?"

"Please, don't look at me!" The cobalt vixen whimpered. "Close the door! I don't want you to see this!"

Instead of closing the door, Fox and Wolf turned away. They didn't want to, but Krystal didn't want them to look at her. Wolf in particular wanted to go into the bathroom and hug her. He only wanted to comfort his little girl, no matter how she felt. Fox on the other hand only wanted to respect her privacy, even though she was having an emotional meltdown. Each sob that came from her mouth was painful, and it made him tear up a little.

Krystal then walked out of the bathroom, clutching the pregnancy test. She had suddenly stopped crying, as if a switch had been hit in her body. Fox and Wolf tried to hug the cobalt vixen, but she pushed past them. Everyone else stood up and approached her, only to see what she had in her hands. It didn't take a genius to see what she had been doing. Her eyes were widened, and she stood with an unnerving calmness.

"I'm pregnant." Krystal said, monotonously.

"Oh no." Leon said out of sarcasm, then his complexion changed. "Oh no!"

"I'm pregnant." The cobalt vixen looked at everyone, having a blank, icy stare.

Note: Life just keeps getting worse for Krystal, now doesn't it? Not only was she drugged, kidnapped, raped, tortured, and beaten, but now she's pregnant with the children of her attackers. Will she get an abortion, or will she decide to have the babies? How will everyone react to what her decision is? Why did the Jury vote "not guilty"? Will the infamous Kelly Robison show up?

Until next time, guys, this is Newcomer24, signing off. Peace!
