A Hero's Life Reboot Ep 22: Adventures in Cyber-Space Part 3
I don't own anything except my OCs. Jet Force Gemini is owned by Rareware. Star Fox Adventures is owned by Nintendo
The elevator slowly descends as Fox notices Krystal's nervousness. "Nervous?" "A bit. If this creature can worry a RedEye, then we must be careful." Fox places a hand on her shoulder and assures her. "We'll be okay, Krystal. We're not alone." He gestures to the others as Ben and Sam smile and nods and thumbs up at the vixen, making her smile at her new friends as they calm her nerves from reading their positive thoughts. "And don't worry, Krystal. We will conquer anything, if we work together." Juno assures with a smile as he pats his hand on her shoulder as he gestures to the 6 of them.
"But I admit, I'm a bit worried about this boss, Ben. After my last encounter with mutant creatures, I'm a bit scared." Sam spoke out as her memories of Animo and his ants were still fresh in her mind.
But as the elevator stops, they all walk onto a huge, square platform in a huge chamber with a lava river and metal beams all over the place, Ben assures the teen. "Relax, Sam! I may not have gotten past Dragon Rock, due to that annoying 'missle protection section', but I've seen this 'Drakor' before on the internet! Pfft… Just an oversize dragonfly bug! I can take him without my aliens!" Ben grins out with crossed arms.
Just then, a noise caught their ears as the redhead pointed up a finger. "Shuuu! Does anyone hear wings flapping?" "Yeah, Sam…. Me too." Fox spoke out in caution as they looked around for the noise. "I got a bad feeling about this..." Vela mumbles out as she aims her gun everywhere. Krystal's mind flares up as she places her hands on her temples, only for her eyes to flash open with a gasp. "We're not alone in here! I sense a massive being in here!"
THUD THUD THUD THUD A stomp, followed by more caught their attention as they all gazed at the end of the arena. Something lands near the edge and starts stomping its way toward the center, confronting the group. The 6 heroes all gazed up in awe and terror at the 20 ft being! It has red scales, a long, dragon-like face, webbed dragon wings, and horned antlered on its' head, that has yellow eyes that glows with evil. He has silver armor all over him, except for his head, neck, wings, arms, and long tail. He lastly has a 3-clawed sliver cannon for his left arm and places the Spellstone it's holding on its chest as it gazes around and grins down at the group. "I'm starting to hate this game..." Sam mumbles out as the being's shadow towers over them.
Intro:
The screen is black, only for a bolt of green lightning to make a flash of white light as upbeat music is heard.
Ben stands as he is smirking at the camera as a black with green bubbles background is behind the tween, making the boy raise both his arms and show off his new Omnitrix and then slaps down with a grin, making a flash of light.
"BEN 10!"
"He's a kid and he wants to have fun!"
Upgrade with hands on hips appears as a close-up of his face shows up in the background as a bolt of lightning comes down.
Big Chill flies across and freezes as the same thing happens to Swampfire, leaping out of an explosion.
"But when you need a superhero, he gets the job done!"
"BEN 10!"
Shock Rock smashes his fists together, sending out waves of electricity that affect the 4th wall.
"With A device that he wears on his arm."
"He can change his shape and save the world from harm!"
Ben poses with his Omnitrix, just as headshots of Shock Rock, Water Hazard, Big Chill, and Crashhopper show up, one-by-one.
Rath was staring at Grey Matter, who hopped along a bunch of platforms with the watch symbol on it. The tiger alien was confused before it turned into rage as he held his head in anger.
"When trouble's taking place."
Ben was then running towards the screen.
"He gets right in its face!"
"BEN 10!"
Humungousaur, Slapback, Fasttrack and Gravattack's headshots show up as well!
A green circuit board background is shown as 5 aliens show up in a row. Ben was staring at the 4th wall as his right side was shown. The aliens are Shock Rock, Fasttrack, Rath, Swampfire, Gravattack, and 4 Slapbacks.
"When lives are on the line."
The same thing happens with his left side as more aliens appear. The aliens are now: Big Chill, Water Hazard, Grey Matter, Humungousaur, Crashhopper, and Upgrade.
"It's hero time!"
"BEN 10!"
It ends with Ben and Alex, standing side to side with crossed arms and smirks as well as Normie and Madison on Ben's side and Sam and Clover on Alex's side the title appears above.
The group was stunned at the monster before them. They backed up a bit as the beast towered over them with an evil grin. "YOU SAID IT WAS A DRAGONFLY BUG!?" Sam cries out in panic to Ben, who then realizes something as he smacks his helmet. "OHHH! DRAKOR the dragon! I was thinking of Dogadon… Dogadon the dragon from Donkey Kong 64. You know, they are similar to one another in species. Except Dogadon wasn't biped, had cyborg armor, or looked very scary!" Ben cries out.
The beast roars out as it opens fire with his arm cannon, making the group split up as Fox cries out. "Take it down, guys!" The group opens fire as Drakor flies around, making it hard for it to dodge. Sam uses the chain gun to land some hits on its head, damaging it as it retaliates by breathing fire. She quickly rolls out of the way as Drakor swoops down and scraps its feet talons on the floor as the others get away before being sliced. Vela whips out her Tri-Rockets and starts firing away, but the rockets either miss or are blasted down by Drakor's arm cannon. "Can't get a clear shot on it!"
Ben was dodging and leaping around the arena as he tried to dial an alien. "Just need… WHOA!" He rolled out of the way and went back. "A few mins… GAAHH!" He leaps back as Drakor slams down, blowing the group back as he uses his fists and tail to try and crush them. "To get something!" He was unaware of Drakor lunging his sharp teeth at him. "BEN! LOOK OUT!" Sam quickly tackles him out of the way as Fox rushes up and lands some hits on the monster's head with his gunblade, making it back off as it holds its head from the pain. "What are you waiting for?! Hurry and up go alien!" "In case you haven't noticed, Sam! That's what I was trying to do! And can you at least hold off on the lasers for a while, so I don't get blasted?!" Ben frowns as he goes back to the watch, only to stop at Humungousaur as he grins out. "I know who to fight Drakor!" FLASH
Ben's eyes flashed white as they gained a green aura while the background became green and black rays. He bends down as his teeth become fangs and muscles bulge out of his body, tearing off his armor as his hair spikes up. He then held his arms to his body while bending down as spikes ripped out of his back while auras of energy surged through him as he kept growing. In a flash of light, Humungousaur throws his arms out as he roars out loudly.
"HEY! Iron freakshow!" Drakor noticed the alien as he gestured towards him. "Come and get some, ugly!" The beast roars as he charges, making Humungousaur grab him. They get into a grapple as they struggle with one another. Draknor bites him on the shoulder, making Humungousaur cry out, and smacks his tail across its muzzle, distorting the monster and letting go as Humungousaur punches him a few times, before using his tail to knock him down. But Draknor breathes fire and pushes Humungousaur back as the dragon grabs him by his shoulders and flies up, dragging the alien around the room and ramming him into the walls. "Okay! That hurt a bit!" He was then thrown down onto the floor with a thud. As Humungousaur groans as he holds his head, he is suddenly grabbed by the tail and lifted as he cries out.
Fox and Krystal use the Fire Blaster and energy bullets but miss and almost gazed Humungousaur! "HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE SHOOTING!" "NO!" Sam suddenly stopped them as she spoke out. "You might hit Ben!" "Then how are we going to help him?!" Juno asked as Humungousaur was slammed against the ceiling. Sam noticed some electric sparking wires hanging loose, giving her an idea as she glanced at Fox and Krystal. "Fox! Krystal! Do you have a way to get up to the ceiling?" Both vulpine glanced up and noticed the wires as they caught on. "Yeah!" They both plunged both grab onto Krystal's staff and plunge it into the ground and energy builds up and propels them up to the ceiling.
Once there, they noticed Drakor was making another ram for the ceiling grabbed the wires, and got ready. "Fox! On my mark! Ready?" "Yeah!" "Wait… NOW!" As soon as Drakor got closed, both jabbed their wires down and managed to shock Drakor, making him screech as volts ran through his body. Humungousaur was released, quickly grabbing onto a metal beam and holding himself up. "Thanks... This thing hits as hard as a truck" "No problem!" Fox smirks out. "We are a team, after all." Krystal smiles out.
They noticed Drakor was breathing heavily as he knees before them. "I think it's time this thing went extinct!" Both foxes nod in response as Humungousaur grabs it by its horn and delivers a hard right punch, sending it back as the monster recovers and stomps at the alien, who dodges and tosses him away. Fox got up close and delivered a bunch of hits and kicks to its head, dealing damage as it roared out, making Krystal jump on its neck from behind and strangle it with her staff, making it stumble around as Humungousaur tackled it, making Krystal leap off as it was sent crashing down on the arena. Juno and Vela help out by unleashing tons of rockets on his back that practically destroy his wings.
Fox and Krystal then gave off battle cries as they leaped down and thrust both weapons into its chest plate, making it roar in pain as it thrashed around, making them both pry off the Spellstone as they leap off and shout out. "Now, Ben!" "Finish it!" Humungousaur leaps up from the beams and starts somersaulting forward, making green energy build into its tail as he gains speed, until… BOOOOMMMM!
As the others were barely holding back from the massive shockwave and dust cloud, they managed to wait with bated breath as Ben emerged from the smoke, one foot placed on top of the defeated Draknor as it gave one last twitch before lying motionless, making Ben raised his arms in victory! The others roar in cheer at gaining the last Spellstone and freeing Dragon Rock, exchanging words, hi-fives, and hugs as Juno and Vela recover the Spellstone and hold it up for the others to see.
Suddenly, cracks start forming around the dragon's body. Ben notices, making him quickly leap off and run away as the floor collapses, sending the monster into the Lava River below. The beast roars in pain and agony as it slowly sinks into the magma, burning into nothing. The others gaze down and sigh out in relief. "That was close..." "Yeah... Now. Can we get a Soda or something? I'm sweating." Ben breathes out as the other chuckles in response.
The group was outside of the tower as they approached their ships and their new dinosaur friends were there to see them off. "Fox! Guys! You did it! you got the last Spellstone!" Tricky calls out as he runs up to them. Lupus yipes and leaps onto Juno, licking him while the blue-haired male teen chuckles at the dog's affection. "Well done! Way to go!" Chomper cries out in joy. "Thanks!" Ben spoke back as Sam added out. "It was our pleasure." "And we took care of Drakor, meaning Dragon Rock is now free!" Fox spoke out with a smile. "You and your friends did it, Krystal! Great job!" "It was our pleasure, Kyte. And it was good to see you again." She hugs her friend for a bit. "You are very brave warriors. Me honored to have met you." The Lightfoot points out. "Indeed. Now you're closer to restoring the planet. And us going home." The other dinosaurs phrases out as well.
"Right. Come on guys." Krystal spoke out as they climbed onto their ships. "Get that Spellstone back to the Ocean Force Point and we can all go home." "There's an old friend we would like to see." The Hi-top spoke after his Earthwalker friend. Chomper smiled at his new friends and spoke. "And I want to thank you all for giving me a chance to prove myself. Especially you, Ben." "No problem, big guy!" He smiles as he and Sam are in the Jet Force ship. "Yeah… After all, it's the inside that's important, not the outside." Sam smiled as the ships took off and blasted into space.
The ship with the humans in it decided to hang out in orbit while Fox and Krystal went to the surface to deliver the Spellstone. As the ship hovers in orbit, Sam and Ben decide to take the chance to kick back and relax. "Finally… No more monsters trying to eat us, ships trying to blast us, or any enemies trying to blow us sky-high! Just some relaxation." "Yeah… Nothing to do but just chill out." Ben spoke out as they gazed out into the infinity vacuum of the universe itself. Sam nodded in agreement but was secretly glad to let Fox and Krystal alone together so they could both get closer to each other.
As they both enjoyed themselves, they noticed the pieces of the planet were moving towards itself! "Ben! The pieces are coming back in! They did it!" Ben smiles. "All right!" But just then, Vela notices something as she cries out. "Wait! Look!" To their shock, the pieces were going back to orbit. "What?! But how? Shouldn't the planet be back to normal?" Juno asks out.
Sam then radios into Fox and Krystal. "Guys! Are you there?" "We read you loud and clear, Sam!" Fox spoke out. "We saw the lands returned, but only briefly. What happened?" "According to the Queen Earthwalker, returning the Spellstones only stopped the destruction progress of the planet. We need the Krazoa Spirits to help restore the planet." Krystal spoke out as Fox chimed in. "We'll meet you guys in orbit and head towards where the Spirits went, according to Peppy: Mizar's palace! And be careful everyone. He knows we're coming."
The radio shuts down as the ship waits for the Arwing to appear, to which it shows up as the 2 flies towards Mizar's Pyramid Palace. "Okay, guys! Get ready for anything!" Juno spoke to the radio as the ships approached the palace, only to be surprised as no ships or anything didn't even fire at them! "That's weird: Why are there no defenses?" Sam ponders out. The ships land inside the loading bay as they disembark. "Even weirder… No guards!" Krystal ponders out. "Something is not right..." Ben mumbles out.
They slowly made their way down a hall as they glanced around. Krystal used her telepathy but couldn't find anything. "No thought patterns anywhere…." "Where are the droids? The guards? Or even an alarm?" Vela ponders out. They all made it into a large room as they glanced around. "Something's off..." Fox mumbles out. As they took a few feet forward, the door suddenly shuts behind them as hatches open from above, dropping Mizar's cyborg Droids! "It's a trap!" Sam cries out as they take cover behind boxes as a rocket blows past them. They return fire with their weapons. Just then, a hatch in front of them opens as zombie Droids moan as they lumber out.
"What are those?!" "The Zombie bugs of Tawfret!? Mizar must have made a quick stop on Tawfert and snatched some!" Juno cries to Sam's exclamation as he blasts a few bots with his homing rocket launcher and ducks down. Fox and Krystal decide to handle the zombies, getting up close as they use their combat moves, staff, and gunblade abilities to destroy them. "We're boxed in! We need some help!" Fox cries as he slices a head off, roundhouse kicks one away and stabs another in the gut.
Ben runs towards another crate while shooting and barely leaps out of the way of a rocket blast, sliding to a stop in front of a weapon chest as he grins, opening it and grabbing the Token! FLASH A blue and green rushes out and spins around the cyborgs, trapping them in a cyclone as they are lifted, making easy targets for Sam and Vela. The blur then zips by the Zombies and slices their heads off, taking care of the last as it stops to show Fasttrack, grinning. "It's not a party until Fasttrack shows up!" He shakes the last bits of bug guts from his arm blades as Fox speaks out. "Thanks."
Just then, a door opens and they all peek in to find nothing, making them walk down as they see a light at the end, making them brace themselves as they approach. They arrived at a huge arena that had a glass roof that showed Dinosaur Planet itself. "Wow…. What a view." Sam breathes out. Krystal smiled as well, but her mind flared up as she spoke out. "Guys! We're not alone!" "Correct, Ceriniaian!"
They all whirl back at Mizar, crawling down as the gates shut themselves. "And this arena will be your grave!" "Bring it on, Mizar!" Fasttrack cries out as he rushes off, running along the walls as he builds up speed to hit Mizar hard! But as he was getting closer, he reverted into Ben and smacked into Mizar's chest hard, falling towards the floor with a thud. "Ugg… You know, for a watch, you have a lousy sense of timing." Ben frowns at his watch, only to glance up and quickly scramble out of the way as Mizar's leg almost smashed him into paste!
He recovers and whips out his blaster, aiming at Mizar when Sam and the others run up. "Ben! We'll keep Mizar busy! Just focus on finding the Upgrade Icon!" "No way! I want to show the others that I'm a real hero as well!" He cries as he joins the others, but Sam places her hand on his shoulder pad with a pleading look. "Ben… You already did it, many times! But what's more important: Thinking like a real hero, or trying to impress a bunch of computer programs?" Ben glances back at Fox and Juno, who both nod in response, telling him to go find Upgrade. Ben nods back and runs off.
The group opens fire with everything they have, but Mizar blocks them all and slams out a shockwave with his legs, knocking them back. Fox and Krystal recover and try a super ground quake and a charged blast that manages to send Mizar off-balance, leaving him exposed to some lasers from Sam. He then roars out and fires lasers from his eyes, making them scramble out of the way. Ben kept running until he reached a bunch of Chests and kept blasting them open as he looked for Upgrade. "No. No. No. No. No. No."
Sam stood up as they all noticed Mizar was gone! "Where did he go?!" Mizar suddenly swoops down and grabs Fox and Juno, slamming both males against a tower as they yip in pain. "FOX!" Krystal cries out as the 3 girls unload Fire Blasts and laser bullets at Mizar's back as he screeches in pain. He swipes his left arm as they hit the deck. Sam kept blasting at him but dodged when his claws swiped at her. She noticed the Chain Gun was broken into 3, making her discard it as she got out her Rifle. Lupus got on top of a ledge and howled as he let loose his machine gun. Mizar tries blasting his laser eyes at him, but the war dog is much quicker as he leaps from platform to platform.
Fox and Krystal leaped from a wall onto Mizar's back, delivering jabs and slashes on the metal device on his back as the tyrant was getting hurt. But he made a sudden roll, shaking the 2 vulpines off as they rolled on the ground. Sam aimed and blasted him in the eye, making him stumble back as he cried in pain. Sam fires a few more, only for her eyes to widen at a stream of green gas he breathed out of his mouth, making her leap out of the way and look back to see her weapon melted from it.
"Uh, oh!" She cried out as she was so distracted, that she didn't see a mega blast coming her way and got blown up, leaving a smoking helmet that vanished as she respawned! She glanced at her life counter as she got worried that she was now down to her last life! She went to help Krystal and Vela up, only for the 5 of them to be grabbed and brought to Mizar's smug face. "I thought the legendary Fox McCloud would give me a challenge. And I expected more from you, Jet Force Gemini." "Taunt all you want… Mizar!" Fox grunts as Juno cries out. "But we're still not giving up, no matter what!" "Because the fight is not over, as long as one of us still stands strong!" Krystal cries out.
Ben kept searching until he stopped at one, to which Upgrade's Icon floats up and spinning. "Wait! YES!" Ben was about to grab it when he noticed Mizar behind him. The tyrant swats Ben away as he declares. "Your power is mine, boy!" He reaches for the icon as Ben fires away to push him back, but Mizar fires an energy blast that knocks Ben away. The boy recovers and notices his blaster was smashed to bits, leaving him weaponless! Lupus then leaps from the ledge he is on, grabs Mizar's face, and starts scratching it! "Get off me, you annoying mutt!" With Mizar distracted, Ben leaped and grabbed the Icon, grinning at regaining Upgrade! "Yes!" Only to get knocked back by Lupus as the 2 stumble back and gasp at the sight of Mizar, raising his scythe at them both. But before he could stab them...
A Cloudrunner with royal garbs swoops down and screeches as it claws at Mizar's eyes, making him stumble back. The Thorntail Gatekeeper appears behind him and swipes his tail on Mizar's legs, knocking him down as an elephant trumpet is heard, making him glance to the side to see an armored Mammoth and the King Earthwalker charges and rams the giant bug, tackling Mizar through a wall. The boy and war-dog were surprised as the 2 stepped out of the cloud with a smile and were joined by the other 2 dinosaurs, making the group of 4 surprised to see the Gatekeepers of Dinosaur Planet have joined the fight as well! Suddenly, they grimaced in pain, making them look back as they disappeared in flashes of light. Mizar retracts his claws with a grin.
"OH NO!" Ben cries out in shock as Sam gasps with a covered mouth. "YOUR HIGHNESS!" Krystal cries with tears as Fox yells out. "NOOO!" "The leaders!" "MIZAR!" Juno snarls out as Vela gasped in horror. "Looks like your Gatekeepers isn't here to protect you, anymore." Mizar raises his left arm, only for a green flash to get his attention. "But I can take care of myself, and you! All alone..." Upgrade narrows his eye ring in anger as he slams his fist into his palm. "Now we play by my rules, Mizar!" He tackles Mizar away as he begins beating on the Tyrant!
WHAM He smacks Mizar with spiked balls out of his hands. FWOOOM Upgrade used his elasticity to dodge the lasers and acid breath. SMACK Upgrade hammered Mizar with dual hammer hands! POW He then enlarges his hands to uppercut the giant bug. BAM He kicks Mizar into a tower, dazing him. ZAP He made his hands into the multi-barrel guns and blasted the bug with a bombardment of lasers. He then flies around and blasts rockets all over and then unleashes a whole bunch of missiles all over his body as they bombard the tyrant.
He then created a large energy sword and sliced him in half, cutting him in 2. He cried out in agony before exploding, leaving only his head as it crashed down near the others. "Consider that payback for the Gatekeepers, you oversized cockroach!" Upgrade snarls out.
Sam cries out to the boy. "Quiet fooling around and get us both out of here, before you time out!" "I'm right here, Sammy!" Upgrade chuckles as he lands near the teen. she got an annoyed look as she opened her visor. But just then, they all heard a sound coming from Mizar's head, they noticed his neck was made of metal and steel as Lupus growled at it. The neck starts unfolding and displays a pod as a small, white bear-like alien, wearing tribal clothing and carrying a staff with a purple gem on top comes out and grunts. "Look at this! Unbelievable! Do you all have any idea how much work went into this thing?!"
The other blinks in surprise as Sam cries out. "Wait a minute! So, all this time, the big bad Mizar, is a little bear alien in a robot suit?!" "Who knew?!" Fox shrugs out as Vela asks out loud. "I don't get it! Mizar was a Tirbal, all this time?!" "Yeah! I'm a Tirbal and my name's Berry! And you're the pesky humans who are just as annoying as my brother, Jeff!" "Wait! Jeff as in King Jeff of the Tribals? He never mentioned he has a brother." Juno ponders out as the small alien scoffs. "I shouldn't be surprised. It's always about Jeff! Jeff with the powers. Jeff is to be next in line to be king. But do I get anything, or even any credit for my work? NO! I couldn't stand another minute in his shadow anymore! So, I made this Mizar exoskeleton to get even with him and finally get a chance in the limelight for once!"
Krystal frowns out with crossed arms as did the others. "You did all of this, just because you were jealous of your brother?! Unbelievable!" "Do you have any idea how much damage you caused to the Galaxy?!" Sam points out as Juno snarls out. "Not to mention, what you and your army did to all the other Jet Force teams and our friends!?" Berry scratches the back of his neck in response. "Yeah... I admit I went overboard with the conquest thing. I got so into the role of Mizar, that I forgot to reign him in. But it was your fault for meddling in my business."
But Fox had enough as he snarled and grabbed Berry by his collar and glared at him as he poked at his chest. "Give us one good reason why we shouldn't shove you into a tube and shoot you out into space?!" Upgrade points out. "I'd listen to him, if I was you, dude! You don't want to make Fox angry." "Because I know who's the true mastermind behind Dinosaur Planet!" Berry answers as Fox lets go as the traitorous Tirbal calls out. "Okay, Andross! You can show yourself, now!" "Very well... 'Mizar'. If you insisted!" Just then, a flash of light came down below the arena as all eyes were on it. The light dies down as Fox gasps in shock at the being!
He is a 9-ft tall muscular ape with red skin with robes on him that looks like royal. He whirls back with a snarl as he bangs his fangs and sharp black claws. He has white hair that goes to his shoulders and yellow and orange eyes that hold insanity and evil with a scar on his right one. "WHOA! Who is that?!" Sam cries out, never seen him before as did Jet Force Gemini. Upgrade, Fox, and Krystal were very shocked at him as well. "No…Way! " "It's you! The being from my planet when it was destroyed!" "ANDROSS?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?" "What's the matter, McCloud? I was looking forward to this day to see you again." Andross smirks out.
"Wait a sec… You're behind what is going on with Dinosaur Planet?!" Vela asked out. "Mostly correct, my dear. I was only after the Krazoa for their powers! But I needed help to get into the Palace, past the Earthwalkers who could see me. Scales was quite fortunate to provide me with the way in. He has served his purpose well enough." "So, you used Scales, because he knows about the planet and the Palace, to get you inside, if you help him!" Upgrade figures out. "But how?!" All eyes glanced at Fox as he snarled out. "How did you survive?! I saw you blew up in your lab on Venom with you inside it! There's no way you can survive that!"
Andross chuckles as he takes a few steps forward with his hands behind his back. "Come now, Fox! I'm the most brilliant mind in the Lylat System! You didn't think I would plan for contingencies? During my time of exile, I came across an ancient Manuscript, describing the Krazoa and how they bring life to worlds with vast, ancient powers! As I study them, I soon learn of a planet where Krazoas can be found: Cerinia." Krystal gasped in shock at her home world. "I have done countless experiments on the planet, trying to unlock the secrets to the Krazoa! But unfortunately, my experiments have doomed the planet as well. But... Some sacrifices have to be made." He casually waved off destroying a planet of innocent people, much to the anger of the heroes.
"Of course, a Ceriniaian does possess great telepath abilities and other mystic skills, but there is one Tribe that makes them stand out from the others: The Crimson Sun! They are closer to the Krazoa than any other tribe on the planet. Making them the perfect idea for a conduit to channel the Krazoa Spirits! But the strongest members of that of the Royal Family. I had hoped to use either the King, Queen, or the Prince for my plans. But alas, it seems my experiments destroyed them in the process of dooming the planet. I had almost given up hope on Dinosaur Planet's Krazoa Palace when the last Princess and Krazoa Prestress of Cerinia arrived, making it easy for me to capture her."
Fox is confused. "Princess? What are you talking about? Who's..." He trails off as he glances at Krystal and it all clicks in his head. "Krystal! You're a princess?!" The others were surprised as well as Krystal gloomy answers. "Was a princess... And it's all because of him!" She snarls out in absolute anger at the mad ape that took her home, her people, and her family away! Krystal yells out in anger and tries to attack Andross, but the ape merely catches her staff with little effort, much to her shock and palm thrust her back, sending her flying into Fox's arms as he tosses her staff away.
"It is insulting to interrupt someone when he is talking, my dear. Now, after my project on Cerinia backfired, I started the Lylat Wars, focusing on revenge on General Pepper. But when you and your team were approaching me, McCloud, I knew I had to do something. It was then I recalled Dinosaur Planet and discovered that the dinosaurs also worshiped the Krazoa. After you destroyed me, Fox, I was able to hang onto this plane of reality by becoming a spirit, wondering the cosmos until I came across the planet. I then learned about Scales and Sharpclaws, giving them power and technology to improve their army and take over the planet, while I wait in the palace."
Juno then figures it out. "Of course! You gave Scales power and technology because he's the only one to help you defeat the Earthwalkers and get you into the Palace! And when the Spirits scattered and Krystal, the last member of Royal Blood and Prestress of the Krazoas showed up, you captured her to use her mystic powers, which are one of the strongest of her kind, to channel the Krazoa to give you a new body to revive yourself!"
Andross smirks as he claps at Juno's deduction. "Correct… I knew the moment news of the planet was in danger and reached the ears of that old mutt, General Pepper, you would come rushing right towards the planet. It even helped that I impersonated that spirit at Moon Mountain Pass and used the girl's voice to convince you to help me. Once you heard how the Vixen is in trouble, you would stop at nothing to rescue her. Your tendency to play the hero, Fox, does make you predictable. How amusing and ironic that the very being that destroyed my physical body before, would be the one that would ensure me the creation of my new one?" Andross smirks as he rubs 2 claws together as Fox glares at his archenemy.
"And as for "Mizar", he was very helpful in creating this new body for me." He grins as he gestures to Berry, who rolls his eyes as he groans out. "Oh great, more blame." "You see, while I was waiting for Fox to gather the Spirits, I sensed a disturbance in the Space-Time Continuum. I used my recovered strength to find out about Mizar and this Space Station, teleporting here from another Galaxy along with the Droids. Once I was able to lure him to the Palace, I realized that his knowledge and bio-tech rivals my own and together, we were able to channel the Krazoa and make this new body for me! I then discovered that disturbance also made a weak spot in the cosmos, leading to a portal to other dimensions! And now, thanks to you all, I can not only use my new powers to destroy the Lylat System, but I can also use the weak spot in the Space-Time Continuum to conquer other universes and worlds!"
Sam's eyes widened in realization as she whispered to Ben. "Ben! Upgrade must have accidentally opened a gateway between the worlds! We need to get out of here and seal it up, now!" "No way!" Upgrade cries out. "A real space hero never runs from villains! And if there's one thing I don't like from my list of dislikes, is Tyrants like him! I'm going to take him down for good! In honor of the Gatekeepers, Krystal's family, and Fox's father!" Upgrade lunges at Andross, only for him to move in a blur as he and Fox land where he is. "What the?" Fox cries out as a scream gets their attention, making them glance back to see Sam and Krystal struggling as Andross has his muscular arm on them, keeping them pinned. "Let' them go, Andross!" Juno cries out as he and his team point their weapons at him, but Andross merely looks back and fires eye lasers that nail their weapons.
"Fortunately, I don't do honor." He spoke out as he made a purple light shell engulf them. It formed into a giant robot version of his head as Krystal cried out. "FOX!" The head took off into space, smashing through the glass as a vacuum tries to suck the heroes and Berry in. Jet Force Gemini took Berry and quickly took off down a hallway while Upgrade grabbed onto Fox, who retrieved Krystal's staff, and teleported them to the ships. He then merges with the Arwing and enhances it. "FOX, GET IN!" The Mercenary nods in response and hops in, taking off into space at super speeds as Jet Force Gemini escapes in the nick of time as the pyramid self-distructs.
The Arwing kept flying through space as the metal head noticed and glanced back, roaring out loud as it made floating robot hands as well as Fox cry out. "We got to stop Andross!" "No problem! You focus on flying; I'll work the weapons!" "Wha?" Upgrade then fires out 4 rabid lasers that instantly take out one of the hands. "Okay! Now this is cool!" Fox grins out. The other hand tried to swat him like a fly, But Fox dodged out of the way and boosted past it while Upgrade made plasma blades on each end appear and gave a nasty cut to it, making the mad ape wave it in pain! As he turns around towards the Arwing, Upgrade makes rocket launchers appear out of the back and fire, hitting him in the eyes as the metal Andross roars in pain.
The boss then disappeared, making the 2 glance around in confusion, only for him to suddenly appear in front as Fox quickly rolled out of the way and then made a somersault to avoid the 2 hands clapping at where he was. Andross then fires the fists as rockets as Fox barely avoided them. "See if you can get a lock on him!" Fox spoke out as Upgrade spoke back. "Trying to, but Andross's hands are not making this easy!" Suddenly, Andross grabs and hurls 2 huge asteroids at them, making Upgrade create 4 missile launchers that appear near the front and fire away, blowing them into small bits as a green energy shield protects them from the debris.
But Andross charges up red energy and fires it from his mouth, making the ship barely dodged as a bit of electricity zaps it. "GAHHH! Okay! That hurt a bit." Upgrade groans out. Fox looks up to see Andross getting ready to blast them with laser eyes, only for a bomb to explode and make him cry out, seeing another Arwing fly by! "Hey, McCloud! Different time, different planet. And you still need Falco's help! It's good to see you, buddy!" "Falco!" "All right! Now we're talking!" Upgrade spoke out as the odds were looking good for them.
As Fox dodged some asteroids and lasers and missiles while Upgrade blasted them down, Falco delivered a bomb, making Fox shoot it into the mouth and left it dazed, making Upgrade boost straight at the forehead and ram into it, making an opening as both heroes emerges and confront Andross on an energy platform as Sam and Krystal lies nearby, weakened as Andross himself stood nearby. "It's time we end this, Andross!" Fox declares as the mad ape smirks out. "Very well, McCloud... But I got one last trick up my sleeve." He then holds out his hands as they glow in his power.
Just then, the heroes notice that certain, scrap parts of Mizar float up near him as he then takes out a vial of some green substance that has a label of a scorpion on it. "It's a good thing I had Scales secure a sample of scorpion DNA for me." Andross then engulfs his being in a purple orb of energy while he drinks from the vial as the scrap parts enter into it as well. Upgrade and Fox look in confusion as they are unsure of what is going on as they glance at each other.
As the orb surges, something inside starts growing and morphing as the orb burst opens as Andross lands, only for Fox and Upgrade to be shocked and surprised that he has transformed! His upper body is still the same, only he is shirtless to show his toned body, only his midsection is robotic as it's attached to a scorpion's cybernetic body! It has a black exoskeleton with a reddish-orange underbelly with the metal section on where a scorpion's head would be. It has 8 legs, 4 of them robotic, a long steel tail with a laser cannon on where the stinger would be, and 2 large claws that are organic.
The ape grins and chuckles as he crosses his arms while the claws snap as he is ready to rumble. Both heroes recover as they both glared at the mad ape doctor. "Once I'm done with you 2, I'll finally destroy the Lylat System!" "We don't think so!" Upgrade declares as he looks at Fox and gets an idea, engulfing the alien Vulpin in his being, much to his surprise as something amazing happened! Fox felt himself get bigger and stronger as a black with green tech-lines armor formed on his being with fins on his forearms and shoulders as he rivals Andross's height. His tail sticks out with an Upgrade pattern to it and his head is covered in a helmet modeled after a non-sapient fox. The eyes glow green while Fox's vision is hi-tech and green. "Cool... All right, Andross! Get ready for a clash of the titans!" Fox declares as he and Upgrade get ready for the final boss.
Andross strikes first by leaping up and trying to crash down onto the 2, but the upgraded Fox rears back a fist as it glows green and delivers a power punch that knocks him back. Andross recovers and snarls as his scorpion claws stab into some debris and throw them at Fox, whose armor converted into laser blasters and destroys the projectiles. "Okay! This rocks!" Fox smirks as Upgrade responds. "I know, right?" He then made rocket thrusters appear on his back and charged at Andross. They got into grabble as they struggled to overpower one another.
But Andross grins as he surges energy and zaps the 2 off. As Upgrade and Fox groan, Andross starts slamming his claws on the 2, over and over as Upgrade grunts from every hit. "Is that all you got?!" "Actually... Not... Really..." Fox, thinking quickly, used his feet to activate rocket boosters from them and kicked Andross off, making the armored Vulpin speed to the other side of the mutated ape while dodging the lasers from the stinger cannon. Andross then tries to stab his sharp legs into the 2, but Upgrade turns the arms into pincher claws and grabs 2 of the robotic ones as Fox snarls out. "Let's see how tough you are, Andross, without your legs!" Fox then rips the limbs off as Andross cries in pain. Upgrade then forms wrist claws on the changed back arms. "Or that tail of yours!" Fox hollers as he quickly flips over and slices the cannon off his tail. Andross grunts in pain as he snarls at the 2. "Why you... Just as annoying as your weak, pathetic father, McCloud!" Upgrade then forms rockets all over the armor and fires them, bombarding Andross with explosions.
Fox and Upgrade looked at the smoke for a few seconds and then the Vulpine saw Krystal, walking over to her. But just then, 2 claws sprung out of the dust and grabbed the 2 by surprise, yanking them back as Andross emerged and started pounding the crud out of Upgrade and Fox while his claws held them still. "I had enough of you, Fox! It's time I end your miserable existence for good! You and this meddling child as well! Do say hello to James for me, will you?" Andross sadistically asks as Fox fights to stay awake. But when he heard that remark about his dad, he felt a burst of energy as he dug deep and cried out as he broke free. Upgrade then forms energy blades for hands as Fox charges and hacks and slashes the robot legs and the claws off, making Andross holler out in agony. "You're going to regret talking about my father like that, Andross!" Fox frowns.
As Krystal groans and recovers, she spots the battle, surprised at seeing Fox has Upgrade on him like a suit. But Andross notices her and grins as he has one last trick left. In a bust of speed, he managed to grab Krystal as Fox and Upgrade were surprised. "Whoa! Didn't see that coming!" Upgrade exclaims. Andross then pins Krystal by her neck as he holds some of his sharp nails to her throat, ready to cut. "If you destroy me again, Fox! Then the last princess of Cerinia suffers the same fate as well!" "Don't do it, Fox!" Krystal cries out. "You have to end him! For your father and my family! For my people and planet! For Dinosaur Planet!" "SILENCE!" Andross roars as he tightens his grip on Krystal.
But Fox and Upgrade would not give in as the alien glares out. "No way! Not on our watch!" Upgrade separates from Fox as the mercenary gets Krystal's staff from his pack. Upgrade then fuses with it, turning into a hi-tech spear. "This game is over, Andross!" Fox hollers as he throws Upgrade like a javelin, as the alien activates boosters and rockets towards Andross! And before the mutated ape knew it, the spear perched through his chest! Andross cries out in pain as Fox sees he released Krystal, making him quickly dash over, grab her, and quickly get out of range as Upgrade starts spreading all over the mutated ape as green energy cracks appear on the body.
While Sam came too and got away as they all saw Andross explode in a blast of green. Once the dust died down, they looked back and to their surprise, Upgrade stood where Andross was as the Krazoa emerged from the smoking spot where the mad ape was and the spirits flew out of the metal head.
As they all saw Andross was gone as Upgrade walked back, the alien spoke to Fox as he retrieved Krystal's staff. "Nice flying and kicking! And punching." "Nice shooting! And sweet job with that cool armor." They both fist bump as the girls both smile. Just then, the head starts falling apart as Sam cries out. "Without Andross to stabilize his creation, this thing is going to fall apart!" "We need to get out!" Fox cries out. "Everyone, move out!" Upgrade merges back with the Arwing and expands the cockpit into 3 seats as the 3 got in and took off.
The Arwings all flew as fast as they could while the head exploded in the style of a supernova, making it gain as they barely made it out. A large, rundown ship with Jet Force Gemini's Starship shows up as the 3 orbits around the bigger ship as they approach Dinosaur Planet. They all noticed the spirits were being returned to the planet as the pieces slowly reattached, saving Dinosaur Planet!
The Arwing flew past Krazoa Palace to see the Sharpclaws, celebrating that they survived and no longer listening to Scales' word! Upgrade then spoke out. "One last thing..." The alien then made the ship head over to Thorntail Hollow and Upgrade conjured up a bunch of 1-ups appeared as 4 rainbow discs showed up and martialized 4 familiar dinosaurs. "What's a kingdom without the right rulers, huh?" Fox, Krystal, and Sam smiled in joy as the dinosaurs cheered. The 4 Tribe Leaders and Gatekeepers smile at being revived, making them smile at the ship as it takes off.
On the Main Bridge of the Great Fox, the groups were together as Peppy Hare spoke out. "We did it, Fox!" "Dinosaur Planet is saved!" Slippy hi-fives his friend. "Andross is defeated once again!" "You all did a great job! But I had some extra help from these guys. Thanks." "It was our pleasure, Fox. After all, helping others is what we do best." Sam spoke while she shook his hand. Upgrade eye smiled with crossed arms as Krystal nodded. "Indeed! The Tribals are saved, peace is restored to the Galaxy and Mizar's empire is no more! Thank you all!" Juno smiles as he and his sister salute as Star Fox, Sam, and Upgrade salute back as the alien asks. "By the way, what happened to Berry?" "Oh! We called King Jeff and the other Tribals to pick him up, he's currently being held in a cage, down in the hanger bay." Juno smirks as he points his thumb behind him.
Falco then approaches the others. "And I can't wait to get back with the Star Fox Team! Hey guys, you don't mind if I hang with you again?" Fox looks in thought but smiles in the end. "Sure, Falco. Good to have you back." "The Star Fox Team is back together again!" "By the way, isn't there something you want to say, Sam?" The teen notices Upgrade and sighs. "Okay… You're the better Space hero, happy?" "See? Now was that too hard?" "Don't push it." Sam threatens out with crossed arms. The others chuckle as well.
"I admit it, Ben, you were troublesome and a bit of a pain in the butt." Sam giggles at Vela's statement as the blue-haired girl smiles out. "But you proved to be a valuable ally and a great hero. It was an honor to fight alongside you." Upgrade's ring made an eye smile at finally being respected by Jet Force Gemini as he shook their hands. "Thanks! You too!" He then pets Lupas as the dog allows it and pants as well.
Krystal glances down in sadness as she looks out the window as Fox approaches. "Something wrong, Krystal?" "It's just… I finally avenged my people, family, and planet, but now I have nowhere to go. My home and people are all gone. A former princess, now and forever alone." Fox scratches his head as he speaks out. "Well… The Great Fox has plenty of room. Maybe we can help give you a new home?" "Really?" The girl spoke as Fox nodded. Krystal then gains a coy smile as she approaches Fox while swinging her hips, making Sam's eyes widen as she covers Upgrade's eye. "Hey! What's the big idea?!" "Trust me: You're not ready for this, yet."
"I want to thank you for saving me, twice, even when we never met before." "Well, uh, OK! I mean, sure! No problem!" "And I'll only join you… If you kiss me." She fluttered her eyes as Fox blushed like crazy as the others giggled and laughed at his predicament. Vela mealy rolls her eyes with a smile and shoves the Tod forward, making him catch Krystal and her lips by surprise! At first, he was stunned, but the more the kiss lasted, the more relaxed he became as he held the vixen closer and closed his eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck and held up a leg and they kept at it as the others watched in amusement. After a bit, they separated and they both stared loving at each other, only to notice the others were smirking. Fox blushed in realization as Krystal smiled, thinking he was cute like that.
Just then, the lead pilot was saved from more embarrassment, when General Pepper appears on Hologram. "General Pepper here. Good work, Star Fox Team, and Allies! I have received a message from the King and Queen Earthwalker, thanking you for saving their world. Oh! And Tricky and a dinosaur named 'Chomper' said 'Hi!'" "Tell Chomper I said hello, back." Upgrade spoke out. "And I got word that King Jeff of the Tribals has picked up Berry for them to deal with and sends his sincere graduate to save his people. I was, however, surprised to hear Andross was still alive."
"Not as much as we were!" Fox then spoke out after Slippy. "Andross discovered the Ancient Power of the Krazoa during his banishment. And decides to use this power, in the event he is destroyed, to be reborn. He tried to gain that power by experimenting with Krystal's planet but destroyed it and its people in the process. He then decides to try again with Dinosaur Planet's Krazoa spirits." Krystal continues "And by trapping me, one of the royal blood of the tribe that's closest to the spirits and can channel this power, he used the Spirts to revive himself."
"But he also briefly teamed up with Berry, while he was Mizar, to help make him a new body that is just as dangerous as his previous form. He even took it further by mutating himself with cybernetics and Scorpion DNA." Sam spoke to the hologram. "At least this time, we'll see the last of him. I'm transferring your fee as we speak. Pepper out!" Just then, as Pepper signs off, Upgrade starts timing out as he cries out. "WHOA! Sorry! No time for goodbyes!" He grabs Sam and then disappears in a flash of green light. "Farewell, Ben and Sam..." Krystal spoke out as they all waved bye to them. "I hope we meet again one day, friends..." Juno spoke out.
Outside the game, Upgrade and Sam emerge, back in their normal outfits as Alex and Clover smile in relief that they made it out, okay. "Sheesh… Cut it a little closer, next time?" Ben cycles through his watch to see all his aliens, including his new one! "Hopefully, there won't be a next time." Alex glances out the window to see the sun. "Looks like it's stopped pouring. How about we go out for some air?" Just then, the screen starts glowing brightly as something shoots out and wraps around Ben and Sam's neck, revealing to be gold medals with Jet Force Gemini's symbol on them!" 'Whoa! Check the bling out!" Ben grins out as Sam is amazed as she notices a note attached as she reads it.
"'Dear Ben and Sam, we have Krystal used her powers to get these to you 2. Jet Force Command awarded us all these for defeating Mizar, Scales, and Andross and for saving the Galaxy! We hope you both get these medals and you both earned them. Hope to see you all again, our friends. Love, Vela of Jet Force Gemini.' Wow... A medal for beating a video game! How about that?" "Wow, Sammy! Those totes look great on you and Ben!" Clover grinned as she got a closer look as her eyes sparkled at the shiny gold medal. "Well, I don't know about you 3, but I could use some real-world time, now!" Ben smirks as they all rush out to enjoy a sunny day, finally back home, and even get a cool award and make some new interesting friends as well! And who knows when they will reunite again.
