A sapphire blue vixen stares out the window of The Great Fox looking at Corneria. She was also so curious to see what Corneria holds the big planet filled with so many wonders, and the beauty of it was so breath taking from her view.
Krystal just recently agreed to join Star Fox and was boy was she excited for it, though Krystal was still a little nervous she didn't want to embarrass them especially Fox by having a member who didn't know how to fly an Arwing and doesn't know their customs. But Fox said that she had nothing to worry about she will receive training when she is settled in after learning about how they do things on Corneria, she was also gonna spend time with Fox while she is on Corneria.
The blue vixen looked away from the window and sits down in a chair that was next to a bed. The lights were off but it wasn't very dark the light from the planet shined through her window illuminating the room to give it a nice romantic glow. She pulled her staff of from her back and examined it holding it closely to her. The last thing she had from her father but thankfully she had jewelry left from her mother which was given to her when she was a little kit. One of the items which she had was a nice little ribbon that she had tied around her upper arm on her specifically on her bicep.
"Mother, father" Krystal said aloud while holding her staff."I wanted to check in with you to let you know I'm fine and that I am joining Star Fox a group that protects the Lylat system they tell me and, I want to join them I want to be like them, I want to feel like I have a purpose to live anymore." Krystal said as she clutched the staff tighter letting a tear fall from her eye sniffling a little.
"Fox is the one who rescued me on Sauria you have him to thank for saving me" Krystal smiled after saying that."I don't know why he did it though he just rescued me said "I couldn't leave a beautiful vixen trapped there he says." Krystal blushed when Fox told her that and giggled when his cheeks turned redder than his fur making him look cuter."He said I can begin training after I've learned about their customs and their ways, Fox is really kind and I really hope to get to know more about him." Krystal looked away from her staff and looked back out the window to Corneria.
"I'm really excited about Corneria reminds me of the time I was introduced to the other children back on Cerinia." The vixen laughed a little."I remember you telling me it's okay to be scared even though I had a hard time making friends. Remember when I scraped my knee when I was little and how I said it didn't hurt and I walked around for a while before I told you? well it hurt a lot for the first 2 minutes then it stung when I got dirt on the wound." she could still feel that same pain even now."You were surprised at how it didn't hurt me as much said I was your big strong girl." Her voice cracked. She turned her view away from her staff and back to the window.
"Corneria looks really beautiful from here." The vixen got up from her chair and held her staff to the face of the planet. The staff glowed a light blue from the tip for a second making Krystal sigh, more tears coming out of her eyes. She stood there a for a minute holding her staff with both hands tighter her head resting against it."Reminds me of Cerinia." The crying vixen said wiping a few tears from her face while few fell to the floor. A couple minutes went by before the blue vixen heard her door swooped open, revealing the red vulpine who saved her back on Sauria. Fox Mccloud came in with a trey with a plate which had a big piece of steak that was still hot and juicy and a glass of water little cold to wash it down. The aroma of the steak filled the vixens nose her stomach growling for the delicious steak screaming"Feed me!" The vulpine looked at Krystal's eyes and saw they were red from crying. Concerned for his guest Fox put down the trey on the table and went over to Krystal.
"Krystal are you okay whats wrong?" The vulpine asked getting a closer look at the vixen infront of him."Nothings wrong." She lied. Fox can obviously tell there was something wrong."Are you sure do you want to talk about it?" He pushed on. The vixen took in a deep breath then sighed."It's just that I was looking back at my memories of my parents, my people and my friends that I had on Cerinia." The vixen said as she broke down collapsing into the vulpines strong arms crying into his chest."I miss them so much." Krystal cried while Fox rubbed her back and comforted her."I know what that's like, I know what it's like to feel scared and alone wishing you could've had more time with everyone you loved." The vulpine said remembering what it was like for him when his father and mother died. The vixen sniffled and looked up to see Fox's lime green eyes staring back into her cerulean blue ones.
"My mother died when I was young, she took my dads car when hers wasn't working my dads car had a bomb that Andross planted accidentally killing her instead. I watched my mother die in my fathers car the smell of fire, burning flesh and fur filled the air as me and my dad rushed out to see what happened. Then my father was betrayed and killed by his former teammate pigma, Peppy my fathers best friend took care of me I was lucky to still have someone to take care of me but I wasn't happy at the time and I had a lot of rage because of my parents death. I went to pursue pigma and andross to get revenge but it wasn't gonna bring back my parents but, atleast I can avenge them, thankfully the Cornerian military wanted them gone too but I still feel the same pain I felt before. The scarf, glasses, and this ship are what I have left of my mom and dad." Fox moved one arm to hold rub the scarf on his neck breathing in the scent of his mother that still lingered.
"When I saw you back on Sauria trapped there I just couldn't let you hang there up all alone." Neither of them said a word for a few minutes Krystal stopped crying and enjoyed the embrace of her hero while he enjoyed hers. She got out the embrace and straightened up and said."Thank you for comforting me." Fox smiled a little."If you want to talk anytime just ask" Krystal nodded and then pulled out her staff."My staff and this ribbon are what I have left of my parents too." Krystal said gesturing towards her staff. The red vulpine reached for something in his pocket and pulled out a small rectangle object with a canine paw print on the back as well as the Star Fox logo.
"I also have photos of my parents would you like to see some?" Fox asked. Krystal's face looked confused and she cocked her head to the side and asked."Photos? I'm sorry I'm not familiar with photos. The term photos was unknown to the confused vixen."A photo like well... have you ever drawn an image of something?" Krystal face was replaced with realization." Yes actually when I was little so photos are drawings of your parents?" The vulpine had a "errr" moment."No not exactly here." Fox brought up his phone to show a image of a young vulpine with 2 older Fox's obviously Fox's parents smiling it kinda felt like they were looking right at her.
The vixen was fascinated with small rectangle object she grabbed it from Fox's hands and examined the device in her hands she pressed buttons on the side of the object but just did nothing increase and decrease the "volume" and accidentally went to the home screen."Oh I'm sorry I think I did something." Krystal now even more confused at how this contraption works. Fox who was smiling a little at the sight before him brought his hand up and swiped at the screen and then selected gallery and then the photo popped up again and swiped to change the photos.
The once again intrigued and not so confused anymore vixen did the same thing and explored the "photos" for a couple minutes chuckling at a few photos of Fox's past childish shenanigans'He looks so cuuuute!' Krystal thought as she came across Fox on his birthday face covered in chocolate cake frosting while wearing the colorful pointy birthday hat smiling directly into the camera showing off his pearly white teeth with cake stuck between them. She giggled ' I must have one of these.' Krystal thought then she came across a photo of Fox without his shirt showing his abs and strong muscles making her mouth water at the sight. The photos had color in them which was what made this thing so much more amazing, drawings on Cerinia had different kinds of colors for creating an image but they were never this detailed if only they had these things it would've been so much better and easier and she still would've been able to see her parents and friends even if she still couldn't hold them or talk to them the photo would have been good enough.
"What your holding is called a phone and we can get you one when we land in Corneria, also when people find out that you joined us people will want a photo or a selfie as it's called." The vixen snapped out of her trance and confused on the term selfie." Here let me show you." Fox brought up his phone and stood next to Krystal."Now say smile while you say cheese." Krystal did as he said."Cheese." Fox snapped the photo of them and pulled it up "Wow this looks great for your first selfie." Krystal blushed a little."A slefie is like taking a picture of your self and with other friends or something behind you in the picture, but enough of that you must be hungry your food is gonna get cold. The vulpine left the now even more curious vixen in her room before giving her another smile before closing the door behind him. Krystal walked over to the table and sat down she put a hand on her staff while sitting infront of the delicious food infront of her and said."Oh father if only we those phones back on Cerinia I would've loved to show Fox you and mom as well as other people and places from Cerinia." Krystal took a bite from the steak and shivered at the taste so sweet juicy and still warm. "
Present day
"Yeah it was a good photo." Fox said as he looked at the photo on his bed sighing at the memory. It was a little funny watching Krystal try and figure out how to work the small rectangular device and then teaching her how it works and what to expect when people find out about her. Although she did ended up taking photos and videos of her arms and face which were covered by her fingers. Fox smiled at the memory when Krystal first got her phone she took photos of every place she went to and people she met and other things she wanted to remember. Then the photo he took of him and Krystal together their very first selfie they had together these photos had them happy, oh how happy they were Fox's thumb accidentally went to camera mode and saw his face which turned a big enough space for one person on his left side his face twisted into sadness. Oh how happy you were so long ago...
Fox sat up on his bed and turned his head to the left and looked at the pair of shades that belong to his father that rested on his night stand along side a photo frame of Fox with his parents. He picked up both items and held it in his hands sighing."Mom dad I need help, I don't know if removing Krystal from the team was the right choice." The vulpine looked at the photo for a few seconds before continuing."I didn't want to do it but our last mission she almost died and I couldn't let that happen again what if she died on the next one? I couldn't bear it if she died I already lost you and shes all I've got to give my love to. I can tell it was harder for her than it was for me did I make the right choice? was it better for her to be mad at me and live than to love me and possibly die on our next mission?" Fox eyes started to water and in a few seconds tears started to onto the photo, how oddly the tears splatter landed on the young Fox's eyes which made him look like he was crying too."I need one sign please send me something someone to let me know what I did was right." The vulpine could feel cold air caress his face somehow drying his tears and then touching his hands that held the photo and glasses then, he could feel it wrap around him."Mom, dad?"
"So how is the sack of sadness doing?" Falco said leaning back in his chair bored out his mind. Peppy annoyed at him for the past hour got up from his own chair and spun the avian around."That sack of sadness is your best friend and he just forced the only person he loves away the least you can do is stop calling him names when hes forgiven you for your past mistakes you dumbass." The hare yelled at the avian at the top of his lungs it brought attention to the whole room."Whoa whoa chill Peppy I was just jokin I'm sorry look I'm not happy about Fox's decision either I liked Krystal too who else is gonna sweet talk Fox into letting borrow his stuff or help me beat him on a gaming match by flirting with him?" Falco raised his hands up in defense.
"He hasn't been like this since his mom died and after his dad died it just got worse can't imagine what this feels like." Peppy sat back in his chair."Falco you don't like it when Katt flirts with you is it because your doing something similar to what Fox did?" Peppy asked making the avian's eyes fly open and focus on the hare."Okay 1 I have no romantic feelings for Katt 2, she is crazy always callin me to save her pink hide when she could just handle it herself 3, if and I say IF I had romantic feelins for anyone it would have been someone who met my standards." Falco said folding his wings and turning his chair around."
"So you want someone who can put up with an annoying bird that who has not only lost battles with Fox Mccloud in an arwing fight but also video game fights and also has basically no other options than Katt?" Peppy chuckled annoying the avian."I beat him a few times." The avian said turning around to face Peppy once more."Yeah when Krystal flirted playfully with Fox." The hare countered."No I meant-." "The other reason you won was because his batteries died so you won unfortunate events." Falco sat back in his chair in defeat the hare had won this argument. Peppy smirked he loved rubbing Fox's victories over Flaco in his face.
