MrKrystal

Chapter 8: The Discussion The door to Krystal's room slid open with a quiet gust of air. The room was dark, the air stale from days without use. Everything was just as she had left it. Reaching inside, Krystal found the light switch and entered her room, the door sliding quietly closed behind her. "Ok," Krystal spoke to herself, "What's the best way to test my strength?" She kept no weights or exercise equipment in her room. Krystal loved her workouts and was never one to miss her daily routine. Normally she'd go through her exercise routine in the ship's exercise room, or even the hanger bay before the Great Fox was lost. But now, with thi

An Unlikely Enemy Chapter 7: Refresh "HOLD ON!" I screamed at my friends as they looked at me in confusion. My mind was reeling as it surged in power and showed me the inevitable future of just a few moment's time. In my mind's eye, I could see a terrible explosion, and that I would soon be dragged into space. Even knowing this, I tried to escape, running from the place where the hole would be with all my strength. Of course, it was all too late. The actual explosion hit me then, and I was nearly knocked unconscious. I really wished I had been, because even without the tremendous pain and pressure that had pounded my body moments earlier,

An Unlikely Enemy Chapter 6: The Base "Jackson?!" Exclaimed Falco, "Who the heck is Jackson?" "No doubt it's Lee. He hasn't been completely honest with us," Fox muttered. "Completely honest, Fox? What part of 'working as anticipated' didn't you hear?" Asked Falco. "I heard it, and that could mean anything, good or bad. We'll have to see. I'm still going to go ahead with this. I have a feeling they intend to help Krystal, but probably not for the reasons he told us," Fox said. He turned to Slippy, "Quickly, before he gets back, undo what you did to the communications," Fox ordered. "Okay, Fox," Slippy said, growing concerned with this tu

An Unlikely Enemy Chapter 5: Complications "Andross?!" Gasped Fox and Falco at the same time, "That's illegal!" "Please keep your voices down!" said Colonel Lee in a loud whisper, "Is there somewhere more private we can discuss this?" Falco motioned towards Krystal's room, but kept his eyes on the Colonel, "Nobody's in there. The doctors are on a break." Lee and Falco entered the room followed by Fox, who closed the double doors quietly behind himself. Fox turned and looked at the room, for the first time seeing parts of it other than Krystal. It was a square room about 100 meters on each side, large enough for any medical operation. In

An Unlikely Enemy Chapter 4: The Right Choice Fox couldn't move. He could hardly breathe. There he was, James McCloud, standing there in his casual flight suit, the suit Fox had modeled his suit after in the early days of mercenary work. He had his arms folded across his chest as he looked out over the thousands of buildings and factories of the megacity below. Fox realized that his father had not looked at him when he had spoken before. There was a wavering in his voice that informed Fox of his father's struggle to keep his calm demeanor. It was as if James could not look at Fox without crying. Fox couldn't tell for sure, however, because
