This is my particular version of the future for Star Fox, I liked so much their adventures that I didn't want the story to probably end with the last game (Is a possibility and I don't like it ok?).

So I wanted to write something different from the usual fan fiction, no sex or anything like that, a new cool adventure, and I mean cool because I am going to design new ships and DO them in 3D, I know they are going to be a bit crappy but hey, at least give me some credit for the effort I am putting in this.

For now this is all you can get from me since I don't have time to draw in my 3D program the ships for the Bragüar system and the Ironlords (Read below), and also four special ships...

Well anyway, this is the introduction and it took me a week to do, it is not the best but it is long and explains enough, and as I have said, here isn't going to be sex, and if in any chapter I put sex, I am not going to make it the main thing, so don't expect much of it, now read dam it X3.

Everything in the Bragüar system and the Ironlords including the story is copyrighted by me, Uros Osium Tokker.

1º Arc: The discover of the outer realms

******

*It is hard to believe* It was what Fox Mcloud, one of the heroes of Cornelia in the Lylat system, though "It is hard to believe... That I had lived everything I had to live" He said, looking at himself in a mirror.

Fox McCloud, son of James McCloud, also called Fox McCloud senior, Fox is what his name says, a fox, normal in body (Also fur) and tall, handsome for almost everyone who sees him, also thin and with good muscles and mind, a price for any woman or man you may though, but he has his woman, as she has him... But now, he wasn't thinking about it.

He was happy with Kristal, his wife, as everyone on the Star Fox Team was, married, or with sons already, also, the battles were over, Kornelia was saved, even the general Pepper, now old and in a happy retirement for all his service, and so was the Star Wolf Team, they were caught once and didn't want to go to prisons... so they quit, whit that, there was no greed in the system anymore, even if the teams still had little practice fights between them, for the old times.

But now, now was different from all this time, how much? Half his life? He killed Andros, saved Cornelia more than once as he saved Dinosaur Planet and everything in their space, he even took a few fights saving Earth more than once (Even if the humans don't seem to know, or don't care to much), then, why was he asking himself if he has done enough good things in his life?

"Fox dear, the dinner is ready" Krystal said in the kitchen, hell, when they first met she was the only female onboard, but she was like a man in character with them too, even if she changed over time, she was strong as she was when he know her, also fast, intelligent, and still a beauty, but he missed old times so much...

"I am coming Krystal, wait only a few more minutes, I need to do something" He then turned, now he remembered where he was, in the room with his treasures, this was the only thing every house of the Star Fox members had in common, where they stored their treasures, battle trophies and such.

He wandered around them... A piece of the Aparoid Queen, it was supposed for all the Aparoid and their remains to been vanished in the thin air, or scrambled, after the queen was destroyed, but this part remained, also a piece of the "ship" General Scales had, also his helmet... Old times, old times... Why couldn't he think in anything else?

Then he remembered, the mirror, he took it and looked at himself again, this mirror was special, once in the sector X he alone found a Fichinian ship, this wasn't the first time one of them come out of their world, but this was different...

*** Back in time, seven years in the past***

Fox connected the radio and talked "Fox McCloud, from the Star Fox Team of the Cornelian army, what business do you have? What does a Fichinian ship of this size in this sector?" He waited, but the Fichinian response, a great ship in V form and apparently disarmed, it was really bigger than Fox's old basic Arwing, but even if it was now a bit old and rusty it was still working well and with a few changes to make it better.

But focusing in the Fichinian ship, it didn't give an answer to Fox's call, what was happening? Because Fox needed to go at slow speed, but still the Fichinian vessel was moving, and the Fichinian or everyone in the Lylat system usually didn't need autopilots, the travels were fast and without problems, so if this was moving, inside the ship must be someone.

Fox needed to think fast, and he usually does, so he approached the Fichinian vessel and boarded it, if they weren't answering, it was his duty to see if they were in danger, dangerous (Could happen), or something else was happening, but taking precautions, he took an air mask, only in case the pilots had died poisoned for a malfunction in the air purification, or something alike, in the long trips, even Cornelian ships could break...

So he boarded the ship, blaster at hand and a flashlight on the other, when he took land in the Fichinian ship... it was disastrous, there was dry blood on the walls and no signs of fight, the blue light of the X sector glowing inside the ship across the windows, giving it a strange look, something wasn't ok in this ship.

He walked across the corridors of the ship, looking everywhere for someone alive without taking of the air mask, he had took samples of the air and it was ok, but he didn't want to take any risk, even if the only thing he could see was blood here or there, like this ship was almost without crew in the first place, and the few people inside were killed for something... something that didn't like the remains of its actions.

After much wandering, he didn't saw anything except blood, and even where it was abundant, it wasn't more than a few drops of it or a small puddle in the wall or in the ground, sometimes tough, it was in the ceiling of the corridor. Once with a great hole, but there was a lot of blood and the hole didn't seem to get out of the ship, so this wasn't a good sign, even if whatever thing that was here so long ago (As it appeared for the ship is age and status) would be dead by now.

But in the end Fox reached the bridge of the ship, it was intact and clean, almost like this had some life, leaving the rest of the ship like a derelict, and in the centre of the cabin, full of seats, monitors and the captain's sheath, was a mirror, a beautiful looking mirror, covered in what seemed like gold in the borders, diamonds and other gems everywhere and more beauty things covering it.

***In Fox's time, now***

Fox suddenly awoke from this daydream, something seemed wrong... he couldn't remember what happened next, he had looked back at point of his story more than once and now... he seemed to remember this had happened every time he had tried to look back to that moment, what could it be? Krystal could surely help, so he walked towards the kitchen, she was still there.

"Well, hello dear, this was quicker than I thought, you only took five minutes" She said giggling, until she saw the mirror "Dear... You know I don't like the mirror, I don't even know why you have kept it when I told you it could be better for us to break it and use the jewels and gold it has..."

Now Fox was concerned, he does remember it, she had been uneasy with the mirror and it usually ended bad if you don't take her seriously, but he needed to remember the story "Krystal, we both had a great life and many adventures, I haven't seen you NEVER as you are now, with something that seems like fear in your eyes and hate, but I must ask; someone could lose its memory? Not entirely, only... parts of it, like the memories of this mirror?"

Krystal then looked at him confused, usually her blue fur, now a little paler with the time, was like alive and almost glows with life thanks to the happiness in the room, now her fur was almost white "I... don't know, I think it is selective... But it is only when the memory is traumatic or it is something you don't need to remember... or worse, you don't want... But it is impossible for you to loss your memory, you never forget"

Fox thought about that for a moment; why would he suppress a memory? He looked at his past, seven years ago he was near to achieve forty and was really nervous, he and Krystal had a fight about marrying and the relationship was almost broke, there! That was it! He didn't want anymore adventures back there; he was growing like a true man like his father and wanted to have a family, so when he discovered the mirror...

"Oh... shit... that is it" Krystal now had her fur normal again, only parts were white as ever and the rest where blue as always, she seemed younger, and Fox knew why "Krystal, I remember now, but it is unpleasant... even if it is, would you like me to tell you the story?"

Krystal sat in one of the chairs of the kitchen and nodded to Fox "Well, then I must say that when you hear it, it is going to be something hard for you to understand, not because it is hard to explain, because if you see the future, it is hard to believe..."

***Again seven years in the past, in the bridge of the ship***

Fox stood in the front part of the bridge, there once was the captain of this ship, now only the mirror, even if he haven't looked at it to much, but there where also the navigational records too, maybe they got something useful, so he picked a tool Slippy gave him time ago, a data picklock (stealer was its nickname, Fox licked it).

He used it in the old looking data recorded in front of the captain's chair, then a enormous head appeared from it, it was non human, but another like Fox, except this one was a dog, it looked like General Pepper, but much younger.

"Greetings, you who had found the Templar, I am..." The holographic head said before looking at Fox, but when he (Because the voice is male) looked, he was like amused, it felt strange to Fox "Oh god! You are Fox McCloud! You worked under my father's command in the war with Andros!"

Fox didn't understand almost a word, but he could put two and two together... "The hologram is in bad shape, but you are General Pepper's son, I know how he talks and looks all to well, but why are you in this ship when it is empty, old, and possibly attacked?"

"Attacked?... Dam it! Fox, you must get out of there now! There are too many dangers onboard if what you have said is true!" Fox didn't want to wait anymore than the necessary in this dammed ship, and this was calling for a tactical retreat... at full speed! He took the stealer and for his surprise, the hologram was now projecting from it.

He then ran towards the doors, but they closed in a second, forcing him to wait "What is this?" He asked looking at General Pepper's son "This ship was DEAD a moment ago, I need to get out of here, I don't like how it is going"

"Sit Fox, the defense program is unstable in this state and retrieving the data to call me had made it go wild, it will kick of in any moment, but well, he have time to talk" Now the hologram was better and bigger, it showed also the colors, it was possible that the ship was too damaged to show it properly "I am colonel Osgord, son of General Pepper, captain of the first and only battalion of Bragüar Prime, in Bragüar System, twelve systems away from Lylat System"

"Twelve?! But here we only know a few and they are close... How do you even know where the hell we are? It is a long travel for anyone" Fox was surprised, he knew a lot of planets and a few systems, such as the Solar system, but they where relatively close to Lylat.

"Its your future Fox, in ten years, your scientists will discover a medicine that makes anyone live the double or triple of their lives, we don't remember how, but it was meant to destroy some cells and make the body stop rust at its speed. I myself have one hundred in my shoulders and still look like a kid even don't knowing too well how... But this discovering is going to cost us dearly" Osgord stopped and sighed, a explosion was heard in the hologram "A new specie, the Ironlords, a specie of mechanical beings will seek for slaves that are strong and could live really long, even if they don't want to. In twenty years more or less, they will attack the Lylat system, destroying Sauria, Corneria, Aqua and Venom, along with sucking the energy from the sectors Y and X to sustain and create their units thus destroying six of the jewels of our system in less than five years"

Fox was horrified, it is true that they had less army and they weren't as good as they were in the beginning, but such destruction? Osgord saw it and continued "Don't think it is your team's fault Fox, your team was the one who needed to get us where we are now, in Bragüar system, across the orbital gate, overloading it to make a jump across the systems, here we regained power and hold when the enemies come to us" Suddenly the general took a handgun and shot towards the hologram projector, a metal sound was heard a moment after "But now you, your wife, your son and your group are dead... I am sorry to spoil your future, but you have what we need: You, Krystal, and anybody else in your team... we need help, Fox, the Ironlords have won the battle in seven of our ten planets, without counting our sun and three dead planets, our hopes are depleted as are our fleets and troops, most of us are the last generations, we are doomed if we don't receive help soon"

Fox stood up again, since the story had forced him to sit and think a lot... a son, his friends, Krystal and himself dead... too much to bear "What kind of help? We don't have that medicine that allows us to be young again and live more, my group only wants to have a quiet life now, and we only have our old Arwings with us, the Great Fox was destroyed with our newest Arwings... again... And the Landmaster was destroyed with our last battle"

Osgord snorted "We have everything you need, even a copy of the old Great Fox, tougher and stronger, two Landmasters, one Blue-Marine and your old Arwings, but with new features, I know you liked the new models, but we need the old ships, the new one were vulnerable to some electronic viruses..."

Fox sighed a little; he didn't want anymore adventures for now, until the problem with Krystal was over at least "I... I don't want to lose everything in the future, but I am not ready to go, not now... I have problems with Krystal and after all you have said, it is possible, or sure, that this could be our last fight, ever, if we fail, it could make a paradox" Fox wanted to say something to wait, to let this as it was, he has seen a lot of strange things and this was only one more to add at the group, but it wasn't the reason he has to deny the help.

"I don't want to force you Fox" The colonel said, smiling at him "Here, you see the old ship Templar" He said making Fox look at the ship, it really look old "If the scanners don't lie, twelve years or so has the ship gone missing in your system, but for us it was only two dais... the time barrier is almost stopped with the mirror you have seen" Osgord pointed towards the mirror in the captain's control chair.

Fox approached the chair and took the mirror "This mirror only looks like an excuse to put a lot of jewelry on something simple, making it look weird..." He looked everywhere in the mirror, but nothing was unusual.

"Look, there are a lot of riches in that mirror, but most of them are fakes, they are devices for a time portal, only the diamonds are "half real" because they can guide anyone to the initial portal, where you can come to our time, you, or whoever comes with one of the diamonds"

"This means that I can make things right with Krystal and then come to your aid?" Osgord nodded "Well, then I think I will make the things go smooth first, then we shall talk about this, is that ok?" Osgord nodded again, then...

***In the "present" again***

"Oh... it hurts... badly" Fox was like in pain, his head hurt a lot, he had remembered most of it, but the end was stuck, it didn't want to get out.

Krystal was... a little socked to say the least, but even if the story was; unbelievable and impossible, also disgusting and terrifying for what she have heard, inside of her something wanted to go "Fox, now that the things are fine... Can we go and help them?"

"What?! You want to go to AGAIN and fight in ANOTHER war? We were supposed to be happily married and with family, not wanting to fight again..." He swears that it sounded really awful, being him almost desperate to have an adventure again.

"Oh, so you weren't talking in dreams about the great fights you were having, not to mention the large amount of time you waste in the trophy room..." She got up and kissed Fox in the forehead "You don't fool anyone dear"

Fox blushed a bit, but firmly stood up, looking at her seriously "If I don't want to go is because I have to take you with me Krystal, I know we have been discussing this since we met, but you have seen that this time the enemy won... They killed us! This time is reasonable if I am worried, or not?"

Kristal then went angry looking at Fox; she then took her ring and showed it to him "See this?" She asked putting it in front of Fox's face "We promised to be with each other in every moment of our lives, it means EVERY... Or would you like if I return with Wolf O'Donnell and the others in Star Wolf and fallow you to Bragüar?"

"Point taken... lets prepare the ships and depart as fast as we can, I don't need to bother the others with..." Krystal giggled and blushed slightly when he said that "Don't tell me, let me guess... they were suspicious too and asked you to put cameras or microphones in every room..."

"Well... not quite..." She pressed a button and three screens appeared... The visual phones... "They have heard all the story, Slippy has used one of his inventions to see if you were saying the truth, and the answer is..."

"He is saying it" Slippy Toad, 46 years, said looking at his lie detector, his skin was now darker and the white of his front par has gone grey, the time was making him pay for his brains, but returning to his lie detector, that is something that would NEVER fail "At leas he believes he is doing, and this even show you the brain waves, if he says something that isn't true but he believes it AND his brain not, this must show something, so pretty much this all is true"

Falco Lombardi, 47 years, was in the left next to Slippy, he was like the old dais, always training and with good health, he almost didn't change at all, except for his beak, he had a lot of, we can call it "scars" in it, also some more in his face, he was the only member that like to play rough "Well, if it is true, I want to go now! I miss the battle and every time we come in action, the enemy dies too soon, like our first and third adventure together"

Then his wife pounced him, she is Katt Monroe, 43 years, a pink cat with a lot of character and almost not changed in this years, except that she needed now to die her fur, because it lose the color and become black if she don't pay attention to it "If my Falco goes, I go too, count me in or I will gut you alive" Everyone started at her, until she took a pill and become slightly red "Sorry I had to take a lot of caffeine today... But I am serious, I am going"

"Peppy here" Said Peppy Hare, the oldest of the group with almost 70 years, even being that old he was very vigorous and had a happy personality with a lot of time and experience "I will go too, it has been to long without flying and the old James would like me to give advice to his son, also, my daughter don't want to be lonely with his job again"

His daughter then showed up, Lucy Hare, now 41 more or less "I am ready to use a pair of wings and a great adventure, count me in to check any anomaly and anything that touch astrophysics" Then he took a helmet designed for her kind "Ready to depart Fox"

Fox McCloud was, still, the leader... To much time without that weight in his shoulders, and he liked the weight of that charge, even with 47 he was still really active "Ok then, we are on for a mission, I want everyone of you ready when the diamonds arrive, so, in two hours everyone must be in Cornelia is airspace, only if some of this things broke in the way to your home" He waited a moment and said "But before anything else happens... Slippy, tell Amanda to go to Katina and pick Bill Grey then go to Cornelia, I ask you this because I know your father was injured in his last job and cant do the work Cornelia needs, sorry to keep you away from here in this mission" Slippy didn't minded, but he was a bit sad, though he knew it was for the best "Peppy, you should give the command to they and Dash Bowman, they can help anyone in danger wile we are on this adventure"

Then everyone leaved leaving Fox and Krystal alone, she looked at him she was still seven years younger than him (40) but they two were as the first day with their love, except Krystal was sometimes more dominant than Fox "Well dear, I think we have something to pass the time with" She grinned, kissing Fox in the lips.

***Two hours after that***

In the spaceport ROB was waiting with a new ship, a transporter, strange model, almost indescribable, but it would do its job. Fox was in the bridge, it was too familiar. Krystal and Lucy were talking with Peppy after he had given powers to the three that Fox said; Bill and Amanda will ensure the prosperity of the Lylat system with 2/3 of the army. Dash has been given powers to terraform Venom and make it a second home for every man and woman in the Lylat system, also saying that he was a great fighter and a man of confidence, making him proud, and also, ensuring he would not give to his grandfather is dark wises.

Moments after, Falco, Katt and Slippy boarded the ship, but Falco was worried "Fox! The diamond you send us is missing! I have put the old Arwing in the hangar of the ship and then searched for the jewel, but it isn't there, and I remember putting it a few minutes before leaving Katina"

"Katina... Katina... There are no robbers in Katina and also if they where there, they would have taken the ship... Did you saw anything strange?" Fox was suspicious about something, but he didn't say anything.

"Well... When I helped Katt to aboard a... Pink copy of her Kat Paw (Our last flight ended with that ship in the asteroid belt) Ouch! Don't hit me Katt!" Katt said something about "Katt hears, dear" and approached the other girls "Well, I think I saw a green tail, it looked like a lizard one"

"Hmm... If I am correct, we are going to have a few problems, but for now, let's head towards..." Fox looked at the mirror in the control panel and in the diamond he had in his hand "X sector... Bad memories, but c'mon ROB put us in orbit and let's go!"

***One hour and few minutes in space, the ship reaches X sector***

"Well Slippy, what does the radar tell you?" Fox asked after they arrived at the middle of X sector.

"If I am correct... head shout and we shall find the portal... Wait! Three ships are coming!" The radar was like mad, the three ships were fast and small, and also they were heading to them!

"Who are those guys?! ROB! Send a transmission!" ROB used the communications device and set online the head of the captain of the three ships, it was Wolf O'Donnell (Age is 52) "Wolf... What are you doing in the X sector?!"

"Don't get so mad Fox" He said showing the diamond "Leon has give me this, and fallowing you we have discovered a new place to crash, and since you have eradicated all the funny things and our "healthy" rivalry, I think we can play in a new terrain..."

Then Leon (Age 50), a chameleon, showed up "Hello Falco, you dam bird, remember we have something to settle, oh, and thanks for the diamond, it is going to be beautiful when I throw it into your grave"

Then Panther, the younger and, anyone could say it, cuter of them all (46 years more or less, he doesn't want to talk a bout it) showed up with his usual flower "Hello Krystal, our pats cross again, I hope if this time I defeat you, you will come with me again"

Then their ships, the Wolfens passed the transporter where Fox and his friends where, hitting a barrier and disappearing "ROB!" Fox shouted "Turn now! Turn or we are going to..." But it was too late, and the transporter was engulfed, leaving all in the dark of the space and the blue of the X sector...

Well, fin, the end, finito... The first chapter and introduction is this, here I hope to get some comments because at least here the people may not know me, but in curiosity they, and I mean you, can take a peek here not searching for sex I hope.

This is also in my FA page, but almost nobody looks at it and I am there since the past year ¬¬... A link to my page if anyone is interested in it, also there I have a few more works: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/uros/
