Eventually, Andross began his rise to power and [[General Pepper|Pepper]], General of the Cornerian Defense Force, hired his old friends the Star Fox team to take him down. Unfortunately, [[Pigma Dengar]], a member of this team, was on Andross's payroll and betrayed James to his supposed death. While James's fate remains unknown, the third pilot, [[Peppy Hare]], escaped and was left with unenviable task of informing Fox of his father's demise. Fox followed in the footsteps of his father by forming a new Star Fox team of his friends [[Slippy Toad]], Falco Lombardi and original member Peppy Hare.

When Fox lands at [[ThornTail Hollow]], that he's trying to save the planet, not blow it up further. Fox's weapon problems are solved when he finds a solution to his weapon problems, a magic staff impaled into the ground. When he picks up the staff, he hears a female voice speaking in a language he had never heard before. Despite this, he seems to understand the voice and, after gaining a new ability for the staff, uses it to enter a mysteriously locked cavern. Inside was the [[Queen EarthWalker]]. Fox has Slippy translate through his communicator and finds that he had to go to [[Ice Mountain]] to find [[Tricky|Prince Tricky]]. To get there, Fox has to use a living statue called the [[WarpStone]]. At first, the WarpStone was uncooperative, but after some convincing agreed to help Fox.

After arriving, Fox finds two [[SharpClaw]] grunts with a captured Tricky in tow. He freed Tricky and defeated the grunts. At that point, Slippy sent down the translation device and Fox warned Tricky about his mother. Upon returning to ThornTail Hollow, Fox learned what was truly going on. [[General Scales]], leader of the SharpClaw tribe, had taken the [[SpellStones]] from the [[Force Point Temples]] and released the [[Krazoa Spirits]] from the [[Krazoa Palace]]. This caused the energies within Sauria to break the planet apart. Though he thinks it odd, Fox understands and takes Tricky to the [[SnowHorn Village]] where they met [[Garunda Te]], leader of the [[SnowHorn Tribe]] and GateKeeper of [[DarkIce Mines]]. Scales had threatened his tribe with death if Garunda did not let him into the mines. Though Garunda had not, his daughter [[Belina Te]] could not see the tribe destroyed allowed him into the mines.

Scales had threatened his tribe with death if Garunda did not let him into the mines. Though Garunda had not, his daughter [[Belina Te]] could not see the tribe destroyed allowed him into the mines. Fox proceeded to fly his Arwing to the piece of the planet that contains DarkIce Mines. Entering the mines, he eventually found Belina locked inside a SharpClaw cell. After freeing her, Fox continued on until he finds a portal that leads to the chamber of [[Galdon]]. After getting damaged enough, the monster swallowed Fox, allowing him to obtain the SpellStone and kill Galdon. As Fox walked back to his Arwing with Belina, he told her to forgive her father as he was only thinking of the good of the planet and she agrees.
 
Fox then returned to the Queen EarthWalker and found he had to head to the Volcano Force Point Temple to place the SpellStone. He quickly got to the temple and placed the SpellStone in the Force Point. On the way back through [[Moon Mountain Pass]], he heard the voice from the staff again. This time, she is pleading for help and a Krazoa Spirit appeared that appointed Fox the mission of finding the other five spirits. After finding one in the mountain area, he returned to the WarpStone and was sent to the Krazoa Palace. Before releasing the spirit into the palace, he saw a beautiful vixen imprisoned at the height of the tower and swore to save her. He then headed for [[Cape Claw]] where the [[Queen CloudRunner]] was held captive. After freeing her, Fox followed her to the piece of the Sauria with the [[CloudRunner Fortress]] located on it. Tricky had not come due to a rivalry between the EarthWalkers and the CloudRunners. Fox continues on alone until he runs into General Scales himself. Both he and the Queen are captured, though Fox managed to escape when Slippy sent him a [[SharpClaw Disguise]]. He broke the Queen out and rescued her children. He then found Scales again trying to hide a SpellStone. He hands the stone to three SharpClaw grunts who fled on their vehicles. Fox chased them on a fourth vehicle, destroyed the vehicles and collected the SpellStone.
 
After returning to Cape Claw, Fox found the Ocean Force Point Temple hidden behind a great statue of a Krazoa head and placed the SpellStone in the Force Point. On his way back, Fox is ambushed by the [[LightFoot]] tribe who believe him to be a SharpClaw ally. With the help of a CloudRunner, Fox forced the tribe back and was allowed to leave. Fox then headed to the [[Walled City]], the palace of the [[EarthWalker|EarthWalkers]]. This is where the [[King EarthWalker]] was held captive. General Scales had freed the [[RedEye]] tribe, a savage tribe that the EarthWalkers had kept in containment until now. Fox learned how to defeat the RedEyes and freed the King from inside the palace. After this, Fox continued down beneath the palace where the [[King RedEye]] was hidden. Fox managed to defeat savage king and pry the SpellStone from his head. Once again, Fox visited the Volcano Force Point and place the penultimate SpellStone.
 
As for the location of the next GateKeeper, Fox had no idea. It was only when he talked to a [[ThornTail]] that had previously been silent, that Fox learned the ThornTail was the GateKeeper. He had led ressistance team against the SharpClaw, but failed and he was the only one to escape. Fox then made his way to [[Dragon Rock]], the location of the last SpellStone. Here, he helped save three Dinosaurs, the last of which had previously assisted Krystal, the girl Fox had earlier seen imprisoned. After destroying the barriers around the tower in the center, Fox fought [[Drakor]], a mutant experiment ordered by General Scales. Fox defeated the abomination and obtained the final SpellStone. Though, when he placed the stone in the Force Point Temple, he found that nothing happened.
 
For guidance, Fox returned to the King EarthWalker. The King told Fox that he would need the other two Krazoa Spirits. He then pleaded Fox to find the spirits so he could see his wife again and, thinking of Krystal, Fox stated they both have their reasons for finding the spirits. After solving two great puzzles, Fox foune the chamber of the fifth Krazoa Spirit. Before leaving, Fox tole Tricky to stay behind and said that Tricky was now an honorary member of Team Star Fox.
 
Fox immediately landed at the top of the Krazoa Palace and released the spirit, thus unlocking a warp to the final spirit. Here, Fox was confronted by General Scales himself, but before they could fight, a disembodied voice forced Scales to reveal that he had the final Krazoa Spirit and transfer it to Fox. Fox then escaped to release the final spirit. As the spirits whirled around the imprisoned Krystal, they entered her body and then were shot out into the statue of the Krazoa. Krystal's prison then shattered and she began to fall from the top of the palace. At the last moment, Fox thrust Krystal's staff out and she caught it. When their eyes met, it was love at first sight. At that moment, the statue's head broke off and flew up into space with Fox right behind it in his Arwing. When the head turned around, it was revealed that the true master behind the Saurian crisis was Andross reborn. Fox put up a great fight against the mad scientist reborn, but at one point, found he could no longer dodge Andross's attacks.
 
Andross had began to suck Fox in with his breath when a [[Smart Bomb]] was fired into Andross's mouth. Fox turned to see that Falco had returned. Together they defeated the demonic ape and healed the planet.
 
Fox is next seen in the Great Fox getting a message from General Pepper. The General procedes to send Star Fox the bill for their efforts and Falco walks in and asked to rejoin the team. At this point, Peppy remembers to play message sent from Krystal to Fox. In the message she apologized for being unable to talk long. While the message plays, the team hears a noise from the Great Fox's boarding platform and, at the end of the message, Krystal enters. Fox is visibly blushing when ROB 64 accidentally reveals that Fox's internal temperature is rising and that he is clearly in love with Krystal. The scene ends with the two looking and smiling at each other.
