Krystal

Bill Hey fox, There seems to be a problem with the context of the article, and the current content. Fox OK. Please talk about it on the discussion page and we will get this solved.

Krystal is a fictional, female character from the Star Fox series. She is a vixen with blue and white fur, and has telepathic powers. She made her official debut appearance in Star Fox Adventures, although she was originally meant to be in a non-Star Fox game called Dinosaur Planet. Her personal Arwing in Star Fox Command is the CloudRunner.

Krystal originally hails from Cerinia, which is believed to be a doomed planet which used to exist in either in the Lylat System or beyond. Apparently, she ultimately ends up on Sauria, where she was raised. After the events of Star Fox Adventures, she becomes a member in the Star Fox team, and eventually has a brief romantic relation with Fox McCloud. She eventually befriends Peppy's daughter, Lucy and Peppy begins to think of her as a second daughter. At this time, it is unknown what is Krystal's official path after the events of Star Fox Command, as one of the nine possible endings depicts Krystal settling with Fox, marrying him, and having a son with him. Another ending depicts Krystal leaving Fox all together, and eventually ending up as lonesome bounty hunter, under a new alias: Kursed.

In game History

Early History

Much of Krystal's early history remains unknown. She is stated to be the only survivor of the destruction of the planet Cerinia.

Krystal Meets Fox

A short time before the events of Star Fox Adventures, Krystal had picked up a telepathic distress signal from the planet Sauria. With the help of a CloudRunner rebel, she learned that the planet was being torn apart due to the results of the tyrannical General Scales. Shortly afterwards, the two are set upon by the General's flying galleon and Krystal's staff was shot from her hands. The CloudRunner managed to damage the airship greatly before Krystal jumped onto the ship itself. Unfortunately, she was captured by General Scales and, after a quick dialogue, was thrown overboard only to be saved by the CloudRunner. The CloudRunner then flew Krystal to the Krazoa Palace which had been overrun by the SharpClaw where she found many gravely injured EarthWalker warriors in the palace. After journeying through the palace, Krystal found a strange altar with an entity called a Krazoa Spirit. The spirit tasked Krystal with a test so that she may host the Krazoa, and the mission to collect the other five spirits. Unfortunately, her mission was cut short as she released the spirit into one of the Krazoa Shrines. Doing this allowed an unknown entity, one that Krystal seemed to recognize, to imprison her in a large, crystalline mechanism.

Twice in the game, Fox McCloud heared her voice through telepathic messages. The first was a message from within her staff which he had found in ThornTail Hollow. This told him about the staff and how to use it. The second message Fox recieved in Moon Mountain Pass. Here, Krystal pleaded for help from Fox and Tricky while the Krazoa she freed tasked Fox with finishing her mission to save her. It is unknown whether this was real or an illusion by Andross. After finding the second spirit and going to the Krazoa Palace for the first time, Fox first saw Krystal and instantly fell in love.

Once Fox had defeated General Scales, claimed his Krazoa, and released it into the palace, the Krazoa Spirits began to float around Krystal. They then entered her body and were shot out into the statue of the Krazoa. As the spirits were released, Krystal's prison shattered and she plunged from the top of the palace. Fortunately, Fox had been quick enough that he was able to stick Krystal's staff out fast enough for her to catch it. The two locked eyes and there was an immediate spark between the two. Fox hoisted Krystal up and she proceeded to take her staff back, against Fox's wishes. She uses the staff's power to blast at the statue head now floating above them, but the monster escaped and Fox followed with his Arwing.

After Andross, the true identity of the statue, was defeated and the Star Fox team reunited, Peppy told Fox about a message he had recieved from Krystal. In the message, she stated that she was eternally grateful to him and was sad that they didn't get a chance to thank him. To everyone's surprise, Krystal appeared in the Great Fox to do it personally. The other team members quickly saw that Fox was entirely smitten with her, especially after ROB unintentionally revealed his rising temperature and asks if he's okay. The game ends with the two staring into each other and Fox telling ROB he will be perfectly fine.

Her First Mission

Krystal's first major mission with the Star Fox team began about a year after the Sauria ordeal. In the Great Fox, Krystal and the rest of the team appeared in the space above Fortuna to fight Oikonny, the leader of the leftovers of the Venomian Army. Krystal, Fox, Falco, and Slippy followed Oikonny to the surface of Fortuna where they fought him controlling a mechasim with a similar appearance to Andross. When the ship was destroyed by laser from an Aparoid, Krystal tried to sense its mind, but found its thoughts incomprehensible and was blasted by the creature. Fox quickly dispatched the creature and the group went to rejoin Peppy and ROB.

The team then responded to a distress signal from the planet Katina. When Fox went on foot, Krystal tried to get assigned to the ground too, but Fox chose to go it alone. Fox later fought a giant Aparoid monster and Krystal helped him locate the weak point of the creature. The team eventually made their way to the Sargasso Space Hideout led by rival team leader, Wolf O'Donnell. Krystal and Falco worked together to take out the space fighters around the base until Star Wolf appeared. After defeat, the Star Wolf's newest member, Panther Caroso, fell for Krystal and, in a moment of weakness, gave her the information the team was looking for. Krystal was forced to stay behind for most of the mission on Fichina. Krystal flew down with Slippy went to aid Fox and Falco. Krystal sensed their enemy and told Fox to go to the asteroid field. There, the team found the remains of Star Wolf's ships, but Krystal's powers told her that the three had escaped. Krystal used her telepathic powers to find the villain Pigma Dengar and was shocked when she found that the Aparoid infection had caused Pigma to be absorbed into a massive robot.

The team sent the retrieved Core Memory to General Pepper, who told them they had located the Aparoid Homeworld. Before they could hurry to Corneria, Krystal telepathically sensed another distress signal from Sauria, telling of an Aparoid invasion. The team flew to Sauria as fast as possible only to find that any resistance had been wiped out. Krystal finally got her ground mission with Fox when the two were sent to destroy a series of Aparoid hatchers. The destruction of the hatchers cleared most of the Aparoids from the area and Krystal and Fox soon found Tricky, who offered them a ride back to their Arwings. Along the way, Tricky poked fun at Fox saying that, when this was all over, he and Krystal could eventually come back on their honeymoon. Krystal watched as the two bickered and even sound enticed when Fox said they weren't engaged, yet. Approaching the Arwings, Krystal knew the fun was over and broke up the fight.

Krystal flew with the team to Corneria when Pepper asked for their assistance. She fought blindly against Aparoids and infected Cornerian fighters while Fox destroyed Aparoid radar jammers Before long, the General's flagship appeared on the horizon. It wasn't long before the team found the ship and Pepper inside infected by the Aparoids. Krystal, frozen with fear and sadness, could not bring herself to hurt the General and Fox was left to fight the General himself on Wolf's wing.

Krystal and the rest of the group flew to the Beltino Orbital Gate, led by Slippy's father, Beltino. When over a dozen missiles targeted the gate, she helped destroy everyone within her range before following the other team members through a portal to the Aparoid Homeworld. Krystal was shocked when she saw the beauty of the planet. Later, she and Fox went down to the Aparoid City to destroy another series of hatchers. Krystal was speechless at the loss of Peppy and ROB when they were forced to pilot the Great Fox into another shield, but Fox snapped her and the rest of the team out of it and they flew into the tunnel to the core of the planet. They soon realized that they were being followed by Star Wolf. Panther offered Krystal his protection while the group flew to the planet core. The Queen used illusions to try to fool the team but Krystal knew that the Queen was faking and blasted the Aparoid Queen's armor off of it and Fox fired the program into the Queen. The Queen suppressed the program and drilled deeper into the core. Krystal followed her with the rest of the team and together, they destroyed the Queen's main body, leaving Fox to destroy what was left. With the Aparoid Queen destroyed, the team flew off to escape the collapsing planet.

In the debris of the collapsed homeworld, Star Fox basked in the glory of victory, except for Krystal. She remembered all those who died in the fight against the Aparoids. At that moment, Slippy saw a flashing light that was the same as the one from the escape pod of the Great Fox. Seconds afterwards came a transmission from Peppy, the one they thought dead. Krystal is last seen asking Fox what will happen next.
