   They went into the vortex as they were taken through a tunnel and made it out as they were at their destination as they saw the Aparoid home-world from a distance.

"That's the place." Krystal says as she pinpoints it on the map.

"So that's where it is. Been having trouble finding it myself." Stan spoke.

"It was well hidden. I remember when James and I fought them before and after a successful battle, we were able to push them back into retreat. They went quiet for years until now." Peppy explains.

"James?" Jimmy asked.

"My father. He used to run this mercenary team before me. He was a legend, and I followed his footsteps." Fox spoke as he started to remember his father's fate.

"He sounded cool." Jimmy said with a smile.

Fox chuckled a little and said, "Oh he is."

"Looks like there are a few outposts that are full of hostile Aparoids that will keep us from entering inside. We have to take them out first." Krystal explains.

"Then, lets head there." Slippy says as he headed to the hangar.

"Stan, are you coming?" Falco asked.

"Yeah. Just getting my armor ready." He said as he puts his Gamerknight helmet on.

"Jimmy. Since you proven yourself in the last few days, I'll let you be on this mission." Fox says as he gave him a blaster.

"You mean?"

"Yes, we have talked about it, and you can do this mission with us, but you have to do what I say. Understand?" Krystal sternly asked.

"I understand."

"Come on. You can ride with me in my Arwing."

   Everyone but Peppy headed to the hangar to get in their Arwings while Stan jumps out of the airlock and flies to the enemy outpost first. Krystal picked up Jimmy and place him on her lap as she was in the cockpit getting her Arwing ready to launch.

   She started to notice that Jimmy was a little nervous about helping out on the mission already, but she knows deep down that he will do well. Everyone flew out of The Great Fox as Krystal, Jimmy and Fox landed onto the outposts to take care of the enemies on foot while Falco, Slippy, and Stan do air support while taking care of the enemies in midair.

   Krystal signaled Jimmy to stay behind her while she started killing a few small Aparoids with her blaster. Jimmy kept a grip on his blaster as he followed her down the stairs to find any Aparoid spawners around.

"Jimmy, I want you to keep watch behind us as I try to get close to destroy that Aparoid spawner." She explains to him.

  He nodded with confidence as he saw a giant Aparoid flying towards them. Jimmy aimed with his blaster but fear kind of made his arms shake like jelly as he fires and misses a few times. Krystal noticed and she grabbed his arms to help him aim and Jimmy shot it in the head and its down to its death.

  "Jimmy don't be afraid. I know you can do it." She said as she got close and throws a grenade at the spawner.

  BOOM!

  The explosion of the grenade destroys it instantly and Jimmy started to have a little confidence as he shot down a few Aparoids coming at them. Krystal yanked him close as she pulled out her Gatling mini gun and started firing to get through.

  Jimmy even started firing his blaster and started to have confidence and adrenaline as he helps shoot any Aparoid that they see.

  Meanwhile, A swarm of flying Aparoids started to come to attack and Stan started slashing them with his sword to thin them out ,but struggles as some Aparoids tried to grab hold of him as he tried to kill many as possible.

Falco and Slippy noticed as they started firing their lasers at the swarm to help Stan.

"Damn pesky bugs! Get off me!" Stan shouted as he kept swinging.

"Hang on Stan!" Falco shouted as fires at the swarm that helped Stan get freed.

"Firing bomb! Stan, get clear from the blast!" Slippy shouted as he fired a bomb after Stan got out of the way.

   The swarm was disintegrated into ash from the explosion, and they started to have to upper hand to take control the skies while Krystal, Jimmy and Fox tried to clean the outposts of eliminating any remaining Aparoids and the spawners that keeping bring more enemies in the battlefield.

   Krystal ran out of ammo on her mini gun and throws into the side as she pulls her blaster out to push forward while Jimmy was behind her shooting an Aparoids coming behind them. The last spawner was ahead and Krystal fires and tries to make it. Jimmy proved his confidence and helped her push closer. Krystal threw a grenade, and the explosion destroyed the last spawner.

  Jimmy then fired on the last of the Aparoids and Krystal was proud of what he proved of being a great member of the team. As the enemy outposts were cleared. The Aparoids retreated inside their home planet and tried to close off the entrance to keep them from entering.

   The problem was that nothing is causing the forcefield to open that Peppy had no choice but to ram The Great Fox to make an opening for them.

"Peppy what are you doing?!" Fox shouted.

"Sorry Fox, but this is the only way to get inside! Go hurry!" Peppy shouted as he crashed The Great Fox through the forcefield.

  Everyone got in their Arwings and Jimmy was ready to see the most insane battle of life or death. The battle of the Aparoid queen.
