Star Fox Reckonings

Epilogue

To Peppy and General Pepper's surprise, the team, out of the blue, brought a notable Venomian fugitive with his knocked-out guard pet.

"Where in freaking Sauria did they find this damn degenerate?" Was the very first thought coming to the general's head when he saw Lurv in cuffs and Brandie in a cage. Peppy, however, was a little less caught off-guard than Pepper. When he woke up out of his nap on that recliner of his, with the ONO cards noticeably absent from his hands, he looked around the Great Fox to find no one except for its robotic caretaker, ROB 64, who briefed him:

"FOX WENT TO HIS ARWING AND FLEW AWAY, HE HAD A SLIGHT INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE. FALCO WENT TO HIS ARWING AND FLEW AWAY SHORTLY AFTER, SLIPPY FOLLOWED FALCO NOT TOO LONG AFTER."

As soon as Peppy heard "Slight increase in temperature", he figured out what Fox went out for. He then looked through his already made map of Sauria (from their last adventure there) to refresh his and ROB's and Krystal's secret breakdown study in his elder mind.

But by then, that's when all four remaining members went into the room, exchanging the crazy stuff that happened to each of them on this peculiar day. When their elder teammate asked what happened (and why the hell did the other three get off the ship and assist without informing him.) the three crashers of the mission briefed him their accounts on what happened, and the sole mission team member briefed all of them her account on everything that happened. Fox got bewildered and amused hearing the story and had a change of perspective regarding the LightFoot tribe, Falco got really impressed and had a new level of respect for the little accompanying EarthWalker (The burns he saw himself and the four witnesses sealed it for him), both Peppy and Slippy were more impressed by the fact she was able to take on a huge mutated ape (until he got knocked out).

The two LightFoots were personally thanked by the rest of the team for their assistance to Krystal and Tricky, but RedFoot (to FireFoot's secret dismay) claimed that it was nothing much, and that they were just out there testing out an old key. Nevertheless, the two got honorary badges of their own, which did please FireFoot enough to dismiss RedFoot's downplay of their contributions.

As for Tricky, he was sent back by Fox to Walled City with a huge smile on his face. His queen mother was proud to see her son again, she was proud to see her son gaining more independence as a prince and go his way. However, his father was a bit upset to see him for that same reason, but when Tricky actually spilled the whole story to his parents (and actually spilling his GrubTub soup out of excitement telling his glaring moment during dinner when he torched the hell out of Lurv), his father was too astonished to remain mad, and actually considered the fact that it was probably time he trained his not-so-young-anymore son. A consideration which gave his pride over his son more volume and respect.

But not everything was all good-and-worthwhile. The Artifacts gathered by Krystal (Golden Perplex, and the two pieces of the Verdant Apex) did contribute telepathically to answering some of Krystal's questions about her people and home planet. But there was more... not to be found, as what remains of their artifacts' incomplete information'd be found later in some recorded accounts of entries and blueprints found in one of Lurv's secret safes which were seized by the Cornerian government, which were made public on Venom not too long before Sauria's reform.

Here's what some of them contained:

Entry Number 200-32

"My ruling of the Lylat System won't have to wait much longer, I have discovered an ancient power on Dinosaur Planet that could be restore my being and revive me. However, a person who could channel this power is necessary for my return. I must capture them, and only then will I ever be revived."
