VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!: Some things in this fanfiction are different from the games. For example: Samus does NOT feature a stackable beam system, she still does weapon changes and whatnot. Halo 2 NEVER happened, so the only thing different is that he has MJOLNIR armor. The Covenant is still intact and fighting the UNSC. The Command Ship Olympus is not the same one as in the game. Samus and Chief's personalities are a tad different from the games. And lastly, Master Chief is not the last SPARTAN-II, there are a few left. I believe that's all, let's start the show!

Chapter 1

Samus got out of the gunship, with Federal Police Officers getting out of a GFS behind it. They all had identical silver armor, while Samus' PED Suit was glowing orange, red, silver, and blue. It seemed to blend in more with the people behind her than the Varia suit would have. Samus saw a message type in on her HUD.

"Samus, do not forget your top priority." The computerized female voice said as the message typed in.

"Yes, yes, I know. Galactic Federation Trooper Squad Rocher and I find the Phazon source on this planet, hold off any threats, hold down the fort until more backup and equipment arrives, and then contain the Phazon and return it to the ship for transportation to the Galactic Federation HQ for experimentation." She said. As she said it the message went to her employer.

Another message came in. "Be sure to take the Phazon before it is retrieved by the pawn of the Space Pirates. It shall stop at nothing to retrieve Phazon."

"I know. We won't let it get to the Phazon. This planet is at the edge of the universe. I doubt the Pirates will find it anyway."

"Good. Now go." The GFS ship then took off, and zoomed out of the planet's horizon.

"Planet Rethion…" Samus said. "Gold skies, crimson-glowing sand, and no sign of water or civilization anywhere. Nice place," Samus and his team walked for ten minutes finding nothing. "This is dumb. Give me a reading."

The Officer directly behind Samus looked at his radar. "I'm detecting faint levels of radiation. But it's kind of far. Pretty far. Roughly 20 someodd miles."

"Crap…" Samus moaned. "I doubt we'll get there by the time that freak show finds its way to this planet. Simmons, you're sure that's where it is? Simmons?" Not receiving an answer, she turned around, and saw that her backup crew was dead on the floor. Horrified, she looked around to see what could have caused it. She caught a split second glance of a dark figure dashing into a cave. Convinced this was the culprit, she readied her Power Beam and went into Morph Ball. She then boosted towards the cave. Once inside, she turned back into regular form. It was so dank in there…

She ran and ran and ran for what seemed like hours. Eventually she could run no more. The cave was burning hot. Why were caves hot? But luckily she was protected by her suit. She kept walking for what seemed like hours, but was most likely shorter…until eventually she was lost.
