Chapter 1: Tough Landing
Samus dashed as fast as she could towards her gunship, tripping over her steps as she ran through the trembling Leviathan. She opened the door, and as its tendrils exposed a hole to the main room, she jumped through it, and then felt her body curve into a circle, and then felt herself melt away into a pool of light. The luminescent ball burst forward, lunging forward in an arched trajectory several times until it landed in front of her gunship, and then turned dim to reveal Samus' vibrant suit. She ran onto the hatch of her gunship and waited for the platform to raise her into the ship. She sat on the ship, and pressed her hand on the control panel. On her visor appeared a map of the galaxy, and a set of coordinate presets. She chose one to take her into orbit over the Pirate Homeworld, and the ship burst out of the Leviathan into the acid rain-laden crimson sky. She felt her ship rock as the Leviathan exploded behind her.
The lifeboat shook as it began its descent towards the gray planet. Master Chief stood in the middle, looking at Kelly. She hadn't fastened her seat belt. If anyone was gonna be lost it'd be her. He was placed in charge of Blue Team, as usual, and was sharing the lifeboat with Green Team. The lifeboat finally impacted, and Chief fell to the floor. He probably sprained his ankle, because it hurt. He looked on his HUD. He was injured; the impact came through his shields and hydrostatic gel layer of his suit. He'd need a MedKit.
Aurora Unit 242 finally finished her boring debriefing on Samus' next mission. Absolutely not feeling like doing anything for a while, she took a second to gaze at the new blue finish of her suit. Now infested to the core with Phazon, its shell was a deep, strong blue. It seemed to glow beautifully. She took a look at her radar, and something weird has happening next to Norion. A ship was dropping what looked like little escape pods towards it, and then the ship exploded. From what she saw, the ship was not Galactic Federation, which meant only one thing: it was Space Pirate. She put in the coordinates and the ship warped to the GF base Norion.
Master Chief opened the hatch and opened up the MediKit. He opened up the latch and took out the pill inside. He picked up his helmet and swallowed the pill. He gradually felt his leg get better for a few minutes. Kelly opened the door and stepped outside, gun at the ready. All the other SPARTANS did the same. I watched as they checked their 3's, 9's, and 12's, and then Kurt came back in and helped me to my feet.
"Kurt, status and casualty report." I ordered.
"No casualties. Linda was injured but a MediKit cleared it right up, and you used the second one, sir, so I guess that means…"
"It means we can't afford another serious injury. Here's the deal—all units stay sharp and follow the lead of Fred and I. Kelly, send a distress report to the UNSC on an encrypted channel. Blue and Red Teams, go!"
The gray surface of Norion came into view, its bright atmosphere nearly blinding Samus. She turned to her right and pressed a yellow button, which closed blast shield over the gunship's windshield. She pressed a dial on the ceiling of the gunship, and typed in a random channel. She liked to do this for fun.
"This is SPARTAN-087 Kelly of Blue Team, present with Red Team, under the command of SPARTAN-117 and SPARTAN-104 respectively," a female voice came through the radio. "we're broadcasting on an encrypted channel to any nearby UNSC personnel. We're on an unidentified planet, seemingly comprised of forest and jungle. We were previously on the UNSC frigate Baron, but self-destructed as per Cole Protocol, Article 1 when a Covenant Destroyer cornered us. We request extraction as soon as possible. Our coordinates are being sent with this transmission."
This was a strange transmission. What's even stranger was that her ship managed to pick up the transmission, considering it was encrypted. But she quickly remembered the upgrade she installed into it on Aleihs III to allow the ship's computer to do so. She typed in a command to have her ship recover the coordinates. After a few seconds, the ship showed the set of coordinates, and Samus was mortified to see that they came from Norion—the planet she was in orbit around. If she understood the transmission correctly, this "Baron" self-destruct after being endangered by a much more powerful foe. And they were nearby.
She was in danger.
