Dark Hunters- Chapter 1

approaching surface of Tallon IV

Ghost looked out of the window of his sleek cruiser. The red surface of Tallon IV was perfectly in view.

'Metroid Prime,' he thought. A creature with powers and potential beyond imagination. He could add it to his collection. That is, if it wasn't destroyed by the Hunter first.

"I know she is tracking it down," Ghost whispered. "I just have to find it before she does."

"Even better," Ghost said louder. His black cruiser was beginning to go faster, and even start to fall as the gravity of Tallon IV kicked in.

"This'll be a real blast," Ghost said, emerging from his landed cruiser.

-Pirate Frigate-

EVACUATE IMMEDIATLEY. SEVEN MINIUTES UNTIL SELF DESTRUCT

Samus viewed the blaring red message on her visor. The parasite queen, when destroyed, had caused an explosion so huge that the entire ship was about to blow up. She started to run, past space pirates, perimeter defense turrets, and parasites. The came to a room full of pirates, and she knew she was outnumbered.

Samus was about to give in when an explosion wiped out all of the pirates, leaving her a clear escape through the air vents.

THREE MINUTES REMAINING

When Samus exited the vents, a large explosion blew half of the ceiling off. Mecha-Ridley swooped down, and escaped through the floor. Samus used her grapple beam to get across the gap in the floor, and continued towards her ship. She was almost there, when a huge explosion blew apart her Varia Suit, leaving her practically defenseless. She ran to her ship, and not a moment to late, it took off just as the frigate blew apart.

Samus flew her ship directly behind Mecha-Ridley, down to the surface of Tallon IV.

-Ghost Cruiser Impact Site-

Ghost walked onto the surface of Tallon IV. He looked down into the pools of Phazon on the rocky surface. He grinned, and said; "This is the spot. Yup."
