In Mercy's Hands
Chapter one: Desolate
Samus looked out the window of her galactic federation class gunship. She had just returned from her fight on Phaaze, and felt weary, mostly due to Dark Samus, and that aurora unit. She didn't think she would get much rest best before her next mission, and, not to her astonishment, she was right.
The planet XL-4/7 was a small icy planet, far from Federation space, but only on the edge of pirate controlled territory. Recent reports had shown that the pirates been very interested on this area. This planet was where they held base. Her mission was to go in, and interrogate the pirate's. She knew they wouldn't give her any answers. Afterall, the pirates were a stubborn kind, who could stare death in the face, and spit in its eye.
Her ship, now nearing the planets stratosphere, began to descend, gravity taking hold. The planet's gravity was weaker than that of what most planets had, likely about one-third that of Earth, but her suit would help keep her on the surface. She noticed that there was little resistance as she began to see that surfce through white clouds. There were many buildings, all red metal. This planet had to be new, or else the green house gases would have turned this place into a barren wasteland, like it did to most other pirate worlds.
She noticed a small port off to the left as she neared the surface. She turned off her thrusters, her ship landing on a small metal landing zone. she noticed no one aroud, and began to wonder where all thepirates were. For them to have left this place unprotected... it was unheard of among them.
She noted that she was next to several small buildings, and decided to investigate, turning on her thermal imager, just in case this was some sort of trap. She closed in on one of the buildings, not seeing any heat signatures, though there were some security droids. Well, they didn't keep this place entirely unportected. Samus opened the door with a single power beam. She slowly walked in, aiming at the security droids, who began to fire their own plasma haphazardly. The shots were missing Samus, and she wasn't going to give them the chance to hit her. She fired several wave beam shots, hitting each of the droids, knocking them back into the steel walls. The droids were easily dispatched. She looked around the room, now getting a better view of the room. There were several Pirate computers, looking like monitors on poles, each with touch screens.
Samus turned on her scanner, scanning each computer. There were several classified files, though she could easily bypass the security with a little amateur hacking. She first went for the less important, yet not classified, documents. she read several files, each talking about their plunders, their recent achievents, some documents about Dark Samus and how she had taken control of several high ranked Space pirates. She then went on to the classified files. They each needed a twent-two letter password. Considering the number of letters need, she decided to go with 'Hail space pirate command.' She got it right. Typical pirates. She thought as she read the document.
Atention all Space Pirates of XL-4/7,
Recently, we had discovered an ancient ring of sorts. We are going to send several pirate reserch teams to investigate, and we will also send several teams of support, in case that bothersome huntress arrives, or if something on the ring proves to be dangerous.
On another note, make sure what we found on XL-4/7 does not escape. It may prove to be useful. If it does escape, make sure that there are several security droids, and at least a squadron of pirates at the ready. There was something on this planet, then? Samus turned off her scanner,not needing to read much more. So, they've left the planet for some ring? And something is on this planet. A prisoner, perhaps...
She looked back at the door she came from. It was the only exit from this room. She exited, looking for the other the other buildings. She headed towards, a tall, building. She opened the door, looking inside, being cautious as she held up her arm cannon. There were more battle droids, though these were badly burnt up by plasma. Samus scanned thenm, seeing that they had definetly been destroyed by pirate tech. Why would the pirates attack their own droids?
She sighed, she could barely see anything in the dimly lit room, so she turned on her X-ray visor. There were several large tubes, filled with creatures from various planets. None were out of the ordinary. The room was semi-circular in shape, and not that large, a door clearly visible on the other side of the room. The huntress made her way across the room with no problems, only stopping as she neared the door. If there were pirates in this building, somewhere, then she needed to be on her toes. She put the side of her helmet to the door, hearing several bursts of energy. She knew that sound. Piratres. At least five, and all armed. She quickly fired at the door, then entering the room, saw several droids, and pirates, all firing ateach other. The droids seemed to outnumber the pirates, and were winning.
As plasma shot around the room, uncontrolled, Samus ducked behind a large, cylindrical object, likely machinery, and went into morph ball mode. She, then, rolled out into the middle of the battle, the pirates, paying little heed as to the small orange ball, just kept firing at the machines. Samus dropped a powe bomb, rolling away to safety. The pirates looked down, one paying the price as plasma smashed into its chest, melting its armor, and burning it to death, seeing the bomb. The instantly understood what the ball was, each trying to jump out of the way. They all failed as the bomb exploded, the blast obliterating the pirates and the droids. Samus exited hermorph ball as she saw the battle being over.
