Chapter 1 - Unwanted Reunion

"Samus Aran, your mission is complete. Head back to the Galactic Federation immediately."

The Alimbic Cluster is saved. The evil known as Gorea, whoch had wiped out the whole Alimbic Order, had been defeated. The "Ultimate Power," the Omega Cannon has been put in a safe in Samus's ship. Samus was just heading back to Federation to recieve her next mission, and to rest. Until...

"You dare try to interfere with my plan of obtaining the Ultimate power for the Kriken Empire!"

Trace, a spider-like Kriken, was directly behind Samus, tracking her down. Then, a barrage of deadly Imperialist lasers!

"Is that... Trace? His ship has built-in Imperialist cannons!"

But, Trace wasn't the only one there. Pretty soon there were six ships behind Samus!

"Of all the times for my ship's weapons to be in Federation for repairs! Attention Federation. I am under attack by the six others who were after Omega Cannon and Gorea. I may not make it back. Send backup immediately."

"Where are you?" asked one of the operatives at the Federation.

"Alimbic Cluster Outskirts, close to the Celestial Archives. Heading towards Base."

"Affirmative."

"Activate autopilot, Galactic Federation," Samus commanded the ship.

Samus soon ran to the safe, and grabbed the Omega Cannon, and climbed through the ship's hatch.

"I could get killed for this, but I have no choice."

With one well-aimed shot, the Omega Cannon fired and hit Kanden's ship directly on the nose. from there, the blast caused all seven bounty hunters to lose control of their ships. Samus tried to get back into the ship, but the hatch was unoperational!

"The captains always go down with their ships."

And Samus Aran stood there, staring into the distance, knowing she was about to die. But, off in the distance, in the Alimbic Cluster...

"Meteor shower? But... nothing like that can ever happen in the Alimbic Cluster. But, what are they? Wait a second..."

But, the other hunters gained control of their ships, but they weren't shooting at Samus. They were looking in the same direction. But, little did they realize that another ship, and a giant one at that, was coming towards all seven of them.

"Oh... My... God... Those aren't asteroids..." Samus said in shock.

Then, while they were all staring, they were being sucked into the giant ship behind them!
