Chapter 1 - WARNING! Incoming...Guardians?
Deep in the vast space of the Web, a humongous, yellow spaceship was found wandering aimlessly with no particular destination. It was patrolling the universe for any signs of danger that would be a threat to the fellow citizens of the Net. The pilot was a female in a red, orange cyber suit with a green visor. She was the bounty hunter, Samus Aran.
So far it'd been very quiet ever since Megabyte was thrown into a portal while being mauled by a Web Creature. They usually hunt for sustenance and travel in enormous packs, protecting their "digital domain," as Ray would call it.
Content, she decided to steer to Mainframe where her best friend, Bob, Guardian 452, was located in. She couldn't wait to see him and his friends again. She reminisced when she first saved his life after he was trapped inside a capsule which was launched by his rival. She was circling the planet as she saw him and immediately used her tractor beam to take him into the haul. The most stunning thing was that he didn't have his keytool, Glitch. So it was up to her to take care of him until he was well enough to meet Enzo, now known as Matrix, and the others. She eventually found some Deformed Sprites who were rebels to the Web Creatures and who were also on exile like him. Although they never spoke any English, she could understand them as they spoke in dial tones. So she recruited them to help her look after Bob, find his comrades, and save the Net.
Just then an alarm brought her out of her reverie. She pressed a button on her dashboard and spoke to the Intercom. "Samus, we've got trouble!" It was a distress call coming from Mainframe and Dot, the commander of the Principle's Office, was calling.
"Oh, hey, Dot. I was just on my way to visit you...What do you mean by trouble?" Samus's face clouded as she heard the news.
"I've sent Matrix and AndrAIa to patrol the System. Unfortunately, we're under attack!"
"By who?!" Samus was shocked at the news. She thought it would be Megabyte again, but, unfortunately, it was nothing she'd expected.
"It's the Guardians! They're heading straight for us! Hurry-!"
Suddenly there was nothing but static, and since her equipment never fails, she was horrified.
"Why are they attacking Mainframe? Who's in charge of all this!"
She shook her head to clear it. "No matter. I won't attack them. I'll just watch them and find out who's making them do what they're doing. Something's not right. I have to go."
Hopeless, she sighed and set a course to Mainframe as fast as the engines would carry her.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter's short, but I'm stirring the pot. The good stuff will happen later.
