In an unknown realm, above a tower, a creature is making a call through a warp gate device. The scenery is filled with toxic air, purple sky, and black pools crawling here and there. Above were clouds forming around above the tower, making purple, tinged thunderstorms. The creature operating the device looks like a metallic, humanoid peacock with purple, glowing wings sprouting on it's back. It pressed certain buttons on the left side of the panel and the warp gate flashed open. The black pools materialized to became destructive demons known as Ing. The creature is surprised and turned around. It's wings glow and shot the Ings while guarding the warp gate…
The Chozo temple in Tallon IV had been peaceful after the defeat of Metroid Prime, but a twisted, giant ship came into view in the horizon. Soon it landed near the Temple and a new breed of Space Pirates came storming out through the entrance. They're appearances look like have that of humanoid lobsters, but brown in color and carried laser pistols…
Two other figures watched over the ship. One tall with a jacket like suit with a big, cannon-like gun, and the other seems to be a small animal. They headed down to the ship and they were outnumbered 50 to 2. No wonder what happens next through the blackness…
In the ship, there is a hallway that heads to a giant lab, with tubes that had successful and failed experiments. It is very gloomy, way too gloomy for a lonely person to be in. Until the sirens screeched. The two unlikely warriors hadn't seen anywhere since they battled at the entry. A different breed pf Space Pirates ran along in the hallways, carrying a cartridge of Phazon. This Space Pirate has a form that it's so dull, that it's frightening. It has dull, rotten teeth unlike the others' mandibles. It doesn't have any crab-like claws either, but dull, study fingers like an obese person. Its eyes are like blue fire, the same fiery eyes that the Ing has and the 3rd eye on the forehead that matches the Ing features. By the way it looks, it is a hybrid along the others, looking like a living mummy with tentacle-like hair and a bad temper. Behind it, lasers shot at the deformed Pirate. It kept running until it was hidden from another armored figure and a cat-like creature with large ears and is standing upright armed with double-laser pistols. "Take that! You good for nothin' poacher!" The cat called out. They came into the lab area and looked around to find something or someone, the lab is as huge as a football field with of what it seems like over 100 failed and successful experiments in large, cylinder hyperbolic-glass chambers. The armored one heard a certain human cry over beyond the hallway. "Over here Sesaka!" The armor one called. Yes, Sesaka the Lyrval is here on the mission. Why? Well after being abused mentally and physically by them mean Space Pirates, the armored one rescued her from those demons. That rescuer is Samus. Sesaka is still recovering and pace is right around the corner once she's out of the tainted planet of the Space Pirate, still having bad dreams about the horrid place. "It's over at the main room! Hurry!" Samus said as she and Sesaka rushed to the main room. But no one's here. Samus had put on the heat-tracking visor on with only one wave of two fingers. A couple of footsteps are seen in a faint orange. It means they're near. The footprints lead to outside, just out of the entrance and into a massive jungle. They followed the tracks until it lead to a wreck site of the ship nearby. "Here it is. The wrecked ship of the captain. The footprints of the captain lead inside. Right now, there's no time to lose." As Sesaka followed Samus, the young cat thought of how the captain seems familiar to her. Their voices are the most familiar as their appearance, but she'll find out whom.
Meanwhile, At the Chozo Temple, the Space Pirate Commando and the Pirate hybrids made their way to the Sun chamber, where Flaahgra was defeated long ago. "Sir! I found something!" One of the hybrids said to the Commando. "Yes, bring it here." The Commando called to his comrades. The deformed pirate took out a seed, about as big as an ostrich egg, from a giant flower and brought it over at the commando. The leader Space Pirate had a more different armor than the rest. It is not brown, but black and yellow. The yellow parts shone like polished metal in the sunlight, almost like gold. "Good…we need this to complete our plan to destroy the Chozos and any other ancient spirits that stand in our way! Even the Hunter won't stand a chance." "Yes, but how are you going to manage that?" "Silence!" Called out the Commando. "I have more then just this measly seed. I have tanks of Phazon that I can inject into my experiments so they be so powerful, that they won't have those flaws like before." The Hybrid ran to the sun chamber where the group is, with laser burns in its armor. It stopped and breathed do hard, that it fell to its knees before the Leader. "What's this?" The Leader demanded. The Hybrid came up to its feet. "The Hunter is here, and she's not alone, sir." This is unusual, but the Hybrid sounded like a female. "We're not ready yet. Not until we get more Phazon, Unit-663, out upcoming plan will be ready to execute within several Cycles." The brute of a leader signaled the groups' guards. "Call reinforcements! Send in the troops everywhere, including the wrecked ship!" The other Space Pirates obeyed the command and fled out of the chamber. "What about you, leader?" Unit 663 asked. The Leader turned around, and held 663's zombie-like hand. "If they fail, I will go and stop them."
The Captain's ship looks small from the outside, but when the two came inside the wrecked ship, it's very huge. They still follow the footprints in which it leads to the cockpit. There, familiar shapes are at the right of the huge cockpit, trying to find something. "Here let me help you, Captain." Samus said, as she got closer to the captain. "Thanks. I needed it…" the Captain said as he turned around, revealing a young man in goggle-like visors covering his eyes. He wore a cross between a biker jacket and a space suit. The metal boots similar to Samus's and the chest armor if as similar as well, but silver. Sesaka immediately realized who's the captain right away. "Oh…my gosh! It's you!" the Lyrval said in astonishment. "You're talking to me…?" The Captain looked at Samus and at the little, big-eared cat at the side. Another small creature came from the Captain's shoulder and handed on the dirty ground. "Yeah! You're talking to…holy yakkow pie! I thought they had never came to help due to…them! Space Pirates…they're everywhere!" the little character shivered not due that it's cold here, but the fear of the gruesome Pirates around. "Quiet. They maybe watching us right now." The Captain said. Sesaka grinned and said "Glad to see you two again, Those Space Pirates are so beyond ugly n the outside, but beyond filthy in the inside! Thank goodness that I'm free…is it been along time after I have been kidnapped?" "Well, not actually a long time…maybe less than a couple of years?" The small, character quietly said and shrugged. "Man, it's long…" Samus came along side with the Captain, ready to report the urgent news while the two animals chat. "I had found of what the Space Pirates are up to. The crew isn't actually dead, but assimilated into hybrids. They managed to use Ing DNA and Space Pirate DNA and inject them into the bloodstream of the human crew to make a hostile, new groups of Space Pirates to their collection." Samus had said to the Captain as he pulled out a small container of green energy from the cockpit shelf he's been facing. "So that's why I haven't heard from them in awhile. 5 days until I found out why the Space Pirates have brought us here." The Captain lowered his head with a hint of guilt for his comrades as he heals his wounds with the green substance from the container. "Then prepare for more." Samus nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready for them now. "Suddenly, missiles can be heard, smashing through debris of the hallways as 10 or more Space Pirates came from every entrance to the cockpit. They aim at the Captain, the Hunter, and the two, talking animals. "Take cover!" the Captain said as the Hybrids and Pirate alike shoot from every direction. Samus and Sesaka drew their weapons and fire. The other small animal hoped to the Captain's shoulder as the Captain lunged out at the Pirates and did a spin kick. "Here we go again, facing these morons, now I'm ready! Bring it on!" the small animal said. The Hybrid lunged at the Captain and made a terrible, growl noise. The animal starts shivering again. "Ugh…I guess not, "said the animal, shivering in fear again as the Captain flew an uppercut at the Hybrid Pirate. Sesaka managed to hit one in the arm, making the gun beam fell out of its dull hands. "Serves you right!" Sesaka shouted through the fire and ran. Samus fired her charged Power Beam at several Space Pirates near the exit, clearing the way for the others and the Captain to go through while the Pirates struggle to get back on their feet. While the heroes dodged every line of fire and near the exit in the twisted hallway, a faint shot can be heard as a needle shot though the hole on the wall and into the Captain's neck." Ugh,..I got hit…they won't get away with this!" His voice trailed away as the ambusher quickly dragged the Captain, but before he and the ambush Pirate met the deep shadows. The other Space Pirates caught the small animal by the throat. "Let me go or I'll give you a big-' the little creature fell silent as he got injected with the same thing as the Captain. Sesaka stopped and jaw dropped while saw the human figure of the Captain slowly changed. Horns slowly sprouted out of the head and claws impaled the tips of the fingers. And then he went limp like he's been aimed at with a tranquilizer, beast-like features fade away back into human as the Space Pirate dragged him to the shadows. "Hurry up before they get you next!" Samus called out from the exit and Sesaka shook herself out of it and ran to the exit. "OMG I'm so knowing you know, 'Captain'…
While entering the underground section of the Chozo Temple, their hideout for now on, Sesaka explained of what happened. "I knew him! The Captain you were talking to looks so familiar to me and now I know who he is! They're Jak and Dax!" Sesaka covered her paws with her mouth in excitement. "And they need our help." Samus began to talk about the plan. "They had might injected them with the Hybrid DNA, maybe or maybe not. But we'll go in the Space Pirate ship without being noticed by them. We'll find a cure by unlocking a log from sickbay at the Laboratory level. If we don't it will be too late for them….
