Prologue:
In times of peace, there is bound to be a bump once in a while, a small, insignificant event that may end up starting an all-out war. In times like these, the Galactic Federation covers then up by sending their troops to work within the law to catch these hiccups before they escalate. However, sometimes there are situations which the law cannot possibly handle. Like, for instance, a fugitive from a solar system that is not within the GF's duristiction, and therefore cannot be legally arrested by them. Of course, this is a rare occurrence, but one that does certainly happen. In times like these, the Federation sends mercenaries to take care of the problem. In this particular instance, they believed that the most appropriate candidate for the job was Samus Aran, one that had helped the group out several times in the past. However, as was to be expected at this point, she had recently lost her most powerful abilities, and for this reason, the GF thought it was necessary for her to have backup. The hunter would be accompanied by a mercenary from the fugitives own system, one that knows him personally. This new partner was known as Fox McCloud of the Lylat System. The fugitive was Wolf O'Donnell. This is the story of how two mercenaries worked to eliminate a third before he could spark a devastating conflict.
