Hey people, this is NintendoFan921. This is my first story, hope you enjoy it, and please review! Thank you.

I do not own Metroid, its characters, or its main storyline. I only own Tar'kun and this particular storyline

As ship drifted into the atmosphere, Tar'kun went to the Nav computer and began to determine his landing point. The Phrygisian smiled to himself. I'll make it there first, he mused to himself.

"In your dreams." Said a low, amused voice

"What the h-!" Tar'kun shouted as he jumped up and whirled his ice cannon in the direction of the voice.

"Peace," said the voice, cutting him off," It's only me."

Tar'kun looked at the video screen and saw the laughing figure of Rundas upon the screen. He than swore loudly in Phrygisian at Rundas. This only made him laugh even harder. "I've already landed, Tar'kun, meet me at the coordinates 37, 91, 18. Samus and Ghor are already here. Ghandrayda and you are late," his face suddenly turned serious," Bring your most powerful armor. The Space Pirates have been busy."

"Fine." Tar'kun replied savagely

He punched in the coordinates so angrily; he cracked a few of the console buttons

The surface of Abian IV was a pleasant, valley filled planet with a few forests. However, Tar'kun could tell something was wrong when he saw large blue spots of Phazon in a large valley. He could also see Pirate Troopships and Anti-Air cannons.

"Dang… This is going to be hard."

Soon after landing, Tar'kun found a small clearing where Samus, Rundas, and Ghor were standing. He hastened to join them, but stopped when he saw his own hulking figure already standing there. "What the f-?" He began

"It's just Ghandrayda." Ghor said, cutting him off.

"Oh, okay." Tar'kun said back, calming down.

Ghandrayda morphed back into her regular self and giggled girlishly," That's so much fun! Your reactions were hilarious!"

"That makes one of us." The other hunters muttered darkly.

"So, let's get started." Samus said, taking off her helmet and placing it on the ground. She then pressed a small button on the side causing the helmet to make a projection of the Space Pirate compound. "We are here," pointing to a cluster,"We found a tunnel a little ways back that leads to the front of the base."

Samus continued to indicate certain strong points and groups of hostiles. While the rest of the hunters focused upon the screen, Tar'kun noticed Rundas was watching Samus' uncovered face out of the corners of his eyes. Tar'kun elbowed him, hard, in the ribs. "Pay attention." He said, half amused, half serious.

"Oh, right. Sorry." Rundas whispered back dazedly. He turned towards the screen, but Tar'kun noticed him glance back several times.

"Okay," Samus finished the plan and replaced her helmet upon her head. "We need to break into groups. Ghor and Tar'kun take your ship and get the attention of the AA guns. Me, Ghandrayda, and Rundas will take them out as soon as we can. After that, land up at the front and regroup to take out the rest of the infantry if there is any. Then we'll plan as we go along. Got it?" she finished.

"Yep, c'mon Ghor, we'll take my ship. "Tar'kun turned and walked excitedly back to his ship with Ghor.

"I'll bring my heavy suit and attach it to the back of your ship. It'll work as a rear cannon." Ghor said, matter-o-factly

"Good idea." Tar'kun replied, agreeably.

It took maybe five minutes to warm up the engines, suit up, and attach the heavy suit to the ship. Ghor then got into the suit and Tar'kun switched their personal radios to the same channel and got into the cockpit and prepped for takeoff. "Ready?" he said into the ear-comm.

"Yes." Ghor's voice crackled back.

"Okay, then. Let's take out that base!"

The ship lifted off towards the Pirate base at amazing speeds. The moment the Pirates saw the bluebell ship, both AA guns turned towards the ship and fired. Tar'kun easily evaded the first few blasts, but one caught him off guard and the ship rocked violently.

"Watch it!" Ghor's angry voice sounded," Did your mom teach you how to fly?"

"Leave my mom out of this! And it's not my fricking fault!" Tar'kun yelled back, just as angrily," You're supposed to be covering our six!"

"Just keep flying!"

Tar'kun activated the auxiliary shields and flew so low to the ground that the low grass touched the ship. Space Pirates shrieked and jumped out of the way, but a few unlucky ones smacked right into the windshield, spattering it with acid-green blood. Tar'kun then pulled upwards, hard, and heard Ghor's heavy cannon firing at the AA's. Soon, the sounds of explosives were heard.

"YEAH!" Ghor cried triumphantly.

Tar'kun was just about to call in to the others when half of the ship exploded. As Tar'kun struggled to control the plummeting ship, Ghor detached the suit from the craft and jumped. He then swerved around, shooting a grapple lasso onto the windshield. It snapped clean off and fell to the earth. Tar'kun knew what he had to do. He grabbed his helmet of the console and tackled through the open hole. He then adjusted to the sensation of falling and twisted his body into a clean dive.

Ghor thought Tar'kun was extremely lucky, perhaps because a few moments after he dived through the window, the remaining fuselage engulfed itself in blue flames. Upon this thought, he flew up using his hover pack and grabbed Tar'kun in midair.

"Thanks." Tar'kun said as he and Ghor landed. Ghor nodded his assent. When the fireball crashed and Tar'kun shot ice fro his hands to extinguish it, the two walked to the others, who were standing before a large, bendezium door.

"Could've taken the AA's out any sooner?" Ghor asked, aggressively," That last one nearly killed us!"

"Shut up, Rustbucket," Ghandrayda replied, sneering," You're alive, aren't you?

"You wanna go?" Ghor shouted, pointing his plasma cannon at her.

"Bring it on!" Ghandrayda yelled back, also pointing her rifle.

"STOP IT!" Samus intervened, standing between them," We need to focus the mission!"

Ghor and Ghandrayda lowered they're weapons and murmured words of apology.

"Now, if we are done fighting," she glanced at Ghor and Ghandrayda,"We need to get through this wall. I want Tar'kun and Rundas to freeze it, and then Ghor and I will blast it with rockets. Ghandrayda, any large creature that comes to mind, morph into it and make a path through the Pirates."

"Got it." Everyone else murmured.

The two Phrygisians then stepped forward and froze the door as directed. Then Ghor and Samus stepped forward and ravaged it with rockets. The wall the fell and shattered upon impact.

Ghandrayda was just about to transform when the hunters noticed that there weren't any Pirates to be seen. The first room of the base was devoid of them. "What the hell?" Rundas said in a quiet voice.

The hunters surged inside, but still, nothing attacked them. As they continued through the base, their apprehension grew intensely until they found the door to the Phazon Processing Room.

"Okay," Samus began," When we get in there, all Hell's gonna break loose. No doubt there are Elite Pirates in there. Son, no one do anything stupid." She then turned and hacked the door's passcode.

On the other side of the doors were three Elites and a hulking figure, clad in military green armor, an orange visor, and a large, scarlet plume atop the helmet.

"WEAVEL!" Samus shouted, completely shocked.

Weavel turned and stared at the five, then began laughing. It was high and sounded as if it were coming from a radio.

"The Hunter and the Pack. Samus, Ghor, Ghandrayda, and Rundas," he bowed mockingly to each as he said their names," But alas, who is this one?" he asked, looking at Tar'kun.

"Tar'kun." He replied back, doing a mock bow in return to Weavel's.

"Tar'kun?" Weavel mused," Well, I suppose I will have to remember you from now on."

"Here," Tar'kun said, pulling a cruel blade from his armor," Let me make it a more permanent memory."

And, ignoring the cries of protest from the others, Tar'kun leaped over the railing and sprinted towards Weavel, ready to strike. But in a whirl of green and blue, Tar'kun was on his knees, Weavel holding an energy blade at his throat, laughing maniacally.

"Feisty one aren't you?" he pushed the sword harder into Tar'kun's throat, beads of bluebell blood appearing upon his neck. "It really does pain me that our time together was so very short." He laughed harder then ever, raising the sword to deliver the killing blow. "Bye, by-aackk!"

An orange beam of plasma sliced into Weavel's hand, burning it clean off and causing him to drop Tar'kun. Tar'kun fell heavily to the ground, his neck bleeding freely. As he gazed blearily around him, beginning to black out, he saw the other Hunters giving pursuit to the fleeing Weavel and his Pirate cronies. However, Rundas stopped at Tar'kun and picked him up. "I'll take the idiot to Samus's ship!" he yelled at them, and, on that note, Tar'kun fell into unconsciousness.
