The Deepest Depths

Chapter 1

Flickering lights on the ceilings. Grizzly crowds with a glare in their face. This was the Central Norion Bar, but known as "The Bounty Hunter HQ". Named because this is where Bounty Hunters come to get their bounties. Samus Aran was sitting in a stool in the back corner keeping a careful eye on the others, honing in on their conversations with her helmet's sound amplifiers.

Suddenly she heard her named mentioned. "Yes,yes I'm very good hunter better than Samus, not a Federation puppet for sure." said a Kriken from it's disembodied crimson head floating from it's skeletal body with long sharp protrusions from it's shoulders and it's lance like arms. Samus jumped from her seat and the clinks of her heavy armor resounded from the floor. "What did you say?" Samus said with a metallic rasp in her voice. "I say you a Federation Puppet! No good for no ?" said the Kriken, amused. Samus rammed her heavy armored fist into the Kriken's face. Unfortunately it merged with the surrounding environment and became invisible, and Samus hit the stool instead. Unsurprisingly, the stool broke into many pieces.

"I escaped Yes?" said the Kriken mockingly. "I better than-" and he was cut off as Samus had been following it's voice and has kicked in it's chest where it was crouched. It appeared again with pieces of it's left arm and torso laying on the floor. It hastily picked them up with his right arm and vacated the bar.

There was a yellow cloaked man with one large eye and silver pincers for hands. "Maybe you could help then?" it said with a buzz from it's throat. "How much Federation Credits are we talking?" Samus said taking a seat in the destroyed stool across from the strange yellow cloaked cyclops. "Um..I'm sure we can discuss money later with you but our planet needs help! The Federation won't help and all they did was quarantine our planet and I don't now what we are going to do...." Samus pondered it then said "Tell me the details on the way, this sound's promising." The cyclops looked overjoyed and they exited the bar.
