Ing's light
SPACE PIRATE MESSAGE ENCODES: 1753729
We have escaped Aether and the Dark hunter. We managed to capture several ing. Experiments due to begin in 0200 hours.
SPACE PIRATE MESSAGE ENCODES: 1753730
after our first day of experiments with ing, We have discovered that their DNA can be manipulated very easily. Already we have begun to unravel the mysteries of the ing.
SPACE PIRATE MESSAGE ENCODES: 1753731
We have done it! We have created several new breeds of ing. Most scanners could detect a parasite form we plan to make. We will create more loyal and more deadly breeds of ing warrior.
Although, we have created a light world counter-part to the ing. It has enough original genes to survive in both worlds. I will release More information at a later time.
Light ING
When the young ing first opened its eyes, it knew something was wrong. It saw the other ing and moved towards them slowly, expecting acceptance. They all hissed menacingly at his approach.
"GO!" they all said as one, "you are not an ing, you will never be an ing; we are sickened to have you near us.."
Whether the ing knew it or not, all the space pirates heard was shrieking and hissing. Not that
The ing really cared. The pirates could see that their new breed was in harms way, though, and they moved him to a different, single, holding cell. To you, this may seem like compassion, but
They just didn't want their new breed dead.
When our ing first awoke in its new cell, it wondered what had happened to the others. He didn't like them much so he really didn't care .He realized that the chamber was the same size, so either he had been moved or they had. He knew that he was a captive of some other species, but as long as they didn't hurt him, he was content. He looked around and saw a mirror. He jumped a little at his appearance and wondered what had happened to him. He saw that he was indeed very different from his fellow ing. Instead of the dark, purplish skin of his fellows, he had a bright white glow, almost as bright as the sun (it wouldn't blind you but it would be irritating). Instead of a red eye, his entire eye was a deep blue. Instead of the dreadlock-like tentacles, he had two blue plates on his back. He wondered if he was an ing at all. He was so overwhelmed that he fainted.
Samus
A very long way away, Samus was receiving a report of space pirate activity on the planet Knit. The reports noted that they were experimenting with dark creatures. Common sense told her that they had captured ing somehow. She had a mental image of the first ing she had fought. A shiver went down her spine. This was going to be ugly. Steeling herself, she locked the coordinates.
Many months later, as is the time it took to get there, Samus arrived. And lo and behold there was a space pirate station. Landing at the empty docking bay was easy enough. She climbed out and looked around. As usual, there was no one around. Pirates didn't exactly like space suits. But for some reason, she would have preferred if there were some of them "outside". Oh well. She climbed into the airlock of the station. Inside she thought. What could they be up to? . Turning the corner, she saw a large purple viewing window. OMG, OMG, OMG! Was all she could think of. On the other side were seven good-sized ing. She scanned the panel wondering how they could survive in the light world. Aha! It was Dark matter. She thought. She turned off the dark matter generator and left them to die. She felt no compassion for these creatures that would kill her anyway. The ing began to shriek and hiss with pain. Several of them began to but the plexi-glass barrier. She left before it broke, as it was already starting to crack. As the door sealed behind her she knew that it wouldn't hold the ing back forever. She saw several empty chambers along the way down the corridor, and one that wasn't empty. In fact it contained our light ing friend.
Light Ing
Our ing friend had awoken several hours earlier, and so had seen the catastrophe that had befallen the space pirates. As a few walked by his cell, he saw that the parasite ing specimens they had been carrying infected them both, turning them all to their evil counter-parts. These more powerful pirates went insane and killed all of the crew. The pirates, though, had not worked out the kinks in the DNA sequence of the parasites. Because of that, they couldn't survive very long in the light world. So the infected ones died. While this was happening, our friendly ing was trying to figure out a way of escape. Hours later he still couldn't think of one when he heard footsteps approaching. They weren't like the thud-click, thud-click of his captors. They were loud clicks of metal on metal. Approaching the cell, was the "hunter" his captors had spoken about.
Samus
Samus heard an inquisitive hiss to her right turned sharply toward the sound, charging her power beam. In a cage was our little ing. As soon as she saw it, she heard it give a squeak of terror and it crouched defensively. Curious, she scanned it and gasped aloud at the words on her visor.
UNKNOWN BIOFORM. DNA RESEMBLENCE TO ING.CAN SURVIVE IN BOTH DIMENSIONS.
IS NOT HOSTILE TO LIGHT WORLD INHABITANTS. POSSIBLE REASONS FOR EXISTANCE:
INTERDIMENSIONAL BREEDING (UNLIKELY (2 CHANCE)) GENETIC ENGINERING (LIKELY 92 CHANCE). MUTATION IN NATURE (UNLIKELY (6 CHANCE)
Samus let the charged shot dissipate. She studied the creature for a few seconds, noticing all of its features. Sighing, she opened the cage and entered.
Light Ing
As soon as the ing heard the shot dissipate it realized it was no longer in danger. It cautiously got up from its crouch (difficult if you have five legs). He heard the door open and cocked his head when the Hunter entered. He regarded her through his eye. She stepped out of the way of the door as if to say, "Alright get out of here." He tried to connect with her mind and after many seconds succeeded.
Do not be afraid, . The hunter gave a start of surprise and opened the speakers on her helmet.
"Greetings uh…ing thing… I wish you no harm either… I guess…"
I would speak to you, but you would only hear the speech of my "brethren"… Which from the structure of your mind, you would not like to hear.
"Yeah, I wouldn't like to hear that. Why do you greet me as a friend? I have killed many ing."
But did any ing you killed look like me?
" No. I guess we aren't enemies, so come on out of here, there is room in my ship."
Well, I don't want to stay here that's for sure.
"Why is that?"
Because at any second, a huge mutant ing will bust through those doors.
" There are more experiments?"
Yes, five. Me, the parasite, those are dead by the way, the Ing you killed, a flying ing and an ing with a huge tail that could make a good dent In your suit.
"Ah. That's why. Well-"at this point Samus was interrupted by the door at the end of the corridor blew open, revealing the large scorpion-like ing behind it. All Samus could say was "Ah crap."
Samus
After saying that last sentiment, she realized that it would take half a minute for something that large to fit through.
Quickly, how good is your aim?
"The best"
Good, do you trust me?
"Uh, I guess. Why?"
Because I have an idea.
He turned into an ameba like puddle and slithered into her arm cannon.
"Whoa! We just met!"J
Haha. Hilarious. Aim at his eye. She aimed briefly and fired with spectacular results. The ing shot out at an amazing speed. She noticed that she had shot a blob with a razor sharp leg at the big one's eye! There was a shriek that could pierce your eardrums. Instead of blood, a gooey purple substance exploded from the wound. In a few seconds, she saw her light world friend coming.
We should leave. he said simply.
"Ditto."
They ran to the ship and got in (our ing friend had a little trouble due to his size, but he fit).
We should go to the planet
"What! Why?"
I heard them talk about something called metroids. They were somehow connected to the planet.
"Right. We better go." She steered the ship towards the planet and prepared to land.
Hunter?
"Call me Samus. "
Thanks
"Welcome, I guess. "She felt odd at this statement, as she never thought an ing would thank her. "To Knit. "
Thank to anyone who read this far. Please review! If I suck, tell me what to improve on. If I get enough good reviews, I'll write another chapter. (Spoiler! Samus gets a cool new suit!)
