Hello people and welcome to my first fanfic! With a LOT of very helpful advise from Dark Lord Link, I think I'll do fine...hopefully. Anyways this is a SamusXLink fic, so I warn you people out there who are not fans if this couple: turn back, if you want.

Well now that that's settled, on with the fic! Enjoy!

Chapter 1. Prologue

Samus, the most feared female bounty hunter across the galaxy, is known for being merciless, brave and bold. Almost a lot of people mistake her for being a robot that causes destruction everywhere or an insane man under the machine. Either that, or the people are more terrified of her than knowing about her sex.

Reason for being cold and merciless? Many.

One of it was a traumatizing childhood, where her parents and colony were killed before her eyes by the notorious space pirates. Nowhere else to go, she was sheltered in and raised by another race: the bird-like beings called Chozos. But due to the ways of the Chozos' life and where they lived, it seemed that Samus couldn't handle the harshness of the terrain. So, in order for her to survive, the Chozo infused their DNA with hers and also gave her an armored suit. Another unhappy experience, was where she was near death trying to destroy another mother brian. However, she was saved by the last remaining metroid that she raised herself; like a mother, perhaps?

Crushed and sad, Samus thought that she would never have hapiness ever again. She would always keep her emotions all bottled up inside her and sometimes she would burst them out.

By bursting out, I mean relentlessly killing thousands of space pirates or criminals without her stopping until satisfied. Her cold and unhappy life changed one day though, one fateful day where Samus was all about her business, when all of a sudden...Poof! She was somehow teleported against her own will. She soon found out that she was teleported and stood in front of a big mansion.

Rather angry, confused and surprised, Samus was ticked off. She was ticked off to where she would steady her arm cannon at the big wooden door in front of her and blast at it until the poor door was made into toothpicks. Without thinking, she ran right in and took in at a fighting stance, prepared for anything that would come her way.

Apperantly, Samus was beyond confused and surprised, the anger slowly slipping away. She dropped her arms and became a stiff statue. For she was looking...at a giant disembodied, white gloved hand!

"Greetings, Samus Aran! Why am I not surprised that you destroyed the door to the mansion?" Boomed the hand. His voice seemed to echo and come from all directions rather from the hand itself.

"Wh-who are you? How do you know my name? And what am I doing here?" Questioned Samus as the anger in her voice started to rise in her last sentence.

The hand chuckled and the mansion itself shook.

"You think this is funny? I was about to collect a huge bounty and next thing I knew, I'm here!" Samus screeched.

"I'm terribly sorry Samus but I-" But the hand was cut off.( I just saw what I did there, Ha!)

"No you weren't! Now I'm going to make you wish that you didn't bring me here!" She shouted as she fired two missiles from her arm cannon.

Almost immediately, the floating hand lifted its pinky, causing the missles to stop in mid-air.

"How'd you?" The surprised bounty hunter whispered. Still angry, she fired seven more missiles but ended up with the same result.

The giant hand set his pinky down and all nine missiles landed in the ground, without them exploding, apparently.

"Are you done yet?" The hand said, in an annoyed voice.

Samus silently lowered her arms, meaning that she was done and ready to listen.

"Good!" The hand said, joyfully. "As you are probably confused, surprised and angry by now," The floating hand stopped and looked at a glaring Samus. "I will inform you in what is your purpose here. You were handpicked to particapate in a grand tournamnent." The hand continued on. "You will be competing along with eleven other prestigious fighters from their universe."

"Hold on." Samus said with a hand up. "You're saying that I was picked to fight in a tournamnent with people from other universes? What do you mean by that? And what if I refuse?"

"Oh but Samus, this is an offer you cannot refuse!" The gloved hand spoke. "You will be all fighting for a huge amount of money."

"Do we have to kill each other?" Samus said as she narrowed her eyes.

"Great heavens no! This is only meant for enjoyment. Win or lose, you will all be paid. Only the winner would be the champion of the best. It's technically a tourney with the best of the best." The hand explained.

"Hmmmm. I guess I can relax here, afterall, I'll get paid and would be temporary living in a mansion!" The bounty hunter thought. "Consider it a deal then!" Samus said.

"Thank you Samus, I'm sure you'll have a great time here."

Samus snorted. "Me? Have a great time? Oh please."

"Oh yes, before I forget!" The hand said with his hand looking like it had an idea. "My name is Master hand by the way, I'm in charge of the whole thing. You will also have to wait, since you're the first competitor here. Make yourself at home and pick your room! Master hand cheerfully said.

"Hold on." Samus said as she remembered something. "What do you mean by universes?"

"In due time," Replied Master hand. "In due time all right."

So, like it, love it or hate it? Reviews are welcome whether good or bad. In my opinion, it seemed rushed and I can use some pointers to improve my structure and how the characters talk( by this I mean the word I use frequently is said).

Till then, WLIB.
