Wretched and burning metal lay strewn across the ground. Husks of iron lay smouldering, like burnt animal carcasses. Ravens were beginning to circle around the crash area, further comparing the incident to burning carrion. The young prince threw aside large sections steel sheeting, looking for his comrade, in the hope he had not fallen.

The winds siezed the tail of Roy's cloak, causing it to dance and flit in the air. The metal under his feet felt cold and stiff, screeching and thudding with his every step. He clutched tighter to his blade, knowing that it could very well be blown away during this battle, and he did not want that to happen.

Across the vast area of scrap metal, stood the renowned bounty hunter Samus Aran. She stood as solid as stone, the wind powerless to do anything against her. He arms were folded, and her head tilted forward at a dissaproving angle. This angered Roy. He hadn't even begun to fight the woman yet, and she was already looking at him as if he'd lost.

Earlier on, Fox and Roy had planned to go on a mission to the caves of Venom in the Lylat system, so that they could find some form fabled power device. The device was known as Toovu-Plui, and it was said that the machine could generate huge amounts of power. Within the confines of it's data banks, there also lay the instructions on how the user of the Toovu-Plui could create huge fleets of mighty ships from scratch. God-like power.

The two had expected their mission to be uneventful. However, Samus had been able to track the Starfox down as the ship headed towards Venom. She had used her own ship to hunt them down, and using a surprise attack method along with her ION cannons, she had blasted the Starfox's hull, and knocked out it's control system and retro engines.

This had sent it cartwheeling out of the air. It had been burnt horribly by Venom's atmposphere, and the planet's gravity had pulled them into a death-dive towards the surface. Samus hoped that the Starfox would be unable to withstand such a terrible disaster, and of course, it hadn't. However, she had seen some form of life down on the planet and she sped on downwards herself.

Now, she had landed, and Roy scowled at her, infuriated. He was weak and injured, and a terrible bloody scar adorned his left cheek. His sword arm was in poor condition, and every bit of his body was in pain.
