Icey: I'm crippled yet here I am, typing away for my not so loyal reviewers. You know who you are, if not you may have amnesia and if so you should do as TV has taught me to do in this circumstance and run head first into a wall(don't actually do that that would be beyond retarded).
Ch 2: Broken Design
I had gathered all of my Officers with me to begin the attack on Earth. Kraid, Phantoon, Omega Pirate, Weavel etc. We were currently right over Earth, my job was to fly in and attack the most important places while Phantoon and the others helped get Kraid down there to just cause chaos and confusion among the humans.
I slammed into the ground in front of the Federations capital on Earth, destroying houses by the dozens as I slid to a stop. I shot fireballs all over the place, knocked over buildings with my tail, and relished the sound of their screams. Kraid was about halfway to the planet by the time I cut off the top half of the Federations science office with my tail, letting the falling debris do the work of killing their scientists and workers for me.
I noticed Weavel nearby, wrecking havoc with his BattleHammer. The BattleHammer is essentially a small nuke in gun form. The gun shoots small nuclear explosions that will send anything it comes in contact with flying while also giving them a massive overdose of radiation along with a normal explosions effect.
Weavel was quite adapt with the BattleHammer, not only was he an excellent shot with it but we had even intergraded the BattleHammer into the turret that activates when he goes into his Alternate form, letting his top half wonder around and slash people while his legs become a deadly turret.
Hearing a scream I turned my eyes towards the sound to see a young couple nearby, the male holding the shivering female in his arms. Oh this would be fun, as it always was. I lashed out a claw, the intended target being the male, but my claw was thrown out of the way by a projectile I had become very familiar with over the past few years, Missiles.
Samus fired another Super Missile at me, the explosion making me stumble backwards in shock. "Get out of here!" Samus yelled sending a volley of Missiles his way which he easily slammed into the ground with his hand. The man picked up his girlfriend Bridal style and dashed towards someplace safe.
"Lord Ridley!" A Space Pirate said running up my tail to whisper something in my ear.
"What?" I shouted fending all of Samus' attacks off with my tail while having a private conversation with General Sufane. "Are you telling me that we have to retreat?"
"That is correct Lord Ridley." Sufane taking a potshot at Samus to let her know that we were busy. She stopped attacking us and waited for us to finish. "They have a much better defense than we anticipated."
"Grrr." I growled. "Very well then, get everybody else off of the planet. I'll stay behind to stall Samus while you guys escape."
"Yes sir!" Sufane crisscrossing his claws over his chest in the Space Pirate salute. I returned the salute before giving Samus my full attention.
"Alright Samus, let's dance."
She lifted her armcannon up, "Dance with the devil. Sure, why not?" All of a sudden she lowered her armcannon and took several steps to the right. "Sorry Ridley, We'll have to dance another time."
"What do you mea-" I started to say but turned around when I heard a cannon charging. My eyes almost burst from their sockets at the sight. "That's my Design!" I shouted before cursing purple at Samus. "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!" I managed to scream before I was enveloped in a column of blue energy.

I don't know how she did it, but Samus was somehow able to hack into my personal database and steal the designs of a weapon I had been working on. She then had the Federation use it against me.
The cannon wasn't really a weapon, the only thing it did was make a creature larger or smaller depending on what option you were using. I had been caught in the blast and as a result was now only six feet tall, the height of an average adult human.
It was an insult to my pride; they threw my unconscious body into a room and proceeded to study me. ME! I had been in this hellhole for three days, they took blood samples, checked my temputure, asked me about a Space Dragon's anatomy (I just glared at them), and they even had the gall to ask me about my childhood. I ended up telling them the better aspects of my childhood until one of them asked the dreaded question.
"If your childhood was as good as you say then what changed you into what you are today?" In response to this I screamed my trademark screech and proceeded to blast the transparent walls with my deadly fireballs, setting the room ablaze.
The scientists quickly recorded my response to this question in their notebooks before activating the sprinkler system in the ceiling. I screeched in agony as the water fell upon my skin. Water was one of the few things that I was afraid of. The scientists also wrote down this development and turned the water off once the flames were put out.
I was left lying on the ground, tears streaming down my face, my body to week to wipe them away or even get up. Water did to me what acid rain did to others. After that I shut my mind off from the world and refused to answer any questions and reverted to hiding in the corner, my knees up by my face and my tail lying over my feet.
The scientists got very angry at this but I didn't care. I was no longer the feared Space Dragon that leveled buildings and slaughtered thousands of people under the Federations watch. I was now just a little boy with no purpose, a little boy who watched his entire species get filled with bullet holes right in front of him. I was no longer Ridley the Space Dragon. I was now but a shell of my former self. Someone who got lost, and could never got back home. I… was… Broken… I no longer considered myself insane. I no longer saw a reason to live, and I could no longer use my wonderful brain as I once had. I…Was…Broken… My sentience was slowly slipping away, and under my diseased thoughts, all I felt was Rage.

~ 3rd person Pov ~
A scientist walked into Admiral Dane's office. "Sir, Ridley's condition has gotten worse. He no longer is saying the word Soku. All he does now is cry in his corner. I believe that he is sentience, he also won't touch any food we give him."
"And what is your conclusion Dr. Kousi?" Dane said his hand curling into a fist underneath his desk.
Dr. Kousi paled, "S-sir I believe that Ridley no longer sees any purpose in living. I-I believe that he is what you call, Broken."
Dane slammed his fist into the desk, startling Dr. Kousi. "Bring the Space Dragon into my office at once."
"Y-yes sir, right away sir." Dr. Kousi said hurrying out of Dane's office.
~ Ridley's Pov ~
The head Scientist brought me into Dane's office. I just stood there, seeing no point in doing anything.
"Tell me Ridley, do you see what the Families of those you killed see? Do you feel what they feel?" he asked. When I gave no answer he grabbed a water bottle near him and splashed some on me. I leapt back and hissed in pain, letting a tear fall from my left eye. I knew I would be forced into answering so I opened my mouth and said the name of the one I had loved.
"Soku."
The head Scientist was surprised that I talked, but Admiral Dane ignored him and continued to question me. "Tell me, who or what is Soku?" he asked holding the water bottle at the ready.
I raised my eyes to look at him, every emotion I had as a child shown in my eyes. "Soku from past, only Spire's past comparable to mine. Samus' is pathetic, she didn't know her parents, she didn't have friends, and she has never fallen in love. She Can Not compare to me. She is Pathetic." I said my rage taking over me and amplifying my voice with every word I said. Dane noticed this and splashed some water on me, however, this only helped fuel my rage. I lunged at him and was several inches away from killing him when Samus burst through the door and grabbed hold of my neck with her Grapple Beam.
"Admiral, I would like to request taking him with me, he is too dangerous here and whatever you've gotten out of him is all you're going to get." She said barely holding me back from ripping his face open.
"Permission granted." Admiral Dane said.
Those two words resonated deep within my skull, my shock obvious in my face. Once I got control of my own body again I said five words. "Dane, I'm gonna kill you."
