Hey everyone, I decided I'm going to put renewed effort into fan fiction, so I'm already starting a new chapter as of today, 1/6/2019. I have a couple announcements to make.

First, I'm in the process of editing, and will be for the foreseeable future. Writing can always be improved, I've made some minor changes to chapter four, I'm editing the chapters in order, so next I'll edit chapter five. Reread chapter four if you want, it's one of my best chapters. In future edits, I might take more time to flesh out past chapters and not just improve the writing, but add to it. Especially as the plot develops, I'm figuring this out as I go. That's kind of how I do writing, I just go with the flow.

Secondly, I will begin writing a new fanfiction story very soon! I've gotten my first request as I mentioned in my last chapter. I think I will leave that as a surprise for now, but I intend to begin writing it perhaps tomorrow if I feel productive enough. Okay, let's begin chapter eleven!

Usually, I prefer fighting alone. This time, I was glad I had fox around. Fox volunteered to help me seek out Snake. I'm guessing Snake would know where Pit ended up. Fox is one of the best we have, and I doubted that only just slightly more after his confession about the bom-omb. He probably would of won that match anyway. This should be easy, two against one.

Then again, I wasn't in the best condition to fight. The physical damage from the crash wasn't too bad. But the coma-induced nightmare had about the same effect as it did the first time. Maybe not as bad, but I was sweating, and I felt more on edge, more nervous. Plus my previous wound was still healing

"PLAY TIMES OVER!" Wolf taunted, much closer to us now. We had been attacked on our way flying across one particular place in the multiverse. It appeared we had arrived in some sort of desert. The air felt dry and hot, kind of reminded me of the laundry room back in the manor. I hate that feeling, always makes my hair all static-y, and itchy. Bleh. However, the air here was a bit drier and hotter. It was early evening, the sun had set not long before.

"Well, if that was play time, this ain't gonna be fun." I muttered. I patched up my armor the best I could, However I hadn't the time to replace the actual electrical components in the area that the suit had been damaged, so some of the suit's functionality had been lost.

Wolf emerged from behind a hill and opened fire. Immediately, Fox got in front of me, activating his reflector. Gotta hand it to the guy, his reflexes were fast. Wolf's pretty fast too, he back flipped behind the sand dune for cover from the reflected shots.

"Thanks, get ready, should be about three seconds, then light him up, I got the left, you got the right. About ten feet."

Fox nodded his understanding. I figured he wouldn't jump over the hill this time, that he would dash out to the left or right and strafe us to get closer, attack, or find new cover. The landscape was quite hilly and he had ample opportunity. The hills surrounded the crashed remains of our ships in a circle formation. we had crashed close to one edge of the circle, wolf was further away, just beyond the far side of the hills.

He came out the left. My shots grazed his shoulder, but he managed to get to a hill closer to us. We were surrounded by steep hills on every side. We wouldn't be the ones to make a move. Then again, he probably didn't feel all motivated to expose himself either. But eventually he was going to make a move to get closer to us. I quickly scanned my surroundings and identified his next likely hiding spot.

"Keep im' busy" I told fox, and keeping my aim on the hill wolf was concealed behind, started shuffling towards the hill.

Wolf must have heard my movement, and he peeked over for a split second, fox laid down suppressing fire, and I ran for the hill. I used my jump boosters to give me a boost over, and a split second later a laser bolt hit the area I was standing at a second ago. I rolled behind the hill, and readied a missile. I was going to flank wolf on the left, while fox began approaching the hill wolf was behind from the front. I had a plan. Wolf bolted away, running along the circumference of the outside edges of the hills further away from me. I popped up behind my cover and launched the rocket, making sure it hit a bit behind him, prompting him to continue. I reversed direction, instead of chasing him around the circle, I directed myself to run in a manner so that I would intercept him. I instructed Fox to pursue him, so we could sandwich him. Beyond the hills there was were tall rock formations that would block him from trying to escape, forcing him to either fight us both attacking from either side, or climb down to where our ships crashed. He chose the latter. He dived over the hill, sliding down on his back and continued to fire on us. However, he could only direct his fire towards one of us. So while he pinned me down, Fox began to pursue him, keeping his reflector up to prevent wolf from firing on him. It would have been more practical to take advantage of the high ground and take him down in a firefight, but this was personal between Fox and Wolf, I knew those two had history, and fox wanted it that way. Close and personal. As good as Fox was with a blaster, it was his hand to hand combat that set him apart from most others. However, Wolf had a headstart, and managed to get behind the wreckage of our ship.

Fox and I approached the wreckage.

"We have you surrounded Wolf, get your fluffy ass out here and we can discuss this is a semi-civilized fashion." I put emphasis on saying SEMI-civilized. I wanted to see if he knew anything about Snake and his exact location, and why he so rudely interrupted my match. The fact that he popped out of nowhere at this time made me suspicious. Plus he and Snake were kind of in the same boat.

"See, civility just ain't my forte. I'm a predator, don't you forget it."

"Well this time, the predator is the prey, and the prey hunts the predator." Fox laughed.

I heard a chuckle from where Wolf's voice came from.

"What's so funny?" Fox asked, a little miffed.

Instead of responding, Wolf let out a howl. One that didn't sound at all human... well that shouldn't be a surprise, he wasn't human. But it was kinda creepy, because it didn't sound like a sound a Wolf would make either. It was loud, sinister, and primal.

"The hell was that about?" I grunted.

"Look!" Fox pointed off to the distance, back towards where Wolf had been positioned originally. In my peripheral vision I saw some massive object crash through the sand towards where Wolf was hiding.

Just barely over all the noise, I could hear Wolf laugh: "We're gonna have fun with this thing!"

Something tells me he's the one who's gonna have all the fun. No fair!

Hey guys. Just got back to school, break's over for me. Don't worry, I will continue writing, and I intend to go through with the request I received recently, but it will take time. I intend to spend more time on chapters from now on, and spend time making the writing of a higher quality. This might make it take longer to post new chapters. Also, I post more during what is evening hours for me. That always seems like the best time to write for me, at night. Night for me is perfect for writing. I always enjoy writing for this fanfic, don't worry it will get much better from here on out. I intend to make a plan for the rest of the plot, as a lot of stuff up until now has been just the exposition, you know introducing the characters and the plot. I had a discussion with a friend, and he told me that he told his fellow anime fan today that watching anime is like eating a fruit, You have to peel it first before you get to eat the yummy stuff inside. I agree with him. You got to get it all set up and explain the story, but you want to take your time for that. When I start a story, I have a tendency to follow the strategy of "en media res" which translates (from Latin, I believe) to "in the middle of the action". I like to begin chapters right in the middle of them doing something in a sudden manner, have you noticed? I've noticed a cliche of many author's beginning their story with the main protagonist waking up from sleeping. I avoid cliches the best I can. More good stuff to come soon, stay tuned, and please leave a review to let me know how you like the story so far, or maybe how you predict the plot will turn out. I said in the beginning that this story was based on a fan theory based on the Metroid game series, but it also involves another game series, if you can call it that. My username is a reference to that theory. That is my hint to you guys.

On a less serious note, I received a private message from some... er... charming lady shall we way? -sarcasm intensifies- by the name of "Lora". Well, that wasn't her full username, but I'll spare you the rest. She requested my number and to have, well let's put it this way, "intimate contact". I hope this isn't normal for this site... but I'm concerned now. I would ask any readers to please refrain from this in the future.

Solo, peacin' the fudge out of here somewhat awkwardly...
