Nothing or Everything!
Chapter: Eleven
Part Two: Final Countdown
South Pacific island: The facility
Prior to events
Ridley used the airlock of the space pirate ship to leave and propelled himself up from the depths of the ocean waters near the island. Once he rose from the waters, he flies up in the air and headed to the island.
His eyes narrowed in knowing Samus is here. He will soon deal with her, once he has what they came for and it's in a locked vault. A vault that Weavel could not slice or blast open. Seems these humans are not as dumb as he first thought.
Perhaps it would have been best to keep a few alive. Too late to realize that now. Flying quickly he is hovering over the top side of the facility and his eyes looked down to see at the courtyard a lot of space pirates there.
What were they doing there? Ridley hovered there to see a burning vehicle, an injured Zeta Metroid and a lot of confusion. He sighed, the Zeta Metroid, which it must have jumped on the vehicle and it exploded.
Ridley flies up high in the air, corkscrews like a drill and flies down upon the facility to get inside. He crashed inside, ignoring the falling debris behind him and crashing into several floors.
His wing sliced through the cables in the elevator shaft which James Bond was in the elevator when the cable snapped. Ridley had any idea the master spy had infiltrated the facility or Samus had infiltrated the space pirate ship.
The alien space dragon landed feet first nearby the vault, he sees the assembled space pirates with Weavel at the vault and is waiting for him to show up.
"Stand aside," commanded Ridley "I will handle this myself."
Weavel and the space pirates did not argue with Ridley. The space dragon crawled on by them with his hind legs and came upon the vault doors. At first, he slammed himself right at the doors by using his head and it left a dent upon the doors.
Then he fired plasma from his mouth to burn down the doors or at least super heated them. Once again Ridley slammed his body on the vault doors over and over, until the dent got bigger, and he fired plasma towards the dented metal.
The metal from the dent melted, he firmly grips the hole with his claws and using all his strength to rip it open. A creek like sound is echoing in the background like if something is happening.
Rip.
The vault door came off, Ridley had used all his strength to do so and tossed the door aside inside is the prize of what they came for and these Earth humans don't have a clue about what they created. He and the space pirates do.
It's Afloritite.
By the looks of it, there is enough for them to take and make a good profit from the black market, while in space. Then Weaval received a message from the ship audio only to tell them Samus is attacking the ship.
"Load the Alforitite up," growled Ridley "I will handle Samus personally."
Wordlessly, they obeyed Ridley's orders without question. The space dragon was about to leave until a piece of debris hits him in the back and looked up to see someone hovering away in a jet pack.
His eyes narrowed!
He recognized the blue color of armor.
It's Samus.
So, she has help. He let's out a bellowing roar and spread his wings. At the same time he bends his legs and leaps up to flap his wings to chase after Samus or, so he thinks is Samus dressed in blue.
James Bond had used an experimental jet pack to slowly hover away. He had seen the space dragon rip open the vault door, at the same time to avoid falling debris.
Uh-oh, he heard the roar of the space dragon and increased speed to get away. He glanced back to see Ridley is gaining on him and has an angry look. He must think James is Samus by wearing the blue color.
James used the jet pack to fly up from holes in the floor which Ridley had done when he broke in here and headed to the hole in the rooftop of the facility. It's time for a game changer in this one.
While flying out, he takes an object out of his pocket. It's a detonator and pressed it. The countdown had begun on the display timer of the timed explosives he placed on the power core of the facility.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
KABOOM.
An explosion is heard coming from the power core. A massive fireball rises up quickly and Ridley is hit by the fire-ball and James made it out in the nick of time, like the fireball acted like a spitting volcano.
With the power core damages from the explosives, it will not take long before it melts down and destroys the island taking everything with it. James flew away from the facility, and he heard the same roaring noise again.
Ridley rose from the fireball like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, and he looked furious, Samus had ruined his plan and won't let her get away with, he fired plasma fireballs from his mouth at James.
The master spy can feel the heat, but he is certainly not in the kitchen and dodged to avoid being hit. James got higher in the sky above the island, dodged some more fireballs and took out his pocket an ice grenade.
Ridley opened his mouth to shoot out more plasma fire and James tosses the ice grenade like a base-ball and it sailed into the mouth of the alien space dragon, then ice and fire exploded on contact with each other.
Ridley is choking on it and flew hard into the water with a big splash.
"I hope you don't mind, but you need to chill out," muttered Bond with a pun.
The waters where Ridley had splashed into are bubbling and zipping upwards from the depths is Ridley. He chased after James again only this time by trying to slice him with his claws or chomp down upon him with his teeth.
In all the confusion there is a rain storm that's still happening and the wind is blowing all around, a water spout had formed and is heading right towards them. He used the experimental jet pack to fly out-of-the-way.
It wasn't easy, because the wind forces are strong and Ridley got caught in the water-spout. He is spinning around and around like a washing machine, until Ridley had enough and used supersonic speed to escape.
Flying at full speed Ridley's jaw opened up, his sharp claws are about to lunge at James Bond until a pair of missiles exploded upon the side of Ridley causing him to free fall to the island below with a hard impact on the ground.
Samus's ship came out from the cloud cover, with Samus had the hell of her personal craft.
"Took you long enough," said Bond.
"I had a ship to catch," she responded by way of the ear device "And looks like he is getting back up."
"It won't take long before the island blows up." He informed her.
"Yeah, my ships sensors detected an energy build up coming from the island." She spoke to him.
"Here, he comes." Replied Bond.
Ridley healing systems kicked in after impact upon the island grounds. He flies back up and realized Samus is in her ship and the helper is there as well. Unlike his clone, he is fully armed to handle anyone or anything.
He extended his wings and fired missiles at the both of them. This made James using the jet pack and Samus in her ship to fly in opposite directions to avoid the missiles. These were not ordinary ones, these are heat seekers.
Avoiding them was not easy for both James and Samus with that and a tropical storm is happening. It was like fighting Ridley, a storm and heat seeking missiles at the same time.
A bolt of lightning hit a couple of heat seekers, they exploded on contact with electricity in midair. With missiles are coming from behind James and heat seeker missiles are behind Samus.
She fired a barrage of lasers from her ship and James fired a blast shot from the weapons Samus gave him. They exploded behind one another, and this gave Ridley to strike hard at them.
Samus used her ship's headlights to blind Ridley. The blinding light only fazed him, until he regained his vision.
"Let's take this above the clouds." Bond spoke to Samus.
"Exactly, what I am thinking." Samus replied to Bond.
James flies to the cloud cover by way of the experimental jet pack, following alongside is Samus inside of her ship and disappeared into the clouds, while Ridley goes to chase after them.
A series of lights seen upon the clouds to show weapons fire and finally a noise is heard which sounded like.
CLANG.
