-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulthee, the pirate's sniper, starts to climb a large tree while stealthed, to later slide around to crouch on a branch. Her sniper rifle extends to its full meter and a half length, and she moves it across her body to grip the barrel with her left hand to steady her aim. The inside of the barrel suddenly glows brilliantly, and the commando drops out of stealth since she is concealed by foliage. She brings the weapon up to one quarter charge, then her rifle expands as it fans out a bit to allow more air into the weapon for cooling purposes. Should she go higher than one half power, one shot will heat the weapon such that it will be unable to fire no more than once per three seconds, rising by one second every two percent charge. Everything above seventy-five percent requires an external cooling unit, and one hundred percent can punch through 100 solid centimeters of battleship-graded armor plating. One quarter power, however, is the best for anti-personnel.

"On second thought..." the sniper commando thinks, and a nearly silent (even to her) whirr signals a change in ammunition type. Since this is in the atmosphere, solid shells can be extremely destructive. Loading a single slug, the rifle's exterior glows ever so slightly as it magnetizes and turns into a railgun. Then, putting a bead on the Hunter's head, she waits.

Meanwhile, Encarathee moves around the clearing, placing low grade directional concussion mines that will send the unfortunate target flying back into the area with the ship.
Rekthee collects the last of the phazon on the ground and shifts slightly so that he is now facing the feet of the Hunter and her companion, the tube which was used for collecting the stuff widening out into a hose.
Melothee moves around to the opposite side of the ship, coming to a stop just around the curve of its side and readying herself for close support while Darithee does the same around the opposite side of the ship.
Horathee slowly flickers into visibility at the edge of the clearing, and slowly walks forward.

"Really, Hunter, what makes you think we're here for you? Are you really so self-centered that you think that our movements revolve around you and you alone? No, we are here merely to monitor the status of those who have seen fit to ally themselves with us. If we are to expect their aid in situations in which we need it, how can we not provide what protection we can to supplement their own abilities?"

Samus's radar beeped and her eyes flicked to it. Two targets, one in the forest, Vulthee she figured, and turned her attention to the other, Horathee. She crossed her arms and turned to face him.

"What makes you think that? I'm not some conceited human... I was starting to figure you came out here for these girls... As soon as they show up, you guys began to soon after... So you are here to watch them? That's it? What ever happened to your thing of eliminating those who leave?"

Her voice was calm and collected. It was a bold move to come out alone, up against seven or more people. But he was undoubtedly being covered.

"Kyaaaa... it's one of them..." Yoko yelped as she backed with a sudden jump
"Erm... about the 'eliminate those who leave'... WTF???" Yoshiko was astounded about the situation they where now.

"Ok... prepare yourselves to kiss your petty butts goodbye..." Minako warned the group, as she took a battling stance
"Whose?" Keiko asked hasty
"Who cares... it's my business..."
"Suit yourself then..."

The Legend of Zelda – The Metroid's Shadow

Mission 18 – The Legend of Zelda, The Metroid's Shadow

Silence. All was silence.

The girls had assembled in circles with their backs laying on the others while Samus just looked at the pirate standing just in front of her. The tense grew.

"True…That is a practice within our own armies to discourage the sharing of secrets with your 'government'. And they hardly seem to be leaving. Simply ascertaining what else is on this planet. A simple, wise practice which we have done ourselves," Horathee says calmly, both arm cannon and quantum scythe at his sides and neither ready to strike with.

At the same time, with her tasks done, Encarathee takes cover beneath a thick bank of foliage and prepares some EMP bombs in her right arm bomb/grenade rack.

Samus nodded slowly.

"..Yeah... I've seen some of that on Aether... But more of a fear for their lives when they encountered the ING."

She looked around her visor again at the outside environment, not moving her head. She then looked back at Horathee.

"So. That's it then? Just going to watch them? Now what, you go back into camo... Or have you something else planned?"

"That all depends on you, Hunter. That all depends on you..." Horathee says quietly, stepping backward and fading out of existence as the hologram, cast by one of the five partially used decoy units, disappears. The unit itself then detonates in a ball of fire roughly five feet in area but not large enough to do anything more than scorch the side of the ship slightly more than it was already and glass the ground beneath where its lower surface used to be.

The Cyber Girls, feeling somewhat threatened by this (not to mention that they all flinched by the sudden detonation, with the exception of Minako who looked upon it with amusement) summoned their basic weapons.
Yoshiko's ray gun, Yoko's Trackball, Minako's basic bombs and Keiko's whip.
But before any action or anything an invisible force pulled both parties back, separating at a quite far distance.

"Stop at this instant!!" Kazuko's small antenna that was located on top of her 'headphones' gadget was up. It seemed to amplify her ESP powers, which meant she was responsible of such separation.
She passed inside the gap, there was a scary determination reflected within her eyes which where behind her green translucid visor.

"If there's somebody to blame... I am..." She took her right hand to her chest "Ever you want to execute us or take us, you'll have to go under my lines or there will not be any solution for this"

"Execute?" Yoko whimpered
"Doesn't that sound a bit drastic?"
"I just hope you know what you're doing..."

"Firstly" Her voice, thought it didn't sound bossy, was really rude and scary for the Orange girl's measure "I wish you all, to disengage any type of weapon..."

She turned and leered her group

"I said DISENGAGE..."
"Erm... yeah... girls" Yoshiko yelped and started to order "Disengage weapons please"

"Honestly, do we have to spell it out for you?" comes the voice of Melothee (already established as the one prone to sarcasm and such) from ten different positions (the commandos besides Darithee temporarily employing their partially depleted decoy units) so that it is impossible to track. "We already said that we wouldn't be doing that, if you just listened to what we're saying..."

"Hologram... Clever."

She turned around and looked back to the girls of the previous conversation about them.

"...They are not going to take you guys out... Well, you heard yourselves... What do you all want to do?"

--------------------------------------------------------

Jaith was leaned against a tree watching the whole thing. All he did was shake his head when he saw Xion arrive "...You're late... really late..."

Xion rolled his eyes, "Whatever, what's going on?"

"...You know... I have no clue... but be ready to fight if need be..."

--------------------------------------------------------

Link blinked several times in confusion. He then shook his head a few times and turned to Zelda, "Do you have any idea what's going on?"

"I'm not sure," Zelda answered, coming close to him, somewhat afraid of what was out there, what was going on? "On second thought," she decided" I think maybe we should stay in here--less explaining, and less being creped out..."

--------------------------------------------------------

Well… at least the commotion is over

Sighing, the girls seemed to be relieved in their own way. Still, the hacker seemed a bit bitter.

"You have to forget Kazuko" Yoshiko stood out of the group "She's a bit nervous late..."

By the girl's surprise, the green Cyber Girl slapped the blue one.
Falling, mostly by the surprise, to the ground she saw her sister's expression behind her visor (looking up really at a nice position)
She had tears in her eyes. Though mad, she looked more preoccupied.
Saying nothing, Kazuko started to walk to a distant point from the ship, not enough to loose her sight.

"What's with her lately?" Keiko helped Yoshiko to stand up
"Dunno..." the Blue Cyber Girl responded, taking her other hand to the slapped part "But I don't think it's her fault at all..."
"Huh...? Why?"
"She's just worried... that's all. After… what ever happened here separated us in the first place, I never thought I'd see ya again, probably that's what's going on"

Yoshiko seemed serene. Not really mad about her sister sudden action.

"Heck... well, she can be a mystery when she wants..."

"What do I want to do?" Yoko turned back to Samus after seeing the small performance "Erm... I dunno... what do you want to do Mina-chan?"
"What do I wanna do…? Easy... get my butt out of here... or have some good butt kicking action..."
"Well, at least Minako is fine" Keiko replied with a deadpan
"I dunno but..." Now Yoshiko sounded serious "I think it is time we could find a way to return to Akihabara... In some way, we are interfering more than we are helping"

"No duh…" the bomber rolled her eyes
"What? Eh?! No way!" the fighter yelped surprised "we are gettin' close to meet..."
"I... also wanna go home..." Yoko's voice sounded really melancholic "I wanna see granmma again... see my friends... Lil' Dr. Chisaii"
"I really need some weapon upgrade..." Minako mumbled at hearing Chiisaii's name
"Yeah... I miss skating already..." The purple cyber girl looked up to the sky and mumbled something like '360 degree spin'
"Now that you say... I really miss lil' Akihabara..."

Sighing, Yoshiko turned her head towards Kazuko.
Her long green hair covered her face, as she was sat in a stone.

"Well... if they really wanna help... then let them help us get home, ne?"

"..."

Samus really had nothing to say. She was not use to, or was really around these kinds of situations. But decided to say something none the less, something she was taught by the Chozo.

"It is not to good an idea to start thinking of home so early. This might sound harsh... But if you start thinking of home, you may slowly loose grip of what is going on now, and draw away. Or something to that effect..."

"..."

Yoshiko knew she was right, yet that homecoming feeling was getting a strong grip at her.
She knew she had to get rid of it, but still, that warm welcome feeling.

"So... we are not going back?" Yoko now sounded concerned

Snapping quickly of that trance, the blue leader tapped her sister's shoulder, giving a ensuring smile

"Yes, we are going, but we first must finish a mission"
"A mission? What's the mission about?" Yoko started to sob softly
"Let's say Chiisaii-chan hasn't told us what it is... (That racoon stuffu… ) And we are still looking some clues to find out"
"Oh" Yoko started to beam "So we are now detectives ne?"
"Ee, we are "

Wiping the few tears she had, Yoko stood up, with a tender smile.

"Well, guess we'll have to go to the 'butt kicking spree...' " Minako said, while she was beside a nearby tree
"Yeah... guess so..." Keiko started to laugh a bit

Kazuko was still sat on the large stone, with no sign of hearing anything
Yoshiko walked slowly, trying not to tamper her now vulnerable emotional state

"Erm... Kazuko... I'm..."
"I know..." She mumbled

Rising her head, Yoshiko could see her sister's face again.
Her eyes where a bit puffed, probably by the silent cry, yet, they looked calm again.

"So... sis, you ready to help?" Yoshiko beamed
"Sure" She said while showing a small tender smile

"Also…Samus is a great aid… isn't she?"

"Erm... so that means, we are back in the hunt... should I do my trick and..."
"NO!!" Everyone shouted. Minako's trick was to blow up half place and later check for anyone.
Quite effective, but really harsh and deadly. Technique she loved to use and everyone feared the most

"Let's do it the traditional way..." Yoshiko suggested nervously
"Hump..." Minako turned her back on the rest of the team and started to walk to 'her' tree.

Samus sighed to herself. That should help them keep focused she guessed. Now she needed to focus. Vulthee was still on radar. Why? The team sniper yes... But here would only be few targets from what Horathee indicated. Were they falling into some kind of trap? No...

She placed her left hand to her helmeted head. All this going on was starting to give her a headache...

"Okay..." Jack announced after a long time "my head's spinning here. Let's just clear this mess up and repair the phazon corrosion on my ship before I lose my temper and I take it out on some poor innocent bystander!"

"Ah... finally, we are talking!" Yoshiko rolled her eyes, as she took out her basic weapon again, with the water gun appearance.

"Erm... what's a bystander?" Yoko asked Kazuko
"Let's say" Minako overheard the question "Someone like us..."
"Nu" the acrobat shook her head vigorously
"Don't worry" Kazuko leered Minako "Nothing will happen to us, I'll make sure of that"

"Heck... whatever..." Minako turned her face away from Kazuko's sight

"Well, what do you suggest me to do with the Phazon?" The blue Cyber Girl asked Jack, quite impatient. "I may know its story... and where it comes from (Erm... Tallon VI, Aether... erm, not to mention Prime 3… gah! Why wait one freakin' year... considering we left in December…) But not how to dispose it..."
"Don't forget, it's radioactive" Keiko suggested
"I know that!"
"Heck... sorry... and next time, tell me that before going on the Pirate's base back on Prime 1"
"I told ya, you need a damm Phazon suit! Remember, out of one Elite?"
"You never told me back..."

"Wow... arguing again about gaming tips... It is a beautiful day... "



"Please girls" Kazuko separated both "I believe it's not the time... nor subject you should handle here..." She looked up to Jack and Samus for any reaction
"Well, next time tip me on time"
"Will do then" Yoshiko's temper was red hot "Hey!" She shouted at Jack "So what to do then?!"
"She's scary when she's like that and holding her weapon..."
"Well... at least its water... right?"

"... What is" Samus' voice sounded thru the chattering of the girls "there to do exactly with the phazon? Re-store it, or destroy it? Destroying it would be the better option, seeing as the amount you have would be a beacon to that copy of mine, and that 'Shadow Link'"

Again, Keiko entered to deep (probably romantic?) thoughts

"Link… "
"She's drooling again" Yoko pointed
"Erm... Let her be" Yoshiko said without putting attention, she was already aiming, yet not basically to Phazon

Suddenly, and with a resounding whump, a great 'paddle' of bendezium fibers slams down on top of the phazon, which is rather promptly soaked up completely. Then, without a further word, the 'paddle' pulls back around the side of the ship and Darithee climbs up the side of the ship so that if anyone investigates they'll find nothing of him.

"Unless I am sorely mistaken, that was ours anyway. We'll take care of it."

Samus nearly jumped at the sound of the bendezium fiber 'paddle' slamming down around the Phazon, and turned to look. Nothing, on the energy meter, nothing... No radioactiviy. She slapped her hand to her cannon at hearing what Darithee says.

"Well... That takes care of that."

"Yeah…" Yoshiko sweatdropped "They can be quite handy when they want to ne?"
"I don't call that 'handy' I call it theft... it is energy ya know?"

"Evil poisonous energy..." Yoko squeaked

"It's hardly theft," Encarathee's voice sounds in the clearing. "We of the Organization are the only ones who know how to properly process and refine phazon to that level of purity. That pool you saw there was stolen from us, one way or another, and all we did was taking it back."
"That's beside the point that our suits are designed to contain and make use of phazon to its fullest extent. It can't hurt any of us, unlike almost all of you present" Horathee adds.

And so, as quickly as they acted, they left.

"Well, at least we must say they've gotten another thing to take care (taking such thing is really dangerous)"
"Not to mention... if they get with both darklings..." the fighter sighed

The Cyber Girls had quickly become silent for a moment.
Wind howled a little.

"Erm... now what?"

Samus breathed out before replying.

"Indeed... What now..."

She thought. She would recommend to explore as much of this land, find areas that maybe of some use, or advantage, but with some of the Six around, hidden... There would not be very much of an advantage to be had. Maybe, a sudden scatter? Just spilt up into single person groups, go off in random directions, meet back somewhere else? Possibly... But the girl's strengths seemed to be with each other... But the Pirates were here to watch them... "Guard" them as they said...What to do...?

"Tell me Samus…"

Kazuko walked towards the hunter clad in metal. She sighed for a moment as she heard the chat of the girls. Apparently it was about 'stealing things stolen back'. Oh well, what can one do?

"What do you suggest us to do?" the hacker continued "since I believe you've been her much longer than us, I believe we can rely on your comments"

"I would gladly rely some ideas of what to do... But that would be difficult with the pirates around...So I propose we do this mentally..."

Samus added the final sentence as a directed thought to Kazuko remembering her 'power'

"I had an idea to explore this land, or as much of it as what is available to us.. But with Darithee and the others tailing us, what thinks that might provide an advantage to us, could quickly and surely be eliminated, or provide them an advantage..."

"And the fact that we work better on group... you had all in mind and I belive they do as well" she replied in the same way "Though, we may go in small groups of 2... we are 6 rigth?, 3 groups of 2 ought to do it. And by what I heard and saw, they are 'The six'. Still we may be at half, it is better than standing alone. And I will (if they aren't too away because It would be much difficult) pass some information or weapons (if available) to the rest of the groups. If you let me..."

From her long green hair a small wire was pull.
With the same color, it was no wonder why it was so hidden.
It seemed to be adaptable, like most of the girls weaponry

"I can let you a remote link, something we have, so your scanner can be synchronized with mine. And if you ask why not passing it wireless, it's safer, believe me..."

"That cable... that's the one she uses for hacking..." Yoshiko whispered to the group which was now in a circle (Minako was a bit far, yet in the circle)
"I don't think she'd hack her... would she?" Keiko whispered back
"No... I think she's passing info... or..."
"Heck, she can be brilliant..."

"Sounds alright to me."

Samus crossed her arms again. Things might just turn out better for them. Or so she hoped.

"So, how do we arrange the groups without informing our unseen friends?"

"I know just how to do it..." the hacker smirked

Snapping her fingers 4 times, the girls raised their heads.
"I guess it's..." the leader beamed
"Shhh.. you know what that means..." the fighter leered at her
"Oh, yeah... sry..."

"We, in these cases, arrange ourselves by me..."

"Did you call?" Yoshiko was now in the same 'tune'
"Finally, do we get to do butt kicking action?" Minako sounded a bit anoyed
"You and your… " and Keiko seemed to her sister's reply
"Hello there..." Yoko's voice greeted "this is always funny.."

"I can channel it for a 'free for all' or..."

In a sudden, their voices where gone, leaving only Samus and Kazuko's thoughts

"One for one 'conversation', so, I believe we can now inform the rest of the group our plans... or do you want to suggest me something more?"

"Excellent" the huntress replied " It would be a simple matter to contact Jaith and Xion, I'll send them messages through the com link. Text only of course."

"Do that while I tell the plan to the others"

Though she was using such weird method, she made a hand gesture to the rest of the group to come closer.
Once in position they made another circle.
Between some chattering and sudden quietness, Kazuko sent the plot to each of them, in their peculiar view

In that same time, Samus began to write out the transmission that would be sent to Xion and Jaith.

"Right. We are going to spilt up into small groups and scatter. That should be difficult hopefully.. For the Six to track us. We will then try to meet up as a whole somewhere.. But that had not yet been figured out, Nor the size of the groups..."

Transmission sent.

"Split up?" Sounds okay to me, should make it harder for them to track us... and also, makes us a smaller target too." Jack said to Samus in a hushed voice. He wasn't sure what he was to do about the Phazon that had been stolen from him... The Pirates he'd... 'borrowed' it from, left the ship to it's fate, if anything the Phazon was relinquished... And was now his. Whatever, it was only Phazon, like there's a shortage of the stuff.

"So... who I am with?"

"We have yet to figure that out... But please, use a com link... The pirates can blow that up to where they hear that..." Samus replied in an equally hushed voice.

"How about a Yanken game? "


The girls quiteted Yoko with a long 'shh'.
The cute Cyber Girl blushed and apologised quietly.

"Nah... that's too stupid..." Minako replied
"But we have no other way to decide..." Keiko sighed
"Yes we have... "Kazuko looked to them to their eyes "It will depend on our ability compativility"
"But we are compatible with each other..." the Leader reminded the hacker
"Yet, it depends on what mission we desire, this time is track and..."
"Destroy"the bomber interrupted
"Probably... but this is a track and search mission (with a bit of destroy). So the way we will arrange will decide the fate of our win"

Kazuko let the girls decide in a 'channel' she designed, then 'spoke' to Samus

"We are 5, so that means one of us will go with you or Jack (if you, by what I suppose, like to work alone) but I believe that will be your decision. Choose wisely as each of us possess a different ability"

Samus thought about this.

"What are all your abilities?"

"Yoshiko is the gunner, Yoko is the acrobat, Minako is the explosives expert, Keiko uses a whip and myself, as you may know already I am the hacker of the group.
After that, the special ability are: Yoshiko has a perfect aim, about Yoko's ability we aren't so sure, I am psychic as you are already experiencing, Minako can fix about everything, and Keiko as I mentioned before, has superhuman strength."

After that she paused, then resumed.

"Choose wisely, as you have different armoring system than us and a different battle strategy I suppose"

"Hmm... Difficult..."

Samus shifted her eyes to the girls, then to Jack, then to Jaith and Xion right at the tree line. Then back to Kazuko.

"Probably need to think about this some more... There is also Jack... But all we know about his is that he is a bounty hunter..."

"In that case (summing your other 2 companions) would make us 7... Somebody is going to work alone..."

"Question is... Who?"

"Now that I count us..." Yoshiko was still in that 'channel' made by Kazuko "Someone will have to go alone..."
"Let's see..." Yoko raised her open hand and started counting "One, two, three, four, five... divided by 2... that'll make 2.5... someone has to split in two "
"Don't be fool " Minako reprehended "It means someone will go alone... question is who..."
"I could..."
"No..." Keiko sounded worried "Yoshiko, remember what happened to ya..?."
"I know... (and it was vs Samus... I think... was it??? mmm) but I was about to suggest a threesome..."
"We are 9 in total... 5 us, 2 them, and the other 2 from her side. 9... "

Minako had gone to the point that Yoshiko wanted

"A threesome... I had to be you to not notice"
"Was that a sarcasm? "
"Take it as you want"
"I'll tell Kazuko"

With no other thing, Keiko's thoughts where now along with Kazuko's and Samus'

"We counted... we are 9 in total... Yoshiko suggests a tri-party..."
"Tri-parties... doesn't sound bad... but that'll make us 3 groups of 3... and they are 6..."

"Well..."Samus seems thoughtful still "unless we know what Jack wants to do... Then I guess I could go it alone... I'm used to it..."

"Well, if you think you can hand it alone its fine..."
"Erm... didn't you hear about the..." Keiko interrupted
"I know, but we won't cover much area as if we are pairs... Unless, of course, we all decide the tri-parties..."

Samus figured the companies of three would not be as hard to find as companies of two... Especially against professional trackers...

"Kazuko... They'll be soon and without warning..."

"I know, that's why we must decide whether a tri-party or go with the original 2 parties..."
"Well... if you need me..." Keiko said with a hint of being ignored"I'll be in the 'other' channel"

And with that she 'disconnected' leaving Kazuko and Samus alone.

"For safety it we could go for the threesome... but for space the two by two should be fine... In my point of view should go for the tri-parties... then again, your allies are already 2... Leaving you alone..."

"Hmm... Nine of us... Three for safety... two for move a scatter effect, leaving one alone... Or teamed with another group... The point of the scatter is to scatter, and re-meet as a whole in another location.. Well, seeing as we cannot decide... The number game. Can you let one of the other girls on the link?"

"I see... yet, why you want another one to connect?" the hacker asked curious

"Well, if you were close, or far from getting the number, it really would not be much of a difference, would it? Seeing as you would be the only person to pick a number."

"I think groups of three then?"

"..Huh? That's not what I meant... Never mind... Let's just stick with the original plan... Split into twos and scatter..."

"Ok... I'll give the signal..."

Kazuko 'logged out' from her talk with Samus and headed to the girls.
After hearing their decision they where surprised.

"WHAAAA?" they said unison.
"Yes... that way we get more ground"
"So much for your idea..." Minako smirked
"Ah... shut up..." Yoshiko just leered to a random spot
"But then... Who goes alone...?" Yoko tilted her head
"That's for you to decide..." Keiko pointed to Kazuko

There was a small silence around
Yoshiko would like to, but due what happened she knew she couldn't
Yoko as afraid of being alone, Minako didn't mind to be alone and Keiko was hoping for a teaming with anybody. She worked well alone but she knew that against them they wouldn't make it much..
Sighing, Kazuko interrupted the silence.

"I'll go..."
"What?"
"But aren't you..."
"Don't worry... we'll be in communication"
"Well... ok..."

"Just be carefullchuu"

Kazuko disconnected the 'channel' loggin the girls off.
After doing that, she came near the the Hunter.

"It's all arranged..." She whispered "I'll go by myself..."

Samus blinked behind the emerald visor at this decision.

"Ok... If that is what you want to do..."

"Yes..." she said confidently.

"Alrigth team!!" Yoshiko said cheerfully "assume position... 3.42.10"
"Man... hell no!!!" Minako glared at Yoko
"I'm scared now" the acrobat replied cheerful, but with a hint of nervousness
"Finally... so much there wasn't a 3.42.10"
"I know" Yoshiko winked at Keiko.

"Just… try not to go to hyper…"
"You sure you want to give us a headache..."

"So..." Yoshiko invited "Are we going yet?"

"You know guys…. There might be a problem with this though…"

"Huh?"

Jack pointed at his ship. It was still wrecked and he didn't seem like the kind of person he'd leave stuff like that

"I mean… I know the Phazon's gone but… still, this is my ship. If we are ever to return, I guess I should repair it then"

Samus stood still and thoughtful. Silent.

She stared at the other hunter at the level of his eyes and then finally nodded.

"Anybody else staying?"

"Oh hell no!" Minako raised her voice

"Adventure mooooode!"

"Yes Yoshiko…. What ever…"

"You know there is no turning back after this" Kazuko warned the team

"We know, that's why we are going"
"In that case... let's start moving!!!" Yoshiko hesitated, as she and Keiko where already craving to start.
"Neh..." Minako responded, as she patted Yoko's back in order to snap her of whatever she was thinking.
"Oh... ok"
"Please, you know how to communicate with me... if anything goes wrong" Kazuko lowered her voice tone "You also know what to do..."
"Aw 'common..." The leader joked "We are not going to those extremes to use... erm, DA signal..."
"I wish it doesn't happen" she looked worried "But..."
"Don't worry... don't worry" Keiko intervened "I'll take good care of her"

"Why does that worry me" Yoshiko laughed nervous

After glomping over her sister, they started to run and got into the deep forest, by a causality forming triangles.

Samus blinked, then made a dash, jumping to the top of the ship, then off over the back, sending a message to Xion and Jaith as she went. As she touched down on the grass, she rolled forward, and in a flash of light and meditation, entered the morph ball mode. She rolled over the grass at a high rate, making to get the center of the forest

transmission sent

"Scatter! As soon as everybody has broken up and gained some ground, we will try to figure out a meet place."

Jaith stood up straight and turned to Xion

"Come on let's go..." he said walking away.
"Where?" Xion asked shaking his head and following Jaith
"I'll explain later..."

------------------------------------

"Alright, they're splitting up. We shall do the same. Point, follow Unit Secondary, while Command will tail the Hunter. Tinker and Demo, tail Units Tirtiary and Pentary. Haz-mat, Com, tail Unit Primary," Horathee says over the com, each unit of the squad moving from their position (Encarathee retrieving her mines first) to follow their target.

--------------------------------------

The place soon stood silent after the offworlders left.

Jack said something about looking some loose debris and had also vanished from the scene.

Seeing that nobody was around, Link carefully poked his head out from the inside of the craft, blinked once then turned to Zelda

"I think everyone has left... maybe we should too... my tree house... shouldn't be too far from here..."

Zelda nodded, peeking around the edge of the ship, watching at the empty space.

"Let's go then." she said, heading down the ramp carefully onto solid ground. She looked around once, heading to the forest with Link.

-------------------

And so, the scatter begins… and sets up the base for the whole series (YES! The good part of the series starts now!!! AHAHAHAHA!)

Sorry for the utterly long absence, but school sucks your soul.

Not to mention, Prime 3 is also sucking much of my attention as well XDDD, I got it before Chapter 20.

So anyhow, see you next mission! This will be a blast!

Read and Review loved!
