Thanks go to the authors of 'The Kihunters' and 'Show Off' for
inspiring me to make a continuation of these two fanfics. I think
that they both should be movies, they play out silver-screen material
so wonderfully to me.
Prelude: Keaton's Discovery
Chairman Keaton sits back in his office, tapping the desk with a pen
while reviewing the data on Metroids that was taken from Laguna Ater
before the revelation that he was the leader of the pirates. Keaton
was thoroughly disapppointed that such a disaster occurred. He was
lazily sifting through the records, noting that although this was from
the pirates, it was surprisingly accurate, even down to the attack on
a B.S.L. station that was on the planet SR388 nearly 11 years ago.
The attack was on historical record. The last report sent was by
the lone survivor, Royce Felder, on whom there was no information. She
disappeared moments after the report was received by Alpha Centauri
Station. The report detailed that the Metroids had overrun the station
and mysteriously avoided attacking Royce the whole time.
When Samus was assigned to SR388, she had two objectives: Eradicate
the Metroids and locate Royce Felder. Neither objective was completed,
as there was one hatchling remaining, in the care of Ceres station, and
Royce was nowhere to be found.
Being reminded of this attack and the mission that Samus had then,
his thoughts trailed off to Royce Felder's mysterious appearance and
disappearance.
Where was she?
Why didn't the Metroids attack her, too?
Why couldn't Samus find her if there was no way to leave the planet?
"Why, why, why?!" Keaton found himself shouting aloud. He knocked
over a rubik's cube that he confisicated from Hardy yesterday, watched
it hit the file cabinet to the left and plop into a garbage pail.
"Why doesn't this make sense?!" And then it hit him. Samus was off
her vacation (that was cut off by Ater) in a few hours. "Why don't I
ask the two...no...-three- (he considered Ridley with a bit of
agitation) people who can get to the bottom of this?"
Chapter 1: Aku-Hardy Special!
James Hardy was on a roll! Pastry or bread, buttered or frosted, he
didn't care! He was hungry, always a distraction, but he didn't want
to be knocked out of the elimination so close to becoming one of the
Federation Tournament of Fighters finalists. His last opponent was
part of the planet trade, (Ginyu Special Forces, even) and his name was
Aku'Hokky. He had a smug look on his face thinking that his opponent
was a mere hot air balloon. Not when Hardy was the star pupil of Ocho
Heidegger, the master of Kar-Umo.
Aku'Hokky had seen Hardy battle, and it was like watching a clumsy
fat man try to squash a sumo wrestler to him. Still, he couldn't
underestimate one thing. What if Hardy was holding back?
Hardy leaped into the ring and landed feet first with a BOOM.
"Alright, you tub of lard, let's see you beat a member of the mighty
Ginyu Force!" He began a sequence of weird poses and ended looking like
he was about to fall on his face. "AKU'HOKKY!"
Hardy got into the Kar-Umo stance and stared at his opponent.
"Blowhard, you're just an over-posing pansy." Aku'Hokky fell at this
comment. Cheers were among the other fighters watching. ("Get
'im, Hardy! Pummel that planet-razing scum into a pancake!")
"Ergh, what did you SAY to ME?!" Aku'Hokky gets up and holds his
hands behind and to his left, crossing his thumbs together. "You'll
pay for insulting the Ginyu Force! Aku'Hokky Special!" He thrusts his
linked hands forward with the palms flat out as a blast of energy sails
toward Hardy, who blocks the attack and gets pushed back nearly to the
edge of the ring before he starts to hit the blast right back to
Aku'Hokky with a blur of sumo palm attacks, finishing with one last
hard slap that sent the attack flying right into Aku'Hokky, who was
flung far out of the ring and hit a wall.
"And that's 100. I've mastered two techniques this match."
"T...two?"
"If you wanna see, then join the audience...poser." Samus and
Houston watched the whole match, for what little of it there was.
Ridley had just finished his battle with a Torizo that got too close to
his mouth. The Torizo was badly burned, but still alive and able to
walk to the hospital for treatment. Ridley looked at Samus and asked,
"Why didn't you or Houston enter?" Samus looked over at Ridley with
a weird glare.
"Are you kidding? With or without our Power Suits we wouldn't stand
much chance. Remember that guns and rockets aren't legal in the rules.
But stuff like what you and Hardy have been pulling, that's just fine."
"Are you insinuating that you aren't as good as everyone says you
are?" Samus turns to face Ridley while Houston looks at Samus as
though she was going to do something stupid, which, to his thinking,
she does as she slams Ridley in the chest with her left fist. Ridley
just cackles and looks down. "...I see your point. If you can't hurt
me, then there's little chance that you -do- have in this." Houston
sighs with relief. He didn't want to have a roasted sister, but
apparently Ridley let her hit him as a demonstration of what she was
saying to him.
------------------------
The beginning of the finals was drawing close. Hardy was in the
first quarter-final match against Ridley. Houston looked at Samus to
ask,
"Why did you punch Ridley?" She looks at Houston and then at Ridley.
"I was holding back. I really could have landed him on his rear.
I just didn't enter because of my reputation. Too many would have
given up."
"Oh. I thought you really were that weak for a moment." Samus
motions to knock Houston's lights out. "B-But then, I had asked
because I thought you were holding back, also!" Samus lowers her fist
and murmurs to Houston.
"Another crack like that and I crack you." Houston gives off a
nervous 'heh' and goes to watch Hardy and Ridley walk out to the
tournament ring. The announcer prattles off to the audience for a
minute or two while Ridley and Hardy stare each other down.
"And now, the first quarter-final match of the Federation Tournament
of Fighters! Hardy vs. Ridley...BEGIN!" Hardy gets into stance while
Ridley gets ready to charge.
"You know that I'm only going to fight fist-to-fist this match."
Hardy looks at Ridley.
"Don't put me at an advantage." Ridley didn't hear Hardy as he
jumped forward while Hardy jumped to the side. Hardy then charges at
Ridley and starts to slam him with a ton of sumo palm punches. Ridley
waits out the gap between the assault and final blow and flies into
the air.
"You think that I'm putting you at an advantage! You can't fly, so
we're even!" Hardy squats down momentarily and then leaps into the
air and hits Ridley in the stomach with his balding head. Ridley's
eyes seem to bulge and he lets out a squawk as he falls to the ring
area, winded.
"Now to show you my second new trick." Hardy puts his hands to the
left side and crosses his thumbs. "AKU-HARDY SPECIAL!!!" Aku'Hokky,
in the audience, falls over as Hardy messes up on the name. Hardy
extends his hands and fires a blue beam of energy at Ridley, who tries
to punch it, but misses hitting the beam an inch too high and lands
outside the ring.
"Ridley is out of the ring! Hardy advances to the semi-finals!"
Ridley gets up, clutching gently at his now-tender stomach area.
He looks at Samus and walks to her.
"You know what? I think that you really -did- hit me back there.
I'm starting to feel it, now...oough..." Samus and Houston look at
each other and laugh just as a messenger arrives for the trio.
