Trying to regain focus 982456 returned his attention to the metroid he had
previously pacified. He was shocked to see that the tank's cooling system
was not functioning and the metroid was once again thrashing wildly at the
cylinder tank it was contained in. 982456 watched in horror as the
corodite glass started to crack and give way to the metroid's repeated
tackles. He realized that the cooling system they had recently installed
was never hooked up to the reserve power they were now running on.
Without hesitation, 982456 yelled for his co-workers. "Go get the ice beam!" he exclaimed. The scientists scuttled to a small compartment in the wall and shattered the glass shielding the ice beam. One of the scientists held the cannon on shoulder like a bazooka and took aim at the containment tank. The metroid let out a long shriek as it broke through the glass and immediately flew towards the closest scientist. Responding promptly to his pursuer the scientist fled across the room.
982456 looked in horror at the scientist's struggle to escape the metroid and wondered would was keeping the scientist with ice beam. As he glanced over his shoulder he saw the scientist pressing buttons franticly trying to get the gun to fire. The scientist then stared into the barrel of the beam to see if anything was keeping it from firing. 982456 yelled to the scientist and told him to stop, but before he could finish the beam fired a shot. A huge white ball of energy and engulfed the Scientist's face. 982456 ran to the scientist's aid still aware that the metroid was chasing his other co-worker was being chased around room by the metroid. As 982456 approached the frozen space pirate he realized that the blast of the gun had cracked the ice as it froze him. This meant that scientist's head was probably shattered into thousand of pieces.
982456 taking caution not to disturb the scientist's head trauma he pried the Ice beam from the stiff hands of the scientist.
"Fool didn't know how to operate this," 982456 said to himself. Hoisting the Ice Beam onto his shoulders he returned his attention to the escaped metroid and the scientist it pursued. He took aim at the metroid and charged up the ice beam. The beam fired a loud shot and the recoil knocked over 982456. As he lifted his head he watched as the orb of energy distorted the air around it as it sped towards its target. He had missed the metroid by several inches. The orb of energy crashed against the wall behind the metroid and covered a large portion of the wall in a sheet of solid ice. 982456 regained his footing and took several more shots with the ice beam; they were all evaded easily by the nimble metroid.
Finally, the Metroid made a quick lunge for the scientist he had been chasing. The scientist fell to the ground as the metroid latched only the skull of its prey. 982456 could only watch in horror as his co-worker's flesh melted as he in screamed in agony. Soon all the metroid left was a cloudy green gooey slime, which dripped off the metroid's mandibles.
With renewed determination, 982456 took several more shots at the metroid. The metroid responded with a loud shriek as if it was letting out a battle cry and charged at 982456. Alarmed by the Metroid's speed 982456 took a stepped back and fired franticly at the metroid taking no attempt to aim. The metroid swiftly drew closer to its prey as it dodged the ice beam continuously. The metroid finally rose high into the air and made a downward swoop towards 982456. All 982456 could was fire one last shot before he crouched onto the ground awaiting his death. He heard what sounded like the Ice Beam hitting the wall, he had missed, and with all hope lost started to cry and plead for mercy. He was then startled by a loud shattering noise to above him. As he opened his eyes he found himself rained upon by shards of the now frozen and shuddered metroid. He let out a large laugh as he realized he did hit the metroid with that last shot after all.
Just as he was finally relived and feeling optimistic the ominous tone of the speaker came to life.
"Intruder now Identified as the hunter has now breached Sector 4, all military staff is requested to report to sector 4 immediately. All research staff is requested to continue studies."
"Damn, the hunter shouldn't of gotten this far" 982456 said to himself. "I wish I could find a safe hiding place until the threat is gone, but I have to watch over these damn Metroids!"
Shaken and only with his rookie co-worker left, 982456 had no choice but to continue studying the Metroids and praying for the hunter to not make it any further into the complex.
