The Zero Factor...
Chapter 1 - Hellish Planet.
The smell of musty damp air filled her nose through her helmet, She stood there over the dead carcass of that mutated wolve. Damn... She though to herself, her mind racing from one thing to another, Why was she here? She thought she was done after dealing with those god-forsaken metroid. But No, She continued her job, she needed the money to live. Well, no, she didn't need money. She needed a life. And this was her life, the life of a bounty hunter, a cold blooded killer. She breathed in heavily, hearing the light footfalls of more of those god awful wolves. She turned around quickly, seeing the light gleam of their firery eyes in the darkness of this cavern, being deep in the bowels of the planet she turned once again, dashing through this cavern quickly. Moving down as it seemed to get darker and darker, no sounds now except the light chinking of her armour. She began to catch her breath again, but this confused her, there were no monsters or beasts trying to kill her or stop her from getting to the treasure she was to seek out and destroy. This treasure which the man said would 'Kill all human life as we know it!'.
She narrowed her eyes, stopping abruptly. Damn! I didn't notice!! She thought to herself, no..The ground had been shaking, not just because of her running, something big was up ahead, Something with alot of power and energy, maybe something that could...could...kill her!? No, That couldn't be! She has never been defeated, the only enemy she has had trouble with was Mother Brain, but she destroyed her. With the assistance of the baby metroid, Even so, she needed help. Maybe she wasn't strong enough? Maybe this would be her death bed!? She shook her head quickly, No! I won't be defeated! She thought and began to dash down the narrow cavern again, now entirely in black, only the infrared spectrum from her visor making it so she could see in this eternal blackness of the planet, her shoulders moving quickly as her legs moved at an amazing rate, as a small light began to grow until it was surrounding her and she was out in a large opening the roof of that cave being very high, a few hundred feet above her, the room being a perfect circle, several hundred feet in diameter also, there were three paths for her to choose, two of which were blocked by fallen earth and rocks. The two that were blocked said 'Zein' and 'Io' the third accessible path said above it 'Zero'. What is..'Zero'? She found herself thinking this over and over, her interest perked, she knew now that some type of being must have been here before hand and had made this cavern, she then ran down the corridor that said 'Zero' as some small little robots that appeared to be wearing hard-hats and having a green plus sign on them sat along the edges, being out of power.
Finally she reached the end of that long corridor, blinking as she stood in that small room, a large capsule was there, a deep black capsule, with a bluish forcefield containing whatever was inside, it was completely opaque so she couldn't see what it was, she moved forwards a few steps, looking up at the capsule then down at a small control system next tot he capsule, there was one button..'Release' it said, but should she? She then began to charge her Cannon, the energy building up in the barrel as it began to glow slightly, she was ready for it, She pressed the button and slid backwards, aiming her cannon at the capsule as the forcefield fell...
Stay tuned for Chapter 2.
