Hunt or be Hunted
Chapter 2

A small yellow-and-orange gunship landed just outside of the remains of Rupture Farms. Suddenly, a hatch on the top of the ship opened up and a creature came out of it. The creature had a body shaped slightly similar to that of a Mudokon's but less exaggerated. It was also clad in a huge, bulky, reinforced cybernetic suit with a gun attached to its right arm. Mullock grinned at the sight of it.

[Molluck: Ahh... Samus, 'bout time you got here!

[Samus: Shut up, fathead, and tell me who my target is!

Molluck grinned happily.

[Molluck: Ah! Right down to business! That's what I like about you, you-

Suddenly, Samus shoved her gun-arm in Molluck's face.

[Samus: If you want to keep your head, you'll shut up now and give me my mission!

Mullock's eyes grew large. The Slig snickered.

[Molluck: Uh... Erm.. Hehe... Okay, you're the boss!

Molluck turned around and grabbed a piece of paper out of the Slig's hand and showed it to Samus. It was a wanted poster of a scrawny, 3-fingered blue creature with big eyes, a big head, and an odd orange-and-purple striped ponytail. It was holding a card which read "Hello! My name is Abe!"

Samus glared at Molluck.

[Samus: This!? THIS!?! This is what you want me to kill!?! I eat bigger things for breakfast than this little puke!

[Molluck: Trust me, he may look little, but he's a menace to society!

[Samus: I couldn't care less! Can't you just sic your little squid-faced goon over there on him?

Samus pointed over at the Slig, noticing that it was holding a machine gun.

[Molluck: Trust me, we tried, but our powers are useless against this monstrosity!

The Slig looked over at Molluck sadly.

[Slig: Wha... Whadd'ya mean, boss!? Ya' sayin' I'm no good no more?

Molluck glared at the Slig.

[Molluck: That's exactly what I'm saying! Now shutup!!

The Slig lowered its head. Molluck looked back over at Samus.

[Samus: I'm not takin' the job!

[Molluck: WHAT!?!

[Samus: You heard me! I expected something big! Not this weird little turd you gave me!

[Molluck: Hey you're being paid, ain'tchya'!?!

Samus fell silent for a second.

[Samus: I suppose... Well, I'll want double my pay!

[Molluck: WHAT!?!?!?!?

[Samus: You heard me! I've got a thousand better things to do right now than chase down some little bug eyed freak! But, if I HAVE to, then I want double my payment!

[Molluck: NO!! If anything, I should pay you half! That is, if it's so easy for you...

Samus aimed her gun at Molluck's face yet again.

[Molluck: But, then again, if you REALLY want double, go ahead!

[Samus: That's what I thought you said...

Samus pulled her gun away from Molluck's kisser.

[Molluck: Now, your target can be found-

[Samus: I'll find him...

With that, Samus walked off. Molluck stood with a vacant expression on his face.

[Molluck: ...Well that could have gone better...

Molluck walked off as the Slig stood glaring at where Samus had walked off.

[Slig: You'll pay for this Samus Aran, you'll pay dearly! NOBODY TAKES A SLIG'S JOB AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!!

Molluck at the Slig.

[Molluck: Shut up!
