I opened my eyes when I heard knocking on my tube and groaned to see my mother there outside. "Come on Chris, we just picked up a distress call from a freighter ship orbiting Tallon IV." I pushed the door to my tube open and stepped out before stretching. I was 14 and had a cool as hell woman for a mom. 'Wait a sec. Isn't Tallon IV the place where she? No, can't be the same place.' I was shaken out of my thoughts when my mom walked into my room in her Varia Suit just as she was attatching her gun arm. Her suit was orange and a kind of golden yellow color with domed shoulders. I guessed we were close to the freighter and said, "Give me 5." She nodded and walked out of my room. I yawned whil I walked over to my closet and opened it. Inside were some regular clothes then my energy suit which was black and crimson. My mother Samus Aran had gotten it for me when I passed a test of hers a few days ago. The test was to defeat a hard as hell monster with no armor. It seemed easy enough because it looked defenseless, but the thing could shoot acid, burrow underground, and teleport to places. I spent three hours trying to kill the thing and finally killed it with a missle. My energy suit was clean and shined like new, mostly because it was new, and could carry 35 missles. It had an energy beam, wave beam, and ice beam combos with the missles, and a grappler hook.
I finished attatching my gun arm and walked to the door. I pressed a button and it slid open with a slight whoosh and I stepped out into the tight corridor of the ship. I couldn't believe how my mom could walk down the hall in that Varia Suit of hers and fit when I could hardly fit, but she did it. I carried my helmet under my free arm as I walked down the corridor and to the small control room of the ship and saw my mom talking to the computer she called 'Eve'. "Hello Eve." I said as I sat down in the left chair which was a few feet away from the chair my mom was sitting in and looked out at the stars that were going by. "Hello Chris. I've downloaded the map of the freighter into both of your suits. You each have three energy tanks, so be careful. If there are Pirates in there, they're going to be ruthless. Samus, be careful. You too Chris." Eve said as I cringed at when she said Pirates. They'd killed my father a few months before I was born and I was mad when I finally found out when I was 7. "We'll be careful Eve. Chris, we'll be at the freighter in two minutes, so get ready." Samus said to me before standing and kissing my cheek. She pulled her helmet on her head and walked to the small elevator under the hatch. I pulled my own helmet on and sighed as I walked over to the elevator. Samus patted me on my shoulder and pushed the up button on the elevator when we docked the freighter.
Samus went up and looked around then motioned for me to come up. I pressed the up button on the elevator and went up ontop of the ship. I watched my mom do about 45 front flips when she jumped off the ship and muttered "Show off." I jumped off of the ship which rocked when I did and onto the freighter beside my mom and looked at a force feild infront of us. "So, how do we get through that?" I switched to my scan visor and looked around. I switched back to my combat visor and looked at a bright blue and gold ship which had docked beside ours. "Not them again. I thought you told them to quit following us Chris?" Samus looked over at me as three people got out of the ship that just docked beside ours. "Maybe they just got the distress signal like us?" I watched as they walked over to us with the bigger ones in silver Varia Suits, and the smaller one in a silver Energy suit. The girl in their family I liked a lot. We usually talked when our parents went out of the ships or were asleep. "Hello Samus. Chris. I guess it's good to see you again. I see Chris passed your test. Nice suit he has." The man said to us. Samus nodded. "I guess we should work together since we're all here." My mom looked at the other family before shooting two glowing red orbs on pillars on each side of the force feild and deactivated it. The woman shrugged and followed Samus up a ramp and assisted her in deactivating a second force feild. "How're you doing Judy? I'm guessing your husband still doesn't know you're cheating on him?" Samus said as she opened the door into the freighter. Judy was mad but didn't say anything. "John still doesn't know that I'm cheating on him. He's too busy upgrading his weapons to care though." Judy said with a kind of sadness in her voice. John walked into the hall behind them with me and their daughter following. The floor rumbled under me and their daughter when John opened the next door and collapsed under us. "Chris! Damnit!" My mom ran to the edge of the hole but saw nothing but black. Judy walked over to the edge of the pit and called down. "Lauren! Lauren, please answer me!" Judy dropped onto her knees and started to cry as John walked over to them.

I sat up and groaned before looking around. I couldn't see a thing since the room was black so I flipped on my flash light.I turned around until I saw Lauren a few feet away unconcious. 'Shit.' I moved over to her and took her helmet off after taking off my gun arm and heltmet. She groaned and looked up at me. "What happened?" She said as she sat up and looked around after flipping on her flash light. "I don't know. I happy you're alive." I said before kissing her cheek. Lauren blushed and kissed me back. I stood and helped her up. "Let's get out of here." I picked my helmet and put it on before attatching my gun arm. It was set on the energy beam. I turned to Lauren and walked to the door before opening it. I walked into the room slowly and looked around. I flipped off my flash light and switched to my thermal visor and some shapes that looked like. 'Damnit.' Space Pirates.
