Ok, this chapter is going to be longer than the others, and I'm gonna try and make them all longer from now on, I realize that the're short...
well here goes...
Chapter Three: On The Hunt
------------------------
Samus lowered her ship down into the clearing. She left the ship hovering ten feet above the ground, shields up, and auto defenses on. "Now then, time to find my prey." She said as she walked forward. It was a large jungle planet, many strange animals everywhere, she started scanning them, letting her visor take in the data, making notes, just in case she ever ran into them again.
Her visor kept on picking up the same strange energy signal, coming from around fifty feet below the ground. 'There must be a cave or something below here' she thought to herself as she looked for anything that might be an entrance to a cave. There was a strangley discolored rock on one of the walls, a quick analysis with her visor showed that it was much weaker than the rock sorounding it. "Bingo." She said as she blasted it with a powerful missle.
Inside it was dark and moist, she looked around, but there was almost no light. She quickly activated her gun, letting the energy flowing inside of it act as a lantern.
As soon as the light spread, she heard multiple shreaks. "What!" She yelled as she looked up, at least 10 shreik bats dropped from the ceiling, and charged at her. She quickly blasted 7 of them, dropping them out of the air, but the remaining three rammed into her suit, lowering her shields slightly.
'I'll need some energy to refill my shield' she thought as she continued forward. In front of her was a wall that loked to be caved in, except for a small opening towards the bottom. "looks like a good opportunity to use my morph ball." She quickly activated her ball mode and rolled through the opening, bombing the rocks in her way. She deactivated her ball form at the end of the tunnel. Then quickly ducked behind some rocks.
Five pirates were standing around, talking, "So, do you think the new SR-388 and Zeebes projects are gonna go through?" One asked the other. "Of course, Brayo already got permission from Ridley and Kraid, he's gonna leave for zeebes in about a month, then he'll inform the pirates there to continue the metroid experiments."
"Finally, we'll be unstopable with the metroid under our control." One of them said cockily. They continued to talk about random stuff, nothing important. 'I'm sick of waiting' the hunter thought to herself. She aimed her gun at one of the pirates, and fired off a plast of energy, right into the first pirates stomach. But at the exact instant she fired her blast, another beam was fired from the opposite side of the room. Two pirates simultaneously dropped.
Samus jumped out from her position, just as another person jumped out on the other side. She quickly blasted a two of the pirates with a missle, as the other person riddled the remaining pirate with several energy shots.
The five pirates were down, now Samus stood facing someone in a Chozo power suit, almost identical to hers. Except instead of orange, there was dark green, and instead of yellow, red. The visor plate was black, so Samus could not see this person's face.
"Sorry but this is my job." the person said in a clearly male voice. It was a slightly familiar voice, but Samus could not place it. "No way, I'm taking in this pirate scum." Samus argued. "Ficety." He said humorously. "Out of my way." he said as he pushed her aside with his hand.
Samus grabbed his arm with her non gunned hand, and tossed him accross the room. He slammed into the ground, causing dirt to be thrown up and dust to shroud him. Three blue beams fired out of the dust. Samus dodged them and retaliated by shooting off several of her own.
Her opponent jumped into the air, over them, and fired off two missles in Samus direction. She switched to wave fire and shot them down with her wider range. "Not too bad." the man said as he shot off a charged blast towards the ceiling. It caused the rock to cave in, along with various pipes that had been installed by the pirates (plumbing). Samus jumped back, grabbing a led pipe as she did. She then charged forward at her counterpart, swinging the pole with inhuman speed. The man put up his gun in defense, blocking it. Samus swung a downard blow, but it was caught by her foe's gun once again.
She would swing, and slice, but he matched her move for move. "You're not too bad yourself, but can you handle this." Samus stated as she fired her grapple off at one of the poles sticking out of the ground. She swung around it in a quick semicircle, chucking the pipe at the end of the spin. The pipe flew amazingly fast with the added force of her momentum. It slammed right into the mans chest, knocking him to the ground. But he did not stay there, he used his own grapple to hook onto a pipe in the ceiling. He then used it to swing forward, delivering a powerful kick to Samus head.
She was sent flying, but still not down. "Hmm..." She sighed as she sharged up her energy beam. Her foe rushed at her, moving far faster than any average human could. He was nearly five feet from Samus when she let off a the beam, coupled with a missle. The blast slammed into Terran, sending him back to the other side of the room. But because Samus was so close to him, the blast knocked her back as well.
Both of them got up quickly, "That was pretty bold, charging at me when I was gonna fire off a missle." Samus complimented. "I didn't think you'd fire on me that close." he admitted. "Shall we continue." The hunter challenged as she switched her beam back to normal.
"Sure, but let's try this a little differently." He stated as he unstraped something from his side. A small energy knife protruded from the handle he was holding. It was about 8 inches long, making him very deadly. Samus smirked and pulled out hers, an orange 8 inch blade was now vibrating in her hand. She charged at her foe, swinging a swift slice towards his head. He quickly ducked down, and brought up his in an upward slice. Samus jumped back several inches, and attempted a horizontal slice, which was blocked by his parry.
As she drew her blade back, he used the opportunity to deliver a kick to her midsection. Samus fell back, but quickly countered by firing an energy beam at his chest. The blast knocked him back, sending the energy knife clattering to the ground.
Samus got up quickly, pointing her gun at the man on the ground. "Who are you?" She demanded. "Who want's to know?" He replied.
"Terran!?!" Samus half exclaimed, half guessed. "Samus!?!" he said in a simalar tone. She quickly helped him up to his feet.
"What are you doing here?" She inquired. "I don't just help Bounty hunters, Samus, I am one, I'm the best there is, well, I was." he replied. "It seems that you make a one heck of a Hunter Samus, I'm very impressed." Terran said ernestly. "I got lucky, you made a costly mistake." She stated.
------------------------------------
"So you were raised by the chozo after Pirates killed your parents?" Terran asked. "Well, yes, it sounds far fetched I know." Samus said jokeingly. "Actualy, no, it doesn't, my parents were killed by pirates also, but I never lived with chozo, I visited them no Zeebes once, they gave me this Vanya suit." He explained. "Strange, I didn't think there were other chozo suits, mine is the Varia model." Samus said as she stood up from her seat on the rocks.
"Well, that's my story, and apparently it's very similar to yours, so, what do you say we help each other out here, you know, team up, it's better than us continuing to fight about it." Samus suggested. "Why not, sounds fun." Terran answered.
-----------------------------------------
Samus and Terran continued to hunt down the pirates, they searched the entire cave, they only found around 8 pirates though, quickly disposed off. They also saw several dead bounty hunters, people who hadn't been so succesful. "This is what I meant, these are some dangerous pirates." Terran stated as worked on the lock to a door. "It's stuck!" He complained. "Move." Samus interjected as she fired a rocket off at the door, blowing it apart. "Right, good job..." Teran trailed off as Samus walked through her newly created door way.
Inside the next room they ran into several more pirates, and some scientist. They were all hudled around a large specimen container. In the container was a strange creature, something Samus had never seen before. It was about 1 meter around, and about 4 feet tall. No mouth, but sharp mandibles, and an energy siphon coming from in between them. The shape of it resembled a mushroom, only it was transparent, she could see the veins and the organs of the animal. "What is that?" Samus asked quietly. "It's a Metroid!" Terran replied in shock. "A what?" the hunter inquired. "What was that." One of the scientist stated as he turned around.
"Intruders, stop them!" One scientist commanded. "Unleash the metroid!" Another ordered. The metroid's tank opened, releasing the flying creature. It saw the pirates around it, and instantly attached itself to them, one by one it drained them of their energy, untill they were all dead. "Uh oh, after a metroid eats it allways gets stronger." Terran said as he took aim at the floating monster.
It had grown at least a foot since it was let out. Samus did as Terran did, and prepared for the attack. The metroid launched itself at her, flying straight for her head. She quickly unleashed a volley of beams. Each pushed the metroid back, but did not hurt it, infact, they energized it.
The creature then turned and attacked Terran, who quickly dropped into morph ball mode, and let off a bomb, blasting the metroid back several feet. "Hit it with a missle!" He yelled to Samus, she quickly complied and launched a powerful shot at the metroid, splattering it against a wall. "What was that thing?" Samus asked as she entered the battle data into her scanner.
"A metroid, powerful creatures that feed on peoples life force, with each dosage of energy they recieve, they become stronger." Terran explained. "They have amazing energy properties, and can even change form with enough energy, that was a Siphon metroid, there are also regular metroids, Mochtroids, and Fission metroids." "I've also heard stories about one called a dragon metroid." He finished.
"Hmmm... I think I remember hearing something about them from Te once." Samus said. "You probably did, the metroids were the creatures that nearly anihalated the Chozo years ago, supposedly the chozo had something to do with them being created, for a use, then the metroids turned on their creaters." Terran told her as he walked up to the next door.
'Well then, if the metroids hurt the Chozo, then I simply can't let the metroids stay around, or they might do it again' the hunter thought to herself. "Well Terran, shall we continue our hunt?" Samus asked lightheartedly. "Of course, after you madame." the man said as he faked bowed to her. "I'll let that one slide." She said to him as she walked by.
