Mission: 4 Chapter: 3 Series: 1

Begin Transmittion

The Dark region of the temple now has guardians. Guardians that aren't from Tallon IV, but was sent by an unknown entity. The entity was in another dimension, sending a distress signal to a Lyrval and a Bounty Hunter, and gives the Captain and his partner immunity unlike any other. Now, with Sesaka with the guardian Matrix and the Dark Beasts, she wonders where had Samus gone off to, and why.

While Sesaka rests with Guardian Matrix, the Dark Beasts guarded every inch of the temple for prey items and intruders. Every intruder they seek, they hunt them down with unimaginable powers. The temple is plenty than the ASPs ever thought of, not even the captain, can know of the Eco Temple. Fountains, waterfalls, springs, and a lot of rooms in underground. There, the creatures and Guardians stay and protect…


All through the night

I'll be awake and I'll be with you

All through the night

This precious time when time is new

Oh, all through the night today

Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past, we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start, the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end

All through the night

Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back

All through the night

They have forgotten what by day they lack

Oh, under those white street lamps,

There is a little chance they may see

We have no past, we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start, the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end

Oh, the sleep in your eyes is enough

Let me be there, let me stay there a while

We have no past, we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start, the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start, the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end


Sesaka starts to have another of her tragic dreams. There she saw 2 figures and they look like birds. Chozo maybe? No, she thought. Their beaks are much longer and wore plated robes. Behind them is this mysterious figure that gave out this mission to beat a monster, far away behind the temple. "We must hurry or it will be too late. Too late for all living man and beasts in this universe!" The winged one said to the others. Then, everything dissolved into blackness. She looked through and tried to touch everything she could. She felt metal bars in front of her. She's now in a cage in an ASP organization hideout. She tried to speak, but came out as a guttural growl. She looked at herself and saw herself as a Dark Beast. With that happening, her cockiness has gotten the best of her, and she felt confident, knowing of what powers this body has. A Space Pirate is coming and she took a swipe through the cage, throwing the Space Pirate back into the darkness in which it spawned. Then more shadows came from the darkness. Suddenly her ancient creature self felt nervous, like that of a child in the waiting room of a hospital, getting ready for a booster shot. Ears lowered and heavily built arms spread out as a sign of warning to the ASPs. She swiped again and felt a force field. Then, she had noticed the cage was built invulnerable. The leading Space Pirate deactivated the shield and extended the stubby middle finger to the lock and it opened. She tried swiping at the Hybrid, but she couldn't move, and is paralyzed. The Hybrid came more into view. Long tusks on each side of the head, a 3rd eye on the forehead, and more hair-tentacles them the other Hybrids. Sesaka fought against the stunning action, but failed as the strange Hybrid grabbed her chest. "Come with me, and we shall rule…" The hybrid whispered in Sesaka's ear. The pain struck her chest and she screamed, feeling herself melting, dissolving, and stunned…

Sesaka snapped awake, screaming, but her mind isn't awake. She immediately leapt into a fountain in the next room to get that burning feeling off from the nightmare. She panted and shook herself off. In awhile she got her conscience back and look at herself. She has no stripes and she looks a little heavier. She starting to feel her head and she felt 2 knobs that were horns. Then awhile her body reverted with stripes and normal figure and she went back asleep on the rim of the quiet fountain.

Probes scan throughout the area, silently. Through trees, rocky hills, and lakes, but cannot find any trace of footsteps or thermal readings. "They can't just disappear out of thin air! Fools!" The ASP leader turned to the Hybrids and Troopers in the cockpit. The captain of the hideous crew pressed a bottom on the arm of his captain's chair. "Captain Killiam report. Scans reading show nothing on my visual screens." He turned to the abused crew, abused by Killiam's ruthless leadership. "Unit 665! Continue the search while I check on my experiment! If you don't I'll feed you to the sand beetles!" "Yes, captain!" One of the Hybrids took control of the watching. He went to the main room of the lab and there stood a glass cylinder with a creature frozen inside. "My hatchling is growing at a rapid rate. Soon, my warrior…" Captain Killiam of the ASP pressed a button on a panel in front of the monster's chamber. Above a device with blue-glowing substance came descending from the ceiling and the hatch of the huge chamber opened up. The device and the chamber meet and attached themselves. "…With the help of Phazon, this Unit will be much powerful than it was, long ago. When it was beaten by…the bounty hunter."

/INCOMING TRANSMITTION/ "Whatever, who goes there?" A hologram of a single eye showed behind him. "Is our ultimate warriors ready Killiam?" Yeah, yeah, I'm hurrying on it, Cyclops. He's just a "son" that somebody had killed and reborn. I was going to do the execution but she…she!" "Enough, we need that Phazonite ready so we can dominate this planet." The holographic eye phases out, leaving the ruthless captain alone once more. "I'm getting impatient! This is slower than that Hybrid android that doesn't know anything more than numbers…" He left the Laboratory and into the cockpit. "Anyone has something for me? Status report!" The female Hybrid 664 responded. " I just found a strange temple over at the North East section away from Magmoor Caverns." "Good, my pet!" Answered Killiam. "Send in troops and let them await my orders! I'll go with them to…investigate. Now get to work!" "Yes sir!" The Hybrids said in unison.

Morning approached and Sesaka has found a new place to rest other than the fountain. She got an unexpected awakening from the sun and turned her back against it. She placed her paw against something firm and slightly furry, knowing that is Matrix. The mass shifted in which makes Sesaka roll off the animal. "Matrix…you're bigger than I thought." Sesaka stirred up half- awake and climbed back on the back of the head. "I can't believe of what had just happened last night." Sesaka yawned. "What did you say to the Dark Beasts?" The mass shifted again then it stood up. "Whooa!" She toppled over and landed on the mossy stone on her bottom." Okay, okay, I'm awake! Hehe…" She groomed herself my licking her paw and brushing it against her ear. She shook herself awake to see not Matrix, but the 2 creatures from last night. "Oh…my…God!" She said under her breath as the smaller Dark Beast stirred up and looked at her, menacingly. The two looked at her and the large creature sniffed her way too close to her stomach. "Meep! I'm…not…food…" A lick from a bristled tongue woke the Lyrval up completely. "Meep! Man, I might have trouble with these guys, now what am I gonna do? Heh." She said nervously as she looked behind her as the small D.Beast that is Dax perked his ears up in interest. "I'm not that tasty…hey! Careful…hehe" D.Jak beast came to the younger creature and nudged him. The younger Dark Beast then lowered its head and grunted. "Is it me, or they are not eating me?" Then she remembered at the water fountain that she saw herself change. She then saw Matrix amongst with the 2 Dark Beasts. "Thank goodness Matrix." Matrix came up to her and sat next to her while she watched in wonder. "Hey, Matrix. You know where's Samus?" The Dark cat guardian lowered its head and ears in a guilty position. "I don't know neither. Maybe that spirit had sent her off to somewhere in the bottom again." The 2 Dark Beasts' ears perked up and got into a readying position. Crouching down, ears up, big talons ready and slightly grinning through their Neanderthal-like face expressions. "Looks like they know!" Sesaka grinned at Matrix. "RRRAAAORRR!" Without any delay the 2 creatures went off to the bottom of the temple. Matrix had let her ride him through the whole way from the hideout to the warm bottom of what it is Magmoor Caverns. Astounding that the Dark Beasts can withstand heat from geysers and hot springs. Sesaka, thought she would be fried in the heat, it seems like the heat had no effect on her either. They leaps through geysers and rocks with great agility that will even make Tarzan jealous.

As soon as they reach their destination, a great disturbance is in the air. Someone or something is coming. The lava stirs up and makes waves as suddenly as they got there. Two, snake-like heads poked up out of the lava. The Dark Beasts went into their fighting positions as Metal Heads come out of nowhere along with the snake like creatures, called Magmoor. "Oh, wait a minute! Metal Heads don't belong in this planet! Who might've brought them here?" Sesaka said confused. But no matter what the unexplained approach, the Dark Beasts lunged at them and attacked. They're agility and super strength made them ultimate hunters. They pounced on the victim then lunged at them for a good swipe with their thick claws. Their horns made even the lunges deadly as it impales the monsters in the belly. They made their finishing move by grabbing the battered victim and slamming it to the ground like a wrestler. It's all about the sinewy strength that makes them perfect hunters. Dark Beast can be known to make a car fly 10 feet with one swipe over at the wastelands. Sesaka mustered up her courage and jumped on one of the Magmoor's head, brought her double laser pistols out, and shoot at the eye. "Can…you…smell what the Lyrval is cookin?" The Magmoor roared and shifted away from the claws of the Dark Beasts and shot up to the ceiling, willing to impale the Lyrval on the stalactites. Immediately, she leaped off the cranium and landed on dry land while watching the monster smashed its head on the cave ceiling, in which caused the lava pool to cave in with the 2 Magmoors. Smaller Metal Heads came, but their no match anyways.

There, the Darks eat, using their claws as knife for cutting and fork for digging out the good stuff. They even rip some meat with their fangs. While Matrix and the others dig in for the feast, Sesaka winced at the sight. "I had never seen Metal Head entrails that close before…well, there goes my breakfast." She started to have the urge to eat the meat. She can now imagine it as sushi. "Might as well dig in!" Without noticing it, she ate an arm of one of those Hora Quan, or nicknamed Metal Head. After the feast, the creatures groomed themselves from the vital fluids of the Metal Heads, proud of their hunt; they went back up to the temple.

Snow…lots of snow and icy debris surround the lost Space Pirate research center. Below, are frozen wastelands and caves of ice and frozen lakes. A figure ran from cave to cave and fought off the adolescent Metroids still inhabiting there. She climbed to the frozen Chozo Temple and found the secret message behind the winged Chozo fountain and gave a huge blast with the Super Missile. In the darkness, Samus puts on the thermal visor and scanned the area. Something had caught her eye and she had observed. On the left side if a statue that looks like a Dark Beast. On the right is of what it looks like another winged Chozo fountain, but shaped differently. On the center is 2 Chozo-like beings and a peacock-like creature that's definitely not Chozo. "I can't believe it…Tallon IV's in distress again!"

After the feast they had come back at the hideout in the temple. Sesaka haven't found Samus yet, but she never gives up the search for her. The Dark Beasts watch guard again and they immediately saw intruders heading towards the Chozo Temple that's in front of this Eco Temple. The 2 Dark Beasts, Dark Jak and the young Dark Dax, had a strategy to hunt the ASP. They went back to the bottom while Sesaka and Matrix watch guard, thinking that the 4-legged partners can patrol the area. They crawled down the lower levels of the chambers of where it's dark. The geysers steamed up the area in a fog and the sewer-like passageways have a lot of room to put on a good battle. Above, there's a catwalk with bars that cross diagonally, great as lookouts. They started to head up the catwalk, scaling a rocky wall to be well hidden for an ambush. But all of the sudden they heard the intruder. "Stay here, meaningless troops, I'll go and look!" The ruthless and postal Captain can be heard. It's too late to get above the battlefield. Killiam charged through, bellowing as he shot at the Dark Beasts. The creatures snarled and dropped from the rocky walls and went into the shadows. "Come here and fight, you cowards!" Killiam chased the Dark Beast into another chamber, even darker than before. The Space Pirate cannot see anything in the pitch black, but the Dark Beasts see well with those large, blackish eyes. Killiam made another gruesome bellow again and blindly fired at every direction. Fortunately, the two Darks hid with their camouflaging powers of invisibility and far away from gunfire. Killiam ran out of ammo, but before he reaches his ammo box to charge his weapon, the 2 beasts strike. "RRRRAOORR!" D.Jak swiped the torso while D.Dax goes after the twisted crab-pincher of a hand that reached for the ammo. The impact knocked the ammo out of the ugly hand and the ASP Captain was flown back and hit a wall, but he still fought like a mad berserker. He swinged his gun furiously, but D.Jak caught it and broke it in half with just his two mighty thick, clawed hands. With every impact from the creatures there's a flicker here and there of Dark Eco energy. Killiam had underestimated the unknown that came and hunted him. Thick, green, slimy goo oozed from where the Captain was laying there. The Dark Beasts has won. They tried eating the Space Pirate, but the goo oozing from the scratches and horn impalements of the alien are as foul as his attitude towards everything and his crew, so the Dark Beasts groomed each other, usually the claws and cheeks, and left.

Moments later, the barely, Killiam crawled, looking like a fried crab dinner expired and with Nickelodeon Slime trailing behind. He pulled out his communicator and made his distress call. "…You fools...cough...come…here…quick! Ing Soldiers…"
