This is my first attempt at a fanfic, so please no flaming. The story takes place way after Samus dies, so she is not in it...
Chapter 1: Prolouge
I entered the building. It was a cold, drab place... normally. Today, however, was different. The hunters were all excited, seeing as a new mission had came up, and it was for all of us.
Wait, I know. You're wondering what this is, right? I'll give you the background info. The year is 21X5, and Samus Aran is dead. Old age, of course. Anyways, I'm part of an organization known as the BHW, or "Bounty Hunters Wanted". Here, we basically do what Samus did, with a bit more emphasis on the money, of course. The leader, Hyrule, is nice, never strict. We basically get missions, do them, get cash, buy new "toys" to kill things with. It's really a good life.
About me. My name is Trexxen. I come from a race known as the Plutonians, basically humans that are so well adapted to cold that, when matter-antimatter fuel was possible, they went to Pluto to live. Some people think I'm as cold-blooded as the chilly nitrogen lakes that dot my planet, but I'm truly not. See, I'm 13. The youngest hunter there is.
The Plutonians were very adept at swordsmanship. Their weapon of choice was the beam sword. I, at the age of 11, redesigned them to be capable of holding many types of energy, thus giving them the adaptability of an arm cannon. This form is today's standard. Anyways, my people sent me to the Intergalactic Swordfighting Competition at age 12, and I went through the rounds without being touched... until the last round.
The last round was where I first met Hyrule. He was a worthy opponent, someone who's sword skill matched my own. We fought valiantly, and in the end, both fell unconcious, resulting in a draw. When he heard that I was the person who standardized today's beam sword, he offered to give me a place on the Bounty Hunters Wanted. Now I sell swords and use them, too.
Anyways, back to the mission. Hyrule spoke.
"This planet has been identified as the source of all Phazon. We have to destroy it. The galactic federation is bringing in over 500,000 tons of nukes. That should be enough. We have two objectives:
1. Destroy any lifeforms that may be a threat to the GF soldiers.
2. Make a way to the Core of the planet, so that all of the nukes may be deposited there.
Any questions?"
I heard Shadow Ninja grumble, "I hate long flights...hope the pay's good."
Messenger raised a hand and spoke. "One of us should go out and set up camp. I vote to go."
Hyrule said,"Very well. Tomorrow, the rest of us leave."
The next day, I entered my ship for the good, long trip. "Coordinates set. Traveling to planet...er,this needs a name."
I then thought of one...Codename: Hydra.
"Good thing I have a phazon suit..."
