Return to Aether

Data log entry: after the mission on Aether, I thought I was finished. But months have passed since, and now Aether is again in danger and I must investigate on what is happening there. But I can't go alone, I am being sent to earth to find my brother, Erik Samus, to help me.

These are the last words in Samus Aron's data log before she went searching for her brother.

Samus landed on earth in front of a house and reached for the door bell, but it was stopped by a voice saying "Do you mind?"

Samus waited in front of the door for a while listening to dreadful noises inside, like someone was banging into things. Finally the door opened, obviously Erik Samus.

"Who are you" said Erik

"Erik" said Samus "It's me your…."

"Wait, wait, wait, let me guess. You are a person from who-knows-where here to interrupt important business I am willing to take care of in the shortest amount of time as possible"

"No, Erik, it's me, Aron, your sister"

"Oh, why didn't you say so? That name does not appeal to me. Good bye"

Erik almost slammed the door but Samus stopped it before he could.

"It's important" said Samus

Erik finally let her in.

"So, Aron" said Erik "what importancy is it that requires my assistance. Oh, I know you came so you can do some stupid thing and when it's over you can treat me like the childhood days"

"So, Erik, your still stuck to that k-21 thing are you"

"Of course I am, ever since they invited us to live in that pathetic earth colony you call k-21. I never agreed to go I even warned you. But, noooooooo you didn't listen, you never listened to me, no one listened to me, not Mom, not Dad, not you, not even my closest friends listened to Erik Samus"

"Why did you not want to go?"

"Why? Why? I have many good reasons, I could go on forever telling you the reasons, but I'll just tell you the basics. 1) It was in a dangerous place. It was like the Jamestown colony, but enough about the history lesson. 2) They required ridiculous rules. For instance, your last name becomes your first name and your first name becomes your last. I wouldn't want to go around skipping and hopping saying 'OOOOO look at me look at me my names not Erik Samus any more my name is now Samus Erik' I never wanted that but you sure did, oh so called Samus Aron. 3) It was open for space pirates which is probably the number uno reason why I didn't go. So space pirates destroyed k-21 you some how in some way survived, became a bounty hunter, saving planet to planet from space pirates, is now on a mission where you need my important presence, so you came back here, knocked on my door, expecting me to come with you and run a few errands, and then turns out that I barley did a thing so you drive me back here and do about your business. Well, guess what, I would love to but I can't go risking my life and doing what yooooou wanna do. In case you were not paying any attention to what I just said like always I will say every thing I said crammed into one word, no"

"There's money involved: $20,000,000,000"

"Where are we going to go?"

An hour later, Samus threw a luggage case in her ship.

"You didn't say anything about packing" Erik whined

"Oh, shut up, Erik" said Samus "If you're going on a mission with me you're staying with me. Besides, I highly doubt you took good care of yourself"

"What are you talking about? I took great care of myself, did you notice how good my home looked"

"From the look of it, it was atrocious. If Mom saw it she would agree"

"Well, Mom is dead so there is nothing you can do about it"

"Whatever, just get in"

They went in the ship and set off.

When they were in space, Erik started making weird noises.

"Erik" said Samus

Erik ignored and continued making noises.

"Erik"

Still, Erik continued.

"ERIK"

"Do you mind? I'm in a trance of fear"

"Shut up, stop making noises, and listen to me"

"You never let me do anything, even if it's right, not that what I was just doing was right"

"It's important"

"I'm all ears"

"Since you are coming with me, you will be called Samus Erik"

"Wait, stop right there I know where this is going"

"(Sigh) We are going to Aether, a legendary planet in which I have been before. Strange things are happening on that planet again. And I have been sent to investigate but I can't do it alone this time. Doing this mission requires two people. I chose you because you are the closest one to me. But before we go to Aether, I must make one stop"

Aron looked at Erik who was sleeping through everything.

"WAKE UP YOU EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN"

"Wha What happened? ARE THOSE DANG DIRTY APES FINALLY TAKING OVER THE WORLD?"

"No we're here"

"Where?"

"My home"

"I thought you were a drifter"

"Think again"

"You live in a space station?"

"Welcome to sidehopper station, your new home"

"New home?"

"Yes"

"You didn't say anything about moving"

"Unpack your bags. I have something for you"

When they got inside and after Erik unpacked, Aron showed him a suit that looks just like hers except blue.

"What is this" asked Erik

"It's your power suit, you need it for survival, life support, defense, and is your own personal diary and dictionary"

Erik put the suit on and moved around.

"This thing is uncomfortable" said Erik "How can you wear this thing?"

"You'll get used to it after a while, now come on. Let's go to Aether"

They went back into the ship and headed off to Aether. When the planet got in sight, Aron immediately found out the problem.

"So dark Aether is back" said Aron "looks like I have to finish what I started"

"Aron" interrupted Erik "I'm right here, you don't have to talk to yourself"

Aron slapped him on the back of the head

"OW" said Erik "what was that for?"

"Don't interrupt me while I'm writing a new entry in my data log"

"You're lucky I was wearing a helmet, otherwise I'd get brain damage"

When the finally landed on Aether, Aron jumped out of the ship and landed on the ground.

"I didn't know we had to do athletics" said Erik

Erik jumped out and tried to do the same thing but landed on his head.

"You're lucky you were wearing a helmet" said Aron

"Why do I get the feeling that the more I stay with you the More closer to brain damage I'm going to get?"

They continued through Aether and the story will continue there.
