What was my home is now a memory as now, I had a new home, a place where I would train daily and put my skills to the test against other humans rather than against my own father…
"Samus-San, I presume?" the officer began.
"Yes, that is me," she replied.
"So, she speaks," he said to the commander.
"I did not say that she doesn't…"
Samus saw the officer kneel down to look at her.
"She seems to be very fit. I saw her fighting you, too. Her skills might be an asset to us."
"Hold on," the Chozo stopped, hiding Samus from the officer's view by putting her behind him. "I didn't say that she would join the GF; that's her decision. I told the chairman that she would go for training only, and if she feels that is her place, then she will stay."
"Fine," he sighed as he got back up. "Now, Samus, would you like to go to the Federation HQ?"
She looked at her father, who just gave a warm smile thenat the officer.
"I would be honored," she replied at last. "Just let me get some of my belongings and I will meet you back here soon."
She left the 2 at the doorway and walked to her room. It would be at least a year or 2 before she saw this surrounding ever again. She pulled out her duffle bag, packed some clothes, her personal items, and, the most important to her, her journal. She walked back out with the filled bag and stood next to her father.
"Now, you be good," Commander Ishuzu began in her mind as the twoo stood in the doorway, the officer turning away as they said their goodbyes. "Fight the fairest you can, even when you think your opponents are cheating. Use the skills that you learned here andapply them to the courses they have set up for you. Learn new skills, and use them and your old skills to the full potential. Above all of this, be sure that you stay focused, or else you will falter."
"I will, Father Ishuzu," she replied with a hug and a tear in her eye. "I'll do my best and make you proud!"
The 2 saluted and Samus stood in front of the officer.
"I am ready when you are, sir!"
The officer looked at Samus.
"Well, you've trained and taught her well," the officer commented.
"What did you expect from one who has been trained as a warrior when he was young…?"
"High Command will be pleased about this, no matter what."
The officer led Samus to the docking area, where a fair-sized ship was warming up its engines. Samus gave one last look at the peaceful village she called home and then went into the ship without speaking. The ship took to the sky and they were in the dark silence of space in no time. The whole trip was quiet and neither of them spoke until they arrived at the station. Samus had found a quiet corner in the passanger area and curled up, taking out her journal to write.
"Today is when I left Tallon IV for the first time and now heading to Federation HQ for further training," she began. "I feel nervous at what awaits me, but I know I will be prepared for it. Chozo Papa has done what he can to prepare me and now, I am ready to take on anything they throw..."
Putting the tiny booklet away into the folds of her sweatshirt, she curled up, and using the duffle bag as a pillow, promptly fell asleep. It was long until the ship jolted slightly as the members on board began to walk back and forth. Samus stirred and sat up, forgetting that she was no longer on a planet. She got up and looked out the main window, only to see a giant space station floating idly in nothing but a sea of space.
"Welcome to the Federation of the Galactic Police Headquarters..." a voice said from behind as 3 drones came out of the ship and accompanied the craft into the station. "The chairman is awaiting your arrival."
Samus looked out from the side window and saw a green creature in a long red robe standing there with 10 security officers surrounding the back. This station was extremely large and had 10 different levels. The top level was where High Command and other high position officers worked, along with the chairman, Chairman Keaton. The 9th was where the officers and recruits slept. The 8th had the classrooms and research stations while the 7th were labs, where weapon tests and classes were held. The 6th floor had the simulation stations and the 5th had the combat rings and cages. The 4th floor was where the eatery and such were stationed. The 3rd and 2nd was just a hangout area, along with several entertainment areas. The main deck was the gym floor, where the pools and weights were located. Samus quickly adjusted to her new room on the 9th floor and put on the uniform that was waiting on her bed. She pulled back her hair and held it in place with a metal pin, one that was big enough to be a weapon. She got on to the elevator and made her way to the 6th floor, where High Command was waiting to be introduced. She stepped in and found them standing and applauding her.
"Welcome!" Chairman Keaton greeted. "I have heard many things about you, all of them superb. Please, have a seat and we shall commence this interview…"
They all sat down while Samus had a seat pulled up for her by a handsome, yet messy-haired, officer. Things had gotten a little edgy until they asked her about looking innocent yet also being an unseen deadly weapon at the same time. This was where she pulled out the metal pin holding her hair up and threw it with lightning quick reflexes toward Chairman Keaton, so accurate that it took out a small amount of what looked like hair off his head. The others stared with amazement when they didn't notice the small pin holding up her hair as a weapon. Samus was a survivor and used whatever resources she had, or could find, as her weapons. This hairpin was just one of few. Another was the nail filer she had in her pocket. After the intro and everything else, Samus was well off on her first step to becoming an intergalactic bounty hunter.
