The Mission
Looking at that planet made Samus shiver, it looked normal enough but Samus had a bad feeling about the place and that feeling wasn't usually wrong. Nether the less she turned a steep dive and headed to the Space Pirate lab using her automatic tracking system.
At touch-down she was greeted by 3 pirates who all carried weapons that Samus couldn't name. They introduced themselves as Captain Kriak, Major Hackih and Private Geneme They showed her round via a large glass egg that was propelled by new anti-gravity technology. It flew high above the complex, which was divided into three segments. She looked at where the pirates pointed; a genetics lab for genetic diseases, a research in potential energy and an animal study area that seemed to be a wreck. "That," said one, "Is where our problem lies." the pirates spoke with rough voices, like sandpaper.
The egg landed in the genetics' lab causing a few cabinets to shake, Samus got out first followed by the pirates. A few glanced at her and then went wide-eyed before getting a dark look form the Major. Hackih spoke first, "Through here…" Samus was led through a chrome hallway that forked into labs in an irregular order, Sumas could help but admire, 'What we have crafted in stone, is nothing like what these creatures have carved into metal'
'You weren't impressed with GF HQ'
'There is less tension here…'
CRASH! Sounded like a bell to mark their arrival at the animal study area. Something was banging against the metal door as if anticipating their arrival, whatever it was, it must be huge!
The Captain tapped her on the shoulder and said, "You will not be alone, my team will go with you but you shall not command them."
"Do not worry, I'm not power hungry"
"Unlike the others"
Samus said nothing but pondered the remark. A pirate in a black exoskeleton came over to her; it towered over the other pirates and spoke in a harsher voice. It must have been of higher rank, possibly a commando. It produced a hologram depicting a huge chamber, "We will enter here," it said, pointing to a part of the map, "my team will cover you as you go north, there are a lot of holes for it to hide in," the hologram changed, it showed a Sheegoth, a huge predatory animal from the planet Tallon IV, "This is what you will be fighting, it has had several genetic mutations, the mouth area is susceptible to missiles and quantum phase 6 blasts at all times. One other mutation is its cloaking ability; it is able to blend into forest easily unless it goes in a stream. The water causes its electrolytic skin to short out."
It didn't sound too hard, "Right ok let's go!" she said and Samus swore she saw the pirate smile.
The drop-ship hovered gently over a knoll; it rocked as air currents drifted under its wings. The chamber was dark but full of sound, strange animals calling to each other and gushing sound of water. Samus could close her eyes and feel, once again on the peaceful planet of Zebes. A deep growl woke her from her daydream; it came from a north direction and so she race towards the noise, quiet as a gust of wind.
Sumas came into her mind again, he seemed to disappear and reappear all the time,
"What? Something wrong"
"This place is full of fear"
"Well, according to you everywhere is full of fear"
"I mean something really bad" Samus felt shivers down her spine; Sumas spoke in a fearful tone and didn't use his usual riddle speech. Maybe something was really wrong, something so bad it was affecting him.
Samus turned a corner and stopped to get her bearings. She took one step forward and energy surged through her, making her feel powerful and free but then insanity took over, embedding thoughts of betrayal and sabotage to the mission. It told her to destroy everything. Samus managed to break free of the insanity and fall over. She looked at her feet; it was covered with a light cerulean glop she recognised as Phazon. As she look round she saw more and more and began to understand what had happened here. Someone had jeopardised the operation by releasing one of the animals but got killed as a result. She jumped to her feet; it was time to end this madness! And it nearly got her. She knew why she had been against it in the first place, it was the ultimate destructive material, perfect for a war but who had made it? They are going to pay! But first to the mission!
Samus glided through the jungle with ease cutting through the dense undergrowth easily until she came to a clearing with a stream. In the middle, waiting for her was the huge Sheegoth. It stood at nine feet tall with huge fangs at least 3 feet in length. It skin should have been white but now it was a blotchy black and light blue, a sign of phazon mutation. It seemed to pant, and then Samus realised it was laughing! It charged at her with lightning speed, but Samus had quicker reflexes and speed, allowing her to dodge the giant mutant easily. It turned instantaneously to face her and let out a powerful blast of energy from its mouth, launching Samus into a nearby rock. She knew she was outdone and the end would come soon. 'She' was outdone but few creatures outdid Sumas.
"Ready?" said a familiar voice,
"Sorry about earlier, please help me!" thankful for Sumas' help.
Samus relaxed and let the power take over, her body changed into the monster she had within and stood up to face the challenge.
Beat that cliffy! O yeah! I'm proud, such a beautiful cliffy
Yledir: "Self praise is not very modest"
Me: I know but sometimes it's helpful!"
