Metroid Diffusion XI
Not over yet
Samus had to call the space pirates via hyper-net phone. They came in their supersonic jet plane that was invisible to those who didn't knock into it. It landed quietly and quickly. The pirates put a plastic polymer bubble onto the outside of the GFHQ, on the metal wall that prevented space from sucking the air out of Samus' cabin. Samus sat upright in her bed as she noticed that the wall was glowing red, the space pirates had come finally. Creatures in dark black outfits and fluorescent blue eyes came in and began scanning the room for something. When they found it, they turned it over and when satisfied, they left out into the inky blackness. One turned round and said, "Thank you". The wall was sealed to its original state and left Samus smiling in the dark. That smile disappeared the next morning.
The whole HQ was in commotion, everyone was running round preparing things, tidying desks ad sorting books. Samus grabbed one man by the shoulder, "What's going on?"
"Haven't you heard? The space pirates are challenging the GF in a court battle over genetic experiments. The bosses are in a right state, they're willing to blame anyone." Samus sensed something wrong, and so she instinctively turned round to see the Commander come out of his office and shout at her,
"SAMUS ARAN!" Samus ran. Her thoughts were racing. She couldn't stop. No not now. Too much at stake. They're coming. She stopped at the hanger and walked to her ship and was met by five guards with five nasty looking guns. She drifted and let Sumas take over; his huge size caught them off guard. They collected their senses and began to fire at him, he took every shot and retaliated with a quick swipe of his phazon blade, knocking 3 of them out and causing the other two to step back. Sumas roared, charged and ducked left, crashing into one guard. He then lifted his huge legs and roundhouse kicked the other guard into a wall. Sumas squeezed into the ship and took the controls, they were small but he managed to manoeuvre the ship into the empty void of freedom, its inky blackness swallowing them up. He set the co-ordinates to the space pirate base and let the auto pilot take over. He sat down and took a well earned rest.
He woke up to find a blonde woman smiling and looking at him. She seemed familiar and somewhat strange, he got it, and "Samus?" he asked. She smiled as she replied, "Yes"
"How can we both exist?"
"You tell me smarty pants, all knowing Sumas" The sad truth, he couldn't and he didn't want to particularly but something was wrong, it was the way Samus was speaking, almost like an infant. She was being arrogant and smiling, which was not her personality. The ship seemed to liquefy and twist in awkward ways and then it stopped. Samus was in control again and checking co-ordinates as she always did, Sumas wondered, "Samus, what happened?"
"Space time loop"
"That doesn't explain the paradox…"
"It created the paradox" Sumas skunked away and dissipated the contact the bound both of them together. Samus, on other hand was preparing a nice space meal, that's what it said on the packet. The truth was that the food made you more depressed than if you had none. Samus wondered what boring person would make something like this, probably a zoomer watcher or some other boring job. Samus stretched and lay down on a gel sofa hoping it would somehow relieve her. She had war wasps in her stomach and she felt as her heart was in her throat. The courtroom would be in the middle of the galaxy filmed by famous hyper-net crews and seen by billions, the space pirates would win, and she was sure but why was she so anxious. She was always the GF's secret weapon, a dark, mysterious person but now she was in the light and she didn't like it, her place was in the shadows and that's where she wants to remain.
The computer beeped, telling her that the ship was coming to the space pirate HQ soon. The planet was as chilling as she had first seen it; its dark exterior was occasionally brightened up when the asteroid field, around the planet, cleared up. The ship plummeted into a steep dive into the abyss of dark clouds and as the ship broke the inky blanket, Samus turned off the auto-pilot, grabbed the steering wheel and pulled up. The planet was now a barren wasteland, choked in black, acrid smoke and a yellow tinge. Radiation levels were very high but there was no phazon. Samus launched her hyper-net browser and checked GF demolition projects and found one that was commissioned in only 2 hours. It was the death warrant for this planet and the death warrant for everything on it. Scanners picked up a tracer in the muck and linked onto its database, the screen came up 'PASSWORD' and a blank area to fill in letters. Samus thought, 'If I was a space pirate what would I write?' She decided to write 'Motherbrain' but to no avail, next she tried 'Ridley' and again nothing. Then it must be 'Krask' and sure enough the tracer had a message, a space pirate appeared on the screen and began to say, "Samus, if you get this message we have already left. The GF have decided to demolish the planet but we had a spy and found out. We have moved to the courtroom and are waiting for you now."
Samus sighed with relief; at least this wasn't over, yet.
