Chapter Four

Who the Hell are you?

I awaken to the sound of a crackling fire. My eyes slowly flutter open I stare at my surroundings and try to move my arms… I can't! I try and move my legs next but they wont budge I scream in disbelief. "Relax your only paralyzed no need to lose your head over it…" I turn my head toward the voice at least that still works I think. It is the FOmar I saw before I lost conscious! He is dressed in a light blue robe with a head band on his head holding back gray colored hair in spikes. "What the hell was that Gi-Zonde blast for!" I scream in rage at him for giving me my current predicament. He chuckles to himself and says in a rather pleased voice with himself.

"If you must know if I hadn't done that you, my motionless friend would be dead by now. You were not the intended target of that blast so you didn't get its full shock it was the target on the cliff it was intended for, it just needed a bridge to get there and well you served nicely." I don't know what to say after that I can't think of anything… I turn to him and say thank you. He just smiles and shakes his head and goes back to tending the fire he has created. I turn my head to stare at the night sky wondering who she was and what she meant… "He is expecting you…"

I turn towards the FOmar two questions enter my mind. "Hey thanks by the way what's your name?" He looks at me and smiles saying "My name? Well its Mewone heh and yours?" "Colt. Colt Legenda." He stares at me in disbelief for a second but doesn't say anything. "I have one more thing to ask… Did you happen to see what weapon my assailant used on me…?" He looks at me surprised by my question but says in a flat tone. "Yes I did I believe it was a Heart of Poumn… Now get some rest you broke your right arm and cracked some ribs even with my powerful Resta spell to heal your bones, your body still needs sleep and your Mag probably agrees with me." I look puzzled and turn my head to see Rati floating there above my shoulder concern showing in his demeanor to me. I smile at him and go to close my eyes the finally thought I go across in my mind is why Mint tried to kill me after I saved her… I fall asleep after that.

I soon awake and try to move my limbs again. This time I get a response. Although rather slow but it should wear off soon, I stand up and wobble for a bit on the balls of my feet. I soon become steady and try to walk although it is a labor, I have little feeling in my legs at all thankfully I hope it will wear off shortly. My Mag awakens to my movement and flutters over to my shoulders. "Heh, good morning Rati did you sleep well?" I ask my Rati as I pet his head.

I look over to my right and see the FOmar Mewone still sound asleep. The fire from last night barley visible, red glowing embers is all that remains now in the cool morning air. I look around myself to get my bearings. I soon realize I am lost and that the FOmar must have dragged me quiet a ways that night I was zapped unconscious by his Gi-Zonde spell… I make a mental note to thank him later for that. I venture a little ways out of the campsite soon finding myself staring at a river. I bend down and wash my face in it, hoping to drive away the feeling of sleep still lingering in me. After washing up I return to the camp site to see Mewone has awoken and gotten the fire going again and is preparing food for us. "Well I see your up and moving now that's a good sign." I look at him suddenly a thought occurs in my head why is he here on Ragol anyways? "Mewone I have a question for you why are you down her on Ragol all by yourself anyways?" "Ah that's rather easy really I took a quest for the government, something about finding research data that a Serene Legenda or something had been working on. They also said another hunter would be waiting for me planet side to join up with me and help in this matter of retrieving it. Heh I guess that's you since you share her last name."

I look to Mewone unsure of his true motives in this but I shake my head now is not the time to make enemies I remind myself. The food is done soon enough and to my surprise he hands me some eggs toast and a rather odd piece of meat. When questioned about its origins he looks at me and laughs saying "What you never have Gulgus meat before?" I reply no and he just laughs again and eats it. I eat it with out further question and to my surprise it is very tender and delicious.

Our meal having ended with out any harmful happenings I turn to him and explain an idea that had been formulating in my head since he had told me he was assigned this quest as well. I tell him that I wish to head back to Pioneer 2 with him to see if we can sneak into the Hunter's Guild to see if I can find any information on my sister and the true nature of her research done here with Pioneer 1. He looks at me and says yes, with a glint of pleasure in his eyes as if he likes the thought of destruction. "You do know the risks involved in this we could both lose our Hunter's Licenses and never be able to set foot here again or worse yet," He adds with a smile on his face, "We could charged with treason against the government and be shot upon by a firing squad." I nod my head my eyes never wavering he looks upon me again and laughs saying. "Well hell I was hoping I could cause a little mayhem before I left for the mines heh this ought to be fun!"

We wait until night fall and place a telepipe and take it back up to Pioneer 2. We soon arrive in the armory area of the market I can see the guild off in the distance a little ways. We walk forward my Mag hovering over my shoulders tensing up again as we by pass a group of people. We make it to the doors of the Hunters Guild as expected they are electronically locked and require retina and finger print scans, to activate them, I turn towards Mewone who just smiles and stands between me and the scanner. I soon hear a fizzling of circuits and the smell of sulfur soon enters my nostrils. I cough and the doors slide open after a bit of effort. I step inside everything is running automated.

I turn to go behind the counter and access the computer terminal while Mewone simply watches and seems to grin when ever it seems people may come in to take a look but they never do come close enough to see that the doors were forced open. Frustration grows in my brow they have almost nothing in their database on her or the research…

I turn away from the screen angered and soon notice a door hidden behind the counter of the guild. I go to open it and see it is locked... Frowning I look around and soon take out my Demolition Comet. I shove the staff into the door hinges hoping to pop it off. I quickly activate the double saber and it expands and causes the hinges to screech and swell but still they don't come off. Quickly looking to see that no one is outside the door Mewone is by I yank upon my weapon forcing it foreword, causing the hinges to pop off and send the door crashing to the ground with a loud metallic bang. Sweat develops on my brow from the sudden sound I turn again to see if any one has noticed the sound…

Thankfully no one has. I step through the door frame to a darkened hall way the only light coming from my Mags wings that keep it airborne. Something glints in the corner of the room and I turn to it and see it is a hold chamber for android models. I look upon it and see the date is prior to the explosion at the Central Dome… I see it also bears a stamp of production on it not used by Pioneer 2… Suddenly it clicks the dust on the chamber the unknown stamp, this is a Pioneer 1 android! But it can't be the official report states that there were no survivors ever found upon Ragol even to this day… I clear the dust off the glass plate near where the head of the android should be and soon see it is a Racast. I look upon it trying to inspect its features in the low light.

I put my hand on the side of the capsule to see if I can turn it into the light but my hand falls upon the switch to open it. A gust of pressurized air rushes forth from the sudden breaching of the capsule. I shield my face and eyes, when the wind stops I return my gaze to the Racast now in full view. It seems to be of a new model line but something feels different about it. It's more compact then its new counter parts and the head is rather big with a top part jutting out at least 2 feet. Its paint scheme is also different from that of a normal Racast's instead of a set of normal and bland colors this one is a combination of orange black and green. I ponder at this color scheme although I admire it; it just seems to serve no purpose for the RAcast.

I step closer to the RAcast, suddenly its head snaps up and its visor gleams in the black hallway. "State your name…" It says in a mono tone no soul in it. I stare at the piece of machinery and software wondering why it activated all of a sudden. "State your name or face termination…" It draws a Crush bullet on me, I know the power stored in that weapon against multiple enemies in an enclosed area I have witnessed it before hand. Although I might be able to doge the initial volleyed fired at me the second would rip holes through me and the photon bullets in design would ricochet off the smooth metal surface that lines this room.

"I am Colt Legenda." I state to the machine hoping that will suffice… "…Voice match confirmed for Colt Legenda younger brother to Serene Legenda of android diagnostics and research for Pioneer1…" Androids? I think too myself… What was she doing on Pioneer 1 damn the Hunter's Guild! I slam my fist against the wall behind me as this last thought comes to mind… "… Checking primary functions….. Once activated find Colt Legenda …" I stare at the Racast in disbelief, Why would he need to find me…

"…. Waiting for first initial command to begin updating files and return to normal function…." The Racast's flat voice snaps my concentration on the matter and I say to continue. It then lies dormant for a few minutes its metal head staring straight at me but with no movement or sounds emerging from it. I begin to think wondering why this android was created just for me and why the government had it sealed away in a room behind the Hunter's Guild… The Racast head snaps back up and its visor lights up again. "…. Initial command complete awaiting first order…" I look at it wondering if it was given a name before it was sealed away. "RAcast what is your name?" its quiet for a moment then it stirs and states "…. Model number 34567821 Code named Samus…" Heh I laugh to myself quietly my sister at least had a way of picking unique names to say the least. "All right then Samus lets move out and head down to Ragol I don't think the government will find this as much a fruitful experience as I have had."

I walk out the opening of the door frame and see Mewone leaning up against a side wall in thought; he sees me and moves over towards us. He stops suddenly seeing the android following behind. "Heh you come for info and bring home a Racast huh…" I don't truly notice the comment I am lost in thought again over my sister and what she did. "So who the hell is he anyways?" The question snaps me back to reality… "Heh he is model number 34567821 Code Named Samus…"
