Okay, so I lied a little. But technically I didn't, but whatev. I present all the fan dudes and dudeettes another chapter OF... Whatever I call this FF. I don't remember, and I don't feel like doing my research.

Fan's be warned, this chp is a little lengthy. I don't how I wrote it, but I'm sure the action scene is a little on the dull side. However, I made Samus have a funny, so might work for ya.

Well, read, weep, and enjoy.

Sincerely:Michael (Zaith Falken) Lugaro

"Something the matter, Michael?"

"Huh?"

"Michael, you were day dreaming again."

"Was not!"

Carefully, I rested the arm weights down onto the floor, and then wiped my brow. Surprisingly, I was dryer them a sun burnt rock. Deciding that maybe I should try another go at writing for the day, I made my way out of the gym and into the cockpit. I sat down, tapped the screen of the digital pad I had been doing my writing on, and tried to continue.

'… Now clear of mind and objective, I made my way to the hilltop, where the large oak tree stood up against the clear sky. As I made it to the roots of the tree, I could find the beautiful maiden Samu-."

"Not again."

"Don't tell me that you wro-"

"Don't say it, Cassandra."

Cassandra fell silent, leaving my mind to wonder. Trying to shake off the name, I continued to write, hopefully in a more creative way.

'… Maiden Alexis, resting peacefully beside the tree. Her beautiful blo… brown hair waved in air, magnifying her beauty. I called out for her, joy coming to me as I heard her voice.'

"Hmm… what should she say?"

"Oh, Michael," she said, somewhat startled. "What a pleasant surprise."

"I told you earlier that I wanted a word with you, Alexis."

"You did, didn't you?"

Carefully I sat down beside Alexis, as I had dreamt many times. Yet no matter how similar these dreams were to reality, there was no comparison to the Alexis who sat I sat next to at this moment.

"Isn't the sky beautiful, Michael?"

"Yes it is. Though I must admit, I find you far more beautiful then any sky."

"Must you always attempt to garner my affection? You know I do not feel the same as you do."

"I cannot help myself. Every time my eyes rest upon you, I only feel more compelled to try and woo you."

"Well stop! I cannot be affectionate to anyone, especially you of all people."

"Why me?"

"Did you forget who I am?"

"Pardon. My mind plays tricks on me at times, Alexis. You are the seal of the dragons, and thus cannot act as normal women."

"Correct."

There was silence between us, our eyes upon the others. I felt a low lust begin to grow inside me, and felt compelled to lean closer. I managed to keep my wants and instincts to myself, however.

Alexis turned her gaze back to the blue sky, which had slowly began to creep with a light gray. Surely rain was to come from the clouds, and Alexis would have to return to her room before the night.

"It would seem that our time is up, Michael."

As she said this, she looked down at her belly, and then carefully wrapped her arm around herself.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know what the seal truly does, Michael?"

"I cannot say I do. Most people do not, as the king has not allowed the education to proceed."

"I did not think so. Michael, give me your hand."

"What? Why?"

"Just give me you hand."

"Very well, here."

I raised my hand before her, and with the grace of an angel, she took it by the wrist and placed it by her stomach. I was confused, but feeling somewhat compelled by curiosity, I rest my palm on her.

What soon came to mind shocked me. I felt something strange touch my hand from underneath her skin. I had felt the kick of a child before, however this was different. It was as if something was trying to claw out of her, though with little success.

"What is this?"

"The seal does not truly stop the dragons from return. We instead give birth to the dragons, or rather, the ruler of all dragons, the Marquis."

"You mean to say that you are pregnant with a dragon, Samu-"

"Dammit!"

"You did it again, didn't you?"

"Shut up, Cassandra!"

"Look, maybe you should just call Samus and ask her to diner sometime."

"And what makes you think that Samus would want to go out with some old fogy like me?"

"Hey you never know until yo-…"

Suddenly, Cassandra became silent, leaving the unsavory sound of the engines in my ear. Feeling annoyed by Cassandra's comment, I began to speak, trying to impose my demands on her.

"What was that, Cassandra? You, a computer, are trying to tell me how to handle getting romantic with someone? Sorry, but I'm pretty sure that I've had more experience with people then yo-"

"We've got bogies behind us."

"What!"

"Four ships are currently in our direction. Missiles detected, taking evasive action."

I felt a gentle jerk, causing me to move a little in my seat. Through the cockpit class, I could see a photon charge zipping by to the right of the ship.

"Gees. Cassandra, who are they, bounty hunters?"

"Yes and no. Three of the ships are Space Pirates, the other is Samus Aran's. The four seem to be in a battle, and they're heading this way fast."

"Samus!"

'Sweet!' I thought to myself. 'Now I can finally see her again. Maybe I should a-"

"What am I thinking! Cassandra, give me the manual controls."

"What! I know you like Samus and all, but shouldn't we let her handle this? It's not our problem."

"Just give me the controls!"

"Whatever."

The joystick, throttle, and yaw controls all rose from the floor, and with several quick moves, I whipped the ship around and jetted from the battle. I pushed the throttle to about seventy, which would certainly get me there much quickly.

"Samus is taking fire," said Cassandra with another update.

"Shit! I'm almost there Samus, hang on!"

"Three hundred kilometers."

"Two hundred Kilometers."

"Samus is taking fire. One of her thrusters is down."

"Tell me something good, Cassandra!"

"One Space Pirate ship down."

"One hundred Kilometers."

"Weapons now in range."

"Thank god!"

After listening to her ranting of distance, I switched to multiple target missiles and fired. The Space Pirates seemed to have noticed me and managed to dodge my fire. However, this distraction allowed me to turn this into an intergalactic dog fight, as I was now behind one of them.

"Samus is haili-"

"Patch her through!"

"I'm on it."

A screen buzzed to my right, but it was out of the way, and my peripheral vision was not bother by the message. With the Space Pirate before me, I pulled my trigger finger, launching a quick volley of tritanium steel at my prey. The shots all blasted through the space pirate's thrusters, causing a number of internal ricochets, leading to an explosive blast from the engine. The pirate had no time to eject, and roasted in his cockpit, all while I went on to the next one.

"Micha.. l, wha… ou doi… ere?"

"Samus you're breaking up!" I said, maneuvering the ship so as to catch up to the attacking pirate.

"Micha…"

"Signal lost."

"What! What happened?"

"Samus' engines are shot, and her engine is providing only enough energy for shields. However, with the Space Pirate constantly raiding her ship, it'll only be about a minuet before Samus' ship is destroyed.

"Shit! Am I in range for heat seekers?"

"Of course!"

"Good."

After a quick glance around, I found the pirate, and with no time to spare, I readjusted the ship, switched from multi-target to heat seeker missiles, and then pulled the trigger. Afterwards, I went right on his tail as he tried to avoid the seeker missile, which he barely did. The pirate seemed to be trying to get at Samus, as he kept turning around to try and fire. However, I managed to launch another heat seeker into his thruster, causing an immediate explosion.

Now relieved of the Space Pirates, I quickly made my way to Samus' ship. The thrusters her ship had were either dim or missing, as the battle had certainly left Samus' ship worse for wear.

"Cassandra, patch me through to Samus."

"That's a no go. Her communication systems are down, and her ship is currently running on reserves."

"Just great… Can you hack into the ship so that we can board?"

"Considering the status of her ship, no. You would have to manually open it."

"Damn."

'Think, Michael, think.'

I sat in frustration, trying to find a way to get Samus out of her ship. I couldn't risk leaving her there, as her ship would probably run out of oxygen soon.

"I've got it."

"What are you planning?" asked a startled Cassandra.

"Get me close to her cockpit. I'm gonna break it open, then bring Samus over here."

"Are you crazy! You could end up killing her. Space is a vacuum, remember!"

"And if she's wearing her Varia suit, it shouldn't be a problem. Now get over there now."

In a rush, I made my way downstairs where I entered the boarding room. Quickly, I put on my large spaced suit, and then stepped into the decompression chamber. Inside, I hit the blue button that shut the door, and the decompression followed automatically.

An outside door opened after the room was decompressed, and a rope with a carabineer slowly fell from the ceiling. Attaching the carabineer to my suit, I began to draw as much rope as I could, as I would need it to get back to the ship.

Now with a length of rope in my hand, I gripped the outside panels of my ship and slowly made my way to Samus' ship. I wished I could go faster, but I was in space and my shoes were not magnetic.

After about a minuet of struggling, I made it to the top, where Cassandra had positioned Samus' ship in comparison to our own. Letting go of the rope, I hopped onto her glass of Samus' ship, where I found Samus looking back. I placed my hands onto the glass, and Samus did the same, just under mine.

"Cassandra, she's wearing the suit. Patch me through to her, but disable the visual."

"Roger that.

I heard a buzzing in the helmet, but it quickly passed. I heard nothing, so I decided that maybe I should talk.

"Samus?" I said, curious to find an answer.

"Michael," Samus replied, a smile clearly in her eyes.

"Sweet, I got through," I said cheerfully. "Are you okay?"

"I'm alright, but my ship…"

"Yeah, you're ship is really messed up," I said bluntly. "Is there any chance you could open the decompression chamber from the inside?"

"No, the powers shot," Samus replied. "Only power I have is in reserves, and there practically nothing left."

"I see… Well, looks like we'll just have to break the glass."

"I suppose your right. I don't any other way to get out."

"Alright. Just stand back and-"

"Maybe I should do this," Samus said.

"What!" I said, somewhat baffled. Why?"

"Simple. Your suit is one of those cheap synthetic ones, where as mine as plenty of armor, so it would make more sense to break it with my armor."

"Good point," I said. "Okay, I stand off to the side, and you can break the glass."

"Okay."

Carefully, I walked back off to the side of the ship, yet remained in sight of Samus' cockpit. With a quickly yell, I could see and hear Samus punching the glass. Cracks started to form after three punches, and the forth punch shattered the glass completely.

"Looks like you've been busy for the last ten months," I said, astonished at her strength. I could only venture to say that the suit probably gave her most of her power.

Samus then walked out of her ship, where she was soon sucked to the floor magnetically. She then walked over to me, and then rested her weight on one hip when she stopped before me. At the moment, her height was three feet more then my own, though it was only due to the suit, for sure.

"And I see that you're still a nice guy and an old fogy."

"Hey, just because I'm an old fogy doesn't mean you're allowed to rub it in my face."

If you didn't get the fogy joke, then you might want to reread one of the older chapters... I think it was chapter three but don't hold me to it. Anyway onto the good stuff. I'll be working on this for a bit, so I'l hnave the real ending (and booty scene) some ahead. Plus, you can expect a Parasite eve FF later, which had too much research on it (mostly clothes guns and GOOGLE EARTH) Well, thats it for the postal note

SINcerely: "the same guy from above" aka the author aka a total and complete loser.

ok getting to into the sincerely bit.
