To reviewer John: The only real thing about Samus's past is that she comes from K2L and then went to live in Zebes, and all her relatives and friends are killed by Space Pirates. The Cosmo Space Lab part is totally made up by me; it is as fake as Snake's past that I made up. Cosmic Hand is my OC also. And Spandine is from One Piece.
Chapter 27: The Power of the Annihilation Call! Cosmo Space Lab vs. The World!
Samus is walking down the hallway and greeting to everyone she comes across. At the same time, many things are going on in her mind. About how she lost her parents, the Chozos, the Space Pirate invasions in the past, and all the way until now. Come to think of it, she really has a tragic past. But everything seems to have settled down for now. She has made many friends here. It's just like Adam said; they are one big family.
"But why is the Armageddon a banned weapon?" she wonders. "If the government really banned it, then what will happen to us all if they ever find out?" She shrugs her mind off that matter and enters her room.

Meanwhile, in the research room…
"And so, this is where this piece is and that piece is," says Cosmic Hand to his fellow researchers. "They should be sealed up very well. No one besides us should be able to find out how to get them."
"Cosmic Hand!" says a guy. "We have detected something on the radar!"
"What is it?"
"Come and see!"
They rush to the radar but see nothing on it. "There's nothing," says CH.
"But there was something on it just now!"
"Whatever it is, it's gone now. Back to work!"
-
"We will be approaching Cosmo Space Lab in a few minutes," says the pilot of the spaceship. "Because we have the anti-radar shield activated, they will not spot us."
"Good! And also make our entrance grand!" says Spandine. "I want everyone to know how great of a guy I am! Hahaha!"
-
Guards are patrolling the docking area of the Space Lab when suddenly, a hole is made on the wall and a tube connects in. "Intruder alert!" says the police.
The door of the tube opens and several government officials and soldiers come out. "For the sake of justice, we must destroy the ones who are researching the weapons!" say the officials. "Those who are not associated with them in any way please board the evacuation ship we have prepared for you!"
Then there was a big panic among all the people.
"What? Why destroy this place?"
"I'm innocent!"
"But this is my home!"
"What's all this about?"
"The government has made it clear that the weapon researchers of this place must be killed," say the officials. "But we will not kill anyone who is unrelated to this. Please gather your belongings and board the evacuation ship as fast as possible! This whole place will be destroyed soon!"
At hearing this, everyone is shocked, and there was whole panic throughout the place.
Spandine steps into the Space Lab and says, "Now let's go capture those weapon researchers and put an end to this evil fast!"
-
"What? Did you say that the soldiers and government officials are here already!" gasps Cosmic Hand. "This is bad!"
"What do we do?" ask the researchers.
"This place and our researches are our pride! We cannot give up on it easily! Even if we have to fight against them, we will have too! We must protect this place!"
Then the door slams open and several officials step in. "Halt! You are under arrest in the name of justice! You evil beings have nowhere to go now!"
"Damn!"
-
Samus is in her room when she heard lots of noises coming from outside. "What's all that noise about?" She leaves the room and sees many people panicking and fleeing. "What's happening?"
"This place is going get destroyed!" says a random guy. "The government is going to kill all the weapon researchers!"
Upon hearing this, Samus is shocked. "What! Cosmic Hand! Adam! They're part of that facility! I must go see them!" And she quickly runs towards the direction of the research room.
-
Meanwhile out in space, 10 large flying battleships are seen flying towards the Space Lab. "We will be at Cosmo Space Lab in 15 minutes," says a loud computer voice. "Get ready to annihilate it."
-
"Do not touch anything!" yells CH as he slaps away some of the officials.
"Cosmic Hand! Don't do anything silly!" cry the researchers. "You'll get killed!"
"Fire at that mad Hand!" shout the officials, and they fire their guns at him.
"Our pride for our studies will not end here by you!" CH endures the gunshots and beats up the officials. He continues to fight them until some strong people appear and beat him up in a split second. "YAAAA!"
"Cosmic Hand!"
"Hahahahaha! It's worthless to fight against the CP9!" says Spandine as he walks into the room. And the ones who hit CH just now are members of the CP9.
"How can you government do this kind of thing!" says CH.
"It is because you are all demons who wants to take over the world using the Armageddon, which is the most powerful weapon in the whole world! The government cares for the world and its well being, so he ordered wicked people like you to be eliminated for greater justice!"
At this moment, Samus comes running into the room and sees all her fellow researchers subdued. "Everyone!"
"Samus! What are you doing here!" says Adam. "Get out of here fast!"
"Yeah right, little girl," says Spandine. "You have nothing to do with this, so get out of here before you die! Anyway, I have completed my mission already! What a simple job… Let's report to Big Brother about it." An official hands him a phone, and he begins dialing it.
"Wait a second… I would like to speak to this mastermind of the government myself regarding this matter," says CH.
"Who do you think you are that you want to speak to such a big shot?"
Then a voice speaks out from the phone. "I will speak to him."
"Uh… Okay then…" Spandine places the phone in front of CH.
"So I am now speaking to the famed researcher Cosmic Hand, one of the few Hands left in the world," says the voice in the phone.
"You are the mastermind of the government, Big Brother, I presume," says CH.
"Yes I am. But I would have never thought that a great person like you would walk the way of evil. Even going this far to use the Armageddon."
"What right do you have to say that we are using it for evil purposes? It's true that it was made by a wicked ancestor of mine, but that does not mean the whole Hand family is tainted with evil by that. Furthermore, my fellow researchers are just doing their studies. They have no intentions of doing evil."
"But you must know that evil ways spread faster than anything else. Their minds may be corrupted even as we speak. We will never know when they suddenly turn against the world. Therefore, you people must be eliminated before that happens."
"You do not know anything!"
"Hey! Have your manners when you're speaking to Big Brother!" says Spandine.
"For years we have been studying on these weapons to learn how make good use out of them! The Armageddon is indeed a terrifying weapon that can destroy the whole world or even the universe! But we have no intentions of using it for evil purposes! In fact, we are trying to make sure that nobody can ever get his or her hands on it! Someone like you will never understand!"
"You are influenced by too much evil," says the voice of Big Brother through the phone. "Nothing I say will change you. Shoot him."
At this, one of the officials standing by Spandine fires his gun at CH.
BANG!
"GAAAAAAA!"
"COSMIC HAND!" cry the researchers.
"Cosmic Hand! NOOOOOOOO!" screams Samus.
"Samus! Get out of here!" says the injured CH. "You must save… yourself!"
"He's right, Samus!" Adam tells her. "You must live on forever! You are still young, so you can create a bright future ahead of you!"
"But… but I don't want to lose you all!" cries Samus. "I have lost my loved ones many times! I don't want this to happen again… I… I… I am also part of the weapon research facility!"
"Don't say it, Samus!" shouts Adam.
"What?" asks Spandine.
Suddenly, the whole place begins shaking violently and sounds of explosion can be heard.
"Chief! The Annihilation Call has begin!" reports an official.
"Already! And I'm still in here!"
"What about that girl?" asks a CP9 member. "She said she is a weapon researcher too."
"I think she said that, but let's just save my hide first! But remember how she looks like! We must round her up too!" Then Spandine and the officials quickly run out the room.
"This place is starting to catch fire!" cry the researchers.
"We must put out the fire and save our researches!" says CH. "Load them into capsules and let them roam out into space! They have a chance of getting found by civilization! It is better than to have them burn here!"
Adam approaches Samus and says, "Why do you risk your life in danger like this?"
"But I don't want to lose any of you again!" she replies.
"I understand how you feel, but this thing is destined to happen to us. Come, I'll get you out of here."
"But…"
"Adam's right!" CH tells her. "You are still young, and you can create a new future ahead of you! You must save yourself and pass on our researches! Though the world may not understand our discoveries, these kinds of thing must still be kept in the history of the world! Samus, go and save this discovery!"
"But…"
"Enough! I'll take you to the evacuation ship!" And Adam drags Samus out.
"Good-bye, Samus…" says CH.
-
Adam is able to take Samus to where the evacuation ship is. "There it is!" he tells her. "Get onboard quick!"
"How about you?" asks Samus.
"I'm sorry that I cannot go with you. This is my fate, and I am ready to accept it. I believe that you can live on."
"But I don't want to leave you guys behind!"
"Just go! I believe you will find friends out there who will care for you! Go now! The evacuation ship is leaving!"
Samus cries and nods, and she run towards the evacuation ship that is crowed with people.
"Halt! Don't let that girl on!" shouts Spandine. "She's one of the weapon researching devils!"
"Chief Spandine! Yes sir!" says the pilot of the ship, and the hatch closes so Samus can't get in.
"Wha!" cries Samus.
"You government! You good for nothing bunch of fools!" says Adam angrily.
"Haha! We will never let devils like you do whatever you want!" laughs Spandine. "Get ready to accept your fate now!"
When the evacuation ship has left into space, a missile hits it and destroys it.
KABOOOOOOOM!
"Ah! The evacuation ship was destroyed!" gasps Samus.
"Big Brother gave an order just now saying that the evacuation ship should be destroyed in case stowaways get onboard!" says Spandine. "Though the innocent may have died, they have sacrificed themselves for a good reason!"
"You bunch of devils! You call this justice?" says Adam angrily.
Suddenly, there is another shaking and the ceiling falls down and a piece of it hits Spandine on the head.
WHACK!
And he passes out. "Waaaaaaaaaaa…"
"Samus! There is an escape pod somewhere here!"" says Adam. "Over there! It'll take you to Tooneria, the planet that supports life!"
"Please don't leave me, Adam!" says Samus. But Adam just drags her towards the pod and pushes her inside. "Adam! Don't do this to me!" She keeps on pounding against the glass cockpit to come out.
"Good-bye, Samus… I believe you will find friend out there who will trust in you and protect you. They will be your true friends…"
Then another explosion occurs and the ceiling collapse and crushes Adam under them.
"ADAM! NOOOOOOO!" cries Samus as the escape pod gets ejected out of the Space Lab automatically.
-
Cosmo Hand and the others are still in the research room, trying to save their researches. The whole place begins heating up and collapsing. "This whole place is exploding…" say the researchers.
"This is the history that mankind has chosen…" CH thought to himself. "How pitiful… If only we can choose a different path… This is what we have chosen in the beginning…"
-
Samus is now outside in space. She watches the 10 giant battleships of the Annihilation Call bombarding Cosmo Space Lab with missiles and lasers. She watches in silent while tears flow down her eyes, and she thinks back to the time she spent on there.
"Your name is Samus, and you want to be a bounty hunter?" asks Cosmic Hand.
"Nice to meet you, Samus!" says Adam. "I am Adam. We are friends from now on!"
"It's your birthday, Samus!" says CH. "Let's eat cake!"
"Congratulations on passing the exam!" says CH. "You are now an official bounty hunter!"
"I love this place and everyone here, so I want to protect it!" says Adam. "We are a big family."
"You will surely find friends out there who will trust in you and protect you!" says Adam. "They will be your true friends!"
Samus then buries her face in her knees and begins crying loudly and sadly to herself.
-
"Darn! I let that girl escaped!" says Spandine, who has escaped in his spaceship along with his henchmen. "Big Brother won't be pleased to hear that one of the devil researchers is out there! Something must be done to capture her!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
I tried to make it as sad as possible, and I hope you find it tragic at least, even if you don't cry. Now things will begin to heat up next chapter! Remember, I made up this story, so it is not official.
