Bounty Hunter Data: Weavel

One year ago, a Bounty Hunter known as Weavel left a squadron of Space Pirates in order to try and gain possession of the ultimate weapon known as the Omega Cannon. After returning empty-handed, however, Weavel was sure that he'd be banished from the clan and forced into exile. The final results, however, were much different than that.

Weavel left the Space Pirate clan as a hero, but returned as a legend. Stories of the dangers he faced against Samus Aran spread far and wide, and eventually reached the Space Pirates of which he used to have some authority over. And, after discussing it with the highest ranked Space Pirates in the galaxy, Weavel became a General of one of the largest Space Pirate battalions in history. His fame was unmatched, and his skills were top-notch. In his own mind, General Weavel was truly unstoppable.

Weavel, along with the thousands of Space Pirates he controlled beneath him, had been stationed on a long frigate orbiting around the X14 Quadrant of the galaxy, where they were preparing for a mission to retrieve a load of Phazon from a nearby planet and transfer it back to the Pirate Council, which was a group of ten Space Pirate Elites who had skills even beyond that of General Weavel. They had more weapons and armor than a Pirate Commando, and more skill than Weavel. They were truly the most dangerous beings in the galaxy.

"General Weavel, I have a small unit ready to move out on to planet Eledor, we believe that is where some of the locals in this quadrant are hiding pure Phazon." One of the Pirate Commandos told Weavel.

Weavel crossed his arms and looked out one of the enormous windows, "Of course, and if you find it, take it by any means necessary. We want to make sure that the Pirate Council is pleased, don't we?" he asked in a hollow voice.

"Yes sir," the commando said obediently, and stormed off.

As Weavel looked out the window still, he dreamed of becoming the head of the Pirate Council, at which time he would control every single Space Pirate alive. That would not be a task easily accomplished, but if anybody had the persistence and arrogance to make it to that rank, it was Weavel. He recalled a time when he was nothing more than a Pirate Soldier, a mere 3rd class warrior.

Then, after a battle with Samus on Brinstar, Weavel was nearly killed. Luckily for him the Space Pirates were able to rebuild him, but they unintentionally gave him extraordinary powers that far exceeded any normal Space Pirate. That's when Weavel first became a high-ranking officer.

It was at this time Weavel volunteered to retrieve the Omega Cannon for the Pirate Council, but when he returned empty-handed, he was sure the Pirate Council would see only another failure by him. The true outcome was quite the opposite, as they were astonished that he was able to go from nearly being killed by Samus in one fight, to matching her in strength in the next when no other Space Pirate has ever had that type of strength. This is when the Pirate Council made Weavel one of the highest ranked Generals in the galaxy, yet he was still not satisfied. He wanted ultimate control, and he was sure that if he could obtain the Omega Cannon, wiping out the Pirate Council and seizing control of the Space Pirate organization would be a simple task…not even the Pirate Council could stand up to a weapon of that magnitude.

Weavel regained consciousness of what was going on around him after his daydream had come to a close, and he saw that the Space Pirates were all buzzing with excitement.

"You there," Weavel barked, nodding his head towards a Pirate Soldier, "what's the commotion about?"

"General Weavel, the Pirate Council is at our doorstep! They're here for a private session with you sir!" he exclaimed, and ran to get in line with the rest of the Pirate Soldiers.

Weavel couldn't believe it…the Pirate Council…here? This wasn't a good time at all, he hadn't been able to get nearly the amount of Phazon that they wanted, and if he failed again he was sure he'd lose his rank and any hopes he had of seizing control of the Space Pirates.

After marching outside alone, Weavel saw the carrier that had landed the Pirate Council. They were quite intimidating, and they walked in a single file line along with main gate until they had entered the frigate itself.

As the Pirate Council walked by Weavel, they gave him absolutely no sign of recognition, and walked silently passed him until they were in the Main Chamber. At this time, they turned right and all faced forward.

Weavel walked in front of them, "How can I be of assistance, oh great ones?" he asked, kneeling down before the ten Space Pirate Elites.

The pirate on the far left spoke, "It has come to our attention that you are not alone in your quest to defeat Samus and gain control of the Omega Cannon." He said wisely.

Weavel looked upwards, "What do you mean?"

This time, the pirate three from the left spoke, "The Kriken youth named Trace has assembled an army and is on their way to Samus as we speak, they will pass your frigate shortly."

Now, the pirate on the far right spoke, "Krikens are known for being greedy, and they will most likely strike here before continuing onwards on their path of destruction. Assemble your men General Weavel, and take down the Kriken Army. If you fail, then all hope for you is gone, and if the Krikens don't finish you, then we will."

Weavel got to his feet, "I assure you that I will lead our men to victory. I will not dishonor the Space Pirate name," he promised, then added: "but, are you sure that the Krikens will attack?"

The pirate four from the right spoke, "Of course. Krikens in general are selfish and power-hungry, but Trace is exceptionally so. He will take out any opposition that could pose a threat to him for the sole purpose of not having competition. Be wise General, or else you WILL fall," he finished.

Weavel understood the consequences he would face if he failed to defeat Trace, and he knew it wouldn't be easy. But he had to, or else he would never gain the fame and recognition he so desired.

"With this," one of the members of the Pirate Council said, "we take our leave."

The ten pirates walked out of the Main Chamber in a single file line, and boarded their ship once again, and blasted off into the dark sky.

Weavel barged into the Control Room, "Captain, prepare the soldiers for battle!" he ordered of a Pirate Commando, and he obeyed without hesitation.

Within an hour, an army of about two thousand Space Pirates were lined up and ready to meet the Kriken Army head-on. Weavel stood on a floating platform along with 50 Pirate Commandos. It was a large platform, and the control box was operated by Weavel himself. He stared down at the army of Space Pirates, and within minutes after saw the Kriken space pods land on their docking bays.

"READY YOUR ARMS!" Weavel screeched loudly, as he saw the Krikens march forward. The Space Pirates all loaded their weapons and cocked their guns, ready for anything.

Then, from the right, a round of fire was shot and instantly killed a dozen Space Pirates. The Krikens were here, but there were only about a hundred.

"That's not all of them, they're spreading out," Weavel said cautiously.

The Space Pirates and Krikens clashed, and although the pirates had a vast amount of soldiers at their disposal, the Krikens were highly skilled and were easily picking off the weaker pirates.

Then, from the left, another unit of Krikens came out, this one was lead by Trace himself. Weavel grunted at his sight and watched as he fired his deadly Imperialist through several Space Pirates.

Weavel then watched as Trace sent his soldiers into battle, while he himself stood their and simply watched. As Weavel looked around and saw his troops falling fast, he decided to take action. He fired up the platform and slowly started moving towards Trace and his top warriors that surrounded him. It was a miracle that Trace hadn't spotted them yet.

Weavel then took out his most deadly weapon, the Battle Hammer. This large gun fired electric bombs in glowing green spheres that would heavily damage anything that it came in contact with. Weavel then fired the Battle Hammer, and it came in direct contact with Trace's gun arm and badly injured him.

"PIRATE COMMANDOS ATTACK!" Weavel ordered, and all fifty of the Pirate Commandos leapt off of the platform. They were far more powerful than normal Space Pirates, and would be a great asset to have on the battlefield.

Weavel then jumped off the platform and landed near Trace, where he was being protected by one of his elite guards.

"You must be General Weavel," the elite Kriken said cockily.

Laughing loudly, Weavel said, "You Krikens are hilarious. Do you honestly think that your pitiful numbers can withstand a force of Space Pirate Commandos? Although Space Pirate Warriors are strong, Pirate Commandos are the most powerful units in the galaxy!" he said braggingly.

The Kriken loaded and aimed his gun, preparing for battle, "You Space Pirates sure do talk a lot, let's see you back it up!" he said fiercely, and fired his gun at Weavel.

Weavel easily jumped over the blast and landed behind the Kriken elite. He then proceeded to unleash his Battle Sword, which was his personal favorite weapon. It was a sharp yellow knife made out of raw energy and solar power that came out about 1.5 feet from his forearm.

General Weavel dashed forward and hacked the Kriken in half, which caused his innards to fly and scatter everywhere. Weavel laughed out loud as he watched one of the most powerful Kriken warriors alive fall so easily.

He then turned around and aimed his Battle Sword at Trace, who was slowly getting up from his wound, "Are you ready Trace?" he asked smugly.

Trace remained silent, and with the words, "Of course," the Kriken Leader fired a blast from the Imperialist. Once again, Weavel dodged the shot. This time, however, he simply had to duck underneath it.

He then charged forward and slashed down hard with his Battle Hammer, which Trace attempted to block with his Imperialist as a shield. As Weavel pressed down harder, he could slowly hear the Imperialist start to crack, just a little more and Trace's best weapon would be destroyed.

Just then, Trace summoned up enough energy to shove Weavel off of him and send him backwards. The Pirate General then watched as Trace fired three missiles out of his arm cannon that came speeding towards him.

Weavel knew what he had to do, so he jumped backwards and fired a charged beam at the missiles, and destroyed the front one. But then, he watched in horror as the remaining to came in direct contact with his battle armor. He was sent flying backwards and slammed against the wall.

As Weavel stumbled to his feet, he looked around and watched as even the Pirate Commandos were getting slaughtered by the Kriken Army, and at that precise moment, Weavel's entire head seemed to split open. And it was only after that he realized that Trace had fired the Imperialist at his helmet, which completely shattered.

Barely alive after the missiles and Imperialist fire, Weavel gasped for breath and put his Battle Sword away. He gripped his throat and fell to his knees, cursing himself for letting down his guard.

Weavel watched as Trace slowly marched forward, he knew what was coming.

As Trace confronted Weavel, he used his right arm, which was long and pointed, to stab Weavel right through the heart. And as the Space Pirate General fell to the ground with his final breath, his only regret was that his dream of ultimate power would never come true.
