Metroid Revolution: Chapter 3
Ceres Station
"What was that?!?" Reludin yelled. Samus shrugged, setting on her x-ray visor to try and see out of the ships walls. Then she saw it, a space pirate cruiser.
"Space pirate...? But, the treaty!" Samus called. "Open the hatches," Samus told Reludin. He did, and Samus dove out ouf the open hatch.
She landed on the back of the space pirate ship. "Raaaawww!!!" Came the enraged pirate from the inside. Samus equipped her super missiles, and blasted the top of the ship. The missile blew through it like it was made of plaster, and Samus reached inside and pulled the pirate up by his head. Samus pointed her beam at his head, and fired. Purple blood sprayed over the seat, and the space pirates body went limp.
Samus threw the corpse over the edge of the ship. She tried turning the ship to land near hers. Just as the ship crashed onto the ground, Samus dove off. She landed on her ship, and climbed inside. Activating the communicator, she said,
"Reludin, wait for me. We need to get back to Ceres Station, now!"
"Roger that, I'll meet you above," came Reludins voice through the speaker. Suddenly, an explosion rocked Samus's ship. there were more than one of the pirates. She expertly turned her ship, and fired one of her lasers. It hit the pirate ship, which exploded in a ball of flame.
Samus was in shock. What was happening? she shot above the clouds, this time not caring about the weather. Past the atmosphere, she was afraid that Reludin hadn't made it. the good news was, he did.
The bad news was that there was an armada of hundreds of space pirates. Samus saw at least twenty capital ships.
"Reludin, get back to Ceres. I'll hold these guys off," Samus said into the communicator.
"No, I'm helping you. If you-" He began.
Samus cut him off. "Just go!!!" She demanded. She saw Reludin's ship fly off. Now it was her turn to act. Samus armed her missiles, and aimed for the capital ships. She waited for the lock on system to engage, and fired. Ten missiles shot from her ship, each one hitting dead on there mark. The missiles collided with the bridges of the ships, instantly sending them spiraling down to the planet. With that, Samus set her autopilot on home.
After a few hours of flying, Samus made it back to Ceres Station. She was surprised to see, however, that it wasn't under attack. She docked, and everything still seemed normal. She landed, and got out of her ship. She brought her etticoon out too. "Hello?" She called. No reply.
She slowly made her way through the ship, not seeing anybody. Inside her quarters, still nobody.
"SURPRISE!!!" Came the shout from outside Samus's room. she ran outside, looking for somebody. Still no one. She decided to go to the docking bay, to see that it was full of people. She pulled Reludin aside.
"What's going on!?!" Samus shouted over the commotion. Reluding signaled that he couldn't hear her by putting his hand by his ear. "I SAID, WHAT'S GOING ON?!?" Samus shouted as loud as she could. Reludin shrugged and walked off. Luckily, Samus's question was answered just after.
"Silence!" Came the booming voice of General Leefay, amplified all over the bay. "I think you all know why we're here. to celebrate the status of two new hunters... Samson and Gerhin!" With that, the crowd erupted into applause again. This time, Samus could see the new hunters. Samson had brown hair, covering on of his eyes. And Gerhin had darker skin, with spiked black hair.
It was a party. Everyone was cheering, just as they did on the day Reludin was officially granted the status of hunter. Samus, over the initial shock of walking into the party, could finally enjoy herself. She took a glass of pink liquid, and sat down. She always enjoyed these shindigs. Never anything to worry about.
But then, something to worry about happened. The launch bay door unlocked, followed by a grinding noise that meant the door was sliding open.
Flying inside was a command ship. The crowd instantly silenced, followed by the landing of the ship The hatch opened, and General Torrent walked off of the ramp, standing inside the center of the group.
"Samus Aran!" He called. Samus walked up to him. He glared at her.
"Yessir?" Samus asked.
"Why did you destroy ten pirate capital ships?" He demanded, growing angrier.
"Sir, they attacked me," Samus explained. "Me and Reludin were-" The general cut her off.
"You and Reludin weren't assigned a mission on SR-388, now were you?" He asked, holding back his frustration. Samus was now growing angry.
"I hope you realize, General, that I am a bounty hunter. Not a slave of the Federation. And I have one rule. When attacked, retaliate. I merely retaliated." She explained, containing her rage.
"You know that we have a treaty with the space pirates. Are you aware that you could have caused an intergalactic incident?" He told. Samus shrugged.
"Actually, you'd think they have. They are, however, the ones that attacked me." Samus explained calmly.
General Torrent was now turning a deep shade of purple. "Get off Ceres Station. I don't care where you go. You are no longer part of the Federation. Have a nice day," the general spat, turning around to walk back onto his ship.
"There was an armada!" Samus called. General Torrent held up a hand, dismissing Samus. Samus, now shaking in anger, held up a rather rude gesture to the general, and then turned to go back to her room. Samus stormed out, keeping he cool until she left the bay. She screamed, then kept going.
Inside her room, Samus walked up to the small, green etticoon. "Are you gonna abandon me?" Samus asked sarcastically. The small green creature yelped, than ran behind Samus's bed. She rolled her eyes. Now, she needed to pack her things. She went into the room where she kept her upgrades for her suit. She began retrieving her missiles and grapple upgrades, but by the time she began taking out the power-bombs, things got interesting. She got one of them, but then she felt a shock run up her spine.
She fell to the floor, and on her way down, saw a space pirate. Then, she blacked out.
