Metroid Revolution: Chapter 5

Allies and Enemies

And All That Squishy Stuff In Between

Part 1

"No..." Samus said. "How?" She walked forward, not effected by the mutations. She had been in so much phazon in the past, it didn't matter to her anymore. It made a soft squish as she walked on it, when something hit her in the back of the head. She turned to see none other than a fission metroid. "What my life is doing lately," Samus said, arming her plasma beam. She fired at the metroid, missing, but the heat set one of its tentacles on fire. It squealed in pain, and smashed against one of the phazon covered walls. But, other metroid were there too. They heard the first one, and a dozen more came flying in. Samus knew that she couldn't beat them. She had to run. She equipped her super-missiles once again, and fired three blind shots at the cluster of parasites. Then, Samus fired at the wall behind her, causing blue phazon to explode around the room. The hole in the wall was smaller than she had expected, the walls must have been reinforced incase of the phazon leaking through.

Which was about to happen.

She went into morph ball mode, and rolled through the small gap in the structure. On the other side, she went back into her regular mode, slightly dazed. Like usual after going into morph ball. Earn! Earn! Earn! Came the blaring sound of the alert in the pirate base. A blue light was flashing on and off. One space pirate ran passed Samus, who tripped in a small puddle of phazon. His roars echoed through the station. The phazon was mutating him, and he wasn't strong enough to withstand. He stood up, feebly attempting to grab the ever spreading blue ooze off of his face. All that accomplished was getting more phazon on his hands. He screamed even louder, but it was muffled by the phazon on his face. He fell to the ground, writhing and twitching. Then he went limp.

Samus didn't have time to feel sorry for the victim. She dive rolled across the room, in case of enemy fire. There was. Space pirates armed with plasma and laser weaponry were running around the chamber, frantically trying to kill the bounty hunter. Luckily for Samus, she's dealt with space pirates before. She armed some missiles, and fired a few feet in front of the running targets. They each hit, sending blood flying around everywhere. Samus had to wipe some off of her visor. But then something she didn't see coming. Something she though- No, she knew was dead. Walking in from the next room was...

SA-X. One of the many. It stared at Samus with her pupil-less eyes. Samus was frozen in fear. And thats about when the fission metroids found the opening in the room that they were locked in. They shot out of the small hole Samus made one by one, all locked on to on target. Samus. Naturally. She turned and fired her plasma cannon in a desperate attempt to stop them. And then she realized that she wasn't the target. SA-X was. Samus had forgotten that SA-X was created from the X-Parasite, one of the metroid natural prey. The target was SA-X. Until Samus fired her plasma beam, that is. They realized that the danger was Samus, and went in for the attack. Samus used the screw attack to jump backwords, electric energy sizzling around her. And her spinning body came into collision with SA-X. She fell smoldering to the floor. Samus jumped out of the same door that her X clone came from, and using her scan visor, sealed it behind her.

Samus knew she didn't have long. Thumps on the metal door were already taking place, leaving small dents. She had to escape quickly. She ran through the metal sliding door nearest to her, and blew it down with her super-missiles. She figured she could of just gone through and it would of slid open, but why not? She almost smiled. Almost. Because when the shrapnel and smoke from the metal door cleared, she saw none other than her gunship. And several space pirates welding it, maybe even making modifications. Samus knew why, they were probably trying to steal the Federation technology. She equipped her wave beam, and set on the all powerful 'Wavebuster.' Techonology that she had found on her conquest from Tallon IV. She aimed the weapon, and fired. The electrical current shop through the gunship, knocking all of the space pirates off. Samus fired her beam at the smoking pirates on the ground, instantly killing them. Boom!The door that had trapped the metroids, and SA-X, was getting extremely dented. Samus needed to get off. She ran to her ship, ready to jump into the cockpit. She dove, and was then tugged back by something grabbing onto her ankle. More like leeching. She looked to see that the metroids had gtten through, and one had her by the ankle. She curled her fingers into a fist, and punched the tentacle as hard as she could. It severed, and the host metroid shrieked. Clear metroid blood was spilt all over the floor. Now was Samus's chance to get to the ship.

She dove forward, this time reaching her destination. She jumped inside, and prepared to take off. It shook to life, and Samus flew forward, smashing through the docking bay. She was in space. She swiveled her gunship to see that the pirates had built there own station. Samus would have destroyed it, like usual, but she had to save Ceres Station. She set her ship to full speed, and was off.

Part 2

After flying for about an hour, Samus was finally in distance for her tracker to locate the station. She set it on autopilot, then went back to sit down. The etticoon in the ship crawled on her lap, and curled into a ball. He fell asleep.

After another two or so hours, Samus heard the autopilots mechanical voice. "20000 Miles to Ceres Station." Samus gently awoke the small green creature on her legs, and one he jumped down, she hopped up. Samus walked to the control room, where she turned off autopilot. She set her speed down slightly, then was on her way.

Another five minutes until she could see Ceres Station. She armed her ships missiles. She only had ten left, the other half she had used to attack the space pirates. She stopped her ship, then activated her logbook, built into her suit. Accessing scanned file 1328, Space Pirate Computers. Opening files. Warning- Files corrupted. Continue? Continuing... Pirate Computers. Ceres Station will be destroyed using SL-1, 50 charged. Coordinates, Sec. 5-1-3 Z-12. 1-2, 2-1, 8-9, 9-8. Evacuate from Ceres perimeter. Log ended. Continue searching? Shutting down.

The scan visor went blank. Samus knew she couldn't destroy the Pirate weapon with her ship. She needed help. She reactivated her ships engines, and went back on her way to Ceres Station.

Samus could now clearly see Ceres Station. She could just as easily see the ship bay opening. And she saw the Federation Class fighter ships swarming out. And she could also see that they were headed in her direction. She could also see lasers being fired at her. Then, Samus fired her ships missiles. Only five. It was enough to destroy most of the fleet, the rest of the Federation fighters scrambled. Samus set up to full speed, trying to get inside Ceres before the launch bay closed. Explosions rocked her ship, but Samus kept going. The front pane of her ship cracked, sparks were flying everywhere. Controlling the ship was zeroing in on impossible. Samus did a three-sixty rotation, crash landing at the docking bay. Hew wing clipped the side of the door, sending her spiraling, inside the station. Samus activated the emergy escape, and shot out. But she couldn't help but look as her gunship crashed into the wall, erupting in a a ball of fire and shrapnel. Samus landed at the docking bay floor, and sprinted forward.

At her room, the door was locked. She kicked it open and ran inside. "Adam! Eject hard drive now!" Samus commanded, frantically equipping her suit, and getting all she needed. She heard the jjjt sound behind her, similar to a dvd coming out of a laptop. She took the small chip, and pocketed it. Once packed, Samus went into the computer in her room to locate the rooms of the other hunters, Reludin, Samson, and Gerhin. she first ran to Reludin's room. He'd understand. She sprinted to his chamber, and kicked the door open.

"Whoa... Samus? What are you doing here? How did you get in here?" He asked, confused. Samus told him to sit down, and she explained her story of what happened.

"And now they're after me, and they know I'm on this ship," Samus concluded. Reludin nodded.

"We need to get the other hunters." That's exactly what they did. Samus and Reludin located the two new hunters, persuading them to come and help. They both agreed.

"We need to get a ship," Samus told the group. Samson was the first one to speak up.

"I have one, meant for six people, but we should be able to fly it. Easy," he said.

"Excellent, great," Samus said, almost to herself. That's when a laser shot flew through the air, rebounding off of one of the metallic walls. The hunters turned to see some Federation guard, aiming to kill. Samus sent a grappling beam in his direction, slamming him into a wall.

"Run," she commanded to the rest of the group. They instantly obliged. The hunters ran together through Ceres Station, until eventually making it back to the docking bay.

"Over here!" Samson called, running towards his ship. Everyone else followed. "Oh, Samus?" He said, slowing down.

"Yah?" She asked.

"I'm kinda new. I have the really annoying tendency of screwing up," he said.

"Samson, listen. If there's ever a time not to screw up, make it now." Samus said sternly. He sheepishly nodded. And then, the hunters jumped into the ship.
