Metroid Revolution: Chapter 6
He Screws Up
Samus and the other hunters have been traveling in Samson's ship for just over an hour. They were headed for the space pirate satellite Forager as they called it, to stop them form destroying the Federation. Which Samus wanter to destroy. Ironic, is it not? Anyway, right now Samus was laying on a bed in the back of the ship. She hooked up her personalized computer, Adam, and was talking with him.
"Okay, how do you think SA-X got there?" Samus asked Adam. He didn't respond for a second, but then came up with a theory.
"Maybe when you crashed BSL, not everything inside died. Maybe there's more than one SA-X. Did you blow up BSL?"
"I... I actually can't remember. How sad is that? Honestly, I can't remember if I blew up a freakin' space station."
Adam laughed. "Goes to show how your life is panning out, eh?" He said, chuckling. Samus laughed too.
Then her tone became more serious. "I think you may be right about BSL and the SA-X. But, I'm still baffled at what happened. Metroids? Phazon? I'm confused, to say the very least." Samus lay down on the bed that she was sitting on, running her hand through her long blonde hair.
"As far as I'm aware, you've always been like this. Give it time, things will unfold," he said calmly. Samus was amazed at how accurate the computer was to the actual person. Adam Malkovich. He died to young. Just then, the ships door slid open.
"Samus, we need you up front," came the voice of Hunter Gerhin, who was walking through the door. Samus nodded, took her ice pistol off of a bedstand near her (luxurious ship), and equipped it to her belt. Then, she hopped up, and followed Gerhin to the bridge.
"Samus, hi. Um, how well can you fly a ship?" Reludin asked, as Samus walked in.
"Why?" Samus asked suspiciously. She's had problems working with other people in the past.
"Well... In a few thousand miles there's an asteroid belt. This is a big ship, not good maneuverability. And I can hardly fly," Reludin said, looking down. Samus grinned, shaking her head.
"Move over, I'l fly," she said. Reludin nodded in thanks, and then scooted off the seat to allow Samus to pilot the ship. Samus took a second to get used to the controls, and then was ready to go. After flying for about a minute, she could see the belt. At it, Samus flew through easily. Reludin looked embarrassed. Samus chuckled, moving over and signaling Reludin to start flying once again. He did.
That's when it happened.
An explosion rocked the ship, sending Samson and Samus to the ground. "What what the hell was that?!?" Gerhin called. Samus didn't answer, she just armed her super missiles.
"Everyone, get a suit on. Or a helmet. Were under attack," She said, opening the top hatch of the ship. She dove out, and looked around. There were three pirate capital ships. "Reludin! Gerhin! get up here, I need your help. Samson, you fly. And don't screw up," she added with a wink. Reludin and Gerhin jumped to the top of the ship, and were ready to roll.
"Follow me," Samus commanded. Then, she dove onto one of the enemy capital ships. She signaled the other hunters to come her way. Shooting through the strong alloy of the space pirate ship, the hunters all jumped in. They were greeted inside by five or six space pirates. One had a plasma pistol, which he fired at Samus. she fired an energy beam shot to deflect it, causing the burning liquid to spread all over the section of the ship. One drop hit her visor, which she wiped off. By this time, the other pirates had weapons. Three of them aimed at Samus, two at Reludin, and one at Gerhin. Samus sidestepped, hitting a pirate in the chest with her left hand, casing him to double over. She then fired a fully charges energy beam to his head, severing it from his body.
the corpse fell limp to the ground. "AAH!" Came a scream. Samus snapped her head to see that Gerhin had been hit with a plasma shot. He lay crippled on the ground. Samson ran over to help him, but a pirate lunged at him and tackled him. Now Samus had to help Gerhin. First, she fired an ice beam shot at the pirates that were shooting at her. Then, she shot forward, kicking the pirate that had shot Gerhin in the ribs. It screamed, falling to the floor. After twitching for several seconds, it stopped moving. Samus turned to see that Samson was still grappling with the pirate, so she did him a favor by shooting the thing in it's spine. Samson kicked the corpse away.
By now, Gerhin was up, clutching his side. Samus assumed that's where he was hit. But suddenly a shattering sound came from behind the hunters. They turned to see the two pirates Samus had frozen had broken out of their icy shells. Samus fired a well places spazer beam, killing them both.
"Come on," Samus ordered. "We need to get to the bridge." All the hunters split up, trying to locate the bridge of the ship, in order to crash it. Samus was just hoping that Samson was doing well.
After searching for nearly two minutes, Samus found it. Three pirates sat in identical chairs, with a screen outside. The ship was still pursuing Samson. Samus ran in the room, breaking the neck of one of the pirates. He screamed and fell to he floor. The other two pirates were standing ow, holding plasma pistols. Samus fired energy beams at them, sending then to the floor. She started walking up to turn off the ships autopilot, but then something hit her in the back. Pain shot up her spines, sending her to the floor. She rolled over, just in time. A spiked object smashed the ground where she once lay, cutting into the metal floor.
And then Samus saw what attacked her. It was a space pirate with two, long blades where his hands should be. And his face was deformed as well, swollen and broken. he gave off a slight blue aura. "Remember me?" The pirate asked. And Samus did. That was the pirate from the space pirate ship. The on she threw in the phazon. He survived. Then he lunged forwards, narrowly missing Samus. She turned, and fired a shot aimed at the creatures ribs. He deflected the attack with his bladed hands, and the jumped towards Samus again. He was aiming to kill with his blades aimed at Samus's heart. But then, she grabbed his arm, breaking it with a snap. She then turned it towards his flying body. The blade sliced easily through his skin. He coughed up purple blood, then fell to the ground.
Now Samus had to destroy the ship. She activated the communicator in her helmet. "Gerhin, Reludin, get back to Samson's ship. Our work here is done." Samus then walked up to the ships autopilot, deactivating it. The ship lurched, and the nose pointed down words. Samus ran to the opening she made when she first boarded, and jumped through. Samson was still under attack, but was trying to stay level with the falling pirate capital ship. Samus jumped aboard, crawling through the open hatch.
"Samus, you made it!" Samson called.
"Keep flying," Samus ordered. Then she saw it, the pirate satellite Forager. And she also saw a giant energy beam aiming towards the ship they were in. "Activate lockdown! RUN!!!" Samus called. Samson activated lockdown. The ships blast doors were closing, and Samus dove through, followed by Gerhin, and Reludin. Samson was running, but the giant metal doors were almost down. "Hurry!!!" Samus called. Just Samson's hand made it through, when the door slammed down. Samson screamed, and then the ship shook. They had been hit with the pirate attack. Samson's hand was being pulled. Eventually, the force was strong enough to pull it out of the lock doors. Samus reached for it, but on touched the door.
"No..." Samus said. She looked at a window, and saw Samson floating. Motionless. Dead.
And then came the collision. The ship had hit the pirate satellite. Metal crashed through the huge doors, almost hitting Samus. There was now a clear pathway leading onto the satellite. But they hit its bridge two. Now, the two ships were free falling, aimed directly towards Ceres Station.
