AN: This is one of those really big chapters that I mentioned in the last chapter. (This is a pretty violent chapter, so viewer discretion is advised)
Encounter and Ridley
When Snake turned around to see who had caught him, he was surprised to see not some kind of monster of some kind, but some kind of orange cyborg. It didn't appear to be one of the sentries he saw while he snuck into the base. He squinted his eyes a bit to try and see behind the machine's visor, he noticed a pair of eyes, they were feminine.
"Hands behind your head" the cyborg ordered.
Instead of obeying the cyborg's orders, Snake retorted "You know screaming inside an enemy base isn't too bright."
Samus growled, infuriated at this man's arrogance.
Snake took his chance while the cyborg was in thought; he rolled to the side and threw a grenade. Samus immediately retaliated by firing a missile at Snake.
Their battle had begun
Meanwhile beneath Snake and Samus's duel, behind the glass window, the villains were about to begin there meeting.
Among them was the Space Pirate leader himself Ridley. Ridley was requested to attend this meeting by the sponsor of the meeting, Master Hand. While waiting for the other villains to arrive Ridley noticed on the floor above him several laser blasts and explosions. He recognized the lasers and missiles being fired, they belonged to his arch enemy Samus Aran. But who did the other shots belong to?
Ridley smirked to himself, if Samus's "combatant" puts up a strong enough fight to weaken her, he would arrive once the combatant was defeated and finish Samus for good.
After rolling away from a blast from Samus's arm cannon, Snake turned on his codec, and contacted Otacon.
"Otacon, who is this broad?" Snake growled
"Oh no, Snake that's Samus Aran, the most renowned bounty hunter in the galaxy!" Otacon replied frantically. "Why is she attacking you?"
"She attacked me out of the blue for no apparent reason, THAT'S WHY!" Snake snapped at Otacon. After regaining his calm Snake asked "How do I defeat her?"
"Snake, all I can do is wish you luck in defeating her" Otacon said, sad about the fact he couldn't help his friend.
Snake turned off his codec, and ran towards Samus while uncocking a chaff grenade. When the grenade exploded Samus noticed her weapons weren't working. Samus growled to herself, knowing now she would have to fight Snake in hand-to-hand combat, until the chaff grenade's effects wore off, she muttered under her breath, "Damn, he's good".
Samus saw Snake charge at her signaling that he was going to strike her. Samus quickly dodged Snake's attack, When Snake's attack missed, Samus quickly ran over and thrusted her arm cannon into his stomach. Snake felt the wind knocked out of him, but he remained in his CQC stance. Snake quickly regained his composure fast enough to catch Samus's armored foot as she tried to axe kick him while he was recovering. He threw her foot back, which threw her off balance, now while she was recovering he dashed over to her and delivered a knee thrust into her abdomen, and quickly followed up with a roundhouse kick.
Samus hit the ground with a thud, while getting up she noticed that the effects of the chaff grenade had worn off, which meant her weapons were working again. She quickly got up, and fired an ice missile which froze Snake's feet to the floor she then charged up her arm cannon and fired it at Snake.
When the charged shot hit him, Snake felt a sharp pain ring throughout his body. He than smacked into a wall from the force of the shot, he slowly felt his whole world go black.
After seeing Snake get struck down by Samus's charged shot, Ridley saw his chance to finally end Samus Aran were she stood,. Oh, how he was going to enjoy this.
Samus looked over her power suit she noticed it was badly damaged in some areas, but nothing her ship could not fix. She was about to make her way back to her ship for repairs, but was stopped by an earsplitting screech, her eyes widened she knew that noise anywhere. She got down on one knee, and aimed her arm cannon around. Things seemed back to normal until all of a sudden Ridley burst through one of the large doors, and grabbed Samus with his claws.
Ridley brought Samus close to his face and screeched at her. Samus lifted her arm cannon, in attempt to fire at him. Ridley noticed this, and decided to tighten his grip on her until a sickening crunch was heard; he had just broken her firing arm. Samus cried out in pain, Ridley smirked. Ridley then used his jaw to rip off bits and pieces of Samus's power suit, he then proceeded to throw her to the ground and smack her with his tail.
Samus, now losing blood and consciousness, tried to stand up, but fell pitifully in this attempt, much to Ridley's delight. She then slowly slipped out of consciousness, knowing full well that Ridley was going to kill her.
Snake began to wake up from his unconscious state. As soon as he awoke he noticed he was staring at some kind of "pterodactyl" thing with its back to him, he also noticed Samus lying in a heap in front of the dinosaur. He slowly reached for his codec to get in contact with Otacon.
"Otacon, there is some kind of purple pterodactyl here". Snake said skeptically.
"SNAKE, that's Ridley, he's Samus's enemy!" Otacon replied horrified.
"Her enemy huh, maybe that explains why she's lying in heap in front of him" Snake said bluntly.
"WHAT!" Otacon replied confused. "Snake, Ridley's the leader of the Space Pirates; he's the one who killed Samus's parents." Otacon said solemnly.
"So wait your telling me this prehistoric monster was the one who killed Samus's parents" Snake said sorrowfully.
"Yes" Otacon replied "Snake you have to help her."
Snake turned off his codec, and then looked at Ridley and then at Samus. Snake felt pity for Samus, because this bastard was the one who killed her parents and now he was going to kill her too.
Well, he wasn't going to let that happen.
AN: Warned you about this being a violent chapter, but who cares Snake and Samus's lives are all about violence. Sry about the cliffhanger ending but it sets the stage for the next couple of chapters.
