Metroid Prime: Dark Hunter
Chapter II - Call to Arms
A Federation fleet is patrolling an unknown region of the galaxy, after being told some remnaint ships of space pirates were in the sector. Admiral Dane is on charge, and wants to make sure none will escape.
"Prepare the fleet for combat. I know they are somewhere." Dane orders, the comunications woman transmiting it. The fleet readies weapons and other systems, going in groups of ten, in the least, pratolling the whole area arround the uncharted planet.
Soon, the ships of the space pirates are revealed, in which they attempt to flee without much concern for partnership, most of the ships had their engines ready, entering warp speeds. "Fire!" The Admiral commands, and the unfortunate delayed vessels were shot down mercilessly, dimishing the pirate's threat even further.
"Sir, they fleed towards the other planets." A man informs the admiral, as his eyes keep watching the pirate's moves in the radar. "Chase them down. Divide the fleet, make sure not a single ship escapes." Dane looks at the woman. "Also, inform to not follow them in case of long range weaponry. This looks like a ambush." And so it is done. The Admiral stands tall, his hand behind his back, the idleness of a leader as he stares to the unfolding situation.
The fleet is divided in three, and upon arrival of each squad at the destination, they are able to destroy and annihilate most of others that previously escaped. About two ships we left, one of them not lasting much longer, as the G.F.S Olympus shoots them with the main cannon, obliterating the space pirate's ship completly. The other is turning arround the planet, while the squad divides itself further, to ambush the pirates round side of the planet. It's then known that they had descended into the cloudy planet, similar to Aether.
The Admiral's orders were clear, so the squad reagrouped and kept the planet under vigilance, as the flagship arrived for backup, along with the rest of the fleet. "They have nowhere to flee anymore. Mobilize half the fleet to descend. We are routing off these pirates once and forever." He orders, always aware and waiting for further updates. "In the meantime, the rest of the fleet will search for data in the ship's wreckage. We need to know the location of the other resistances." The fleet carry out the ruthless Admiral's orders with determination, without failing a single node in the chain of command.
A few hours pass by, and the fleet returns sucessful form the planet. Dane smiles at the resolution. "Any valuable information mined?" He asks hopefuly. "There is data relating to new space pirate's research platforms and bases, aswell as their locations. They are researching debris of the planets Phaaze and SR-388, sir, and intend to replicate some form of weapon with it." The woman informs, and the Admiral gaze sets on the main screen. "We are returning home then. This must reach the Federation HQ." With the last order of the day, the fleet makes it's way towards Earth.
The information about this new plan of the space pirates concerns alot the Federation, forcing them to take action, and form a plan. That's when Dane sugests the hiring of the renowned bouty hunter, Samus. The distrusts on her relatively recent action make this sugestion unplausible, but the decision wasn't hard to take. If the space pirates are planning something out big with phazon and the X menace, Samus must be called to arms, even though theses threats were long dealt with.
