Chapter 3 - Into the War
At this time, everyone was too shocked to move. Even Sylux, who would have tried to destroy Federation by now wasn't even moving. The room was filled with dread and terror.
"We do not have much time. The Alimbic Cluster, as you know, is void of any intelligent life. The Goreas will train, reproduce, and evolve. There are still traces of all our affinity weapons left on the planets there. The Goreas will eventually be unstoppable. Whether you are a criminal, hero, or looking for your past, WE MUST FIGHT BACK NOW!" Samus screamed, now out of breath.
"But what if-" Noxus started to say, but was instantly silenced.
"There are no buts in right now. For the next week, we will all be practicing advanced combat techniques, techniques I haven't even mastered yet. The Federation has researched all of your species, and have created new 'powers' for all of you; they are the same powers that the Chozo have invented years ago, the ones that are used in my own power su-"
An alarm suddenly started blaring through the station. Blinding flashes of red lights were everywhere. It was the attack alarm!
"The Goreas have crashed through the docking bay windows! Take evasive action IMMEDIATELY!" screamed one of the guards.
"We have no chance to survive! We must make our time! Everyone, use your alt-forms to go grab your weapons! A path to the docking bay will be lit normally, no alarm lights. Use that path to get the docking bay!" Samus was giving out as many orders as possible in this small amount of time.
At this time, however, Samus remembered the Omega Cannon, still in her bunker, which is the farthest from the docking bay than the other hunters'. She would never make it to the ship, but if she left the Cannon, then one of the Goreas would absorb it. The traits would pass to its offspring. They would all have the Omega Cannon ability, at ten fold. Eventually, they would be able to destroy the entire universe. She must go back and get it.
"Samus, what are you doing!" Sylux screamed. He saw that she was heading for the complete oposite side of the station.
"The Omega Cannon! It's still in my bunker! The Goreas cannot retrieve it!"
"I'll get it! Get back to your ship!" Sylux ordered. Although, the only trust in his voice was fake.
"I can't trust you just yet. We're in a Federation research ship, and everyone knows your grudge against us." Samus then ordered a guard to follow Sylux on his way to the docking bay.
Samus was already almost to her bunker. Getting closer, though, she sensed life.
"That's no guard..."
Next thing she knew, she was face-to-face with another Gorea. But this time, there was no way to fight it without destroying the station. There had to be a way around.
"The leaders are gonna hate me for this..."
Samus then aimed a fully-charged missile directly at a certain point in the wall. It was still being repaired after a major accident months ago. With a deafening explosion, the construction site was yet again an open hole into her bunker.
But then, something quickly grabbed her from behind and started to throw her all around the room! It was a tentacle, the kind that gave the Goreas the hunters' weapons in the first place! But wait. How does it have this ability without the seal sphere! But there was no time to think about that. The tentacle was smashing her against the wall, destroying everything in sight! Then... another tentacle! This one looked more menacing for some reason. Now she knew why. It went straight into her chest like a bullet! Weakening, Samus started to collapse. Everything then went black.
Samus came to several hours later. Where was she? She looked around, seeing a very primitive-looking ship. Made of... rocks? Looking out the ship's window, she found her own ship being towed by this one. Then she realized. She was in Spire's ship.
"Spire? What the heck happened?"
"So, you're awake. Anyway, we were all in the docking bay when we realized that you were missing. The others didn't care. But I know what it's like to lose a... never mind. Never mind. Just a flashback from my past, before the rest of the Diamonts went extinct, when I was only about two. I still don't know what happened... Anyway, the others were already leaving, but I decided to run back. I remembered you talking about an "Omega Cannon" and figured you were trying to retreive it before a Gorea did."
Samus then looked down at her arm cannon. "Oh... my... God... That Gorea... it sapped the Omega Cannon right out of me!"
"WHAT! Isn't that the ultimate power we all heard about? And they took the whole thing... not just a small part like that other Gorea did with the rest of us.. If that's true, then the Goreas will eventually have an army of Omega Cannon users! I'll tell you the rest later. Right now, we gotta catch up with the others and find the Gorea that took the Cannon."
The ship then went into max speed. The Gorea's had the Omega Cannon, able to be passed easily to other Goreas, due to their ability to absorb weapon shots. The war was over before it started...
