A/N: I am uploading this at 0536 hours (that is 5:36 AM for those who don't use the 24-hour system), so please forgive me for any errors.
A/N 6/6/13: Working on redoing the whole story with better details, editing, and overall just tidying up the story. Yes, I will finish it, but now I just need to clean it up before I get started on new content.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what I came up with!
Chapter I
Samus frantically maneuvered her ship to avoid laser cannon fire coming from a Federation destroyer. Practically overnight, in fact less than 12 hours after leaving the station, she became Galactic Enemy Number One, all thanks to her crazy ass mission on the Biological Space Labs (BSL) space station above what was at one point planet SR388.
The planet was destroyed by her altering the orbital path of the station so it would crash into the planet. The resulting explosion from the crashing station, the reactors and self-destruct explosives was equal to dozens 100-megaton nuclear warheads detonating simultaneously. The planet was shaken to the core and was quite possibly still breaking apart. Chances of anything surviving were so slim that the odds of survival, even for the X-parasites, were so close to zero that it was not worth the effort of calculating.
Unfortunately the Federation higher-ups and the owners of the station were not particularly thrilled about the destruction of their Metroid breeding program, the space station, a planet, and the X-parasites, which they deemed a highly valuable specimen to study for military applications.
Now Samus was truly alone in her battles. Her list of allies and sanctuaries was growing thin, plus her former employer had turned against her and was hunting her. It wouldn't be long before every other piece of scum that she had a bad encounter with was also on her tail for the rather huge bounty on her head. The closest thing she had to an ally at the moment was the downloaded mind of Adam Malkovich, her old CO from years ago.
"Samus, I detect three more Federation ships closing on our location" Adam announced through the ships speakers.
"What type are they?" she half yelled to the AI, too busy with flying to look for them.
"One carrier and two corvettes; it appears they are holding nothing back to capture you alive Lady."
Samus chuckle at that. "The Federation has sent a fleet after me."
"It appears so. Fighter are being deployed!" Adam warned.
"Oh hell!" She returned bitterly.
Silence filled the cabin once again as the battle out in the vacuum of space raged. The newly arrived Federation ships maneuvered to close off any escape route. Samus saw what they were doing and dodged the incoming fire from the fighters as they chased her. With the odds mounting against her, she wondered how long she could avoid capture.
"Adam, how long until we can jump?" She inquired.
After several seconds he answered. "I calculate that a jump is possible if you can avoid fire for ten three minutes. Loading possible jump points now."
As the ship fought for survival five more Federation ships came out of slip space to join the pursuit. The new arrivals consisted of two destroyers, two more corvettes, and a battleship. It was now nine fully crewed and armed warships plus their fighter squadrons against Samus Aran.
Samus was immediately barraged by fire of every kind from the Federation. Despite all of her battle and flight prowess, she could not avoid all shots. Several blasts took out several of her thrusters, making maneuvering possible but much more difficult to do. Another hit finally eliminated her main engines, effectively crippling her. The fight was over.
In the cockpit, Samus tried franticly to find some way to move, but to no avail. She, Adam, and the creatures she saved from the station, were at the mercy of the Federation.
A transmission soon came in from one of the ships. "Samus Aran," a female voice said, "you are completely surrounded, crippled, and under arrest by order of the Chancellor of the Galactic Federation. Surrender now or we will we fire!"
Samus opened an audio channel to the speaker. "Identify yourself; I want to know who this is."
"This is Fleet Admiral Ferdinand, commander of the Federations 4th Expeditionary Fleet."
The answer was not what she had expected. The 4th fleet was famous for its campaigns against the Space Pirates in their own territory, and succeeding with devastating results. That fleet was hardened and always meant business.
"Adam, what course of action would you consider right now?" she bleakly asked her AI as she slumped into the pilot's seat.
It took a few seconds for him to answer. "Under these circumstances, and our present predicament… surrender is the best option right now. I do not know what will happen after you are arrested however."
Frustration, anger, and defeat was all she felt, but Adam was right. Samus once again opened the channel. "This is Samus Aran… and I surrender" she announced over the radio.
One of the corvettes started to make maneuvers to capture the ship.
OK, I know this was short and not very interesting at the moment, but I will try to make the others longer and better. Please review, and no flames!
A/N: Fixed it up, reviews and opinions would be appreciated.
