Sazel replied, "Excellent, but you'll still recquire and Ice Beam to have that Ice Burst, which will prove considerably effective against Retry." He pressed a button on his command center and a status report came up. "Plozzor Inum hull repairs 50% complete." A message on his screen came up. "Rumor has it, there is a set of those rare Golden Arm Lasers in the Pirate Base. It has been said their plan is to give these Arm Lasers to Retry, to replace his Silver ones." The message read. "Sent by: Adam Malkovich." The message also said. "Adam, how did he get informed about Retry?" Sazel asked. The door behind him slid open, and someone stepped in. "Samus sent the earlier message to three places, your base, GF Head Quarters, and my base. Retry is an official Class 5 threat to anyone in his path." Adam Malkovich said. "Remember the last time we had a Class 5, the highest threat?" Sazel asked. "Yeah, the assault on K2L. But the last Class 5 isn't important, the current one is." Adam said. Sazel nodded. Everything went red.
Samus lost connection with the Plozzor Inum. She was worried but knew that sitting around wondering would do nothing to help. She opened the door and continued through it to find an empty hallway. Not a single door, except for the ones at the end of each side of the hallway. She opened the door and continued through another room, until she found something. A Map Station, hidden behind a thin, movable wall. She kicked it down and loaded the map into her system. An update appeared, "New system: insert DNA sample of a person and you can track said person as long as they are on the premises of this map!" She looked all around the room and saw a few bottles of water in a garbage can. She picked one up and scanned it in the Map station. It allowed her to lock on to Mikerus's location. The second bottle allowed her to track the Space Pirate scientist. The third was Retry's. She had him locked on. She activated a feature on her map to allow the Plozzor Inum to see her map and track Retry, Mikerus and the scientist. "We are sorry to inform you, the base you are attempting to hook your map system with is under attack, has a virus, or doesn't have a working system." "None of those possibilities sound good. I hope they are okay.." Samus said, continuing to the next room.
"Hey, Retry, it seems we've been locked onto by Samus. She used the water bottles as DNA samples. It says she attempted to connect her map system to the Plozzor Inum's. But she failed because the GF base is under attack." Mikerus said. "Wait, we didn't launch our assault yet, did we?" Retry said. "No, we have to get to the cloning chamber to do that." The scientist said. Retry laughed, "So they're being attacked by a group we didn't even send out? Great! That's like a bonus assault." Retry looked at Mikerus and they high-fived. "Well, we should hurry up, if we start our assault while the unknown force is attacking, we can team up with them." Mikerus said. "Warning, base is under attack. Similar forces are attacking here that are attacking the Plozzor Inum." The three of them stopped in their tracks. "Fuck." Retry muttered. Everything went red.
Three years prior: Marena Kithera was part of the Galactic Federation. Her Commanding Officer was Adam Malkovich, and she was an incredible soldier. She was also genius, thinking of many improvements to currently powerful weapons. Then, a dark day for many came. She invented a device, an ultimate weapon, in fact. The only downside is that it feeds off of the Bio-Energy of both its victims and users. She had proposed the idea to Adam, who refused to let it become mass-produced. She then rebeled against the Federation, and gathered an army, many of which armed with the Kither-Rifle, the name of her weapon. The Kithera army has been on the low for two years, until Phazon had started, then she started harvesting and selling the chemical. Now she has many advanced ships, and several bases. Her last battle with the Federation allowed her forces to steal advanced weaponry suits.
"We're doomed." Sazel said. "Not quite, my base is heading here now, in about ten minutes they should start to counter-attack these unknown enemies." Adam said. The Holo-Screens turned to static, and then showed Marena's image. "Hello, Plozzor Inum, you have thirty minutes to surrender. If you do not surrender to me, I will destroy this base and everyone onboard." Her image disappeared and showed a timer counting down from thirty minutes. Sazel and Adam looked at each other.
"We need to stop this at once, we need to gather our troops and go into-" Sazel stopped.
"Lockdon Mode..." Adam said fearfully.
Sazel walked through the doorway into the hall to go and find his troops. "Wait," Adam said, "I have a plan."
Brandishing her weapon, Marena Kithera walked over to her moniter, checking the countdown time yet again. The AI system she built into her suit projected itself in front of her. "You seem quite angered, but you should be happy, from information I've gathered about revenge." Marena grinned "I am happy, I'm fucking ecstatic. I can finally get back at Adam for rejecing my idea, he had me court-martialled after I used it during an interrogation. Plus, the Pirate base has some weapons that I don't need, but I don't want anybody else to have." Her AI system pulled up a report from a scan of the Pirate base. "Warning: There is an incredibly powerful creature on the Pirate base, some sort of Metroid infused with Phazon. I suggest extreme caution when dealing with this creature. It is called Retry" The AI system beeped off. Marena turned toward a window to her right. She looked out at the Pirate base and said, "Retry, you'd better watch out."
"We'd better get going, it says on the map the invasion is starting at the entrnce, and we're pretty far away from there." Mikerus said. "Yes, the invaders shoud get to our location in approximately thirty minutes, unless we move fast." The scientist said. They started to head down the hall, looking left and right in case there were any doors. Retry broke their silence.
"Hey, what is your name?" Retry asked, looking across at the scientist.
"My name is Trikad. I thought you'd never ask." He said, glancing at Retry.
They stopped cold once they came to a door, shooting it and entering slowly. The room appeared to be a dead end, until they saw a Morph Ball tunnel at the bottom of the wall in front of them. "What the fuck is this?" Retry said, staring at the small tunnel. "It's a Morph Ball tunnel, like Samus uses when she turns into a ball." Trikad said. Retry and Mikerus looked at each other and grinned. "Hand me the orb." Retry said. Mikerus took the orb out of the carrying bag and gave it to Retry.
"Morph Ball." He said. the orb surrounded him in a glowing, blue Power Suit-like armor. He rolled into a ball and shot through to the other side of the tunnel. He exited Morph Ball mode and removed the suit, which turned back into an orb. He rolled it through the tunnel, so Mikerus and Trikad could come through as well.
Anthony jumped out of the way of most of the Arm Laser bursts, but some still hit him. He spun through the air and punched the Space Pirate in the face. He kicked the gun out of his hands and activated his Arm Lasers. The Pirate activated his and they clashed them together. Anthony jumped to the side and cut the Pirate's arm. The Pirate lunged at Anthony, attempting to stab him in the stomach. Anthony rolled aside, and then dug his Arm Laser into the Pirate's skull.
Mechrozz slowly, ever so slowly, walked up the steps to the top of the ship tower. After his defeat, he had called up his ship and stayed in it while it repaired his legs. His ship informed him of this one, and he activated self-restoration mode, where it uses large amounts of energy and removes speed to repair his legs. He had heard rumors, but he still couldn't believe it. He reached the top of the tower.
"Is the sweet maiden at the top of this tower?" He said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh, shut up, what do you want?" Marena said.
He smiled and walked over to her, "Well, my dear," he said, stroking her hair, "I want to team up with you. I want to kill Anthony Higgs, Samus Aran, and Retry."
Trikad slowly sidled along the wall, avoiding the security cams.
"Why the hell would these go off at us we're Pirates. What would it even do, anyway?" Trikad said irratably.
Retry turned to him, "These thing have Ice Beams built in, and they fire them faster than we can. If one of us was to even activate an Arm Laser, it'd freeze us on the spot." He said, nearing the door.
They reached the door and shot it open, watching it slide open. They saw a computer module, displaying: Com systems off. Enter code to activate. "Code?" Retry said quizically, "Oh, wait." He said. He typed in M3CH4PH1R0TH, and it said: Com systems online.
"Great, I have a plan." Retry said as he pressed a button on his Arm Laser, pulling up a holo-screen. He hacked into the Plozzor Inum's communication system. "Hello," He said into the speaker, "I'd like to make a compromise."
They weren't okay, nobody was. That horrifying realization came to Samus when she was walking to the next room. A message on her suit came up and informed her that wireless com systems were activated. Her suit said: Retry is attempting to communicate with the Plozzor Inum. Do you want to tap into the coversation? "Yes," Samus said.
Incoming message from Retry. Do you wish to accept the message? "Yes." Sazel said.
"Hello, Plozzor Inum and its passengers, I'd like to make a compromise." Retry said, putting on a smile.
"It depends on what you want." Adam said.
Retry smiled, "Well, as you know, both my base and your base are under attack by this force. There is a very powerful cannon on my base. I can use it to stop these enemy forces in their tracks," Retry's smile faded, "However, it recquires Energy Cubes, fifty of them if we want to use a high power blast. Then this enemy will be out of my hair and yours."
Sazel and Mikerus looked at each other, "It seems like a fair deal, but how do we know you won't attack us with the cannon?" Sazel said.
"The cannon was designed for single-use. The tower it's on will start to shatter after I destroy the unknown forces. Besides, If I want to destroy the federation, I'll destroy it myself." Retry said.
"I think we should accept." Sazel said.
Adam stepped back, "Are you crazy? He's the enemy!"
"We have fifteen minutes until Marena attacks, do you have a better way to stop her?" Sazel said.
Samus listened intently. "Excellent," She heard Retry say, "I'll open up an access point for you to drop off the cubes." The com feed was cut, and she walked to the next room.
"So, the Federation made a deal with Retry to stop Marena. I need to make sure he doesn't turn and attack the Federation." She thought. She checked her map, and saw Retry's icon heading towards a tower. "I've got to follow him." She thought.
"So, to stop these assholes that are attacking us we've got to get to the top of this huge-ass tower?" Trikad said.
"Yep." Retry said. He opened the door and headed up the stairs to the top of the tower, unaware that in another tower, people were plotting to destroy him.
"So Retry is vulnerable to cold?" Marena asked. She laughed. "All I need is one Ice blast and that bastard will be dead."
"Trust me, he's very powerful, the Pirate base has been sending his scan data to other bases. Space Pirates like to brag." Mechrozz said. "Soon I'll be able to brag that I killed Marena Kithera." He said, jumping from his chair.
Marena jumped up and reached for her Kither-Rifle. Mechrozz had taken it. He shot at her, but she dodged and kicked the weapon out of his hand; it smashed against the wall. He screamed in frustration.
"I'm almost at the tower, sir." The Federation trooper driving the cargo ship said. He was reporting to Adam, his C.O. He saw the tower, and slowly approached. "Drop cargo." He said to his computer. The latches holding the humongous crate retracted into the ship, dropping it onto the tower landing pad.
The crate landed with a thud as Retry, Trikad, and Mikerus arrived at the top of the tower. "It really needs fifty energy cubes?" Mikeru said, marveling at the ten foot tall crate.
"No," Retry grinned, "It needs five. We'll save the remaining ones and sell them."
Trikad laughed, "Genius! We could buy a bunch of hitmen, weapons, bases, anything we need." Mikerus nodded. He pressed the OPEN button on the crate, and he saw a huge stack of glowing, yellow cubes with orbs in the centers. The corners were covered in metal, to contain the energy. He picked up an orb and loaded it into the cannon.
"You guys gonna help?" He said, raising an eyebrow.
Mechrozz jumped up and punched Marena in the face. He swung again, but missed, and he grabbed her and tossed her on the ground. She jumped up with her Arm Lasers activated, and swung at him. He dodged and brought his Arm Laser down on Marena's shoulder, severing the limb.
The cannon rose up from the tower and charged up its green laser blast. "WARNING: You have approximately one minute to evacuate the tower. Elevator activated. Select which things you'd like to be broughtdown out of the tower in the module here. Retry ran over and selected the pile of cubes, Mikerus, Trikad and himself. The elevator started going down.
45 Seconds remaining. The elevator continued down.
30 Seconds remaining. They weren't even half way down the tower yet.
15...14...13...12...11...10...9...8...7... They were close to the bottom, but Trikad worried they wouldn't make it.
5... The energy from the cannon was starting to come down and destroy the top parts of the tower.
4...3...2...1. The elevator dropped them and the tower was completely destroyed by the energy. On a monitor it showed the cannon blast hitting Marena's ship.
"Hand over rulership to me now before I kill you, slut!" Mechrozz said, rubbing his Arm Laser in Marena's wound. She ran away from him, but she fell to the ground a moment later. "I'll ask again," He said, walking towards her slowly. Suddenly, the cannon blast hit the part of the control room where he stood. The ship was split in half, and walls came up to prevent oxygen level decrease. She walked to the Bionics Lab to replace her lost arm. It was time to launch the assault. It was time for Adam Malkovich to pay.
The Energy Cubes were sent on the transit unit to the clone area. It led only to the clone area, so Retry, Mikerus and Trikad couldn't use it to obtain the Golden Arm Lasers, so they decided to go by foot. Retry contacted the Pirates at the Cloning Area, "Guys, send a Ridley clone to the Plozzor Inum."
Retry contacted the Plozzor Inum. "Thanks for giving me the 45 extra Energy Cubes. HAHA!"
Through gritted teeth, Sazel said, "You bastard! Samus is coming for you, and when she gets to you, you're DEAD!"
"Cool story, bro." Retry said. "Oh, Sazel, guess what?"
Sazel's left eye twitched. "What?"
"This." Retry said. A green Ridley crashed through the giant screen displaying Retry's image. It grappled on to Adam and launched him into the hallway. A smaller screen displayed Retry laughing hysterically.
"Oh shut up." Adam said coolly as he shot the screen.
"What the-" Samus said as she entered the room. A huge robot sat before her. It had short, stubby arms, and huge legs. The two glowing eyes were green. Samus walked up to it. She waved her hand in front of it. She walked away, and shot the door. She looked back. It still didn't move. She walked up to a small shelf to her left. She touched a cup left on it. The door slid open. She was about to step out when the cup fell off the shelf. "SYSTEMS ACTIVATED." The robot said as it rose up.
"What. The. Fuck? Are you serious?" Samus said.
"Yes I am quite serious about my mission. My mission to destroy Samus Aran." The robot said as it looked down on her.
"Load up missles and lasers on this thing, m'kay?" Marena said in the Bionics Lab.
The scientist nodded, "Yes, would you also like some of those small, flying robots that you can shoot out of the arm?"
"I forgot about those. Add them. And give them the ability to shoot lasers and explode. Make sure the missles are loaded with liquid nitrogen." She said. One hour later, her new arm was all set. "Let's test this out." Ridley crashed through the ceiling. "Perfect." Marena said.
"Everything is going according to plan." A person somewhere said.
