Behind Cold Metal

Chapter 2: In Captivity

She slowly felt feeling coming back to her. She slowly opened her eyes to see the familiar lens. But through it, all she saw were bleak colours and a figure of Meta Ridley standing, his arms crossed, laughing quietly.

She suddenly jumped to her feet and pointed her arm cannon at him. She looked and saw not an arm cannon, but a hand, before she was grabbed by four large arms and hauled back. She recognized the hands, they belonged to Space Pirates.

"Lively today, huh?" Meta Ridley. "I'm afraid you are in no position to be fighting right now" Samus, who was still tired from just coming to, gathered her breath.

"Where...is my arm cannon!?" she shouted wearily. As Meta Ridley laughed, Samus looked around to find herself in an uncomfortable cell with large bars barring exit, colourless brown walls, a dirty toilet and a metal panel sticking out of the wall with a worn pillow on it.

"I wouldn't bother trying to attack me in any way. Me or my minions. I de-augmented your Power Suit of all of its weapons. You are weapon less, but I let you have the shell of that worthless Power Suit for your own convenience." Meta Ridley explained.

"Where the hell am I..." Samus uttered.

"This is your cell" Meta Ridley said. "And for location, we are in none other than my own abode within the Pirate Homeworld, the headquarters of pain, my castle!!!" he announced, waving his hands. "And you are my special guest. Guards, anesthetize her and lock her up. Don't bother trying to escape, you have no weapons and your visors have been taken away as well" he said.

"Why didn't you kill me?!" Samus exclaimed, life suddenly flowing within her. Meta Ridley became quiet for a second before answering.

"...I haven't decided exactly what to do with you. Killing you without seeing you beg for mercy isn't fun, so I'll be keeping you here in captivity while I decide on what I shall be doing with you. Guards, anesthetize this woman at once. No one will have to stand guard, the cell is 100% inescapable" he said. Samus started to shout and swear, but one of the Pirates holding her grabbed a needle and injected it into her neck through the plating. Samus became limp a few seconds after injection before being thrown on her tacky bed and locking her within the cell.
