by theclownsarethere

9. Chapter 9

To Samus Aran.

From: Ridley.

Subject: You're Humble Abode.

Welcome to my ship, bounty hunter! I have to say it's nice you decided to rest and drain my ship's little power for your own personal usage at one of our recharge stations. By all means make yourself at home.

So do you like the design, I know we need a new interior decorator, but otherwise it's sweet right? Who am I kidding? You love it here Samus. You love seeing the corpses of my people scattered through here, most dead or dying in pain. I'm sure you get a sadistic rush from it.

Nevertheless I'm still waiting for you. The main reactor has a nice beast waiting to make you her lunch soon enough; the queen and her spawn run rampant now and only a few of us remain to fight you. Now if you somehow manage to defeat her I'll make sure you don't leave here alive.

So good luck bounty hunter, may the parasite queen be kind.
