Fan Fiction ❯ Destined to be alone ❯ chapters 5-7 ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 4 Saving 0709

Fires burned, corpses lay on the ground, eyes still in fear, kihunters roamed, among the chaos and ruble there stood a figure.

It was there I ran into the kihunters, strange monsters that looked like pran mantises yet walked like humans.

I shoot at one from atop the ship.

It covered it's face with it's hand blocking the shots.

I jump into the air, sailing right above it, and gun aimed down, and right above it I fired rapidly.

It's blood flew everywhere, but the thing still was just injured, it had seen me. I was a few feet from landing on it, and it looked ready with those sickle like hands.

I continued to descend gun aimed down still firing.

It collapsed, and I landed on it's body, I stood triumphantly over it till it let out a last word, or more of a shriek, it attracted three more kin hunters.

They fired little bema at me, I dodged, them they continued to fire, I felt like cattle being herded, going left, then right to dodge a shot. I came to a wall, a dead end, no I jumped up towards to dodge one of there beams, and rejiched of it, charging my cannon. I landed on one of the key hunters. Instantly killing with a touch from the charge of ball of energy my cannon arm had. I fired my charged cannon at another kihunter. It attempted to block it with it's hands. The hands went flying off, as well as the things head.

The third key hunter turned it's back and ran away, I fired at it and it collapsed. It was still breathing, I put my cannon on his head, and spoke, my voice came out metallic, from the suite," Where's your leader?"

I was not surprised when it answered, after all Ridly could speak."Th There."

It pointed with it's sickle like arm to a wall.

I kicked the kihunter and it tumbled a few feet

"Scum like you makes me sick."

I could tell it was dead. I charged up me cannon and blasted at the wall

Ruble fell, and I saw a figure in the smoke. It was about my size, fat, with spikes in it's belly, and an oddly shaped head. It let out a roar. It began to shoot spikes from it's bellow as it emerged from the smoke. I hide behind a piece of building that had fallen, and sniped at it.

I heard a step, and I turned around and saw a kihunter. I kicked it and it flew into the air. I jumped up from safety of the ruble, and knocked it higher, into the air. The kihunter and I were high in the air; I got behind the kihunter and began to force it to the ground with one of my soldiers. I used it as a shield against the other monster as I fired away at it; I let myself fall to the ground and watched as the kihunter slammed into the other monster. The beast cut the kihunter into three pieces with a swipe of it's clawed hand, it then turned it's head to me, but It was too late, I had already charged and fired a shot at it, I saw surprise in it's three eyes. I fired at a lamppost; witch fell onto the monster along with my other shot. The best knocked down, by the lamppost, I fired at it some more. It exploded

I turned around and saw hundreds of key hunters. My face was filled with fear but it was noticeable through my visor. The kihunters, and I stood for a few seconds wondering who would make the first move. They did. They ran, I saw their ships retreat towards space. Apparently, they were scared that I could defeated their general.

The aftermath…

Alpha 0709 was saved; I received a large sum of money as a reward by the colony's governor. He asked me what my name was. I hesitated, it had been so long since I ever had to use it, and it had been so long since I heard someone other then a computer or beast, speak in my language. I had forgotten my name so, I decided to name myself after that which saved my life, my only friend," I am Samus Aran"

Chapter 5

The Beast

I supported myself by chasing down bounty, I usual just took which ever paid more, but if it had something to do with the space pirates then money was not a consideration, having my revenge was worth more then anything. There were few leads to go on to find the space pirates so I rarely fought them.

I became legendary, I was regarded as the most feared being in the known universe, but no one knew who was under the suite, when I was old enough to be considered an adult I had grown the suite use to the isolation, and decided to stay that way. I was shy; I almost never went out without my suite on. All the isolation, the mask, the constantly leaving society to fight aliens. I grew used to it. The suite gave me a sense that I didn't need others, I was beyond the emotion of fear, and I was fear. Yes, I was use to the loneliness. But that didn't mean I enjoyed it, I was used to it, and that was not enjoyable.

Night after night I slept in my ship, the only place I took my suite off, I usually took a long shower to relax, and get the blood and sweat off me. Then I went over to my friend, I grabbed one of the arms and put it around me, I sat in its lap. With my back towards it, I turn my head, and looked up at the visor, cold emotionless, and dark, my body shivered in it's cold metal, but I wrapped it's arms around me titer as if it wear a blanket, I felt depressed, that my only friend, didn't even exist. Why was I destined to be like this, why did the chozo, and my home planet, sigh, what is the point of me living. The suite, stood cold and tall, not answering. I put my head down and cried. The only motivation I had was a slim hope, that some day, I would have my revenge, but I rarely fought the pirates, and even if I killed them, what would I do then?

Mean while light years away a cries were heard, cries, by huge beats, inside glass containers. They slammed against it trying to break, it but it was no use. These things had never been seen before, they came from a newly discovered planet, SR388, these creatures were like green jellyfish, with claw like tentacles, and their cells, enlarged and showing, they feed of energy, the life, of another being, the could, would drain the life out of it's victim to satisfy their hungry while gaining all special powers and traits of their victim, fortunately there were not that strong, they had only feasted on species from SR388, but were still incredibly powerful, the exploration team, left as soon as the monsters were captured. Because they had jumped at them from the moment they got pout of their ship, and ate one of the crew, after their capture the planet was left.

The creatures were on a heavily guarded ship, and were being taken to study. Suddenly with out warning, a barrage of missiles was fired at the ship, the one firing was another ship, of the space pirates. The missiles, hit some of the main power cores, and knocked out both the ship's engines, and the extra force fields, preventing the ship's cargo from escaping. Inside the ship, beats sucked the life out of their captors, scream and panic was everywhere, but it was soon, gone. No one was left to scream, it was a clean kill, no blood, no bodies, just piles, of sand were all that remained of the lifeless scientists.

Outside the ship, missiles fired at ever power core until, all the ship was as lifeless as it's Inhabitants, the space pirates bordered the ship, and unaware of the danger. They were surprised to find no trace of any living thing, only piles of dust. A space pirate opened a door….

Fast as lighting a group of the monsters, ran through, their screeching cry stunned the pirates for a second, and that second costed them dearly, soon, they too shared the fate of the scientists. Space pirates on their ship, heard what happened through a communicator one of the other pirates had dropped,"Ahhh!! Me..ttrrr….", and then an unearthly sound that could never be mistaken

The pirates considered, their next move, they decided since the beasts were so fast it would be best to freeze them. The pirates attached an ice beam accessory to their weapons, and headed for the ghost ship.

The floor in the first room, was like a beach, filled with sand, there wear helmets in few places, but no sign of the bests, they were planning a surprise attack, The pirates moved forward, then without warning the beasts, attacked, they pirates fired there guns, the beats nimbly dodged them, the sound of more shots were drowned in a fellow pirates flew for help, the pirates stared as their comrade became a pile of sand, the then turned there attestation to the beasts hovering right above their head, another creatures was on them, holding them, still, they battle, the pirates used that brief opportunity to freeze the beasts

The pirats look to see who had brought to little creatures for help. It was Toronzo, a chozo, he was different from other chozo and that's why he was with the pirates, he was a high-ranking pirate. He spoke," If the mother brain saw what a bunch of weaklings you were then, she'd self-destruct, If it weren't for me sending in our little friends, we would have lost more men, which wouldn't be much of a lose anyway, nah, they wouldn't eat you, your powerless sissies with nothing for them to gain, just like the rest of my foolish race." The pirates looked at the frozen beasts, they had fired just in time, and the aliens that helped them too were piles of sand." Well come on put them in the containers before they unfreeze!" The pirates obeyed, and the beasts were transported to the pirate's head quarters.

"The head quarters, we finally found there head quarters, but it's too well guarded for a direct assault we need to sneak in one man that can destroy it from the inside."

"But if that one man should be found and killed, they'd increase security and we couldn't try it again."

"This first man must get the job, done, there is no second chance, and we don't have any one in all the armies that can do that."

"How about that one bounty hunter Samus, I heard (the man paused for a second thinking about what the next word should be I his sentence, it or he, he decided, that he sounded better), he can do anything?"

"He never has failed a mission before, but this is something big, no bounty hunter not even Samus has fought the space pirates more then, well once, is a miracle, can even Samus be up to this."

"Money talks."

With that the conference was over.

Chapter 5

A chance

I was unaware of all, this I still crying myself to sleep. I woke up, and checked my email; I had paid an agent to inform me all, bounties. I found one message not from him but from, an address titled,"Galactic Federation". It read as followed,"

We have a mission for you; there is a reward of 50 billion dollars for completing it. Come see us.

I couldn't believe my eyes, that are enough money for 10 life times, but money wasn't really a concern, I had plenty. I went over to my friend, and spoke," Well this looks like it could be something big.

Later….

I landed on M510; I was escorted through corridors, by two guards that stood to my sides. They must have felt like I was escorting them. I looked down on them. They didn't look at me, but I could tell it was because they were scared. I have long been feared. It's strange some have rumored that I am some killer psycho, I an only image what would happen if anyone found out what I truly looked, like, blond and beautiful, nothing like the tall suite I wore, but I don't want my identity to be revealed, I fear it, this suite is my power and has long been my life. I've grown so use to the isolation, that I crave it, even though I later wish I didn't crave it, this suite has kept me alive, but prevented me from living like any other.

The two men stopped in front of an elevator. I went in alone. It went up several floors. It opened and around me were many tables, and people sitting in them like a jury, this was the Galactic Federation Council. The highest form of government. There was silence then one stood up and walked towards and spoke

"Samus Aran, I see you got our message, we have a request that is of utmost importance to our own survival. He pushed a button on a remote in his hand, and everything turned black, except for the light from my visor, then a [projection went up on the wall, of a huge brain in a jar," This is mother brain, the mother brain of all the space pirates plans and computers, she was created by scrapping together, the greatest dead minds of the known universe, and taking the out all emotions and opinions, and replaced it with one single mission, to lead the space pirates to complete control of all things. She was made not too long ago, and now under her brilliant guidance, she has lead the space pirates to stealing many things, and other crimes. But the most dangerous thing stolen was the Metroids, they, are aliens from another world, that have the ability to suck energy out of one living thing and feed upon it, little is known about them. The ship carrying them and some scientists was raided. But we do know that if the Metroids can be trained to obey orders, then the galactic federation will crumble."

The lights turned back on. "We have located the head quarters of the space pirates, we can't go for a direct assault your, mission is to go in destroy the mother brain, thus making the space pirates have no leader and be demolished, and you also should destroy the Metroids…by doing so we shall pay you 50 billion dollars, do you accept this mission?"

Chapter 6

Entering the head quarters

I held my breath, I couldn't believe all my life I have been waiting for this a change to finally have my revenge on the space, pirates and now my mission was to kill their leader and wipe them out in the process. I cried, but this time for the first time in my life they were tears, of happiness. It was too good, to be true. The galaxy was in danger, I proudly cold have haggled as much money, as I wanted, but I didn't need, to I had enough, already not counting the huge payment I would get. Completing this mission would be all, the payment I'd ever need.

Inside my suite, was a crying and joyful, woman, outside there still stood a tall, dark and cold warrior, who said in a robotic voice," I accept."

I was given a map on were the pirate's head quarters were located, and reminded again not to tell, anyone about this. It would be an embarrassment if, the galactic federation could not defeat a simple band of outlaws, plus it would ruin the surprise advantage I would have.

I went aboard my ship," Computer head for (I looked at the map). Planet Zebes."

"Destination confirmed and plotted."

This was it I still couldn't believe this was happing. I had been waiting for it all, my life. I stored the necessary food, in a compartment in the suite. I looked at myself in the mirror.

I have always been scared to go in public without my suite on, I had grown so used to it, but now I can finally have my revenge on the space pirates once and for all, then I won't need this suite. I can finally discover what the life of a normal being I like. I won't be attached to it any more. I stared at my suite," I'll all was love, you. I can never repay you for what you've done, thank you. I can't just throw it away, this is a person deep within. I went over to it and embraced it. I put its arms around me, and stared into its visor, it didn't look as cold as usual; I could see myself in it. I rubbed my near naked body against it. I would soon be saying bye to it, so this is love. Something I knew little of, I knew hate, but this is so different. It cradled me, What was your purpose, why were you made, was it destiny, yes it has to be, destiny has played a large role in my life, my family and planet was destroyed, the ones that took me in, the chozo were destroyed, now surrounded by people, I too scared too truly reveal my identity and socialize with them. It seems that I have been destined to live like this, destined for isolation, destined to be alone," Ohh, Samus." this is our last time to be together. I kissed it on the visor, it seemed this was more of a person then a suite.

We were approaching Zebes. It is an old abounded planet. I put my suite on, it felt different then before, I was becoming one with my friend, one with the only one that cared about me, one with the only one that understands or knows about me, one with the one I love. We are one. I am Samus Aran. Then I realized there was a problem, there must be some sort of security measure that would tell them if my ship entered the atmosphere.

"Zebes is in site," said the computer.

"Hold position."

The ship stopped away from Zebes. There I could see the planet calling, me it was the only inhabited planet for light years upon light years. I thought about how to pass this security measure, and then it hit me.

Deep within Zebes…

Toronzo, I think you better take a look at this monitor, there's a large object entering the atmosphere, it could be a ship. Should I activate the missile silo? The pirate's hands were right on the fire button eager for some violence.

Toronzo spoke" Fire"

"Fire? What type of fool are you, it's meteoroid you numschool, if we had someone as brain dead as you at the master controls, mother brain would run out of oxygen and we'd fire, at every 1 inch meteroid, within 50 light years of Zebes."

"Sorry, sir"

"Me, too."

"Huh?"

"You!"

"Me", said a passing pirate."

"Yes you wasn't talking to my invisible friend. Knock this pirate here unconscious!"

"But, I won't make another mistake like that again, Toronzo please!"

Inside the chamber holding the Metroids….

A knocked out pirate was teleported onto the room, the Metroids fought for, his body, and it was soon, drained lifeless, and turned to sand.

Two figures watched from outside, a see through titanium wall separating the Metroids from them.

"That's what happens when you act on ways I don't like, the Metroids need food, and it seems that we have one Metroid too many too feed because of our rations of pirates. Send a message saying anyone lacking quality will be feed to the Metroids to help make them grow, also, tell the people in sector R28 to increase speed on finding ways too clone these Metroids it seems that these Metroids can't reproduce by themselves."

"Are you sure it's wise to sacrifice your own men?"

"The Mother brain oppointed me second in command only to her, do you dought her choosing"

"No sir!"

"Then do as you were told!"

"Yes sir." The space pirate typed some stuff on a computer and the messages were sent.

"You shouldn't tell them but since the Metroids drain energy some of our most elite pirates may also be food, depending on how well they do their duties."

"I won't tell."

"Your not slacking, but you now know this bit of information, and I can't allow that."

Toronzo punched a button and the pirate was teleported to the Metroids who gladly consumed him. Toronzo smiled

Mean while…

My plan worked. My small space pod was mistaken for a meteoroid. I landed safely on planet Zebes. I walked through the planet until I came down to an elevator. I went down

Chapter 7

Trapped in the head quarters

Author's note; Due too some area's being identical, and keeping this at a reasonable length some areas in Metroid 1 will be changed, cut out, or items being placed in different areas. I have played through the game, but two major things will be different 1 the location of the ice beam (I can't remember), 2 the battle with mother brain, I got there with 30 energy and 2 missiles, and I didn't want too kill enemies for a week to recharge, so it may be a bit different, but I presume it's not too different from Super Metroid, oh and I am well aware that the charge beam was only in the 3 game and you have to collect the long beam, well, it's may fan fiction so there=)

The elevator moved with a humming sound, there was barely enough room too stand, it looked old, covered in dust, which were only penetrated by my footprints. Lights blinked but it could hardly be seen through the dust, at any moment I was expecting the whole thing too shut down. It didn't make since, how a huge army like the space pirates only way of going to the planet's surface was in one single elevator, one that was untouched for seemingly an eternity, one that was in such plan view, one that could be a trap.

It stopped, were they hoping to just trap me here? My question was answered, the doors opened, I could not see where I was, and the dust was rising up blinding me. I was expecting a small band of pirates to start attacking. But all was silent. I walked out. My plan apparently worked, I got here undetected, and the only other living things were large bugs crawling around. I heard a sound, a beep, declining in pitch, it wasn't the insects, and it was the elevator. After who knows how long it stopped working, I was trapped. Trapped on a planet were killers were, Trapped on a planet were killers were that I would destroy. Trapped on the home of makers. They killed my family, they killed the Chozo, and from that death came I birth. Me. Now the source of my hatred, the source of my isolation, the source of my pain and sorrow, I was trapped with it. Behind a tall dark, cold, and fearless warrior, behind, a name the creates, fear, behind, the mask, of Samus, lay a smile, lay a tear, lay eyes, that saw a dream come true, behind that mask, was me.

To be continued………
