The After Story

alright so, I hope you people know what the Metroid Series is, well this takes place after Metroid Prime 3. Hope you like,

Prologue


The Gravemind had been defeated, the Human-Covenant had been won by the UNSC and the Arbiter returned home. A memorial lay on a high mountain top to respect those who had died in the long restless war against the Covenant and their goal to activate the halo rings. Though when every chapter ends, a new one begins. This is the Chapter of the lone forerunner, John-117. In the deep never ending space a lone ship flies towards a planet. The ship enters the Orbit leaving a flaming trail behind it as it makes its way to the surface of the planet. The ship lands with a great thud, and slowly a warrior in armor steps forth from it and makes it’s across a small bridge. A man runs up and salutes the warrior, “Samus Aran, Fleet Admiral Castor Dane is expecting you ASAP!” Samus sighed and continue to walk towards the building on the other side of the bridge, which was Galactic Federation HQ. Samus went up a gravity elevator with two other Fed troops to where The Admiral was. As the elevator came to a stop, Samus stepped forward and before she had even stepped into the room she was greeted by Fleet Admiral Castor Dane. Though most people call him Admiral. “Hello Samus how was your mission?” Samus pulled out a computer chip and tossed it to him, “All the data you need should be on that chip.” The Admiral caught it and looked at it with relief. He put it into his pocket where hopefully it would be safe from harms way. “This information should help, he haven’t ever fought an enemy like this before. We need all the research we can get our hands on.” The Admiral walked over to a battle field hologram desk and pressed a button on the outer edge of it. A numerous amount of planets showed up on it. The admiral touched a certain part of it and it zoomed in on a star system. The Admiral spoke once more. “The enemy is originating from the star system, we want you to go there and see what you can find. We are getting a signal of something and it’s important you check that out also.” Samus had already stepped into the elevator and had started heading down just as he finish. She approached her ship, she walked up the ramp and was about to close it when she saw two Fed troops running towards her ship. “Hey!” Samus sighed and thought, what could it be now? The two came to a stop and saluted her, “Admiral wants us to come along on your mission ma’am!” Samus put her hand on her face and gave a sigh once more and just pointed to the inside of the ship. The Fed troops hoped in and buckled into the available seats and Samus sat in the Drivers seat and flipped on the engines and they roared to life and blasted out of Orbit. Once out of the planets atmosphere pull, Samus engaged the Hyper drive and blasted towards the unknown star system. Samus turned to the fed troops, “So if were going on this mission I man as well know your names.” It seems that the Admiral had sent a PED Marine and a Demolition Marine with her. The Demolition Marine spoke up first, “I be Cameron.” He talked in a thick Irish accent. The other PED Marine spoke after Cameron was done; it was obvious she was a little shy. “Well My name is Bailey. It’s nice to meet the Bounty Hunter who took down the Space Pirates.” Samus repeated the names in her head, Bailey and Cameron, Bailey and Cameron, Bailey and Cameron. “Well Bailey and Cameron, I think we got us a big adventure ahead of us.”​

 

Chapter 1 First look



“Hmm… I can sense approaching…. She is looking for something… She is reminds me of him…She is a threat that must be deal with…” A giant figure said to the air that blew by him. The wind then carried it to those who listen to the command. The creatures gathered into the captured spaceships and launched into space. “Bring me her body to add to my collection of them…”

“Well her it is the star system. Well according to the map this is the place.” Samus said as the ship dropped out of hyperspace. “I, this be the place it seems.” Cameron said in his thick Irish accent. “Cameron is right; I’m picking a lot of weird readings from almost all planets in the systems.” Bailey said. Samus flew the ship through the system waiting for Bailey to give her any sign that they were close to a huge source. When Samus had been flying around for almost an hour she was ready to give up when Bailey almost jumped out of her seat. “I’ve got something!” Samus was glad, she didn’t care what is was. “Well what it be lass.” Cameron asked. Bailey didn’t respond, she just kept pushing buttons on the computer. When she was done she finally respond. “I have an S.O.S signal coming from an unidentified space craft. It’s defiantly not a Fed ship. It seems to be of human origin, though. The signal is faint and it seems like it might have been going off for a while now.” Samus engaged the ships engines and asked, “Tell me where it is.” Bailey pulled a chip out from the computer and plugged it into the main frame of the ship and brought up the map of the star system. She then pointed towards a very small dot on it. “There.” The engines blasted off leaving a trail of orange vapor. “So what would be if it’s a trap set by the varmints mate?” Bailey was focus on preparing her spacesuit. so it only left Samus to answer.. “Well we kill them of course. Underneath Cameron’s helmet grew a big grin, “Well I hope it’s the second one, I haven’t seen action for two moons.” Samus just wanted to slap Cameron across the face, his thick accent was getting on her nerves along with the weird way he talked. “Wow, would you look at that ship!” Bailey said as she pointed out the window. “It looks entirely cut in half, no wait it is!” Bailey exclaimed. Samus had to maneuver around a lot of space debris, mostly giant chunks of metal. Samus didn’t know how all of it got there, but she theorized that either a great battle took place or a station blew up. “Cameron take control of the ship.” Samus said getting out of the pilot seat, and Cameron rushed into the seat to keep it from flying off course. “Bring the ship right her and park it, me and Bailey will investigate.” You could tell Cameron was a little up set, because he wasn’t going on the search. You could tell by the way he responded. “I, whatever Commander.” The ship docked on the cut off side and Bailey and Samus hopped off. The two women turned on their flashlights and slowly climbed inside the ship. Samus looked at the symbols on the wall. She haven’t seen any like them before. They did look human in origin. They came to a split hall, “Bailey you go left and I’ll go right.” Bailey gave a nodded and took off to the left. Samus went right, and after a while she made it to a room that read on the door “Armory.” Samus blasted the door open, because the ship had no power left. She stuck her head in and looked left then right and walked in. She found many weapons floating in the air. One that caught her eye was a giant one that read. It was dark green. Something told Samus to grab it and she did. She hooked it to her back and look for other samples to take. She found a small old fashion gun that took clips still that had a scope on it and was silence. She took some clips and the gun, she then activated her radio. “Cameron I need you to pick some stuff up, it something that someone like you would like.” at first he didn’t answer, but then there was the sound of metal falling and Cameron cursing. “Dam it! Stupid retro crap! Um oh sorry! Yes Commander, I have the location marked on my map…” Samus heard the sound of some more metal falling and then an engine, she thought. Oh brother… Then there was a scream on the radio. “Ahhh!” Samus could tell it was Bailey and rushed off towards her location.


30 minutes earlier


Bailey was a little scared going by herself. Though she had gone by herself many times before on missions or was the only survivor of her squad. Even if she was a soldier and if it had anything to do with it she was a girl with a zero tolerance for scary things. Soldier or not she had the right to be scared. She entered a room with pods that looked like they were made for keeping things cold. She approached the first pod and kept saying, please be nothing inside! She wiped some of the ice on the screen away to find nothing on the inside. To her luck nothing was in it. She walked down the hall she was approaching the end, because she could she out into outer space from the ship being cut in half. She stopped at a pod that had a gun next to it. She looked at it wondering why this one had a gun next to it, while all the pods were empty. The gun was prehistoric, for it took clips and was not attached to anything like a fed gun. She thought to check in the pod just incase and as she reached to wipe the ice off something scared her half to death. A hologram came out of nowhere and shouted, “WHO GOES THERE!!!” Bailey was frighten and turned towards the hologram to she a small blue women, she fired her Phazon gun and fell backwards screaming, “Ahhh!” The shots went right through the hologram. Bailey slowly got up heart pounding and pointed her Phazon gun at the small hologram person. “w-who are you?” The Hologram person point at her, “I’m Cortana, property of the UNSC and who are you!” Bailey cleared her throat and said, “W-well I’m Bailey and I’m a PED troop of the Galactic Federation. It’s nice to m-meet you Cortana. Could you please tell me what your doing and who is the UNSC?” Cortana looked at her with a puzzled look, “The UNSC is: United Nations Space Command. Also it’s a log story on why I’m here.” Bailey put her weapon down and walked over to Cortana and bent down. “Well Cortana are you the one who sent out that S.O.S signal?” Cortana got a big smile on her face. “You bet yeah, been out her for 6 months.” Bailey’s mouth dropped, “6 months by yourself!” Cortana turned towards the pod Bailey was going to wipe the ice off. “Well I did have him, but the ship lost power and I couldn’t open the pod if I wanted too.” Bailey walked over to the pod and wiped away the ice and found a person in green armor. “Well I think I can help.” Bailey said to Cortana who got a big smile on her face.


10 minutes earlier


Cameron hoped out of the ship and landed in what seemed to be the hanger. “What the lady don’t know won’t hurt.” Cameron went through boxes and found nothing of interest to him. “What’s wrong with this ship, it has nothing cool to play with! Wait what is this?” Cameron bent down next to a huge pile of boxes and found the tip of a gun. Cameron pulled and pulled as hard as he could. He finally yanked it out and all the boxes fell everywhere. Some fell on him and others spilled stuff like oil and bolts; some even had pipes. “Damn! You pieces of shit!” Cameron said as he slip and fell on stuff. Once Cameron got out of the oil he looked like a giant black googy thing. He cursed some more, but he turned around to find something he found that no beauty could match. “By the gods, I be the luckiest man alive!” Cameron ran forward and found a two jeep looking vehicles and a ATV looking thing. “Day be a beautiful!” Cameron pushed buttons his wrist and the ship came roaring into the hanger. The ship hovered or the first vehicle, which had a mounted turret on it. It put it’s into hull along with the ATV. The second vehicle had to be stored underneath the ship on the outside. Once the ship was done it left the hanger. Cameron started heading for the ship that was outside, but fell in the oil again, Samus radioed and heard him yelling. She said something about weapons. “Dam it! Stupid retro crap! Um oh sorry! Yes Commander, I have the location marked on my map…” He got up and headed towards the location. Along the way he found a cart and brought it with him. It was sort of hard to move it in zero gravity, but he managed to do it. He came to the room that read Armory. He thought, oh boy! Cameron went in and grabbed anything that looked like a gun or grenade. He grabbed: Sniper rifles, machine guns, pistols, rocket launchers, and laser, and plenty of ammo. He then strapped the stuff down on the cart and headed back to the ship. He then loaded the cart aboard and sat in his seat. And stretched, “Well I did good today.”


Present time


Samus came rushing into Baileys last known position to duck and almost got his by Phazon fire. Bailey also ducked and Samus heard someone scream, “What you trying to kill him!” Samus looked at a small glowing person. “What the heck is going on here?” Bailey and Cortana looked over at Samus. Cortana spoke to Bailey, “who is she?” Bailey got up and dusked herself off. “Oh she is my Commander. She is Samus Aran, one of the greatest Bounty Hunters in the galaxy. Oh and Samus this is Cortana, a super smart computer type person, Or an AI as she says. Also there is a person in here and were trying to get him out, because there is no power to open the door.” Samus was about to say something when Cameron radioed in. “Commander we got Varmints inbound 10 minutes tops away. “What!” Bailey said, “But we still haven’t gotten him out!” Samus ran over to the pod and pulled as hard as she could, and slowly you could hear the ripping of metal. The pod then flew out of its spot, sparks coming from the ripped wire. “Alright lets go.” Samus said as she jumped out the end of the cut open ship. Bailey started to follow, “Hey what about me!” Cortana screamed. “That’s right!” Bailey said as she spun around and looked all around Cortana’s pedestal. “How do I get you?” Bailey exclaimed! Cortana pointed over the edge and said, “Pull out that chip.” Bailey did as so and Cortana disappeared. Bailey then jumped up and down trying to get out of the cut in half ship. She reached the cut edge and jumped into outer space. She landed on the ship. Just as she entered she looked up and saw spaceships. The were obviously infested with the varmints. Samus strapped into her seat after putting the pod in the hull with all the other stuff Cameron took and gave him a piece of her mind saying her ship wasn’t a shipping business. Samus engaged the engines, just as the ships started crashing into the cut in half ship. The ship blasted into hyperspace, back towards Galactic Federation HQ.​

 

well atleast I get some feed back, thanks.

 

Chapter 2 The job is Never Done



Admiral waited with a long line of fed troops in rows of 2, waiting for the arrival of Samus Aran with her new discovery. Ahs her ship landed the troops straighten, turned towards the ship and saluted. Samus, Cameron, and Bailey walked off and troopers ran aboard and started coming off board with all the acquired stuff Samus and Cameron had taken. One of the greater things they had found was a human, a human that was beyond the outer rim as told from the computer AI, Cortana. Two troops followed behind Samus, Cameron and Bailey with the pod, but one of them accidentally let go and smashed the others foot. The trooper yelled out and the two picked it up again, once the trooper’s foot was out he tackled the other trooper and they got into a big fist fight. Other trooper’s had to break it up and they continued to carry the pod. Samus approached the Admiral and both saluted to each other. “I trust your findings went well?” Samus pulled out a computer chip with a blue hollow center. The Admiral took the chip and placed a portable battle grounds grid. Cortana popped up on the grid, “I am sorry, miss this is the best I could do on the information I was given and short time. Your chip, is not something we would consider a normal chip.” Cortana looked around the grid and looked at the admiral, “Well it’s more roomer than what I’m use to. Thank you, My name is Cortana, property of the United Nations Space Command.” Cortana gave a salute to the Admiral, “Nice to meet you Cortana, I am Fleet Admiral Castor Dane of The Galactic Federation.” Cortana turned her attention along with the others to the pod, which arrived after the many dropping and fighting over the few feet that it was carried. The troopers set up facing the rows of troopers and the others. The troopers attached power cords to it. The stood at the ready to open it. The Admiral gave the signal to open the pod, the troopers started pushing random buttons on the pod trying to open it. The pod then gave a screeching sound and mist blew out from the pod everywhere. The door slowly open, all the troopers looked at the man inside the pod. At first he didn’t move, some chatter started to stir up, but then the man’s left hand gave a twitch and reached for the edge of the pod. The man stepped out of the pod looking at his surroundings, “Chief!” Cortana said. His attention moved to her location upon the grid. You would expect a man that’s been frozen for six months that just woke up in a new environment to say something rather then this, “So where’s the coffee? I‘m freezing and could use a good cup of the stuff.”

“So what your telling me is, that I’ve been floating around in space for six months and that an unknown alien species has moved into this galaxy that consumes anything that is flesh and turns it into one of them?” Master Chief sat in down in the chair and looked over at Cortana. Cortana go the message he was giving her. “Yes Mister Chief, the just about sums it up.” The Admiral said from across the table. “Well I certainly tell you this might be the greatest enemy you might ever fight.” Master Chief said to the Admiral. The Admiral raised an eyebrow, “Do you have some knowledge of these creatures?” Cortana brought multiple things on the table that was actually a battle grounds grid. Everything the UNSC had on the creatures floated around. Pictures, to weaknesses, types, how they work, everything. “These creatures are called the flood and work like a virus, they all are given commands from one location. It is the mastermind or the brain, he is known as the Gravemind.” Cortana brought up a picture of the horrifying looking creature. “So you do now of them, I would ask of you how you know of their origins, but this is not the time. The flood as I guess they are called are getting closer and closer to Galactic Federation HQ. So this Gravemind, if we take it down, Will that end this.?” Not even Cortana knew how to answer that question exactly, “Well it will cause much confusion within the flood, but they do have the ability to build another one. Though the Gravemind would sacrifice everything to probably protect itself.” The Admiral didn’t seem to thrilled about the answer he got. “Well it’s a shot that were going to have to take.” Samus said as she stood up. She wasn’t there when her adopted people needed her, the Chozo, but she wasn’t going to stand by while her entire race is destroyed by some alien race. “I’m with the lady, sir.” Master Chief said as he stood up also. “with your permission, seeing as you are a higher rank then me whether or not you be from another galaxy. I would like to track down the Gravemind and destroy it.” The Admiral continued looking through the information Cortana had put up. He finally stood up, “You are given the green light.” Master Chief gave a salute, grabbed Cortana and headed for the door, but was stopped when the Admiral placed a head on his shoulder. “You are given the green light, only if you take Samus with you.” Master Chief paused for a moment, “Who would that be sir? I Never was given a proper introduction.” Samus walked up to him and held out her hand to Master Chief, “ I am Samus, nice to meet you.” Master Chief saluted Samus instead of shaking hands. “Nice to be of service ma’am.” Great the military freak, Samus thought to herself. Master chief and Samus walked out of the room and Bailey and Cameron were waiting for them. “So what be our mission mate?” Cameron said being nosey. “Blow up the flood.” Cameron looked at him puzzled, “I, what be da flood?” Master chief remembered that they were only referred to the flood where he came from. “It’s those zombie things that infect all sentient life that you are fighting. They are called the flood. Now tell me what do you two soldiers do?” Cameron still looked a little puzzled, but manage to grasped enough to understand what Master Chief was saying. Bailey stepped forward from behind Cameron, “Well my name is Bailey, and I’m a PED trooper. A Soldier specialized to use certain material that enhances the weapon power of that of one weapons and deals a great damage if struck by.” Bailey saluted the man to show respect, you could tell by the many scratches, dents and blood stains that he was a veteran of many battles. “I be Cameron, A demolition experts. You need some fireworks, I be your guy.” Cameron grabbed Master chief’s hand and gave him a big hand shake. Master chief manage to get his hand out of Cameron’s hand. “Well I am Master Chief, I am a highly advance soldier train to kill. I have triple that of that of a regular mans agility, strength, and speed. It is nice to meet both of you.” Samus walked in-between the three. “Sorry to interrupt your little chit chat, but we really need to get moving.” Master chief turned to Samus and replied, “Right Ma’am. I need a weapon.” You couldn’t tell, but underneath Cameron’s helmet he got a big grin. “Well I think we might have something, that will suit your needs Mr. chief, follow me.” Cameron started off down one of the many corridors. Bailey followed and Master chief was about to when Samus put her hand on his shoulder. “I don’t know who you are, or where you can from, but I expect you to follow orders when I give them. I have greater experience then you will ever expect. Also I don’t really go for the who military talk, so call me by my name, which is Samus.” Samus then bumped his shoulder and followed after Bailey. “Well she seems nice.” Cortana remarked. “You better get to liking her, because I feel were in some deep whatever from her on out.”


****


Master chief soon ended up outside with the others. Water and what seemed to be like birds could be heard in the air. Green lushes trees could be seen everywhere, the air was fresh. They were approaching a building that seemed to be a hanger. Master chief saw a lot of things that he recognized, warthogs and UNSC weaponry. “Well, in the sort time our scientist, studied your weaponry we were able to make more clips for your guns and replaced that turret on whatever that thing is with a Phazon rearranger. Phazon is the material PED troops, like me. use to improve their weapons. So were able to add a device that when the turret fired pump a tiny bit of Phazon into each bullet giving it enhance power upon impact. Instead of doing that to your guns, because that would be more complicated, we just put them into the bullets.” Bailey said. Master chief had been looking at the guns that he had at his disposal and when Bailey finish replied, “That’s a mouth.” Cameron gave a big laugh and slapped Master chief on his back, “I, ain’t that be the truth Mr. Chief!” Samus had disappeared from the hanger, “Um, Was miss Samus?” Master Chief’s question was soon answered by the sound of roaring engines, as a ship slowly came down outside the hanger door. Out walked out Samus, “Well does that answer your question chief?” Cortana said. Samus walked up to Master chief, “Alright, since you will probably be more useful using technology your use to, and not our way of using weapons, take some of those weapons and clips. Only what is necessary. Come on Bailey I need some with loading supplies on the ship.” Bailey and Samus scurried off to somewhere leaving Master chief and Cameron all alone. “ I, think this here vehicle be necessary.” Cameron hopped into the Drivers seat and tried driving the Warthog. He ended up backing into the wall and smashed one of the backlights. “Um, I can fix dat.” Cameron then drove out of the hanger and screeching of tires could be heard. Master chief heard another crash, “I can fix dat too mate!” Cameron yelled to Master chief. “Well Chief, I say we take the sniper rifle, the assault rifle, and some frag grenades.” Cortana said. “I’ll take a little more than that, we are going up against the flood.” Master chief grabbed 20 frag grenades, and attached them all around his waist, through a Spartan laser over his shoulder, attached two Silent SMG’s. He had never worked with Silent SMG’s and hopped they would come in handy. He then got two carts and put as much ammo clips they could hold. He started out of the hanger, but remembered the sniper rifle and grabbed it real quick. “I think you pretty much took the who inventory!” Cortana exclaimed, Master chief paid no attention to what Cortana said and walked aboard the ship and placed the weapons and ammo he had carried on the racks next to the Warthog in the cargo bay. Cameron saw him come aboard and quickly asked, “He Mr. Chief! You could say were friends right? Well since all of those weapons are your property, and I be a man that don’t steal was wondering if I could use some of your weaponry?” Master chief didn’t really care, as long as they all lived he was good with what ever. “Sure good ahead do whatever.” Cameron then gave him another big slap on the back and almost sent him tumbling over. “That be great! Cause I already loaded the weapons on board when you weren’t looking!” Cameron put a hand around Master Chief shoulders, “I think were going to be mighty good friends mate, don’t ya?” Master chief looked towards him, “Whatever you say.” Cameron let go of him and walked around the Warthog as Master chief inspected his ammo clips. “So if we get to use this here bad boy of yours, do you think I can-” Before Cameron could even finish Master chief said, “No.” Cameron looked over at him, “what about-” Master chief stood up and waved his finger around. “As long as you don’t shoot me in the back of the head.” Cameron was happy and hopped on the turret just to get a quick feel, Master chef bent down to continue inspecting ammo clips with he saw bluish lines of laser beams and the bouncing of bullets going about the cargo bay. Master chief and Cameron ducked for cover and when the bullets stopped bouncing he got up and looked around and saw a few bullet holes in the ship. “I can fix dat.” was all Cameron said. “well he’s a keeper.” Cortana remarked.​

 

Chapter 3 Detour



“Everybody strapped in?” Samus said turning around to the others. Cameron and put a thumb up. The ship engines roared and came to life. The ship lifted into the air and started for the atmosphere. “Wow, haven’t been shot down yet. That’s a new record for us Chief.” Cortana said sarcastically. Samus had Master chief put Cortana into the ship earlier that day if needed Cortana could fly the ship. “Really? You must have been the first guy in always back where you came from.” Bailey said to Master chief. Master chief put his hand back to rest a little. “I guess you could say I was the only guy.” Bailey took off her helmet to get her had out of the stuffiness of her helmet, Cameron did so as too. “Wowsers! I think you better watch it commander, you got some competition.” Samus put the auto pilot on and turned towards the others and her armor disappeared. “That seems a lot easier then what I do. I don’t think he comes anywhere close to my skills.” Cameron and Bailey looked to Master chief to see if they were going to get into a debate. “Whatever you say Miss Samus, I’m not here to challenge you. I’m just here to stop what was leftover.” Master chief looked at Samus, and couldn’t notice how beautiful she was. Master chief usually didn’t think about women, but this one was different for some reason. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but she was definitely different from many he had meet, including his own fellow Spartans. Another reason he didn’t think about women, was Cortana would usually find out always being connected to his brain would be able to read his thoughts like a billboard. Samus turned back to the ship controls, a loud roar could be heard from the ships engines and the ship started to go into hyperspace, or slipspace for Master chief. The stars then became bright long lines and the planets near them disappeared and new and bigger ones appeared as the reentered normal space. “Cortana why did you bring us into normal space?” Samus asked Cortana and pushed a couple of buttons to try and reenter Hyperspace. “I got a S.O.S signal from the near by planet. I went over your star map and it showed this was a Galactic Federation controlled world.” Cameron was now on the computer and was looking for any signs of the flood as they were now called. “No signs of da flood mate.” Cameron said as he still continued to look over the information. Bailey leaned over to Master Chief. “You know you can take off your helmet. It is only us in here.” Master chief straighten out in the chair from relaxing and looked at the women. She had long brown hair, blue eyes and her faced seemed to be as smooth as a babies bottom. “I never take off my armor until the job is done.” Cameron then interpreted their conversation. “I’m picking up a S.O.S signal and I’m getting video feed… now!” On the ships windshield appeared the video feed of fed troops shooting and explosions. Yelling could be heard and something that looked like a dragon. “What was that?” Cortana asked as she rewinded the video and saw a giant metal looking dragon. “Ridley.” Samus said grinning her teeth together. Samus took control of the ship and headed towards the planet. It was a farming planet, Master chief could tell by the many flat grassland fields and by the crops. Samus flew over the vast field, they were now in the atmosphere and as they flew smoke could be seen ahead. On the ground underneath them, there were hovering vehicles transports. that were not Galactic Federation transports. They had been tall aliens on the side of them and were approaching towards the smoke. Samus zoomed ahead and could see Fed troops. The aliens were trying to flank them. Master chief had enough of waiting and walked to the Cargo bay. “What are you doing!?” Samus asked. Cortana replied in a kind of hysteric voice. “Oh you’ll see.” Cameron and Bailey got up and went after him. They arrived in the Cargo bay with Master chief strapping the Spartan laser to his back with a Silent SMG on one leg and on the other a pistol. Master chief hit the button to open the Cargo bay door. Samus turned on the Cargo Bay door and saw what Master chief was doing. Cameron had to yell over the wind to Master Chief. “What you be doing my friend!?” Bailey also awaited his question, but they never got it. Master chief leaped out and hurtled towards the ground. He was higher than he thought, and smashed into one of the transports smashing it into the ground launching some of the aliens off. They never saw it coming, Master chief was launched into the air when the transport crashed into the ground. He landed on the other transport. He laid there for a few moments. Two aliens walked up to the body and though nothing of it, one grabbed his feet while the other grabbed his arms they throw him off board and Master grabbed on of the aliens throwing him on board and throwing himself back on board. The alien fired his weapon, Master drove off the side, the alien looked over the side and didn’t seem him, but as he turned back a arm grabbed his head and threw him over. The alien quickly grabbed Master chief’s leg and now the alien was being dragged at a powerful speed. Master chief held onto the ship, the alien started to climb up Master chief, but was stopped when he looked up into the barrel of a gun and was shot dead. The body tumbled for a little before coming to a stop on the ground. Master chief got back on top of the Transport and position himself over what he thought was the Cockpit. He switched weapons to the Spartan laser and charged it. What he expected to be a simple laser ended being a nuclear explosion. A Huge blew beam shot out of the end and actually went through the transport and into the ground for who knows how far. The Ship crashed into the ground while Master chief was launched up into the air.

Samus watched as literally jumped out of the ship. “Is he trying to die!” Samus exclaimed. Bailey also watched as he jumped out along with Cameron. The two ran back to the bridge. “Told ya you would find.” Cortana said. Cameron said to Samus. “I think you do have some competition. Did you see what he just did? Jump out of a ship thousands of feet in the air!” Samus turned the video feed to the one pointed at the ground and watched in amazement as Master chief took on the aliens all by himself. Cameron gave a big whistle. “Wowser! Two whole Space pirate transports.” Samus ready didn’t pay attention to what Cameron said, she was focusing on catching the now airborne Master chief. She open the Cargo bay and let Master chief slowly fall in. Once he was in she quickly closed the door and pulled up on the controls to keep from crashing into the ground that was approaching very fast. The ship pulled up just in time, and only skimmed some of the grass. Master chief came back to the bridge and sat down in his chair. Cameron gave him a hit on the shoulder, “Great job mate!” Cortana was also a little impressed due to these new aliens being of different origin that what they usually were put up against. “I think that was down right stupid!” Samus remarked. “You don’t even know the aliens one bit and you charge in there! By jumping out of a ship thousands of feet in the air at that! Are you trying to show off?” Master chief leaned back a little in his chair. “Nope Miss Samus, just doing my job. Oh and next time tell me when you super charge my Spartan Laser.” Bailey was very relived that he hadn’t been killed and she knew that Samus was also. They then continued towards the battle that lay ahead.


1 hour earlier


“Private are you telling me that we have no contact with other Galactic Federation controlled worlds?” Commander Corey asked the young trooper. “That’s exactly what I’m saying sir. Someone is jamming. The only way to get any type of help is if a ship is so happening going through hyperspace by the planet and stops in time.” The commander made his way to the alarm button and pushed it. The siren throughout the whole building went off. “This is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill. All personal report to their station until further notice.” A women’s voice reported. “Alright lets move out. I feel something bad is about to happen and we can’t be dolly gagging. Private Joe and Omega squad you’re with me. Jacob you take Bravo team and follow close behind. Now lets move out, our orders will soon come.” The men grabbed their helmets, checked there ammo and ran out of the base. The whole town seemed to be in panic, it seemed the GF didn’t waste anytime in warning them. Turns out that was a lie, some explosions could be seen a little bit further into town. Energy ball shots then could be seen approaching the squads. One came and hit a soldier in the face killing him instantly. People’s screamed in horror as lizard creatures walked down the street. “Holy shit! We got Space pirates! Engage! I repeat engage!” Commander Corey shouted to the squads. The men ducked behind buildings and walls. Took their targets and fired. Dead bodies littered the streets: from Citizens, to Space pirates, and GF troopers. “Damn it! grenade!” Jacob said as he ran out into the street and chucked a grenade into a group of space pirates. It was a failed attempt, Jacob was knocked on the ground by a Jet Space Pirate that landed in front of him. The creature said something in its own language before stomping on Jacob’s head, and was soon blown up by his Grenade that he had drop. “Retreat! Fall back to the base!” Commander Corey shouted to troops. The soldiers didn’t waste anytime doing so. Joe ran next to Commander Corey, “I thought the Space Pirates were no more!” Joe turned around to shoot some shots at the Space Pirates who were following. “I guess, they’re trying to make a comeback. Now move it Private!” Joe and Commander Corey stopped at the entrance and waved for the troops to hurry in. Commander Corey waved for Joe to go in, he was shot in the back. “Joe!” Commander Corey kneeled next to him, two soldiers came back and dragged Joe into the base. He was still alive, but barely. The shot had hit him in the spinal cord. Commander Corey activated the door closing sequence. He took one look back and saw a trooper running for his life. Commander Corey stop the sequence. “Come on! You can make it! Commander Corey shouted to the soldier. The soldier dived for the door and made it. Commander Corey then notice the soldier was looking at him. He looked down and notice he had been hit in the chest and was bleeding. The Space Pirates were now almost outside the door. Commander Corey turned to the soldier, “Close the door, I’ll hold them off for as long as I can. I am promoting you to Commander.” Commander Corey ducked through the doorway that was half closed. He gave the soldier one last look and gave him a nod. “It has been an honor serving you sir.” The women said. She then activated the closing sequence and the door closed. Corey looked to the Space Pirates, they were now directly in front of him. “Hello there. Who needs a Commander Corey beat down? Because I am here to deliver!” Corey then heard a giant roar and a giant metal dragon landed in front of him. It put its nose up to him and smelled him. Corey didn’t back up, he just cocked his arm cannon.

The soldier was running down the hall, she could hear the shots even for how far away she was. She didn’t want to think about it. She was now the commander, Commander Aubrey. Commander Aubrey had caught up with the troops, the medics were focused on Joe. A soldier looked at her and then around her. “Where’s the commander?” She looked down at her feet, “Dead, and your looking the replacement. Now I want all barricades up, we must hold this position. We can’t let the space Pirates get pass us, if they do. They will get into the database, and learn all our secrets.” Some of the troopers looked down and others sat down, hearing their commander had died and they had been given a new one destroyed there hopes of surviving. Joe leaned up against the medics will. “You heard the lady, get your asses in gear!”​
