I'll try to get the chapters up as I finish them.

Chapter 1-Raid


The eerie silence of space could be felt throughout the colony 79-48b. The darkness of evil, which was going all over the many galaxies, had finally reached the colony. Rumors of the space pirate raid on the neighboring planet Solkristic had spread through the colony like wildfire. It was only a matter of days before every person stationed on the colony knew about what had happened on the planet Solkristic. Although many stories had been changed as people throughout the colony passed them around, they all had the one thing in common; space pirates.
It was in the early hours of the morning when bounty hunter Samus Aran was woken by the beeping computer from her starship. The sound took some time to sink in before Samus realized that the sound was not coming from a dream and might be of importance. After only having a short three hours of sleep, Samus forced herself out of bed, knowing she would have been better off if she had of just let it go on beeping. But because of what had happened to her family and friends when the space pirates had so brutally murdered them she had vowed to help anyone who needed it. As she walked down the tiny hall to the main deck of the ship the irrating beeping grew louder. When she arrived at the main deck door she entered the code 007-25 into the keypad. The door slid open revealing a room full of computers, screens and other electronic things. Samus walked over to one of the computers, pulled up a chair, and opened the file. The screen flickered in and out a few times before it heated up enough to stay on. Pressing a button, the screen turned to static, flickered in and out of static and stopped to reveal the silhouette of an older man.
"Space colony 79-48b to bounty hun... Samus Ara..."
The audio on the file was not very good, there were sounds in the background making it even harder to hear what the man was saying along with the growing static.
"Rumors of space pir... activity on planet Solkri..."
There was a sound like a struggle going on in the background. The man turned to look behind him, a spot of blood splattered on the screen and a few seconds later the screen went black.
There was some kind of commotion going on a few levels above the small federation-training center on the colony. A federation member walked across the circular room to the door that lead to one of the main hallways on the colony. For a few seconds everything seemed to be as it had always been, but there was a blast further down the hall. Everything that wasn't secured to something was being dragged down the hall by an invisible force.
"This is not a drill, this is not a drill. Report to the nearest evacuation center immediately!" Rang out the intercom, which was being broadcasted to the whole colony.
Another explosion could be heard on another level, and another, and another. Everything went quiet no explosions, no screaming nothing. The federation member who was looking out into the hall, turned around to talk with the other members there with him and saw to his horror they were all dead. The silence was broken by only the sound of the federation member’s scream. The scream didn't last long. After the scream there was a loud thud on the floor, that scream would be the last noise to ever be made on colony 79-48b. Left to drift forever through space.
"Computer, scan for the space colony 79-48b!" Samus said to the main computer.
Walking fast Samus opened the door leading out to the hall and walked the end where there was only one door remaining. Punching in the code the door slid open. The room Samus had entered was a rather small room, but it served it purpose well, containing the power suit Samus uses on her missions. She put the suit on faster than she had ever done before and marched out of the room into the main deck once more. Making it just in time to get the location of the colony.
"Computer set a course for colony 79-48b, I've found myself a new mission."
From the outside of the starship the engines hummed as they heated up, and within a few seconds the starship was gone. Heading straight for space colony 79-48b... or what was left of it.

Chapter 2-79-48b


The Stars zoomed as blurs as Samus’s starship hurtled onward through space towards it destination; colony 79-48b. The endlessness and no landmarks of space made it seem like you were barely moving at all. If you were lucky it was possible to see a planet every now and then. Samus sat waiting at the ready, waiting, waiting for any signs of the space colony 79-48b. The ship had been cruising for around 20 some minutes, but to Samus it felt like hours. Having just witnessed the death of someone, she could only imagine what she was going to find when she finally arrived at the colony.
“Computer, how much longer until destination is reached?” Samus asked the main computer of her ship trying to keep her voice sounding calm.
The computer whirred and beeped a few times.
“Destination approaching, we will be making contact with 79-48b in roughly 10 minutes.” Replied the computer.
Turning to her computer she started typing something. The sound of the keys was all that could be heard for a few minutes while Samus searched for something. Closing what she had been doing her computers voice rang out.
“Approaching 79-48b in two minutes.”
Getting out of her seat she went to prepare for docking.
The colony loomed ever closer, like a ghost as it glided through the emptiness of space. Samus took a seat at the main controls to dock the ship manually. Inching the ship ever closer to the colony, the ship bumped up against the colony and Samus pressurized the crawl through tunnel that connected to the side of the colony. Turning the latch Samus opened the door and started to go through the small tunnel. Halfway through the tunnel there was a loud bang on the side of it, but Samus didn’t have time to wait and see what had made the noise she had a mission, and it needed to be completed. Getting to the colony side of the tunnel, she turned the wheel and opened the door to the colony. She landed and the metal floor with a click from her gravity suit. Looking up and down the walls of the colony, she found what she had been looking for. There was a sign that showed arrows and important places on the colony. The third one down, the main deck was where she wanted to go. Following the arrow that pointed left she started at a run down the hall. Stopping she said to herself.
“Its still going to be there when I get there, running isn’t going to help me much.”
Turning the corner of the hall she came face to face with a floating body, which was floating, weightless in the gravity-less space air. This did not surprise Samus though, she had prepared for the worst, but a part of her hoped that there would be even one person who would have survived. She pushed the body out of the way and walked onwards down the hall her feet clicking as she went. There was another sign on the wall that showed the main deck was getting closer following the arrow that now pointed right, she moved on. She really had no ides why she was going to the main deck, but there was possibly something she could use to figure out what had happened on the colony; maybe there were some security tapes or a recording from the main deck.
Walking up to the next corner she stopped, listening for a sound. There were sounds coming from down the hall she was just about to go down. A can rolled down to Samus, she watched it roll by and lifted her head to look around the corner, but someone was staring right at her. Only a few inches away from her, their breath was fogging up her visor. Whoever they were they didn’t seem to be scared of her, they just stood there staring at her.
“Who are you?” Samus asked them.
The person who Samus recognized as a male stayed where they were and looked as if they had no ides what Samus was talking about, and if they did they didn’t care.
“Hello, who are you?” Samus asked again.
Still nothing, Samus made to walk around him when he opened his mouth to talk back, but stopped and closed his mouth again.
“Don’t worry I’m not going to hurt you.” She said to him.
The man who stood before her looked around 20 years old.
His expression changed after what she had said, he went from looking somewhat scared to like they were best friends in 2 seconds. Samus had just realized that how much time she was wasting standing here trying to make conversation with someone who wouldn’t even talk back to her.
She started walking down the hall towards the main deck, but stopped as the man spoke to her.
“What are you doing here?” He asked her.
She turned around to look at him.
“I am here because of the attack that happened here, I came to investigate and hopefully find who did what happened here.”
“P-please… m-ma-may I come with you?” The man asked her.
Samus didn’t say anything as she thought about bringing the mane along with her on the mission.
“I’m sorry but I can’t, its too dangerous and you’ve probably never been in any type of combat before have you?”
“But! Please you must let me go, I want to avenge my family and friends who were killed.” He said desperately.
Samus thought about it once again.
“I can’t make you stay here, you can come if you wish but you must do as I say and not get in the way, understand.”
“Yes of course, I’ll do whatever it takes.” He replied.
“Then come on, were going to the main deck.” Samus said to him. Samus started walking down the hall again, the young man following closely behind her.
“What is your name?” Samus asked while she kept walking.
“My name is Shap, and you are?”
“I’m Samus Aran a bounty hunter.”
The two got talking and didn’t realize how fast time was going by, Shap stopped and Samus kept walking on. She didn’t stop until he called to her because they were at the main deck. Samus quickly walked back over to him, aimed her power beam and fired at the door. It opened and the two of them walked inside. The room was dark and had a glow of green because of all the computers and things that filled the room. There were some stairs that led down a little ways to a chair that must have been where the captain sat while the colony was changing its location. Samus went over to one of the computers and attempted to find some videos about what went on. It wasn’t long before she found what she had been looking for; opening the video file she sat and watched. The screen was blurry and unfocused, but after a few seconds it came back into focus again. There were a few men standing around some sort of 3D map. An important looking man was standing beside it too; he was talking to one of the men.
“Sound the alarm we need to get everyone off the colony before they can kill us all.” He said to the one beside him.
The door that Samus had entered herself was blown open and a pair of space pirates walked in. The men all turned to face the pirates and readied their weapons. Raising their guns the pirates fired one shot for each person, killing them instantly.
“We will be rewarded well when we return to Solkristic for this, killing the captain will make him happy.” One of the pirates said.
“Yesss, now letsss get out of here and return to the othersss.” The second said back to the first.
The two of them walked out and back down the hall, the doors shut behind them and their footsteps couldn’t be heard anymore. The video shut off and Samus got up and looked at Shap.
“We need to go to the planet Solkristic right away, that’s where the space pirates who killed everyone are.”
The two of the jogged back to Samus’s starship and undocked from the colony. The computer had already found the location and was preparing to go. The engines heated up and they were off, to the planet where the space pirates where building a new base. The hunter was coming for them.

Chapter 3-Break Before the Fight


The starship that was registered to the bounty hunter Samus Aran zoomed across space to its next destination, the planet Solkristic. Samus Aran and her companion Shap had just recently left the space colony 79-48b and were on course for the planet because there were clues that the space pirates had raided the colony that Shap called home. Samus was sitting at the main computer searching again for something, she was keeping it rather secret from Shap and he didn’t know why she would want to keep something important away from him, if it even was important. For a few minutes they just sat not making any sounds except for the click of the keys on the keyboard as Samus went on with her search.
“Bounty Hunter…” Said the main computer of the starship.
Samus stopped typing and looked up, startled by the voice. She did not realize who had made it at first having been concentrating so hard on what she had been doing.
“Yes?” She asked.
“We need to make a mandatory stop for refueling and other supplies.” The computer said to her.
“Ok, we will stop. Where is the nearest place to dock?” Samus asked.
The computer opened a map and searched for the nearest place where they could stop for supplies. The amp moved around and a small dot glowed yellow against the blue background of the map.
“Here is the nearest place where we can stop.” Said the computer.
“Fine, set a course for there. We will start the mission to Solkristic after we refuel.”
The ship’s computer took over the controls and turned to the right, in the direction of where they were going to stop for refueling.
An hour later they arrived at the colony 79-42a, this colony looked rather newer than 79-48b and had the look of something that was just cleaned. Its brightness emitted a strange glow around it. The ship turned and headed for the hanger where they would store the ship while at the colony.
“Please secure yourself to something while we land.” Said the computer.
Samus and Shap both took a set and buckled up in the front of the ship so they could see what was going on. Flying very well the computer landed them very smoothly and opened the side door and a ramp folded out and made a click when it hit the metal surface of the colony’s hanger. Samus’s silhouette appeared in the doorway the further she got down the ramp the more you could make out of her. She walked past the many ships that were in the hanger and over to a door on the right side of the hanger. There was a large desk with a man sitting behind it.
“Excuse me.” The man said.
Samus who had never heard the man very well kept walking over to the door.
“Excuse me!” He said loud enough so that she would hear him for sure.
Samus stopped and looked over at the man.
“Yes, what is it?” She asked.
The man made a small grunt and pointed over to a sign on the desk that Samus hadn’t noticed before. The sign said in bold red letters; All people who are not members of the colony 79-42a must give a pay of 10 space credits for each hour when they have a space craft staying in the colony’s hanger.
“Well I’m sorry but I will not be here for one hour, so I need not pay you.” She told him in soft voice.
The man made another grunt and pointed to another sign on the other side of the desk that had the same letters and read; If the person is not going to be on the colony for one hour they must still pay the 10 space credits.
When the man figured that Samus was done reading the sign he started talking.
“Well… then pay up.” He said to her for to him must have been the millionth time he’s ever said it.
“Umm… well.” Samus said.
“Well what!” He said in a rather loud voice and hade some others who were in the hanger turn to see what was going on.
“Well you see… I don’t really have the time to go and get the money to pay you.” Samus said to him.
“Hmm, I see. Well then you just won’t leave your ship here then.”
Samus turned started walking back in the direction of her ship, but when she thought the man wasn’t looking at her anymore she hid behind another ship and changed to her morph ball and rolled over to the door and waited for someone to go through it so she could follow them in. She was in luck because only a short few minutes later someone did open the door letting Samus enter the colony without anyone knowing she was even there. Samus rolled over into a dark corner where she thought that nobody would be able to see her morph back. She took a few steps down the hall when she realized that Shap was still in the hanger, and did not have the ability to change into the morph ball and come through the door undetected. She turned on the microphone that connected with her ship and attempted to contact Shap.
“Hello, Shap are you there?” She asked.
Nothing, nothing could be heard but the soft static that the microphone made. She tried again.
“Shap are you there? Come in, Shap are you there?” She asked again.
“H-hello?” Shap said. Hew sounded like he had just been running.
“Shap, I made in into the colony. You will not be able to come along so you will need to stay with the ship.” Samus told him. “I will not be long.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting.” He said.
Samus turned off the microphone and continued down the hall towards the shops that would hopefully hold the necessary things that she was after. She walked down the dark hall and out into the light of the colony’s main entrance area, the lights gleaming off of her gravity suit, which had not taken off since, she had left the colony 79-48b. Meanwhile, back at Samus’s star ship. Shap had better things to do with his time than baby sit someones ship.

Samus walked out into the light of the colony's main lobby were there were many people out walking around, and standing next to large counters where there were people selling goods. Samus walked out into the center of the round room, the light that was placed on the ceiling in the center of the room shone down onto Samus's suit reflecting light all over the large room. There were people that looked at her strangely as she walked by due to the fact that she was wearing her gravity suit. She couldn't tell what any of the signs that hung over the counters because they were in some other language that she had never seen before, but lucky Samus had the scan visor. She scanned all of the signs before making her move. She walked up to a counter where there was a man, well what looked like a man, but he had a green tint to his skin and her ears were slightly longer than a normal persons would be.
"Excuse me." Samus asked.
The man thing, who Samus had reconized as Bob because of his nametag stationed on his shirt, acted as though there was no one there.
"Excuse me, I need to but something." Samus said.
Still the man ignored her.
Slamming her fist onto the counter, she asked.
"I need to buy something from here."
Finally the man noticed that she was there.
"Yesss, what would you like?" he asked sounding somewhat like a snake-person.
Something clicked in Samus's mind; she had heard a voice that sounded like that once before.
"I need to buy some fuel for my starship." She said.
"And... Where might it be?" He said.
"Well, where do you think? In my pocket!?" Samus said.
"No, no, I guesss not." He said.
"How much are you needing?" He asked Samus.
"Well I need abou..."
But she stopped half way through what she was going to say because there was an explosion that came from the room that she had entered the lobby from, the hanger.
"Oh no" Samus said. The man slipped off his chair and waddled off with a crowd of people who were screaming and heading for a door on the other side of the room. Samus ran towards the door that lead to the hanger, but there were colony guards that came running over and stopped her.
"My ship is in there!" Samus yelled.
"I'm sorry, but we can't let you in, you'll have to wait until we investigate what had happened." One of the guards said.
"Fine!" She said.
But Samus had no intention of waiting; she turned into the morph ball and rolled in after them. When she knew for sure there was no one looking at her she turned back to normal. There wasn't much left of the hanger after the explosion had gone off. But to Samus's surprise her ship was there, but Shap wasn't. Had he survived the blast or did he not make it? She climbed into the ship thinking this. Turning on the computer it said.
"Samus, Shap was the one who set off the blast. He wanted to stop you from getting to the planet because hes with the pirates, they said he he does what they say they'll ket him go.
"Darn!, it was a set-up!" She said.
"There was never any shortage on fuel either." The computer said. "It was him, he made it look like there wasn't enough."
"Well, common, lets get outta here. We have to get there and fast!" Samus said.
The door of the ship closed and the engines kicked in, the ship lifted off of the metal hanger floor and flew out through the door that was almost gone, smashing what was left off of the hinges. The ship flew off to the planet Solkristic where Samus would find Shap and the space pirates waiting for her, but she was ready and angier than before with the pirates.

Chapter 4-The Orange Sphere


Space, space had been something that Samus didn’t want to be in for too much longer. All these missions where starting to get to her, she needed to find those space pirates… and fast. It had been so many years since she first started going after them, and still she had not finished them off, still they lived on doing their evil operations no innocent creatures. Solkristic, the planet Samus had been informed that the space pirates had been setting up base there was on her way and was not too happy with what she had just witnessed. Someone who she thought her friend was the complete opposite, for he was an enemy whom was told by the space pirates to aid them in destroying the hunter who they despised so. That was the least of her worries though, she knew that there would be much greater things that she would need to worry about when she finally landed and the planet, she had no idea what the pirates had already experimented on and how far they may be on with something new.
Spaces endlessness feeling was starting to get to Samus, her head was spinning out of control and she felt like the ship was on a storm battered sea. The green and yellow lights that shone from the many electrical instruments in her ship blurred every time she moved. The lights on top of how she was feeling didn’t help all that much. Sitting down, she tried a shot at looking at the map of the galaxy she was in, but there was no use. Finally she gave up and went to stretch out on her make shift bed that she used while on a mission. Time felt like nothing to her, it zoomed by so fast that it was as if it never happened at all. The hours ticked by and she slept tossing and turning in her bed. The dreams where like reality, something she had once lived through but couldn’t remember while she was awake. Seeing the planet she called home when she was just a young girl be destroyed before her. She had not really seen this happen but she had imagined it, every time it was different. Some people where standing over her.
“Now Samus, don’t worry everything is going to be alright.” One of them said it was a man. She couldn’t see his face because of the shadows they were standing in.
“Please don’t cry Samus, everything will be fine.” This time it was a woman’s voice.
The woman leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, her long blond hair brushed up against Samus face.
Screams from behind them had made the man and woman more alert now, sensing danger the man ran off to see what was going on.
“You need to go, take Samus and go. I’ll find you later!” He yelled to the woman as he ran off through a door on his right.
“Come Samus, we need to go.” The woman said grabbing her hand and dragging her out into the dark streets of a city.
Everything seemed to be normal, but there was an eerie glow coming from the distance. The woman dragged Samus farther and farther through winding passage ways and finally they arrived at the large building. It looked as though it was situated in the center of a grand city. The two of them walked through the spinning glass doors into a large room full of people in long lines. The woman past all of them, she made her way over to a smaller line with only about seven people in it.
“Samus, you stay here and when they tell you what to do you need to listen to them” She said to Samus.
Samus nodded her head and the woman was off. The line slowly got smaller as people went to the back with a two men in uniforms. Samus was finally the first in line and would be next served. The explosion had shattered the windows in the front of the building, it was such a strong blast that the glass had made its way to where Samus was standing in line at that moment. The two men ran up to her, grabbed her and ran to where they had been taking all the other people. They ran into a room that was dark, the only light was coming from small ball shaped things. The men placed her into one and closed a glass covering. It only took a few seconds for the engines of her escape pod to start up, and she was off.
Samus woke, sweat pouring down her back and dripping off of her face. The images still showed up in her mind like they were burned in. Her arms were shaking and she found it hard to grab onto anything. Pulling off the covers she sat with her feet on the floor, thinking. It was a few more minutes before she dared try and stand, her legs might not be able to handle her weight at the moment. Standing she made her way down that small hallway to the main deck. The ship wasn’t moving anymore, it sat quite still. A planet could be seen through the window, its orange glow illuminated the area around it like a night-light. There was no landmass that could be seen because the planet was covered in a thick gas.
“Computer! Where are we.” Samus asked.
“We are… at the planet Solkristic.” The computer replied. “Do you wish to land now?”
“Yes, please prepare for landing now. I will prepare my things.” Samus said.
Samus went down to where her suit was and put it on, she walked into the main deck and sat in the seat facing the window as the ship smashed through the atmosphere of the planet, revealing the landmass and something Samus would rather not like to be there.

Chapter 5-Resurecction



Samus’s ship hummed, as it got closer to the ground of the planet Solkristic. At a few feet off the ground, the grass and other plants blew away because of the jets on the bottom of the ship that slowed the ships descent to the planets surface. The door opened, sparks flew through the air from the two metal surfaces rubbing against each other. Walking down the platform Samus’s silhouette became more recognizable. Stepping out into the planet’s natural light she got a better look at what the surface of the planet was like. Her ship had landed a few hundred feet from a large tropical forest. She could hear strange sounds from deep within the forest, which were most likely the alien creatures who inhabited the planet. Out of no-where a loud humming came, Samus rolled behind a rock, opened the small keypad on her power beam. Pressing one of the buttons, her ship vanished before her eyes. The humming grew louder until it was so loud that she thought that her head was going to explode. Within seconds the humming stopped and she was blown onto the ground, her face in the dirt. She could hear footsteps crunching on the harder dirt near her ship. The thing that was walking around got closer to where Samus lay, unaware of what it would find just beyond the rock five feet away from it. Clicking sounds (like the aliens from “Signs”) were heard after it looked around the rock, more could be heard coming out of an intercom it must have used to sat what it had found. Samus was only half aware of what was going on, she could hear everything but didn’t acknowledge what was happening. Whatever had found her had called for help because more of them showed up, and they brought an empty ship type thing with them. One of them tried to remove Samus’s helmet, but it locked itself and the visor fogged up, only allowing Samus to see out and no one to see in. The four of them picked Sams up, carried (and dragged) her over to the empty ship, loaded her on and flew off towards mountains that had just appeared in the distance.
Peoples voices are what had awoken Samus from her wonderfully refreshing sleep. Opening her eyes, she saw the bars of the cell that held her captive. The visor unfogged itself. Samus walked up to the bars and grabbed hold of them. A great shock traveled through her whole body, and she let go immediately. Taking a few steps back she fell to the floor, all her energy gone.
Awaking a few hours later still in the same place but darker now. There were no voices anymore, but a light moved up the hallway just outside of her cell. The guard walked up the hallway banged on the bars with a stick, made some clicking noises, and moved on with its patrol. It was too dark to see anything so Samus didn’t get a look at the guard to see what had captured her. The voices from before must have been other prisoners, that now were all asleep. Samus decided she had nothing better to do and fell asleep. Samus went to sleep feeling like she had been awake all day.
She awoke again, from the sounds of many people talking although it didn’t seem like there were any other cells along the hall as far as Samus could see, she was the only person in a cell at all, but there were voices coming from somewhere.
“You, are you awake?” Someone said. Their voice was different from the rest. It was deep but made you feel safe.
Samus looked around for where the voice had come from, but she saw nothing.
“You cannot see me?” The invisible one said.
Although she could not see where the voice was coming from she remembered hearing it once before, somewhere long ago. Samus stood up and walked over to the cell bars, she knew that the person had to be hiding somewhere in the hall where she couldn’t see them.
“Ah, you may look, but none will be standing there.” The person said.
“I know you standing right out…” Samus stopped, she had just looked through the bars, none, none was there.
“Where are you, show yourself.” Samus said, she felt awkward talking to someone invisible.
“Show myself?… ah, but I need not show myself to you, Ms. Bounty Hunter.” Invisible said.
Samus was starting to panic, she had been locked up for too long, and was hearing things.
“Now, we must talk about why I have come.” Invisible said. “Please sit down.”
“I’d rather stand.” Samus said.
“Suit yourself.” Invisible said. “Now I came here to give you a warning, as you know space pirates are here, but, they are the least of your worries. The pirates have been working on top secret plans. They have biologically built creatures. The creatures were too strong for the pirates to control, so they are now on a ramp… someone is coming…. I will talk with you again.”
“But… but” Samus fell silent, a space pirate had just showed up at the cell door, a grin across its hideous face. It opened the door and made gestures with its hands to try and tell Samus to follow it. Because it wasn’t rocket science Samus followed, unaware of what was going to happen and where she was, because the pirate had just wrapped something around her visor so that she couldn’t see anything. Something was tapping on her shoulder. She wanted to look but knew there was no point, but just then someone whispered to her.
“Don’t worry, your going to be alright. We’re going to get you out.” It was the invisible person.
The pirate had heard the voice too, but not what it had said. It stopped tugging at the rope binding Samus’s hands together to look around for who was talking. It knew it was Samus because the voice was that of a man. The thought passed through her mind faster than it would have taken her to fire a shot from her arm cannon, if she listened hard enough, she would be able to detect where the pirate was and give it a wack across the head. But she knew better, whoever was communicating with her wanted her to keep going with the pirate so that they could get her out. The tug of the rope returned when the pirate told itself that nothing was there, and Samus stopped thinking about talking to invisible things, and started thinking about where she was going.
The pirate led her down many hallways, each turn he would say things under his breath to himself. The thought of helplessness was starting to get to Samus, she wanted to escape. She quickly remembered that if she tried to get away now it would ruin the first plan she made with the “invisibles”. She reminded herself about it every time the thought of escape crossed her mind.
“Its finally your time to go… I don’t expect the master to let you off easy after all the, the, the…” The pirate said.
“Oh my god, how stupid can you get to forget what your saying?” Samus thought.
“Ahh, here we are, the trial room. It’ll probably be your last chance to see, so you’d better suck it all in while you still can. The pirate said.
“That’s what you think.” Samus said under her breath.
The pirate walked to the double doors, and banged three times, he then talked to the door before it creaked open. The blind fold was pulled from Samus’s head. She was standing in the center of a great circular room. There were stands that circled the room, they were set up like a movie theatre. Near the center of the room, only a few feet away from her there was a platform with a chair in its middle. Guards who were at the highest set of the stands walked over to the doors Samus had just realized were there. They opened them and rows upon rows of pirates filled up the seats. A few stragglers had just sat down when all the pirates had stood up. The doors burst open and a very important looking pirate walked in, this, was the master pirate. He looked a lot different then the normal pirates, he had a gleam to him and he looked as though he was covered in metal plating. His long black cloak swept the floor causing swirls of dust to fly up into the air and slowly desend back down to the ground. His face was so full of hatred for Samus even the ground looked terrified of him. He was not going to let Samus live this time for she had been resurrected form their traps one too many times.

Chapter 6-Return to the past

I was standing on a platform, a microphone in front of me. Hundreds pf people were sitting before me, their eyes transfixed upon me. My arms and legs shook madly, but not from being nervous, it was because of enjoyment. For I, Shap Kenton, had just won the award for most important person on the colony. I had just stepped up to the platform to make my speech. Some people were quietly talking to one another, I really wished I could hear what they were saying because it must have been important for them to keep talking even though they knew I was about to start.
“H-hello” I said into the microphone, my voice 10x louder than usual.
It was like jumping into a bathtub full of cold water, I suddenly became nervous. I started to realize how many people were here and how odd my arms seemed to look – just hanging there, what purpose did they have at this time? The speech that I had memorized perfectly the night before, had been wiped completely form my memory.
“T-thank you all f-for coming and nominating m-me for this award.” I said feeling rather stupid.
I was panicking “what was the next part?” I thought to myself trying to picture the page that help all the writing on it. All the words were gone I couldn’t think of any of them, and people were starting to get impatient with me, I needed to do something.
“Hurry up!” A man in the third row called.
“We haven’t gotten all day to sit and watch you!” A woman close to him yelled.
I could feel my face getting hot, there were beads of sweat running down the side of my face. Finally breaking, I walked off the stage, my head hung down. I was so ashamed of myself. I was downstairs now, hoping that no one would find me down here. A mirror hung on the wall across the room, but I couldn’t look in it, I feared what I looked like and didn’t want to look at myself at this moment. I put my head in my hands and sat down on the cold concrete floor. Cheers came from above me as someone was awarded an award, “why had it been different for them? They remembered all of the things that they wanted to say, why couldn’t’ I?” I murmured to myself.
“Shap!” Someone called.
I lifted my head and looked around for where the sound was coming from.
“Shap, wake up!”

‘Dear lord Shap , you need to get up now!”
I opened my eyes, the room was familiar to me, well I mean it was my room. It was so bright in the room, it took some time for my eyes to adjust to this new light.
“Hurry Shap, remember that you have that interview this morning.” The voice who was my mother said. “I can’t believe that your still living here, I mean your 22 now and you still live with your mother.”
I had my own reasons for staying with my mother all these years, and that was because a few years back my father had been killed. There was a space pirate raid on his team of federation units. The pirates took them by surprise, they never knew what hit them. I decided to stay with my mother and help her out, but I had never told her this. Getting out of bed and maneuvered around all the things that lay spilled over the floor. I quickly found a shirt and some jeans that were buried under a pile of clothes. Pulling them on, I went out to the kitchen were I found my mother busily talking on the phone. Our home wasn’t the largest, but it was home and we liked it. There were only 5 rooms in total, a kitchen/living room, 2 bedrooms, and a bathroom. My mother noticed me and pointed to a bowl laying on the table. I walked over and there was my breakfast - cereal again. My mother hung up the phone and said franticly to me:
“Your interview has been changed to a different time.” She said
“What! How do you know!?” I asked her.
“I just got off the phone with Sall, she said that all the interviews were moved to an hour earlier.”
I forgot about my cereal and looked over at the clock hanging above the fridge. Only 7 minutes. I ran up to the door, pulled on a sweater and was off. Walking fast down the many colonies halls, I sped onward hoping that I would make it on time and not lose another opportunity to get a job. There weren’t too many people this early in the morning about, but there were enough to get in my way and slow me down. I pushed past a few people and almost knocked over a woman with her child. I was almost there when I noticed a large ground of people standing around something. What I was doing wasn’t important to me anymore, I had to go and see what was happening. People were pointing down to something, but I would never know what because at the very moment the colony shook, there were noises coming from the ventilation above the hall, it sounded like mice crawling around. In a split second the ventilation came crashing down and a space pirate stood a few feet in front of me, there was a woman who was in between us. I was standing staring, I didn’t know what to do, ways of getting away raced through my mind but I never executed any of them. The woman in front of me decided that she was not going to wait around for the pirate to take her life and ran for it. She hadn’t gotten very far though, because just after she had turned to run the pirate had stuck his beam weapon into her stomach and fired it five times, each shot hitting the wall across from me simultaneously. The woman’s lifeless body fell to the floor, the pirate then turned to me, what could I do? There was no way that I could run with hopes of getting away.
“Please, don’ t kill me.” I said “I’ll do anything to help you.”
I had broken, I was willing to sacrifice everyone on the colony just so that I could save my own ass. My father would have been furious with me had he been alive. Please say that you’ll let me life, please. I though to myself. By now, I’m sure that the tears were running down my face, I could feel their cool wet texture roll down the side of my face. The pirate grabbed my arm and dragged me down the hallways, until finally we were standing in the hanger where the pirates ship was.

“And that’s what happened up until the whole Samus thing where I betrayed her under the space pirates command.” I said.
I was talking with my cell mate Kentak, he had also betrayed his colony in a different pirate raid. We were both now rebels, our colonies wouldn’t have is back even if there were still people living on them. We had nowhere at the moment except with the space pirates fulfilling their deeds. We had been talking for a while now about how we had betrayed the people that we loved to save ourselves when a pirate came to the cell door.
“You.” It pointed at me. “come here, you are wanted.”
I got up and walked over to the door wondering why I was wanted? Maybe there was another mission I needed to do before the pirates would finally allow me to leave. The pirate opened the door and I walked out, it took my arms and wrapped very tightly some metallic rope around my wrists. It the dragged me down the hall, I looked back at Kentak, he had an odd look about him, like this was maybe his fault. I was being led down the many passage ways of the pirates base on Solkristic, it hadn’t been very long when we arrived at a small door. The pirate opened the door slightly and examined what was inside before opening it fully and pushing me in. The room I had entered was one that I had never seen before. Its’ high circular
Walls seemed to go up forever, never stopping. Stands were set up around the walls many pirates were sitting among the stands. My eyes fell to the middle of the room where there was a strange looking creature sitting on a chair. It took a minute to sink in, but when it did my heart dropped, there was no way, it couldn’t be.

So, its been a long wait, and chapter 7 still isn't done. I've been busy with the holidays and everything so I'll try to get it done soon. Exams are coming soon too, so I don't know when I'll get time, but I'll do my best.
