To Understand An Hunter

Agent I-82B was too tired. Too many missions, too much office job, no fun... and most of his wage spent on coffee. The last report, four pages long and just consisting of a row of 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy', convinced him.
"That's enough! I am going to have an holiday, Shipwreck! Let's prepare ourself! Firstly, the suit: too recognizable. Something more anonymous". The suit chamouflaged into a lime green one with two really narrow eyes, while all the tentacles but two turned into a small pyramidal shape, with the remaining becoming more antenna-like.
"Second: a ship! Let's see. I have stolen in my carrer thirty-two ships, twenty of them destroyed on mission. I have... a Space Pirate Ship, a limousine, a pod of the Wrecked Ship from Zebes... oh, a school bus: perfect!"
He put a sign on his office onto it read: "Do not disturb. I'm on an holiday"
Prepared anything, he entered into the ship and activated it. After forty minutes of random travel, he landed on the closest planet. As he read on the scan:
Planet of the Federation - Ridley and his Space Pirates attacked it, destroying the colony and leaving no survivors
"What a sad thing - Xanny commented - A place where to relax and reflect on Existential question... perfect! Here I go!"

Samus had flowed and landed on the Colony K-2L since it was her birthday. It was the first time she had been back since the Chozo had taken her. She stood over the memorial in honor of those who died when Ridley attacked, tears slowly falling down her cheeks as she was in her Zero-Suit.
A part read:
Rodney and Virginia Aran, parents of Samus Aran
May your souls forever be in the stars,
Guiding your daughter wherever she goes

All the people she had known had died during the crash. She could barely remember some, but they were still her family and friends.

Argos was on guard duty here on K-2L, where he was actually at peace. He only felt at peace during battle, but here was different. He felt calm here. He was on a patrol around the area when he found Samus, the hunter he'd met once before, looking at the stone that honored the biggest heroes of K-2L: Rodney and Virginia Aran. Virginia for saving Samus, and Rodney for the ultimate sacrifice. He stood looking at it as well for a moment, then saluted with his helmet off, an honor he barely ever gave, the stone. He turned and walked away, not saying a word to her.

As Argos walked off, Samus sank to her knees, as she made a hiccup before crying softly. It was a long time since she had actually cried.

Argos turned enough to see Samus cry. He would not think of her as the crying type. Nevertheless, he walked onwards, wondering if she knew it was him. He left.
(that was his only appearance)
-----------------
Houston had landed on K-2L to honor the heroine of the Federation, only to find her there already. Without their suits, they still looked to be battle hardened warriors, trained for this kind of thing. But nothing prepared him to see her cry. He walked over to her and kneeled down beside her.
"Samus? Are you... okay?"

The pirates long fought for the domain where they bereaved the great Samus Aran. At the slash of his claw, Ridley could destroy large portions of the Federation army. He did not sense his newest burden; a federation multiple position soldier named Shasta. At last, K-2L would be pirate territory. He decided to have fun with the crowd though, because of the sheer easiness to destroy them. He blew fire, killing about a dozen soldiers, laughing.

Samus looked at Houston. "Houston?" She asked, choking back tears.

"Yeah. It's me."
Houston heard a voice from his radio.
"Get your suit; the Pirates are back for their 20th anniversary."
Houston goes to his ship and gets his suit. He comes back to a readied up Samus.
"Its been a while since I've killed something... Forgive me if I'm rusty."Houston chuckles and dons his helmet. He brings his cannon up.
"Lets do this."

Samus said in a razor sharp tone, "They will not take K-2L. They will have to beat every last breath out of me first. I swear that as a Chozo Warrior, and on the behalf of everyone who died here. Including me." That was true; a part of her had died with her parents and the other members of the colony. "Let's kick some ass."

Houston feels a rush as he realizes he may not return today... But he eliminates that thought. Today, he would not fight for killing, or money. He fights for the Federation. He starts a run. A slow one, but a run, nonetheless. He spots a space pirate and shoots it, hitting it fatally in the head.

((I think we should wait for Xantospoc. He missed a lot))

((He'll catch up. I've pulled it off.))

"You may run on the countdown!" Ridley screamed to his troops, determined to reclaim K-2L.

"3!"

((Don't worry, I won't go to one until he gets here...))

((Aran, do not worry about me! I live in Italy. When you wrote that message, it was 3 am in my country!))

In the meanwhile Agent I-82B, who had turned his suit into its defeault form, was sleeping with a makeshift ammock out of his tentacles... He wasn't aware on the oncoming danger.

"2!" Ridley knew that most of Earth's army would not come. Only, of course, the troops that were stationed on K-2L and the Earth troops who gave a damn. ((Reference to Persia Pwning the Ionians before Greek\Persian wars))

((lol))

Samus stood, reading her arm cannon, as she spoke again. "They will not take this colony."

"Yes." Thoth said behind her. "We can't let them win." He walked in front of her, charging his PED. "Shasta would be here... But he had to do something else... Some crappy taxonomy research on this one demon spawning planet."

---

"ONE!"

A small army of about a thousand plowed forward. Thoth drew out the PED into something like a Phazon sword. He began Stabbing random space pirates, not giving them a chance.

As Samus blasted away Space Pirates in hordes, she wished for the first time she had a PED still. It would have proved useful in a situation like this one. As she killed them, she took a tally. "1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20.."

Agent I-82B was going to be ambushed by a Pirate, but due to luck, the alien first touched his palm and electrocouted himself. Xanny woke up from his aggressor's screams before passing out. As he saw him, he said aloud to himself: "Junk! Ouf of all the places I had to end up, the one being invaded by Space Pirates. That's not fair! I'm getting out of it". As he got to the school bus spaceship, he saw to his horror it was destroyed: "Damn you, Space Pirates! You ruined my holiday! Better find someone to fight them off... or to give them a funny destruction!".
Agent I.82B started randomly dancing as if he had gone mad, shocking his enemies first metaphorically, then literally once they were confused enough. "Now that they passed out, someone of the Federation is going to get rid of them... I hope. I brought no weapon... but they did!".
Soon, Xanny stole with his tentacles all the weapons he could from the pirates, hoping to find someone to use them, for he dislikes killing.

Thoth smiled at his progress. If his estimate was correct, there were about 1000 Pirates currently on K-2L, 3 of which he had just killed, so he had just killed 0.3%, meaning he needed effort•333, and time•333, meaning if he needed to take them down himself, it would take 18 hours and 30 minutes. On the effort of everybody on his side, which was probably about 10 pirates, he was about 1 percent through, which meant time•100, effort • 100. This meant about 30 minutes until they could end it. Hopefully they wouldn't have enough time to signal more ships.

Agent I-82B found some metallic wires and started tying up all the Pirates he had knocked out onto a wall and the ground.
The message which could be seen from above was:

Don't dare to ruin my vacation, you pieces of junk!

"Somebody had to tell something about this!", he loudly commented.
-------------------------

While Samus was wiping out so many Pirates, a figure in green armor grabbed her wist and trew her away. It was Weavel. Activating his energy scythe, he said a single word with a deep, robotic voice: "DIE!"

Samus ignored Weavel and continued firing on the other Space pirates.

If Weavel had have eyes, they would have narrowed. He changed his battle hammer and with a shot, he hurled all of his foes and allies away. One of the victim was a Space pirate with a red shirt, who flew across different miles.
Done This, Weavel charge once more at Samus
-----
"Oh, noes! I have forgotten the point in the exclamation mark and I ran out of Pirate!", Agent I-82B commented. Then, the poor pirate landed unconscious.
"Oh thank you!", Xanny said

Samus stared at Weavel for a moment. "What?" She asked, dodging his attack. "I don't have time to deal with you."

"(010011110110001001100101011110010010000001010010011010010110010001101100011001010111100100100001)", Weavel thought, which means "Obey Ridley!" in binary code
Weavel exploited the situation to thrust an elbow into Samus' stomach.

((Silent hunters are the most bothersome sometimes))

Samus sighed, and fired a ice missile at Weavel. "Bothersome Pirate."
