Dedicated to my friend Dr Emblem for his 16th Birthday. I thought it was funny to give him the 16th for his 16th. I mean, I started writing it then... Couldn't get it all done in an hour so hey happy late birthday!

"What on earth? But you're so pretty! You're not meant to be a bad guy!" Pit said in a confused outburst.
"Shut it angel boy, you're between me and my bounty." Samus replied, her voice muffled by the helmet.
"I don't get it... Your bounty?" I said with much confusion.
"fine then, I'll spell it out to you. Someone has paid me half of a very large sum of money to get Articuno and bring it to them, dead or alive. If I do, I get the other half of my money. Capiche?" she spat venomously.
"who sent you?" Owain asked, furious.
"no names. It's part of my work. Now if you don't mind, I haven't got all day to just stand here answering your petty questions. Move it!" she said, bargaining past us as she did. I drew my sword and pointed it towards her, stopping her in her tracks. She turned back to face us, the gun on her arm poised.
"must I really harm you too? Such sweet little faces... It'd be a shame!" she said in a mocking tone.
"You really think I'm sweet?!" Pit said with his eyes widened like an excited puppy.
"SHUT UP PIT!" Owain and I said together.
"That's it! I'm sick of you, angel boy! You're first!" she pointed her gun straight at Pit's head and fired a beam of some sort. Pit just about ducked beneath it, the beam singing his hair. Owain dived in to tackle Samus to the ground, only to fly over her as she somehow curled into a perfect ball and rolled out of the way. Once she had resumed a humanoid form, she laid on me with several shots of cannon fire. Each of these I dodged, stepping further and further backwards each time. I saw a beam being charged and shot, and with me now on a ledge there was nowhere to dodge.
"AKI DANSTROPEN!" Owain cast a sheild in front of me that sent the projectile rebounding into the cave. "I knew that those lessons from aunt Zelda would be useful someday!" Owain said with a fist pump.

Suddenly an ear-piercing screech echoed from the cave. Articuno emerged and flew past us to float just off the cliff edge looking as if she had been startled. A beam of ice shot from her beak and headed straight at us.
