After finally reaching the end of the pipe Samus was greeted by a cave full of broken pieces of machinery , pipes going inside the rocks and a structure that looked like the entrance to the station. This cave had a large hole in the ceiling which made this the brightest place she'd been to so far. Sunlight filled the cave which gave a glare off the various metal surfaces around. Dust could be seen floating in the air. Judging by what could be seen through the open air it seemed that this area was now at ground level and several miles away from the canyon where Samus arrived. Samus stepped onto part of the submerged floor and walked over to the structure that was in the center of the cave. A green hexagonal door blocked the entrance to the tourquise coloured building.
"Haven't seen one of these in a while" she thought to herself as she opened the door with a super missile. Inside the corridor was lit up as she entered . the walls were tourquise and full of dozens of cracks . A blue door at the end opened into a large rectangular room that had numerous amounts of control panels and computers near a window.
"These computers have not been used in a long time but there purpose was to serve as a means of interacting with the various water flows and to open other sections of the facility."
With that info Samus switched to the thermal visor and located a power circuit in the wall , switching to the wave beam she shot it and it energised the computers. Sparks exploded out of the computers as they slowly powered up and a faint mechanical sound could be heard as a new part of the facility opened up. A loud mechanical voice enveloped the room.
"Generator access granted"
Samus exited the room through the left and entered an open area but quickly jumped and ducked behind a cracked tube that connected up to the control room. Peaking around the corner she could see space pirates across the water hauling various containers of different sizes!
"Adam come in! there's space pirates down here. They must have waited for the purple liquid to drain before finding a quick path down here"
The transmission went static as Adam tried to speak and then went dead. She would be completely on her own from now on but that's something she was used to.A pirate ice trooper was commanding the others when without warning an alpha metroid made its way through cracks in the nearby wall and attacked the pirates!. The ice trooper fired at it unsuccessfully and the alpha grabbed its helmet in its jaws and with a loud pop the ice trooper dropped to the ground with only half its head left . Samus couldn't help but feel relieved and amused that this metroid would clear out her enemies only to then be killed by her. Some pirates attempted to flee and were shot in the back by their superiors , the alpha dove at a pirate militia but was halted in its attack when a wave trooper threw himself over the militia and sliced the metroids sack open as it slid underneath. This was her time to strike now! She stepped out from behind the tube and fired a super missile at the ground between a group of most of the pirates which saw them be thrown in all directions like rag dolls. Limbs , pieces of armour and arm cannons rained down in all directions as Samus went over to finish the survivors . The wave trooper got up frantically and called out for what was presumed to be back up. With a charged wave shot the wave trooper met his demise as the electricity fried his armour and he fell into the water. The water itself then became electrified as electricity forked in all directions striking down any wounded pirates and any who attempted to reinforce the wounded. Samus dove forward over a container and took out those who attempted to flee with single beam shots to the back of the heads . Armoured pirates of all kinds sprinted up a nearby hill and some came out of the cracks in rocks way up high. Samus turned into the morph ball and two seconds later a power bomb engulfed a good chunk of the cave, all the pirates were instantly vaporised and the ones with stronger armour only lasted about a second longer than their brethren . The rocks collapsed and part of the water evaporated before being replaced by the slow trickle of a stream. Samus made her way down the hill and reached an overgrown balcony that suggested the hill was once a staircase. Below, several decorated stone pathways led to the generator , the paths forming a cross shape around it. The generator resembled two pyramids with the tips touching each other, One from the ceiling and one from the ground. It was built out of some orange material and a blue orb was suspend between the tips which powered the blue flashing lines that ran along either side of the generator . Right as Samus was about to walk down steps to her right the wall beside her exploded and rocks were flung everywhere. A boulder hit Samus and she landed at the bottom of the steps with the boulder ontop of her. She groaned in pain and destroyed it with a super missile. Her chest felt really badly bruised from the impact and she could only get to her knees then remained on all fours winded and in immense pain. Looking up she squinted her eyes as a figure stepped out of the smoke , it's presence was made well known as the embers in the air surrounded it as it stepped to the edge of the wall and stopped. The figure was wearing armour - No it's body was the armour! It was a dark grey and the shoulder pads had a similar design to the varia suit's shoulder pads. The chest was pointy and the hips had numerous clamps that attached to the torso. The figure jumped down with a metallic thud onto the balcony Samus was on moments earlier . She knew it was looking at her but she couldn't see it's face through the golden visor that covered the face. The figure stood for several seconds as if waiting for her to make her move first. She staggered to her feet and suddenly before she could even scan, the figure pulled an arm pistol from a hatch in it's right leg and shot at her. She turned into morph ball and rolled quickly away as the weapon rapid fired green bolts that impacted all around her with great force!. The figure stopped shooting and put its weapon away as as the clamps released from its torso and its upper body sprung off and landed using its hands as legs. The lower body fell to its knees and the crotch flipped upside down and opened up a turret that began firing the same rapid bolts as the pistol. The upper body chased after Samus with remarkable speed and caught up to the morph ball in no time. It sprung in the air and the arms spun around dealing an energy tank worth of damage to the varia suit. Samus laid a bomb and it exploded as the figure landed , knocking it on its back . It's arms spun around and it's torso twisted back into an upward position as the chase continued . Samus jumped out of morph ball and before the figure could react the grapple beam grabbed it and Samus flung it around and threw it into a pillar, as she turned to face the lower body it stopped firing and stood up before jumping down the stairs and rolling toward the upper body . Samus watched in shock as the upper body jumped out of the rubble and reattached itself to its full form. It now stood in front of her and her heartbeat was incredibly fast. What other terrible abilities did this thing have? And how she could possibly defend against such a powerful rapid fire weapon in her current winded state? The figure placed it's right foot back and took a stance as a previously unseen hole in its right forearm extended a yellow scythe .
"You're full of tricks aren't you? " samus commented sarcastically. She switched to her scan visor right as the figure spun around and swiped from the left , she jumped back and started firing at the figure as the scan visor finally revealed the identity of her new foe.
"Morphology: Weavel. Reborn and enhanced to a greater threat level , Weavel survived his last battle with you on planet Zebes and has had his entire body surgically dissected and transformed into the mechanical monstrosity infront of you. Only his head and upper jaw remain organic while everything else has been augmented for the purpose of maximum combat efficiency. Weavel has served as a bounty hunter for the pirates in the years since your last encounter and has relinquished his position as commander. This appears to have been optional and for the purpose of being able to hunt on his own. Target is extremely vengeful and has been trying to track you for years. Maximum firepower is recommended as Weavel can now easily hold his ground in combat with you. His primary weapon is the battlehammer, a rapid fire pistol that deals incredible amounts of damage capable of breaking most armour suits. Target can separate his body into the half turret and will use his lower body to fire battlehammer shots while the upper half uses melee attacks. "
"Oh fucking wonderful this is exactly what I need on an important mission like this" Samus stated to herself as fear began to sit in with the realisation of what she just learned.
Weavel blocked the shots with his scythe then jumped and kicked her in the side of the head . Samus staggered back as weavel attacked with scary precision and anger. He had years to prepare for this and probably figured out everything she was capable of aswell, Samus backfliped toward the generator but as she landed the scythe scratched across her stomach leaving a huge dent about 3 inches deep in the armour. Desperately fighting for her life she used the screw attack to knock weavel back and he roared , possibly due to remembering that this was the same attack that ruined his life. She fired several missiles at him and used the wave beam to disorientate him as he jumped , flipped and rolled around the area. There was only one way she could get out of this alive and upon realising that she turned quickly and hit the centre of the generator with a super missile . It exploded and the wall behind it was destroyed which caused a huge gush of water to smack into Samus and weavel carrying them away as it destroyed the balcony and the wall underneath, taking them some place far below. Samus spun uncontrollably in the water trying to remain focused so her suit wouldn't come off and instantly kill her but also so she could keep track of her enemy. Weavel was also spinning uncontrollably and as he came close to her he headbutt her which caused him to flip upside down and her to be completely disoriented as she spun. The two eventually lost each other as the water levelled out upon entering hollowed out ground of some other cave. Samus grabbed onto the dirt of the bank of the new river and pulled herself out of the water and lay on dirt. She groaned from the pain in her chest but was thankful to be alive. She remained on the ground for ages trying to recover from all that just happened. lying on her back and looking upwards a single thought crossed her mind .
"Space pirates... things just got worse"
