Chapter Three: Captain Meets Hunter
Kevin
thought fast in order to save Ryu from the oncoming throwing stars. He used his
Power Pad to give himself the strength to throw the bounty hunter he was
fighting with in the way of the throwing stars.
“Arrg!”
The bounty hunter cried out as he dissipated in a blip. More stars flew out of
the shadows, aimed at both Kevin and Ryu now.
“Hey,
no fair!” shouted Kevin. He leapt out of the way and pulled out The Zapper. He
took aim and shot the stars out of the air. Kevin aimed at the area the stars
came from and fired. A figure in ninja garb rolled out of a shadowy balcony,
throwing more stars at Kevin. Kevin again shot them down with the Zapper. Kevin
shot at the figure as it landed. The energy of The Zapper’s blasts rippled
around the figure but didn’t seem to do any damage. “What?” thought Kevin, “no
ninja has energy shields! This is another bounty hunter!” The ninja-hunter
threw another few stars and leapt over Kevin, trying to get to Ryu. Kevin used
his Power Pad to leap up and tackle the ninja clothed hunter. The stars flew
into the mob, taking out the other bounty hunters.
The
hunter rolled with the tackle and flipped Kevin onto his back. Kevin grunted
and tried to roll over on top. The ninja disguised hunter kicked out at Kevin
as he rolled, and flipped him off again. Kevin kicked out at the hunter,
hitting the hunter’s head. The hunter’s mask cracked. The hunter rolled and
flipped up over Kevin. Kevin got up in time to punch at the hunter as the
hunter landed crouching. The hunter blocked, but the mask fell away revealing a
woman’s face. Kevin stood up, shocked, gasping.
“Oh
my gosh, you’re Samus Aran! You are totally my favorite video game character ever,
I can’t believe I finally get to meet you! I never thought we’d ever get to
visit Metroid Land, but you’re here. Oh my gosh Metroid is so awesome, you’re
so awesome! Oh my gosh! This is so totally awesome. Oh. My. Gosh.” Kevin said,
his fanhood of Metroid coming to the fore. Completely forgetting the dangerous
situation that he was in. Samus stood up into a defensive stance, and looked at
Kevin with suspicion.
“How
do you know me, boy?” she said. On guard.
Kevin
bounced up and down in excitement. “You’re only in the best videogame ever!
You’re the star of it! You’re the best!” Kevin said, as he flailed about. Samus
looked at him with disdain.
“Get
over it boy, I’m about to run you down. This is my bounty, and I don’t fail.”
“What?
I can’t believe you’d ever work for Mother Brain!” said Kevin. Shocked again.
“What
nonsense are you speaking of boy?” said Samus, irritated at this pathetic
diversion attempt.
“The
Princess of Videoland found the sources that went through the bounty agency
were bogus! Mother Brain wants this guy taken out because he refused to join
her!” Kevin said.
“What?
Don’t be ridiculous, she can afford to offer her own bounties.” Samus said as
she knocked Kevin’s legs out from under him and pulled out a blaster. Clearly
done with this banter.
“Oof.”
Kevin fell gracelessly, too surprised to have dodged. “But you wouldn’t take
her bounties, Samus!” Kevin said from the ground, as he didn’t even try to get
up. Samus aimed the blaster at him. “You’re the only bounty hunter that never
fails her bounties! This Ninja Gaiden guy is too good to be taken out by anyone
else.”
“
There are other Hunters in the Elite Hunter League, boy. Your efforts are
useless, I hope you have a continue saved up.” Samus said, unmoved. Kevin was
stunned, why would he lie about this? Didn’t she know who he was? He was
Captain N, savior of Videoland! Just as Samus pulled the trigger an arrow flew
out of the quickly ending scuffle behind them and spoiled her aim. The blast
hit the ground next to Kevin’s head.
“Don’t
worry Cap, I’ve got your back!” called Kid Icarus.
“Thanks
for the save!” Said Kevin. He kicked up and knocked the blaster out of Samus’
hand. Samus grabbed Kevin’s leg and twisted, Kevin twisted with the move and
kicked out with his other leg. “I don’t want to fight you Samus! Let me prove
what I’m saying!” Samus let go of Kevin’s leg and stepped back.
“Alright,
but if this evidence isn’t good your little sniper buddy won’t be enough to
save your skin!” Samus said. She pulled out more throwing stars from her ninja
suit and aimed at the bounty hunters still up and fighting with the rest of the
N Team. They dissipated in blips, leaving one opponent for each person in the
fight. “That should even things up a bit.” Samus said. Lana kicked out and
destroyed her opponent. Megaman blasted away his and Kid Icarus’ opponents as Kid
Icarus flew over to Kevin. Ryu took down his opponent flawlessly.
“Are
you ok, Kevin? That looked like a boss fight!” Kid Icarus said. Samus was
unimpressed with Kid Icarus’ comment. Kevin looked embarrassed.
“Where
is this proof?” Samus said. She wanted to get this over with so she could
collect her bounty. Kevin gestured at Lana.
“Princess
Lana found this out, she can tell you exactly how.” Kevin said. Lana walked
over and took stock of the situation. Samus might not have kept up with what
Captain N looked like, but she did know who the Princess of Videoland was by
sight. Samus proffered a shallow bow to Lana.
“Princess.”
Samus said in acknowledgement of her status.
“Thank
you, Hunter.” Lana said, “The sources of the N Team may not be what they were
when my father was in power, but they are still enough. One of our agents has
access to the files of the Bounty Hunter’s Unlimited Organization. This person
sent us notification when one of Mother Brain’s less well-known minions filed a
suspicious bounty. It turns out our agent’s suspicions were correct. Mother
Brain had offered the Ninja Gaiden a high rank in The Legion of Darkness. For
his skills are well known. She was angry at being turned down.” Lana said. Ryu
gave a bow of acknowledgement.
“This
is true, I was approached by this eggplant person with an offer to work for
Mother Brain. I declined the offer, explaining I preferred to work for no one.”
Ryu said. “No ninja would resort to such dishonor on his abilities as to hire
others to fight in his place. I turned to The N Team for aid, as only machines
need no sleep.” Samus nodded slightly in agreement to the truth of this
statement.
“I’ll
verify this myself.” Samus said. And turned away, “But don’t think I’m finished
with you yet.” Samus gave Kevin a strong look, and seemed to melt back into the
shadows as she went on her way. The N Team watched her go with some
trepidation. Except for Kevin. He was too excited to be worried by Samus’
statement.
“Man,
I can’t believe I got to meet Samus! This is the best day in Videoland ever!”
Kevin said, jumping about, unable to contain his excitement.
“If
it wasn’t for Kid Icarus that bounty hunter would have creamed you, Kevin!”
Lana said. Kevin was too busy bouncing and talking to himself to notice Lana’s
reprimand.
“Yeah
Princess. But I don’t get why she was still so mad!” Kid Icarus said. “I shot
her with my Arrow of Affection! She should have been feeling too warm and fuzzy
to want to kill anything!” Kid Icarus seemed worried by this seeming problem
with his arsenal.
