1 week after the BSL incident
The rippling red jumpgate appeared, and a purple ship slid out as the gate closed. This ship belonged to Samus Aran, fugitive bounty hunter.
Samus looked over her shoulder, a useless gesture within a ship. “Are we safe now, Adam?”
“I think so. We are well out of Federation territory.” Adam, the ship’s computer, replied.
Samus relaxed. “Finally. I thought the Feds would chase us into a star.”
“You know, a lot of trouble would have been saved if you complied with the Federation’s demands.” Adam said. “After all,…”
“Yeah yeah. I know.” Samus snapped. “But honestly, how did they expect to wrangle a clone of me, let alone ten? The SA-X had everything I did from my last stint on Zebes. I got lucky when I killed it.” She looked at the console. “Where are we, anyway?”
“Checking…” Adam replied. “A system called Telgorn. Wait…” There was a pause as Adam scanned the system. “Oh dear.”
“Sounds like I’m about to hear something I don’t want to hear.”
“Samus, look at Telgorn III.”
Samus looked at the magnified image. “So? We’ve come across planets with loads of water before. How is this one different?” She looked at the radiation readings. “Oh hell no.”
“I’ve never seen radiation readings like that before.” Adam said.
“I have. That’s Phazon.” Samus looked closer at the readings. “Oh, look. More fun. The Space Pirates have a base there. Looks like they’re pretty well entrenched, too.”
“Okay. Let’s leave. Before they find us.”
“Without stopping to say ‘hi’? Where are your manners, Adam?” Samus said. She had a grim, determined look on her face.
An alarm sounded. “Samus, they found us! Let’s go!” Adam sounded worried.
A Space Pirate face came on the monitor. “Attention unidentified vessel, this is the Space Pirate frigate Kaladon. Surrender, or…” The Space Pirate trailed off when he saw Samus’ face. “Ah, the Hunter graces us with her presence.”
Samus flicked off the monitor. In one second, her ship was trapped in a tractor beam. Samus put on her helmet. “It’s been too long since I’ve killed a Pirate.”
Samus’ ship floated down onto the deck of the frigate. Samus dropped out of the entry and promptly blasted the nearest Space Pirates. The entire hangar looked at her, and began their attack. Skilled though she was, the Space Pirates overwhelmed Samus, forcing her to escape into the vents.
Samus checked her suit when she was safe from the Pirates. She found that nothing functioned but her Power Beam and Morph Ball. “Wonderful.” she muttered as she crawled through the vents. She knew she had to find Adam and a Phazon Suit if she was ever going to get rid of this Pirate infestation. And if this followed her previous adventures at all, a lot of things were going to explode.
Samus smiled. She liked when things exploded.
You’ll be getting the standard compliment of gear:

Fusion Suit (the one you had at the end of Fusion)
Phazon Fusion Suit (the one you need to find on the frigate)
Misc:
Morph Ball
Space Jump
Screw Attack
High Jump
Ball Jump
Grapple Beam (maybe)
Enemies:

Elite Pirates

Phazon Elites (again, that is plural)
Beam Troopers
Metroids
Fission Metroids

Phazon critters (no Pirate interference)
Right now, I need someone who can make the engine and do the programming. Sounds will be ripped (as soon as I can find a program that does it), and so will some of the graphics. I will need to borrow the Omega Pirate, Elite Pirate, and Phazon Elite sprites from P2D. Most everything else graphics-wise will be ripped and edited. I’m learning GM6 right now, so bear with me.
Anyone wanting to help, send an e-mail to: Unicronthedestroyer@gmail.com, along with a sample of your work. I’ll post updates here, especially if I need more help.
Edit: I’ll also need good mappers pretty soon. Mail me if interested.
Edit 2: Screenies! These are not in-game (i have no engine to work with here), but made using various resources I have handy.

Note: Killed due to lack of programming. I’m learning C++ now, so I might come back and do all this in C++. Or, if I get around to learning it, GameMaker.
