Naroz knew that his weapon wouldn't be able to open the door. "What is is Galleon?" he thought staring down at his companion. If he was thinking of going up then it wasn't the best idea seeing that the metroids and SA-X were somewhere on the surface and without proper backup they would be destroyed.
'If we can't get through the door... we might be able to build a super weapon...' he was thinking of sacrificing his suit to power up a gun that might be able to blast a small hole to the other side...

"Remember our training. There is always a way out of a situation" said Galleon. "Stand next to me and aim your weapon at that door.I hope this works...

Naroz stood next to Galleon and aimed his weapon at the door. "Together...we must survive this." He stated and pulled on the trigger of the weapon as they fired at the door in unison.

Galleon fired at the door. This has to workGalleon thought as he pushed the button on the side of his gun. A huge ball of flame formed at the end of his gun. He let it loose, at the same time he yelled"Use your super missiles." "Congratulations Galleon, you have passed training He remembered. That training is what got me here today, that training prepared me for the deaths of others, that training prepared me for this mission. I will never forget that training.

The opened, and Naroz paused for a moment. They needed to find an enemy, but from his previous knowledge of the hardly explored planet, he could infer that any weak monsters would be near the surface, because as far as the metroid evolution goes, the bigger and stronger forms dwell in the twisted maze of SR388. The commander peered into the next room to find it less confining and more open. There was the sound of water dripping and the scuttle of a zoomer creeping across the wall.
"Let's follow that zoomer, it might lead us to a food source..." he stated thinking about surviving before thinking about escaping.

"Good idea"Galleon said as he put his gun away. He started to follow the zoomer. He was hoping he wouldn't scare it away. If he scared away this zoomer the two of them would be eating for a while. Let's go before we lose sight of it.

They followed the Zoomer as it moved through a tiny crawl space, making sure to keep their distance and not to scare the docile creature. It lead them to a pool of water, which would be safe to drink- dehydration was no longer a problem.
There was also some grass life nearby. "This tiny area could be this Zoomer's home, we shouldn't disturb it's resting place too much, so we will only take what we need." Naroz always liked Zoomers. They were his favorite animal while growing up and now he was enjoying their new company. He plucked some of the weeds growing around the pool and examined it. He found something interesting...
"There might be explosive vegetation nearby. According to our training manuals, the planet Talon IV was full of explosive plants... filled with energy. With that kind of energy we could make a radio and contact headquarters!" Naroz exclaimed looking around for signs of the explosive plant.

Galleon took a long drink of the water from the little pool. he raised his face and looked into the water. At first he didn't recognize the man staring back at him. I don't even recognize myself. I even have a beard(which he did not particularly like. He liked his face to be well-trimmed.) Galleon just realize what Naroz had said started to look around for the explosive plant in hopes of making a communication device. They had a chance of being rescued. But, just how big was that chance...

As Naroz looked for the plant he had taken off the majority of his armor and his weapon was leaned against the rocky wall of the cavern. He could tell that the pool of water resurfaced over in another small chamber and their zoomer friend was currently over there fluttering about in some herbs and moss. The commander smiled and then he heard a noise echoing from behind them. He got down on all fours and peered through the tiny hole leading into the larger cavern behind them. The door they just had trouble getting through was smoldering, but that wasn't what caught his attention. There was something moving over on the other side. It was slow, but it was the size of a human at least.
"Galleon!" Naroz whispered pointing towards the hole, indicating that something was moving. It could be the SA-X, looking for something to hunt, or a place to escape the metroids. He turned back and could tell that the Zoomer had stopped moving, if it was a threat to the zoomer it could very well be a threat to them. "Hold your position while I look for a way out of here..." he said quietly moving to swim through the pool to the other side, leaving his armor and weapon behind.

Galleon froze. Everyone was terrified of the SA-X and he was no different. But that training helped me prepare for the SA-X. He pulled his gun close and slowly hid behind a cluster of plants. His gun was at the ready just in case he had to make a distraction for Naroz to get away for he was already on his way out of the cavern.

The creature was not the SA-X. It was something unexpected, yet it had lived on SR388 for years. Still, a menace it was, and in truth it was more frightening than the SA-X. The only weapon you could use against this, was one the federation did not have. The Gamma metroid moved slowly, clawing its way towards the passageway sniffing for it's next meal. Naroz had made it to the other side and his under garments were specially made to dry quickly. Still slightly out of breath he found something interesting on the other side of the pool. Hanging on the ceiling was one of the explosive plants they needed to create the radio. "Galleon! I found it!" He called out, but not too loudly, still conscious of the 'thing' on the other side of the cavern wall.

"Good"said Galleon. But how do i get out of here. This thing is sniffing me out. Naroz my training is kicking in again. We don't need to kill it we just need to block its path to us by making the ceiling above it and block it.

Naroz was having trouble thinking of a way to grab the giant explosive plant without them getting buried under hundreds of rocks and debris. He could see that portions of the sap were dripping down, and he might be able to collect the energy from them...
"Don't blow up the cavern, this place will fall into itself, we could get buried and I don't have my armor!" he exclaimed hoping that Naroz wouldn't try sealing them off from the other caverns. He still didn't know what it was that coming towards them, but he knew it wasn't something to mess with. He slowly swam back to his armor and weapon, and then carried them back to the other chamber.
The Gamma metroid was picking up their sound and was lumbering towards the tiny hole leading into the zoomer's home. IF Galleon didn't do something it would be upon him... and like any breed of metroid it would suck the life force from his body and consume him.

Galleon saw the thing scuttling toward the zoomer's whole. Galleon rolled over closer to the water as quietly as he could. He knelled down in the shallow water and put his gun above his head. Then very slowly he started going over to Naroz. He turned around as he got to the other side and switched to his scan visor.
Sadly as Galleon scanned the creature he realized that Naroz was right it was a Gamma Metroid. "You were right, It's a Gamma Metroid. I scanned it. What should we do?" Galleon whispered.

"It looks like our little zoomer friend has long fled..." Naroz stated noticing their short term friend had clambered up the side of the wall and out into the open. The commander was busy trying to escort the explosive plant down from the side of the wall. if only we had an ice beam! Naroz thought, recalling the metroid's main weakness.
The ominous 'squee' emitted from the metroid as it made it's way into the secondary chamber. Naroz could recall that if it noticed them it would lunge at them at high speeds. It was moving slowly now, but it could move a lot faster than they could. There was then a loud noise as the creature dove through the watery passage and towards the two federation troops. It's larger head broke away part of the cavern as it leaped towards Galleon's face.
