Monitor of Installation 00-D.”[/i] The personnel crew over at the Executor stood by as they heard the initial alert for the so-called "expert" of the Flood. No one knew exactly who this so called expert is, but they didn't speak another word for a good half minute before congregating amongst themselves. Onboard scanners detected that while this ship is bigger than a Star Destroyer (1,600 meters), it's still drawfed by the massive Super Star Destroyer dreadnought looming in the distance (13,469 meters). They planned to essentially eliminate the flood and entire station along with it as soon as their troops come out with the Senator, but alas it appears that plans have been changed. One of the officers beside Lord Vader looked at him curiously, looking for orders amongst the black sith lord. Yet he was one step ahead of him. [color=aba000][b]"Permission to contact that ship."[/b][/color] he states bluntly as his arms was crossed in front of his chest. With direct orders coming from Vader, one of the officers attempts to communicate with this ship on his plans of action. [b][color=0054a6]"This is Admiral Larkoff of the Executor-Class Super Star Destroyer,"[/color][/b] states the admiral, [b][color=0054a6]"Your 'expertise' in this matter requires your assistance towards the parasite-infection on the station. We demand for your plan of action against this monstrous menace, or we will fire upon the station within firing range once our men are out!"[/color][/b] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/yFdSbE1.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/or2hRra.png[/img] [@Juicy] [/center] Samus was rather surprised when she finally uncovered the victim of such a horde. Could it really be who she thinks it is...? [b][color=fff79a]"Kirby...?"[/color][/b] she asked aloud, lowering her arm cannon slightly. While Kirby doesn't necessarily live in her Universe, they have fought one another in a little competition known as the "Super Smash Bros. Tournament". It pits fighters within a multiverse sector classified by the "creator" as the "Nintendo Sector", in which they selected a few chosen fighters to fight within this contest of who is truly the strongest fighter. Characters not only included Samus and Kirby, but even more famous fighters such as Mario (the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom), Link (the hero of Hyrule), Fox McCloud (the famous Star-Pilot of the Lylat System), Marth (the Hero-King of Altea), all just to name a few. In fact, she and Kirby were part of the first tournament, when it casted a roster much smaller compared to her latest one. And she knew it was going to get bigger in the next event. However, despite their fighting, it was only competitive and nothing serious. Samus considers Kirby the Dream Warrior as an ally regardless and they had even made an interesting duo during a team-up trial. He was a good partner to have, despite his lack of syllables that don't start with "Poyo" or "Hi". Now here he is... standing motionless... as he is encapsulated in ice that he must've swallowed when she fired the ice beam at the parasites. Uh... Oops. Well there was only one way to free him out of that block of ice. She points her gun again at the pink marshmallow, setting her cannon to the "Missile" setting. She has 15 missiles locked currently in her weapon... it was enough to get her by, but she definitely needs to refuel and reammo her suit once she gets back on board. Her cannon hums ambiently as she prepares to fire with a sigh. [b][color=fff79a]"Hold still, little guy."[/color][/b] she orders as she quickly fires her missile, ultimately breaking Kirby free out of his icy prison.

The flametroopers' lead both the front and back, surrounding the regular stormtroopers as the Commander guided them with a holograph of the station provided by a nearby information booth just before they entered. It was a rather dark hallway, with patches of flood-green material having slowly beginning to grab ahold of the station. Cold and odd was the feeling that everyone had while marching in, always on a constant alert on when and where the enemy will strike. Even with the sounds of blaster fire along with the occasional screams of an unfortunate victim, not a stormtrooper stirred. They've been in situations like this, although admittedly it's not often those exactly like this. Yet behind their helmets, each one had that uncanny feeling that they were surrounded by something... and that they were being watched. [color=red][i][b]"They're coming..."[/b][/i][/color] Abigail alerts cautiously as they soon come up near a corner, when suddenly several large zombie-like tendrilled abominations came roaring from the corner, [color=red][i][b]"And they're hungry!"[/b][/i][/color] The flametroopers in the front stood their ground as they ignited their weapons, spewing several long volleys of reddish-orange flame at the plant-like monsters. They seemed to reel in anger and pain as they slowly began to burn away from the intense heat. One trooper feels one of the long tendrils nearly brush his helmet and gun before falling to the ground and dying agonizingly Just like what the debriefing said... these guys are indeed weak to fire. But according to the redhead [color=red][i][b]"Those aren't the problem."[/b][/i][/color] as she points behind them to reveal the vent openings above them release a green mist into the room before bulbous creatures starting pouring out of it. [color=red][i][b]"These are the problems!"[/b][/i][/color] If the mist attempted to take control of the stormtroopers with their spores, then they would be out of luck, as the helmets were specialized to filter out harmful chemicals and spores of nearly any kind. As Abigail raised her blades, the flametroopers at that back began to harass them with their flamethrowers, burning most who get too close. Yet even as one began to crawl up one of their legs', a stormtrooper recognizes it and quickly takes aim at the leg... and surprisingly didn't miss it. Even the rest of the nearby stormtroopers began firing briefly at some of the creatures as they slowly continued moving forward down the hallway. [b]"Keep in line men!"[/b] the stormtrooper field commander states sternly as they continue to move slowly, [b]"Keep these scum-bags at bay and move in tight formation! Do not let them break through!"[/b]
