The pirate's jaw opened wide, while Samus ripped those that were behind him to shreds with a combination of grapple and charged plasma beams. Scorched pieces of pirate came screaming through the air, as Sullivan gulped in terror. She pulled her gun back up, and shot at the creature's face.
The shot passed by his head harmlessly, as the creature rehinged his jaw and laughed darkly. In a quicker motion, it grabbed her arm and
bit into it with a loud, sickening
crunch of armor and flesh. Sullivan screamed in abject agony, as she tried to yank her right arm out of its jaw, before it simply yanked its head to the side.
The force ripped into her arm, pulling out chunks of flesh and skin, letting pieces of armor clang against the ground. It laughed again and
again, before it started digging into her arm with one of its arms.
She shot at it wildly in the midst of panic, shots fired wildly as the pirate ripped into her arm. Her hand went limp as the blood flow stopped, before the pirate started digging into her helmet. Sullivan screamed louder and louder, both in terror and in agony, as the pirate came closer and closer to digging into her helmet.
And then, suddenly, there was a flash of heat, and the pirate suddenly fell limp. Sullivan kept screaming, tears streaming from her face as she started to crawl back, before she noticed that the pirate had the top half of its head burnt away. Smoke rose from what remained of its skull, and she saw that its head had metal implants in it, with a few wires and motors sprawled about wildly.
She stood up, in a daze, with her arm ruined and limp. She stumbled a little as her arm dangled uselessly, and she already started feeling a bit light-headed, and as her vision slowly came into focus, she saw what happened in front of her.
In the middle of a group of pirate corpses, Samus stood up while covered in green, blue and red blood. She turned her cannon towards the remaining three, before they all ran the other way, one of them grasping at a missing left arm. Samus nodded once, before she turned to face Sullivan. And immediately, her eyes widened behind her visor. Samus ran towards her, and quickly caught her. "You're bleeding."
"No f-f-fuckin'..." Sullivan coughed a little. "...
fuck."
"You're losing blood too quickly." Samus said. Her voice didn't raise too much, but she was in a panic. "I'm going to need the cauterize the wound."
"What the fuck doessssssit-" Her vision started to turn black. "Doesn't matter..." She trailed off. "...fuck."
"You're going to lose your arm." Samus charged her plasma beam, as she yanked the woman's armor off of her arm. "This is going to hurt."
"W-what are-" Suddenly, she felt a rush of heat in her arm. Her bone, muscle and skin holding her arm to her body was vaporized, and her eyes widened in sudden surprise.
Her scream echoed throughout the forest.

"Do you have access to the cameras, yet?" The officer asked.
"Not yet, Mal. Not yet." The man murmured.
"Well, fuck. I guess if something big and nasty comes up to the door we're just boned, then." Nova shrugged.
"Well, it can't possibly be worse than it is now." The big man said.
"There's the Higgs I know." Nova laughed, before the captain just sighed.
"...Hold up." The man underneath the desk said. "I found it!" He said, before he adjusted a few more wires. "Here we go!" And with that, several monitors flickered to life as multiple cameras were put back online. Most were blackened out, destroyed by the wildlife, but some of them showed off the various sectors of the ship.
And immediately, the officer noticed a certain set of orange armor. "...is that...?"
"Hm? What?" Higgs moved forward.
And as he said that, he noticed the armored suit moving around, making sure that the person cradled on her lap was comfortable. Suddenly, her armor disappeared, and the officer's eyes widened. "...Well, I'll be damned."
Higgs blinked. "...Is that who I think it is?"
"Is what? Is what who you
what?" Nova popped up behind them."
"...It is." The officer said. "...Samus Aran."
