The ShadowDome
By Chief Ratchet
(A.N: This is the first crossover fic that I have done. Please go easy on me when reviewing. This is a crossover of Halo, Ratchet and Clank, Metroid and Republic Commando. I do not own the last Metroid, so please bear with me, and tell me if Samus is out of character. If you own Ratchet: Deadlocked, you will notice many similarities. Thanks, and don't forget to review!)
Chapter 1: The Captures, Pt. 1
Space. The quietest part of the galaxy, even if a battle is raging on. Only interrupted by either a faster-than-light jump, or a battle. Some consider it unforgiving, some consider it home. Suddenly, the quiet void of space is interrupted by a sudden opening of a FTL jump. Out of the tunnel come fifteen ships, red and black in colour. The logo of DreadZone is clearly visible on both sides of the ships.
Ten out of the fifteen ships are enormous. However, they are not the battleships, merely cargo ships, carrying a huge amount of deadly robots, known as Executioners in DreadZone. Each Executioner is an eight foot tall killing machine. Armed with a combat wrench capable of cutting through solid Carbonox, as well as projecting a fast energy projectile, each one is a combat veteran, with countless kills behind them. The Executioners that the cargo ships carried are fresh, having just come off the production line, currently deactivated.
In the depths of space, another void has appeared. Twenty ships slip out of the void, and start to move towards the DreadZone fleet. Power levels on the strange ships start to increase. The power increase alerts the DreadZone escorts of their company. The five destroyers peel away from the cargo ships, and accelerate towards the ships.
DreadZone destroyers always have their weapons charged at an optimum level, andthis was no exception.As soon as they were within firing range, the destroyers let out a barrage on ion cannon fire. The barrage caught the opposing fleet with their shields down. Only a few ships had their shields up, but the ion cannon fire turned a few of the ships into a miniature sun. The restof the shotswere held off by the shields.
On board the DreadZone destroyer, Vox
The robotic captain on the bridge surveyed the damage that the destroyers managed to inflict. The surprise attack had cost the opposing fleet about five ships. However, the element of surprise was gone, and the destroyers needed time to recharge their ion cannons. The enemy ships turned and charged up weapons to full power. A broadside. "All ships, break formation!" The captain ordered in a robotic monotone voice. The destroyers scattered, but three of them were destroyed when the lasers hit. That left the Vox and another destroyer. The ion cannons boomed, and two large balls of ionized energy struck a small ship, destroying it. However, his ship was the only one left.
Within seconds, the remains of the enemy fleet turned their weapons on the Vox, and blew it apart. They then proceeded to capture the ten cargo ships and their cargo. As soon as the last cargo ship was locked into a tractor beam, the twelve ships left the system, with the cargo ships following.
(A.N: This is the first chapter. the next chapter will have the captures. The capture of different heroes will be in their own chapter. So, the next chapter will have the captureof the Master Chief! Gasp! R&R please!)
