The Nightmare Trilogy: I- Xtermination
Chapter One:
"Help, Adam, help!" yelled Samus.
The SAX had been chasing her for quite some time. She jumped from ledge to ledge, from room to room, but it was too fast. Samus quickly jerked around to face the ghastly look alike and shot it in the face with her freeze missile. It froze for just long enough so she could get into a room without it seeing her enter.
She kept running because she knew it could be there at any moment, and she wanted to be as far away as she could get before stopping to rest. All the way through, around, up and down sector 3 she ran. She was trying to find her way out without a map after the SAX shot her powersuit and damaged it. She knew Adam would come with some help, he had to. She finally rested in a large room and sat on a ledge by the door. It was when she sat down that the SAX destroyed the door with a missile and blew Samus off the edge.
She fell for about fifty feet before slamming into the ground with a violent stirring of the floor below her. Samus was struggling to stand when she dropped to the ground after an ear piercing shriek damaged her ear drums. She glanced up and saw what she had been scared of, a big flying beast.
"Of course, I'm getting chased by the SAX, can hardly stand up, and this is when Ridley decides to show up. Great!"
She managed to get to her feet and was already charging her beam before Ridley started firing his weapon barrage. She dodged the fire, but had a hard time blocking his tail whip. She constantly fired her missiles and beams and was relentless and vile. She had to be, or Ridley would destroy her in a heartbeat. She knew he was weakening when his skin started to turn red, but she was also losing health, and fast at that.
She was so close to killing him, just a few more shots. Samus dispelled a large shrill scream, two SAX dropped from the ceiling. She had just killed Ridley, grabbed the space jump, and fled. She didn't even have time to switch the auxiliary power back on. She flew right past it as fast as she could. All she knew was that she had to get out of that sector and back to her ship or find a red X parasite. She was at 87 health, she needed more.
As she ran she wasn't sure if she was more shocked that all of this bad stuff was happening to her today, or that there was more than one SAX. What if there were tens of them? How could she possibly survive? She did know for certain that she had to get off of SR388 fast. The X could multiply daily until there were hundreds or thousands of SAX. She had to find some way to exterminate the X. Until she even thought about that she had to get out of her predicament alive.
She reached her ship after fifteen minutes of pure hell. She had to basically sprint all the way to her ship. She quickly jumped in and recharged for fear of her enemies showing up. As she got her health back she found a mysterious package on her control panel. She scanned it for signs of hostility, but found none, and quickly ripped it open. Inside were directions to a secret data room in which she would find an upgrade to destroy the research station and all of the X inside. However, it would leave enough time for her to get to her ship and fly away before it exploded. It was basically a nuclear weapon that would work in her environment and be sure to kill all of the X. She quickly let out a sigh of relief and glee and slipped the paper into her suit, opened the hatch to her ship, and exited into the light.
