I staggered and leaned against the wall, my palms pressed against the white marble. The unbearable ringing in my ear was practically the only thing I could focus on, and my jaw ached with a sizzling pain that I haven't felt in years. I removed one hand to wipe my mouth and glanced at the wall, only to see a blood print in place of where I left my palm.
The darkness was overwhelming and it began to move closer, rubbing the bottom of my legs and ankles. Every time it touched me, a shiver of electricity zapped through my body and all I could do was stifle a groan of agony. The smashers around me were fighting with such a level of fury that I failed to remember over the past years. After all, everything was so peaceful; there was no reason to act as vengeful as there is today.
Some of the brawlers withered in pain, and some ran head on at the blackened aurora that was MasterCore.
Ragnell was but a few yards away from where I stood, for it was wrenched out of my hand the minute I ran toward him. I couldn't get to it—the darkness was beginning to envelop me. I felt him creeping up my legs and around my waist, tearing the skin away from my cold body.
My eyes fluttered, until I noticed a blue figure sprinting down the hall. Her vivid blonde hair flew past her as she maneuvered through each puddle of darkness blocking her path that led toward the source. She snapped her head back to look in my direction, and then she halted for but a moment with a face of pure horror. Her jaw dropped open, and the agony that flashed in her eyes was so excruciating that I had to look away. I couldn't get myself to look at her, but I pushed everything I could in me to yell.
"Samus, Get out!"
I heard a cry escape her lips. At first, it sounded like pure anguish. But then, something changed. She sounded as if she were going to rip out Mastercore's throat. I looked back at her, and the fury that fueled her body was so terrifying that I had to keep watching.
I tried everything I could to get myself to move, to stand by her, but the pitch black vapor was now at my chest, and every movement, every breath felt like I was dying slowly.
I knew I was dying slowly, too.
Samus launched herself at the Core, and I felt my eyes widen. She pushed herself right at the menace; I knew that that was imminent death.
She was going to fucking kill herself if she didn't get away.
"Samus!" The yell was so numbing, I could feel blood welling up in my throat, "NO!"
With a cry, she slammed her whip into MasterCore's side. The beast wailed and staggered, giving Samus enough time to jump back. I watched in desperation as the orange Power Suit she was oh so famous for begin to morph miraculously on her body, her eyes closed and her brow furrowed in concentration.
The monster regained itself just as she did, and she ran past all of the smashers that were attempting to control that thing. As she ran, she charged her arm cannon.
However, it wasn't like in a normal match. She continued to charge her cannon, even as the metal coating began to turn red, enflamed by heat. It was obvious she was burning her skin that covered her forearm inside. Her suit was going to malfunction if she didn't stop, and I screamed and yelped the last bit that I could.
The blackness covered my mouth, and I watched as the woman I loved shot an outstanding beam of fluorescent blue energy toward the heart of MasterCore.
The beast screeched and gurgled, and I felt the blackness slowly slide off my rippled skin. I dropped to my knees and felt everything go heavy around me.
The last thing I remembered seeing was Samus's Power Suit vanquish off her body as MasterCore took whatever energy he had left in him and grabbed her. He clenched his fist; the sound of Samus's agonizing screams filled the room as he slammed her body from such a height down and into the cold, hard ground.
I wailed and called her name until I felt the blood escape my lips, until everything went black and my head hit the ground.
