Chapter 1: Seen From Afar
Shuzyn had left Samus resting in the bed, by now she'd fallen to sleep and he had crept away so that he could go and find himself something to eat. He scratched his side with his tail as his loincloth of chain mail rattled during his stride, he muttered something as he had walked through the pathway of the hall as it went unnoticed that a visor was watching him from the corner. He gave a light sigh as his tail whipped along the ground behind as he had began to put credits in the machine, a silhouette had drawn closer to him, eyes watching him through the scan visor and moving closer. He had given off a light growl and uttered something in his hybridized language; like a curse or some form of profanity, he had felt a sudden something then that had made him stop moving. His sixth sense had finally quirked and sent the shock up his spine which seemed to be what he needed to turn around at the first time, to his eyes they had widened as to what he'd seen before him, "S-Samus..? How'd you...get your power suit back so quick? What are you doing up, you're still hurt aren't you?"
He had given off a faint sound; something of surprise as he felt her push him to the wall, he felt the cold fingers of the power suit stroking him along his face. "What are you...doing? You seem different-!" He caught sight of the empty eyes in the power suit, it was Samus but then nothing that he knew. He growled and had pushed the hand from his face, he could feel the clone's cold fingers drawing along his side softly. He threw a punch at the SA-X, it was nimbly avoided as she had drawn back but still kept looking at him. "What do you want! Why are you here? Answer me now clone!" his voice came in a roar that echoed the halls, the sound had faded from the sound-proofed halls and the clone once more started towards him. This time Shuzyn's claws had bared and he glared at her, her movements were slow and passive in look of her cold face which still lacked emotion. She watched him as his wings had spread out angrily as she took it in, the SA-X was scanning the male before her and watching his every move; her intentions weren't clear to him but to her they were.
Shu's anger had shot through the roof as he watched the clone scanning him; he knew she was doing something as she headed towards him and that's when he decided, no more games it was time to put this clone down before Samus had to waste time with it later. He launched himself towards the SA-X with his body angled for her; his body soon trailing in after images of the hyper set pace, his claw rose and had slashed at the clone's body though to his surprise hit nothing but air.
"M-ate." was the first word he'd heard from the clone, he could feel both of her arms wrapping around his from behind during her maneuver out of his way; metallic hands curling his arms down and causing him to grunt at the sheer strength of the SA-X against his own. "You'd better not have said what I just heard you say creature, you are not my mate I am Suaen to my Beloved Samus." the SA-X had simply blinked at him before forcing him to turn and shoving him to the wall, the clone's business wasn't certain though she had resumed stroking his scales gently with his fingertips as he had readied himself for another of his many attacks. As her hand had come up to stroke his cheek once more, he had opened his mouth and at the back of his throat the glacial and graviton energy had built up quickly while the clone caught notice of it within a moment.
There had been no time to act for the SA-X, it's visor was fully engulfed with the blast; the entire upper half of the power suit had been engulfed and shot straight into the wall across the hall from Shuzyn. "I hadn't wanted...that." he said lowly to himself, looking to the clone with a confused look in his eyes. He hated the fact that he felt confused as he knew it was a clone, and yet as it stroked his face it had eased him greatly; only Samus's touch could have done that and he knew where she was.
The SA-X rose from the blasted wall, visor still intact and held a little scorched from the point blank shot; the clone was confused by his attack on her and she rubbed the visor with one metallic finger. As the lights shot on from the hospital coming to wake at the ruckus, the clone drew back from sight and had darted down the hall way quickly. He was thinking about following but had stopped himself in half stride, he instead had turned to Samus's room and ran to it; he knew that he had to tell her just what was going on and that she wouldn't like it. In fact it was more that he was certain she'd be outraged that was why he didn't want to tell her at first.
Samus looked at Shuzyn as he had come into the room, she had given off a faint tilt of her head and frowned at Shu, she saw the marks on his neck as he had given a light strain of breath; she gave a growl as she spoke, "What happened Shu? Who did that to your neck, who could or would dare...?" her tone was simple as she had sat up, he moved to her with a light sigh and had nuzzled her shoulder lightly, "It's the SA-X, it was here..." he said as he had sat down on the bed, he knew he had much to explain to her.
