Chapter 3: Clone Hunter or Clone Hunted?

As the ship arrived at Tallon III, Samus was already suited up and ready for the impending conflict that was ahead, she'd left Shuzyn asleep and utterly exhausted and this left her on a positive note; though her eyes glared into the beaming sunlight as the ship had begun its descent into the planet's atmosphere. Samus's mind seemed to be pretty steady on the thoughts ahead of her, just what she was doing here and how the clone would pay; would pay for looking at "her suaen, HER Mate!" The words echoed in her mind with fortification on the thought. Samus's eyes gave off a shot of determination of presence in itself, "It's time to pay clone, playtime's over." The words passing through her lips as the ship opened up at the base.

Samus leapt out of the top of her ship and had effortlessly somersaulted a few times before landing from the ends of her ship on the landscape of Tallon III, she glanced around the panorama and viewed on with her visor; taking in some of the local scans before she took off into the densely populated woods. Unknown to Samus was the fact that two eyes glowed through a visor of its own, watching her as she moved into the woods before its gaze moved from the woods towards the ship.

The SA-X looked at the familiar shape in her mind and had moved from the cover in the wooded area and made her way towards the ship; in her mind now it was her ship. Things had been flooding her mind as of late, names and places as well as possessions including her ship; this also including the hybrid raptor dragon within its domain of protection. It was time to take back what was hers, she decided this well while leaping up onto the ship and moving down into its depths; it scanned her DNA as a precaution before allowing her in "Welcome Back Samus." The voice of her long passed friend and CO, Adam Malkovitch sounded as she paid it no mind. She made her way towards the bedroom, her bedroom.

She gave off a faint snort and moved her hands to the mimicked helmet of the Power suit, she removed it and her pale platinum blond tresses fell down across her face and down her back. She was the spitting image of the powerful huntress herself, though her hair had been paler and eyes still lacking much emotion; it wasn't empty but looked confused. A soft smile passed over her face now, her eyes settling on the sleeping Shuzyn who was splayed out on the bed; his chest and stomach in the open and his face off to the side. The SA-X had to admit he was gorgeous from the sight and she was getting excited now, she figured her false trail would give her time with "her" mate now.

She dimmed the lights in the room again and the armor faded into her form, unlike Samus the armor was a second skin and could be reformed at anytime; she was on levels different and even better at some. The SA-X slipped into the bed and purred softly as she slipped beneath the sheets and curled against the heavily sleeping raptor dragon.

In the forest Samus had been following the faint trail that she had found in the woods, her pace was incredible and seemed to be nothing short of flawless as she leapt up each tree with ease; her body moving into a sharp arc as she avoided a few branches and landed in the open of the field, scanning around with her visor she gave a faint look around and had felt something amiss, "This is a little too easy, even with that trail… it's almost like she wanted me to find it." Samus had stepped back and shot around quickly aiming her arm cannon towards the rustling bushes; the rustling grew worse as the sounds of more showed up. "A trap…" her mind echoed her body's feelings that were obviously correct.

Samus caught signs of a blur and sidestepped it quickly before she realized what was happening, her arm cannon came down in a diagonally arced motion and had slammed down into the head of the humanoid creature; a sickening crack sounding from its skull as the hunter leapt into the air. The rustling had finally come to an end and Samus frowned at the sight beneath her on the ground, her visor took in what appeared to be hundreds of pygmy Space Pirates with weapons alike; just what the hell was this anyway? She knew she was in for a battle once landing on a branch.

Awakening some odd hours later in the dark room, Shuzyn had noticed the resting lump against him; his infrared vision letting him see Samus's body curled against him, he gave a light smile and stroked her back with a claw while his wings stretched out. He could hear a light purr rising from her as she crawled onto his stomach and sat back; feeling her rest against him with her hands on his chest and soft scratching that made him purr in turn.

"So soon again Samus? I've only just awakened and you were so strong before." He made it nothing short of a good laugh, she'd utterly ravaged him and left him exhausted and shocked even at her prowess. He wasn't answered verbally, only with more clawing and a firm press of her hips into his; it was enough to make him grunt even more as now as she started to grind him. It was a very sensuous moment and these actions only further his arousal, though something was very odd about the moment that he could feel; though it was mildly out of place and he couldn't put his finger on it. He could sense that the stranger, though he couldn't see to confirm his feeling and even his mind's whisper, "What if…?" it made him doubt now and had him sit up against her. He decided it best to test this…he hoped to god it wasn't what he thought.

"Samus are you okay..? You're not speaking is something wrong?" he got a soft kiss on the cheek, and then his chin, and finally a deep needful pressed kiss against his lips and hands moved to his shoulders to push him down against the bed. He gave a light growl and tried to sit up now, wings flaring to give him a push to rise; though he found only a firmer push down with incredible strength even for Samus. "Get off of me Samus, I am not in the mood for this game." His voice stated firmly, he was giving off a deeper growl now and didn't seem to be playing anymore. No movement but an intended grind, one that was painful to him as her hips moved down onto him, the next thing had brought shock and ice to his spine.

"N-Need you…want you…take you." The words were formed roughly, and he knew who was upon now; he prepared to blast her but now was headed off by the action, she kissed him deeply and hard now as she pinned him. His body summoned every ounce of his strength as he threw her off of him with another strong flap of his wings. He was back to his feet and flinched as he landed on his feet, his hips were aching and he was still partly aroused; he was just glad that it didn't get any farther than it had. He watched with his vision as the clone's body had 'grown' the armor back onto it, he could hear the clone speaking again as she came closer to him, "Will have you." The voice said with some determination, he heard the emotions there since they were both annoyance and anger, something he shared at the moment with the SA-X.

"Stubborn mate, make you!" the SA-X launched herself at him and had attempted to pin him to the wall, he parried the move with a sidestep and a powerful back fist to the middle of the SA-X's armored back; it was enough to send her into the wall and crack it deeply. He darted for the exit and had left the room, he could feel the SA-X right on his heel and gaining more speed now; he was out of his element and further weighed down by his wings. He made it to the elevation lift and had stood on it, though he ended up flat to the lift's wall with a grunt, he could feel the cold hands of the metallic armor; it was the SA-X that yanked him around and pinned him to the wall.

His claw curled into a fist and slammed into the back of the SA-X making her back arch, but she growled and forced him into a fierce kiss while using her hand to grab his wrist and pin that hand to the wall. Shu continued his struggle even as the lift was raising them up towards the surface, he felt two things that made him smile mentally; one was falling backwards and two was his wings spreading to catch the wind beneath him while he'd used his feet and kicked hard off of the SA-X. He took to the air and had spread his wings quickly, turning and firing a Gravity beam at her from his mouth; a move that the SA-X easily avoided while landing back on the ground. He moved up higher and swept around with a snarl, instincts of rage burning inside of veins as he set his eyes on his target. "My Turn." Was all he said to the SA-X before diving down at the SA-X.



From his mouth this time, a glacial blast that once more narrowly missed its target and froze the ground where she once stood, Shu spiraled to the side and evaded the SA-X's tackle while he gained more height. He turned in the air and had thrust his hand towards the clone, a graviton burst hitting the clone and sending her back to the ground. He launched himself for the falling clone in a deep swoop, hoping to catch her while she fell with a violent tackle.

The SA-X was waiting for him and had continued to fall while he dived, her body shifting as his fist thrust into the ground where she would have been; she had twisted until her foot planted in the back of his spine and kicked him down into the ground with his own momentum. Shu's body shuddered from the fierce blow as the ground beneath him crumbled under the force of his speed and his weight, a crossed raptor dragon shriek rising from his lips as his body had drifted down into the crater.

The SA-X merely flipping a few times before landing and turning to face him, "Humph, stupid mate…now take hard." She growled at him, how he dared attack her! Who did he think he was? She'd show him who was the dominant in their venture; they were mates and that was all.

As she kicked him over and had kneeled over him, she stroked his face with her fingertips until he drew back and she gave off a growl and grabbed his chin and leaned down to kiss him. Before their lips came into contact with each other, a missile had stricken the side of the clone and sent her rolling over onto her side and back to her knee. She scowled as she saw the real Samus in a tree and glaringcoldly at her double.

"You...how dare you touch my suaen!" was all she said as she darted at her, but the SA-X had already fled, she left with a high leap over Samus, taking on into the woods and disappearing. Leaving Samus to tend to her fallen mate. She moved to his side and had cupped his cheek, "Shu...my Shu..." She moved to his side and had pickedhim up in her arms. Now just taking her suaen back towards the ship, to help tend to her mate and see him getting better.
