Chapter 8: The Final Effort
Rime had been walking for about an hour in one direction and then she arrived at small hole in the wall. She quickly transformed herself into a small ball of ice and then headed into the hole. When she got to the other side of the hole, she created a small ice platform and guided herself upward. Once she reached the top, she headed toward the ship but then she noticed another. "NO, someone else is here. This wasn't what was supposed to happen." Rime turned and saw a giant hole in the door. "Something else is here and I don't think it's human." Rime said as she walked over to the door and noticed a green liquid on the door. Rime created a small ball the size of a pebble in her hand and then place it on the green stuff. The ice pebble instantly melted away. "Acid but there are claw marks on the door. How is this possible?" Rime asked and then looked to the inside of the room behind the door and found dead bodies everywhere. "What happened?" Rime backed away from the door and then turned around just to get knocked over by something that flew by her head. Rime got up off the floor and noticed the thing sticking something into the bodies on the floor. Soon the bodies grew arms and legs and stood up. Rime quickly tried to fire at the thing bringing the bodies back to life but it had already brought more back which blocked her path to the creature.
"Get her." An enhanced slasher said as the group made their way toward Rime.
Rime fired off as much as she could to kill off as many as possible with ice shards. However by the time she killed one, too many had gotten to close and so she switched to her force gun that she had acquired awhile earlier. She pushed three backward and then used two secondary fire shots creating an explosive ball of ice. She added the ice herself after letting the mine go. Rime backed up and covered herself and then one mine blew killing off half of them and then the other blew killing off the other half plus the thing bringing them back to life.
Health at fifty percent.
Rime got back to the ship and then healed inside. "I hate using that secondary fire." Rime said and then relaxed physically, not mentally as she is worried for Samus who may or may not still be alive. "Computer, is the ship functional?"
Ship is eighty five percent repaired.
"Great, so I couldn't leave if I had to." Samus, if you're ok, please get back here."
Samus had just arrived at the place that she needed to be. She opened her map and then looked to see where she needed to go. After Samus figured it out, she headed forward and then went down two sets of stairs and then down an elevator. The doors opened and she made her way into the small room. She noticed some smashed controls. Samus turned on her scanner and scanned the controls.
Controls are destroyed, unable to control the ships direction.
"Crap, I guess I had better take out as many as possible." Samus headed back up the elevator and up the stairs to find a horde of necromorphs waiting for her. "This isn't what I meant." Samus then switched to her pulse rifle and started firing keeping as many back as possible. Then she noticed a brute charging through the crowed knocking some over and she slowed him and some others down. Samus then started to fire again and then all of a sudden her gun stopped firing.
Caution: gun overheated
"Great, not a good time." Samus said and then jumped out of the way of the brute that was finally released from the stasis. She looked at her gun and then saw it functional again but decided to try something else. Samus knelt down and raised the gun above her head and used the turret gun. After Samus was clear enough, she stopped but felt very weak.
Warning: Using secondary fire will weaken you the more you use it.
Health at two hundred and fifty percent.
Samus backed up seeing smoke from her gun and then got hit hard. Samus stood up and then got grabbed by the same thing that had grabbed Rime. Samus scanned it quickly and then fired at its weak point. The thing died and then Samus got up and scanned something carrying a big yellow bulge of something. Once she figured out what it is, she shot the yellow blob and it blew up some necromorphs as well as itself. Then from behind her a yellow blob blew up throwing Samus forward into a charging Brute. Samus landed next to railing next to an edge. "I'm dead." Samus then used the guns secondary fire and knocked back as many as possible for three seconds and then froze as many as possible.
Health at five percent
Soon everything started going blurry. Samus knew she would die from this and could only hope that Rime made it away. She coughed up a little blood and then rested her head backward onto the railing as her whole body is now on the ground. She noticed the stasis wear off and soon the necromorphs were free to attack her again. A slasher now stands above her with its bladed arms above its head ready to strike Samus down. Just as it was coming down something quick rammed into it knocking it away. Samus had a small amount of time to scan whatever it is.
Zombie Hybrid: Threat level extremely high. Her claws are filled with acid and.
Before Samus could finish reading what she wanted, she blacked out.
The End
A/N: So this is a weird place to end the story I know but in the sequel, you'll see. I hope you enjoyed the story. I would say more but I don't want to give too much away about the sequel. I will say that this isn't where the sequel will start however.
