Here's the last chapter of Dreams of the Dark.
Just a warning: it will be a little short.
Dark Samus breathed in deep relief as she walked to her ship.
She really had to stop thinking of herself as Dark Samus. That was no longer her name.
Her name was now her former alias: Sarah.
Samus had already contacted the Federation about Jonathan's story as well as Dark Samus' (no, Sarah's) false story of being an amnesiac who had apparently been mutated and combined with phazon and metroid DNA.
Samus would stay with the hunters while Jon and….Sarah registered as bounty hunters.
Sarah turned toward the sound of heavy footfalls behind her. Jon was walking back toward the elevator.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"I forgot my ship is down in the hangar."
"You have a ship?"
Jon turned and gave her an odd look. "Of course. How do ya think I got here? Luckily, I was able to upgrade it soon after I came here. So it'll work as a hunter's gunship."
Sarah nodded and turned back to her ship. But before she entered the platform underneath it, she took a moment to think of all that had passed.
After going for so long fearing and fighting Samus, they had become allies. Yet still, there was something she wanted. She felt like it was connected to Jonathan somehow. But how?
Sarah shook her head. She had time to figure it out. After all, Samus had already been contacted with another contract opportunity. It had something to do with Aether. She had been told that two spots were open for partners to be included in the contract. Since the other three hunters were still recuperating, Samus had chosen Jon and Sarah to fill the spots.
Sarah entered her ship and took off, heading for orbit. Once there, the four projections jolted outward slightly in preparation for space flight.
She input the coordinates for Norion. Outside, the projections closed in like the claws of a praying mantis. The engines flashed green and the ship appeared to stretch enormously and snap together as it made the jump.
The nightmares of Dark Samus had ended. Now, the dreams of Sarah were all that was left.
The dreams of the Dark.
Yo, hope ya liked the story.
Stay tuned for the sequel.
