BlackXII: Houston. We have a problem.

Samus: Who's this Houston guy?

Shadow Lordl: Uh Houston is the name a city where all reports of space travel are sent to.

Link: Huh I guess both Samus and I learned something just now.

Dark Lord Link: You didn't really learn much.

*Tyson flys through the window and crashes into just about everyone except for Me, Link and Samus.*

Shadow Lordl: Wow Tyson you really need to work on your landing.

Tyson: *Anime Spirals where his eyes should be*

SHadow Lordl: Huh Knocked out... wonder if the others are... *sees everyone with anime spirals where their eyes should be* well guess that answers that. So Link Samus... looks like we are the only ones here for this. Care to do the disclaimers?

Link and Samus: Shadow Lordl does not own anything of the Metroid and Zelda franchise those belong to Nintendo respectively.

Shadow Lordl: Alright now I can get to the chapter.


*Link's POV*

As Samus and I were making our way out of the corrupted Hyrule Castle I noticed that her right hand flashed a gold color.

Wondering why I noticed that the symbol on the back was the triorce and the top one was lit up glowing in two parts.

It must be fragmented some how.

A slight fear began to rise with in me and I did not like it at all.

Moments later we found ourselves facing a black sky with red clouds.

I did not like the way the clouds looked and I was wondering if Samus had picked up on it any at all.

Looking in her direction I noticed that she was just looking at the sky casually as if nothing were wrong.

Things like this must be typical routine for her.

I shook my head and was about to start walking when Samus stuck her arm out and stopped me.

Curious I looked at her when suddenly the ground began to shake violently.

What's going on here?

I reached out to grab Samus' arm so that I could keep my balance a little better when suddenly the ground began to crumble in front of us.

*Samus' POV*

Link was staring at the hole as if it were by some horrifying incident that it would end up devouring the whole land.

I looked at the hole in the ground and noticed the glowing blue of Phazon.

Too much glow for a small amount which means...

"Dark Samus." I said aloud just as a creature rose above the ground from the hole.

The creature looked to be a horrifying combination of several creatures that I had faced in the past.

Emporer Ing, Ganondorf, Dark Samus, Ridley, Thardus, and several others...

"Link... We may be in for one massive battle here. You ready for a true warriors test?" I said only to see Link nod his head.

Grinning I had known that he would help out.

I powered up the Twilight Beam and was aiming at the creature when suddenly the creature roared in pain for some reason.

I looked around and saw that Link had fired off a Plasma Arrow right at the creatures exposed arm.

Thinking I began to realize that I would have to deal some heavy damage to the thing.

Drawing the Sword Of Power and my Paralyzer I suddenly had the feeling that I was about to be hit from behind.

Turning I saw a vast tentacle slam into my chest sending me rolling to the ground.

I looked up and saw the same happen to Link only he was knocked into the air and was being knocked around like one of the Galactic Federations Gun range training drones.

And those got knocked around a lot.

Getting to my feet I noticed that the sword and my Paralyzer were both a good distance away from where I was standing.

Heh... Oh well... Guess I have to use good old skill to beat this thing.

I looked at the two bracelets on my arms and nodded before saying, "Good old skill."

I held my arm out aiming for the same spot Link had hit earlier and released a massive amount of Twilight Energy.

The energy connected and exploded causing the creature to stop knocking Link around in the air and turn it's attention towards me.

"That's right tiny come to me..." I said as I powered up another mass amount of Twilight Energy, which I had lovingly called Twilight Missile.

A moment later the Creature was hovering over me and was about to clamp it's jaws around me but I released the energy that I had built up into the creatures mouth.

The creature released a savage roar and lashed out with it's claws and tentacles.

I found myself on the ground again and seemed to be hearing the sound of what would have been my Suit's Low Energy alarm ringing in my ears.

I got to my feet and looked towards Link and scanned him and horrifyingly noticed that his health was dangerously low as well.

Ok some how we have got to get out of here and not get hurt again or else that's the end of us... and this planet.

I got to my feet and began running towards Link's body.

A tentacle flew towards me and I jumped over it and rolled under another one.

A few minutes of dodging tentacles I was having to dodge Claws and fangs as well as spikes in the ground.

While trying to reach Link's body I kept firing off Twilight Missiles at the creatures face and body.

With in an instant what i had expected to happen happened.

I jumped, rolled, dodged, blocked, and countered several attacks that would have certainly killed me.

Jumping and rolling under the last of the Destructive attack I reached Link's out cold body and noticed that the Sword of Power and my Paralyzer were close by.

They must have gotten knocked over here by the creature.

I grabbed both the sword and the Paralyzer as well as Link's Weapons.

Getting to my feet with Link hanging from my left shoulder was rather difficult but I had managed it.

I looked at the creature one more time before saying something that I knew would not seem like me at all.

"Next time we meet. It will be you who runs and I who hunts." After saying that Twilight Particles swirled around Link and me.

*Zelda's POV*

The systems that identified Link and Samus' health were both flashing red and a slight alarm was going off on both of them.

OH this can't be good... Come on Samus be safe... Link you better be alive.

I was worrying more than I had ever done now than any other time.

It was during this time that I saw a swirl of black square particles appear and a woman with Red and Blond stripped hair appear with someone wearing forest green armor.

Who...

"Zelda have you got any potions around here?" the woman with the red and blond stripped hair said.

I recognized the voice and said "Yes, Samus, there should be a few near Raith."

I watched as Samus carried the armored person over to where Raith was sitting and laid them on the ground and began going through the several Supply boxes.

A minute later she seemed to have found what she was looking for.

I was not paying attention to what she was doing I was paying attention to one of the screens that had a full report of the planet on it.

What could this mean.

^Planet scan: Planet is corrupted with 25% Phazon... A Phazon beast is making it's way to Hyrule Castle from the outer depths of space. Dark Samus is now stronger and much more powerful than Samus at this current time. All other evil creatures cower in fear of this greater evil and hide with in their make shift fortresses and caves. The four Guardian spirits have fled their original location and are now located around the Temple of Time.

Safe Area's: Temple of Time.

Dangerous Areas: most everywhere.

Danger level: stage ten code red...

Destroy target at all cost.^

I looked over the planetary report and was wondering what was going on.

Hearing a slight sound behind me I turned and saw that Samus was standing there with a distressed look on her Twili colored face.

"This is not good... a Stage ten, Code Red danger level... and destroy target at all cost... Really not good... Something that dangerous and powerful would be able to destroy a planet with in seconds." She said in mix of horror, disbelief, and intrigue.

Looking to where the armored person was laying and noticed that it was Link laying on the ground with quite a few bruises and injuries.

I hope he heals soon.

A moment later Samus shook her head after running some kind of program on the computers.

"Not good at all..." she said in defeat.

I placed my right hand on her shoulder in sympathy.

"Why do you say not good?" I asked Samus.

I then looked at the computer screen and saw that she was running a scenario program.

Each time the scenario changed it would usually show her and Link both being killed by a horrifying creature.

I shivered at the sight of the creature before the scenario changed again and showed Samus and Link defeating the creature but only by a hair.

The scenario program kept running and displaying countless scenario's that kept ending with Samus and Link's deaths.

I looked at the now discouraged Bounty Hunter and saw that she was afraid for some reason.

That's not like Samus at all. She's usually confident and more composed than most people I know.

I did not realize it but I was more worried about Samus than I was anyone else.

*Samus' POV*

Zelda was worrying about me more than anyone else and I could tell.

I knew why she was worrying, Because of the battle scenario program that I had running kept showing me and Link dying in the battle.

I was discouraged and felt defeated when suddenly a voice echoed in my mind.

"So the great Bounty Hunter Samus Aran has been defeated once and for all... Hah I should have known. You are WEAK now... You are no longer powerful... instead you cower in fear of death and despair how pitiful."

I was suddenly enraged but it subsided with in an instant.

What's wrong with me... Usually when I face such odds as this I still keep going and I keep fighting. Why do I feel so... Vulnerable... right now?"

That question was rushing through my mind for the longest time and I lost track of time for who knows how long.

Looking around the camp site I noticed that the place was not quite crowded but clustered with a lot of people.

Most of them were citizens of Castle Town and soldiers the others were fleeing villagers who ran from their destroyed homes.

And yet I can't do anything about it.

I shook my head in despair again and muttered.

"Some Bounty Hunter I am."

I felt someone lay their hand on my should and I looked behind me and noticed Link standing behind me.

He suddenly seemed to be a bit taller and stronger all of a sudden.

I did not know what was going on but the next thing I knew I was asleep and at peace.
