*Samus' POV*

I was looking at the land scape and activated my Power Suit to check the map of the area on my visor.

So far everything looks to be in proper proportions... so far

I turned back to Link and Zelda and told them to put their Power Suits on, which they did without really hesitating.

"Alright from here on we will be learning what abilities our Respective Power Suit's have and we will learn what types of upgrades that they will gain over time... We will also learn whether or not they have special abilities... Like mine has the ability to absorb energy spheres and other items to replenish weaponry, energy, and other such equipment."

I then ran a full System diagnostic check and a few other system scans that would tell me what items I have what new abilities I got, basically the the usual systems check routine that I went through with my Power Suit.

I had Link and Zelda run a system check on their Power Suit's as well so that they could see what theirs had and were capable of.

Mine had given me a list of all my upgrades and new found abilities.

It also told me what my current status was.

^Twilit Samus Aran: Famed Bounty Hunter of the Galactic Federation. Having been infused with the spirit of the Twilight Princess, Midna, she has grown stronger and much more powerful with her new found Twilight abilities.^

Well nice to know that my suit still recognizes my DNA code.

I looked through the list of upgrades first to see what all I had now.

I noticed that several of them I recognized and others were quite new and were most likely to be very powerful.

Now this is going to be really fun and interesting.

I looked around the terrain and saw a metal fortress up ahead, to the right hidden amongst a forest was a cave, and to the left was something like an ordinary castle.

So we got a trial to test our new abilities. Just what I needed.

I started towards the metal fortress ahead just seconds before I noticed that Link was heading for the cave within the forest while Zelda had already started for the castle.

"YOUR TEST IS TO OBTAIN THREE ITEMS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE TRIFORCE. The fire of POWER lies with in the fortress. The water's of wisdom reside within the castle. The Stone of Courage rests with in the forest cave." three voices spoke in unison "Bring all three to us and we shall grant you an ULTIMATE ability."

Suddenly a map of the area appeared on the visor of my helmet and I saw a single area flash for a moment.

I nodded as I memorized the location of the area and I began heading for the Metal fortress again.

*Few hours later*

I had reached the entrance to the Metal Fortress only to shoot a Power Door open and go down an elevator into the depths of some unusual caverns.

Alright now THIS is more my style.

With a grin I began running through the mechanics of the Arm Cannon till the elevator stopped.

I got off the elevator only for it to shut down.

Huh ... great just what I needed an elevator to shut down and stop working on me... oh well guess that is so I won't think of turning back I guess...

I continued on into the first room of the place and was faced with the familiar looks of the Chozo Ruins from Planet Zebes and from Tallon IV.

"How... How did these get here... Zebes was destroyed... Tallon IV not really destroyed but turned to a wasteland due to Phazon."

What's going on here. I began to wonder

Continuing on through the caverns I began to enter into an ultra heated chamber.

Well this brings back memories. May as well see what I can do as far as unintentional destruction goes.

I jumped up to a ledge and jumped across a lava flow and made my way to the other side of the room where I shot the door and entered thee next area.

In the next room I took a few steps when four jets of flames shot out from both ceiling and walls.

Jumping back I waited for the flames to die down before making my way into the main part of the next chamber.

Looking around I noticed a Grapple spot on the far wall along with five or six others.

Just as I jumped to the center platform something hit me in the side and knocked me to the ground.

I got up, turned to see what attacked me and saw that it was a fire serpent.

Just like the ones in Magmoor caverns on Tallon IV.

I fired at the creatures head and killed it with five missiles.

In the next chamber I was greeted with the most dreaded of puzzles.

In the center of this room were twelve statues.

The first one looked like some twisted version of Kraid.

The next was a distorted rendition of Phantoon and Chykka.

The third looked to be something strange.

Looking at the statues I suddenly felt light headed when suddenly I recognized all of the creatures that were depicted as statues in the room.

"Meta Kraidus, Fear Gazer, Gandragoon..." I began naming them off and was overwhelmed by the shear knowledge that I had just gotten.

The only one that remained the same was in the center of the entire group of statues.

"RIDLEY." I said with acid. "I have to deal with some version of that bastard."

One of these days I will exact my revenge on the entire Space Pirate race for destroying my home world and killing my parents.

I turned to leave the room when suddenly the Meta Kraidus statue began to shake and fragments of it began to fall off.

"Oh great... just great... A boss chain... Fun!" I said sarcastically

I raised my arm cannon to fire at the creature that was breaking free of the stone that encased it.


Dark Lord Link: Hey Shadow what kept you so long in writing this?

Black XII: Yeah what kept ya?

Samus: I've been waiting for you to get back just so I can hug you for having me and Link married :).

*Samus hugs me and nearly breaks my ribs in the process then Link joins in and I collapse to the ground.*

Shadow Lordl: *Getting back up and catching his breath* Well what took me so long is a bad case of Epic game and writers block.

Link: Oh so that's what happened.

Phazos: Ugh I'm bored when are you going to send those three weakling to me so I can kill them.

Shadow Lordl: Not yet... they have to go through this whole trial thing before they start coming after you.

Zelda: It's good to see you back Shadow... I would like to state one thing though. The Triforce of Wisdom only grants me Great wisdom not intelligence. Even I had to study several books just to learn all that I know now.

Link: O_O.

Samus: ...

Everyone else: O_O ... O_O ... O_O ... X_X ... X_X

Shadow Lordl: *holding a blood red axe.* What... They really weren't surprised by the knowledge that Zelda stated so i made them be surprised... and well they're not dead ... just... uh ... out cold that's it... they're out cold at the moment... they'll be fine in two hours... *Low toned voice* I hope.

Anyways Review if you would please...
