Fusion

Chapter 35

Dark Samus stood in a pool of phazon, watching intently as the beautiful stars lethargically passed overhead. She had been awaiting Kel's return for quite a lot longer than she expected. She knew something was wrong, however what exactly was wrong, was entirely beyond her. She gazed into the beautiful star-lit sky.
"Where are you?" she whispered.

Dark Samus closed her eyes and thought hard for a moment, slowly recreating an image of Reach in her head. She remembered once seeing a large grey building in a rather cold part of the planet. She thought hard for a moment, and then remembered seeing the words "ONI Sword base" imprinted on the walls.

Well, She thought, If there's anywhere to start searching for him, it's there. That place seeing pretty important last time I was there…

Suddenly, she began to surround herself with a strange form of space-bending energy, and in an instant, was swallowed by a cloud of phazon.

When she opened her eyes back up, she was sitting just outside the walls of the heavily fortified ONI Sword base. She stretched out with her extrasensory abilities and searched the inside of the building. Kel was nowhere to be found, at least not in the building. She felt Kel's aura coming from directly beneath the structure, 200 metres below it that is. She stared at its dull grey composition, and thought for a moment about how exactly she was supposed to get inside. She could easily blast a hole in the wall, however she didn't know what was inside, nor did she want to risk attracting any unwanted attention.

She sat there and pondered for a moment, before being distracted by a by-passing phantom drop ship accompanied by two spirit drop ships and about nine banshees. A small grin stretched across her face.

"Perfect." She whispered.
