So I'm not doing the disclaimer thing because it takes forever and it's way too formal for my liking.

Chapter 2: Corrin's Unlikely Partner

Corrin (female) was busy walking through the halls of Smash Manor. Apparently, it's been a couple of hours since Luigi was sent to check out the pipe system, and a bit less time when she last saw Samus. That, however, does not hold true for the bounty hunter's counterpart.

She saw Dark Samus...all over the place. She was worried that the Phazon Clone was plotting something sinister, but she saw more... clumsiness in Dark's movements. Despite being able to float indefinitely, she saw her tripping a few times, bumping into things, and even what appeared to be falling asleep before quickly getring back up.

Corrin, the noble warrior she is, decided to give Dark Samus a chance to explain herself. If she could anyway, she never really saw Dark communicate.

She walked over to Dark Samus' room, which she shared with Ridley. The two were actually good friends, for reasons pretty obvious. She knocked on it first.

"Hello? Dark Samus? Are you in here?"

She heard a screech-ish, commanding voice telling her to come in. As she did, she noticed several pieces of paper on the floor. Ridley was playing a game on his 2DS XL (how he could with those claws, I have no idea).

"O-oh, hello Ridley. Have you seen your roommate?"

"Kind of. She's been worried about something recently."

"About what, if I may ask?"

"Why do you wanna know?"

"It's been...on my mind, I guess."

"Weird reason, but okay. It's about something that happened a few decades ago. Like, the 1980's or something. She's in the kitchen right now, taking her break. Her first break."

"Thank you, Ridley."

"No problem. FINALLY, THAT STUPID DARK SUN IS DEAD!"

Ridley roared in triumph. Corrin awkwardly clapped and left for the kitchen.

She saw Dark Samus absorbing some phazon. Her blue highlights looked a bit more greyish blue.

"Hello Dark Samus. I believe you are having trouble with something?"

Dark looked at her. She tried aiming at her with her arm gun, but she was too tired. She flopped on the table. Corrin felt something tug at her mind. A voice.

"It's not of your concern, dragon."

"Wh-wha?! Who's there?!"

Dark Samus points at herself.

"It's telepathy. Calm down. If you really want to know what's wrong, then you will follow me on something very dangerous indeed."

Dark Samus gets up and starts floating away. Corrin decides to follow her. She feels a little compelled to stop whatever dangers worries anyone. Especially Dark Samus of all people.

She was led to a room in the basement. It was very dark, only neon blue lighting illuminating the room. Papers, test tubes, and a small egg like object covered the floor, tables, and a few of the tubes were broken.

"This belongs to Ridley and I. We renovated it after the whole World of Light incident. This is where I discovered something...bad."

She booted up a large computer. She logged in as DarkJenny.

"Why...?"

"It's a reference to something you won't understand. That goes for the reader as well."

"The who?"

"Do not fret about it."

After going through a few files, it reads off the end report all the way back from Metroid.

"'May be invaded by the other...Metroid?'"

"Correct."

She then brought up a radar. A large energy signal was approaching them.

"I-is that...?"

"Yes, it is. And it's coming right for the Manor."

Sorry this took so long, I kinda...was playing too much Fire Emblem Three Houses and taking care of my baby sister. But, the other Metroid is coming (you'll know what I mean if you saw SomeCallMeJohnny's review on the first game), and it's rapidly approaching the Manor.Laters!
