Chapter 3: "Kraid Strikes"
Samus Aran stepped out of the elevator, deep within Brinstar. Samus noted
that rather then leave the natural cave walls, they had built metal corridors
over them. He then noted that he was on the top of another long vertical shaft.
Samus worked his way across the hideout. Out of the main vertical shaft, to
the bottom of a second vertical shift, then through several more rooms.
Just as Samus was considering taking a breather when he finally confronted Kraid.
The green monster was about Samus's size, and had three spikes protruding from its
chest. The three spikes popped out of Kraid's stomach and flew towards Samus.
Samus simply leaped over the spikes and fired a missile at Kraid. It exploded. Samus
considered, "That was easy - too easy." Samus entered the next room. This room resembled
a giant monster face. Samus held his composure as he crossed a bridge suspended over
lava and took out any enemies that got in his way.
The next room was a dead end. Just another bridge suspended over lava. He was about
to leave when he heard a loud roaring. He turned to see a giant reptilian monster emerge.
Only the upper half of its body could be seen, as the lower half was concealed within the
extremely deep lava. It had three red eyes and sharp fangs. Its entire body was covered
in green scales except its yellow underbelly. Like the Fake Kraid Samus encountered earlier,
it had three spikes protruding from its chest. This was definately the Real Kraid. It could
have eaten the Fake Kraid as easily as a human could eat an M&M Mini.
Samus attempted to speak to the beast. "Tell me, monster - where is the Mother Brain?"
Kraid simply roared and fired the three spikes from its chest at Samus. "Same trick as the
imposter, eh? This should be easy." Samus leaped over the three spikes and was about to fire
his missile when Kraid fired a giant boomerang projectile that caught Samus full in the stomach.
He dropped to his knees, slightly winded from Kraid's attack.
"This might be a bit harder then I expected." Samus watched as the three spikes collided
into the wall and exploded. Immediately, three new spikes sprouted from Kraid's chest.
"Hmm....the spikes regenerate only after the previous are destroyed. That gives me an idea."
Kraid fired the spikes again. Samus launched his Ice Beam, and the three spikes became frozen
popsicles. "As long as they're frozen, he won't be able to regrow new ones." Samus said as he
avoided Kraid's boomerang and bombarded the beast with Missiles. The beast's cries of pain echoed
throughout the enormous chamber. Samus focused on Kraid, so he didn't notice as the spikes
defrosted and fell into the lavas. Amus was caught off guard as Kraid launched a fresh round of
spikes. Samus moved out of the way, but one of the giant spikes slashed his side, exposing the
Power Suit circuitry.
Samus quickly recovered in time to dodge the boomerang and angrily let off a ferocious barrage
of Missiles. Kraid's body parts began to explode as it sunk into the deep lava. It was over. Suddenly,
Kraid rose from the pit, on fire and seriously miffed. It reached for Samus, then froze and collapsed.
Samus then braced himself as Kraid exploded and splashed lava all over the room. The explosion opened
a new passage. Samus followed it to another vertical shaft. Samus somehow survived the long climb to
the top and took the elevator back to Brinstar regular.
Samus then returned to the ship and recharged his health and stocked up on Missiles. He then
addressed Adam over the comlink, "Adam - Kraid is dead. I got nothing out of him."
Adam replied, "Okay, lady. You'll have to search Ridley then." Anger boiled within Samus and his fists
clenched at the mere mention of that heartless monster. Adam took no notice, as the comlink had only
audio features. "His base is hidden deep within Norfair, the Fire Zone. As with Ridley, I have no idea
where the base is hidden. But, I do know the way to Norfair. The elevator is at the bottom of that shaft
where you discovered the Ice Beam." The location glowed on the map screen. "Any objections, Lady?"
Samus spoke, "No. Ridley will die."
"Good. Adam out."
Soon, Samus was at the bottom of the shaft where he discovered the Ice Beam. It felt odd only it was only
about half an hour ago when he was here last. But, Samus thought of other things as he entered the elevator.
Samus had not only excepted this mission for the money, but also for revenge,
And so, Samus has defeated Kraid. Now, he is descending into Norfair. What mysterious power-ups will he
find there? And can he defeat the evil Ridley, who he has a bone to pick with for unknown reasons? Find
out in Chapter 3: "It's Not Fair in Nofair"
