The Zero Factor...
Chapter 6 - Showdown!
Samus began to charge her cannon, knowing that she will have to take out this man she…she…did she? Yes, she was certain of it, she had something for Zero. Zero then pushed off the ground as he leapt out the window, drawing his sabre once more, a grin appearing on his face as he hit the ground, creating a small crater. Without any delay he burst from the small crater he made as he rushed Samus, almost upon her as she could hear his faint laughing, he adrenaline and emotions flooding into her brain as she shot blindly at the reploid. It hit Zero directly in his chestplate as he flew back several feet, holding his chest as the smell of burnt metal and blood filled her nose. Her eyes were clouded by the severity of the situation around her, she didn't even realize that this battle would be to the death. Zero then rushed at her once more, his chest smoking from the last blast she hit him with. He shouted at her as he sheathed the sabre, grabbing her arms as he tackled her to the ground, she yelped a bit as he knocked her back. She screamed in pain as a piece of her armour broke from the impact, lodging itself into her lower back as she shook violently to break free of the reploid's grasp. He liked to hear the pain of these humans, he had obviously gone maverick, which he was, a maverick version of the original Zero. He then threw his weight forward and tossed her into the air, She seemed to remember him doing this to one of the guards from what she saw from the ground. He then aimed his cannon at her as she turned in mid air, narrowing her eyes as she re-gained her composure and charged her own cannon, for the brief moment where she stopped going up and was about to go down he fired, She had her own cannon charged as the plamsa ball sped towards her, she yelled out as she fired her own plasma ball at his, they collided close to Samus as it burst into a ball of brilliant colors and flames. This explosion sent her further up into the air as she began to charge her cannon. Floating back down towards the ground she began to take the offensive, showing her skills as the most powerful bounty hunter in the galaxy. She grinned as she slammed her shoulder into his chest as she knocked him backwards, making him stumble as she lifted her cannon, still charging as she blasted him directly in the chestplate again, knocking him to the ground as she ran at him. She extended her leg as she slammed her foot into his side, knocking him into the air as she aimed her cannon up at him, charging it only slightly, she fired. This burst was different from her normal burst as she fired it and it let out a scatter shot, a homing shot that fired off about ten smaller blasts. The blasts homed in on him as it slammed him from all sides, creating a large explosion all around the reploid as he fell to the ground in a heap, breathing heavily.
He cursed at this under his breath as he kneeled there now, slowly sliding to his feet, panting and breathing heavily as he knew he couldn't win in this shape. He then stopped narrowing his eyes and snapped them wide open, rushing at her as he screamed "Kyaaaaa!" having his blade sheathed as he wrapped his arms around her. She struggled slightly, over-whlemed by the reploids supreme speed as he knocked her to the ground again, keeping a grip that she could not break, he began to tighten his hold as he began to squeeze harder on her armour, the armour cracking here and there as the metal shards began to puncture Samus' body. She screamed out in pain as the reploid activated his final attack, a kamikaze attack as his body glowed a dull silver for a second, exploding into a ball of brilliant silvery fire around her, knocking her back as there were cracks all over her armour now, the pain filled her body and mind as she stood up, realising this town was massacered. She couldn't save them and she unleashed a monster even though she didn't know. She shook her head lightly as she turned, barely alive she limped out of town, off to her next mission.
