Chapter Four: Link vs. Samus, The Shot
Mario came in through the door, but DK didn't. What happened to him? Pikachu was watching the doors carefully. He didn't sense that DK was in the dark room. The double doors closed behind Mario, but that didn't stop Pikachu from trying to sense where Donkey Kong was. Where was he?
Samus was watching Link from the other side of the room. She had just been told that Link and her were going to fight, next. She stopped watching Fox to watch the Hyrulian. He did the same to her. They never caught each other's eye, but they knew the other was watching. Samus has had that feeling for a long time. Ever since the dreams of the others. She had the feeling when the Purple guys had captured her. Fighting them was the job of Link.
Mario came in with the look of victory. DK was nowhere to be seen. Samus looked at the doors, but only saw two Purple men standing guard and the yellow mouse called Pikachu. Inside her suit she smiled. The Purple guy that looked like Link came in to get Link and her.
Samus went into the dark room with Link. She knew Pikachu was watching her from behind, but she didn't care. She wasn't going to fight him. Not yet, anyway.
Link's presence seemed a little awkward. Then, the lights came on for Samus to train in the thirty minutes she was given.
It was time to fight, and the stage she was on was strange. It had three platforms and a fourth that moved up and down. The big platform, which was hovering over a lake of acid, was only three times bigger then the other platforms. This wasn't enough room for her to fight. She then saw the lake of acid come up, stop, then go back down. It did it again and again, until only the top platform was safe. Not only small, but dangerous. Samus thought this was great. Then, she heard the unsheathing of a sword. Link had arrived.
"Reading?! Go!!" yelled a loud voice from nowhere. Link threw a boomerang at Samus.
She jumped over it and shot a small ball of energy at him. He lifted up his shield, which blocked the attack. This was going to be a lot harder than she thought. As she landed, she realized her mistake. The boomerang came back and knocked her towards Link. He grabbed the boomerang and swung at her with his sword. Samus thought it would cut through her suit, but it just sent her flying off the top platform.
She landed on the second platform, stunned for a moment. She saw Link coming done with his sword. She rolled away and powered up her Blaster. As he landed, she shot a medium-sized ball of energy at Link. He was sent flying to the fourth platform.
Samus powered up her blaster again, getting it to full blast. She would save it for later.
She jumped to Link and did her screw attack. Link was flung back to the first platform, but got his footing before landing. He threw his boomerang again. This time, Samus hit it with her Chain Link. It went back to Link, who caught it and shot at her with his Hook Shot. Samus ducked down, but went through the platform. Caught by surprise, she used her screw attack to get up to the big platform. Then, she remembered the acid.
It came up all around her. As it did, Samus was sent upwards and was knocked back down by Link. Samus hit the acid head-on, being sent back up. Link came over to do a powerful sword attack, but she was ready. With his shield down, she shot at him. The attack struck Link's sword, knocking him back. Samus landed on the moving platform, and powered up her Blaster to full blast. Link came at her with his boomerang, but she rolled away and shot at him. The blast hit Link, sending him towards the evil, black walls. He was about ten feet away from the platform when he jumped and did his spin blade attack. He landed on the second platform, but Samus was ready. When the moving platform was level with him, she shot the energy at him. Link just smiled and a pink bubble formed around him. The energy disappeared with some of the bubble. Link looked at Samus, and smiled an evil grin. If only he could see her smile. Samus jumped up and out of the acid's way. Link got a full blast of it, his gray eyes wide with pain. He was sent upwards, and into the sky. Samus powered up another energy blast and calculated where Link would land. She shot him before he landed, sending him towards the black, evil walls. He jumped and did his spin blade attack without success. He fell towards the rising acid and sank below its evil surface. After a few seconds, there was an explosion from down inside the lake. Samus defeated Link. She smiled within her suit.
Everything went black except for a rectangle of light which was the double doors. She thought she heard a scream, but ignored it.
The Pikachu was on the other side, waiting expectantly. She then sensed what he knew. Link wasn't in the room or anywhere she could feel. She looked at the mouse and thought he would be a worthy opponent, after all. She walked back to the others, and to watch Fox.
