Chapter 3a: Expeiment's proving

The parasite queen fired a beam of energy out of it's mouth, but Expriment 15 jumped over the blast with help from what was immistakeably space jump technology, then returned fire with a super missle.

Then experiment 15 rolled up into morph ball mode and dropped a power bomb almost under the parasite queen, and the blast threw both against the wall.

Experiment 15 uncurled and ramed a super missle right down the queen's throat. The queen exploded, splatering guts and blood along the walls.

"If it has the memories it did before it was cloned, why does it fight so well?" wondered Samus.

She tried again to find out what kind of blood it was infused with, and the computer showed the data to her this time, as since it was a success, the data was no longer classified. The translation of the species name made her choke; as it said "Space Pirate".

"That must be the answer to my question... it's got a Space Pirate's fighting abilities and a copy of my suit!" thought Samus.

She wondered wether to termenate Experiment 15, or try to get it to side with her.

After all, it was once a pure human, maybe it would chose to be an enemy of the space pirates.

The building shook, and Samus got another transmition from her ship; "Space Pirates closed on the compound faster than predicted. There are 5 flying pirates and 2 power troopers. They have succeded in breaking through the main entrance, as it had shut of, and are closing fast on your position."

"Great," thought Samus. "Now I'll have to deal with them too..."

She opened the door and prepared for battle. The flying pirates had reached the bottom floor first, but Samus could hear the Power Troopers nearing. She decided to chance setting Experiment 15 on them, as the Elite started moving inside it's tank.

She fired at the lower door, and seconds later, a power bomb detonated. All present were thrown away from the blast, exepting the Elite, who's tank shattered. Another effect that the power bomb caused was the stasis tank that had held experiment 15 went flying too and crushed a power trooper who had just arived.

His exoskeleton cracked and greenish blood seeped out. a teal morph ball rolled out of the combat testing room. The elite grabbed it, thinking it was the Samus, and tried to crush it.

Meanwhile, Samus was wasting the flying pirates with plasma beams, and avoiding the power troopers shots as she picked off the flying pirates.

The elite belowed. It's hand that had been holding experiment 15 with had been blown off by what seemed to be a bomb blast. Experiment 15 unfolded and lobed a diffusion missle into the elite pirate's face, then hit him with a plasma beam.

The elite fell, onto the power trooper at about the same time Samus finished with the flying pirates.

Samus looked over at Experiment 15, but he had dissapeared. She wondered how he got out so quickly, but was interupted by a transmition from her ship: "Scanners show a space pirate frigate approching Zeta VII. Suggesting temporary withdrawal." Deciding to ponder the escape of Experiment 15's escape later, she rushed from the compound.

A/N:Sorry this took so long. I've been suffering writer's block. Chapter 3b will hopefully be up soon.
