Chapter Two~ A Cry For Help
"How can there possibly be a metroid living. They're all dead" Samus exclaimed.
"I.I don't know. We haven't been working on them here, that's for sure."
Samus switched to her Diffusion Missiles (A/N She hasn't switched back to the original Samus) and began firing at the metroid. Though metroids' only weakness is cold, the diffusion missiles appeared to have no effect on the metroid. Then it started to shake, and Samus prepared to dodge, but it did something she hadn't expected. It split into a red metroid, and a blue metroid. She quickly fired a missile at the blue one, which destroyed it. How ever, when she switched to the plasma beam and began firing at the red metroid. However, it didn't effect the metroid like it had the other. This metroid seem aggravated at Samus, and quickly charged her, but Samus quick reflexes allowed her to dodge.
The battle continued for a while now, with Samus and the metroid fighting, and Perry hiding in the corner. It seemed that to destroy this metroid, Samus was going to need her old suit. The metroid once again prepared to charge, and Samus began to dodge. However, Samus didn't realize that the floor was wet from leaky pipes, and she slipped. The metroid charged, and latched to Samus, draining her energy. Samus felt a familiar sense of warmth from the metroid. She tried hard to figure out what it was, but she couldn't. She didn't have the energy. This metroid seemed to drain energy at an accelerating rate. Samus tried with all her might but she soon fell un-conscious.
At first, Samus thought she was dead. She could here voices. Then an image of a Chozo appeared before here. It spoke to her.
"Samus, you mustn't loose hope."
"But I failed"
"You try, you fail, you try you fail. But the only true failure is when you stop trying"
"So what do you want me to do?"
The Chozo looked at her and grinned, and said, "Try again."
Then suddenly Samus woke up. The metroid was still draining her energy, but suddenly it screeched in pain and let go of Samus. Puzzled, Samus stood up. The metroid had recovered, and was ready to launch again. Then suddenly, Samus felt a sharp pain in her heart. It was almost unbearable. Then the pain went away leaving a strange warm feeling. Suddenly, she was surrounded by blue light that seemed to be fusing with her fusion suit. Suddenly, she felt a jolt of power. Her suit began to change. First to the Power Suit, then to the Varia Suit, then the Gravity Suit, and finally, the Phazon Suit.
Samus took this opportunity to switch to the plasma beam and began firing. The metroid didn't last long.
"Samus, how did.." Perry couldn't finish his sentence.
"I don't know" Samus replied, thinking it wasn't a good idea to share her visit from a Chozo for some reason. She still didn't know exactly how it had happened. She did know that it had something to do with the Chozo. Yet, it all seemed too cliché. Losing a battle, then right at the end, having the power to defeat your enemy.
Suddenly, Samus and Perry heard a beeping noise. Perry quickly pulled out an organizer and read the message. 'Samus, they need us back in the hiding room now."
Samus and Perry quickly began re-tracing their steps back to the hidden room. Once there, she knocked, gave her name, and they let her in.
"That was quick," a scientist said looking up from his papers.
"I think we should get out of here," Samus said, getting curious looks in reply. Then one scientist took a good look at her suit and said
"That's not the Varia Suit you were supposed to have. Perry, did everything go ok?"
"We'll explain later. Right now, I agree with Samus. We have to leave now."
The scientists asked no questions, but began to pack their things up. A few gave Samus curious glances, but decided they should just pack now, and ask questions later. It wasn't long before everyone was ready. The scientist and the Council Members all followed Samus' lead. She switched to thermal visor first to make sure there were no metroids in the vicinity. There didn't seem to be any, however, she did detect faint heat signatures in other rooms.
"Keep a look out." Samus warned her group.
"Keep a look out for what?" A Council Member asked.
"Metroids" Samus answered. The entire group became very tense. Samus began to wonder if it was such a good idea to tell them that metroids were loose. Perhaps she should have just said to look out for danger. But it was in the past now and there was nothing she could do about it. "Where is the nearest ship?" Samus asked.
"They're all in the docking bay. The only escape pods were on the top floor, which was completely destroyed."
Samus let out a sigh. The situation could get very difficult if a metroid was to appear. But the worst part was these metroids were fission metroids. She began to wonder how fission metroids could be here. The only fission metroids she'd ever encountered were in the impact crater on Tallon IV, where she fought Metroid Prime. How could they possibly be here? After walking for a while, the group came to the staircase Samus had chased the intruder up. She switched to the thermal visor to make sure it was safe. There was not trace of them in the stair well.
"We have to be quick. The metroids could come at any time." She kept her thermal visor on to make sure they weren't being surrounded. As they were walking down, someone asked what this was. Samus switched to her combat visor. It was from when she had attacked the intruder, but these scorches didn't come from her weapon. They seemed to come from an object that was very hot.
"I don't know," was all Samus could say. They began to go down the stairs again. It wasn't long until they reached the bottom. Again Samus switched to her thermal visor. This time however, there were two heat signatures floating around the room. Samus then remembered that metroids are very weak to power bombs. She didn't know if she could go into Morph Ball form though. However, when she tried, she successfully transformed. She rolled out, and got the metroids close to her. Just as they were about to strike, she let of a power bomb, completely destroying them. She changed back, and signaled the others to follow her. Once they were together, they ran for Samus' space ship, climbed aboard, and took off.
"Now will you please explain how you got the Phazon Suit instead of the Varia suit?" a scientist asked.
"I didn't have the surgery," Samus replied, getting looks of shock.
"Then how."
"It was a Chozo." This time she got looks of surprise from everyone including Perry. She continued to explain. "When the metroid had my un- conscious, I got a message from a Chozo. It told me that the only failure was when I stopped trying. Then I woke up, and the metroid seemed in pain. Then I felt a sudden pain, which went away leaving a strange feeling. Then suddenly, my Fusion Suit began to change into the Power Suit, the Varia Suit, the Gravity Suit, and finally, the Phazon Suit."
The entire group got a shock went a beeping noise went off on the control panel of the Gun Ship. "It's a distress signal," Samus said, continuing to press more buttons. They're in huge trouble. It says that they were attacked by.Samus Aran?!?
"How can there possibly be a metroid living. They're all dead" Samus exclaimed.
"I.I don't know. We haven't been working on them here, that's for sure."
