Metroid Ultima saga: Episode 8 A high stakes gamble.
Samus stood up and looked Lee. "Ok, what do we have to do now?" Samus asked. Lee handed her a piece of paper and explained. "We got a mission from HQ that's going down here on Earth. The Dentech Casino opens tonight and, some unknown life form runs it. They think that Ultima's using this to smuggle weapons outside of the Earth."
"So they basically want us to check it out?" Samus asked, in a bored voice. "Yeah, it all bangs at 9:00PM tonight." Lee replied. Samus walked home form there. She'd guess that Utlima wanted her for a reason but she still wasn't sure why. She told Toko what was going on, and she even let her borrow a dress to wear.
Somewhere in space Ultima was on other things. He and Frank stood in front of a cryogenic tank, with a life form inside. "Master are you sure what ever is in here wont kill us?" Frank asked looking scared. "Don't be stupid Frank, I can control the mind of most life forms. Ultima replied. "Where'd it come from?" Frank asked. "From the wreckage of that old BSL station. It was found 900 years ago, but it managed to get it from a source."
Ultima then pushed the release with 1 of his bionic arms. White vapor began to spew out of the tank as the life forms image became visible. It was the SA-X Samus had defeated 900 years ago. "Master, there are 2 of them??!!!!" Frank asked. 4 space pirates then walked into the room, pointing their weapons at the tank in case of hostility.
Ultima became instinctively enraged once he realized what it was. "This thing is an X!!" Ultima thought to himself. The tank then opened and the SA-X stepped out. Ultima stared at it's face through the visor. It had the look of Samus's previous face, before they were sent to this time. But it was dead looking, it had no pupils.
"Well I never thought id have to rely, on my main prey to catch my prize." Ultima said, as he walked away from the SA-X. At that moment a click was heard, Ultima turned around and saw the SA-X punting its cannon at him. "Blarghhh goo raggg. [SCATTER!!!]" One of the space pirates yelled.
The SA-X fired a super missile at Ultima, it was 2 inches away from him before he stopped it with his telekinetic powers. He then proceeded to take control of the SA-X's mind.
It fell to its knee's as it clutched its head, twitching left from right. It then stopped and stood up.
"Ahh that's better!!!!" Ultima yelled as he walked towards it. "Now bow to your master!!!" Ultima said, as the SA-X bowed and looked up at him. "Master what do you plan to do with that thing?" Frank asked. Ultima turned around and looked at him. "Grrrr….. Frank you know damn well, what I plan to use this for!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ultima yelled, as Frank moved backwards.
"Master still, why is that girl so useful to us?" Frank asked, in a small voice. 'FRANK IF YOU EVER ASK ME THAT AGAIN, IM GONNA KILL YOU!!!!!!!!! I will show you when we get her, why she's so useful to me." Ultima yelled, Frank moving into a corner. "Yes master, but what can I do while you discipline that thing?" Frank asked.
"Go down to Earth and supervise that weapons smuggling gig I have going down there.
Alert me if anything comes up. Also take him with you incase the girl show's. Ultima pointed to a tank where a Purple dragon slept.
"Yes master." Frank said, as he headed down to the launch bridge. Back on Earth the casino had opened, and the place was getting packed. "So when's little Ms. Legend, going to get here?" Jade asked, in jealous voice. "She'll be here." Pete replied, in a irritated voice. Pete was dressed in a silver silk suit. The kind you might find at a average priced store. His short black hair, was brushed.
Lee however was dressed in the type of suit, a business man might wear to a meeting. Though he wasn't wearing his glasses. And Jade who couldn't notice her, dressed in a gown of greenish satin. Her black hair tied up into a bun, with a black stole draped over her shoulder's. "God is she always late?? Its almost 9." Jade said, now getting impatient.
As soon as the clock struck 9, Samus emerged through the front door. She looked stunning, wearing a long red dress her blonde hair which was usually pulled into a ponytail was out. It came down to the middle of her back. "Wow!!" Pete said, in a daze.
Lee waved his hand in front of Pete's face. "Wake up dummy!!" Lee yelled, as he smacked Pete upside the head.
Pete came back to earth, and walked towards Samus. "What took ya?" Pete asked, in an anxious voice. Samus rolled her eyes and jammed her foot on top of his hard. "Just wanted to make a dramatic appearance!" Samus, said through gritted teeth. Not wanting to get on her bad side, Pete just moved away from her.
The 4 of them walked over into a corner where none could hear them. Lee pulled out a small console from his pocket and, hooked it up to the wall. He began typing stuff into it. "Argghhhh can we go now? I want to hit the slots!!!" Pete said, in a annoying voice. "Look we are not here to gamble!!!" Lee yelled. "Like hell we are!!! Its not every day you get to go to the Dentech casino." Jade said, starting to pace back and forth.
Samus said nothing and just stood there with her arms folded. Lee then unhooked the console. "Ok nothing yet but if you guys notice anything weird contact me." Lee said, as he walked off. "Well Sam do you want to……" Pete looked around but Samus was gone.
On the upper deck, Frank sat in the security room. He looked at each camera visor over and over again. After about 3 hours he got a message from the personal that they were about to begin transporting the cargo off the planet. "That's great.." Frank said, as he checked the visors again. "Wait!!!!" Frank zoomed in on 1 of the crowds. He saw Samus among them. "Great!!!!!!!1" Frank thought to himself. He called Ultima on his com link.
Ultima was having a staring contest with the SA-X in his quarters. Then his com link beeped. "Get that would you?" Ultima asked the SA-X. The SA-X stood up, pressed a Button on the wall and the link opened. "What is it, and this better be damn good!!!" Ultima yelled. "Master the girls here, do you want me to dispatch the pirates?
"Yes, and send in our friend." Ultima said, as he turned his link off. "Your on in 10." Frank said to a figure in the darkness behind him. A yellow eye was seen and a raspy voice was heard. "I've waited a long time for this!!!" The figure said.
