Metroid Ultima saga: Episode 18 See you next mission

It had been a rough 6 hours since the war had ended, half of the city was in ruins. Lee became puzzled at the fact that everything was still the same. He and Pete had returned to the Unix base after being teleported down to Earth. "If Samus returned to her own time then all the damage done by Ultima should have been altered. But everything remains the same. Lets head to the lab and see what that can tell us."

Pete raised his eyebrow. "What lab?" "The lab I have under the city, the one I built after I stole all those machines from Toba." The two jumped into the city sewers hastily not wanting to waste time. They stepped into an open space which was oddly shaped, Lee pushed a button on the wall causing the doors to close. The elevator descended downward in tell it hit the floor above to bottom. They both exited and walked toward a machine with a huge crystal inside. Lee sat down and turned on the computer screen.

"Ok this machine was taken from Chozo planet Toba. The runes on the machine says something about the space time fragment but I cant make it out all the way. But we may be able to find Samus." Lee spent 20 minutes searching through what he called the inter-dimension. "I cant find her anywhere, she may no longer exist." Pete placed both of his hands on the crystal and closed his eyes. "Samus where are you!!" He thought to himself.

His thoughts somehow someway reached Samus as he drifted unconscious through the inter-dimension. The words caused her to awaken, she looked around for him. "Pete where are you there's nothing here but white light." Samus's words seemed to pour out of the crystal. Lee pin-pointed her location, and started up the program. "Pete I'll have to transfer you to her all you have to do is touch her to complete the transfer."

"Does she get to come back here?" "No the return trip program only works once, I don't have the code." Pete took the elevator down to the bottom floor, where a scanner pod stood. Pete stepped in as the door closed behind him. "Transfer Pete." The pod filled with white light as he was transferred to the inter-dimension. Pete appeared in the white nothingness, he looked around for Samus.

He spotted Samus drifting away not to far from him, he made an attempt to fly toward her. "Samus!!" Samus spotted him as she grasped his hand. "Transfer complete!!" Lee's voice filled the dimension. They kissed gracefully, as a black hole appeared behind Samus. "Pete I love you and I'll never forget you." Samus let go of his hand and drifted into the hole. Pete was transferred out of the inter-dimension, he stepped out of the pod and took the elevator back to the lab.

Tears ran down his eyes as he walked toward Lee. "I'm searching for the program code, well bring her back someday." Samus warped back to the point where she first saw Ultima. She was wearing her suit again, the same one she had before being sent to the future. Samus shot the injured metroid with the ice beam and followed up with a super missile.

She pulled off her helmet and looked at Mike with glee. "Can I see a mirror?" Mike pulled out a small mirror and Samus looked into it, she saw the face of her former self. "Yesss!!!!!! I got my body back!!" Mike looked at Samus like she was nuts and said nothing. Back in the future the ok sign showed up on the computer screen. "Are you ready for a new reality Pete?" White light poured out of the crystal consuming everything in its path. It spread across the entire universe as the damage done by Ultima was undone.

Pete spoke as the new reality was made. "See you next mission." Somehow Samus was able to hear these words in the back of her head. As her gunship fly away from Talon 7 she looked back and smiled.

The end.
