X vs. Samus
[Sorry everyone...I didn't mean for this one to take so long! Anyway, hope it's to your liking!]
Ship Log 205132: ...Bioform: Aran, Samus.
...Suspended Chrono Sleep Chamber: Disengage.
...Life Suite Power: Active.
...Bioform Status: Green.
...WELCOME...YOU'VE GOT MAIL... [Couldn't Resist!]
Samus woke restlessly and looked out at the planet as the ship was making it's way into the atmosphere. It seemed now that she couldn't stand still for more than two seconds.
The peaking boredom upon her ship had not only affected her consciousness, now it was also affecting her unconscious state! The past sixty-four hours had been nothing short of a relentless torment upon her dreams, nay her nightmares. She could only hope that the adrenaline now coursing its way through her veins could be appeased without totally draining her of energy.
Samus' ship finally reached it's elipsed orbit, running closest to the most secluded area so as not to attract any unwanted attention.
Without hesitation, Samus Aran stepped onto her newest addition to the ship, a Particle Transporter.
This thing cost me a pretty number of credits. I sure hope it works in orbit! And with that in mind she set her destination coordinates, and was gone.
The feeling Samus had next was quite exhilarating as her every molecule, no longer having the ties of exact form, could move about as each pleased.
For what she believed to be the first time, Samus Aran had experienced the true meaning of both peace and freedom.
Suddenly, just as quickly as it began, it was over. Samus was standing in a room, which seemed to be alive, yet inanimate.
"What the hell?!" She checked her navigational locator to understand the where, why, and how.
The coordinated showed that she had ended up in some sort of tower, which was thoroughly integrated by computers and plants alike.
Hmm. Much like Talon IV.
Could the Chozo truly have traveled so far and, at one point in time, commenced their Spiritual Search on a planet so technologically immature? Though the idea was plausible, it could not have been the Chozo which built this fortress. The circuitry seemed to intertwine with the building. The plants were just overgrowth from an estimated 5 cycles without any form of maintenance. When the Chozo raised buildings, all elements played a vital roll in it's construction. Everything was in sync with one another.
Samus scanned the fortress for signs of life. There were two bionic life forms; both had integrated circuitry, like the building itself. One, which seemed to pulse a stronger signal, seemed to be waiting for the other as it traveled to the top.
"Guess I could use a workout. After all, I have energy to burn!" Samus checked the location of the weaker signal...it was close. Access to the main chamber seemed to be close to the room she now occupied.
Not understanding the technology of the lock on the door, Samus charged her Pulsar Cannon...
"What th...!" Unrealistically, it almost seems, she had glanced down at her locater inside her visor. Another bioform, infused with the strange circuitry, had just appeared out of nowhere! It's signal, while stronger than the travelers, still paled in comparison to the "top-level" bioform.
"So much for unwanted company...Oh, well. This may get interesting!"
Samus fired, the now fully charged Cannon, at the door and she waited for the smoke to clear...
"Huh?!" Samus attempted to jump out of the way of the oncoming pulsar shot...to little use! The shot hit her square in the chest!
She wrenched as she tried to recover her footing...she only succeeded in one of the attempts, the wrenching part! Samus clumsily toppled over onto her shoulder.
Damn it! Careless flaws were being made due to her hurriedness. She should have tested the door of it's attributes.
She pushed herself back up onto her knees and checked her energy levels..."Great!" Her own, charged, pulsar shot had taken it's toll on her! And thanks to the adrenaline still running through her, she was becoming weaker and weaker by the minute!
"I'm alright. All I need is an energy source of some kind. My energy levels are still pretty high." Enough to withstand battle conditions at least! The environment was a completely different story...
I'll take my chances. Samus studied the lock and accessed the door, which shot open as soon as she entered the code...
Samus Aran now stood face to face with a ghost!!!
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! How th...but you can't b..." She raised her pulsar cannon to his face. "Who are you, and why do you look like...him?!"
X mearly stood there and stared at her without any form of expression. He seemed dazed, and yet he had a look of total confidence. His eyes glowed with a rather strange serenity. Could he truly be the one she destroyed all those cycles ago...It isn't possible!
"Give me your name, damn it, or I'm gonna' turn you into scrap metal!!!" With that being said, she charged her Pulsar Cannon once again.
"Don't shoot! He's not what you think!"
"Who the hell are you!"
"My codename is Zero...and this is X!"
[Sorry this one took so long, guys. Got a little sidetracked.]
