KINGDOM HEARTS: This World Tallon

Kupo…Sorry this one's so late. Writer's block, if you will.

Oh, and all flames will be used to make s'mores, kupo.

On with the show, kupo!


-Tallon Overworld, Landing Site-

The shot meant for Kairi….never did hit its mark. Rather, it was absorbed.

Kairi opened her eyes, which she had shut in fright, to find a red and gold blur in front of her.

Samus had had her Charge Beam going when Dark Samus had fired the scattershot Phazon Beam, which drew the bullets toward the charge held by Samus, infusing the beam with Phazon. Samus was also using her Speed Booster, which quickly got her around to Dark Samus's back, in which she let the Phazon-charged beam fly—right on its target.

Dark Samus screeched in pain. "Damn you…we'll finish this later, Light Hunter."

She proceeded to dissipate into small, blue-glowing Phazon particles, which hovered for a bit, then all of them shifted gears and sped off toward the old Phazon Mines.

Sora proceeded to chase them, but was stopped by Samus. "Don't. You can't fly."


-Miranada, Sun Pool, formerly Chozo Ruins, Sunchamber-

Night had fallen. All that was living had gone to their respective homes or the inn, and was peacefully sleeping…except one.

Samus, clad in just her blue bodysuit, was sitting outside at the edge of the Sun Pool (which, needless to say, smelled a lot better now that the corpse of the plant-creature Flaaghra was gone), as she could not sleep. She looked up at the beautiful, giant red rose the Chozo had planted where Flaaghra had been. She smirked. Stupid plant. I'll bet anything the water was toxic because it kept p

The Chozo Ghost Hikaru had materialized behind Samus, interrupting the woman's thoughts. "Something wrong, Hatchling?"

Samus didn't even flinch. "I thought I destroyed my copy back on Dark Aether…how has she returned? I know the Ing Horde was utterly destroyed, but why not her? It makes no sense…Perhaps she was recreated by the Heartless?"

"It is a good theory," Hikaru pondered, "but it doesn't explain her source of Phazon."

Samus couldn't think of any reason Dark Samus had a Phazon source again. She got up, and, a plan formulating in her mind, said simply, "I'll be back tomorrow..."


-Phazon Mines?-

The Phazon Mines…Here, it could sleep, revived, surrounded by the Phazon the Space Pirates had left over. Here, there was no resistance, for nothing could stand up to the radiation for long. Here, it was at peace.

The dark creature woke, looking upwards at its ally's return. The Phazon particles merged, and Dark Samus took form once again. The dark creature spoke, in its native language.

"(You have returned.)"

Dark Samus replied, also using the strange language. "(What of it?)"

"(I was expecting better of you. You could have taken them if you had done what I showed you)"

"(I know that, damn you. She did the absorb-trick again!)"

"(Hmm. I wonder, how she does that. And of the Keyblade?)"

"(Still in the boy's possession.)"

"(Crap. We need that Keyblade, or else he will destroy us!)"

"(I know that. And you know that I need more Phazon to do this. My weaponry will not work without it!)"

"(Then go get it. Nothing's stopping you. Shall I send some Ing for backup?)"

Dark Samus scoffed. (You were. Yes, I will take two Warrior Ing with me.)"

The beast stood, and stepped (or rather, stomped) out to where Dark Samus could see its face, as it summoned the two Ing. "(Just don't screw up,)" growled the Emperor Ing, reborn.

-Tallon Overworld, Landing Site-

The Zoomer that had been eating the Tangle Weeds had come back out, along with one of its Geemer buddies. This time they were eating the bugs living in the grass. The Geemer purred something to the Zoomer, and the Zoomer came to see what was going on. Once again the Zoomer, as well as the Geemer, fled screaming screeches and purrs, which may or may not have been curses or death threats, as Samus came through, in full armor, using her Speed Booster—she was running a tight schedule for the plan she had drawn up, and could not be held down. She stopped at her ship for a reload, this she could make time for.

As she stepped off the ship, her visor's display brought up a message.

Incoming scan data!
Large amounts of Phazon ore left behind by the Space Pirates located in Phazon Mines area.
Ing/Heartless biosigns also present.
Locate Phazon and biosigns.

Great. Just fing great. As she had expected, the Ing had returned. Lucky her she was still near her ship…She would head for Planet Aether, alone. Hopefully, she could get the Chozo some backup from the Luminoth.


Nothing to say here, kupo. Not this time, at least.

See you next mission!
