Chapter 13:
Phaaze Asteroid Field, Outer Area, Space
Everything was quiet in the edge of this field. Except for one small lone explorer on one of the larger asteroids. He had an astronaut's uniform with multiple survival features. His name was Olimar and he had just discovered a Phazon supply on the asteroid he was on. He wanted to harvest this resource in an attempt to power his ship because he was running dangerously low. Following the explorer were about thirty organisms which were called Pikmin. They were helping Olimar carry as much of the resource as possible to his Hocotate rocket ship which was stationed nearby.
Okay… we're about eighty percent of the way done. Pondered Olimar. We'll need to pick up the pace if we wanna make it to the next habitable planet soon.
While a couple Pikmin were carrying a large stone chock full of Phazon to the ship, one blue Pikmin tapped Olimar's side to get his attention. He pointed in the explorer's left direction. When Olimar followed to where he was pointing at, he immediately noticed a bright light that was rapidly heading toward their way. At a closer view, it looked to be a large comet.
Olimar and the Pikmin dove out of the way as the comet flew by. Olimar then took a closer look at the comet as it was leaving.
"That's no ordinary comet… " Deduced Olimar. "There was a bright light inside that thing that wasn't normal with most other comets I've seen."
The explorer then turned to his fellow Pikmin. "Everyone! Load the ship with what you have! We need to follow that thing!"
In a couple seconds, all of the Pikmin and Olimar boarded and initiated the Hocotate ship as fast as they could so that they wouldn't lose sight of the comet.
Phaaze Asteroid Field, Inner Area
When the Comet Observatory reverted back to its space station mode inside the field, they found what looked to be a enormous silver ship absorbing the large and small deposits of the radioactive substance with its large tendrils.
"I guess that must be Tabuu's mother ship." Said Daisy.
"No doubt there." Confirmed Samus as she readied her pistol.
The ship immediately took notice of the observatory and opened its compartment as it dropped silver gunships. These smaller ships carried what looked to be old Primids from the Subspace Army. However, these Primids were covered in a light silver and had red beady eyes. Each one was armed with either a super scope or a beam sword. As they were approaching the observatory, the five heroes, Rosalina, Luigi, Daisy, Pikachu, and Samus, were getting ready for the fight the new Lightspace Army was going to bring.
Rosalina was at the forefront, taking out gunships with her wand power. Samus, Pikachu, Luigi, and Daisy took out any Light Primids that attempted to board the observatory.
The Lumas were dealing with severing the tendrils from the Phazon asteroids with their star bits and their shooting capabilities. Many Lumas were successful and came out alive, but others heroically sacrificed themselves to either destroy a tendril or obliterate a gunship.
Luigi and Daisy worked in tandem to take out the enemies more effectively by the floral princess pulling out turnips she had while Luigi lit them with green fire once she threw them at her intended target.
Samus, still in her zero suit, dealt with her wave of enemies by using both her pistol and jet boots in multiple fighting techniques.
Pikachu stuck close to Samus and watched her back for any surprise attacks.
With all the battle that was happening, one stealthy Primid with a cloaking function snuck through the heroes' line of defense and broke out Ridley. However, since the space pirate was badly beaten from his earlier fight, the soldier decided to send him back to the Lightspace Army mothership with a teleportation device he had.
Meanwhile, the heroes were holding their own against the enemies, but they were getting driven back by the sheer numbers the mothership possessed.
"There's-a no end to these-a things!" Shouted Luigi.
"Tell me about it! We're barely holding them back now!" Responded Samus through all the fighting.
Then the unexpected happened. The Light Primids ceased their assault.
A drone then floated in front of the enemy soldiers and holographically projected a glowing white sphere with four translucent wings floating around it.
"You've certainly changed your look Tabuu." Quipped Samus. "Was blue just not your style anymore?"
"My name is Galeem, Samus Aran. I am the Lord of Light in this universe of chaos and impurity. It is my destiny to rectify those flaws once and for all."
This left Samus and the others in a confused state.
"I was once known to your kind as Tabuu, but that name is in the distant past now." Said Galeem. "I have come here because I seek the power necessary to increase my own."
"Well, we're in the process of destroying your tendrils so that you won't have any more Phazon to absorb!" Said Daisy.
After some pause Galeem spoke once more. "Did you really think I was after the Phazon this whole time? I counted on your vessel to come to me."
Light tendrils from the remaining gunships launched at the central beacon of the observatory, catching the other heroes off guard. Especially Rosalina. They were hooked into the beacon and were rapidly draining the pure cosmic power from the rest of the observatory.
"I had very high hopes you would come, Princess Rosalina. Especially after I sent Ridley to hunt you all down." Continued Galeem.
"No! I won't let you harm what I've built!" Yelled Rosalina. "Everyone! Sever the tendrils from the beacon! We can't let this being of light get its power!"
Samus, Pikachu, and Rosalina were about to fire their shots at them, but a missile from out of nowhere knocked them back, preventing them from making their moves.
A being apparently made of pure Phazon then jumped out of one of the gunships and landed right next to Galeem's hologram.
"No… You've got to be kidding me… " Uttered Samus as she got a good look at the being while lying down beaten.
"The Phazon wasn't entirely useless to me, Samus Aran. I thought I would bring back one of your old friends to assist my forces."
This being looked practically identical to Samus, except she had a predominantly black color scheme with blue accents and hues as if she was fully charged by unlimited energy.
Luigi and Daisy attempted to fight the darker Samus simultaneously, only to have the two blown back by a Phazon charge shot.
Since all five fighters were incapacitated, the light tendrils successfully finished draining the beacon's power, leaving it nothing but a dark floating husk with an emergency oxygen barrier.
Galeem then absorbed the beacon's energy, increasing his power and size dramatically.
"Purity will reach this whole universe soon enough. You will all bear witness to it." Said Galeem as he withdrew all his forces, including Dark Samus, and initiated his mothership into lightspeed.
After the mothership left, Samus looked in its direction in pure anger as the other four heroes and surviving Lumas were recovering from the fight.
"This isn't over, Galeem." Said Samus in rage. "I'll find you and tear you apart!"
