Home Again
The Commander took the microphone and shouted, "She knew all along! She was our special double agent. She did what she had to and it worked out well. Oh Samus you do act so very well! Thank you!" The court was silent, no-one moved an inch at this comment and the reporters listened closer. Fadley stood and walked over to the microphone and retaliated, "Samus Aran would never do a thing like that!"
"Oh really" sneered the Commander, "Look in her eyes and ask her that!" Fadley turned to look at Samus and stared her in her visor and asked,
"Did you know about that? Were you working for them?"
Samus shook her head and whispered quietly, "No!" The Commander took control of the situation,
"She doesn't show her true self, all she shows is that iron mask hiding the truth from us all! Samus Aran is guilty!" Fadley walked over to her and said,
"Please tell the truth with your eyes." Samus wanted to reply but something took over her and made her say,
"I can't, I have no other form than this!" The Commander treated this comment like proof,
"See! She is lying through her teeth. See the way she turns away! She the way she has no eyes nor has she feelings!" Fadley look at Samus with hatred, his eyes had a different glow to them, a diffused glow to them; he screamed and launched himself at Samus. Several pirates grabbed him and tried to control him, he sprouted wings and a tail, his skin became scaled and a shade of purple his mouth turned into a snout. Standing before Samus was no longer Fadley but Ridley. Samus jumped in her seat, "How can you do that?" Ridley's voice was course like sandpaper,
"All humans are different now! Haven't you ever heard of the Fall?"
"Yes"
"It means the fall of Humans, when we were changed into things. Time travel is now possible! And I am going to kill you! You betrayed me, I always thought you were on our side but I can see now! You were a double agent all along! I will kill you before this all happened!" The space pirates let go and started charging up their weapons and looking at Samus. Then the huge security guards came in and detained them all. They waited a light-cycle glaring at each other. Samus had been squirming around forcing her gun to point at the had-cuffs. She fired one shot and broke free. She ran away down the steps and into the corridor. Samus heard the huge security guards thundering after her, they were quite quick but not quick enough for Samus. She took a gravity elevator down to the hanger and ran to her ship.
Samus's ship hadn't changed but the controls were broken, she ran a system check and found the engine had been destroyed. They were creeping up on her and trying to get her, blaming her for their mistakes, their cock-ups, their bloody problems. She needed more time. That was it! She needed time. She called Sumas from the depths of her mind, "Please I need to go back in time!"
"Of which you speak of takes vast amounts of energy to replenish, are you sure?"
"Yes"
"It is very powerful"
Something hit Samus in the back. It sliced at her body and drove pain to her head. This was too much, her body was dying, and it was her fault. Everything was her fault, she needed to no longer be the fault and so she needed to be fixed. Her pain and confusion summoned Sumas' power and strength but not his thoughts. Her fury controlled her body now, the darker side of herself. She began to laugh, a hoarse cruel laugh. The power she had now was immense, she could destroy planets and huge cities and finally the universe would feel her pain. Slowly she turned round and shot the guard behind her twice. Her path to self destruction had begun; the planet of Aether was calling her, begging her to come. She obliged and concentrated on a point in space and time, light seemed to drag around her and the shapes of the room she had just left were distorted, it was like walking, it was that calm feeling of warmth. Samus body shook violently as time flew past her, space time was at her control and she was powerful, so powerful. Her body jolted and swayed before dropping onto the ground.
Her skin felt the air and sun and craved the death of her former self. She needed to wait for herself to come along and then she'd teach her. A hunger grew in her stomach, a hunger that to rival a vampire's, it begged for phazon, craved it and wanted it. Samus needed to feed it and soon, before it tortured her further. She arrived at the GF ship; she hadn't seen for years, it brought feelings of doubt in the back of her mind. This train of though was disturbed when she heard someone coming and so she snuck behind a corner. A few seconds later, a younger Samus stepped out in full Varia suit in front of the ship. Dark Samus eyed her and knew she could kill herself now but something was nagging her. She didn't feel strong enough, her strength was failing. She had to run for cover and so she spread herself into particles again and drifted away in the wind. She drifted into the dark dimension she could call home.
