Metroid Diffusion XIV

Euphoria

The poisonous air felt soft and calm, it gave no indication of what Samus would feel. Dark Samus approached the enclosed canyon, its wall riddled with phazon, lighting up the rock face that would be otherwise in shadow. She couldn't help herself enough, the hunger was easing away and relief was flooding into her. The Ing were cautious of her, she had killed a few when she had arrived, signalling their demise. Samus tumbled out of the portal behind Dark Samus. Dark Samus smiled as she collected up the phazon, she knew at one time Samus would look up and that would be her death. Dark Samus shot at Samus but hit the light crystal instead, without light, Samus would never survive dark Aether's atmosphere, and this was perfect. The Ing crawled further towards Samus and when the crystal ran out, they jumped on her. She had no chance. Samus threw herself into the portal and back to the real world. She had gotten away this time but not next time!

The phazon feel was so good, it was the ultimate euphoria, why hadn't she done this before, dark Samus asked herself. She needed more phazon and she knew where to get it. The space pirates were always into the experimenting with phazon. She would go to their base and find her ecstasy, her phazon. The freedom of her dementia, her all consuming power over all things. Let the universe envy her shadow, let even the mighty Chozo bow at her feet locked in her phazon chains. A deep emotion welled up inside her; it was a shock and rejected feeling, a feeling of true separation from her. She needed more phazon; she smelled it on the wind coming from the Agon wastes, which was her next target. She felt her body melt into particles and surf along the wind the sweet scent of the phazon guiding her.

Under the path to the Space pirate's dark world, there was so much phazon to suit her needs and overturn her other feelings of rejection and sadness. It fuelled her to go on to more and more. It made her glow inside and outside, a warm blue tinge that she could feel pumping through her veins, finally her elation was here. But it was not enough, she needed more. There now existed a pain in her, a pain that could only be driven away by more phazon, it was a high missing from her system, dragging her into fiery fury and disposing any inhibitions on her power, she was free to kill and to roam for her life, her precious….phazon.

The engine room was square and high mechanical. Six phazon processing plants stood in the corner and in the middle stood a special tower, its walls exposing the beautiful light glow of phazon. Dark Samus' craving was too strong for her to hold back and soon she felt the power once again topping up her system, throwing her senses into overdrive, she was unstoppable. She heard a clang of familiarity as Samus hit the floor. That sound, Dark Samus had heard so much and now she would be ending, no matter what happen before. Samus in her golden Varia suit stood just a few metres away, guns pointed, who would crack first?

Dark Samus' impatience wore thin, this would over soon. She shoot multiple blasts in Samus' direction, Samus retaliated directly with a few of her own. Then it began the fight. Dark Samus fired with her spreader gun across the whole room feeling nothing but exhilaration at her own extermination. Samus' power beam was no match for a phazon beam and so Samus would soon die. She was hiding behind pillars, useless, Dark Samus charged up and threw herself at the bounty hunter, scraping metal and warping the tough floor. The power was slowly wearing her down, pulling her stamina, Dark Samus needed phazon to recharge. She put a force field around herself but it was too weak the power beam was cutting through, her skin was torn she could keep herself in one piece, exhilaration now turned to utter hate as began to desperately destroy herself. The last shot over-powered her and she had to succumb to the dark dimension to recover her health. Why was she so weak? She needed more phazon and more, and then she could finally finish this damn bounty hunter for ever.
