Metroid Regeneration

Chapter 6

The last Supper

Serina woke to see Sylux standing over her with a tray. He smiled and set the tray down on the bed, Serina looked at him, "Thanks Sylux."

"It's just a bit of breakfast." And Serina began to tuck in, Sylux just sat there and hummed. She spilt some energy drink on the tray, she ignored it for a bit, but then it began to move and form the word 'The last supper ', it scared Serina but she didn't say anything. When she was finished, Sylux picked up the tray and asked "You like it?" she smiled and said

"I loved it thank you" and she kissed the right side of his face. He blushed and walked quickly out of the room, she was so happy, she smiled.

The corridor was quite busy with robots busily sweeping dirt here and there. Serina looked around the chrome corridors, the silver glare didn't affect her, and she was used to it. Light blue neon lights ran under her feet, casting strange shadows over her suit. A security droid bumped into her, and repeatedly apologised before giving her a present. It was from Sylux, a small bracelet with glowing stones, Serina was almost hypnotized. Then she remembered herself and went to the hanger.

Sylux, on the other hand, was happy with himself. His plan was going very smoothly, so Aran would be his. He smiled crookedly, nobody knew what he was really thinking, they all thought he was love-sick over the new rookie. If only Weavel could keep his metal ass out of this, then it would run better. Weavel nearly caught him last time, fixing a bracelet for her; he said he had heard a funny noise. Sylux wouldn't be stopped now though, he couldn't be, and Samus wouldn't here to save her daughter. He decided to walk to the hanger; it was almost time to leave. He was anxious for his bittersweet revenge.

The main Cylosis hanger was very impressive, it boasted over 300 ships, 28 of those we're large frigate ships. Sylux's ship was on floor 24, above the vacant space where Samus' ship used to be. Waiting for Serina to arrive, were the Commander, Sylux, Weavel and two technicians. She arrived 2 minutes late, "Sorry I'm late, I ran into a robot." And she looked directly at Sylux, who nodded. The commander stepped in,

"Well, you have all been briefed on what you need to do. Now fulfil your duty and go to Dhyon." Weavel stepped into the belly of Sylux's blue ship, Sylux gestured to Serina and she steeped into the ship, she felt engulfed by it, as if waves were washing over her. She heard Sylux walked behind her and so moved further into the cockpit. Sylux sat at the controls with Weavel as co-pilot. Weavel turned round to face Serina "Lock and Load baby!" with perfect accent. The ship roared to life and then purred when its engine compensated. The main door opened and revealed the ink blackness of space splattered with specks of white. Sylux flicked something and the spaceship shot out of the hanger at near-light speed. Serina was flung back and almost hit a wall; she grabbed a handle just in time.

Space flew past the ship with subtle beauty; it never changed but still never got boring. Serina looked in absolute awe at the size of some the stars, she now realised at how little she was, any power she had ever felt was now put in its place. She felt so alone now, her spirit was now diminished. All she wanted was this to be over and then she would do something that didn't involve killing some other part of the galaxy. A dark voice grew inside her 'Serina, you have more power than the universe, use it. You can control everything; you can be queen and have whatever you want. Even…him'

'I won't, I will never succumb to that'

'Serina do you think you can stop me'

'Yes I can, I can destroy you now'

'What, and break Sylux's heart? Would you do that?'

'He would know, it wasn't because of him'

'He doesn't I'm here or you're talking to me'

'SHUT UP! GO AWAY!' and the voice disappeared, she was scared now, she mustn't let her other side take control. Her lips were dry and her throat ached, she felt so new to war. The planet loomed over the ship's main window; it had several large pieces of land, coloured a mixture of greens and browns to yellows with huge masses of water covering a lot of the planet. The ship's scanners picked up signs of GF machinery on one of the large areas of land, a large station was there beside a long, green river that crossed half the land area. They decided to land in a huge valley quite near it. The ship tilted towards the planet and began to descend on to the planet's surface.
