Samus left the hospital over an hour ago, and she was in the forest making her way to where she had seen Ike being taken. Samus couldn't believe what had happened to her, how in her wildest dreams she could ever find Ike with her mind, she thought as she walked. There was also something else that troubled her deeply. How did she get that tattoo on her back? She didn't get it herself; it hadn't been there when she was changing at the mansion. The mansion, people were probably worried sick about her and Ike. That was just regular people. Peach was probably in therapy and taking pills! Samus smiled at the thought, and then she remembered what she was here for. She stopped and checked her back, the tattoo was fading still. Now there was a noticeable gap in the top ring that Samus had discovered this morning. She couldn't figure out what the disappearing tattoo meant. What happened these past few days that could cause such an odd side effect? She decided to put the thought aside and continued walking. "Well then" She said. To her surprise she had already gotten past all the forest, now rests the desert. Her only thought was, once she got there, what would they have done to Ike by then?
She started to walk faster, and faster. Only her fear held her back and that had long disappeared, right after Ike had kissed her. All her fear had disappeared at that moment. She had figured it out; Ike was the lines around her fathers tattoo! But he was disappearing, Samus thought. She had to get there quicker, faster. She had to get there now! Before everything that she loved disappeared.
