Samus was already at the front door by morning. The tattoos ring was almost gone; Samus had predicted that at the rate that it was fading she would have about an hour to find Ike before something bad happened to him. She didn't want to predict what that was. Samus bust the door open and jumped inside. The only thing she had to defend herself was her light beam, so she decided to keep thing as quite as possible. She snuck though the halls and crept around the corners. Samus was following the path that she had seen in her mind less than 24 hours ago, she only hoped that everything would be okay, like it was before.
Samus entered the dungeon and knew exactly which cell to look into but was stopped in her tracks, because right before her eyes her best friend Zelda was inside a cell too. She was in trophy form and couldn't help Samus out with the questions that now entered her head. She browsed another 31 cages containing other smashers. Samus then turned to the last cage on the right, where her mind had told her where Ike was. It was right. "Ike!!!" Samus yelled, and then remembered that she was supposed to keep quite.
"Samus, ahhh Sammie, you came. I knew you would come for me." Ike said, out of character really. Wasn't he supposed to be the hero? Samus thought, oh well, he was hers. Samus open the locked gate and jumped into Ikes arms.
"I'm so happy to see you, what happened to you?" Samus asked.
"Well I woke up, about half way here; then they tossed me in here and then posted this on my arm." Ike lifted his arm up and showed Samus the number 33 on his wrist. She was puzzled until he out her down and asked her to look at him when her said, " Sam, I know something isn't right here. Something is completely wrong and we are then only one left right now so we have to stop who ever are doing this. And in doing so, one of us disappears I want you to know forever and always that, I need you, I would die for you, you are my life, I don't care what anyone says when I walk up to my friends and they laugh at me because I'm holding your hand. I want you to be mine and me to be yours. Forever." Ike stopped, he moved his hand higher on Samus's back and she lend forward and they slowly kissed with passion, so much tat wind started to blow circling them both and lifting Samus's hair, Then even lifting Samus and Ike together, still in each others arms. Gold blinding lights shone from their embrace, and then lowered them down.
"Oh my god!" Samus felt the same tingling again where the ring used to be. She looked over her shoulder and saw those same lines drifting up her back all the way to her shoulder. Then in all the excitement Ike looked over to his tattoo which was also added to, but with more manly lines that went down his arm and covering the number 33 on his wrist and the back of his hand.
"What is going on?" Ike asked, still suprprized, he though the tingling from the other day was a fly bite! He had been getting the same things that Samus had. They where meant to be together, forever. Just like Ike had said. Then he gave Samus a look.
"I don't know what this is but, this whole save the planet thing has to happen now. We have to focus, maybe later pretty boy." Samus joked as they walked out of the dungeon and out to face the evil genius, who had a plan that was yet to be discovered. But hey, Ike the mercenary and Samus the bounty hunter could pull it off. Together.
