Ch. 5 Round 4: Fight!
Author's Note: I find it somewhat strange that there are quite a few copycat characters in Metroid, though it's more of a Nintendo feature. Anyways I'd like to say that I'm hoping for another Metroid Smash character, with Sylux, U-mos, or Melissa Bergman being my preferred choices.
Again, please keep all reviews clean.

The Ing fled from Dark Samus. By her lay the forms of several darklings foolish enough to challenge her.
A blast of incinerating energy eliminated the fleeing group. Samus approached her doppelganger, arm cannon readied.
Samus murmured to herself, "As I approached the disgusting creature, I wondered if it, too, remembered our long a colorful history which I could ramble on for several pages of this story."
Dark Samus, being true to form, fired first. Samus leapt away, unleashing a pulsing blue blast of plasma.
Missiles were fired, screw attack met energy shield, and the two Metroid-Samus-Power Suit hybrids continued their duel.
Eventually, Samus, being Samus, won over her dark ditto. Scooping up the remains of Dark Samus's particles in a jar, she shipped it off to Super Smash Bros, where Dark Samus would be a constant nuisance to other people, not just Samus.
Another copycat battle was waged, as Melissa Bergman sent her Metroid horde against Mother Brain.
To the Tertiary Brain's irritation, her telepathic control over her own forces was being contested. In addition, she couldn't seem to control her opponent's smaller but more dedicated force.
Eventually, Mother Brain's forces were defeated, with Melissa's advancing to Mother Brain's chamber.
In an epic battle, with all of the Metroids not needing to protect their respective blond, they gobbled up Tertiary Brain.
Brain food, anyone?
Elcnax was puzzled by the shadowy horde that surrounded it.
Then it gave its equivalent of a shrug and started annihilating them.
The Pirate Commandos' phasing tricks couldn't fool Elcnax's telepathic sense. The shapeshifter lit them up with a narrow beam of fiery plasma.
The bugs were bugs. They were swatted, fried, and burned.
In a desperate move, the remaining Ing forces departed from their hosts and attempted to control Elcnax.
They did not pass their final exam, though it was with flying colors.
Samus passed by the ruined Tertiary Brain chamber. Checking underneath it, she found a hidden, developing Mother Brain clone.
She shipped it off to the same address as Dark Samus, along with a Metroid she froze for assaulting her.
She reached the command bridge of the vessel in time to spot Melissa Bergman and Elcnax. Raising an eyebrow, she was about to speak when Melissa said, "Don't ask. Let's just take this creature first."
A volley of icy plasma bolts from Samus obliterated the creature's arms. While vulnerable, Elcnax became subject to a Metroid eating contest.
After several rounds of this, the crippled Elcnax floated slowly away. Instead of pursuing, Samus went to a nearby console and typed. A warning klaxon activated about the upcoming antimatter annihilation that was to follow, and Samus took off for her ship, freezing any SA-X's who happened to be in her way.
Melissa Bergman made her way to her own vessel, with the Metroids piling in behind her. Her ship followed Samus's as the Jug ship exploded like a miniaturized star.
Melissa piloted her ship to an undisclosed location, trying to make plans for the future. Meanwhile, Samus took to going wherever she fancied, trying to find a way to occupy her time, other than lonely space patrol.
