Chapter 3 (Samus)
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The electricity stopped and I was breathing heavily. Blood was still fresh right above my left eye that was still oozing out. The scars all over my body were burning with pain. I cough up some fluids; whether blood, spit, or vomit is anyone's guess because my vision is blurry.
4 years. 4 fucking years of this constant torture. And you would think I got use to it, but no. Every month or so, when they feel I have gotten to use to the torture they were giving, they would change it up. And very rarely is it ever less bad then the last.
I continue to breathe heavy when my vision stars getting a little more clear. Well, at least I see my blond hair. I look to my right, just above my shoulder, and I see the little yellow creature. Pikachu I think its name was. It looked like a mouse the size of a raccoon. He also had a lightning bolt like tail and red cheeks. They were torturing him as much as I was being tortured. He emitted some type of electricity, whether he natural has it or he has been experimented on I don't know, but they make him do it constantly. When he is beyond drained, they make him keep going.
Unfortunately for him, I was being shocked today, so my sympathy for him is very low. I touch the glass that surrounded me that kept me in this hell and see my current torturer. He was a short maybe 5" tall, fat man. He had yellow and purple on him everywhere with overalls on. He had a large nose, the classic evil mustache, and that mouth that just screamed scum. His hat (also yellow) had a gain purple W for his name, Wario.
"Well, little girl." He said with a meaning glee, "Looks like your usefulness is close to an end."
I pant and glare in response.
"We got your suite all destroyed and examined. Your going to be lovely as my trophy."
"That's enough Wario." A voice said.
I look up to him, and there stood Ganon. He is a fucking bastard, but conniving one that's for sure. A mix of black and purple mixed to a demonic hue, wearing ancient military battle armor, a weird headband that was on his forehead, and orange hair just to match his demonic form. But he radiated power, and he had such confidence that it was kinda admirable (in a sick way).
"There is no need to tease the bitch." Ganon said smoothly.
Wario looked disappointed but asked, "Why are you here boss? You never deal with rift raft."
"Oh Wario," Ganon said neutrally, "experiments are never rift raft. But just barely."
Ganon walked over and looked down through the glass to me.
"I see that Metriod Fusion has been a success."
Wario, with a sickening grin, spoke, "Yeah. She has gone through all of our tortures and still retained sanity and strength. Not to mention still being able to breathe."
"And we are sure that it was the experiment and not that this woman was just tougher then we though."
'Well," Wario said with a grin of ecstasy on him, "we tortured many people the same way, with same background as her. It is almost certainly the experiment."
"Good. But, I'm not here for our little chimera. I am here for the mouse."
"Ohhhh," swayed Wario, with a gross glee, "so your going to experiment on the little welch. Will he be able to scream louder."
"Possibly." Ganon stated neutrally, "I will take the rodent. Knock out the girl and take her to her cell."
Suddenly a gas was emitted in my glass pod. I tried to fight it, but I just couldn't and everything went black.
—
I groan. I'm back in this damn cell. No windows, a sliding door that is locked into place. All made of cold steel with no bed, sheet, and a small toilet to do the unpleasant things. I'm lucky, I got a toilet. I have seen into a few of the other cells and they are just steel traps with nothing in them. Probably perks for being their precious experiment.
Metriod Fusion, what horrible, unredeemable bastards. Those space jellyfish, brain sucking, monstrous demons, are now a part of me. I remember right after being experimented on and I was chained in a room of Metriods and none of them attacked me. They were so fucking please with themselves.
I hear some talking outside my door, I push up next to the cold metal just to get a glimmer of information.
A voice says, "Yo M, what are you doing here?"
I recognize that voice, DP. Well, his full name is Dark Pit (a stupid name if you ask me), but he prefers to be called DP. An angle like being with black wings, black outfit, and ruby eyes. He's a little bastard with a sadistic side, but compared to the others he's a saint.
"Just here to deliver some information." M said, with a weird combination of high pitch an low at the same time.
"Cool." DP said, a little disappointed.
"What's wrong." M asked.
"Well," DP said, a abashedly, "its just. The reason I left the heavens was to see the world, experience things, and not left the part of me loyal to a fault hold me back. But, I'm stuck here, and they won't let me leave."
"I am sorry," M said, with a hint of empathy making it though his voice, "but I have no control over it. I am just a messenger and a spy. If it means anything, I believe you have the proper training and ferocity to be out more."
I don't know why, I imagine DP smiling shyly. It felt odd.
"Thanks M. I see you later." DP said, rather quietly. I heard his footsteps fade away. But only one par of feet.
Suddenly my door slings open. I would have fallen on my face is that I caught myself quickly. I look up and the hallway is empty. I realize this my only time to escape. I get up and pelt down hall in the opposite direction that DP went. I have been dragged this way and I know there is an armory.
After about a minute of running (and luckily not seeing any guards) I reach the armory. I slip in with no one around. The seems just to be an emergency armory then a full stocked one. However, it will do. I quickly throw on a skin tight blue suite with blue boots. I grab a rubber band and tie my hair in a ponytail behind my head. I grab a gun that seemed to be able to switch between a regular plasma pistol and whip. I grab some more plasma amo just in case. I grab a few grenades and put a SET (Scanning Environment and Terran) on my head that covered my left eye. I finally grab a first aid pack that included some rations, just in case.
Once I had everything on I looked to see if there were other exits but the one I came in. I don't want to be easily tracked. I see an air vent opening. I grab a plasma knife (only about 2 inches) to cut open the vent and move in. Its about 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide. I get in, scout back a bit, grab the vent opening and put it in a place to look like it wasn't tampered with.
As I crawl I can hear people above and bellow me. I must be between floors. I check SET (I don't want to use it to much so as not to waste the power) and see that I am between the third and second floor. But the hanger is below the first floor. I look for a route with the least amount of security and see that if I enter the experimentation hall C, I can leave it and get through easier. I turn off SET and keep crawling, it would take about another 30 minutes, 40, to be more careful.
The alarm hasn't gone off yet, but I doubt that it would last much longer. But I just got to keep calm.
I reach the hatch. I look down to see if there was anyone. It seemed empty. But as I unhooked the hatch, I pulled out my gun. The hatch dropped open and I fell down, landing on my feet with my knees bending to absorb the shock. I turn all around to see if there were any enemies. There were none.
I take a deep breathe, as this is probably the last time I get to take a calming breathe. As I was about to leave I see a light behind me, so I turn quickly with my gun raised and I see the the yellow mouse from when I was tortured. He seems unconscious, emitting slight amounts of electricity. I feel slight pity for the poor beast, but I can't do anything for him bu-
"Help me."
I look down and see the little creatures eyes open, very weary and in pain.
"You can talk." I say, coldly and calmly.
"You can understand me?" As he was saying his sentence, his face had a shocked looked with his ears perking up.
"I speak human?"
"I assume so, since you are speaking with me now." I state.
After a moment of shock in his face, I thought he would start moving. But he is not even budging.
"Look," I say, which caught his attention, "I don't know, nor do I care, what this dilemma is. But, I assumer, we are both in enemy territory. And I would very much like to leave. Now, you don't seem like the sneaking type despite your size; but 2 people going through enemy territory to escape are better then 1. At least for now. So, decide quickly if you want to leave or not. If so get your head on straight, cause I want to leave now."
One heartbeat later, the creature said, "Yes, I want to leave."
"Good." I state. "My name is Samus."
"I am Pikachu."
"Lets go then." I say, turning around, hearing him jump lightly to the ground walking behind me.
—
We have been so fucking lucky. We got through the entire second floor without running into anyone or being in the view of a camera (thanks to SET locating and timing when the cameras where there and moving). There was a door that I had planned to use my plasma knife to open, but Pikachu gave a slight shock and that short circuited the door, bringing it open. Every once in a while Pikachu would emit some electricity, I honestly thought it would fuck us over hard, but Pikachu seems to be able to tell when its coming up so he shoots in a direction where it would be a distraction so we could sneak by.
However, we are now more then halfway to the first floor. We have to get in the hanger, which is just an elevator ride down, get a ship and blast off (the hanger only closes its doors in an emergency). The only real problem (besides the possibly of being spotted) is that the elevator is a couple mile trip down, as in 25 miles down. We slip in through the door to a much more industrial area then the clean steel of the halls. But their was the elevator over the bridge. We check that their was no one around and we move quickly to the elevator. We reach it and its locked.
"You think you can short this one out and let us in?" I ask.
Pikachu nods and gets in position but before he can do anything there was a screech. We are both stunned as the sound echo throughout the chamber. I have my gun at the ready scanning the area to see what caused that sound. I have SET on, having it try and find the origin of the sound. Then the bridge in front of us burst upward and toward us. I flip back with Pikachu zipping backwards to avoid the steel beam. We both look up to see a monster.
It was Ridley, I remember that bastard and I though I killed him. He's a lizard-dragon-alien hybrid that is as beastly as it looks. But he isn't an idiot, he was able to lead a band of space pirates, even if he is not he smartest cookie in the jar. Armor black scales with demon yellow eyes. He's about 8 feet tall crouching (never seen him stand up fully), with a wing span of about 12 feet. His tail did look robotic through, extending a good amount of his back.
I then hear a creak and I look back. The bridge was tipping down toward the hole. Me and Pikachu rush to get off the bridge, but I turn around and see that Ridley was heading right for the other end of the bridge. I make a snap decision, I grab Pikachu, and jump back, avoiding the dragon. I watched as he slammed into the bridge and it fell; and we fell along with it.
It wasn't over, cause Ridley aimed right at us. I start shooting at him before he could get a good shot at us. Pikachu jumped off my chest and burst forward with electricity knocking Ridley back, making him start to fall not fly. Ridley then takes a shot right at Pikachu, hitting him and knocking the little creature against the wall. He then dashed forward towards me so I throw a few bombs right at his face. It hit him causing him to ver to my left. So I switched my gun to a whip and stuck it to my right to avoid the pirate. He slammed into the elevator making a dent while I zipped past him.
As I give a quick glance down to see how far we are from crushing, the SET range an alarm. I look up and see the lizard charging to me again, shooting fireballs from his mouth at me. I shoot them with my gun, dispersing them. Right before he was to slam into me, Pikachu appeared in a ball of electricity, hitting the side of the dragon's head; knocking him away.
But, we weren't done yet. Ridley came swooping up. I barely avoided him, but he got me with his claws, but not to badly. He grabbed Pikachu, which was a mistake. Pikachu let loose, letting out some much electricity I could see the bottom (which looked about 10 miles away). I look up and see smoke coming off of the dragon as he was falling.
"Pikachu, come to me. We need to stop before we get squashed."
As I said it, I look and see Pikachu rocketing towards me. He jumped off the steel wall and landed in my arm.
"Hold on!" I scream, as I pull out my whip. We were getting close to a 3 miles to the bottom when I slammed wall with my whip and my boots. We slowly edged down (at least enough for Ridley to pass us). At about 1 mile to the bottom I do it again, then slow to a stop just 10 feet above the ground. I let out the breathe I didn't know I was holding in and jump down, bending my knees to make sure my legs don't break. We rush to the hanger, passing Ridley, who was still breathing.
We rush to the hanger, but we were immediately spotted by a couple of bots. I shoot them down while Pikachu shot electricity at them. They were easy compared to out fight with Ridley. We jump into a ship and turn it on. Lucky it worked and we blasted off. But we weren't done.
Several ships followed us through the hanger exit (which SET said is 5 miles long to gain speed), with the first launch at 4 miles.
"Open the hatch." Pikachu said.
"You got 20 seconds."
I open the hatch and all I saw was a giant shadow and bright light. I feel Pikachu jump off my shoulder behind me. I close the hatch with just seconds till we start launching. We finally started launching and I was being pushed back into my seat with the amount of G's being pushed into me. After a minute of being pushed so much I became unable to see, it stopped. I look down and see a planet with a mix of metal and dark purple mountains with lightning around them. Yeah, this isn't menacing at all. There was a flash of an alarm and see missiles heading our way. I push on the accelerator while preparing for hyper jump. But there is no hyper jump.
I look around in panic, but I am not familiar with the ship except for basic control. I was in such a rush I got into an unfamiliar ship. I'm a fucking idiot.
"What's wrong?" Pikachu asked.
"There is no light speed jump that I can recognize."
I push the ship as fast as it can go (which was very fast). We were losing the ships.
"Why aren't they following us?" I ask allowed.
I get my answer by an alarm. We are boarding the speed of light and apparently this ship was not designed for that.
"I don't see that terrible place anymore, but what is that alarm?" Pikachu asked, with some anxiety in his voice.
I look at the board and see a single, a fire mixed with the engine.
"The engine is overheating." I exclaim.
However, I see a planet. This ship was going boarding the speed of light.
I try to steadily slow the ship down while heading to the planet. The atmosphere of this planet was helping to slow down the ship, but even then we are heading for a crash.
"Brace yourself!" I scream.
As we reach the crust of the planet all I can think of was.
I am so fucked.
