Scene 20: Power Up
Samus and Pikachu sneak into a large, dimly lit chamber, where Samus' power suit stands in a stasis field on a platform at the center.
Samus: Well, here it is.
Pikachu: Pika pika pika pika pikachu?
Suddenly, the bridge to the center of the room retracts, stranding Samus and Pikachu on the platform. Two False Samus suits emerge from opposite sides of the platform and face Samus and Pikachu, who both prepare for battle.
Samus: I should've known this was a trap.
Pikachu: (confidently) Pi pi pikachu. Pika pika.
(later)
The False Samus suits disintegrate into Shadow Bugs that float away. Samus stares at her power suit and prepares to deactivate the stasis field. An alarm sounds, prompting the bridge to extend and an army of R.O.B.s to charge in. Samus quickly dons her power suit and blasts all the R.O.B.s away with her arm cannon.
Pikachu: (awestruck) Chu…
Samus: What? Surprised? So am I.
Samus and Pikachu leave the room side by side.
Samus: Come on. We've got to get out of here before more robots show up.
Pikachu: Pika pi, pika. Pika pi.
(later)
Samus and Pikachu come into a gigantic chamber with a high ceiling.
Samus: This must be the hangar. Now, if only we could commandeer a—
Suddenly, Ridley swoops in out of nowhere, grabs Samus, takes her high into the air, slams her against the wall, and grinds her along it. Pikachu jumps high into the air.
Pikachu: PIKA!
He calls down a lightning bolt that strikes Ridley, forcing him to drop Samus and fall to the ground below. Samus lands first and staggers to her feet. Ridley clutches his head, shakes it, and roars menacingly.
(later)
Samus and Pikachu exit the chamber together and look upon some ruins in the middle of a field.
Samus: I know you can't speak the same language I can, Pikachu, but thanks for saving me back there.
Pikachu: Chu. Pika pika. Pika pika pi, pika pi pi pi pi pikachu.
Samus: Sounds like you were simply returning the favor. Well, I guess that makes us even.
Samus notices a group of R.O.B.s entering and exiting a tunnel in the distance with Subspace Bombs in tow.
Samus: Well, it looks like our work here isn't done yet.
She primes her arm cannon, and Pikachu charges his cheeks with electricity.
Pikachu: Pika.
