Chapter 4: Just Keep Rollin` Along
"Samus, look out!"
"Yes, I see the large rolling creature coming straight at me, and yes, I will dodge it!"
"No, I was just going to mention the large rock falling at us!"
With a rapid dodge I not only avoid being crushed, but I also get the creature smashed. Now that is one large stone for a single bird.
"Samus, it is a Core-X, watch yourself."
"Well, what now! I have no missiles to get through the shell!"
"You are in Chozo lands, there is a chance you may find something, and hurry."
I begin my rapid search as the X begins to form up into one of the most annoying form one can take. What I wouldn't give for a missile.
"Samus, up there!" says Adam, while he highlights it on my HUD.
"I see it, just have to scale a cliff is all."
"Watch out, here it comes!"
I quickly jump to the side and grab onto a ledge as a massive shell of a Core-X hits the cliff wall.
"Samus, get up there!"
"What, do you think I am doing, taking a nap?" I spit at him. The X shakes off and tries again. With a rapid movement I lunge upwards and grab on higher up. Just a little farther. It smashes in to the wall, always just moments after I move. Just barely staying ahead of it I manage to get to the cave. Inside is a small object, to most it would look like a hunk of metal, useless and worthless. To me it is the thing between life and death. Grabbing it my suit instantly integrates the feature.
"There we go, missiles. Time to get to work!" I shout with great enthusiasm, mostly because I stand a chance.
"Samus, aim on the highlighted aria, the shell is weaker there from all the smashing it has been doing." Adam informs me with a great urgency as the Core-X comes level with us.
I fire off three missiles, each making contact and causing the shell to fall away in shatter pieces. Bingo, you are mine now you pest.
I jump and absorb the X before it can get away. My systems begin a diagnostic immediately, and now I have my morph ball, so far so good.
