Retry and Mikerus opened another door. They had passed through three empty rooms, well not completely empty, but nothing of importance. The two continued on, and found a huge room with projections along the walls to make it seem like a creature's enviroment. Mikerus could recognize the enviroment, but not the creature that matches it. "I think this is the enviroment of a... um... I can't remember." Mikerus said. Mikerus turned around, so he was right in front of Retry. "I remember it was very dangerous, and it had a bunch of powerful abilities. If only I could remember what it was..." Mikerus said. Retry could see a large creature appear behind Mikerus. "Duck!" He shouted. "Its not a duck, it was something e-" "No! I mean duck!" Retry said as he grabbed him down. The creature's arm went right over them. It would have killed Mikerus if they hadn't gotten down. "It's a Phelrous, I just remembered. Its weakness is the mouth, but the arms and size protect it." Mikerus said. "So we have to get to its mouth to kill it?" Retry said. Retry observed the creature, it had to be about fifty feet tall, with four vine-like arms that continuously swung around the room. And the mouth, its only weak spot, was only accessible by stopping the arms, which, according to Mikerus, were lightning fast.
One arm stomped down right in front of Mikerus, sending him flying through a window to the next room. The gaping hole was immediately covered by a thick metal sheet. Retry turned his attention to the Phelrous, which had its tentales all raised. They punded down on him, or where he was, for he was barrel-rolling out of the way so fast. When he was close to a wall, he started to walk up it, then flipped off of it, spinning as he did so. He landed at the opposite side of the room. He leapt through the air, shooting Arm Laser blasts into its mouth. It launched an arm toward Retry. He dashed up to the mouth, but another arm whopped him in the stomach. He was sprawled out on the floor. Retry stood up, "Congratulations, you just pissed me off."
Samus charged up a Wave Beam and fired it at the door that hid the Pirate scientist. It opened and the Pirate ran out, shooting at her with a copy of the Power Beam. She charged another Wave blast. The pirate was near dead on the floor. She shot it one last time, killing it. The door opened, and she could finally leave. She saw the room to her left had been unlocked as well. She fired at the door, and it slid open. She entered and saw a few computer modules, holo-screens all over the place, and a cleared off table. One thing really caught her eye: another open door. She dashed through each room, the doors opening on command. She stopped once she came to a large, oval-shaped room. In front of her was a large window of glass. She walked up to it, and peered through. She watched in awe.
Retry grappled onto two of the Phelrous' different arms. He pulled them together, and launched the newly bundled arms at the wall. He front flipped over its mouth, launching Arm Laser shots into it. The creature broke free of Retry's cuff-like bind, and slammed down all four in front of Retry. "Retry!" Mikerus screamed. Retry stepped back, "What?" he asked. "You can only kill it by freezing its insides, then an impact on its outside will shatter those organs. Take this!" Mikerus said as he threw an Ice Arm Laser to Retry. Retry caught it and turned it on after putting it on his wrist. His arm started to spasm, and it jerked so violently that it flew off of his arm, right into Phelrous' mouth. "Just great! Do you have another one?" Retry asked. "We won't be needing one, the readings show it landed right in the first of its layered organs. The layers are made up of organs and arteries, the bottom layer is the heart. The other layers don't matter, because the heart will keep it alive. Unfortunately, the arms will remain undeterred until the heart is gone. I wouldn't be able to help you, I'd get killed. Each layer the Arm Laser touches gets frozen. Phazon Punches only work when it hits the actual body, not the arms. Good luck, you'll need it." Mikerus shouted. Retry walked up to the creature. "Let's go." He said.
Anthony was as confused as Samus was when he saw the lack of Space Pirates. "Isn't this a Space Pirate base?" He wondered. He kept walking forward, room through room. Nothing at all was left. He rushed forward and came across the Lab of Retry's creation. He walked through and observed the different vials of Phazon, acid, and other toxins. He scanned the computers, gathering all of the files and sending them back to the Plozzor Inum. The elevator came back down, and he was met with a Disk Grenade in the face.
Retry flipped over the Phelrous, Phazon punching it upon his landing. Two arms went to his left, and two to his right. They started to slide along the floor, sweeping over anything in its way. Retry slid under two of them and started to run away from the others. The four arms stomped down in front of him and headed right at him. The time he turned around to run, they already knoked him over. The arms were already across the room, he had his chance to attack. He Phazon punched it again, destroying another layer of its organs. The creature hacked up some blood and a large shard of a frozen arterie. Retry touched the blood, and then the arterie.
Samus went from watching in awe to watching in horror. She saw the blood get sucked up by Retry, and the arterie piece was little red dust. He had absorbed all of the energy from them. She could see him do a back flip, then launch himself off the wall and Phazon punched the Phelrous again. The creature's arms formed a wall, which went in front of Retry and pushed him up to a wall. He tried to Phazon punch them away. It worked, and two of them came right at Samus.
After getting himself out of the creature's grip, Retry saw two of the arms head toward one of the glass windows. They crashed through them, and started to move around in it. "They must've found something. Hopefully something that can help me" Retry thought, he saw what the huge arms brought out. "Well, so much for that." Retry thought. "What are you doing here?" Retry said. Running towards her, charging a Phazon punch. One of the arms shot out in front of him, and swept him back. "Damnit!" He shouted, landing on his back. "Haha!" Samus said, laughing at him. An arm went directly in front of her, and flicked her to the wall. Taking advantage of the arm that was still, he jumped on it and started to run down it. When he was close he front flipped over the mouth, he saw that there was only one layer left before the heart. Mid-flip, he Phazon punched the Phelrous again. He was close to killing it, but the arms sped up, and stomped down on the ground, cracking it. Retry didn't notice, because right after the floor was cracked, the arms started battering Retry. The arms knocked him against the wall, and they kept hitting him. He noticed a chance, if he could Phazon punch to the right and left, the four arms would be knocked away. He was about to execute his plan, when he saw three small purple lasers wave through the air and hit one arm. They all focused their attention on Samus. Retry saw his chance to finish the Phelrous. One arm went in front of him, and he slid under it. The remaining arms formed a wall to block him. He jumped over it, spinning, and jumped off of it. He got close enough to Phazon punch it. His fist turned blue, as it does each time he charges up a Phazon punch. He outstretched his arm, destroying the creature, but it still had a bit of life left in it.
Only enough to hit the ground once more, but it was effective. The ground was destroyed and everything in the center of the room started to fall. Samus, being on the part of the room closer to the wall. The four arms went up, and Retry jumped on one, then to the other. He was able to jump to the edge of the remaining part of the room. He pulled himself up, and turned around. He saw the Phelrous fall to the next room, and it fell to the next, and the next, and then it fell on the last floor. Before any air started to get sucked away, metal started to come out of the wall and cover the holes in each floor. Retry turned around, and went up to Mikerus. "Samus, I'll let you live because you helped me a little. But remember, next time we meet you're dead." He said. He and Mikerus went in the next room. Samus saw it lock, and metal came down, covering the upper part of the room. Samus tried to jump to the upper part of the room, but the door locked in front of her and a metal wall blocked her from getting to the upper area. She then heard a screech. Ridley's screech.
