The screech was loud. Very loud. Loud enough to make Retry and Mikerus, who were already speeding ahead to avoid running into Samus, started to speed up, not wanting to take place in the battle. Samus saw Ridley crash through the ceiling. The second he hit the ground, a dozen missles were launched from a noticable metal casing on its head. It looked like some sort of armor, made specifically to shoot missles. The missles, except one, hit the walls, the remaining one hitting Samus in the chest. She fell back and saw Ridley hovering over her. She put her left middle finger and index finger together and put them on her helmet. An orange node appeared on Ridley's chest, and she aimed at it. Saving to Log-Book She heard, after seeing a file open in front of her. Missle Ridley it read, Strength: 980/1000 Weakness: Its own missles. Missle-Ridley can control the missles. No weapons can deflect the missles. Missle-Ridley dropped to the ground and launched a dozen more missles, all locked on to Samus.
A quick backflip or two, as the Chozo had taught, could help you quite a bit. Samus' training for this included a large, spiked mass of vines that were hooked onto the walls. They would then release them one by one and they'd come at her quickly. The training hurt at first, but that made her determined to work on her speed. Now, the training the Chozo forced her to take would help her. Already, the training where spikes rose from the floor and she had to jump away from them help her in each part of her missions. She rapidly started to avoid the onslaught of missles. She shot one with her Wave Beam, but it blew up, causing the others to explode, too. She avoided the explosions, but Missle-Ridley's tail came at her from the side, knocking her down.
Never knowing exactly why, Anthony Higgs always hated elevators. They always took too long, they gave him headaches, and the music. The damned music! Always horribly obnoxious, and it was always too loud. He was lucky, Space Pirates don't play music on their elevators. He stepped out as the elevator stopped at the next floor. He continued through the rooms that Retry and Samus had gone through. He found himself in the hallway, and caught a glimpse of a Space Pirate scientist sneaking down the hallway. He ran up to him, his Arm Lasers charged. The scientist pounded his fist on the wall, and it slid open, revealing a hidden room. The Space Pirate ran in, and Anthony followed. He saw the Pirate take a large, pointed gun with two large handles off of a rack. The Pirate pointed towards Anthony with the gun's square point. The Pirate banged the gun on the floor, and the side he banged it on lit up blue. The tip rotated and he banged it again until all sides were lit up. Then, the corners split and it became a five barreled gun. The five different parts swirled together to for a large orb, which then launched hundreds of Arm Laser blasts at Anthony.
Samus quickly jumped back up and charged up her Wave Beam. She jumped up and shot Missle-Ridley in the head. It started to wobble back and forth, as if it was half concious. It then launched a dozen slow moving missles. Samus shot the missles and they turned back at Missle-Ridley, and the dragon was enveloped in flames. It regained its full conciousness and flapped its wings to remove the flames. It flew up in the air and launched more missles at Samus. She shot it in the head with the Wave Beam and it crashed to the ground, right on top of her.
Samus rolled out of the way, but a wing still knocked her down. She quickly crawled out from under the wing, and stood up. Missle-Ridley launched a line of missles at Samus, and she knocked them back, harming it once again. Missle-Ridley flew up to the very top of the room, and launched missle after missle. Samus ran up to the wall and kicked off to the other side, avoiding the ring of missles. She kept going up until she was near Missle-Ridley's head. She charged up her Wave Beam again, and fired it in Missle-Ridley's face.
Samus slid down the wall as Missle-Ridley fired missles. All of the missles turned right back at it, however, and soon its wings, legs and arms were destroyed. It launched one final Super Missle, which destroyed the head except for the metal casing, which contained the Missle Launcher system. It fell to the ground with a clank and Samus picked it up. "Missle and Super Missle regained." Samus sighed, and activated her Com Link. "Sazel, I've obtained the Missle and Super Missle systems." With that, she entered the now open passageway to the door, and entered.
"You're serious?" Retry and Mikerus asked, both equally shocked. "Yes, a full set of the most powerful Arm Lasers known to exist. Too bad they are so far into the facility, but well worth it." A Space Pirate scientist replied. "So, nobody knows about them outside of the facility?" Retry asked, staring at his Silver Arm Lasers with disappointment. "No, even Samus doesn't have a clue of the powerful weapon in that room. Of course the room is surrounded by obstacles, like doors that recquire a puzzle to be solved." The scientist said. "Well that should be cool, plus we get an upgrade," Retry turned to Mikerus, "I'll give you my Silver ones once we get there." The three of them activated MechaGuard 5434, an advanced defense robot. Then, they all set out to find the set of Golden Arm Lasers in the next floor of the facility.
