Samus
"Okay...this place looks a bit...something out of an SCI-FI movie..." Ash muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the landscape that surrounded him.
Once again thrust into a new battle stage following his encounter with Link, the World Champion found himself on Planet Zebes, a realm unlike any he had encountered before. The stage consisted of a rough, jagged base, with three main platforms positioned above it. At the far right of the stage, a smaller platform ascended and descended intermittently. Hazardous acid bubbled and seethed below, threatening to submerge the lower portions of the stage and occasionally rising to engulf two of the three platforms. However, the acid never reached high enough to pose a threat to the topmost platform, offering a precarious but manageable battleground for Ash's next challenge.
"I wonder... if I'm going to encounter some aliens," Ash mused with a hint of humor in his voice, his eyes darting around the otherworldly landscape of Planet Zebes.
Soon, Ash's attention was drawn forward by the sound of heavy footsteps echoing across the alien terrain. With wide eyes, he turned to face the new challenger, who was clad in a formidable golden-yellow Power Suit with a striking green visor. Unbeknownst to Ash, the armored suit concealed a young woman with blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. Her name was Samus.
"Oh, wow... are you some kind of robot?" Ash asked in awe, his curiosity piqued by the imposing figure before him.
Samus halted her pace, her expression hidden behind the visor of her Power Suit. Annoyance flickered in her eyes at Ash's mistaken assumption, and she raised her Arm Cannon in response, causing Ash to instinctively raise his arms in surrender.
"Whoa!" Ash exclaimed, his voice tinged with panic as he realized the gravity of the situation. "I didn't mean to call you a robot! Please don't shoot!" he pleaded, his tone desperate as he tried to defuse the tense standoff.
Samus took a moment to study Ash's features, her gaze lingering on his youthful appearance. Despite being her opponent, she couldn't help but notice his boyish charm and endearing demeanor. Ash shifted uncomfortably under Samus's scrutiny, feeling a mix of nervousness and confusion at the sudden change in atmosphere. With a thoughtful pause, she lowered her Arm Cannon.
Ash sighed in relief as he lowered his arms to his sides, grateful for Samus's understanding. However, his moment of reprieve was short-lived. Just as he began to relax, a slight smirk crossed Samus's visor-covered face, signaling her intent.
In a swift and unexpected motion, Samus fired a missile at Ash. The projectile hurtled towards him with alarming speed. With widened eyes and a gasp of alarm, Ash barely had time to react before the missile detonated in a blinding explosion, engulfing him in its fiery blast.
KAA-BBOOOOOOOOMMMM!
Well...at least Samus thought Ash was cute. xD Next up is...Yoshi!
