Samus took off her suit.
"I have been going hungry and thirsty in the suit, too. It's supposed to grant me limitless life support, but I fear the corruption has altered it. Do you think I nee-" Samus was cut off by a sudden explosion 500 feet away. Something crawled out.
"What is that?... Samus?...What..." Jaken was confused.
Samus gasped.
"... Jaken. Run. Now. Go!" Samus was shouting at him by now. Jaken hissed angrily.
"Run with me sister!" he hissed.
"No! We can't! It can outrun both of us!"
"..."
"Dammit, Jaken, it's the SA-X! Ru-" Samus was cut off as Jaken threw a Multigrapple Beam and caught Samus in it. They started to run when the SA-X started speeding at them over 60mph.
"Speed Boost!" shouted Jaken. "It can run over 1000mph! It's no good to run!" After letting go of Samus, he fired the Multigrapple Beam at the SA-X, then sidestepped as it went dashing past. The speed was incredible, but, Jaken managed focus on it and use the beam to trip it over. The SA-X hissed angrily, then used Scew Attack and Space jump to approach them safely.
"You. Samus Aran... you are the one I seek..." the SA-X chanted, drifting in tone of voice, sounding exactly like Samus. Jaken threw another beam, caught the X doppelganger, then slammed it over and over into the ground. Samus picked up her dropped suit and put it on.

Been here since February 2004. It's May 2022 as of writing this. Wish Rich would revive this place. Guess I'm only here for the nostalgia now.
