Subspace Research Facility, Universe-2001045

In a part of the facility, a foot kicked down on a ventilation cover and someone zipped down on a rope. This was Samus Aran, only wearing her Zero Suit and her rather useless emergency pistol as her weapon. She got out her pistol and whispered into her commlink, "Agent 22, I'm in. I'll be in and out with the Power Suit."

"Good. Best of luck, Samus." 22's voice said.

She charged up her pistol and began to find out where her suit was. After going up an elevator and using some stealth...a R.O.B. suddenly caught her and she kicked it. The kick was loud enough to attract a few more. Samus sighed. Well, guess I'm going to have to use another tactic...

She kicked a R.O.B., shot another one with her pistol, and snapped the other's head off which was rather easy thanks to her training.

After traversing through the numerous R.O.B.s and maze-like hallways of the facility miraculously without triggering any sort of alarm. She found a door that said, "Authorized Personel only! Do not enter otherwise!"

Samus smirked as she knew that her Power Suit would be there. She opened the door and continuously aimed her pistol at parts of the room as a form of security and to make sure no one was in there. She kept walking forward until she heard a lightning sound and gasped as she saw a creature cry out in pain at being trapped inside a device.

The creature was covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back, long, pointed ears with black tips, brown eyes, cheeks with red circles, short forearms with five fingers on each paw, its feet each have three toes and at the base of his lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. The creature looked at Samus and cried, "Chaaa..."

Samus sighed and then gasped as the device powered up again and zapped the creature. The creature screamed and cried out in even more pain. Samus couldn't stand to see the creature suffer anymore and activated her plasma whip on her pistol. With her whip, she smashed through the device and the creature stepped out. Suddenly, numerous alarms sounded, and a swarm of R.O.B.s appeared. The creature growled and electricity sparked from its cheeks. Samus certainly knew that the creature was angry.

"Pika...CHUUUUU!!!" the creature released a lightning bolt from its tail and destroyed the R.O.B.s in minutes.

Samus chuckled and knelt at the creature's level. "That was...impressive. What's your name?"

"Pikachu." the creature said.

"Pikachu? What were you being used for...You must've been serving as one of the batteries for these monsters...But don't worry. You're safe with me now. I'm Samus Aran."

"Pi, pi, pi, Pikachu!" Pikachu lied on the ground and curled and rolled around while saying, "Pikaaaa...!"

Samus couldn't help but blush and giggle a small bit. Suddenly, her comm came on and 22's voice said, "Samus? Are you okay? Numerous alarms came on and I'm picking up massive energy readings flying toward the base."

"Oh, 22," Samus answered. "I'm fine. I just...got a little sidetracked. I saved the facility's battery or implied source of power. It's a small yellow mouse...whom I'm slowly starting to be attracted towards."

"What's its name?"

"Pikachu. And it appears that is the only thing it says."

"Well, you two have attracted almost everything in this facility. Get the Power Suit and get out of there as fast as you can."

"Affirmative."

Samus turned off her comm and turned to Pikachu. "I believe we have a common enemy here. Why don't we ally and take down the Subspace?"
