The flat, barren terrain stretched for miles. The cracked ground screams for rain, for life, but not even the smallest of creatures lie underfoot. A few hundred yards from Samus stood a man or at least, she thought it was a man. A quick analysis of Dr. Doom’s suit did nothing to confirm or deny this fact, but it did reveal that this entity’s appearance had deceived Samus.
What Dr. Doom’s armor lacked in style, it made up for in raw power. A reality that he shared with his enemy by leaping skyward releasing an energy blast below. No matter Samus thought, she had fought unimaginable beings of immeasurable power and succeeded. She proved this by activating her defenses and absorbing the blast. As the shield goes down, Samus breaks into a full on sprint towards her enemy. Doom sends a second blast her way, but she transforms into a tight sphere and evades it. Moments later she’s back on her feet again closing the gap between her and her enemy. As Samus nears her adversary, she releases a blast of her own from her cannon which Dr. Doom takes and falls backward. With a flick of the wrist, Samus grapples Doom’s leg preparing to swing him into a titanic throw.
It never happens though.
As the chain licks the steel of Doom’s armor it conducts a charge down the link effectively neutralizing the weapon as well as Samus’ defenses.
“Do you really think a single trivial blast could cause me to fall? Silly.”
Samus is running again. Running away. Absorbing not an option. Evading not an option. There is now only the hurried pace of her feet meeting the dust below. A surge of energy causes Samus to stumble and fall hard into the ground. Doom pressing forwards, arm extended, continues to electrocute his opponent. In desperation, Samus charges her cannon to maximum power and releases it against the ground beneath her dieing body.
A crater forms as Samus flies like a rag doll through the air behind her opponent. Nearing the ground, Samus completes one final move of dexterity to land on her feet despite her damaged state.
“Very impressive. Pointless, but impressive nonetheless.”
Doom is engulfed in flame as Samus in an act of desperation covers her opponent with her flame thrower. Effortlessly stepping through the fiery assault, Doom grabs Samus by the arm and throws her upward. On her way up, she is hit with a devastating blast to the back. When her body falls, there isn’t any life left in her for a last ditch effort. There isn’t any life left in her at all.
“Enjoyable. Who’s next?”
