5-amu5

The Phazon Beast

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

[Houston was blasted far into a building. The force of the impact didn't put him through completely but it was enough keep him pinned. 5-amu5 knew he was done for.]

Houston: I knew.... you were not.... Samus.... [He passed out though it was hard to tell with his helmet still on.]

The Eye: Let's go, I want to get the rest of the Phazon Beasts.

Alright.

[5-amu5 wasn't hungry for blood so he didn't care if he left Houston alive or dead. Instead he focused on finding where the secret base was and release these 'Phazon Beasts' of his. It was probably going to involve fighting the Superior and his personal troops but he didn't have that many. This wasn't going to be too tough, he thought. 5-amu5 could feel he was close and went deep into Diabon's systems. He knew he would end up finally seeing the Superior and whatever else that guy may have.....]

~To be continued in.....

             The Beastly Six!

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

[After a while of the struggle, only 5-amu5 and Houston were around standing. 5-amu5 knew he should have taken chunks out of Houston's energy level by now though Houston wasn't showing any signs of exhaustion.]

The Eye: Why haven't you taken him out yet?

He's more powerful then I thought.

The Eye: Fine, I'll let you use more of my power.

[Although 5-amu5 was just an A.I. now, he could feel the effects the Eye was having on him. His body started to transform as well, having large tentacles sprout from his back.]

I suggest you retreat Houston.

Houston: Not on your ugly life.

[5-amu5 didn't hold back and charged at Houston. He was faster and took Houston by surprise. Now with the new added tentacles, he could do more such as holding Houston's arm cannon down and pointed away from 5-amu5. Another held on to his free wrist. 5-amu5 was free to deal a direct attack to Houston.]

I told you, you should have retreated.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

The Eye: Who is this? Is it that creature Dark Samus?

No, that is Armstrong Houston. He is a bounty hunter and the only one besides Samus to have a Chozo Suit. He is not like Samus, though, and does things for money.

The Eye: Ah those creatures and currency. Well then take care of him so we can move on.

[5-amu5 fought back against Houston who was charging in with his attack.]

Houston: I've had enough of you Phazon creatures, how dare you attack Diabon.

Diabon is not the true target.

Houston: So you can talk huh? Well then what is the 'true target'?

That is not important.

Houston: You're right. Once I beat you back to wherever you came from, it won't matter what you were here for.

[Houston continued his attack, firing at 5-amu5 while he closed the gap that was between them. 5-amu5 retaliated with his own attack. It was then he noticed the change the Eye was having on his weapon. 5-amu5 wasn't able to use Phazon weapons but with the Eye he now was. 5-amu5 started to wonder what else he could do now.]

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

[The Federation was on high alert as 5-amu5 and the Eye touched down. A small 'door' opened up to let them out while the creature fought anything that was near. And just like the Eye said, the Tallon creature fell over and exploded with Phazon spreading in the area. It wasn't enough to convert the area, let alone the planet, but a few Federation troops were struck.]

The Eye: Where do we go now?

It should be nearby but I usually go in because of the ship I'm in. It does everything automatically.

The Eye: (Of course you have a ship.) Well then don't worry I will try and locate them. [After a few moments nothing changed though more Federation troops were swarming.] Damn, I can't sense them. Are you sure they are here?

Yes, this is where we were supposed to go.

The Eye: What was he going to do with the Phazon he got anyway?

I don't know, I never asked. I couldn't ask.

The Eye: Ah obedient robots, how nice.

[It was just then that the Federation troops were being backed up by a figure in blue Chozo armor.]

Houston: Stop right there monster!

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

[Diabon started to come into view. 5-amu5 reminded the Eye about how they were probably going to shoot them down and just then a swarm of Federation ships started to engage them.]

What are we going to do?

The Eye: You worry too much. I know it might be hard for a robot A.I. but have some faith!

[The ships were more advanced then when they first came into contact with Leviathan's and upgraded their weapons to fight against them. The ships were tearing through the Leviathan easy and even was causing it to fall apart until it exploded. Phazon released into space but didn't last in the vacuum. The Federation ships started to head back, believing that they won, until a small piece emerged. A much smaller and more agile Leviathan rocketed toward Diabon now. It maneuvered around the Federation defense and aimed at the capital.]

What just happened?

The Eye: This is another form to the Leviathan. It is smaller and faster then the other one but lacks the ability to infect other planets. We don't use it that often. I call it the Talon because it looks like one. They also don't live that long either without their Phazon core so that's why I waited until the last second to do this. Once we land, it will die and we will be stuck but we can figure that out later.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

[The Leviathan left Phaaze pretty easily. 5-amu5 didn't have many files on how to fly it so the Eye was pretty much left in charge of that.]

The Eye: Okay, now that we are here, I have to ask you, where did the rest of the containers you creatures took?

You mean the PED Soldiers?

The Eye: Yes, whatever they are called. I want to know where you took that pure Phazon.

They took it back to Diabon as they were ordered.

The Eye: Great, then that is where we are going.

We can't just go to Diabon, the planet is protected against Leviathan's.

The Eye: I have my way, don't worry. You see, there is more to a Leviathan then meets the eye. This is something that only I or one of the other Phazon Beasts can do.

What is that?

The Eye: You'll see.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

Do you want to do what that guy said?

The Eye: Not really. I would rather they both died to be honest. He is the source of this Purple Phazon and I want the other one to die just purely for revenge. Now, where is this 'Zebes'?

Zebes is a planet that once belonged to the Chozo. It is located in the system known as FS-176. It was also where Samus Aran was raised but the planet eventually got taken over by Mother Brain and the Space Pirates. Samus Aran went on one mission there to retrieve a baby Metroid that ended with the Metroid's death as well as the destruction of the planet.

The Eye: So he wants me to go to a planet that was already destroyed?

Zebes was brought back by unknown means and continues to be the base of operations for the Space Pirates and Mother Brain.

The Eye: Oh, then that explains it.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

The Eye: As much as I would hate to say it, sure. Then afterwards I am going to find a nice secluded planet to infect and hopefully not lose another planet.

[The Eye relinquished speaking control. 5-amu5 was fine if he spoke since 5-amu5 himself didn't understand what was going on. Everything he knows is based on Federation files.]

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

The Eye: Well I am a Phazon being so it's possible I could be able to remove the Phazon from this creature. Usually we spend our time doing the opposite of that though..... I can also effect Leviathan's and tell them what to do. But, if this creature is using another form of Phazon then I have no control over it. I can only control the normal blue all the way up to its purest form. Anything else is not made by me.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

The Eye: [His eye narrowed.] A Phazon Being you said? Yes, that would explain why it was able to take hold of the last Phaaze..... [He trailed off, thinking about the problem at hand.] That creature is not a true Phazon being like myself however. Whatever it began as, must be able to control Phazon. That being said, there wouldn't be some form of weakness to kill it, like a stone or weapon, the way to kill it would be to take the Phazon away.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

The Eye: Maybe. [5-amu5 instinctively turns so that the Eye can keep his eye on the figure.] I don't keep track of everything though. Leviathan's have been sent out for ages to who knows where. And I don't leave save for that one time that creature called Dark Samus blew up my last planet.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

The Eye: Centuries pass and I'm just a nobody? Well what should I expect? Anyway, I'm more then just a resident, I AM Phazon. More or less I suppose but still Phazon. I was woken up from my slumber just a little while ago. Threw off my sleep schedule for a few hundred years too thank you very much.

[The Eye continued to focus on the creature. His eye showing all the emotion needed for his words.]

The Eye: It's complicated but I guess you can say I'm special. This creature I use is just a pawn so I can avoid all this whole Purple Phazon nonsense. I can also talk through him too.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

[5-amu5 knew there were no files on him though he knew that he wasn't truly Samus Aran. That part was clear.]

I am 5-amu5. I am on a mission from the Galactic Federation to retrieve Phazon. My orders are clear.

[5-amu5 suddenly couldn't speak as he could feel the Eye was moving his way up to speak himself. His eye was still focused on the figure before them.]

The Eye: You must be the one who is infecting my planet! I don't take kindly to things like that. I don't know what is up with creatures coming in and taking over.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

Back on Daibon....

[The PED Team had touched down back on Daibon and the leader opened up communications to the Superior.]

PED Leader: Sir! We got the Phazon as requested.

The Superior: Good. But what of 5-amu5?

PED Leader: Unknown. 5-amu5 was supposed to leave after us but we don't know if he made it. The planet began to change and forced us to leave.

The Superior: Change? How?

PED Leader: The planet was being infected with a purple substance. We believe it was a different form of Phazon but couldn't be sure. The surface was also covered in spires. We got as much Pure Phazon as we could.

The Superior: That is fine then. I will look into this more. You are relieved.

PED Leader: Sir!

[Once the communication ended, the Superior opened another to Eggman.]

The Superior: All is good on my end.

Eggman: That is excellent. I knew this partnership would come in handy! I'm just putting the finishing touches on the army you will use.

The Superior: Everything is coming together nicely.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

The Eye: Ah, yes, there is one. It seems to be in good working order too. Take me to it!

[5-amu5 was willing to do so as he started to head toward the large beast. There were few files on the Leviathan's and from what 5-amu5 found out was that they were living creatures who were used to infect other planets with Phazon. He continued to make his way until a figure came down before them]

The Eye: Who is that?

There are no files on him from what I can tell.

The Eye: Make him go away. I can sense the Purple Phazon on him as well.

I am 5-amu5. [Now that the barriers were down, 5-amu5 didn't feel resistance to talk about himself.] Though I am not of your concern.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

[The two have been wandering around Phaaze for a while. They continued to speak mentally on the way. 5-amu5 had told The Eye what happened before coming to Phaaze.]

The Eye: Samus? Why does that name sound familiar?

I have a picture of her as is in her file.

The Eye: That looks like the one who blew up my last planet! And that was a human?!

Oh yes, Samus along with the Galactic Federation defeated Dark Samus and caused Phaaze to explode. It was assumed that Phazon went with it.

The Eye: Yeah that part is complicated.... no real point getting into it. Oh and don't get me started on that creature by the way. What did you call it? Dark Samus?

Yes, Dark Samus has a connection to Phazon and Phaaze though no one is sure where she came from.

The Eye: Either way it, or she I guess, owes me a new planet. And the other one. Oh and this Galactic Federation too! They all owe me a new planet!

What is it that you are looking for anyway?

The Eye: Oh, yeah, that. I'm looking for a Leviathan. I'm hoping there is one that isn't tainted with the Purple Phazon though. I am keeping the current levels away, including what is in the air, but I can't cure a whole Leviathan.

[5-amu5atfacetroid]

Purple Phazon?

The Eye: Yeah, it came out of nowhere. There are a ton of different colored Phazon too. Nobody is happy with good ol' blue.

There were records showing that the other colored Phazon were much stronger.

The Eye: Oh aren't you the expert? I didn't realize I was talking to a Phazon Entity! [He rolled his eye as he said that sarcastically. 5-amu5 didn't have a concept of sarcasm, or of any emotion, so he didn't get it.]

I'm not a Phazon Entity.

The Eye: I was being sarcastic. You don't get out much do you?

No, I am only needed for missions by the Superior.

The Eye: Ah, yes, I saw something about that when I looked into your mind. I also removed the barriers that this Superior of yours put up. You're welcome.
