Katie

I am Katie Kennet, high ranking leader of the purging group known as the Kennets. If you should dare to cross me or my plans to hunt the man known as Blujay, I will make it a top priority to remove you from existence. Should be tagged as katieatfacetroid

[katieatfacetroid]

*As Katie walks to the window after leaving the Armory, she notices something.*

That's strange... the darkness of outer space has turned... purple. And the stars, are cyan? Is this normal in your universe?

[katieatfacetroid]

Now? We begin our domination. There is no one more suited and understanding of this Realm than you. We will stretch our reign across the stars, and with you at my side, dear Samus, there is very little that can oppose us.

And now that dear Blujay is out of the way, we can start with Earth.

[katieatfacetroid]

*Katie leads Samus into the true armory of the Kennets, where in the center is a table with an anti-gravitational device on top that glows white. The Mistress types in a command into a nearby holographic keypad, and a circular hatch opens from the ceiling.*

While you were unconscious, we did some research on your Varia Suit and were able to create a compatible module that will hone in your Kennet prowess to its maximum potential.

*From the ceiling, a large, glowing, cylindrical container drops onto the table from the hatch, but is caught by the anti-gravity machine, causing it to float in front of them. It glows red, and through the glass, the image of a digitalized red V, the symbol of the Kennets—arching with red electricity—can be recognized.*

This is the Kennet Suit. This adjustment will not only give your suit a cherry red color scheme with glowing pink accents, but it will allow the Enlightenment to interact with your suit to allow for even faster cognitive reaction and more efficient power output. The suit is also far more durable against energy and ice based attacks, and permit locked-in communication channels with any and all Kennet units within a respective radius. It also comes with one other upgrade: the Kennet Beam. Your suit will be equipped with Enlightenment Serum to use against foes whom you'd like to convert. However, using too much of it may damage your suits Energy Cells. We’re looking into developing the technology further to avoid that mishap.

When you’re ready, please step forward and accept the module.

*Katie shakes her head in disappointment.*

(To herself) “Galaxy’s most famous bounty hunter, and she doesn’t even know... tsk tsk tsk.”

Alright, follow me. Let’s get you suited up and more familiar with your Sisters.

[katieatfacetroid]

*Katie stared inquisitively into Samus’ eyes.”

Interesting. I’ll need to take a look at that. You shouldn’t be having that free range of speech, let alone making threats and asking questions. Perhaps that’s the sacrifice of keeping your brain intact.

No matter.

*Katie’s eyes shimmer with a brighter red, sending resonating waves of screeching pain into Samus’ head.*

You know, Samus, I like your personality and all—very becoming of a Kennet. But if you give me any more trouble, perhaps I’ll simply strip your brain clean and start from scratch. The Enlightenment is one with you now, and I am its mistress.

So I’d watch your words if I were you, Samus. They could be your last.

[katieatfacetroid]

*The dark particles merge together slowly but surely as the echoing of menacing laughter fills the air...*

GrehehheheahahhaaAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHH!!!!

*Suddenly, the particles take their form completely into the shape of a giant translucent hand, who's palm glows with an eerie red essence. Trickles of purple electricity arc to the floor from its palm to its fingertips.*

We meet again, alien. Or as the lady calls you, “Blujay Aramada”!

[katieatfacetroid]

His determination is admirable, but misplaced. He oftentimes aims for the little things and never quite gets the big picture. 

*Katie notices the glimmer of pink which has overcome Samus’ irises. She observes Samus’ transformation and smiles.*

You are indeed more glorious than I expected. You will be a champion to lead our sisters to victory. Samus Kennet, welcome to our family.

[katieatfacetroid]

*Katie laughs*

What? Do you mean Master Hand? Yes, I am very well aware of this “guardian” you speak of. I do think that he will not live to see the end of this.

Because you see, I made a deal with someone. I’m not the only one around these parts that wants to see the great Hand dead. And the best part? He promised I could keep you... my tool for victory.

*Katie broke the ice which held Blujay in place.*

Guards! Take him to the Vector Chamber. Our client wishes to have a chat with him.

*Four Kennet Guards approached Blujay on both sides, lethal blades protruding from their robotic arms in a threatening demeanor. Blujay reluctantly followed, watching the struggling Samus who still knelt on the floor, gasping for breath.*

[katieatfacetroid]

*Katie watches as the changes begin to take affect on Samus, and takes a step back in case any violent convulsions should cause the bounty hunter to lash out erratically. She looks to Blujay and smirks, watching the horror on his face as he began to admit defeat.*

[katieatfacetroid]

Then without goodness, you lack weakness.

And without weakness, you lack fear. 

*Katie plunges the syringe into Samus’ neck, and the glowing red fluid flows into her neck, up into her carotid, flushing throughout her brain. The moment it hits the bloodstream, the red venom turns into a dark-purple bile, which sprouts and weaves throughout Samus’ veins. The Mistress removes her syringe, watching as the bounty hunter begins to evolve into what she would soon see as one of the finest Kennets she has ever seen.*

[katieatfacetroid]

(Finally.)

*Katie approaches Samus, the bounty hunters’ head above the ice.*

You will be remembered, Samus. Your feats will be told from generation to generation. But now your glory begins. 

Any last words?

[katieatfacetroid]

*A hint of frustration at Samus’ refusal to comply makes itself known on her face, but she shrugs it off with a smile. Why shouldn’t the great and glorious Samus Aran surrender herself without a fight? It only made her demise all the more legendary.*

*But then the thought vanishes, and Katie thrusts her hand to Samus’ feet, freezing moisture flying at full force at the ground. The moisture weaves through the flooring and underneath Samus, erupting into a wall of ice that blocks her path. She, with her other hand, sends a blast of ice towards Samus, hoping to adhere her to the wall of ice. This is taking too much time, she thinks, her patience wearing thinner with every second.*

[katieatfacetroid]

*Katie swings the Darkspike, parrying the blast from the Charge Beam. She raises her free hand upward, sending a barrage of ice molecules at Samus, with the intent of freezing her in mid-air.*

[katieatfacetroid]

*But before any bullets can fire, Katie thrusts her hand, and a blast of ice encapsulated the weapon, freezing it over and adhering it to his hand. As Katie walks by, she gives a victorious smirk to Blujay with a squinted flare in her eyes. The Spartrons pay no attention to him, their focus still trained on Samus.*

*Katie turns to the bounty hunter, letting her embrace her final moments in fear, as she withdraws a syringe with a glowing-pink fluid inside. The fluid seems to move as if on its own self—being sentient and alive—attempting to free itself from its small prison.*

[katieatfacetroid]

*The insult almost infuriates the Mistress, but she holds her composure with a grin.*

I have enough of my own glory to want to delight in yours, Samus. But that doesn’t eliminate your usefulness to our cause. It’s amazing how idolatrous men have become over sex: they yearn for it, bow to it, and serve it at their own will. They see us as creatures so powerful that they cower at our very sneers, trembling at our beauty and intellect. You possess the prowess of deities, Samus. So much untapped potential... So much you could help us with.

But you will learn that in time. 

*She begins to walk forward, her army of Spartrons slowly walking behind her, weapons raised and threatening. They begin to close in on Samus and Blujay.*

[katieatfacetroid]

*Katie thrusts out her hand to Blujay as a blast of ice freezes him to the metal floor.*

Shh... Not now, hot cakes, you’re interrupting her thoughts.

[katieatfacetroid]

Perhaps you could try, but it’s hopeless... There’s nowhere to run. 

*Katie Kennet appears at the doorway into the small, armory-like room. Behind her is an army of Spartrons, with their rifles raised. As she approaches, she slowly draws the Darkspike with a sinister grin with a resonating SHIING.*

Why run when you could become greater, Samus? Hasn't that been the essence of your career, looking for what the Chozo made you to become? They made the mistake of thinking they could perfect what was already perfected! You know the truth... You know that the man who stands next to you reeks with fear of your powerful dominance as a woman, just as all men have at the sight of your glorious complexion! He is weak—all of them are weak, and if they cannot be made to sacrifice their weakness, then they will be purged along with their impurities. Help us to exterminate them and their filth, Samus, and we shall dominate the stars with the glory of our birthright.
