As the bounty hunter continues using all of the might she could muster to run as fast as her legs can take her, she suddenly hears the zooming shots of gunfire coming from behind her, followed by several ballistic explosions. Samus grunts as she flinched slightly. She quickly hold her arm out in front of her to shield her visor from any rogue debris. This unfortunately slowed her down just a tad bit, but she still kept running at a steady pace. As she continued sprinting, she got a radio call coming from James Varrock, apologizing about the rounds that were deflected by the Shadow Knight.
"{It's fine, over.}" Samus answers with a calm expression, "{Just try and not to unintentionally kill us in the process.}"
It ended on a more sarcastic note, but Samus got the message through. Just then, General Brigan went zooming past her and the others. But something seemed off about him. His eyes were red... like blood-red, and glowing to with a vile grin that ultimately casted an ominous chill down her spine. Something about this whole mission wasn't right. She knew something was up from te beginning, but didn't mention anything. And the look General Brigan had while rushing up the stairs seemed to clarify many things. Suddenly, she can hear the faint call of Luigi from back at the battlefield, stating that the General had lied to them, and that he is the real enemy here, followed by a ball of light zooming past her.
The bounty hunter was no stranger to betrayal. She had been betrayed by many people, lead into various traps from autocratic space bureaucrats, to shady job clients. This was simply no different. After all, she never really liked the General anyways, besides carrying that horn of his was already insulting as is. Perhaps if she wasn't warned she might've continued to go as planned. But this job, the one she was working right now, is much different. This is a dimension-saving job, not some little assassination or petty shooting-up Metroids or Ridley. To help the enemy in a job like this is to help the destruction on a totally dimensional scale, causing casualties by the millions if not billions. Samus can be greedy and desperate for credits at times, but never would want to sacrifice a world in achieving it.
With a sliding halt, Samus screeched to a stop as she follows Brigan's movements up the stairs. She glances quickly at the heroes behind her.
"Change of plans," she simply states back as she looks up at the General marching up, not saying anything more.
Using her arm cannon, she points it at his general area. But instead of firing several shots at him, the cannon began to vibrate and shake rapidly. In the middle of the barrel, a charged ball of plasma energy hums to life as it gathers as much energy as it could muster. A charged shot was about to fire, and as soon as Samus locked onto him, she jerked slightly above him she fired. The ball of plasma quickly exits the barrel of the gun as it rapidly approaches him at an impressive speed. Yet this blast wasn't simply directed at him... it was to knock down the last bits of stairs that lead to where the Pooka was headed. To hit that portion of the stairs, would ultimately cut him off from his victim with a bang. This should do the trick...
