Night 10

Most of the remaining ten crew members were stationary in the bases they had formed for themselves. But not all of them.

Dr. Madeline Bergman was on the move that night.


In her arms she held a gun that was not huge, but still managed to look too big for her to effectively fire. It was shaped something like a shotgun, but from the level of technology present it was clearly not used to hunt quail, or even space-quail for that matter.

She was headed down towards the Quarantine Bay. With such an affinity for Phazon, she was certain Pikachu would be hiding there- if it were hiding at all, that is. Before entering the quarantined area, there were several automated airlocks she had to pass through.

Most of the power in the GFS Olympus was out at this point, and only access doors and lighting were running in a few areas. Madeline found it very odd, then, that the depressurization chambers were still running. Perhaps they had been rebooted manually… but that would have taken an incredible amount of electric power.

After the first chamber had pressurized, the door to the second chamber slid open automatically. At the end of the long hallway was a large metal hatch- the door which had exploded when Cloud Strife was defeated. And in front of that heavy door was a small figure.


When Madeline recognized the creature, she nearly screamed, but caught herself. It appeared to be sleeping. Slowly, she approached, pointing her gun at it awkwardly. Finally, she stood directly in front of it, incredulous that it had not awoken from the noise with those long ears. Then she fired.

A wave of super-chilled air was launched from the gun. Pikachu sprang into action before the blast hit it. Apparently it had only been pretending to sleep. The blast from the gun bounced harmlessly off of Pikachu even as it frosted and cracked most of the metal plating behind it.

“Pika~!”

Pikachu leaped into the air and onto Madeline’s ice gun. As it bounded forcefully off of it, the researcher lost her balance and dropped the gun. Pikachu landed several yards behind where Madeline had been standing. Now she was cornered between Pikachu and the heavy door leading into the Phazon Quarantine chamber, which had been frosted shut anyway. Pikachu giggled gleefully.

Pikachu began crackling with electricity and Phazon energy. Madeline fumbled for her gun, and began discharging it frantically at the small creature to absolutely no effect. Soon, a glowing vortex surrounded Pikachu, and inside its eyes glowed an even brighter blue.


The static electric force was so powerful that already Madeline’s hair was beginning to stand on end. Realizing she could do nothing, as the vortex surrounding the creature blocked her exit, Madeline sank to her knees in despair. The Pikachu charged towards her.


The pain was excruciating. But as the high voltage passed through her, Madeline realized that though it pained her, it was not harming her body. The electricity passed directly to her Energy Tank, where the extreme volume of it caused it to shatter.

Pikachu stood against the heavy steel door, breathing heavily. It was recharging after the attack, but it would not do so for long. It glared with anger at the woman who had survived its judgment. Madeline sprinted out of the hallway as fast as she could, closing the air-seal door behind her.
