"My turn." The kid said with a smile, as he crushed the super missile and vaporizing it, before charging at me, delivering a powerful punch into my chest, taking me down a few energy tanks. My eyes widened at the sight of the power this kid has.

As the kid was jumping back, I quickly switched beams, and activated the flame thrower, scorching the area in flame, but Connor expertly jumped over all the flames being produced without a single burn. Frowning, I cut of the beam, before switching to the wave beam, firing several homing shots at him.

To my surprise, he didn't even try to dodge, as the electric beams hit him. I was surprised again when he didn't even seem affected, as the electricity just sparked across his body. He looked at me, with a smile on his face. "You shouldn't have done that. You see, I got my powers from electricity. I control electricity." I didn't even have time to react, as he fired a powerful beam of electricity at me, taking down some tanks.

When he stopped firing, my systems were messed up for a second, before I recovered, and fired a charged ice beam at him, which he wasn't able to dodge due to his cool down. When he was frozen in ice, I quickly fired several missile, shattering the ice, sending his body pieces everywhere. I let out a small breath, before trying to check on the ponies. Before I could even take two steps, I saw his limbs moving a bit, before they starting floating, and reattaching his body where I destroyed it at.

When all the body pieces got put next to each other in their rightful place, a small glow came out of his body, fixing up all the wounds. I stood there shocked, as the kid looked at me, with a smirk on his face. "Regenerative factor." The kid then disappeared, and reappeared behind me, delivering a quick punch to my back, taking me down about half a tank. I quickly turned around, firing several barrages of different beams at him.

He swatted away the hyper beams, dodged the nova beams and plasma beams, sidestepped the spazer beam, and countered the light and dark beams with his own versions. Deciding to use one of the last beams I have, I charged it up, and fired the annihilator beam at him. The kid looked surprised at the sight of the beam, before trying to catch it, and being sent back a few feet. The kid looked nervous for a second, before he looked up a me with a smile on his face.

Getting pretty nervous, I watched the kid smash the powerful beam, and absorb it. The grey energy flowed through his body, until it converged in his metal arm, which he raised, as it started to spin. As his arm spun, it started to change, and before long, it took on the familiar shape of my arm cannon. He fired several annihilator beams at me, the first one hitting me, but I dodged the others.

'How are we supposed to defeat this kid?' I don't know. He was able to avoid, destroy, or use all of our beams. We don't have any beams left.' 'Wait! The cosmic beam we picked up earlier from the Chozo ship.' '... I hope it works. It's our only shot.' I changed my beam to the cosmic beam, and fired a fast moving shot at the kid.

The kid barely had the time to look surprised, before he tried to stop it with his hand. The beam fizzled out, and I almost was about to go Hypermode on him, when I noticed that his hand was badly burnt, and wasn't healing fast. 'He's weak to the cosmic beam!' 'Then let's show him our power!' Finally getting the upper hand, I fired several cosmic beams at him, which he barely dodged in time.

I fired a charged cosmic beam, which quickly hit him, tearing his shirt up, and sending him flying back a bit. The kid charged forward before I could fire another shot, and delivered a massive punch to me that knocked me down to my final energy tank. I quickly recovered, firing several more shots at him, which he was able to dodge, before one hit him in the leg. I had a small smile on my face, as the kid and I realized that with an injured leg, he wouldn't be fast enough to dodge the beams.

The kid, stood back up, and charged forward again at a much slower speed. Prepared this time, I lifted my arm cannon, and charged up a shot, and waited until he was close enough that he wouldn't be able to dodge. When he was, I smirked, as I fired the shot, which went through his chest, and came out the other side.

As the kid realized what happened, he already had plenty of inertia and strength left that he was able to punch me one last time, leaving me at one point of energy left, as the kid ran forward past me, and fell down, passing out from the pain and blood loss.
