[Amitwo, Doppelganger Amitie]

Your mission begins at the mouth of a large cave leading down into the earth, within which a glowing blue fleshy substance can be observed to be overtaking the rocky walls. It would be familiar to Samus as Phazon. Waiting for the group to show up was Amitwo, who was... getting handsy with the phazon already. A poke yielded an “Oooo” as her finger began to glow a cyan blue color matching the wall. She then placed her entire hand on the wall, which turned blue and began to manifest a similar colored aura. A soft gasp of delight escaped her. Hey knuckleheads; Try to keep Amitwo alive challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!!!)

A mirror would suddenly appear behind Amitwo as a reflection of Arle appeared in it. Out of that mirror jumped a rainbow dressed Arle that immediately  moved to slap her hand away. "Hey! You shouldn't just touch any glowing matter you see. You don't know what that stuff will do. Probably not anything good. Trust me, died to more than my fair share," she lectured before looking back at the phazon. This place gave her a bad feeling as her mirror flipped away to return to it's resting place. "... You sure your source is in this place?" she asked, not taking too much time to say hi as her head was in other places...

"Hey... Arle?" Amithree walked up. "... No. Farle," Farle corrected, not looking over. "... Oh, sorry, right. Kind of wished you came with one of us Amitwo. We're not sure how dangerous this place is. Considering how much energy is probably here though I'd think super dangerous..." she adds looking at the energy radiating off the Phazon. Farle was giving her a look, not sure if she was the original or not and making some early judgemental opinions.

"N-not even in, and this cave's real creepy, huh..." Amitie commented, a shiver running down her spine as she walked towards the mouth of the cave full of glowy blue things, accompanied by a certain orange-haired love maiden. "Are you okay, Amitie?" Ally questioned, looking at her friend. Amitie returns the gaze with a weak laugh. "I'm just... kinda worried about a lot of things, is all!" she replied. She turns back to the cave, seeing Amitwo, Amithree and...Arle? Wait, that might be one of her doppelgangers. She looked like she lost a fight against several paintcans...

Her drifting thoughts snap back to reality as she feels a hand grasp hers, Ally getting pretty close to her. "Well, I might not be sure what ails you, but you have me and Lady Amitwo every step of the way! I'll make sure our love gets us through this!" Ally reassured. Amitie pauses and...giggles. "Thanks, Ally~ Makes me feel a lot better knowing you got my back." she said. "Let's go! We shouldn't keep them waiting!" Amitie said, picking up the pace, Ally tagging along.

"Ami-me! Ami-me-me! Hiii~" she called to her doppelgangers with a smile. "And...hiya~ I'm Amitie! My dream's to become a wonderful magician!" she greeted Farle with a wave. Ally approaches the gathered group as well. "Lady Amitwo! It's so good to see you again!" Ally greeted fondly, before turning to Amithree and Farle with a curious gaze in her eyes. "Oh...? And who could you be?" Ally questioned. "Oh, we call the other one that looks like me Amithree! As for the other one, well...I dunno!"

"Well, my name is Ally! Let's fall in love~!" Ally introduced herself, catchphrase and all. Amitie giggled at that. 

Amitwo and Amithree may notice how Amitie looked...different than last time they saw her. Well, maybe just Amithree, Amitwo might've heard of what happened from Lidelle. Perhaps the big changes were that her hair was onyx black now, rather than the trademark blonde; and that her Puyo Cap was not with her, rather she was wearing a big blue bow on her head. She also wore a simpler dress and carried a purse styled after a Chu Puyo.

"..."

Watching from a distance, a certain school teacher was watching the kiddos reuniting. "You think they might be over their heads a little?" The cat on her arm said, looking at the group currently assembled. "Hmm...no. I might step in and interfere if things get ugly, but I believe a leader will be sufficient aid for them." the teacher said with her usual smile. The cat chuckles. "Well, if ya say so, meow." he replied.

"...I wish you good luck, Amities."

[Samus Aran, The Entrusted One]

Samus never liked the Zebes Depths. Of all the areas to be put onto Li-- And make up the Largest hunk of it's entire continents, Why was it the planet she dreaded the most? Why the entire depths of it? ...She hated everything it existed for. After all, it was a planet that teemed with life that existed pretty much solely for her destruction, last she recalled. So, She wasnt exactly happy to go diving back into it again. However, This particular mission caught her interest.


 The Elements of the Mirage were a Mystery that Samus had always had a gauged interest in. Duties as a leader prevented her from genuine exploration too often-- However, Samus was always trying to investigate the mirage in some way shape or form. If they could maintain a friendly relationship with the Mirage and it's contents; the Life Sphere could have a Fantastic ally for near infinite supplies, After all! ...All she needed to do was explore it-- Were it not the constant weighing on her duties to stay around li and break up constant absolutionist squabbles. Ugh.

Samus arrived outside of the Phazon Cavern with her Gunship a few meters away from the enterance as to not draw attention, as Samus hopped out, This time in her Zero Suit, and stepped forward as her Gunship lifted off and flew back to Li. She walked down the steps in her Rocket Heels-- Dont ask how Samus is capable of exploring a Cave in Heels, She is a Master level Heel Girl-- And made her way down....Just in time to see Amitwo poking the Phazon like a Big squishy ball....

Hoo boy. This was gonna be difficult.

Samus immediately approached, Carefully getting past Amitie and Amithree and up to Amitwo. Samus's Left hand glew a bright white, and summoned the Gauntlet of her Power Suit's hand, Reaching out to Amitwo's hand. "...That blue substance is a dangerous and highly toxic parasitic entity that will corrupt and distort anyone who touches it into a monster...Give me your hand. I'll use my suits Phazon Phazon Enhancement Device to take the energy from you." Samus offered.

"And the same goes for the rest of you! If it Glows and is bright blue, Consider it off limits. Phazon is not just a threat to you, But everyone else surrounding you." Samus called back to the rest of the squad, as she smiled gently to Amitwo. "Dont be afraid. Your lucky you have me here to take care of it. Right?" Samus asked gently...


...Then it occured to her. Samus just signed up to take a bunch of children through a fieldtrip of potentially the most dangerous section of Li, Next to the Essence extraction point.

...She didnt even pack any animal crackers.

[Amitwo, Doppelganger Amitie]

Farle you emerge onto the scene aaand Amitwo has already crammed her entire fist in her mouth. She looks like she's listening, but you can only guess whether she's taking any of this to heart. After a moment though she plucks her hand free and looks at it again in confusion. “...I don't feel like I'm dying!” Amitwo cheerily replied, before floating over to give everyone PHAZON HUGS! AAAAAAAAAAAH

...Only for Samus to stop her. “...Really? ...Maybe the reason it didn't work on me is because I'm already a monster~!” Amitwo cheerily offered, though she held out her hand regardless. As Samus absorbs the phazon energy from her, Amitwo's smile vanishes as her hand kinda... disintegrates into a blue mist that is then absorbed. A similar mist leaking from where the wound should've been could be observed. She quickly shook her hand and a new one formed in its place, free of any blue glow. “...Woah! That was pretty spooky.” she nervously remarked. The energy draining effect made her nervous. She was a bit more scared of that than the phazon. Regardless, she gets over it in just a moment and floats over to hand out hugs to everyone. “--Oh yeah! I'm sure. ...Somewhere down there, whatever I'm drawing power from awaits.” she announced, making a finger gun at the entrance.

The tip of her finger faded away, a similar blue mist leaking from it. This time though, it drifted through the air, creating a glowing blue trail down the glowing blue tunnel. “Thanks, Sammy~ With your guys help, I know we'll figure this mystery out!” she announced, before beginning to sluggishly float along, following the trail into the cave! A moment later, a voice rang out. "Hold it right there!" commanded, moments before a familiar boy rushed onto the scene and physically blocked the entrance.

"Don't go in there. You're all making a big mistake."

...Cue several moments of wheezing from having run here while out of shape. He holds up a finger to ask for patience. "You can't... trust her." he adds. “Can't trust who?” Amitwo curiously asked, poking her head back out of the cave. Uh. ...UH. Klug looks back and forth between her and the group for a moment. " . . . Nothing to concern yourself with, Miss Amitwo. Just regional politics of the most boring kind. Please wait for us deeper in the cave." Klug lazily bluffs. “...Ooooh, okay.” Amitwo replied in disinterest, before heading back off. Klug waits for a moment to watch her go this time before fixing his glasses rather performatively and continuing.

"...Well that was close. It's a good thing she's no match for my wit. A multiversal constant, it seems." Klug began, just kinda stealth dissing every Amitie at once.

"Amities. Friends. ...Co-workers. I am Klug, prodigious student of Primp Magic School and ARE YOU ALL INSANE?!" Klug begans to cordially introduce before abruptly losing his shit and screaming at the group. "You're going to get yourself killed going down there! And for what, some doppelganger's curiosity??" he continued in disbelief.

After a moment of catching his breath, Klug recomposed himself and continued. "Luckily, you have me and my vast expanse of knowledge to rescue you from this fate. Allow me to clue you into a few simple observations I've made." Klug began to boast. "For starters, have any of you noticed Miss Amitwo wasn't affected by that deadly toxin just now? ...How about the fact that she's made up of an energy that looks eerily similar to it? Hmm?" Klug began to explain in a tone one might use when explaining something complex to toddlers. "...Did you notice she herself admits her power source is here? In a cave full of the stuff?? Or the way she brushed off the danger, as if she knew it wouldn't affect her?" he continued, nodding in affirmation of an unspoken thought. "The conclusion is elementary. That stuff IS the source of her power. And once she gets you in there and feels like she can take you, she's going to turn it on you to defeat you. You're being reeled in like a fish on a hook." Klug finished, shaking his head slightly in disappointment.
