From Beyond the Grave III by ~Starfire619:iconStarfire619:



I'm dead...aren't I?

I'm still getting used to that

I never thought it would happen to me
But damn
I screwed up big time, didn't I?

After that...thing came in and blew us away
I don't remember much

When I woke
They told me I was lucky to be alive
And that you...
You might not make it

I don't know why that hit me hard
But when I saw you...
I wondered how someone so strong
Someone who seemed so indestructable
Could be laying before me
So weak

I don't know why I never tried competing with you
You were always a friend
And sometimes I admit I'd flirt a little
But it's my nature
We both knew nothing would come of it
But when you got mad at me for it
Well...

I ramble.

Ghor and Gandrayda had been sent out
And they told me I was to be sent to Bryyo
I didn't want to go
I wanted to stay and help repair
But they said to go
And that was the last time I saw you

Once I landed, things began to change
I found myself watching my body become corrupted and violent
I would kill not just the bad
But the good as well

Wasn't it I who told you that
"We're the good guys, right? Justice will prevail and all that..."
Why didn't I listen to myself and fight?

When I saw you there in Bryyo
My body walked away
Your expression was so hard to read
But I wanted to yell at you to stop me
Because I won't become someone's puppet

I guess I wasn't so far gone
Because I saved you from those pirates
Before turning on you, of course

I'd never had the pleasure of fighting you full out until then
We'd always had a friendly spar
But never like this
I know why you were so feared

I thought I'd spare you the hard reality
And I sacrificed myself
I could sense your anger as she took me
But you had a lot to do

I'm still gonna keep an eye out for you
Because lord knows you need it
Even when you're in so much pain
You're fighting to make sure I didn't die in vain

That's why you're better than me
You always will be
So don't feel bad that I'm dead
I'm happy to have died for your cause

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! METROID PRIME 3: CORRUPTION SPOILERS! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

Last installment, but ya'll will probably read it first. Silly kids, READ TEH NUMBERING SYSTEM!

Anyways, this is Rundas's view of Samus after he's died at her hand on Bryyo. I was sad when he died. I only knew him for a little while, but he was always teh really cool one.

And okay, did anyone BESIDES me see the hidden flirting when he saved Samus from falling into the abyss with Ridley?

ANYONE?!

Rundas was my fav hunter (besides Samus ofcoures) and this is my fav the short trilogy. I was probobly the saddist at his death while playing the game.

I really like how you write about him having consurn for Samus while she was in her coma, seems to fit his charecter great.

And yeah, I so saw him flirting with Samus at lest twice, lol

So I've just started to talk to myself, and you know what, it's fun! wanna listen? [link]
:iconstarfire619:
Same here! I just thought he was awesome and when they said 'Uhh, yeah, Rundas? Gotta kill him.' I was pissed.

Okay, so I'm not seeing things. I had to pause the game I was cracking up so hard. My brother didn't get it, but I thought it was hysterical.

Cute, but hysterical.

Thanks! I finished the game, went upstairs and wrote all three of these. They're poor tributes to their memories, but it's all I can give them right now.

Dude, that was awesome. I just finished that fight and...really, I couldn't help but to feel sad...I didn't want to fight...

At first he saved me from the pirates and just stood there, I thought I could talk to him...but no...

:(

Anyway, AWESOME story.
:iconstarfire619:
That's what I thought too...made me sad when he tried to kill me.

First time I saw him, I knew I would adore him.

But then I was horrified when I had to fight him D:

I think Samus liked it. I would have xD *snirk*

God if I could draw him...

Oh--right!
