Introduction/Author's Note:


Hello everyone, welcome to Metroid: Kamen Rider Generations Volume 2 - Ex-Aid Era feat. Cross Ange, the sequel/second season to Metroid: Kamen Rider Generations. This is a triple crossover of Metroid, Kamen Rider, and Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon. I just wanted to mention many things before you guys start reading the story - (1) The premise of this story will co-exist with the canon events with this years current Kamen Rider season, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. (2) The theme of this fic will also involve exploring other planets similar to Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. (3) The universe of Cross Ange is on an Earth Colony, that the home planet of the said universe is an Earth Colony, Earth AZ-007. Although this might affect the canon plot of Cross Ange, it is the only way separate the universes in the form of Earth Colony. (4) As for the Cross Ange continuity, this fic takes places three years after the anime. (5) I strongly recommend reading the first Metroid: KRG before proceeding to this sequel fic. (6) I have a hypothetical casting in Japanese (the actors for the Kamen Riders who appear are counted, indicated with an asterisk (*)) and English language for the characters, for the main ones only, including the OC antagonists:

Allow me to introduce you guys the one of the two villainous factions of this fic (the Bugsters from Ex-Aid will have a small role) in this fic, the Black Cross Armada. The Black Cross Armada is a faction of intergalactic invaders who have conquered many planets around the galaxy. Their motives as of now are yet to be known. But, quite frankly, they are expies to the Space Pirates of the Metroid mythos as well as Shocker, an antagonistic force from the original Kamen Rider from the Showa Era. (8) The faction's high ranking members is composed of the Grand Admiral, the leader. The Black Cross Grand Admiral is so charismatic, no one has ever questioned his authority. Then, we have Xenogaea, one of the Grand Admiral's subordinates, she's a humanoid alien from Planet Destron, she's a sultry, provocative fighter with huge jugs to gaze on. Then again, she's a dominatrix, and she's a combat sadomasochist when she takes so much pain, it turns her on; she does have a soft spot for Viper, however. Third, there's Viper, the Grand Admiral's lieutenant. Much like Xenogaea, he's from Planet Destron, true to his name, he's is cunning as a snake, and he's super humanly strong and arrogant too. But, he is very close to Xenogaea and he is very dedicated to protect her. Lastly, Nightclaw and Shadowtron are brothers, they are interstellar raiders who have destroyed planets. However, they are bitter enemies, this gives them a respective Cain and Abel relationship.

Without further ado, let me introduce you to the first episode of Metroid: Kamen Rider Generations Volume 2 - Ex-Aid Era feat. Cross Ange


Episode 001: Fallen Angel, part 1


-The Endless Story-

Earth Colony AZ-007...

Three years ago the Norma and the DRAGONs fought the godlike tyrant known as Embryo, who is attempting to combine two worlds into one. Before the incident happen, the World of Mana, made that Earth Colony into a perfect world with peace and prosperity. With the existence of the Norma, the Mana society considered them as outcasts, with that they were quarantined in Arzenal, a military prison camp, where they are conscripted as soldiers and Para-Mail pilots to combat the DRAGONs. Overtime, when the DRAGONs reveal that Embryo uses the power of the great DRAGON known as Aura, which is the source of Mana. The DRAGONs and the Norma forged an alliance to end Embryo's reign of terror once and for all, and they succeeded.

With the Earth Colony at peace, both humans, Norma, and DRAGONs co-exist together in tranquility. With the world of Mana now in shambles.

"~With the light of the beginning, kirali, kirali~" (Hajime no Hikari, kirari, kirari), a blonde woman riding a white Ragna-Mail soars around the skies of Arzenal along with the DRAGONs as she sings a song called the "Endless Story".

On the ground, we see a small building which is called Cafe Ange, a young man, with brown hair, along with a maid stand in front of Cafe Ange as they look for someone.

"Momoka, have you seen Ange?", the youth asked, with the maid being the recipient of the question is Momoka.

"I dunno, Tusk-san.", said Momoka. "Perhaps she is with the Villkiss."

With that in mind, Tusk re-assures that Ange has been interacting with the DRAGONs around the sky. It has been three years after the time-space merging disaster ended, the Normas and DRAGONs live in peace. With Embryo finally erased from existence for good, everyone is free to do what they want.

Meanwhile in the skies of Arzenal as Ange descends back onto the surface all while being surprised by Tusk and Momoka.

"Aaaangeeeeliiiiseee-saamaaa!", Momoka bellowed as Ange descends with the Villkiss.

"Ange!", Tusk followed after.

Ange dismounts on the Villkiss as she approached Momoka and Tusk. Ange looks at Tusk as the former princess throws a mild punch at him.

"Ow, that hurt!", Tusk cried in pain.

To which the Norma replies, with a chuckle, "You're such a worrywart. As always."

The three returned inside the cafe as they are keeping their hands full.


-Enter the Black Cross Armada-

Elsewhere around the depths of space...

We see a fleet of alien spaceships are on standby. On the center of the fleet is an alien mothership. In the navigation deck, we see three high-ranking commanders talking about their recent goal.

"Xenogaea, Viper, our invasion of Planet Delza went well.", the highest officer, who goes by the name of the Black Cross Grand Admiral said. "Their resistance barely put up a fight."

"Yes, admiral!", one of his lieutenants, Viper responded. "Give the call and I will send in our Arachnitroids."

Then, came another officer, in the form of Xenogaea. "Tee-hee-hee, I never feel so aroused at our last mission, right Viper?", all while she caresses Viper in a rather disturbing, yet seductive manner. "Admiral, any more planets you want to think about ransacking before we set for Earth?"

"Good idea, Xenogaea.", the Grand Admiral chuckled. "In that case, we'll claim Earth as our own. Hehehehe, but first..."


-Samus: Enter the Space Explorers-

My name is Samus Aran, I am an intergalactic bounty hunter who is trapped in the present time. In my journeys in the present time, I've met masked heroes called Kamen Riders, their devotion to protect humanity changed my life forever, which lead me to forge a new path in the new world, protecting humanity whenever in the times of dangers come.

The threat of the Ganma is finally eradicated, Takeru Tenkuji is now fully revived as a human. However, somewhere in between more enemies spawned to stir up another conflict. Thanks to the suggestion of the Kureshima brothers, the only response to combat new and upcoming threats - is to form an initiative. That is, the idea to gather a group of remarkable people, see if they become something more. See if they can work together when we needed them to. To fight the battles that we never could.

And so, I came up with a "Space Explorers Project" to gather people. Mitsuzane, Go, and myself are the first three members of this initiative. The two men decided to take part of this as they desire to continue protecting humanity. This was Mitsuzane's wish on his 21st birthday, and Go's intent of being a part of this team is to become the next big thing. Meanwhile, we offered Takeru and his friends for a place for the initiative. However, Takeru declined, but the other two - Makoto Fukami and Alain decided to take part. And so, this task force of protecting mankind will now be called the Space Explorers.

Space Avenger Initiatve Log Entry #1

October 12, 2016

Log Author: Samus Aran

We decided to voyage into space for the first time. The Mega-Fortress was finally modified for space travel thanks to Ghor. Gandrayda and Rundas decided to hibernate on the Ganma world, Ghor stayed on the Command Tower. The crew here is composed of myself, Mitsuzane, Go, Makoto, Alain, Nina, Satsuki, and Professor Sawagami.

The four men find space travelling a dream come true. It felt they are giving themselves a sense of relief after the arduous crusade against the Ganma. Alain felt like it is like he managed to achieve his dreams to explore the rest of the universe, which is a part of him being a normal human.

Makoto feels the same way too, now that he said to us that he is just in the second chapter of his life. When that doppelganger of his gave his life force to make sure he continues to live reminded me how did that SA-X helped me fight that Omega Metroid in my last mission back in my world. I was likely saying to myself that the Makoto's doppelganger and the SA-X literally have a lot in common.

Mitsuzane's birthday wish came true, when he told his older brother that he's also part of this Space Explorers project. Due to the fact that Go usually see ourselves as The Explorers of this universe, so both him and Mitsuzane decided to name this task force operation as the Space Explorers Initiative. Takatora somehow accepted his younger brother's decision that this new initiative involves journeying into outer space, as Mitsuzane himself desired to do the impossible.

END LOG

The Voyage To Space

In the Mega-Fortress, Samus spend her time sitting on the pilot's seat, pondering about their next destination: an Earth Colony called Planet AZ-007. When Samus got to study the new planets of the present time. According to Adam, AZ-007 had an enigmatic past as it was ravaged by time-space disaster caused by some kind of Magitek.

"Magitek? What do you mean Magitek?", the bounty hunter raised her eyebrow.

"Apparently, as what the Lore of AZ-007 stated that planet is once home to people who use the Light of Mana.", Adam's synthetic baritone stated. "The Light of Mana serves as a magical technology for the inhabitants of the planet. But when a time-space disaster convergence came along - in an attempt to merge the "two Earths" into one, it seems the inhabitants no longer use the said Magitek."

Despite the planet's lore being too complicated compared than the other planets in her world that she once explored, Samus still insisted about researching more information of AZ-007.

(*cues: "Gunship Theme" from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption*)

"Also. the planet is also inhabited by draconic creatures called DRAGONs.", the AI continued. "Dimensional Rift Attuned Gargantuan Organic Neototype. They come in different forms, and rumor has it; they're evolved from humans. Somehow, they were once being poached by those who are unable to use the Light of Mana, called Normas. Not only that, these Normas pilot transformable vehicles called Ragna-Mails."

Samus understands the lore's what her AI had found, but...

"We'll save that once we enter the planet's atmosphere, Adam."

"Okay, no objections at this moment, Lady.", the AI's synthetic baritone spoke again. "But, concerning those DRAGONs, I advise you and the other three that you must not agitate them at all costs. We don't want to cause any planetary disaster."

"Right."

At the lower deck of the ship, Go, Mitsuzane, Alain, and Makoto gazed on the stars through the glass window of the ship.

"The stars around the depths of outer space are beautiful from here.", said Alain.

Strangely enough, Go took the liberty of taking pictures from the ship's lower deck to see so many stars and other planet. "Believe it or not, man. Going into space is one heckuva dream that you can afford to think as a kid.", Go smiled as he flashed his camera.

"By the way you look at it, they sparkle like light.", Mitsuzane replied with a sigh. "Forming the Space Avenger Initiative is something we imagined how we'll reach this far."

The reason that the Space Explorers' formation is that Samus and her Kamen Rider allies fight to protect all that is good not only around Earth, but as well around the depths of the galaxy. Ever since Samus learned the value of teamwork and friendship thanks to meetings with Kamen Riders along the way, she knows that allies gave her support to protect the world she now settled in.

"Senpai, what planet are we heading anyway?", Makoto asked.

Mitsuzane replies immediately, "AZ-007, Makoto-san. The planet is somehow known for its Light of Mana Magitek. But, thanks to a time-space disaster convergence that happened three years ago in that world, Mana no longer exists there. It's the only limited information that Adam gave to Samus lately. Once we get to that planet, this is where we're going to start looking for clues."

Alain then added, "According to that bounty hunter, AZ-007 is an Earth Colony, right?"

"Yeah."

"And the inhabitants of the said planet treated it as if it was the real Earth."

The other two men agreed to that. Although the said colony was wracked from a post-apocalyptic disaster, the inhabitants there are doing their best to recover.


Ange: Three Years After

I was once born Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi... On my 16th Birthday were I was about to be ascended to the throne, my identity as a Norma changed my life forever. Imprisoned in Arzenal, I was forced to fend myself for the benefit of survival. From that day onward, I will be now referred as Ange.

My battles against the DRAGONs and then, Embryo made me to understand that I want to live under my hearts content. I knew it all along, even from Tusk that people aren't meant to live alone. And I thought through my arduous journey from a fallen princess to a determined warrior, now with Embryo dead... I think I knew it was the time to start over again, I was thankful to regain trust from new friends, Salako taught me that.

It has been three years after that catalyst. And here I am now, running a new cafe with Tusk. I'm fully content with the life I live as a person.

"AAANGEELIIISEEE-SAAAMAAA!", Momoka bellowed as she ran towards me.

"What is it, Momoka?", I asked her. As my top maid began pointing on the sky about something. "Look up there, it looks some kind of a spaceship!"

Even though I'm no longer a princess, Momoka still continued calling me with the name Angelise. Momoka and I came a long way, and still, she is the same Momoka I know. And as I look in the sky, this spaceship Momoka is talking about...

"Ange!", Tusk approached me. "What's that?", and he too looked into the descending ship from the sky. He pulled out some binoculars, and sees it looks just similar to the Aurora. Only that the said ship is more golden with red accents, and green windows.

If any case possible, I want to know if they are friend or foe... Only time will tell.


Samus: Arzenal

(*cues: "Mission Final" OST from Metroid Prime Trilogy [Metroid Prime/Metroid Prime 2: Echoes/Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]*)

"We're now entering the planet's atmosphere!", Adam finally informed us we are now in Earth Colony AZ-007. As we softly descend as we find a place to land.

"Looks like we're finally here!", I said with a smile.

Just we are now lowering altitude to find a landing spot, looks like the map showed us about an island here. According to Adam, the island is called Arzenal. I told the AI to activate the Mega-Fortress's amphibious functions so we can traverse on water.

Soon, we managed to land in the waters of the planet. It looks like this island is some kind of a sanctuary or something.

"Did we land?", Makoto asked.

"Yep, we're here alright."

Meanwhile, we climbed above deck, we checked on the surroundings. Mitsuzane and Alain checked on the west and eastern sides. Until the latter found out something.

"Everyone, there's...", Alain stammered, with his eyes on the binoculars. "There's a cafe within this direction!"

"Holy shit!", Go cussed, "Why would a cafe be around here in a deserted island of all things?!"

Mitsuzane takes the binoculars from Alain. "Let me see that!", as he observed, a cafe by the seashore. "It says, Café Ange."

In order for us to search for clues of this planet, I think it wouldn't hurt to ask the denizens here. That being said, we head east for the seashore cafe.


Ange: Visitors From A Distant World

"Ange, is something wrong?", Tusk asked as if he was worried about me; as if I had numerous nightmares of the past.

"No, I'm fine.", I reassured. "The only thing I am worried about is that ship. I'm wondering if those people came here are friend or foe..."

At the soon that ship reached the vicinity of the shore... It seems the people in there are basically humans. Four men came out of the ship (one with a skunk stripe on his hair, the second wearing a leather jacket from top to bottom with black and blue zigzag patterns, there is one wearing a white and red jacket, and the other one wearing a white leather jacket with purple neons), along a tall, blonde female. This woman has icy-blue eyes, and her ponytail is tied with a red hairband.

"Who are you people?", I insistently asked them, to make sure if they are friend or foe.

The man with the shaggy hair wearing the jacket with purple neons said, "We're just space explorers. I swear we won't bite!", coupled with a wisecrack.

Space explorers? I said to myself. I was wondering why from what planet or world are they, considering that they're humans too.

"Are you guys running a cafe in the shore?", asked the man in blue leather jacket.

"Yes. I opened this cafe since three years ago. We've got as many customers since we've opened.", I gleefully said. "Mind if you guys can stop by in your spare time?"

The tall woman agreed in eating the cafe along with the three other men. So, as the four make their way inside, "Tusk! Momoka! We got customers!", the came out from the kitchen as I called them out as the four people entered the cafe.

After we take their orders, Tusk and Momoka began preparing their food. And I take time to talk with the four people. Starting with that tall, blue-eyed blonde.

But, the tall woman spoke first, "You know, for running a cafe, you sure seem know how to provide hospitality for people too."

"Thank you.", I took that as a compliment. "By the way, ma'am. May I know your name?"

"Samus Aran.", the tall woman introduced herself. "I'm the leader of this five-man space explorer team from a distant world. You know, that glittering look in your eyes, you are pretty devoted to your work."

I also took that as a compliment as well. Then, Samus introduced to me her crew - the man in the white jacket with purple lines is Mitsuzane Kureshima, her partner. The red one is named Go Shijima, the one in the blue leather jacket is named Makoto Fukami, and his partner with the streak on his hair, Alain. It's no surprise for a group of space explorers, a woman is leading the team. I wonder what they are after...

Just as I head back to the cooking room to check on Momoka, Tusk was gawking... Was on those visitors, or that woman? I looked back and forth between Tusk and those Space Explorers, but what Tusk is looking at...

Is he ogling on that tall woman?! I said to myself... To make sure his ears are open, I decided crept closer on Tusk's left side and shouted loudly on his ears, "EARTH TO TUSK!"

He suddenly jolted in surprise before he, like what always happens to me if he's around, falling face-first onto my crotch!


-Samus: Look of Disbelief-

"Holy...", Go muttered in a fit of laughter.

"...shit!", Mitsuzane added, and his jaw dropped at the reaction of what we saw. The young boy falling first on that girl's crotch. Alain and Makoto averted their gaze.

Seconds later, that girl starts pinching the young man pulls him away back in the kitchen. It made Go to break down laughing.

"How does he insert his mouth on her-", before Go can throw his sexual innuendo jokes, the four of us glare at him, which silenced him seconds later.

Since Mitsuzane and Go are exactly similar to one another considering the fact that they bicker like children, it's no surprise they still make jokes at anyone's expense or even at each other. Ever since Alain and Makoto joined with us, they tend avert their attention away from whatever antics Go and Mitsuzane are trying to do.


-Enter the Arzenal Residents-

Moments later, three five went inside the cafe, in the form of Vivian, Ersha, Salia, Rosalie, and Hilda.

"Time for a pop quiz!", the red haired girl exclaimed trivially. "Who are those visitors? They're all men."

"Oh, but, they have a woman!", Ersha added, as the other Norma gazed on Samus.

Rosalie turns to Hilda, while they gazed on Samus. "Hey, Hilda. Does that blonde remind you of Zola?", then Rosalie interacts with Samus and her fellow Space Explorers. "Hey, miss. Are you guys not from here?"

The bounty hunter replies, rather with a snide answer, "Excuse me, do I know you?"

That snark stung Rosalie real hard; this prompts Salia to interact with the tall blonde.

She's just like Ange when she first came here. But, that woman is rather smug. Salia thought to herself, not realizing the fact Samus is a Smug Super. She's not similar to Alektra either.

But, Salia turned away and went back with her fellow Norma.

Meanwhile, the Space Explorers have their own discussion.

"This island is inhabited by women?". Alain asked.

Samus answers, "From what I heard from Adam. These women inhabiting the island are actually called the Norma."

Go interrupted, "Heck, this is much more hanging out with the ladies!", then he points to the pink-haired woman with huge breasts (Ersha), "And look at that lady with pink hair, huge tits-"

"Language!", Samus bellowed as she chastises the white Kamen Rider with a mouth. "It's very inappropriate to talk anything sexual in the wrong places! Especially in front of a woman."

This the first time Mitsuzane, who is sitting beside her hears why Samus would chastise anyone swearing around. "Hold on a sec.", said the young Kureshima as he is trying not to laugh, he couldn't help but chuckle, "No one else is gonna do with the fact that you just said, "language"?"

To which Samus replies, "I know. It just slipped out."


-The Next Invasion-

Meanwhile on the Black Cross Mothership...

"Admiral, we detected a mothership that just went into that Earth Colony from reports of our recon fleet", Xenogaea reported.

"Hmm... AZ-007, I see.". the Grand Admiral smirked. "Wasn't that the planet that was afflicted by a time-space convergence?"

"Perhaps so.", Viper added. "That man named Embryo attempted to merge two worlds on that planet. But it failed miserably when he was defeated by a mere human woman."

"Hahahaha! Embryo was big fool to create a world in his likeness!", the admiral gloated on what a miserable failure Embryo is. "Now that he is removed from existence, I'll show him how you destroy worlds! Glory to the Black Cross Armada!"

The Black Cross Armada began their advance as they set course for Earth Colony AZ-007.


See you next mission...


Author's Note #2

At the end of every chapter of this fic, it will now end with "See you next mission" instead of "To be continued".

It is unknown how the Grand Admiral knows about Embryo, the main villain of Cross Ange. Speaking of the Black Cross Grand Admiral, he's an evil version of Admiral Dane in my opinion. While Xenogaea is an expy to Ridley, while Viper is to Kraid.
