These are some a collection of various one-shots, generally centered on one theme, from each of the games in the Metroid series.
There isn't one on Metroid 2, which I never finished, and spin-offs aren't included as well.
I'm also planning on writing a story set post-Fusion with a somewhat large cast with various abilities, and another story (not necessarily connected to the others) about Melissa Bergman surviving Other M.
Ch. 1 Errand
To say that Samus's stay in Tourian was a walk down memory lane would be technically accurate.
Of course, Samus didn't recall life-sucking predators, space pirate bodies, or rinka turrets from her childhood, but they, too, were pieces of her past.
The luminescent green domes shattered into pieces of blue shrapnel as Samus cleared each room. Each step carried her towards completion of her mission, with the elimination of the Metroids, as well as their manipulator, being at hand.
Mother Brain had been crafted by the Chozo, as had the Metroids. Samus, too, with her Chozo enhancements and battle suit, was a part of their creative legacy.
All three had been designed for furthering peace in the galaxy. Mother Brain had been the center of the Chozo's network, only to turn vicious with jealousy and folly in whatever passed as her heart.
The Metroids were a tool turned against galactic society by the Pirates.
Samus was an instrument, an extension of the Galactic Federation. In this case, she was about to surgically remove Mother Brain.
Yet, Samus was a person with a goal. Where Mother Brain was jealous, she was content. Where Mother Brain was arrogant, Samus was working towards galactic peace.
As Samus approached Mother Brain's final line of defense, she knew she was heading to destroy one of the last remaining pieces of the Chozo's work.
Samus blasted open the hatchway. It was time to take out the trash.
The less heard moments:
Samus fired a missile at the organic pink tissue, only for it to bounce off.
"I don't remember that being the case…" Samus muttered, ignoring that this was totally her first battle with the brain.
After the battle had progressed some more, Samus stopped firing and just squatted in front of the eye.
It stayed open, and Samus stared at it quizzically.
A rinka brushed against Samus, knocking her into the lava. She leapt out, then glanced at the eye.
"You close it when I'm not in a position to fire?"
Mother Brain just fired a purple bolt of plasma, only for Samus to leap over it. Landing in front of Mother Brain, she yelled, "Peek-a-boo!"
On a bounty hunter's first mission, one is allowed to act a little immature.
