So here's a new story. This is an introductory chapter, so it's very short, I realise.
Happy Valentine's Day to anyone reading this, no matter what the actual date is as of reading.

Chapter 1 - "Ridley"
It seemed all the breath Samus had ever had in her had just been forcefully pushed out of her, leaving her lungs crumpled up in an ugly state. When she was finally stopped by a wall tough enough, her suit assisted her in breathing again. Before she knew it, Ridley was back on her with his claws clutching at her helmet.
"You and your pretty suit..." he grumbled, picking her up by the head. "What do I have to get you to come out? I haven't eaten in months!"
Samus struggled to get a clear view of the dragon through her visor. The way he was holding her, she couldn't see him well enough to get a clear aim. Ridley threw her up and caught her in his long mouth, pressing down hard with his teeth. No matter how much pressure he placed on the suit, it still held. He couldn't even make a dent in it.
"Ridley, open wide," Samus shouted. She finally found herself able to use her targeting systems on him again. With that, she shot a concentrated blast down his throat. It must have burnt horribly, as his gasping breath fogged up her visor temporarily.
"You little damn--!" he screeched, dropping her to the floor, grasping at his throat.
Samus scrambled to her feet, being careful of Ridley's erratic steps. The dragon then controlled himself in order to aim a few swipes at his huntress rival. She barely dodged his raging blows, and in return fired at his exposed chest. The calculating dragon was getting frustrated, this worked to her advantage.
He roared with plasma beams, recklessly tossing his limbs about, hoping to hit Samus. Instead, she curled into the morph ball and rolled under him, uncurling and unleashing several missiles into his back. "Die!" he screamed, charging another plasma beam, leaving his mouth wide open.
"You're hungry? Eat this!" Samus yelled. She shot a super missile directly into her opponent's most obvious weak point: his mouth. The space dragon cried out in surprise and terror as he faced the combined explosion of a powerful missile and his own plasma beam.
"You'll beg for mercy," was all he said as he used the recoil as a launch into flight. The bounty hunter below smirked.
You're nothing but an overgrown chicken...
