Here we go with another chapter of Metroid: Ridley's story. There is a lemon in this chap, but it is not graphic or detailed. I don't write porn, I write stories. If you want that stuff, go somewhere else. Also, this chapter had spoilers for Metroid Prime 3, so read on if you dare…

Disclaimer: I do not own any metroid related things, though I wish I owned Ridley because he is my favorite char…

A young dragon that looked like he had just hit maturity paced slowly outside a cave and growled slightly. He was awaiting his mate to give birth to his children, and every time he tried to get in, she would shoot fire at him, causing him to leave. The dragon was black and was in good physical condition, which was a good sign for healthiness for dragons. The black dragon grew impatient and went to lift rocks to relive some stress. An hour later, his mate, a blue dragon, flew over to him.

"Ridley, I'm done…" She said sweetly as she rubbed against the black dragon.

"Finally, I was getting impatient Kyroga." Ridley said, smiling the entire time as he embraced her.

"I'll show you him, come with me dear." Kyroga replied as she flew to the cave, Ridley right behind her. After a moment, the she-dragon stopped suddenly, causing the black dragon to fly into her, sending them sprawling to the ground.

"What was that for?" Ridley asked as he held his head.

"No reason…" Kyroga answered slyly, causing Ridley to realize he was on top of her.

"Is that so, well then, we should get back to our child." The black dragon replied, not hearing the slyness. It was when Kyroga kissed him, he got the message. He entered her and continued mating for about an hour before it started to get dark.

"That was wonderful…" Kyroga purred to him as they lay on their backs and watched the sun set.

"Yes it was, just as it was our first time…" Ridley agreed before getting up. "We shouldn't be out to long; we have a child to get back too."

"You will be a great father..." the blue dragoness said as she kissed him again. They both flew back to their cave and landed.

"Where is she?" Ridley asked, guessing it was a female.

"How did you…she's over here." Kyroga responded, a bit shocked that he knew the sex of their child as she was walking into the cave, Ridley right behind her. The cave wasn't big, but it wasn't very small either. To both of them, it was perfect. On the ledge where they slept, a purple dragon egg sat there.

"There is your daughter, my love." The dragoness told him as Ridley held the egg in his claws.

"What should her name be?" Ridley asked.

"….Shala'Dor. I think it's perfect, since it means 'angel'." Kyroga replied after a moment.

"I like it; it sounds feminine but has a strong tone to it." Ridley agreed.

"…you do realize that what you just said makes no sense, right?"

"Yes."

Ridley put the egg back carefully before asking his mate a question.

"Why did you suddenly want to mate today?" he asked her.

"Because Ridley…I am in heat again." Kyroga replied, blushing slightly.

"Oh hell…"

"What?"

"I'm never going to get any sleep now…." Ridley groaned as he flopped down on the ledge.

"That's right…" Kyroga replied as she pounced on him, finishing what they started earlier.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ridley snapped from his dream and look around the room before sighing.

I wish I could be with you two now….but I will be joining you shortly… Ridley thought grimly as he thought of his punishment he had just gotten.

"Samus, I'm so sorry for killing your parents, I was in rage…and thank you once again for trying to stick up for me." Ridley said out loud to no one in particular.

SAMUS'S POV

Samus had returned to her ship and was flying to where she had last heard the prison ship was, when Adam, her ships computer, flashed.

"Lady, we are approaching where they are reported to be. It seems that they just passed Ser'anin, you remember that planet, Right?" Adam asked her. Samus did remember, Dark Samus had tried to corrupt the planet before she met Rundas, Ghor, and Gandraya. She sighed as she remembered that she had to kill them all, since they had become corrupted by Dark Samus. Rundas was first, he had become corrupted and attacked Samus, then after fighting her for a while, he slipped and was impaled by his own icicle that formed beneath him and the Dark Samus absorbed him. Ghor was next. He had attacked Samus's ship and Samus was forced to fight him as well. Dark Samus absorbed him as well. Then Gandraya was last, absorbed by Dark Samus.

"What are you thinking about, Lady?" Adam asked her as he noticed that she was thinking.

"It's nothing, just remembering the other hunters that I allied myself with to kill Prime. It's a shame that I had to kill them, I wanted to get to know them better." She replied.

"There was nothing you could do, Samus. I'm sure they don't blame you for what you did, they would have died than be servants to her." Adam replied kindly, and it was rare that he called her by her name now.

"Thank you Adam…I wish that you were still alive still." Samus said. She had noticed that just about everyone that she counted as friends died or were never heard from again, and she was getting tired of it.

"I wish I was alive too, Samus, but we can't dwell on the past. We are supposed to track down that prison ship, am I correct?" Adam reminded her.

"Yeah, I remember." She said as they approached the ship. Adam initiated the landing procedures and docked five minutes later. Samus exited her ship and looked around for the door, which she found guarded by two soldiers. One was a human while the other was a white dragon that Samus felt she met before.

"Miss Aran, what brings you here?" the human asked as he saluted her.

"I have come to find out what happened to prisoner 34673." Samus replied calmly.

"Come with me then. Ornlu, you don't mind keeping staying here until you relived of your duties, right?" he asked the dragon, who nodded but stayed silent. Samus met the dragon's eyes with her own, and she defiantly remembered meeting him somewhere.

"Samus, you are going to see things that even make the captain vomit. I suggest that you do not look into the cells, for they might make you do the same." The sergeant, who Samus identified the human's rank to be, warned her.

Samus nodded before following him through the door, where she was met by horrifying sights of prisoners being tortured, raped, and everything else by other prisoners. Even with her nerves of steel, it still made her feel uneasy and she wanted to get out as soon as possible. She finally got out ten minutes later and was relived to see that there were no more cells. A command room greeted her and who she assumed was the captain was ordering around the crew members.

"Captain, can I speak to you?" the sergeant called across the room. The captain looked over to them and ran over.

"What is it, Sergeant?" he asked.

"Miss Aran had come to investigate what we did to prisoner 34673." He replied as he saluted the captain.

"Samus, what an honor to met you, my name is Capt. James Morrowson, but you may call me James." James said as he held out his left hand for her to shake, since Samus's right arm is a cannon when she had the suit on. Samus shook his hand and spoke.

"I was there at Ridley's trial and he looked completely shattered inside, what did you use on him?" Samus asked in a low voice so that only James could hear. James frowned before replying in an equally low voice.

"Come into my office, my crew is still scared of him, even after he left here like that. I will explain all we did and when." He told her as he led her there.

And that ends it. I had some Cameos from my other fics in this chapter that may have importance later, but I doubt it. Next chapter, Samus learns what happened to Ridley. And she is surprised on what James tells her…
