Phantom Fan 21: Sectors 1 and Main Decks revisit. Yes this is going to be the ending of the game, but I will have something else after this. If any guess who playing Ridley role in this, it Discord. Not the real Discord, just an X that takes from of him. After that Scanner true plan is revile and Rainbow fighting the RD-X for one last time. This maybe a long chapter, but let get this show on the road.
The elevator deposited Rainbow at an unmapped part of Sector 1, far away from any of the rooms she had been to previously. Shrugging a bit, Rainbow began to explore the sector once again, looking for a way back to the known areas so she could head for the sector's Navigation Room and hopefully get in contact of Luna.
She enter an room and space jump up a wall and fond more of the floating creatures that the X-Parasites took form of. Using a charge Ice Missile, Rainbow frozen them and fond a E-Tank behind a wall. She grab and drop back down. She took out a few X-Parasites and move to another room. After traveling though a fill with green boiling water, which she stay out of thanks to her Space Jump, she enter another room. Thinking some was hiding in the room, Rainbow place down a Power Bomb and fond a hole after it went off. She drop and saw Single creature is saw from sector 4 and use her new Wave Beam to take care of it.
It quickly took another form and Rainbow use an Ice Missile to take it out. Then the two Parasites took form of a Golden Changeling.
"Ok, that new." Rainbow said and charge her Hoof Cannon.
It turn into a small fight, but the Wave Beam took it down after two charge shots. Rainbow walk though the door and fond a Power Bomb pack. She travel back up and enter a room fill with X-Parasites but this time aiming below her. Rainbow saw a wall blocking her way and use a Power Bomb to clear the way and the X-Parasites took form of two Golden Changelings. The fight was a bit harder, but it still took two charge shots of the Wave Beam to beat them both. Rainbow absorb the parasites to refill her suit shields and move on.
She drop down one room and enter a room fill with the green boiling water again this time had those floated creatures. Using a Charge Ice Missile again, she frozen them and Space Jump over then until she reach an Red Eye Door guard again.
Rainbow sign and fire an ice missile after the real eye show and enter the room. She was able to see the hole and drop down. Once she landed she saw the Statue of Discord again. Which confuse her even more. She saw it break back at one of the frozen rooms and an X-Parasite flew from it. Rainbow saw it eyes glow and ready her Hoof Cannon. She watch as it turn into a bigger look-a-like of Discord and roar.
'They can copy my ability to speak but not Discord's? Something tell me that the Elements won't been needed here.' Rainbow thought as she charge up her Wave Beam.
X-Discord snap it fingers and soon a cotton candy cloud appear and made it rain chocolate milk.
"Really?! You have to copy that?!" Rainbow yell, not believing it won't done that.
Then Rainbow slip and fell. She look down to see that the cloud and rain was a cover up for the soapy floor.
"You are just as bad as Discord, but I'll will said he better at this." Rainbow said and fire her Wave Beam.
It hit it and it let out a cry of pain. Rainbow smile and stood up as the soap disappear.
"Yeah, I think the real Discord would agree that does hurt." Rainbow said and fire another charge Wave Beam.
It roar again and took into the air and set on the Cotton Candy Cloud. It snap it fingers again and Rainbow quickly dodge the rainbow thunderbolts that look like her Cutie mark. That brought back painful memories for Rainbow, still she wasn't going to let it win. Rainbow dodge another and fire her charge Wave beam and hit X-Discord. It roar again as the pain hit it. Rainbow ready another charge shot and watch as the cloud now disappear and the X-Discord did something she never seen the real Discord do, blow fire at her.
Rainbow Space Jump over the attacks and fire her charge shots as she still above it. After shooting for minutes X-Discord let out a loud shriek, the volume almost hurting her ears. It then took form of the Core-X and rush it her. Rainbow jump over it and switch to her missiles. After six missiles the shield broke and Rainbow absorb it. Her suit gave her an update once more.
"Screw Attack ability regained. Somersault into emeries." It said.
Rainbow use her Space Jump and felt her body release electric as she jump. She left the room and use the Screw Attack to take out the X-Parasites forms and left the room. Rainbow made her way back to the Navigation Room and try to contact Luna, but got Scanner again.
"Rainbow, your work is done here. Leave the rest to the Princesses...You should start preparing to leave.." Scanner told her.
Rainbow, not in the mood to listen to such an order, yelled, "Are you kidding me? Haven't you figured out how dangerous the X are? How fast they can reproduce?"
"Yes, and there is quite an interest in the X, particularly the RD-X. I am sure such a life-form would have endless potential applications." Scanner said.
"All right that it! You Mr. Scanner are a twisted mind Pony to think you can control the X-Parasites for you own gain!", Rainbow shouted before she thought on what she said, "Wait a minute, You are trying to control them!"
"HA! Yes, but I also had a back up incase they got out of hoof, but you destroy it!" Scanner said sounding angry at the end.
"YOU ARE CRAZY!", Rainbow yell, "You can't control any life that it takes. And what back up plan?"
"You should know, You have their DNA." Scanner told her.
Rainbow was shock even more.
"METROIDS! YOU WERE THE ONE THAT MADE METROIDS!?" Rainbow shouted.
"Yes, thanks to getting some of your Metroid DNA, I was able to send Metroids I made to the station, but you poke your nose into somepony else busies! Well no more, Once I get the princesses to see my ways, the X-Parasites along with the RD-X, will stop our emeries. After remaking the Metroids however." Scanner said.
Rainbow growl, "I take that back, you're not crazy, you're INSANE!"
"I'm insane? You don't know a thing about my plan. I knew you would try to destroy the RD-X. That's why I stopped caring about you and your suit. My brother had a Plasma Beam modification ready for some time, but didn't send it so I could keep researching the RD-X. Yet you still obtained it due to alternate means. I also surprise that the Diffusion Missile upgrade was sent to you and you retrieved it... Bravo, Rainbow Dash." Scanner said.
"You are still insane! Whatever your up to it will fail! It doesn't matter what you send, it's going to be overwhelmed by the X in some way. And then you're going to be the one who doom the Equestria, along with just about everything else in this universe. For a scientist, you're a real idiot! You're too blinded by your own desires to realize that the X hunger for form, knowledge, and power! They're a plague and here you are underestimating them! You won't get away with this crazy idea of yours!" Rainbow yell.
"I already have. I lock up the station after blocking all contact so you won't get in my way...HEY! What are you doing? Let go of me." Scanner started to say but sound like some pony was in the room with him.
Rainbow waited for the static to clear out and a new voice come in.
"Rainbow Dash! Are you there?" a voice said that Rainbow knew.
"Apple Jack? Is that you?" Rainbow ask.
"Sure is." Apple Jack said before Pinkie pipe in.
"Oh this look cool. HELLO! Anypony there?" Her voice said.
Rainbow shook her head at Pinkie crazy trackments.
"Just me, Pinkie." She said.
"Rainbow Dash?! How you get in there?" Pinkie voice ask.
Then Rainbow heard another new voice.
"Rainbow Dash, This is Work Tool, the one that been sending you some of your weapons. We have arrested my brother for crimes against Equestria." The voice said.
"Really, Well your brother is insane." Rainbow said.
"Yes, I may study the Parasites as well, but I agree that they must be destroy. But even if you destroy the station, they will continue live on SR388." Work Tool said.
"Rainbow whatever you have to do, do it now. Scanner won't stop you this time." Twilight voice added.
"Right! I may not be an Egg-head like you but I'll come up with something." Rainbow said and the cut the transmission
Rainbow had to think. If she could get rid of the Parasites on the Station and SR388 in one blow...
"That it!", Rainbow shouted, "Time to wipe these parasites out."
Scanner struggle as two guards held him in place. Both Luna and Celestia look over him as Work Tool and The rest of the Mane 6 got all the notes.
"Well here all that we learn about the X-Parasites." Work Tool said handing the notes to Celestia.
Celestia look over them and said, "I quiet surprise on both of your discoveries but they must not come here."
Luna took the notes and look over them as well. It sicken her hearth that somepony wanted to control them to get rid of their emeries by using a creature that almost kill one of their kind.
"Guards! Take him to the prisons. He no longer a worker of my." Luna said.
"WHAT?! NO! You don't understand with them we can protect our home! They will change history..." Scanner shouted as he was drag away.
"No, dear Brother. You try to doom our home, like Rainbow Dash said." Work Tool said then turn to the lab.
"Work Tool, this lab is now yours. See if you can help Rainbow in anyway." Celestia said.
"No, it Luna job to help her. After all, she did save her life." Work Tool said turning to Luna.
"Yes, Thank you Work Tool." Luna said and ran back to her seat to watch over Rainbow Dash.
Her eyes widen as the Blue dot was being chase by the Red dot.
"Please be careful Rainbow Dash." She said.
Rainbow made it though the areas of the Main Docks and soon arrive in the Operations Decks. After walk though the hatch she climb up to the hatch that lean to the room. But fond it lock. Then heard something behind her. She drop down and look up as one of the RD-X flew down.
The two stare at each other both waiting to make their move.
"I finally fond you...Metroid." The RD-X said.
"Metroid? Your hunting me down because I have Metroid DNA? New flash pal I never fought Metroids in my life. The save me from the X-Parasites in other words...you!" Rainbow said.
"Your body was surprisely useful. We never thought there was a body like this that exist." The RD-X said.
"All you do is enter a body, kill the host and use it for you own deeds. Which is why I fight all of you!" Rainbow told it.
"Maybe so, but it helps us blend in. Once we get to your home planet we will have all the bodies we need." The RD-X told her.
"YOU WILL NOT HARM ANYMORE PONIES!" Rainbow shouted and rise her Hoof Cannon.
"You Metroids are foolish. Once you are gone, the Metroids will be wipe from the universe...forever." The RD-X said and ready it horn.
Rainbow fire a charge Wave Beam at the RD-X and it was knock back. It rose and shot a Ice Beam at her. Rainbow jump out of the way and fire an ice Missile that frozen it. She fire a quick charge shot before the RD-X broke free. It then flew up in the air and started to build up speed. Rainbow knew it was getting ready for a Sonic RainBoom. Then another idea pop in her mind. Rainbow flip her wings and started to use her Screw Attack at the same time. Just as the RD-X was ready to use the Sonic Rainbow Boom, Rainbow was ready with her new attack.
They both shot at each other leaving a giant boom behind them. They hit each other head on and both fell to the ground. Rainbow shook her head and fire another Wave Beam. Rainbow smile after that. By using her wings to stay in place when using the Screw Attack, she made a new attack. She call it Screw Rainbow Attack, after the Screw Attack and that it too leaves behinds a Rainbow ring.
The RD-X ready it horn again but Rainbow was quicker. She fire another Ice Missile the charge her Wave Beam. After the shot, it charge up for the Sonic Rainboom again and Rainbow counter it with her new Screw Rainbow Attack. Again they hit off each other and fell to the ground, Rainbow using the time to charge her cannon.
Then the RD-X switch it fight plan and try to hoof punch Rainbow. Rainbow block it and threw one back. They trade blows for a while before Rainbow back away and fire a Charge Wave Beam that knock it down one last time. Rainbow smile and walk up to it but stop as it started to grow.
'No way... Is it somehow tapping into Elements energy and using them?' Rainbow thought worry.
However, possibly in an attempt to become as powerful as it could, the RD-X's body began to bulge, growing larger and coming to resemble a sort of demonic combination of Rainbow Dash and a Hornoad. As its tongue hung from its mouth, Rainbow thought to herself, 'Maybe I shouldn't be so worried... It all depends on what that thing can do now that it looks... ugh... like that.' Suddenly, the RD-X leapt up, attempting to crush Rainbow underneath it. Rainbow use her morph ball to rolling across the ground while dodging and charging her beam. As the creature turned around to face him, she let the charged attack loose, the beam hitting it directly in the face.
The beast gave off a pained roar and attempted to crush him again. Rainbow continued to dodge the jumps and shoot it with charged beam shots. Clearly, this mutation was a bad desperate attempt on the X's part, as it soon collapsed to the ground with a weak growl. Its body then morphed, reverting to its Core-X state. Since it had somehow absorbed the Ice Beam into itself, the Core-X had an eye and fired Ice Beam shots at Rainbow. She quickly dealt with it while avoiding the Ice Beam shots and soon cracked the hard shell, the X inside floating in the middle of the room. Before Rainbow could grab it, however, it floated away, escaping the same way it got in.
Rainbow considered pursuing it for a moment before shrugging, "Eh, it's not such a big deal. I'm just about done here anyway."
Rainbow jump back up to the hatch and enter the room. Running over to the computer console, she eyed the controls for a minute before figuring it out somewhat, at which point she began typing on the computer's keyboard. After a moment, the computer screen changed from blue to green, reading 'Orbit change implemented. 3 minutes to impact.' At the same time, the female computer voice spoke, "Propulsion sequence activated. Destination: Planet SR388."
Rainbow grinned to herself, "Well, that did it. Now it's time to get the heck out of here!" As the station rumbled briefly from its propulsion sequence starting up, Rainbow activated the Speed Booster and ran out of the Operations Room, hurrying to the Docking Bays.
The whole Station was shaking as it got closer to SR388, After getting through the corridor leading into the station, which looked like it had been attacked by something violent, Rainbow ran into the hanger, only to find that her ship was gone! She also noticed that the docking bay door looked like it had been destroyed and there was a shell left behind by an evolving Metroid sitting where it had been like the other times she seen. As Rainbow looked around worriedly, the owner of the shell suddenly burst through the nearby wall.
Rainbow gasped as she saw that the creature that came through the wall was a fully grown Omega Metroid! It gave off a loud screech after it landed, fixing its eyes on him. Rainbow tried firing shots, charged shots, and Ice Missiles at it, but none of them did anything to the creature. As it began to walk closer towards him, Rainbow then try her new Screw Rainbow Attack, leaping towards the Omega Metroid. Before he could reach it, however, it swung its claw back and slashed at her.
Its attack hit the mark, as it cut right through the attack and slashed across Rainbow's suit. The claws cut right through the suit and slightly into Rainbow's skin, sending her flying back as a splatter was heard. Rainbow landed on her back hard, pushing herself slightly off of her back with her left hoof as her right hoof attempted to apply pressure to where she had been attacked. It wasn't enough, though; even though the claws only glanced her skin, they still made a deep cut. Although her suit was screaming alerts at her through her HUD, Rainbow couldn't muster the strength to stand back up, clutching her side as the Omega Metroid began to approach her.
Then something happen, Rainbow looked up, seeing the blue X that she had battled on the Operations Deck floating between her and the Omega Metroid. The Omega Metroid stopped walking as it saw the X float for a second before it took on Rainbow's shape again. Once it landed, it ready its Ice Beam, which it had retained after being destroyed and ran up to the Omega Metroid. It then began firing shots into the creature's chest, the Metroid screaming in pain as the cold shots hit it.
The Omega Metroid backed up to the wall, the RD-X moving closer and firing more Ice Beam shots into its chest. Although it continued to fire shots, the Omega Metroid managed to pull its claw back and slash the RD-X. The attack sent the RD-X flying backwards from the slash. It didn't fly very far, though, as, due to it still being weak, it soon reverted to its Core-X shape, absorbing the Ice Beam again and floating just a short distance above Rainbow as the Omega Metroid drooled at the sight of it.
"I was wrong about you. You are not a Metroid. Metroids do not attack their own kind. Forgive Rainbow Dash, I'm Sorry." It said.
Rainbow look at it and said, "I forgive you, now let take care of the thing...TOGETHER!"
Knowing it was now or never, Rainbow got to her hooves and, still clutching her side, leapt up and absorbed the RD-X.
After it was completely absorbed, the appearance of Rainbow's suit changed one more time. All the light Purple turn into her fur color, Cyan and all the Cyan that was in it before turn into the rainbow colors. Her visor turn green as all her shields was refill. Rainbow's cut also healed, and the hole in the suit was repaired as well.
"Let Buck some Metroid butt!" Rainbow shouted and rise her Hoof cannon.
The Omega Metroid roared angrily at Rainbow for stealing its meal and began to approach her again. Rainbow charge her cannon a rush up to it, firing her new Ice Beam! The Omega Metroid didn't like that any better than when the RD-X was attacking it, but it was determined not to let a potential meal get away. Rainbow continued to pump charged Ice Beam shots into its chest while easily avoiding its attacks, feeling completely like herself after absorbing the RD-X. Finally the Omega Metroid fell as the Ice Beam did it trick.
"1 minute until reach Planet SR388." the female voice said reminding Rainbow Dash what she was here for.
"Darn it! How am I going to get off this Station?!" Rainbow shouted.
Her attention was then directed towards the broken hanger door as she heard the sound of engines and saw that it was her ship! She jump towards it and started to fly for the first time since coming here.
After the airlock was done depressurizing, Rainbow walked into her ship and was surprised to see the Etecoons and Dachoras she had rescued earlier standing at the ship's controls. Her surprise was quickly replaced by gratitude, realizing that they had gotten her ship out of harm's way. They seemed glad to see her as well and, after she had taken her seat, they broke away from the side of the station. They then set the ship to go as fast it could, moving away from SR388 as the PRL Station began to get closer to it.
Soon, there was a massive explosion as the SRL Station impacted SR388, engulfing the entire planet in a fiery explosion as the explosives on board the station detonated. But Rainbow Dash, the Etecoons, and the Dachoras were far away from the planet by the time that happened. After she had thanked them, the mother Etecoon curled up in the back of the ship, each of the Dachoras snuggling up against her, one on top of the other, while the baby Etecoon fell asleep on its mother's back. Rainbow smiled at them for a minute before turning her attention back to the controls, setting the ship on a course back to Equestria.
Here it is, the ending for the game. But I'm not done yet. There still a few more things that I have to do before I think about making more Metroid Stories for Rainbow Dash. I had one guest give me the idea for Rainbow Dash doing the Metroid Prime games. What about you fans? Should I give it try or do you have another Metroid game I should try. Please review and I don't have any of the Prime Games, just to get that out of the way.
