A/N: This is yet another novel fanfiction I've written, cataloguing the mission played out in Metroid Fusion, the latest Metroid work by Nintendo for the Gameboy Advance. Pure artistic lisence was used. Metroid is owned by Nintendo and the creators of Metroid. So read and enjoy. And please, feel free to leave reviews. Yeah, yeah, this chapter's short as hell. And I don't care...it keeps with the theme I'm working on with keeping each sector a different chapter. So nyar.
Habitation Deck
Part IX - "Rescue"
"These are the times that try men's souls."
- Thomas Paine
"Uneventful" barely described my trip to the Habitation Deck. It was as if the X somehow knew that what I was doing then had no bearing on them whatsoever.
The Habitation Deck had three levels. I made my way to the habitat control console on the third deck, and unlocked the door.
Several non-humanoid creatures sprung out. A mother Dachora and her baby, followed by three typically hyperactive, tiny Etecoons. No doubt overlooked by the X as irrelevant, they were actually quite intelligent creatures.
The mother Dachora dipped her head to me as if in acknowledgment, and strode regally from the room, the comical little procession following.
I waited for several moments to be sure they would get to safety, and then boarded the elevator to the Main Deck.
Etecoons and Dachoras…I'd met these intelligent creatures before. They seemed to recognize me, as well. How unusual to meet again here. In the past, they'd helped me unleash abilities I didn't know I'd had. But where did they run to? I hoped they were safe…
Adam was waiting with more news when I arrived at the Nav. room. "So the survivors were not human…most unfortunate. We can now confirm the deaths of all crew members. I imagined that this was the case, but I had hoped it wasn't so. I believe the X only infected the humans for knowledge…that form is too weak for battle. Samus, I think they're evolving, growing stronger. Some are appearing now that can resist your current weapons. HQ anticipated this and sent Power Bomb data as soon as the hardware team finish it. Download it immediately. Our choice of Data rooms is limited to this one in Sector 5. Go. Now."
