Metroid Reality, Chapter 2

Doing this stuff was hard. First I wake up in this weird planet and now I have to save this woman who I just met. Just great. Well I have to find these Missiles. Even better, more fighting.

"This blows! I could be getting a nice tan, or sleeping. Instead I have to spend my time down here!" I griped as some water dripped from the cavern ceiling. "Gross!"

Continuing upward from the Navigation Room I found the one door that wasn't red. Going through I found some odd creatures. "Not more." I complained. They didn't attack. Just scurried along the ceiling minding their own business. "As long as they don't bother me." I decided walking through the room.

I was faced with a problem in the next. A wall was in front of me. I shot it with my Power Beam but it didn't fall. Then I noticed a tight passage at the bottom. "Morph." I said to myself. I rolled into the Morphing Ball. Rolling through the passage I ended up on the other end of the wall. "Wow. Don't even feel dizzy from that one. Morph." I repeated and returned back to normal. "Wow. I thought if I said it again I would return." Another bird statue was in front of me. It held a case with some kind of rocket in it. "Must be Missiles." I said touching the case. The suit absorbed them and I noticed a new display. A picture of a missile with the number 10 next to it.

"Handy." I said walking back the way I came. But before I could morph into the ball the passageway closed on itself. "What gives?" I said hearing a noise from behind. Turning I saw the bird statue stand up and look at me. "Oh damn!" I cursed as it shot of few rocks from its mouth. I responded with a few shot from my Power Beam but they didn't stop it. It kept hitting me, Energy at 56. I then noticed that some trigger was now in my cannon arm. I hit it with my middle finger and the arm changed. Now it had four pieces of metal on the outside. I pulled another new trigger with my main finger and a missile shot out and hit the beast. After doing this a few times, and missing about 5 of them, it exploded and a strange orb was left behind. I collected it and the Energy was at 76. The passageway was unblocked.

I ran back to the Navigation Room. "You have Missiles now. Good, however there may be another problem. I've detected some groups of pirates moving along this mine shaft. They may know where Samus is. Try and find them. They're heading for here" Adam pointed out on the main map. The TARGET was a large room with some kind of head in it. "We need to find Samus and get her to the ship. Is your objective clear?" he asked as usual. "Yes, I'm on my way now." I informed him. "Before you leave push the button on the left side of your helmet." He requested. "This one?" I said pushing it and having my vision change. "This is the Scan Visor. I just discovered it from Samus' research on the suit. You can scan objects with this. To turn it off simply pull the trigger to the cannon and instead of firing it will change to the Combat Visor. "Great. I'm off." I told him leaving for the first red door I encountered on my way down here.

"Let's try it." I said firing my last remaining missile at the door. It opened and I went inside. Inside I saw I had to jump down a hole. "Hopefully I'll live." I prayed jumping. Not the best landing. "Man, that hurts even in the suit." I said rubbing my backside. I found a large door in front of me with an odd hole near it. Then I noticed I still had the Scan Visor on. "Let's try it out." I said to myself looking at a computer. A strange orange block appeared over it. It was scanning. "Door lock enabled. Insert metallic sphere key."

"Sphere key? Where is that?" I said looking around for one. Nothing. After about 30 minutes of looking I tried to go back the way I came. No good I couldn't jump up the hole I dropped in. "Damn. I need that key!" I said sitting on a rock. "Need a sphere key. Wait!" I realized running back to the door. "Morph!" I yelled turning into the morphing ball. I rolled into the hole and in a few seconds the large door opened.

"Morph! I guess I'd suck at games." I joked to myself. Through the door was a series of doors and an elevator. I went through one of the doors and inside was a Navigation Room. "What took you so long?" Adam asked annoyed at me. "I couldn't figure out the metallic sphere." I told him. "Honestly. I can't believe Samus' fate rests in your hands. Well this area goes into the heated portion of the planet. Try to avoid some of those areas. Go here." He noted pointing out the TARGET. "You can find something here perhaps. Hopefully it's the whereabouts of Samus. Is your objective clear?" he asked as usual. "Yes. I'll do my best Adam." I said nodding to the computer.

I ran out of the Navigation Room and to the large elevator in the center of the room. I used the Scan Visor and it told me that it led to the Serris Depths. "Sounds spooky." I said crossing my arm and shivering. I stood on the hologram in the elevator and it went down. "I'm scared. I bet something is gonna pop out at me." I said to myself. Again I found a series of rooms. I went into the one on my right and inside my Energy began to drop fast. "Too hot!" I screamed quickly leaving the room. "Not going back there." I said eyeing my energy, which is at 34. "Door number two." I said going into the second door. It wasn't as hot inside so I continued. Again the path split. One of them was too high up to jump. The other dropped.

I dropped down and inside the area I found another bird statue. It held a pair of boots. I touched them and the suit absorbed the data from them. My boots changed to look like winged shoes. I jumped up and went very high. I almost hit the ceiling from it. "High Jump Boots Acquired. Jumping height increased." The suit informed me. I jumped again to get out of the area and then I ran down the path I didn't take. Through another door was a high ledge. I used my High Jump to reach it. Once up was a red door. I hit it with some missiles that I found and it opened. Once through was a room with another door and two things on both sides. One was a platform and the other was some kind of computer. I went up to the platform and stood in it. Light surrounded me and I heard Adam.

"You have found a Save Room. These can record your progress back to me. With it I can help guide you better. Across from you is a recharge station. This will recharge your missiles." He informed me. "That sounds useful." I said to him. "Well recharge and head to the target." He told me. After uploading my progress I went to the station and plugged my cannon into it. My missiles increased. I also noticed that my Energy was back to 99. "Good thing." I said leaving through the other door.

"This could be a problem." I said looking over a large chasm. Lava was at the bottom and there were platforms attached to the ceiling hanging above them. Across was an odd looking object. "Better try to jump them." I planned jumping. It was hard. The platforms weren't fastened tight enough. The last one broke when I jumped to solid ground. "Crap! How do I get back now?" I said before turning to face the object. It was pink and had an E on it. I scanned it. "Energy Tank. This will increase your total energy reserves by 100. It will also fully restore all your suit energy if needed." The scan informed me. I touched it and a pink box appeared above the word "Energy" on my Combat Visor.

Then there was a large hole that led down. I dropped down and expected my legs to break but they didn't. I looked at the door in front of me and it had an eye. I shot at it and it closed before opening again. I did this two more times losing 35 energy in the process. "What could be through here?" I wondered. Perhaps it was Samus. If it was guarded so heavily.

Stepping through the door it seemed quiet until and gigantic beast arose from the pit of lava. I'm a goner for sure.

Who did she find? Metroid fans should be able to guess, see how Fara can fare against him.
