Metroid Reality, Chapter 3
A gigantic beast had just erupted from the lava in the floor. It was at least ten stories tall and had spikes coming form its stomach.
I hit the button on my helmet and scanned the beast. "Morphology: Kraid. Sergeant Commander of the Space Pirates. Although his size may intimidate most life forms Kraid is rather weak. Scans indicate a weakness in his mouth. Ballistic weapons such as Missiles are highly recommended. Although Kraid doesn't usually fight close up he launches spikes from his sternum and chest cavity that can easily pierce solid material. Avoid at all costs as they contain poison. Scans also indicate some modification done to Kraid. His hide is incredibly strong and durable making it impervious to all weaponry. Shooting him in the eyes will trigger a stimulus effect causing his mouth to open." The scan told me.
"How do I get up there?" I said, barely dodging the spikes he shot at me. I noticed a ledge and jumped up to it and then to another higher one. I was face to face with it. I shot his eyes with the Power Beam and his mouth opened. I shot about three missiles into him before he closed it. A meter under my energy showed his energy. It was still high. "Where is Samus?" I demanded. His response was a roar at me. Even with this suit on his breath was awful. I continued to shoot his eyes and missile his mouth and he eventually gave off one final roar before sinking back into the lava. Once gone the lava sank and I dropped down to the floor. A door was ahead. Was he guarding something? Maybe its Samus.
I opened the door and ran through but she wasn't there. Just multiple dead pirates. "Space Pirate: These appear to have been killed due to sudden change in body temperature. Scans show they were frozen with an Ice Beam and left for the heat to thaw them out. The sudden change destroyed them internally."
"Ice Beam. Maybe Adam will know more about this." I said almost leaving before noticing an orb in the center of the room. "What's this?" I said touching it. The suit absorbed it and I felt myself float in midair. I felt very calm and relaxed. Closing my eyes I felt energy surge through my whole body. When my eyes opened I was in a different suit. It had large shoulder plates and was much thicker. It felt more comfortable too. It also had more room in the front. My breasts were getting cramped in the other suit. "What is this?" I asked myself looking at my hand. "Varia Suit obtained. You may now survive extreme heat and cold. Defensive shielding also increased.
I backtracked to the Navigation Room near the elevator to Serris Depths. "What have you found?" Adam asked without delay. "This big THING called Kraid." I said. "Kraid? He's one of the main leaders of the space pirates. But Samus destroyed him twice. How is he alive?" Adam said puzzled. "The scans told me he was experimented on." I informed him. "Upload them to me." He instructed as a slot opened on the computer for my arm cannon. I inserted the cannon and he got the scans I had taken thus far. "Interesting. They must have cloned him again. The same they have done to Ridley in the past. It appears his body had small traces of a chemical called Phazon in him." He told me. "Phazon? What's that?" I asked. "A dangerous chemical. When exposed to it long enough you begin to grow dilerious. Then insanity sets in. Ultimately, death." He said in a low serious voice.
"This other scan is interesting too." He said. "Which one?" I asked him. "These space pirates were killed with an Ice Beam. Samus has an Ice Beam, but so does the SA-X. Which one used it is beyond my comprehension." He said. "Well what now?" I asked getting bored with this talk. "Sorry. Well while you were fighting with Kraid I scanned some of the areas in Serris Depths. There is a Navigation Room beyond that room you entered with the extreme heat. Go there and I'll brief you further." He instructed. "Is your objective clear?" "Yes, I'm on my way." I said leaving and heading back to the room I was instructed to go to.
Entering I found that it was hot but not hot enough to harm me. "whew. Could get a good tan in here." I said trying wipe sweat from my face but noticing the suit was in the way. I hurried through the room jumping over a pit of lava and entering the next room. It was a Navigation Room and it was much cooler in here. "I made it." I said uplinking to the computer. "Excellent. I have been tracking down space pirate movement and found that whoever has been killed them is stationed here in this Recharge Station. If it is Samus bring her to the ship. If it is the SA-X then run. Even if weakened it is still a dangerous organism." He said. Quite frankly it scarred the shit out of me. "Head to the TARGET. It's a straightforward path." He told me. "Is your objective clear?" he asked as he always would. I never got tired of it though. "Yes. I'll be careful." I told him.
This next area was rather easy to navigate. A few green doors were in my way but they were attached to the ceiling and I didn't have to go that way. In the next room I looked down from where I was and saw something amazing. It looked like Samus but in a different suit. It was black and red. It was killed a bunch of space pirates with a purple beam that seemed to electrocute them. I scanned it before it left the room quietly.
"Morphology: Metroid Prime. Scans show the core essence of Metroid Prime has been in stasis for years. It had been transfering itself into a Phazon corrupted Power Suit. It can produce its own Phazon and use Phazon powered weaponry such as the Phazon Beam. Scans show no way of damaging it at the moment. Avoid at all costs. Bears a resemblance to Samus Aran's original Power Suit and your own Power Suit. Do not mistake the two as it may lead to death. Metroid Prime is capable of tracking down various power sources as well with a Phazon powered visor known as the Phazon Visor."
"Metroid Prime. Wasn't that the name of Mike's game?" I said trying to remember it. "Man if only I'd been paying attention when he played it I might know of a way to kill it. Stupid me! I'm such a moron. This is what I get for paying more attention to myself than my surroundings I guess." I said to myself before following Metroid Prime through the door.
Once through the room was empty. Nothing there except another chance to drop down. Then I noticed a hole in the wall to my right. I heard an explosion below and looked again. It was something like the suit I just saw only different. "Another one?" I said quietly. It was an orange version of Metroid Prime.
"Morphology: SA-X. The SA-X, short for Samus Aran-X, is an X parasite mimicking bounty hunter Samus Aran. Scans show weakness in armor integrity but no way of exposing this weakness at the moment. A piercing weapon like the Plasma Beam may be required to harm it. Maximum firepower suggested when engaging. The SA-X has no real goal other than extermination of its one predator, Metroids. Its best to avoid this creature when encountered." The scan informed me.
I watched it look around and then shoot a green door infront of it with a larger missile than I had. The door opened and closed when it walked through. I dropped down and tried to open the door but no luck. "Maybe the hole?" I said walking the way the SA-X had come.
Inside was a bunch of tubes with bodies floating in them. One of them caught my attention. I scanned the dragon like thing.
"Mechanoid: Meta Ridley. Captain of the Space Pirate forces. Scans show low life signs and heavily damaged tissue. Injuries caused by concentrated laser blasts to chest area. Armor was designed to impliment the ultimate attack force of the space pirates. Traces of a Power Beam and Missiles are found on the chest and neck area. Appears to have been killed by Samus Aran on the planet Tallon IV."
"As long as it's dead I'm fine." I said trying to shake the fear that this being shot into my body. I found a door on the other side of the room and went for it. But before I left the tube with Meta Ridley shattered. It roared faintly before some strange red blob floated at it. I scanned the blob before it could hit him.
"Morphology: X parasite. X parasites had until recently lived on SR388 with Metroids. Were the main food of Metroids until Samus Aran had terminated the ones on SR388. X parasites bond to organic matter and take over the host. Absorbing the knowledge from it and using its body. You have been vacinated by the suit to prevent infection from X parasites. You cannot kill an X parasite but if you touch one with your suit it will be drained of its life force and die. However you do not gain anything from this process."
The blob attached itself to Meta Ridley as it shook back and forth violently. Its massive tail was destroying everything around it. I stood clear as Meta Ridley began to change. Feeling the urge I tried to scan him but he flew away through the ceiling before the scan could be completed.
"That was close." I said to myself walking through the door. Two more doors. I entered the left one and found a Save Station. I uploaded my progress to Adam and recharged my energy and missiles. I made my way to the other door and through it was a platform with a large missile on it.
I touched it and it was absorbed by my suit. "Super Missiles obtained. Super Missiles have the power of five missiles but do not fire as fast. These open Green Doors and can blast away some wreckage." The suit told me. But the doors in this room closed as I was faced with a new threat. The ceiling exploded and rocks blocked the path I came and down came the SA-X. "Oh f..." I started. I was stopped by the sudden burst of energy that shot my suit. Energy at 98. It took out one whole energy tank! I fired a Super Missile at it and was knocked back on my butt by the recoil. The SA-X was harmed slightly but wasn't stopping. I used all five Super Missiles on it and it was still coming. It shot me with a blue beam and I froze.
"c...c...cold." I said shivering. My lips were frozen and my body was frigid. I could only see through the visor. It came up to me when something came down at it and fired at it frantically. It was Samus. She saved my life again! Shooting it with a blue beam it destroyed the SA-X and she absorbed it. I began to thaw myself out.
"Samus! I'm glad to see you! Come on! Adam is waiting at the ship!" I yelled to her. Nothing. She just stood there. "Didn't you hear me? Hurry your ass up!" I shouted again. I walked up to her still feeling stiff and saw her eyes. Nothing, just white. "Samus?" I asked before she jumped out of the room. I wanted to follow her but I was feeling sleepy from the cold. "Energy at 13. Warning Life Support Systems dropping." The suit told me as I fell to the ground and began to snooze.
When I woke up I was in another room but in some cage and I was tied to a wall. I saw my suit across from me. "What's going on?" I said weakly. "She's awake I see." Some frightening voice echoed in my head. "Who are you?" I asked. "Call me. Mother Brain." The voice said. "Mother Brain?" I said confused. "Whoever you are you don't seem to be as much a threat as my troops say you are. Sure you defeated Kraid but he was never a real threat anyway." The voice said again. "Where are you?" I demanded. "Right in front of you!" The voice said. The lights in the room came on and a brain in a jar was before me. "Gross!" I shouted trying to break free. "Do not worry. I don't plan to harm you. I just want to play a little game." It told me. "game?" I asked. "Yes. I will free you but you will have to find your suit on your own with no weapons. Sound fun yet?" it joked. "Not really." I said back. "Release the restraints!" it ordered as my arms and legs came undone. I fell to the floor but landed safely. "Now go!" it ordered as a door opened below me. I saw the suit somehow teleport out of the room. I climbed down and found that the floor was very rough on my feet. Feet?
I looked down at myself and saw that I wasn't in my regular clothes I was wearing under the suit. I was stripped down to my pink bra and pink thong. "Just my luck! This is the second time this has happened to me! Everyone in space is a pervert!" I shouted to nobody in particular. The door above closed and I walked down this hallway filled with machines. Nothing too dangerous. Just very cold in here.
"Man, of all the time's I had to wear a thong this is the worst! The draft in here is awful!" I said keeping my arms crossed to warm my upper body and alternating sometimes to warm my lower body. Eventually I found a window. Across was my suit. But it was across this bridge into space. "Easy! I'll just open this door and..." I said before realizing my mistake. "Actually, I won't do that. Chances are its just open space out there and human's don't exactly live long in it. And not wearing a suit would probably mean something bad." I said remembering something about school. Knowing that there was no oxygen in space and my skin would just blow up like a balloon until you pop. Unlike cartoons however it would be a very bloody and messy pop. I found my way over to another open door and walked over a long hallway. To the left was the room I just saw. My Suit.
Walking up to it I touched it and it opened up. I got inside and it felt great to wear it again. However I could feel more of the internal stuff rubbing against my skin due to the lack of clothes. "Why is it I never noticed this thing poking my butt before? Ah enough about my ass! I need to find a navigation room before it's too late." I said running out of the room and through a door directly infront of me.
A gigantic beast had just erupted from the lava in the floor. It was at least ten stories tall and had spikes coming form its stomach.
I hit the button on my helmet and scanned the beast. "Morphology: Kraid. Sergeant Commander of the Space Pirates. Although his size may intimidate most life forms Kraid is rather weak.
