Hello fellow Metroid fans! Its time for another chapter of Metroid-
resurgence! Sorry for the delay, but school has been interfering with my
work. (DARN PREP. FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL EXIT EXAMS!!) Anyway, with life out
of the way, it's time to start the story.
--------Do I have to say it again? I DON'T OWN METROID.-------
Ryan had been with Samus for two weeks now, and had seen absolutely no combat. Washing the hull of Samus's in zero gravity had to be the worst job ever. With chores aside however, Ryan's new pet project was going well, and the DNA strands had formed an almost complete creature in one of the stasis tanks...
--------
Samus was sitting in her chain, surfing the news channels and waiting for her daily nap to commence. The Etecoons were experimenting with her hair. They, for some unknown reason, found her normal ponytail boring. The mother Dachora was cleaning itself, while the child was asleep in Samus's lap. Ryan was still outside cleaning. Yawning, Samus reached over to grab her soda, when she felt something strange and squishy... Samus screamed.
----Outside the ship---
"This stinks. The stupid soap and water isn't going to cut through this stupid blood stain!" Ryan complained. He had spent four straight days trying to get all the gore off Samus's rather abused ship. Samus had planned to take the ship to a repair dock, but had decided to let Ryan do some work instead. "HEY SAMUS! YOUR STUPID DETERGENT DOESN'T WORK ON THESE BLOOD STAINS!" Suddenly, the ship vibrated violently, and Ryan almost lost his balance.
"Umm... Ryan? Get in the ship now." Her voice sounded 'just a little' high strung.
"K. I'll be inside in a second."
"GET IN THE FREAKING SHIP NOW!!"
Ryan scrambled to the hatch with all haste. Knowing Samus, she was either very angry, very scared, or he had messed up doing the laundry again. He arrived to find Samus, in her power suit, holding a frozen Metroid. "Explain. This. To. Me. Now." Her voice was filled with ice, kind of like the Metroid in her hand. (Bad joke alert, kill author.)
"Umm..." Ryan explained how he had started to grow the Metroids to help him fight, and for research, but Samus didn't like the idea of one floating around her pets. "I promise! Spike won't harm any of your pets!"
"SPIKE? You actually named this thing?" Samus held the metroid above her head, near the lights in the ceiling. The ice around 'Spike' started to melt.
"Yeah, I named it! It's MY Metroid!" they were in each others faces now, but 'Spike' had escaped from his ice prison. Samus yelped as the Metroid slid past her face, and landed on Ryan's shoulder. The Metroid wasn't big enough to clam on Ryan's head, but it clamped on his shoulder as best it could. After a few moments, Spike released his grip and 'squealed' as metroid do. "See Samus? I told spike that he (she/it?) couldn't take energy from anyone but me. If I keep him rationed, he can become a full sized metroid, and no one will have to die!"
Samus growled, but finally relented. "Fine, you can keep the Metroid. FOR NOW. But if it ever comes near me..."
"Thank you Samus!" Ryan ran off to his room, spike trailing behind him. The Metroid suddenly turned around however, and started to go toward Samus. "Spike. Come on." The Metroid seemed to heave a sigh, then turned and followed its master. Samus returned to her chair and cleaned up the mess from her soda. With everything settling down, Samus decided to take her nap, this time IN her power suit. Just before she could go to sleep however, Adam woke her with a bounty report.
"Adam, I found a Metroid aboard the ship. That interrupted my nap. Now YOU are interrupting MY nap. WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Samus was in a very bad mood since she wasn't going to get her usual afternoon nap.
"We have a distress call from a nearby planet. They claim to be under pirate attack."
"Great. Guess the nap will have to wait. HEY KID! Get ready for combat!"
-------
Ridley smiled from the oversized bridge of his command ship. Around him, Pirates were attending their stations, ordering ground troops about and shouting out alerts. It was a nice day for Ridley. And as long as it was a good day for Ridley, the troopers around him had nothing to fear. Unless something ruined his perfect day...
"Umm..." A certain ensign started.
"What is it." Ridley stated with a tone of glee, almost scaring the pirate ensign.
"Umm... good news or bad news commander?" Sweat started to form on the pirates scaled head.
"I'll take all the good news you can give me, but if that bad news starts with a S, and ends with a A-M-U-S-space-A-R-A-N, consider yourself relieved of duty. PERMANENTLY."
"Can I have a head start?"
"No."
------
"OK KID, LOCK AND LOAD!" Samus yelled over the sound of re-entry. Ryan, not used to entering an atmosphere, was clinging to a shelf for dear life. The Etecoons and Dachoras were perfectly fine just standing up.
"Samus, tell me when this crazy spinning world place is gone!" Ryan was on the verge of passing out when Samus finally pulled out of the dive. Adam took over and allowed Samus to prep. for combat.
"Kid, you and your pet really need to get used to re-entry. AND GET THIS FREAKING METROID OUT OF MY HAIR!"
------ some time later...----
"I still think 'Spike' was trying to kill me!" Samus and Ryan were trudging through the burning forest, the larva following close behind.
"HEY! Spike was scared, just like me. Don't take it out on him that it likes your hair cause its soft!" Ryan was keeping an eye on the fires around them, and also looking for creatures for Spike to feed on.
"Just how do you know its soft, Huh? What, have you been sneaking into my room at night?"
Ryan blushed an extreme red. He thought Samus was cute, but he knew that he was WAY to young for her. "NO!" he finally answered, "Spike told me that you hair is soft. I can communicate with Spike, remember? Besides, I'm not a pervert!"
"Yeah, right." Samus had half a mind to not believe him, but so far, he hadn't lied to her. 'Better lock my door at night just to be sure.' Samus thought.
Time passed, and the trio arrived at the planet's human colony. Fires covered the base, but several fire fights could be seen nearby. Pirates were leaping over Human barriers without a second thought, and the human defenders could not hold out long.
"Kid, get over and secure the shelter, I'll make sure that the pirates can't send back-up. Make sure that Metroid of yours isn't captured, or I'll have to do a repeat of a previous mission."
Ryan wanted to question what Samus had meant by a repeat, but he refrained from doing so. "Sure thing Samus." He moved off toward the shelters of the colony, Spike hesitantly trailing along. Samus smiled gleefully at the aspect of getting some aggression out that had built up over the last few weeks.
Finding several Pirate drop ships nearby, Samus decided to go for the stylish approach. Screw attacking one of the pirates to death, she landed and opened fire with her Wave beam. Several pirates were soon lying on the ground, but a drop ship was starting to open it's hatch. Samus charged up her power beam and launched a volley of Super Missiles into the open door, leaving a pile of pirate bodies smoldering at the base of the drop ship. More Drop ships could be seen descending, so Samus Speed boosted to another landing zone...
------Meanwhile!------
Ryan moved through a hallway, Spike following close behind. Space pirates and humans alike littered the dank rooms. Spike was floating along, 'sniffing out' life to feed on. A Pirate moved somewhere, and was immediately attacked by Spike. Spike had grown some since it first met Samus, but was growing quickly from the Pirates energy. Ryan was worried about the civilians, and started to run toward the nearby hatch. Once inside, he found a squad of Space Pirates trying to cut their way into the shelters.
"HEY PIRATES! PREPARE TO DIE!" Ryan yelled. He opened up the battle with Wave beam, electrocuting several pirates. The Pirates, now alert to his presence, growled and returned fire. Ryan switched to Ice beam and released a charge shot at a cluster of creatures, freezing and shattering them instantly. More Pirates began to flood into the area, only to find themselves facing the enraged youth.
"This one's for the parents!" A pirate was cut down by Power beam fire, "And this for the Chozo!" Another two felled by a charged Plasma beam. "AND THIS IS FOR HUMANITY!" He tossed six Power Bombs into the Pirates midst, sending most of them to the afterlife. Spike was having the time of its life consuming the energy of several pirates. Soon, he would molt into an Alpha. After several battles, Ryan and Spike were given a well deserved reprieve from the fighting.
------
Ridley was not pleased in the least. The Video-screen on the bridge showed a split screen of Samus destroying drop ships, some new opponent attacking his troops, and a Metroid... 'How is a Metroid still alive?' Ridley though, 'The last of the Metroids were destroyed by Samus on Zebes...' His operation falling apart, a lack of information on his new foes, and the fact that he had run out of ensigns to take his anger out on didn't sit well with Ridley. He suddenly let out a loud screech, and ordered for the fleet to return to base. 'Samus,' Ridley thought, 'you and your friend will pay for screwing with my plans...'
-------End------
Next chapter soon, I promise! Unless the stupid Exit Exams interfere... Review A.S.A.P.! And Palidin2007, I already was planning on having Ryan get some of Samus's powers. So no, you don't have skillz. (* Reviewers may 'jump' the author for putting stupid end notes here)
