Editors note: This is my first one here. I hope its good. And sometimes things can not happen. Dragons can not regrow wings, and they cant lay that many eggs at one time. Also there are only certain times dragons can mate; not when they choose. Enjoy.
Samus Aran's Love Chapter 1
"Why? Why did you save me?" Ridley sat in a corner of Samus's ship. Anger was flaring in his heart and vengeance on his mind. The dragon was badly injured after his fight with the human. She picked him up after she fought and destroyed Metroid Prime. She told him that if he moved a large enough distance, the computer would fire stun shots at him.
"I want you alive Ridley. The Federation would pay more if you weren't dead. They are interested in you."
A growl rippled through his throat and his muscles quivered along his ebony body shimmering darkly. "What keeps me from killing you now Aran? I could easily destroy you with a burst of laser fire. Nothing would please me more than to watch you die!"
"For a dragon you are stupid. If you did, the heat alone could destroy the computer system. You would drift in space until you died. If you missed you could destroyed the front visor, or the front of the ship. All the oxygen would drain out and you would suffocate. And finally, before I die I could activate the self-destruct sequence and we would blow up. So just be a good boy and stay put." She put the ship in auto-pilot and turned towards him. "At least you are alive.I know the Federation will keep you alive; at least to study you." An explosion rocked the ship.
"Samus, an enemy craft is hailing you. It is registered to the Federation; and they are charging their weapons."
"Samus Aran you are under arrest," the voice blared through the communication system.
"Under what charges; you have no ground to arrest me."
"You are being arrested under the charges of treason, quartering the enemy, and destruction of the Galactic Space Station."
Ridley chuckled. "Samus, you are being bad. Why don't you… give up? They could grant you clemency. Maybe not if they find me though." He shifted to a more comfortable position. His wings were healing, the thin membrane halfway rebuilt.
"Shut-up you stupid dragon," she yelled. "The Federation will not have me or my ship. Computer, charge all weapons and switch to invasive maneuvers. Damper shields to maximum; fire at will!" She flipped a few switches and a countdown started from five minutes. "Ridley, if you value your life, you should use the manual gun turret beside you. Just out the headband on and think." She turned back to her controls and fired a payload of missiles and different beam weapons.
Ridley put the headband on a bit hesitantly. Neural fibers snaked their way into his brain. His vision flickered and he saw the coverage of the entire battle field. When he spotted the opposing craft, he thought (How does this thing fire?). Thirty rounds shot out in a blossom of color and collided with the enemy's telecommunication array; destroying it completely. When they maneuvered around to the back of the ship, he fired at the engines. They flickered and died.
"Good job Ridley, they are dead in the water. (I have to admit, he does look good.)"
"He is not human." A voice said in her head. "He killed your first parents. He destroyed your home. He tried to kill you. He must DIE!" Her plasma beam cut through the hull and pierced the energy chamber. The ship exploded in a blur light. Ridley took off the headband. "5, 4, 3…" Samus flipped a switch and the countdown stopped.
"What was that about Samus?" Relief swept through him; he was not going to the Federation. (At least for now, or maybe not.) he thought looking at Samus.
With no emotion she said "Self-destruct. If I did not kill them in five minutes we would all die. It's a safety precaution; so they won't capture the ship or me. You know I have many enemies."
"Bitch! You could have killed me." She was not in her battle suit; it was going through repairs. He flicked his tail and destroyed the in-cabin gun. He picked her up and slammed her down on her back with his paw on her cheat and a nail on both sides of her neck. "I can kill you if I wish all it takes is a little pressure." He pushed down a modest amount and she raised a gloveless hand and petted the side of his face and neck. He relaxed his grip slightly. "Stop Samus. Stop now. We are enemies and we shall remain so." He twisted the lock on the suit chamber and locked it until he said so. He let her up and crawled back to his spot to curl up and sleep. His body temperature was running higher than usual and he wasn't familiar with the reason why. A snarl emanated from his throat at the thought of what she did. (Humans are so strange. One minute they are trying to kill you, the next…) He opened his eyes to find her still standing there. "What do you want? I need sleep and you need to calm yourself. Now leave me be!" He snapped at her lower legs to scare here; she didn't even flinch. (Heartless bitch, she doesn't even know when to be afraid.)
"Ridley cant you see, I trying to offer you a truce, any way I possibly can." She smiled. Not an evil one, but trustworthy or something else. He didn't know human emotions well, but he knew there was something wrong with it. She was in love with her enemy. His eyes narrowed in realization.
"Samus, leave before you do anything stupid." She took a step towards him, but thought better of it and turned to her sleeping chamber. Once she reached it, she looked back at him and quickly wiped away a tear. She stepped into her stasis pod and fell asleep.
