Metroid Regeneration
Chapter II
Family Ties
(Family Ties takes inspiration from KatyaCheckov's Inyuasha Story)
Fadley's funeral was kept quite. He was well loved and supported by many galactic races, though Serina didn't really know why, all he said was that he was the Pure Half-Breed®, but that contradicted itself. Whatever it was the GF wanted Fadley's death to be very quiet, they were hiding something. The funeral ended up with Fadley being incinerated and spread throughout the galaxy. The commander came up to her and paid her condolences, sadly they were hollow, and she could sense it. He was scared, of her. That power rushed to her head but she suppressed it, it made her feel sick inside. This whole thing was sick, nobody really cared, she stared into everyone's feelings and all she saw was relief. Anger gripped her soul; she was going to take revenge. If not for Fadley, Space pirates would still be roaming free in the galaxy and attacking planets, If not for Fadley the Deficius System would not be peaceful. He had done so much for these people and all they give him is relief over his death. Serina wanted to know the truth about Fadley and her mother; they had kept it secret for this long but no longer. She wasn't a child anymore.
The science team called her after the next sleep cycle. They seemed very excited about something, "We've been designing this for ages, a new suit for you."
"I'm fine with normal GF uniform"
"Ahh but this enhances your power and speed, only you could handle it."
"My mother…?"
They stopped smiling, "Ehh…she never…tried it" and again they were smiling, they're all creeps. The suit was a white, crystal colour just like Fadley's grav-ball suit, as if they were trying to make her remember. They were very enthusiastic about the specs, "It has stealth camouflage and heat dispensers to suit any extremes of environment. The arm cannons have always been bulky and so we've added a special glove instead, where you can strap on any weaponry and control it and it includes a laser sword." Serina looked closely at it; it had an alien aura around it. The scientists were at the ready, "So you going to try it on?" they smiled expectantly; Serina went purple "NO YOU PERVERTS!" They all swallowed their smiles and took a few steps back. A sigh came from the stairs, "Men," A woman in a scientist gown came down the stairs, her brown hair was curled at the ends and she wore small glasses, "don't worry love, there is changing rooms to your left and I'll adjust it, if it makes you feel safer."
"Yes, thanks"
Serina went to the changing room, looking behind her to make sure no one would peek. The changing room was the usual blank walls and door. Serina took off her t-shirt and jeans, no way was she going naked in the suit, what if it was broken, she could have at least a bit dignity. She looked at the helmet and saw Fadley's head looking up at her. She stared back at it and it smiled before disappearing. She put the helmet on and let the gel pads fit around her head. It felt as if nothing was on her head at all. The suit made her feel quicker as well without feeling bulky. It was designed for speed and strength and Serina could really feel it. Back in the lab, the woman walked up to her and the men pretending not to look. She said, "How does it feel?"
"Perfect match" Serina said peacefully.
"Good, then we can start diagnostics."
"I don't think you need to, it feels perfectly balanced. I can't feel a suit even though I am wearing it."
The woman was wide-eyed and muttered to herself, "How did he do that?"
"Who?"
"Fadley designed the suit, he was so specific, it took us so long to create but since we don't need to run diagnostics, we can all have a nice, long coffee break. By the way, where is Fadley?"
Serina was surprised they didn't know, there was sadness in her voice, "He's dead." The room went silent, the scientists looked at the ground, the coffee break didn't sound so appetising anymore. The woman was the first to speak, "How did he die." Serina looked into the woman's eyes and said, "It was me, with a laser sword." The woman smiled,
"No it wasn't love. He knew that as well." She seemed sad but happy at the same time, "You need to follow the asteroids now. Like Techzil and Robonil, you know that story. It was one of Fadley's favourites."
"How do you know so much about him?"
"I'm his sister…"
