Academy Dorms- Dawson's house

Dawson as usual was in his house, trying to take a break.

Dawson: Been about a week since that whole dark flu incident. Now I can just use this time to kickback and relax.

That was the plan, but a certain little egg had other plans.

Dawson: Why do I hear the sound of an egg cracking?

His first instinct was to check the metroid egg, and sure enough it was hatching.

Dawson: Sweet baby crappers! This isn't a fossilized egg, it's an actual metroid egg.

Then the baby popped out of its shell, it took a good look at Dawson. Dawson held out his hand to the baby metroid, it seemed to accept him. But the this metroid did something to Dawson that he has never heard of throughout the metroid series, the baby metroid spoke to him.

?: Metroid...Shearer.

Dark Hunter HQ

Dawson: A talking metroid? Now I've seen of everything. Listen... I'm not sure if you can understand me, but just be mindful of the others. Do you happen to have a name by any chance?

?: Troi

Dawson: Well then Troi, my team the Dark Hunters will have to question you. You happen to be the first of your kind that understand English and can speak it.

As soon as Dawson walked in Troi followed him like a child would follow their mother.

Tails: Dawson, for what can I help you with today.

That's when Eggman pointed out the metroid in the room.

Eggman: Dawson, how is there a metroid following you around? How's it even here in general?

Dawson: The "fossil" of the metroid egg I got from the flea market wasn't a fossil at all, but an actual metroid egg. Now Troi has hatched.

Amy: Who's Troi?

Dawson: That's what the metroid calls itself, speaking of which Sage run a full diagnostic scan of him. He's unlike any normal metroid before him, and I want to find out why.

Sage: Very well then.

Troi seemed to know what to do in this situation, he just floated patiently while he was being scanned.

Sage: Scan complete. Diagnostics will take some time until the results come through.

Dawson: Welp, might as well head back and get some rest, come along than Troi.

Troi: Follow...Metroid...Shearer.

Academy Dorms- Dawson's House

Dawson: Home sweet home.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Spyro: Daws? Do you have a few moments?

Dawson: Can it wait Spyro? I got my hands full right now.

He came in anyway.

Spyro: Kid, about earlier.

Dawson: Spyro, there's need to apologize about it. You just wanted to find the truth out yourself.

Spyro: You don't blame me for my fight against you? Why?

Dawson: Bud, I'm going through the same thing you as you. Even today I'm still trying to find out who I am.

That's when Spyro looked to Dawson's side.

Spyro: Is that...a metroid?

Dawson: Yep, turns out the fossil was an actual metroid egg.

Spyro: Well the, I'll let off the hook, later kid.

Troi: Ridley's...Heir?

Dawson: Unfortunately yes, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold the truth from him. Sooner or later he'll find out himself.

Dawson(thoughts): I just hope I will be able to pull Spyro out of that heck hole before he's in too deep.

Sage: Dawson, the diagnostics of Troi's scan have been analyzed. Head back to headquarters for the results.

Dark Hunter HQ

Dawson: What do the results say Sage?

Sage: The metroids of this world are unlike those that came from Sr388 or Zebes. The elemental energies of this world seem to make the metroids stronger, they're somehow even able to still evolve making their capabilities even more stronger.

Dawson: Is it possible that when I came here that the same could be said to me?

Sage: Possibly, I have a different theory that may tie to your own powers. The strength of the darkness seems to affect it, the stronger the darkness is the stronger you are, but your powers are much stronger than the darkness...almost as if.

Dawson: My own powers act as a shield that fights against the darkness itself.

Troi: Power...Of...Metroid...Shearer

Knuckles: Power of Metroid Shearer?

Dawson: That's what Troi seems to call me...Though I am curious, Metroid is the Chozo word for ultimate warrior...what does Shearer mean in Chozo?

Eggman: Unlimited potential.

Dawson and Sonic: What?

Eggman: Shearer is the Chozo word for unlimited potential. I've been studying the language for sometime now, figuring out their translations and what they mean.

Dawson: Which means Metroid Shearer stands for ultimate warrior of unlimited potential. But why would Troi call me that?

Troi: You are the one from legend...The Metroid Shearer...All metroids past, present and future knows this legend.

Dawson: It's the very same thing Samus believed I was. I think when she gained the powers of the metroids she must've gain the knowledge of the legend as well.

Amy: But what is this legend of the Metroid Shearer anyway?

Dawson: If Samus' history has been inscribed into Skylands' legends then the Metroid Shearer must be somewhere along those pages. No doubt Eon knows this legend as well, when I get the chance I need to question him this, maybe then I will be one step closer to find out who I really am.
