Chapter I: Repercussions & Pleasant Paradise Blue

With Samus off the map after the destruction of the B.S.L. Station, the politicians in the Galactic Federation had been in harsh debate; with opposition on both sides with the question simple: who to blame for the destruction of the research station? Fingers immediately pointed to the Military and Samus Aran for the actions taken. While the unknown success of several operations had not been known, what was apparent was that the loss of life was unacceptable and someone would be held accountable.

At the stand in the center of a major debate, Representative Ganler, who was pushing for Samus Aran's crucifixion presently had only heard the cliff-notes version of the story before deciding that she was guilty as charged.

"…And I think that the council should drop this far and direct all aims at the capture of Samus Aran right away. With that monster that assisted her dead, the capture should be done with minimal efforts wielded by our sovereign power! Her previous actions mean nothing before the destruction of one of our most prestigious stations and the loss of life; which she no doubt was responsible for!" the words were absolute lies.

There had been proof against the very words he spoke and yet the cheers coming from the other bureaucrats seemed to stroke his pride. He was going to see that she pay for everything that happened, no matter what it was the cost of it. She had been a hero and a big problem for guys like him trying to move up; if only he could push this through then he would be considered a hero.

The clapping soon came to a stop, as did the delusion that the Representative was having, once the next speaker to the board had come to speak against his accusations.

"You may take the stand, Representative Magrius." The supreme chamber chancellor voicing his acknowledgment of the new speaker, this meant that he intended to rebuke the controversial statements already made.

The veteran representative had been voted back into his position for one of many reasons, though one of them was the fact that he was he was intelligent enough to avoid the general babble or present 'band wagon'. He had his facts down to a science and knew for a fact that everything that Ganler had tried to state was almost completely a lie.

"To speak against the travesties listed to smear Samus Aran's name, I address you intelligent councilmen to consider the facts that we have on the reports before us. While Representative Ganler would have us believe that Ms. Aran is guilty of crimes beyond what is stated; the facts show that it was the X-Parasite swarm that had mass produced themselves onboard that were massively responsible for the heavy loss of life. Between their insatiable hunger and their copying the life-forms onboard caused this horrendous string of deaths."

The first part of his speech was to point out the true force behind the deaths of the crew and those scientists onboard the B.S.L. Station during that period of time. With a list of the dead before him, he proceeded to read them off and the determined cause of death, it was well by the 30th name that he stopped reading.

"…As I'm sure you can understand that the murders onboard the station were caused by copied creatures, X-Parasite absorption directly, or suicide in fear of the creatures that had come aboard. This clearing her of that abysmal charge of murder, all Ms. Aran did that would be in question was destroy the station. However it was stated by the reports that estimates would have this same parasite invasion would have overwhelmed our efforts to destroy the creatures, due to their imperviousness to conventional weaponry. It is likely that her decision to blow up the station despite orders was in fact, the sound thing to do. I won't lie when I say we've lost important equipment, but Ms. Aran's selfless actions alongside her unusual partner, known presently as Shuzyn, more than likely averted a serious galactic threat."

The next part of his speech had ended with a steady shock of murmurs, as he could tell this would be a long debate, but as long as the fools kept going on; he would be able to give Samus more time. This appeared to be his goal; he knew that she was innocent of all but a serious crime in the eyes of the military. Likely if he could tie the bureaucratic side of things down, then the huntress would have an advantage. 'It's the best I can do for you here, don't let the beasts get the better of you.' The words more to himself as opposed to anything else, more for his own comfort as he did everything in his power to ensure that there would be no official warrants.

He knew better than to think this would keep the military in check, it might stagger their initial efforts and cut direct funding…but he knew that the 'other hand' of the military would act then. They'd do all of this careful of course, he knew well for the fact that it was going to change the face of things. This battle was easy in his eyes, the information was clear as day and all they would do was deliberate just how right it all was. Of this he had no doubt would be the response: they'd have to pardon her crimes due to the key fact that she was not directly responsible for any of the deaths onboard the science station. He would send her some funds for her duty; he hoped that the surprise would be welcome. She hardly knew him, but as a longtime propionate of her actions he needed no other reasons to aid her.

-With Samus & Co-

On the beach's lush grass and open sand, the space dragon-morph lay out tanning on a blanket, both absorbing the sunlight for energy and warmth. His body felt incredibly comfortable. Shu didn't think twice about anything else, he knew that both Sammy and Samus had gone off to collect some goods from the trees and bushes on the island. It amazed him as to how much was edible on the planet; they had really lucked out.

He let off a sight and rolled onto his stomach, his back was well warmed now; this was a much needed break that he knew he needed. As his body relaxed, he felt the surging of the heat within his blood; the thing that had infected him onboard when he was shot in his second heart. The phazoid bullet had packed just enough of a weaker mutation of phazon to pierce his armored flesh with ease, but as he did not die; his body naturally absorbed the properties as so to keep his body more resistant to the element if it were used again.

He had informed Samus of it, but also reminded her that his body differed heavily from her own during the end-game period of her battle against Dark Samus: his body appeared to be producing a controlled amount of phazon that was presently in a small sac within his chest that was connected to his second heart in a strange way. The X-ray beam had revealed a lot of things that Shu was still trying to determine, but for the most part he was unconcerned with its presence.

This was hardly a time for him to be focused on that and without another moment, he cleared his mind and adjusted his sunglasses while taking in the warmth of the sun and the wonderful sound of the waves washing up on the island beach's edge. Perhaps if they needed dinner, he wouldn't mind taking a dip to catch some of the seafood.

"Finally, you're all mine…" the words coming from a familiar voice, though all the dragon had time to tell was that the breathing was husky; it warned him of something quick about to happen.

Shuzyn had no time to sit up, all he would feel was a warm body straddling him at the waist; he knew for a fact that it was Samus. As only her powerful frame could hold him so securely, despite their size difference; she was easily his match and he knew it.

"Sammy jumped you this morning and you assumed I was fine with that." Her tone was accusatory, though the husky breathing and her spicy scent spoke well of her true intention, even as she continued.

"I'm going to take what's rightfully mine, even if I share you with someone important to me; you are still mine, Shuzyn. It will remain that way, now enough talk, its time to take your punishment." No sooner had she finished that last word did a wicked grin break across her face.

(-Mature Content ahead-)

The huntress looked down at her prey and leaned in to bite along his neck slowly, tracing her fingertips over his smooth scales. She enjoyed how his belly felt beneath her touch, she felt him quiver as she continued to touch her luscious mate. He was supposed to be a vicious dragon and here he was purring and letting her do as she wished, he had become a bit too complacent with her taking him. She'd have to rouse more fight out of him it seemed.

As her hand groped his sheath, she made sure to give weak squeezes, something that would force him to take action…if he wanted more attention he would stop being so placid. She wanted to force him to submit as she often did; perhaps he was just too relaxed? She couldn't actually place it. Though it hardly mattered to her, she'd force him to know what it was through her actions and if he wanted more then he'd respond.

Her thinking actually appeared to affect her mate rather quickly as he felt her attentions remained…exactly the same as five minutes ago, he let off an annoyed chirp and started squirming to get free of her: if she didn't want to really play then he'd leave. He wasn't looking to be tormented by her. Though he did find when he rose that her grip on him tightened and her groping hand at his sheath squeezed harder before massaging his scaly flesh more.

"Mm…stop, if you won't go all the way." He said it with a growl and attempted to move her off of him.

Samus grinned at him and grabbed both of his wrists and slammed them back to the sand while she straddled him; purposely pressing her cloth-covered loins flatly against his own. She would not let him up without a serious struggle, she intended to have him on this sandy beach and her assertive actions spoke this to be true.

As the huntress coldly stopped Shuzyn's every attempt to rise, her hips had pressed down into his flesh; harder and harder with each movement. Just how strong was she with her legs? The fact that Shuzyn had yet to rise made it clear, even with him mildly upset, it was not enough to remove her even as he attempted at present.

Pinning him to the sandy earth, she made one thing very clear to him with her words soon after her actions: he wasn't going until she was satisfied.

"You've been so bad to me, trying to get away…I'm going to punish you, bad boy." Her words coming with a soft sound rising from her throat, it wasn't human sounding; something akin to a low growl that was mixed with a moan.

Her hips had already begun their magic of working Shu's groin hard, rolling and applying a firm pressure of crushing force to his sheath while sensuously stroking the flesh to coax it open. Through the loincloth-like bikini she'd chosen to wear in the company of her lover and her sister, her desires only burned hotter. All alone there was no need for her to hold back on him.

Without offering her lover any reason as to what she intended to do, once his dragonhood poked out of its sheath, her hand clutched intently and squeezed it tenderly while she worked it up with a loving hold. She was just enjoying his whines, his chirps, and the moans. Her hand rose from his shaft and moved the loincloth to the side, making sure the cloth was away as she pressed her heated lips to part around his thick member; letting off a heavy moan rising from her lips as she sank to the hilt of his flesh as her eyes shut and hugged close.

"Unnh…Shu…you feel wonderful…" she moaned to him and leaned her face down and had given him a soft kiss while her fingers began to dig into his shoulders.

Her powerful hips rose slowly and then thrust down roughly, pressing his shaft back into her walls as she let off a sweet cry. Oh…it felt so wonderful to feel his flesh resting inside of her, the way that he rested and was sheathed within her, just where he belonged.

Samus sighed and leaned in to bite on his neck, while her hips pressed back down hard and ground his member at the base as she took this slow and harsh rhythm; there was something primal inside of her that was crying out for it to be satisfied. Something that no one word could have granted her true understanding with, she felt the liquid fire burning inside of her and it sizzled. Granting a heat unlike any other thought that she fed with her every motion; she could not help but feel the ecstasy. How could she realize the true source of all that she felt? She knew well that she could not, it felt too incredible and as she stopped a moment to quiver above her lover; her eyes fluttered open as she felt his fingertips digging into her hips and rocking her slowly on his base. He still had fight left in him did he?

The attitude that wished to suppress his actions soon passed and was quickly replaced by feelings of satisfaction once she saw his face. She was well pleased to spy her beautiful Shuzyn's hazy gaze and his rich purring that filled the air. How could she not be happy with her work? She found her mate's physical touch asking more, almost pleading for her to increase her strength. This was what she loved feeling more than his submission: his desire for more.

"O-oh…Shu…" her moan was gentle and seemed to fill the small space of air around her with a resonation of their love being acknowledged through the closeness of their need of one another.

With her feelings becoming more and more unrestrained, the heavy heat only seemed to build within her more as she pressed and humped harder against his hips; now openly pounding her hips into his as she bore down on him. Her heavy desire to devour her mate in every way completely she intended to claim his heat and his needs as much as seemed to be possible.

There were no longer as words that made audible sense, as the session had descended into groans, growls, sighs, and chirps rising from Shuzyn. As Samus's body drew up and slammed down, pressing him firmly into the sand while her body worked with an almost cruel demanding of what her mate was giving to her through his small ministrations beneath her. How sweet he was to hold her so lovingly, squirm just the way she liked, chirp so damn erotically; he must've been doing it all with an innate knowledge of what pleased her.

The action seemed to go on forever, as in the world of the huntress, only she and Shuzyn existed. Her mate was a brilliant focus of her time and effort, as she made use of his thickened veins and hot spire to pleasure her innermost secrets. Her walls throbbed hotly with a slickened veil of her love juices and the pre-release of her lover, only making the friction grow by using her inhuman strength to clench around him in controlled bursts. Each motion appearing to be harder than the last if it that possible, while the ground having now been worn away by her hard thrusts; she never felt the stalking tease of climax rising in the pit of her stomach.

"W-wha…aaahhh!" the cries of a very surprised Samus came without warning, as her walls squeezed with a heat that was overbearing, her juices shunting down in hot cascades down upon her mate's groin. There was almost no words to describe the white hot lashes that were hitting her insides while she felt multi-orgasms devouring her.

"S-Samuus!" the roaring cry of Shuzyn came almost in unison, had she just grown hotter and tighter? Were such things even possible? So many questions and no cognitive mind available to answer it, as for the space dragon he was now a vacant shell while his soul burned in ecstasy.

Both lovers were entwined in passion, with Shuzyn's arms wrapped tightly around his mate's back, squeezing her body to him while his wings, tail, and body went rigid while his spine arched. The flexibility of both huntress and dragon being tested as both were kissed by the goddess of passion and desire.

First to fall to the ground was Shu with his lover resting on his heaving chest. Samus could hear the heart racing of her divine touched dragon beneath her while he tried to breathe, the expression on his face was absolutely gratifying to the ego of the huntress above her prey; he was mind blown and she was the cause.

(-End Mature Content-)

There was nothing she could do but coo and lick along his scales while purring softly, could her metroid portion have been the cause? She didn't really care as all that mattered was that she could share the feeling and the delight of a vicious session of lovemaking. She was most certain that he knew who was the primary mate between her and Sammy, sharing was something hard at times…but not when he responded like this to her.

She began to doze off against the scales of her lover, his warm chest and the exposure to the sun's light had made her feel comfortable and very lazy after making love. Something that Shuzyn seemed to be fine with. As he wrapped both of his wings around her sides and shut his big eyes while she lay presently upon him. A small nap didn't hurt right?

As both Shuzyn and Samus lay asleep on the sand, Sammy had long since returned from collecting the dinner for tonight and had caught a few wild game animals while she was on her own. Upon spying her lover and her sister intertwined in a relaxed slumber, she couldn't help but smile at it. They who accepted her…her family at rest touched her heart.

All of these things were still new to her, but was the way that she liked it, the way she needed it. Sammy knew how lucky she was, her sister did not try to kill her and did not reject her, Shuzyn no longer turned her away or seemed to be awkward with her. He took in her every nuance and returned her passion, her love. All that she offered was something that he took and the way she happily accepted it.

"Thank you both…all passion, given me…gave Sammy a life. I will protect you both with my heart, life, and soul. My world Shuzyn…my gravity and safety, Samus, both so dear to me and desired by my instinct to love; I love you both with all that I am." The X-parasite life-form had become something more after mating with Shuzyn the very first time.

As Sammy sat down on the sand and placed her bounty from the hunts and labors she'd taken earlier to her side, she decided that a nap would be good too. This was a great thing, this was freedom; this was true paradise. Nothing could go wrong while they rested here…even though she knew they'd go soon and had to fix the rest of the mistakes that had remained. The Metroid Queen lived and that was a serious threat with her intellect.

As the three enjoyed a peaceful slumber under the island sun, all that could be noted was that things were going to get serious in time. Yet with no reason for them to leave while the Federation was after them, there was nothing better to do than lay low and enjoy the sun. How they had not known how close an enigma was to them, a queen had been after her chosen consort; it didn't matter who was in her way.

-En route to the nameless planet-

On a ship set to follow the trails of the huntress, the Metroid Queen lay back on her makeshift bed with several of her recent 'children' as she had replicated the set of 3 metroid hatchlings to serve as a distraction by the time they arrived on the planet. She had an ache that only her consort could fill.

As the Metroid Queen rose from the cushion she sighed and pet one of the heads of the maturing beta metroid, the oldest of her recently developed children let off a growl as its mind was focused on development. There was no question that the creature was hoping for energy to drain, its queen-mother had hinted that something tasty was ahead; their prey was something delicious.

She was hopeful that they'd provide a decent distraction so she could find her consort. She remembered how he felt and how incredible it felt when he'd seeded her; nothing quite as pleasure filled as that sense that she'd felt.

"Mm…I can hardly wait to have him back…those two will get in my way and he will resist, but that hardly matters. Soon, my true children can be born…it will not be on my own my little king will come around once he realizes I'll not give him up ever. He was mine then, and will be once more." The determination in her voice and choice of words seemed to denote failure wasn't optional.

At first she had been in hiding to recover from her battle and exposure to her choice-mate's glacial breath. That kind of power was what she desired: he was physically strong, mentally indomitable in the face of death, and defiant towards ever considering his life was going to end. He fought her with ever fiber of his being and she knew he would upon contact with her.

She delighted at the chance to see him again, her body burned with a carnivorous hunger that she would see sated. She was the top of the food-chain, even if her prey could harm her and fight back with courage and power.

It was to be a simple matter of her addressing it with her superior strength; she would simply need to overpower him and the huntress that was in her way. In truth she was no fool and knew that he was not going to stop easily and neither would the huntress pair, they were something of a trouble for her. But her conquest would not stop; she would stop in death or her success.

As the ship's monitors beeped and the various controls worked their auto-piloted aim for landing, she lay back down upon the cushion and hugged the beta metroid as she let herself fall to slumber. The flight time remaining was about 18 hours; then she would set in motion her goals. Her moment would come.
