User blog:RoyboyX/Metroid: Other M: The Novel

Here is where I shall write my second Metroid fanfic, a novelization of the best in the series: Super Metroid. And no, this story shall not be as sad (like stupid sad) as the last one was.

Chapter 1: Distress Call
My name is Samus Aran. I’m a bounty hunter. When the Galactic Federation is in trouble, they call on me to fix the issue.

I was only 3 when I was orphaned at K-2L during a Pirate raid. I was the only survivor. My parents, as well as everyone else on the planet had been killed. I met Ridley, whom I tried to befriend, only for him to try and kill me as well. My mother, however, stepped in just in time. I had ran away and crawled under some rubble to mourn.

Hours later, I was hungry. The Chozo, a starfaring race, came to the planet and heard my crying. They comforted me, said good things to me and took me to their planet, Zebes. There they trained me and cared for me, ultimately shaping me up to become the protector of the galaxy.

The Chozo had engineered several creatures called Metroids for a reason I do not know. Their homeworld was SR388, and a flagship coming from that planet was raided, the creatures stolen. I learned that the Pirates had planned to expose the Metroids to beta rays, which can make them multiply. So, I was tasked by the Galactic Federation to invade Zebes, destroy the Metroids, as well as the organic supercomputer Mother Brain.

As I attempted to escape, though, I was shot down, and I crash-landed back on Zebes, my Power Suit destroyed. I was left in my Zero Suit, with only a shocking pistol to help me survive. I invaded the Space Pirate Mothership and managed to find a new Power Suit as well as an escape pod.

After a while, the Federation deemed the Metroids too dangerous to exist, and so they sent many teams to try and destroy them so that the Space Pirates could no longer use them as bio-weapons. After their failed attempts, they called on me to accomplish the mission. Armed with a Metroid counter and several new weapons I found in the Chozo ruins, I managed to eradicate each and every Metroid, encountering new, mutated species. After destroying their queen, I encountered an egg that hatched in front of me. The Metroid hatchling imprinted me as its mother, and due to its inhostility, I spared it. I then took it back with me and left it at Ceres Space Colony for study.

The scientists there were able to discover that the Metroids could be used for the good of galactic civilization. However, as I left the station, I was immediately called back. Something had happened!

Chapter 2: Invaders
"There it is!" I landed on Ceres Station and began exploring. The labs were going up in smoke. After I had explored the rooms of the station, I discovered that the Metroid’s capsule was broken. I touched one of the glass shards, scanning it. “Space Pirates,” I hissed. Around the capsule was numerous corpses of scientists, all dead. Something terrible had happened. And it was up to me to find out what.

When I entered the last room of Ceres, the hatchling was there in its capsule, strangely floating in the air. When I was about to touch it, a glowing eye appeared, then a familiar body. "Ridley!" I exclaimed. He had the Metroid in his talons, and tried to fly away. Spitting fireballs at me, I dodged them and began to fire. “You’re not getting away with that!” I yelled. I managed to make him drop the capsule, but just as I was about to grab the hatchling and make a run for it, Ridley quickly flew down, grabbed it and swiped me back with his tail.

Say goodbye to your precious Space Colony! Said Ridley. He could send messages to the mind. "What are you talking about?!" I demanded. ''I’ve programmed the main computer to blow the station up! Soon it will be nothing but junk! It’s been a blast!'' I rolled my eyes at the pun. Then I jumped and grabbed one of his legs, but he knocked me against the wall. I fell down, and the destruction sequence commenced.

I raced against time to the main computer. As I tried to get the station to halt the destruction sequence, the computer kept denying access. “The Space Station will self destruct in 100 seconds.” I almost cursed out loud. I had no choice but to get out of here.
