AN: I should have not done the Space Pirates since I've never played a Metroid game. Oh well.
Interesting picture from Wikipedia: The Observable Universe.
Fluttershy looked at the radar. There was nothing around Planet Zebes. No ships. No life. No Space Pirates. Only two moons.
Fluttershy began to enter the atmosphere of Zebes. The ship's atmosphere gauge showed mostly oxygen, but the weather gauge, added by the Weather Patrol back in Equestria, showed heavy acid rain. The ship's shield system started to report slight damage, but not enough to concern Fluttershy.
An alarm went off in the cockpit. Fluttershy looked at a screen.
"MISSILE INCOMING"
"Oh shi-" was all Fluttershy could say before the missile struck the vessel. The ship started falling. On the ground, Fluttershy could make out a massive metal panel. She struggled to bring the vessel back into control.
The altitude meter fell, various alarms were activated and Fluttershy panicked. There was no escape pod. And even if she activated it, she'd just be melted in the acid rain.
Fluttershy brought the ship around, and landed on the panel. Detecting the weight, the panel started to descend. When the elevator descended a certain depth, a door closed over the hole.
Fluttershy opened the door of her ship, and stood outside it. After a long time, the elevator halted. Fluttershy jumped off the platform, and lowered herself down with her wings.
The cave was eerily light, and Fluttershy could already see two Space Pirates. They looked wounded, and they were talking to each other in a incomprehensible language.
Fluttershy got closer while trying to remain hidden, and as she did, the conversation slowly became more understandable.
"...She got us..." one said. Fluttershy retreated a little into the darkness.
"Yeah...Kraid's dead. You think anyone's gonna help us?"
"I doubt it."
Fluttershy activated her lightsaber and jumped in front of the two wounded pirates.
"Don't kill us!" the first one shouted.
"Where is the Element of Explosions?"
"Kraid had it! But Samus killed him. Check his body. He had it."
"Where is it?"
"It's two, three doors down, I don't know. There shouldn't be anyone down there."
"Thanks."
After what seemed like days of wandering because dying Space Pirates are the worst at directions, Fluttershy eventually stumbled upon the body of Kraid. It was a giant lizard. The top of his head had been blown off, and his blood was everywhere.
Fluttershy approached the corpse, and it started to glow with a holy light. An almost ethereal presense was in the room. A ghost rose from it. It was Kraid.
"Til ære for Valhalla." Kraid said, with a voice not his own. "Ta mitt Element. Jeg stige i krig, og i stigninga jeg i ære."
Fluttershy flew up into the air. Her eyes glowed with an eerie light. "Jeg hører deg, stipendiat kriger. Du kan bestige." she said, with the voice of the legion.
The ghost disappeared in a flash of light, and Fluttershy felt herself become more powerful.
"Stare." a familiar voice in her head commanded. Fluttershy did so at the corpse of Kraid, and the corpse disintegrated in a massive explosion.
"You have the command of all explosions. Feel them in your body. Feel them in your mind. You are the Master of all Explosions. But you are not my student yet. Go now to Teufort. Gain the Element of Dakka."
As Fluttershy's ship left the planet, she plotted into her console a path to Teufort Station, on a planet called Earth. Why it was called a station when it was terrestrial, she did not know.
She engaged the FTL engines, and looked towards the sandwich Rarity had gave her. She picked it up with her hoof and took a small bite. Fluttershy thought about her friends, and looked towards the modified radio Pinkie gave her. She pressed the only button on the radio with her hoof and the radio made a noise similar to the old dial-up modems.
After a while, Pinkie's face appeared on screen. Her eyes almost became bigger than her head when she saw Fluttershy.
"Hey! How's space?" Pinkie asked.
"Well, I was just hit by a missile, lied to by some dead aliens before I made a giant lizard explode."
"Coool!" Pinkie said. "Angel's here. Say hi!"
Angel looked at Pinkie, then at the camera, before flipping the bird at Pinkie and hopping off.
"Oh he's just sad because his mama's not here. Where are you going now?"
"Teufort. On Earth."
"Ohhh. Where's Earth?"
"I don't really know. The console says Sol System, near Alpha Centauri. I better not go there yet."
"Is that on your map?"
"No, Pinkie. I'm on Wikipedia. I'm getting information about Earth. Anyway, Pinkie. I'm tired after running around. Say hi to everypony for me!"
"Okay! Bye! Stay safe!"
The screen turned off. Fluttershy trotted into the hold, found her makeshift bed, and went to sleep.
