'Not until you calm down.' 'I AM CALM!' 'No you're not. You're Samus Aran! It doesn't matter that you're a different gender compared to the one I know! You're supposed to be a calm and collected mysterious bounty hunter!' 'I need to get revenge on Luna! She killed an entire species!' 'But think about what would happen. If you try to attack Luna, she'll win, even if you kill her. She wants us to seem like an evil alien invader. Do you want her to win? Besides, we would have an entire army of ponies after us. Where would we go?' 'The Griffons.' 'They hate us, remember? We killed their leader. The dragons are out, because of your past. Diamond Dogs are too stupid to live with, and Changelings would try to brainwash us.' 'What about the minotaurs?' 'A lot is unknown about them, but they are allied with the ponies.' 'We could head to space. They can't get us there.' 'But Celestia can breath in space. She is a very big unknown. I don't really want to be charred in a sun, or asphyxiate in space.' '...You're right. I let my rage get ahold of me. I won't attack Luna. But I at least want to get some kind of revenge on her.' 'We might not have to wait very long. The more Luna acts like that, the closer we come to Celestia acting against Luna.' 'Can I leave now? We should make sure the ponies don't take the Chozo technology, we don't want them advancing too much.' 'Agreed. But let me talk to the ponies first.' I stood back up, looking over at the ponies who were looking at me with fear in their eyes. Ignoring them, but feeling guilty over my counterparts actions, I walked over to Celestia. "Princess Celestia... I'm sorry about my actions." Celestia seemed genuinely surprised at my apology. I decided to continue. "The half of me that is Samus, got angry at the destruction of the race that raised him, and wanted revenge. I managed to convince him that doing so would be wrong, and have terrible after-effects." Celestia accepted my apology. "And I'm sorry for my sister's actions. I knew she was holding a serious grudge against you, but I never expected her to destroy an entire race like that." "I know I don't really have the right to ask this, but can you at least slightly punish Luna? She might be a princess, but in my world, not even the people highest in the government could get away with doing this." Celestia nodded, but didn't understand that last part. "What happens to the people in your world?" She asked, a hint of nervousness in her voice. "When nobles abused their power, we cut off their heads in front of everyone. When Stalin used propaganda and 'mysterious disappearances' to control an entire country by fear, we fought against them, killing them with small fast moving objects made of metal. When we lost our rights, we rebelled against our king, and fought for our own country, and won when the odds were clearly against us. When our own kind of a different color were being enslaved, we fought a bloody civil war for their rights. I may not be fully human, but I have a gunship and a power suit. Just imagine what I could do." I walked over to my ship, teleporting inside, and getting my power suit back, before teleporting outside, and commanding the ship to pick up the pile of debris left over from the ship. I gave a small nod, as I noticed none of the rubble of the ship fell off from my ship's grapple beam. But to my surprise, a small canister fell out of the pile, landing on the ground with a soft 'tink.' Curious, I walked up to it, noticing it's similarity to an upgrade from the games. I quickly scanned it. No information found. Even more curious now, I picked it up, and it suddenly disappeared in a flash of light, but I felt a something different about my arm cannon as it glowed Cosmic Beam Acquired. A beam made from the very energy of the universe. 'Cosmic beam? Have any idea?' 'No, maybe the Chozo made it for me, and weren't able to give it to me in time.' 'Is it supposed to feel weird?' 'Yes.' "Alright Twilight, try it one more time." I said, trying to teach Twilight how to make a portal because of a promise I made to Spike to let him relax for a day. The purple pony scrunches her face, as her horn glowed it's usual purple color, before turning into a cosmic purple, as a small portal slowly appears. I give a small smile at her progress, before taking a step back as Twilight lost control. "Darn it Twilight! You messed up the quantum entanglement! It's gonna collapse on itself!" I notice Twilight used her magic to make herself stick to the ground, as I lost traction on the ground, and quickly fell into the portal. Before I disappeared, I yelled at the bane of my existence. "Screw you Twilight!" 'Man, I really hate amateur portal traveling.' After about half a minute falling through the void, I saw the end of the tunnel. 'Finally! Now where am I gonna end... CRAP!" As I was about to leave the tunnel, I saw I was pretty high above Ponyville, and with my brain slightly on the fritz from what Twilight did, I can't figure out a safest way to land.' Right as I left the portal, I heard a sound I haven't heard for a few years. "Oh crap." I was suddenly rocketed forward at super sonic speeds, flying straight for Ponyville, with no way to slow my decent. I closed my eyes, and braced for impact, and when I hit something, it felt weird, as it got pushed forward without being instantly destroyed, and I got pushed back, landing on the ground, tumbling a bit as my speed slowed down. When I stopped, I was able to slowly get up my bones cracking into place, and the first thing I saw was a familiar greenish blue miniature cannon pointing straight at my head. It's been about a day since Luna destroyed an entire race, and I was walking around in my power suit, going through the memories Samus is showing me, so I would have an idea how to fight in this suit if something bad happened to Samus. I barely heard a giant boom happening in the sky, and before I could do anything, I was hit in the back by something moving really fast, causing me to stumble forward. When I stopped, I noticed my energy was already at half of it's total value. 'Whatever just hit us, is clearly powerful and hostile, we have to beat it quickly, before it uses an attack like that again. We quickly turned around, and dashed forward towards the small crater, using the thermal visor to locate the target in all the dust brought up. When the dust cleared, I saw the creature that crashed into me, staring straight at my arm cannon. 'A kid?' 'Probably a space pirate trick or something. It's clearly the object that hit us. And it can't be normal if it survived the impact without a single wound. And look at it's arm.' Nodding to myself, I quickly fired my charged shot at it, expecting to hit it easily at point-blank. I watched with surprise on my face, as my charge shot hit empty ground. 'What the!' 'Where did he go?!' Noticing a blip on the radar/compass, we quickly turned around to see the same kid just standing there, arms crossed. "How?!" I We gaped. The kid just smiled in response. Getting a bit angry, I fired a barrage of power beams at him, which he surprisingly dodged all the beams. Figuring he could dodge power beams, I decided to fire a homing missile at him. I saw his eyes narrow at the sight of the missile. I was about to smirk, but my jaw almost dropped as he quickly grabbed the missile, spun a bit, before launching it up, where it harmlessly blew up above the town. I noticed that the kid stole my smile, as he was smirking at me with a look in his eyes that seemingly asked if that was all I had. Getting angry now, I was about to fire a super missile at him, when I noticed a familiar rainbow trail flying through the sky, before making a sharp turn, aiming for the kid. I gave a small smile, as I fired a super missile at him, thinking he couldn't dodge both a super missile, and a Rainbow missile. I stood there, shocked, as the kid not only caught the super missile with his organic looking arm, but pushed Rainbow Dash into a pillow wagon with his robotic looking arm. He then looked at me, while holding the super missile, and spoke.
