BSL: Super Powered
"So was that the end of Sector 4?" Starlight asked curiously. "I mean, you stopped the X Serris..."
"Not quite," Spike replied. "Unfortunately, the station's auto repair functions were fully operational, so walls we'd broken through earlier were completely repaired by the time we tried to get back through, forcing us to find alternate paths rather frequently."
"That proved difficult in Sector 4," Samus explained, "until we found the hydraulic controls. That let us lower the water level to below where the broken power conduits were, so it was no longer electrified. That freed up a great deal of area to explore. Picked up a few more expansions that way before heading back to the Navigation Room. For once, good news was waiting for us..."
Samus sat back after reporting everything that had happened in Sector 4 to Adam and the others. Adam had listened carefully before nodding. "So the X seem to be seeking out powerful creatures to infect to use as weapons," he concluded. "That's worrisome, as it means you'll likely be facing more and more powerful creatures that will be specifically hunting you. It also means more and more of the specimens here that will be compromised, but it's not our job to protect the station, so that's hardly our concern."
Spike chuckled in response to that. "On the plus side, it means more abilities being recovered."
"True," Adam agreed. "It may yet give you enough abilities to face the SA-X...in time. In the meantime, Ghor's managed to finish with your Super Missile data."
"That will be very useful," Samus responded gratefully.
"There was a minor problem, however," Ghor cautioned. "When I attempted to load a secondary missile system into your suit data, it couldn't accept it. I couldn't give you separate missiles and super missiles."
Samus sighed. "So, what? I'm going to have to choose between carrying missiles and super missiles every time I come to a resupply station?"
"No," Ghor countered. "I instead applied the Super Missile modifications to your standard missile systems. With the altered payload data, your ordinary missiles will be as powerful as Super Missiles."
"But...I've already got 80 missiles available," Samus replied slowly, stunned. "You mean...when I download that data, I'm going to have 80 Super Missiles available?"
"Precisely," Ghor replied readily. "I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause-"
"Ghor, I could freaking kiss you!" Samus interrupted. "That's the best power up related news I've had since I got my Power Suit!"
Ghor's optics flickered for a time. "Umm...you're welcome?"
"You know, I never did get that kiss," Ghor spoke up teasingly.
"Oh shut up," Samus countered with a roll of her eyes as a laughing Spike continued telling the tale.
"Unfortunately, the Data Room in Sector 4 is sealed with a Level 4 hatch, the highest security level on the station," Melissa pointed out. "I...don't think unsealing that would be a good idea just yet."
"Definitely not," Samus agreed. "Where else can I download the data?"
Melissa began scanning through the systems. "Hmm...the SA-X is highly active in Sector 2 just now, so that Data Room's out..."
"It almost seems like the SA-X is deliberately blocking your recovery," Adam murmured.
"The best option looks to be in Sector 3 (PYR)," Melissa concluded. "Stop in the Navigation Room there for further details. I'll need to debrief you more fully before you go in."
"We'll see you there, Melissa," Samus responded before heading out.
... ... ... ...
Once in Sector 3, Samus activated the Navigation Booth, downloading the available map data. Melissa immediately began explaining the situation. "The Data Room here is sealed behind a Level 2 Hatch," she explained. "You're going to need to find the Security Room first, just like in Sector 2. However, there's a snag. Some portions of Sector 3 are superheated, both for high-heat creatures and to vent the main boilers that are in the same sector. Until Ghor's finished with the Varia effect for you to download, the super-heated areas will be just as devastating to you as super-chilled ones."
"That's going to be a problem," Samus grumbled. "How are we supposed to explore to find the Security and Data Rooms if I can't go through half the Sector?"
"I've...managed to get some information regarding that," Melissa answered. "While I can't get the exact location of the Security Room, I can confirm that the path from entrance to Security Room and back - and the path to the Data Room from there - passes through no super-heated sections. Part of a safety precaution, since the usual protective gear to pass through the super-heated sections is incompatible with the Security Room's systems."
"That's a relief," Spike admitted. "I wasn't looking forward to exploring alone."
"And that's what we did," Samus concluded. "As expected, releasing the Security locks allowed the X to invade other sectors, but there wasn't much we could do about that. Thankfully, I was able to download the Super Missile modification, and boy was it useful."
"I'll bet!" Rainbow cackled, continuing to take her notes.
"Unfortunately, on the way out..."
After leaving the Data Room, Samus and Spike made their way back towards the Navigation Room, only to find an entire chamber on their main path trashed, the doorway crushed so they couldn't make their way back through. "What the?" Samus demanded, confused.
"Okay, it can't have been the SA-X that did this," Spike muttered. "This looks like damage I would do-"
As he spoke, the entire area shook from an impact tremor. "That sounded like it came from the Data Room!" Samus shouted out, turning to rush back, Spike hot on her heels.
As they reached the Data Room, however, they found a strange security drone smashing its way through the door, having already trashed the Data Room. At first it looked like a standard four legged drone with a cyber-organic control brain in its main body, protected by an armored clear case. However, as it caught sight of them, it uncurled a long neck and tail...and then spread wings.
"What?" Twilight demanded, stunned. And she plainly wasn't the only one.

Ridley's back! At least i think it's ridley. I haven't played fusion . If it is, then is it really a surprise?
Yay SP-X lives.
That's...odd. Spike didn't get infected by the X, but I guess the Galactic Federation had data on him? Things are getting interesting.
7259320 Ridley is in Fusion, but not this early. If I remember correctly, he's the last boss fought before Fusion's endgame
7259320 He comes later.
No, what this is, is more evidence that the Federation is researching (and planing) on how to kill Spike and Samus.
... It just keeps not working doesn't it? Heh.
7259373 While a valid strategy, in theory, if this is indeed a "SP-X" then by the very nature of the Clone DNA needing to have been taken from Spike before he absorbed Metroidal DNA into his genetic structure, then it would bare little resemblance to his own abilities and would therefore be a very poor study of his abilities As of Now. The most good this poor creature would have been as a lab-vector before it became infected with the X would be if they were using it to study HOW his DNA integrated foreign strands so easily, and while I'm sure there are more than a few military applications for that sort of study, especially for "Super Soldier" black-box programs, unless they were able to replicate Spike's Exact evolutionary process in all of its stages, they'd have a hard time replicating his exact abilities to try finding weaknesses...
Wow, Ghor being a tease. Never thought I'd see that.
So we're crossing the Security Robot with Ridley this time?
what a
!
Yep, I was expecting a Spike-X.
7259361 but his corpse doesn't exist in this timeline, because spike ate it back on the bottle ship. No corpse, no Zombie Ridley X
Eighty super missiles. Overkill.
7259432 Was that where it came from? I mean, Fusion came out years before Other M did, so I'm not sure where Ridley-X really came from
Not quite.
True.
Very.
Yep. I never understood just how awesome that was since I play Fusion first. Then I played Zero Mission and Super Metroid and realized how awesome that is.
Plus, considering how far underwater it is...
Not impossible.
Fair enough.
What?! OK, this is, this is very new.
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
Oh god. An X has taken the form of spike.
7259584
Methinks another dragon actually... He's like a zit that just won't pop
7259443 It is. After the ice around the corpse of Ridley falls off said corpse disintegrates in a fashion similar to how the Metroid Predation victims in Super Metroid did. Further when you find Ridley X it too falls apart at a touch before reforming into a mutated form.
On the Other M side the evidence is simply that the corpse was found dead. CoD? Metroid Predation. The first time you might have a chance to touch it and make it fall to dust the corpse has already somehow been moved.
Making a game takes years, more so when you're making/using a brand new engine and using a large amount of 3D models, textures, and animations. It's completely possible that they had already come up with the story for 3.5 even before 4 came out.
7259924 Fusion was released in 2002/3, contemporary with Prime. Other M didn't even start production until after Prime 3 was done - 2006/7 at the earliest. It's possible that the general shape of the story was planned out further in advance, but the details of when and how Ridley is repaired, cloned, given phoenix down, time travels from a point where he was alive, or just plain wasn't dead after all aren't exactly something that needs advance planning...
7259361
7259373 oh. Ok then.
Uh, guys, you're all missing the point. This is the Security BoX boss, with added Spike upgrades.
7260220
What he said. Though I could have sworn the B.O.X. Security Robot had 6 legs.
B.O.X. Security Robot, Metroid Fusion Wiki Page
Yep six; first sentence and the picture both prove it, though all you see of the back two in the picture are the bottom prongs. Look between the front two legs to see them.
Anyway Tats, can't wait to see how you explain this one. Cheers!
7259637 more like the one that you didn't get all the solid stuff out of
Well that was unexpected. Looks like B.O.X. got a few upgrades.
I feel like people are misjudging the security robot. I imagine this branch of the federation created a robot version of spike, and then used whatever brain-thing to power it. It's not Ridley. Ridley is a corpse in a separate room, waiting to be possessed by the X.
so tats , I suppose we get to meet S.P.I.K.E. ( super powerful insane electronic killer)... if you actually like this I will have impressed myself
7262223
Well, that would be S.P.I.E.K. ...
7262238 7262238 ... note to self, learn to spell... side note don't post comments when tired( I can't believe I screwed that up... wow)
7262266
Hmm...
Super Powered Indomitable Killing Engine...
How's that sound?
Oh God it's a roboSpike their bucked

Wait, no, then that'd be a battle they would lose... if they had to fight:

7262277 quite a lot better then mine actually, well done
Eighty super missiles? Well, overkill is better than underkill.
7263480 In Fusion your missiles would eventually be upgraded to supers missiles, and as a rule, the maximum missiles in any Metroid game is 250. you also get 74 power bombs and 20 E-tanks
7252340 Ok, so about the first part, what about when she was producing Phazon? Or even if that wasn't possible, what about alternative forms of energy, like using the recharge chambers, or the Upgrade Data, or when Spike eats a bunch of different stuff, or even the X Parasites themselves, I mean even the Metroid D.N.A can be utilized, I mean the Pirates did bio-engineer them to be resistant to cold too, so it'd be like that, except using Dragon D. N. A.? Plus, they don't have to be instantaneous at all, they can grow over time... and her body would change first, then her suit, improving her chances at withstanding the cold...
Well, it's not like she'd be breathing fire, or growing wings, though that would be kinda cool, maybe if her cannon, had some sort of flamethrower attachment, or secondary function, and her morph ball might get a cannon launcher function, or comet mode? But her skin did change, so the resistances would apply, at least, plus it's on a cellular level, so the resistance to cold would also apply there, I believe...
Well, that might not necessarily be the case, I mean, Spike did have some level of control over his transformation in "Secrets Of My Excess" because, when I think about it, psychologically, a little, when Spike realised that what he took wasn't exactly "his" anymore, or he didn't "want" anymore, or felt like he had to "protect" his stuff, he changed back to normal, plus his "growth" was based off of something kinda like his "Id" and "Ego" talking to him, telling him "I want this" or " How to get this thing that I want as fast and as easily as possible" and his body underwent a biological reaction in response, causing him to grow bigger, so he'd able to protect himself and his treasure/food source easier, and so on... It's a lot of speculation and so on, but it seems to fit... What do you think?
As for Gandrayda, that might also, again, not necessarily be the case, being an energy being, some of the energy she gave Spike could've spread throughout his body, also to a genetic level, then Spike would've given it to Samus... also, Samus isn't a complete dragon, and more human / Chozo anyway, so she wouldn't really need to train her inner dragon, because she wouldn't have one, and, even if she did, or didn't, the psychological triggers to utilize said changes would already be covered in her training with the Chozo and the Federation, so it'd be more like thinking something, and then having her body react to it, via her neuro-connections, like the movie "Spawn" when the old guy was telling him how to use his powers.... What do you think?
7264226
Okay, let me make a final point, and don't debate it's validity.
In terms of genetics, Samus is an adult human, an adult Chozo, an adult Metroid...and a baby dragon. As such, she only has the adaptability traits. And this happened post nearly everything you just listed. The only thing you've mentioned that's even close to valid is absorbing the X. However, individual X parasites, when absorbed, only give enough to replenish energy based supplies, much like Spike eating things in previous arcs. The only X that might have the energy to jumpstart an adaption is the Large X Cores...and that energy is used up restoring latent abilities.
And as far as the genetic tinkering from the Bottleship, that data was unavailable when Samus was originally getting the vaccine, and she isn't about to submit to further genetic tinkering willingly.
As far as any further answers, keep reading and wait for them. They will come.
WHAT!? I WAS NOT EXPECTING RIDLEY TO SHOW UP!!
Oh wait, yes I did.

"There is no overkill just going home at the end of the day or not going home at the end of the day."
Madeye Moody
To anyone who sees my comment on there not being a Spike-X a few chapters back, I only meant you wouldn't see an X version of Spike.
A Spike version of the BOX robot, though...
