Corruption: Allies
The three figures that walked down the ice ramp of the ship were both quite distinctive and visibly alien, just barely humanoid as far as the ponies could tell. The first was pale blue, gradiating to white on some parts of his body, black on others. His body was somewhere between crystalline ice and flesh in texture, and there were no features on his face with which to read expressions. There were only two yellow dots of eyes to even denote that it was his face. One notable distinction was a portion of his torso that looked like some sort of scar, which shone bright blue and was far more ice than flesh in appearance. He walked right up to Samus and Spike. "It is good to see you both again," he stated calmly, bowing respectfully.
"Good to see you too, Rundas," Samus replied, returning the bow.
"I'd have thought that would have fully healed by now," Spike spoke up, indicating the bright blue scarring.
"It has," Rundas replied. "However, I have chosen to leave the sealing scab of ice in place, to remind me of the event. I still owe you a life debt, Spike."
Spike rubbed the back of his head nervously.
"Now don't overwhelm the poor boy," the second figure stated as he walked up. His body was almost entirely robotic, with only the brain visible through the transparent casing of his head unit indicating this was a cyborg and not an android. His limbs were somewhat spindly, plainly not built for strength. However, the numerous manipulators and interface points along the length of all the limbs indicated that this was because his body was designed to interface with other machines. "You know how flustered he gets when people hero worship him."
Samus chuckled a bit. "Funny meeting you here, Ghor," she greeted. "How'd you find your way here?"
"We received a signal that you were here," he explained. "We decided it would be nice to stop by and reminisce."
"But that one makes her own way home," Rundus grolwed, gesturing back at the third figure still making her way down the ramp. "How is it no one's slit her throat for talking so much before?"
"They probably have," Ghor replied. "But she's pure energy. It wouldn't kill her." He glanced around, not noticing how unnerved the ponies were getting from the line of the conversation. "Such a curious world you hail from, Spike," he commented in his synthesized voice. "There's so much I could learn here..."
Spike nearly choked on his laughter when he saw how Twilight's eyes lit up at that statement. However, his expression changed to nervousness as the third figure approached.
She was most definitely female, and the most humanoid in appearance of the trio. Her entire body was blue and pink, glowing with energy, with her grey skeletal structure visible through her flesh. Her eyes sparked with mischief, and she had a coy smirk on her face. If one looked closely, however, they would spy what looked like green fire running here and there where veins and arteries should have been. She sauntered up to Spike, her hips swaying enticingly as she completely ignored Samus. "Well, well, Spike...is this how you treat a lady? I honestly never thought that was how you were. You never called, you never wrote...shame on you."
Spike stepped back a bit nervously. "Uh...Sorry Gandrayda...things were kind of...busy. Didn't realize I should..."
"But after all we shared?" Gandrayda pouted, fluttering her eyelashes at him. "We did so much together..."
"Well, I..."
"And the way you stole that kiss," she breathed enticingly.
"Excuse me?" Rarity gasped out in shock.
"It wasn't like that!" Spike shouted. "I was trying to save your life!"
"And you succeeded beyond your wildest dreams," Gandrayda purred, attempting to press herself up against Spike only for him to flee into the upper branches of the crystal tree palace. She then giggled. "He's just so cute when he's flustered."
"Funny you three should be here now, bringing all that up," Samus interrupted. "Spike and I were just telling his friends and family on this world of his adventures, and we'd just gotten to the mission you're all talking about."
"Perhaps we could join you then," Ghor offered. "Give a perspective on events the two of you can't provide."
"Not a bad idea," Samus allowed. She then turned to Gandrayda. "As long as you can keep your flirting to a minimum. It won't help the story if Spike's running away from you every other minute."
Gandrayda rolled her eyes. "If you insist," she allowed. "It's good to see you well, by the way."
"You too. Just don't turn into me this time."
"Turn...into you?" Twilight gasped in shock.
Smirking, Gandrayda stretched. Her body became extra translucent as she flared with pink electricity. When the light faded, she looked identical to Twilight Sparkle. "It's a peculiarity of my race," she explained in her own voice. "Since we're pure energy, we can reshape our bodies to mimic the appearance and abilities of anything we've encountered."
"Sounds a lot like the Changelings," Rainbow Dash pointed out as the alien shapeshifter resumed her own form.
"Except they aren't pure energy," Twilight pointed out. She approached Gandrayda. "Could...could you do that again? But more slowly, so I can take some scans?"
Gandrayda chuckled. "Maybe later. First, I think some introductions are in order."
"Not to mention your Welcome to Ponyville party!" Pinkie Pie proclaimed as she leapt up, confetti exploding around her.
Ghor stared at Pinkie as she raced around gathering party supplies. "Something tells me trying to understand her will give me a real headache..."
"It's Pinkie Pie," Twilight told him. "Don't question it. Trust me, don't. It's not worth the headaches. Besides, she's a good friend, even when she doesn't make any sense."
"Now where's the fun in making sense?" Discord asked with a cackle as the large group went into the crystal tree castle, laughing and talking as they waited for the party.
"...Ghor!" Twilight shouted. "Don't cut chunks off my home!"
"Apologies."

Back the f
ck up one moment.
I played the game up to the final battle (lost the disc soon afterwards). don't they all get corrupted, defeated by Samus, then absorbed by Dark Samus? Unless Spike pulls a macguffin out of his ass...
I think I'm going to enjoy Gandrayda.
Uh oh, what will his reaction to Pinkie Pie be???
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!
Gonna be honest, since I never played the Prime games, everything I've read about Gandrayda and her treatment of Spike rubs me the wrong way, so I would not be surprised if Samus had an itching to leave her to die at some point.
heh.....so...they survived?
.....and that kiss comment....
6502788
You did notice that each of their conversations with Spike surrounded him saving their lives, right?
6502788 probably absorbs the phazon out of them?
Ghor and Twilight are a match made in a lab. Gandrayda probably chooses to identify as female. She also probably wants Spike's "energy". This is a confusing new form of genetic and biological preferences and possibilities. She probably consumes matter to turn into energy, and food is probably a varied consumption option for its texture rather than the specific energy amounts they produce. Yes, I am planning this stuff out for a food born friendship between her and Spike. Rundrus would probably think about dating Rarity, but then discard the idea due to no similar interests.
6502821 He probably does that old home remedy for snake bites and sucks the poison out of them. Gandrayda is almost definitely purposely misrepresenting the action as a kiss.
Aw yiss! Rundas is probably one of the biggest badasses of the Metroid Universe. Epic boss fight music to boot.
I will just drop this here for other's listening pleasure.
Calling it right now, Spike eats the Phazon corruption out of their bodies.
Guessing the reason Spike is so weary around Grandrayda is she probably started stalking him wanting his babies!
6502849 You... are an irredeemable nerd.
But that's okay. So am I, judging by the fact that I understood all that.
6502788 Why are you surprised? Spike's been doing that since the first game. He's almost as broken as Superman in this story.
So glad to see that they survive this time!
Wow, Spike really does get around~
6502980 Plausible
6503196 I prefer the term "impassioned connoisseur". Or geek, if I am being honest.
Yay onto the good game! (In my opinion, Prime was okay, Prime 2 sucked.)
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
6502895 Does that mean that Spike... Had the Jaws of Life?
6503505
Ditto Prime 2 always felt like it just was not as good as the others
sure it had alot more going for it, but it just felt different from the other prime games
6504059 I originally didn't even like Prime. I sorta like it now but I don't see what made it the masterpiece that Super Metroid was. I always have the unpopluar opinions. I like Other M, am indifferent t Prime 1 and downright hate Prime 2.
6504071
I KNOW.
The way i see it, Prime 1 was like Super Mario 64. It set a president for what ALL other 3-D Metroid games Should be, and when it was ported to the Wii that made it top class. Prime 2 was much the same as Prime 1...more like an expansion to Prime 1...
oh okay Prime 2 is like Super Mario Galaxy 2. A pretty good game, but just seemed like an addition.
Though the Fluff, story, of Prime 2 was great the environments were eh.
Oh and i totaly get loving Other: M as a game, and not a piece of fiction.
Other M or MOM, was a good game, Should have went with Nun-chuck controls, but GAMEPLAY wise it was good.
6504052 ... I feel like there's a reference there that I'm not seeing...
YES.
If it's who I think it is, then probably because it wouldn't do a thing.
Oh this is gonna be FUN!
Please do.
Aw, but it's funny!
She's a shapeshifter.
I suppose.
Indeed.
It will.
Agreed.
HEH!
6504416 The Jaws of Life are a large hydraulic cutting tool. Normally used to cut people out of car wrecks
6504052
6504299 For me it was good story-wise as well. Adam had no idea of her abilities achieved in Super so it made sense that Adam would not want her to use anything. And Ridley was killed only recently. See while others say Ridley was killed 6 times. He was only killed twice. Once in Zero Mission/Original, and Super. All other times were Metal Ridley. She thought she killed him once and for all seeing as her last encounter was an Organic Metal Ridley.
6504541 Actually, the original Ridley only died once, in Super Metroid. In the original/zero mission he got away barely alive, Prime 1 falls off cliff and lives, Prime 3 takes advantage of Phazon to restore himself to original 100% organic form, Super FINALLY dies. (Some games left out due to lack of Ridley appearance or being later in the timeline.
PS: It's Meta Ridley not Metal Ridley. Also, the Mecha Ridley in Zero Mission is 100% robot and not Ridley at all.

6504802
Ugh okay i'll concede to that, but i always assumed when ever you fought Ridely near the end of the game, you were killing him.
And while i get the issue of if she has so many dangerous weapons to put a ban on a few. It does not excuse a lot of idiotic events that happen in-game.
ie EVERYONE knows this one: When Samus is in the Pyrosphere she does not instinctively activate the Varia suite, EVEN WHEN it could kill her.
It is sort of like the Batman Arkham Games, find something blocking your path? Get new gear.
Gandrayda is fun.
Just remember Rarity, green isn't your color.
6502820 so... He DID pulled a macguffin out of his ass. (lol word of the day macguffin)
YAY, I WAS RIGHT ABOUT GHOR!
Unfortunately, I was also correct about gandrayda, Teasing bitch.
so does Spike actually have a love interest in this. are is there just going to be a bunch of flirting and, woofing.
6508598
No romance tag.
6501537 I leave them be, on the principle that if you wait, the hives can spawn more, which means pickup farming.
Oh this gonna be good!
I hope that the pure energy lady was a reference to Ben 10: Alien Force because if it was then I'm the first to notice!
6624829
She wasn't. These are actual characters from "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption".
Yeah even Twilight has no idea what chunks of her castle can do
Yes!! You saved Rundas Ghor and Gandrayda! I am so happy!
8656088
I think it’s the equivalent of taking bricks out of someone’s wall......rude and annoying
6504416
Kiss of life is another way of saying cpr
6505246
In samus’ defense in Metroid prime one her systems shorted out and in Metroid prime 2 they were stolen
6502800
Somehow those two things are going to be connected
6502788
More like he pulls it out of Dark Samus ass
6624841
It's honestly a coincidence to me. Anywho the Hunters are alive in this fic and I am actually Happy about that as they are the rare types of characters that are difficult to have survive thier fates without circumventing it altogether as in they were never there at all. During my first playthrough of corruption when I the player met the characters I actually became attached as I love thier characters especially rundus and gandreyda and it hurt to fight them and see them die in a gruesome fashion (rundus especially)due to dark Samus and phazon corruption and I think that was the point to begin with and each battle shows the stakes going higher and higher. Call me weird but I actually almost shed a tear seeing them alive in your story and it shows that I'm not the only one who is upset that they were cut short to soon even if it was important to the plot of corruption (Even though having a diary in Samus' ship detailing how she felt about all that would gone long way as body language is not enough for the player the help understand what Samus is conveying to them especially in a 3D game like corruption with really high stakes involved.
