Where the heck did you find that cool, yet terrifying, cover art?
10871961
There's a source link.
10871968
This guy.
Yeah, all those gene mods are going to have an impact eventually. At least E.M.M.I. won't introduce any novel biology into Samus's system.
... Well, it probably won't.
10871975
Unless its big metal fist counts.
10871975
)
There's a boss fight or two in Fusion that implies robots have DNA in this universe. No, it doesn't make sense, but it's canon. (And then I remember the Power Suit itself after I'd already written that.
10872063
Do you mean Security Robot B.O.X? Because that fought Samus because she was in a restricted area, not because it was infected by the X. Also Nightmare is biomechanical in nature meaning its at least partially organic.
10872063
10872122
The BOX bot had a brain inside which served as its wetware, only for Samus to crack its covering during the first encounter with it before it evacuated--which was ironically due to its programming.
The second time they battled though? It was infested with the X-parasite.
This out of the way I must admit two things:
a)Rainbow Dash is a b**ch. That is all.
b)Poor Spike, a good explanation for being pushed out of the spotlight while being in a totally sucky situation out of health concerns.
Thanks for the story, and it is quite a tragedy that Samus ended up like that at the end.
10872199
Damn, I forgot about the second fight. It's been.... a decade since I've played that game. I really should replay it before dread comes out.
10872063
Nah man... well maybe.
Like That crab tank thing in Fusion looked like it had a Brain like structure in its chassis, and the 'nightmare' had some weird green slime under its face plate.
The learning machines in the Metroid universe might operate under Biomimetic substances that help them have a functioning AI or VI.
Yeah, RD had no good reason for tak im ng the helmet. She just wanted to screw someone over and look good for doing so.
I was almost certain after Twilight mentioned that Spike had a bad heart Samus would have dove right in and gave him some energy or something to help with his heart.
10872258
I considered it, because the metroid could do the same, but his problem is *spoilers* connected to his DNA, as its been damaged due to his eggs long stay in stasis.
Just didn't quite seem to fit. Like if he was having a heart attack, or there was something attacking his heart then I suppose it would make sense but I couldn't figure out a way to make it work without it feeling ham-fisted.
Yeah this suddenly became more relevant with Metroid Dread coming out later this year.
10872390
I've always been tempted to right a story like this, but that trailer and the cover art, really got the creative juices flowing.
A comedic story with a dark twist, or a dark story with a comedic twist? Who can tell? Either way, this was an enjoyable read.
Metroid on MY fimfiction? Excellent! I shall read this later tonight!!
I looked up the trailer on YouTube, but while it looked cool, I didn’t see the scary face in the trailer! So...what’s the deal with the scary face? Is Samus actually a Metroid/human hybrid? Is the scary face just to get people to read this story? Is this not actually Samus? What’s the deal with the scary face?
10873289
This is all head cannon stuff. If you read the story it's all explained.
This is a great Slice of Life story. thank you for this.
Very good story, I've always liked the idea of Samus undergoing mutations post Fusion (and hopefully in Dread we'll see that) and having the ponies be the ones to help her accept it was very heart warming, excellent job
10873900
Speaking of, while my Metroid lore knowledge is relatively small, IRC, wasn't she fused with her armor, or parts of it, in Fusion?
10874361
Yes part of her suit was melded to her body as the X parasite deconstructed it, thus creating the fusion suit. Some theorized that her fusing with the SA-X in the end repaired the damage, but it's unknown for sure
10874466
10874361
Misconception but no--she’s fully able to remove the suit at will, and the post-game photos confirm this.
10874472
Ah, thanks for clarifying
Definitely an interesting take on the whole DNA infusions concept in-universe! Well-done! Really enjoyed the read
10874474
I think this stemmed from the whole “one life ended and I was reborn something new” line from the Fusion introduction, and early reviewers/speculators took ‘fusion’ as literal, and it just stuck
Sure thing!
10874472
Good point, I recall some people debating this in regards to Dread. One noted they only cut away the outer layer of the suit, etc. Also, some people still be bitching about the Zero Suit.
10874490
. And as for how much was cut off, it’s difficult to say... as well as how much of her appearance is based on surgery as opposed to the genetic modifications by the metroid vaccine. Considering some of Samus’ Fusion Suit doesn’t make sense due to surgery (the more angular visor, the color, etc), I’m inclined to say that things were more as a result of vaccine as opposed to outright surgery.
Are they? Damn... well I guess they never got the good endings for Fusion
10874466
Wiki says it did.
10874505
Yeah. But yeah, some people are like, "REEE, the Zero Suit is too sexual. Why did they put her in a skin tight bodysuit?" And I'm like, "You know she was basically in a bra and a pair of panties/booty shorts originally right? And arguably a full body suit makes a bit more sense under power armor.
10874478
IRC, isn't Samus technically partially Metroid now?
10874602
Canon answer to that? Likely because of what you said. Aerodynamics and baggy clothes under a tight suit of armor probably doesn’t make sense, though I can be totally wrong on this.
Real answer? People like skin-tight suits on fit and lithe individuals lel
10874614
Vaccine altered her genetic makeup to be resistant to the x parasite, but she got the cold weakness as well, as we saw in Fusion, so yee. How much she is, isn’t certain. Maybe it altered just a few specific DNA sequences that make her have essential (and some non favorable) mutations without completely obliterating her human and chozo DNA beyond recognition. Or maybe she likes giving hickies now. No idea, but based on the canon post-mission photos, she seems relatively normal, so my guess is the former
10874626
Yeah, likely it was very lite mutation. I'm just her imagining doing a Metroid kiss on a potential lover. Adorable, and funny.
Also yeah, its kinda common for most people in power armor to have some kind of skintight thing under the suit....or just be naked
This was a very nicely written story. Really scratched an itch that a long time metroid fan would have and still brushes the idea of something looking unusual in truth being quite kind that MLP would adhere to.
10873289
While canon doesn't distort her human features like this, the whole point of that artwork is that she's had some Chozo mixed in there since before we knew she was female and then Fusion added Metroid on top of that mess.
10874361
10874466
My reading is that the suit was always a symbiotic organism of sorts, and this had just never come up until it got infected with a pan-species parasite.
10874472
Not necessarily "at will"; if I remember the scene correctly, surgery was necessary because it couldn't be removed the normal way without her consent and being unconscious doesn't count as consent no matter what that one guy tried to claim to get out of a rape charge (blanking on the name at the moment).
10875545
Yes of course at HER will.
Damn it. How is she still attractive?
Is this actually part of a series? I'd like to know before I go reading so I don't accidentally jump into the middle of the "book". I'd look myself but you have 126 stories, so...
10876542
I had a 150+ at one point :P.
No this is not part of a series. I would have marked this as a prequel/sequel otherwise.
10876551
Cool. Thanks. I figured as much but the description kind of made it sound like there was more.
I love that Idea
A nice little distraction, I like the idea of Samus mutating into something more alien looking. I’m also gonna guess that the 9’ height is a result of the mutation, not mistake about her previous height.
10923711
yup. Mutation and being part bird creature.
IIRC her suit was originally semi-organic in nature, which was why the X were able to infect it, and the metroid DNA got incorporated into the suit during treatment as she was still wearing it at the time. Similar to how it's able to take on the traits of defeated enemies. That's why he suit looks different.
Don't read if you have not finish metroid dread.
Just finish metroid dread and this story is even more possible now that the canon say that samus has turned into a metroid.
11011003
The comment, not the story. I havent played dread but I heard it was good. What exactly happens anyway?
11011116
Well i make 2 responses one where i am vague with details and one that is full blown spoiler.
Vague one So things happen that activates the metroid vaccine that essentially turns samus into a metroid with energy draining abilities. Computer Adam literally says that she has turned into a metroid.
Full spoiler endgame and story explained.
So the big bad of this game is a choso named raven beak that wants to use the metroids as a bioweapon. This is why he kills the other choso in the secret image in samus returns.(one detail, there are 2 tribes of choso that are relevant here the thoha tribe, the ones that raised samus and made metroids and the mawkin tribe, a warrior tribe that raven beak is the chief of.)The thoha tribe wanted to stop the metroids as they had grown out of control but raven beak wanted to use them to take over the galaxy so he killed all of them except one. Raven beak intended to collect the metroids later but when he came back the metroids has already been exterminated by samus.
But then he learned that samus had the last metroid dna inside her so he lured her to ZDR and use the hacked emmis to get the dna. Now to the, samus is a metroid thing. When samus faces raiven beak at the start of the game the red light is the metroid instincts activating because the metroids apparently sees the mawkin tribe as a threat. This makes raiven beak spare samus as he sees an opportunity to get something greater than just the metroid dna. So he sets up the entire game as a trial to fully awaken the metroid dna in samus.
And in the last fight when samus is about to lose to raiven beak samus transforms to a metroid. Not with a face like in this story but her suit and manners becomes much more aggressive and the suit has a very much metroid look to it. And thats it, this is how the games story goes. There is a scene at samus ship that makes it seems like the metroid part of her is reversed, but the reason for this does not make sense to me. So to me she is still full metroid just calmed down.
I’m familiar enough with the Metroid series to know that our dear girl Samus never seams to catch a break. It seems whatever happened in Metroid Dread to turn her into whatever she is now seems to solidify that notion. Poor samus, she never can truly relax.
Would love to see more from this, I see potential

Metroid Dread ending spoilers below.
Thoha are able to control Metroids to some degree, and logically this would extend to the X that absorbed the dead Quiet Robe too, and moreso, the game kinda implies that it is possible for those absorbed by X to not lose themselves to it, albeit it's rather vague on that save for Raven Beak's soldiers all being X.
Basically, somehow Quiet Robe became a dominant force of the X entity that absorbed him, probably not permanently but long enough to aid Samus towards the end of the game by sneaking aboard her ship and willingly being absorbed by her, using Quiet Robe's Metroid Manipulation capabilities to render Samus' awakened Metroid powers dormant or just calmed sufficiently so as to allow her to revert to normal and escape the planet without immediately draining her ship dry the moment she touched the controls.
