Metroid: Decay

Well, I'd imagine that she wouldn't want to leave any of the stuff the Chozo left her behind, so...

Also kinda surprised that there wasn't a Pirate going "WHY ARE YOU CHARGING HER WHY AREN'T WE RUNNING" :V

Samus is basically the Pirates Satan figure at this point, isn't she?
These pirates are eating human flesh. They normally don't do that.

Let's just say that they aren't in the right mind right now.

The pirate's jaw opened wide, while Samus ripped those that were behind him to shreds with a combination of grapple and charged plasma beams. Scorched pieces of pirate came screaming through the air, as Sullivan gulped in terror. She pulled her gun back up, and shot at the creature's face.

The shot passed by his head harmlessly, as the creature rehinged his jaw and laughed darkly. In a quicker motion, it grabbed her arm and bit into it with a loud, sickening crunch of armor and flesh. Sullivan screamed in abject agony, as she tried to yank her right arm out of its jaw, before it simply yanked its head to the side.

The force ripped into her arm, pulling out chunks of flesh and skin, letting pieces of armor clang against the ground. It laughed again and again, before it started digging into her arm with one of its arms.

She shot at it wildly in the midst of panic, shots fired wildly as the pirate ripped into her arm. Her hand went limp as the blood flow stopped, before the pirate started digging into her helmet. Sullivan screamed louder and louder, both in terror and in agony, as the pirate came closer and closer to digging into her helmet.

And then, suddenly, there was a flash of heat, and the pirate suddenly fell limp. Sullivan kept screaming, tears streaming from her face as she started to crawl back, before she noticed that the pirate had the top half of its head burnt away. Smoke rose from what remained of its skull, and she saw that its head had metal implants in it, with a few wires and motors sprawled about wildly.

She stood up, in a daze, with her arm ruined and limp. She stumbled a little as her arm dangled uselessly, and she already started feeling a bit light-headed, and as her vision slowly came into focus, she saw what happened in front of her.

In the middle of a group of pirate corpses, Samus stood up while covered in green, blue and red blood. She turned her cannon towards the remaining three, before they all ran the other way, one of them grasping at a missing left arm. Samus nodded once, before she turned to face Sullivan. And immediately, her eyes widened behind her visor. Samus ran towards her, and quickly caught her. "You're bleeding."

"No f-f-fuckin'..." Sullivan coughed a little. "...fuck."

"You're losing blood too quickly." Samus said. Her voice didn't raise too much, but she was in a panic. "I'm going to need the cauterize the wound."

"What the fuck doessssssit-" Her vision started to turn black. "Doesn't matter..." She trailed off. "...fuck."

"You're going to lose your arm." Samus charged her plasma beam, as she yanked the woman's armor off of her arm. "This is going to hurt."

"W-what are-" Suddenly, she felt a rush of heat in her arm. Her bone, muscle and skin holding her arm to her body was vaporized, and her eyes widened in sudden surprise.

Her scream echoed throughout the forest.

"Do you have access to the cameras, yet?" The officer asked.

"Not yet, Mal. Not yet." The man murmured.

"Well, fuck. I guess if something big and nasty comes up to the door we're just boned, then." Nova shrugged.

"Well, it can't possibly be worse than it is now." The big man said.

"There's the Higgs I know." Nova laughed, before the captain just sighed.

"...Hold up." The man underneath the desk said. "I found it!" He said, before he adjusted a few more wires. "Here we go!" And with that, several monitors flickered to life as multiple cameras were put back online. Most were blackened out, destroyed by the wildlife, but some of them showed off the various sectors of the ship.

And immediately, the officer noticed a certain set of orange armor. "...is that...?"

"Hm? What?" Higgs moved forward.

And as he said that, he noticed the armored suit moving around, making sure that the person cradled on her lap was comfortable. Suddenly, her armor disappeared, and the officer's eyes widened. "...Well, I'll be damned."

Higgs blinked. "...Is that who I think it is?"

"Is what? Is what who you what?" Nova popped up behind them."

"...It is." The officer said. "...Samus Aran."

And now Chloe, you get to join the ranks of the other Moid protags, there's a support group and everything. Asuka, Jenny, Sayaka, Koko, and Priscilla meet regularly on friday nights at about 6pm. It's free and Asuka generally brings a good german stout.

What, the Mook isn't a member?

The shot passed by his head harmlessly, as the creature rehinged his jaw and laughed darkly/whatever adverb/phrase you want to use that has a similar meaning (lowly has to do with being humble, not low as an adverb).

It's absolutely hilarious reading the space pirate logs about Samus. The log in Echoes where they realised that there was two of her was just brilliant.
 
Chloe's eyes wandered around the trees above her head. She groaned lightly, staring around as she slowly sat up. She turned, and immediately saw Samus Aran nearby, lighting up a fire, before she forcibly impaled a small animal. She set up a camp, and placed it right above the fire. "...S-Samus?" Chloe murmured.

"You're still injured." Samus said. "...Don't move."

Chloe moved herself. "W-wait, I can still..." She moved her right arm ahead, before she froze. Instead of having a hand towards Samus with, there was just a stump. "My arm..." It was burnt; the arm had been burnt. "My arm!"

"I had to cauterize it." Samus said. "...And burn part of your arm. That particular species' bite is poisonous...you were delirious from blood loss."

"M-my fucking arm." Chloe stared at it in mild shock. "My f-fucking arm..."

"I will help you move." Samus said. "You will need a prosthetic-"

"F-fuck." Chloe started to laugh a little, before it dissolved into sobbing. "F-fuck-!"

"I'm sorry." Samus said, before she moved to set up a bubble shield. "...In the meantime, here. Rain will start in a few minutes."

Sullivan sobbed again. "How d-d-do you know-"

[RAIN WILL BEGIN IN FIVE MINUTES]​

"That's how." Samus said. "...Simulated rain. This facility was made to form a full ecosystem."

Sullivan curled herself up, as she just stared in front of her. She buried her face in her left hand, and eventually, the rain fell on top of the shield. Smoke rose out of the top, as Samus quietly stared in front.

"We'll need to leave tomorrow. Just be sure to get some rest for now." Samus turned over, and rested her head on a nearby rock. "Goodnight."

Sullivan just stared at the fire.

[SECTOR 3]
 
I have to admit I am really looking forward to the Ridley encounters just to see how Samus reacts to him. One thing though as this is a repair Fic for Other M shouldn't it be before the Prime series chronologically?
 
I assumed the series went
Super Metroid > Other M > a load of other games > Prime
Fusion is the last game in the series. It definitely takes place after Super, since it mentions the Baby Metroid's DNA saving Samus' life.

Prime is kind of vague, but it fits after Metroid Classic/Zero Mission and before Metroid II, because Ridley's become Meta Ridley and Samus has already fought Space Pirates before (she's called 'The Hunter' and I think there's a mention of Zebes, but not SR388 - so it happens before Metroid II).

Metroid Classic/Zero Mission is the first game chronologically (Samus' first meeting with Mother Brain and first clash with the Space Pirates), and Metroid II fits after Prime, but before Super Metroid (Super follows Metroid II's ending).
 
It goes Original/Zero Mission -> the Primes -> Metroid II -> Super Metroid -> Other M -> Fusion. I don't know where Hunters fits in exactly, but I'm pretty sure it goes with the rest of the Primes.
 
I was reasonably sure that my timeline was wrong but I never wanted to confirm it because as long as i thought Other M was early in the series it helped dull the pain of the terrible characterization. I was able to pretend that she was having an off moment from PTSD before she really got into the badass bounty hunter thing. Now I know otherwise.
 
To tell you the truth, the only Metroid game I've ever played was Super Metroid for the SNES. So the Metroid other M debacle didn't have as much of an impact on me. But I can understand the rage. I have legitimately never seen so much backlash at a game since the Mass Effect 3 ending controversy.
