THE LEGEND OF ZELDA, METROID OF TIME

Disclaimer:

I do not own any of the Nintendo characters in this story. Nor do I own Metroid or Zelda

Authors Note: OK so this is a story where basically The Legend of Zelda crosses over with the Metroid game. The two mainheroes in this story, are Samus, and Link.

I've updated this chapter. I've fixed as many errors as I could find. Please let me know if I missed any. Remember to be specific for what chapter.

Deep in the depths of the Metroid Galaxy lays a space station dedicated to science, and discovering the secrets of an alien species known as the Metroid.

A young woman, Samus, is a bounty hunter, who hunts down evil space pirates, and hunts down the metroids as well, so that they can be studied for their unique abilities.

Whilst exploring the outskirts of an unknown planet, our hero is on the trail the big time space pirate, The Evil Ridley. Samus walks under the starry undefined skies, of the unknown planet.

A light purple haze blurring Samus' vision, spread vast beyond the horizon of the supposedly uninhabited rough rocky lands. The air was cold and crisp.

Samus walks with her plasma cannon ready to shoot at the slightest sound. Samus comes to a cave and tries to peer into it, but it's too dark to see into.

Samus turns her helmet lights and creeps into the cave ever so slowly. The cave ceiling was damp, suggesting that water was in the cave somewhere. Barnacles grew out of the cave walls. And odd glowing light purple mushrooms with frills under the caps grew in spots along ground against the cave walls. Walking through the many twists and turns of the cave, Samus doesn't find anything suspicious looking.

Now very deep into the cave, Samus walks into a wide area with tunnels in the walls all leading some where even deeper into the cave. The walls of this area are littered with glowing blue spots all throughout the huge cavity. "This must be the middle of the cave" She wonders to herself.

She walks to the edge of a cliff and peers down to find that the room dropped several levels down. "Now what do I do?" she ponders as she looks around the room. "The ceiling before here was damp. So there might be a lake or something somewhere at the top."

"Maybe one of these tunnels leads to it." She peers up and spots a lone tunnel at the very top. "That looks as good as any other place to start."

Samus shoots her grapple beam up and ascends to the top. The moment she steps into the tunnel she hears an all too familiar screech. "ERRRRAAAAAAA!", "Ah! Where's it coming from?"

Samus Turns back around and walks to the edge then peers down only to jump back as fast as she could. Ridley comes slicing through the damp air and stops to hover above Samus. Samus gets her plasma beam ready to shoot.

"Little wretched hunter! Why have you tailed me to this place!", "I'm here to bring you in Ridley! Your days of terrine are over!", " I don't have time to fool with you tiny human!" Ridley roars with tremendous anger.

"Now get out of my way! You're blocking my path!", "Tell me what you're after!" Samus demanded. "It's none of your concern little wretch!" Ridley retorts. "I've had it with you! Now catch wind of my fire and DIE!"

Ridley summons up a fiery breath from his twisted evil belly. Samus doges back into the tunnel and starts running along the rocky path. "Whatever he's wanting must be at the end of this tunnel! And knowing him, I doubt it's any good. I have to get to it before he does!" Samus looks back only to see Ridley quickly closing in on her. "Annoying little pest!" He screams. "Just die already!

Ridley lets out a mighty fire blast at her. Samus Jumps and slides to doge, but quickly gets back up to start running." I have to do something or he is doing to toast me for sure" She thinks to herself. "Wait that's it! This air is moist! Maybe my freeze beam will work well here!" Samus turns on her Freeze ray and twists her arm back to blast him with it, but Ridley counters it with yet another fire blast. "Foolish bounty hunter! Such silly tricks won't work on me!" Ridley fires another flame at her, and again she jumps and slides to doge.

"I have no other choice then, I'll have to use my speed boots to get to the end of the tunnel first. If there's enough room, I should be able to fight him with my charge beam and missiles. I only have 6 missiles left so I'll have to be careful. "With hopes for more room to fight, Samus activates her speed boots and zips away quickly, but Ridley starts to speed up as well." Is that the end?

I think I see an opening! Samus prayers were answered as she came into a really large room with a big lake. "Ah! A lake is here? So I was right, that's why the ceilings down below were so moist.

Samus slides to stop and turns around quickly and gets her missiles ready." I'll fire three missiles first." Ridley burst into the room to be met with three missiles flying right at him which he countered quickly with three small fire balls to stop them in their tracks. "Didn't I tell you your little tricks won't work on me?! This is where your life ends foolish Samus!" He threatens and Samus argues back, "We'll see about that!"

Ridley flies into the air, high above Samus. Samus tries shooting him down with her charge beam, but Ridley doges them easily. Ridley then going a bit higher, to gain an advantage with speed and height then shoots straight down at Samus planning to smash her with his large bone beak.

Samus tries to counter that by shooting her charge beam at him, but he merely twists around the shots. Samus begins to panic as she looks around trying to figure out what to do. "At this rate, I'm really going to get killed!"

Samus starts to run, in order to buy her more time, but fails, as Ridley catches up, and smashes right into her back, sending Samus flying quite far across the room, and right into a wall, cracking her visor. "No...This. Can't be it...but..

I'm running, out of oxygen...what..*cough* ..what can I do.." Samus closes her eyes, and images start flowing through her mind. Then something clicked, an idea popped into her mind.

"The lake, I can, try to freeze him again, it didn't work last time, but if I can get him to follow me into the lake, and get out before he does, then maybe, maybe I can freeze him in the lake! I've got just enough energy left in my suit to pull this off." Wasting no more time thinking, Samus gets up to find that Ridley had lost interest in her, and seemed to be looking for something.

"Whatever he came here for, he won't be getting it." Samus then shouts at the top of her lungs. "Hey! Ridley! I'm not done yet!" and shoots a missile at him.

At the sound of this, Ridley quickly turns around to avoid the missile. "You pesky bounty hunter!" Why won't you just stay down!?" Ridley charges after Samus once again

Once he started closing in, Samus wasted no time activating her speed boots, and started running towards the lake. "There's no way I'd be done in by the likes of you, Scum bag Pirate!" Samus reaches the lake, and jumps in. " Don't you think you can get away from me in the water! I'm just as agile in water as in the air!" Ridley plunges into the lake, but loses site of Samus. "Where did the pest go?" Ridley searches around franticly.

Samus floating above the unknowing Ridley then fires a fully charged beam at him, the kick of it firing sending her up, and out of the water, and soaring high above the lake. She takes the chance to start charging her ice beam for the right moment.

Ridley nearly dodging the charge beam was now aware of where she was, and started charging after right away, but the moment, he got his head out of the water, and he was met with an ice beam head on, freezing not only him, but the entire lake as well.

Samus comes crashing down to the ground hard. Unable to move any more, Samus fades away into unconsciousness.

OK! That's the first chapter! I know it was short, but I'm only getting started, I'll try to make sure I make the rest of the chapters longer! Please review and rate my first chapter, of my first fanfic!

*UPDATE* How was the revision of this chapter? Some sentences were changed, taken away, and added. But most importantly, I corrected Grammar and spelling for a much more enjoyable read! Let me know what you think!

Samus has fought the evil Ridley and won the fight, but falls unconsciousness, and Her Oxygen is depleting, AND FAST! Will she be OK? Stay tuned, and find out in the next chapter! Samus' Dream! And The Mysterious Metriod!
