Samus and The Recruit - FULL

Transcript

Hey! Hey! Wake up, Marine! This area is getting too hot! We've got to move! You're with the Federation, right? Where's the rest of your squad? Dammit! We can't stay here! Can you walk? Come on! The settlement's over there! We've got to get off this planet! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Name's Samus.

Samus Aran. I'm a bounty hunter. I got a call to come in and assist you against the pirates.

And while I normally love taking these guys down a peg, there's a few too many of them for my liking. Move it, soldier. My ship isn't far.

More pirates. We could take a stealthy approach. Or we could just move through them.

All right, come on! Hurry, let's get aboard! Good shooting back there.

Now, let me set the autopilot. All right. I don't think they'll follow us.

They're pretty dead set on making this a new homeworld. Makes sense. I'm pretty sure I blew up their mothership on the last one.

All right. We'll settle into a loose orbit around the planet and sit tight. I'm putting out a call for backup.

Unfortunately, it's going to take more than just the two of us to stop them at this point. Here, your power suit looks damaged. Let's get you out of it so we can run diagnostics.

You want to stay in it for a bit? I mean, sure. That's okay.

That didn't look like much of a fight down there. Did they only send in one squad? Of course they did.

Figures. For all their talk about making the galaxy safer, the Federation doesn't care about their people. They care about the bottom line.

Hopefully we'll have reinforcements soon. We can get back down there and, well, finish the job. Hmm.

I'm usually the quiet one. Are you okay? Did you lose friends down there? That's your homeworld.

Oh. Uh. I'm so sorry.

You must have fought like hell before I showed up. If it helps, I, um, I lost everyone, too. Pirates.

I was only three, but some things you just don't forget. What did I do? Well, I mean, the Chozo took me in, raised and trained me like one of their own, but.

.. Well, let's just say they're not there anymore, either. Anyway.

You can't let the people you lost pull you down. You can't. Otherwise, you're never gonna get back up.

In their memory, you've got to do what they would've wanted. You've gotta keep moving forward. For me, that means doing what I can to make sure nobody else loses anything to those damn pirates and their Metroids.

So when I say I'm sorry for your loss, I mean it. Truly. What do you say we get off our asses for a bit, huh? While we wait? I'm sure you've got some energy to burn off.

I know I do. I've got some gym equipment and a mat on the ship. Wanna work out for a bit? Maybe do some sparring? Sounds good.

But, um. .. You're gonna need to take off the power suit first.

You think you could do that? Okay. Good.

Follow me. How long you been with the Corps? I was a Federation Marine for a while.

Had a good squad. And a good CO. Despite how things turned out.

You might actually know him. Adam Malkovich. No? No.

Oh well. No, I left voluntarily. I didn't really appreciate how the Federation treated their people back then.

Doesn't seem to have changed much. Mercenary work suits me better anyhow. Here we are.

You want first go at the machines, or. .. You wanna spar first? Suits me fine.

Alright. Let's go. Okay, let's get it.

Stretch. Make sure you're stretching first. Come on.

Don't worry about hurting me either. I'm more than just an orange power suit, you know. Can I say the same for you, though? Show me what you've got, Marine.

Come on. Good shot. Come on.

Everyone's got a plan until they take a hit. What are you gonna do now, huh? Get up.

Let's go. It's not your fault, you know. You did everything you could, getting yourself.

.. Good block. Killed down there.

Wouldn't have saved them. I lost two families to the same pirate. An ugly bastard named Ridley.

First my parents. .. And then the Chozo who raised me.

Trust me. I know something about survivor's guilt. You gotta let it out.

Don't let it poison you. You're not a parasite just because you lived. Come on, Marine.

You can do better than that. Anger. Sadness.

They're parasites. You can't run from them. You can't drown in them.

Either. You've gotta face them. Make them your own.

Use them to patch the holes in your armor and keep going. It's the only way. Trust me.

It's the only way. Scared? Scared is normal, too.

Fear of death keeps you alive. Keeps you focused. Anyone who tells you not to be scared is either placating you.

.. Or trying to get you killed. Come on.

Get back up. Ridley? Oh, I killed him.

Five, maybe six times now. Every time I take on pirates, a little part of me is afraid he's gonna be there. Somehow, cloned, turned into a full cyborg, something.

But you know what? Even if he is, that's okay. I'm just gonna kill him again.

So you do have some moves. Good. I was afraid this was gonna be too much talk therapy.

Come on. Hit me, Marine. Stop trying to hit me and hit me.

Good match, Marine. And now what? You wanna hit the weights again, or.

.. More. ..

sparring, huh? Hm. Yeah, sure.

That works for me. I'm feeling a little bit pent up. I could use the.

.. workout. Let me just slip into something a little bit more.

.. comfortable. Hm.

Alright, Marine. You ready for round two? These workout clothes are a bit more.

.. revealing than my Zero suit. You surprised by these thick arms and broad shoulders? It's not all power armor, you know.

Don't get distracted now. Hands up. Gotcha.

Too slow, Marine. Keep those hands up. Just because you kissed me doesn't mean I'm gonna go easy on you.

I'll point out that you chose to spar instead of workout while we waited for backup from the Federation. And that you are the one who kissed me. So you've set all the terms here.

I am just adapting to them. If you're just trying to touch me, you'll have an easier time if you just. ..

come in a little closer. Come on. Headlock, huh? Good grip.

Nice arm strength, but how's your footwork, huh? Using your opponent's weight was hand-to-hand 101 when I was a kid. Do they even still teach that, or are you just out of practice? Very funny.

But if you're gonna grab my legs, you should be prepared for the consequences. I've got you now. How are you gonna get out of this leglock, huh? That's not exactly a regulation tactic, Marine.

You've got me working up a sweat, though, and if we're gonna fight dirty, I don't want to. .. stain my top.

See something you like? Don't make it too easy for me now. What? Keeping light on your feet's a boxing technique.

Why, is something distracting you, hmm? Is me bouncing on my heels without that sweaty top making you. ..

lose focus? You could take your top off, too, if you wanted. You know, just make things even.

You got a good body. Now, are you gonna show me what you can do with it? Really? Another grapple? I thought you'd learned your lesson.

I've got you now. My turn. What? You wanna be on top? Try and take it from me, then.

Go on. I don't know, I think you like it down there. Arms penned over your head, me straddling you.

Tits hovering just out of reach. You wanna touch them? Taste them.

Fight for it, then. You have to do better than that if you. ..

A nice reversal. Good to see you've got some power in your hips. Hey, while you're on top of me, I just wanna put something out there before we move on to.

.. Round three. I know this isn't an ideal circumstance.

Not exactly a picture of mental health myself, so. .. We're just gonna call this stress relief and keep it casual.

Not okay with you? I thought so. Now what are you waiting for? Touch me.

Fuck. It's been so long since somebody grabbed my tits. They feel good in your mouth? I bet they'd feel even better in your mouth.

Go on. You're not the only one who can reverse. My turn to taste you.

You're working up quite a sweat, too. Is that why your pants are dark? Let me just rub my knee against the seam.

You like how I'm grinding against you? I know I like what I'm feeling. Put your hand down my shorts and see for yourself.

I'm so wet. Yeah, right there. Oh, fuck.

Come on, use those fingers. Let me slide back, I'm taking these off.
