Metroid Fusion: Difference between revisions

Shortly after the events of ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', [[Samus Aran]] had been assigned to protect biologic researchers on a mission on the surface of the planet [[SR388]], the former home of the now extinct [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]]s. While exploring the underground, Samus was attacked by a local creature. After exploding, the creature sprouted an unknown gelatinous yellow life-form that was immune to Samus's [[Missile]]s. It was absorbed into her Suit. The life-form would later turn out to be the parasitic [[X Parasite|X]]. On her way back to the Biologic Space Labs, the X took control of Samus's central nervous system, and she became unconscious. Uncontrolled, [[Samus Aran's Gunship|her Gunship]] crashed into an asteroid in a nearby asteroid belt. The ship's automatic security system ejected the escape pod before the impact, and Samus was later found by Biologic's vessel.

Samus was brought for instant treatment to the [[Galactic Federation]] HQ. During the transport, the X multiplied in Samus's body and corrupted large parts of her [[Power Suit]]. Because the Power Suit is integrated into Samus's own system the Federation could remove it while she was unconscious, instead they surgically removed large portions of it, altering its [[Fusion Suit|appearance]] but the X in Samus's nervous system still provided an immediate threat for her survival. However, she could finally be cured with an anti-X vaccine made from [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]] cells derived from the [[Metroid Hatchling]] (seen in ''[[Super Metroid]]''). The vaccine destroyed the X parasites in Samus's body saving her life. The vaccine also made her permanently immune to the X. In addition, Samus gained the ability to absorb X parasites, using their energy to replenish her health and weapons.
