Metroid Dark (Sci-Fi Evolved)/Can the World Ever Be Fixed?

Can the World Ever Be Fixed? is the first episode of Metroid Dark.

Transcript
It begins with a soldier guarding twelve Metroids on a massive research shuttle as he is listening to music as suddenly he hears the sound of a door opening. He sees the Space Pirates enter the vessel, lead by the giant reptile, Ridley. He frantically grabs an ice blaster as he fires it at some of the Metroids and proceeds to shatter them. Ridley roars and grabs the soldier and starts choking him. The soldier grabs the blaster and fires it at Ridley, temporarily causing him to let go. The soldier quickly grabs the rest of the Metroids and runs into an escape pod. He pants as soon the Metroids turn to the soldier and eats him alive. After that scene, the theme plays as the title shows as it cuts to Samus sitting in a waiting room as soon a Secretary visits her. Dhe follows the secretary as she soon sees Adam sitting in a chair. It cuts to Samus on a ship as it lands on an Earth ravaged by a nuclear war. She takes in her surroundings as a hoard of Ghouls and a Deathclaw suddenly attack Samus. She dodges the attacks and turns into a ball to get some distance between her and the beasts. She then detransforms from a ball and begins firing at the ghouls, using her arm cannon and missiles. Suddenly, the Deathclaw roars and jumps on Samus. She coughs as she activates her hyper beam and fires it at the Deathclaw. It roars and then dies. Samus pants as she sees a sharp dressed man and a robot as Samus points her beam to them. She does as Benny pulls Yes-Man aside and whispers to him.
 * Ridley: Give me the Metroids.
 * Soldier: Never!
 * Secretary: Com. Malkovich will be seeing you now.
 * Samus: Great…
 * Adam: Samus, please sit down?
 * Samus: I'm good.
 * Adam: Okay then. You know, I miss the old days. You training with Ian and the other cadets.
 * Samus: And then they died because of that bullshit Galactic Federation code.
 * Adam: I know, I need to abide by it. But you don't.
 * Samus: What are you suggesting?
 * Adan: The Space Pirates have invaded a research shuttle. They were experimenting on twelve Metroids. Half of them died but the other half got on an escape pod. The Federation analyzed on what planet these Metroids landed on.
 * Samus: And you want me to kill them?
 * Adam: Yes. I will pay you 500,000 credits but all after the task is done. I don't want to be paying a dead woman.
 * Samus: Fine.
 * Adam: I'm glad we can work something out.
 * Samus: Who are you?
 * Benny: Benny. And I was going to ask the same to you.
 * Samus: Samus Aran. And I am here to kill creatures called Metroids.
 * Yes-Man: Scanning my database for mentions of Metroids… There are none.
 * Samus: I'll just explain it to you two. They are monsters devoid of emotions or rational thought. All they want to do is eat. Eat until all of the universe is just the Metroids.
 * Benny: Mr. House should know of this.
 * Samus: Is he the head of this planet?
 * Benny: You can say that. Let's go.
 * Benny: (whispering) Today is the day. The day we become gods!

He pushes Yes-Man aside as he keeps leading Samus. They keep walking as it cuts to Ridley entering a computer room as the super computer, Mother Brain, is repairing itself.


 * Mother Brain: Did you get the Metroids?
 * Ridley: The soldier guarding them managed to place them in an escape pod.
 * Mother Brain: Why did you let him?
 * Ridley: I didn't! He caught me off guard!
 * Mother Brain: Aren't you the big bad Ridley? First losing to a pathetic orphan and now a random security guard? You're weak, expendable.
 * Ridley: You can't kill me! I was the one who convinced you of your glorious purpose!
 * Mother Brain: I know that. That's why I'm not going to kill you.

Ridley gives a sigh of relief as suddenly a bunch of mechanical tentacles latch onto Ridley.


 * Mother Brain: I'm making you better.

Ridley screams as it cuts to Samus, Benny and Yes-Man arriving to another Securiton but this time it has a face that is a lot more regal looking.


 * Mr. House: Who is this, Benny?
 * Samus: I am Samus Aran and I am here to deal with a pest problem.
 * Mr. House: I already got soldiers getting rid of Bloatflies, Deathclaws, Super Mutants and all of that:
 * Samus: Oh not any of that. Something alien. Metroids. Unstoppable and insatiable. I’m the only one who knows how to beat them.
 * Mr. House: How much do you want?
 * Samus: I don't need any cash. I am already being paid to hunt them down. I just need your permission.
 * Mr. House: A society is built on tradition and everything being exactly as the ruler visioned. That is the only way to make sure nothing goes wrong. These Metroid creatures sound like a threat to that perfect society. You have my permission.
 * Samus: Alright then.

She walks off as soon Benny and Yes-Man follow. It cuts to Adam Malkovich flipping a coin as soon he gets a holocall from a Galactic Federation agent from another quadrant, Tammy Gueterman.


 * Tammy: You hired a bounty Hunter to the Earth D-34 when I had it handled?
 * Adam: Have you ever dealt with a Metroid?
 * Tammy: No but-
 * Adam: She has.
 * Tammy: But she doesn't follow protocol.
 * Adam: And if you were sent, you would already be dead.
 * Tammy: You don't know that.
 * Adam: I do. My brother died by the Metroids. He thought he can handle guarding them. He thought he could handle them. Luckily he destroyed half of them and forced his ship to crash into Zebes. Samus was the one who initially killed the Metroids. She's the one who crippled the Space Pirates. I read your files and what you do is emotional manipulation. What were you going to do with a Metroid? Kiss it? I trust Samus, why should I trust you?
 * Tammy: Because we are on the same team.
 * Adam: Samus has this covered. Logging off.

He logs off as it cuts to Samus, Benny and Yes-Man looking for Metroids.


 * Benny: Hey Samus was it? Is there a way to control those Metroid things?
 * Samus: Yes bu-
 * Benny: How?
 * Samus: I don't want to say.

Benny grabs a gun and points it at her head.


 * Benny: Tell me now goddamnit! I'm tired of living in House's shadow! This Metroid thing is my grand ticket! How New Vegas will be mine!

Samus just laughs.


 * Yes-Man: Why are you laughing?
 * Samus: You two seriously think pointing a gun at me would make me scared.
 * Yes-Man: It doesn't?

Instead of speaking, Samus fires her beam directly at Yes-Man, melting his face off. Benny prepares to fire his gun as Samus kicks the gun out of his hand. She then activates the weakest form of the beam and fires it in Benny's leg as he screams.


 * Samus: I don't want you to die but don't mess with me.

Benny screams as Samus walks off.
