Celestroid Fusion

Rainbow ran though the hidden area of the Main Sector taking out X-Parasites in their new forms. After dealing with them, Rainbow drop into a ice room and saw something that shock her. There standing in front of her was the statue of Discord! That confuse Rainbow. The last time she saw Discord he was turn to stone and place at the Canterlot garden like he was before he was free. Then Rainbow saw his eyes glow before the statue broke and a X-Parasite flew from it.

Rainbow decide against going after it, mainly because she couldn't get pass the wall. She walk pass the remains and fell though a weak floor into another part of the Docks. Before moving on, Rainbow place a Power Bomb on the ground and fond a hole that lead to a pipe. Rainbow went in it and found a Power Bomb pack and went back out she enter another room, this one fill with X-Parasites. Rainbow use a Power Bomb again and clear the room. She absorb the Parasites and then build up seed for her Speed Boost and broke though a wall. After finding a Missile pack, Rainbow climb up and found herself back on the Main Docks close to her ship. Rainbow ran to her ship and enter it. She sat in the chair and remove her Helmet. She shook her mane for a bit and contract Luna.

"Luna, I'm at my ship.", Rainbow said, "And something weird going on with this place."

"The main silo of the Reactor Core has gone offline. That's why all elevators and station systems are down. Hatches and certain rooms won't work either. This doesn't bode well…" Luna said worry before the map was brought up and Rainbow saw the 'TARGET' on it.

"Have to get the power online huh? No Problem." Rainbow said before she remember something, "Why did you call me back here anyway?"

"Yes about that, Some strange creatures boarded your ship earlier. I confirmed that they were not X hosts and gave them a berth. Do you know anything about these strange creatures?" Luna said then ask as she brought up an screen.

"Hey, those are the Etecoons and Dachoras I found in the Habitation Deck. Is it ok if they stay on my ship? It safer here then out there." Rainbow said in surprise before asking.

Rainbow knew Fluttershy would what her to keep them safe, after all Rainbow did save them so she thought it best for them to stay on her ship.

"Very well, then. Their presence in the midst of this disaster is very significance, they can stay on your ship. Now find a way to restore the power." Luna said and the contract was cut.

Rainbow pick up her helmet and look at the Etecoons and Dachoras and smile.

"You be safe here. I got some busies to take care of." Rainbow said and slip on her Helmet.

After Rainbow left her ship, she walk through two room and use her scanner to see that the wall ahead of her can be broking by a Power Bomb. She use one and walk into a room fill with vines and saw the core was cover in foliage! Rainbow shot though the vines and drop down to the bottom of the room. She walk though the open door and saw pipe everywhere. She even spotted a few Changelings-X that were tougher then before. Still rainbow found another E-Tank and during her trip though the pipe room she pick up another Missile Pack. She reach to the door that had a red eye guard and ready her missiles. After dodge three attack the real eye show and Rainbow fire at it and absorb the Red X and enter the room.

Rainbow wasn't where she was walk and fell though a hole. The Metroid DNA now let her flip her wing so she can make a soft landing. Rainbow look around getting the feeling she wasn't alone. She knew if there was a Red Eye Guard, then an X-Parasite has to in there. Rainbow quickly look up and then jump back as fire fell from the ceiling. Rainbow watch as a giant-spider like creature come from the ceiling and try to grab her. Rainbow ran from it and it follow her trying to catch her. Rainbow fire off her missile but boucle off it. After missing Rainbow again it stop and open it mouth. Remembering a creature she fought earlier, She fire into the mouth and the creature roar and then spit out fire. Rainbow dodge and smile.

"Oh yeah, come on say, Ahhh!" Rainbow said and waited until it open it mouth again.

Once it did Rainbow fire missiles in it mouth and dodge the fire it spit out. After casing it enough damage, it lost it legs and spit out junk at her, but kept it mouth open at all times. Rainbow switch to her Wide Beam and fire every time it stop spinning. It took longer but she switch between the beam and the Missiles until it run into a X-Core. Like with the cores before it, Rainbow fire missiles at the shell and waited until it stop flashing. After 4 more missiles the shell broke and Rainbow absorb the X-Core her suit then gave her an update.

"Space Jump Ability Recovered! Somersault continually in the air." It said.

Rainbow then notices that her wings were flapping on their own again and she try to jump. She spin the air with her wings making her jump every jump they flap. She space jump up to a hole and went though and fond the controls to the Auxiliary Power Station. She type in a few keys and soon saw that the bomb was on. She left the room and enter an Navigation Room.

"Luna I got the Auxiliary Power back on." Rainbow reported.

"Good, but only the Recharge Rooms and the Navigation Rooms are now back online, but with only auxiliary power, no elevators or hatches will work. Without the main silo online, we're still stuck. I believe the source of the problem is the vegetation you saw earlier. You'll have to find the source of those roots to proceed." Luna said.

"Any idea where it is?" Rainbow ask.

"I'm afraid not." Luna answer.

"Alright. I find out where they are coming from." Rainbow said and cut the link.

Rainbow went back the Central Reactor Core and look around.

Find the source to proceed, huh? These vines probably came from Sector 2, considering there were some smaller vines when I first went there. But is there any way to get there aside from the elevator? She ask in thought.

Rainbow follow the roots and notices all of them was coming from indeed Sector 2. Some was massed around a part of the wall and Rainbow fire a charge shot to find a morph ball size hole. She jump in and use a Power Bomb to clear the rest and enter Sector 2 once again.

Luna sign for the fifth time after Rainbow cut the connection. She was glad that Rainbow was doing so well and look that she was getting stronger. But something was bugging her. How did the samplers of Rainbow Dash get on the Station? And how are they getting stronger like Rainbow was. She didn't why but she knew Rainbow could handle it. If not she will retire her crown. She didn't what to be a Princess who send a pony to her death. She shook her head to clear those thoughts.

Twilight was talking to Work Tool about Metroids again. He wasn't able to find more but he had ideas on what they could look like and do.

"Well, I think if Metroid can take life energy then maybe they can give it too." He said.

"Well, that might be possible, but where did the come from? And how do they live?" Twilight ask.

"Now, Now, you two. We have plenty of time to figure out about those stuff but Work Tool, is Rainbow new weapon ready?" Rarity said then ask Work Tool.

"Yes, I just have to wait for Princess Luna order." Work Tool said then sign.

"What wrong?" Twilight ask.

"This will sound silly but I do fear Rainbow Dash won't make it. The X-Parasites are getting stronger just like Rainbow Dash. They may over power her. Plus I know Luna will think it her fault and never live it down." He explain.

"Your right, that is silly." Pinkie said over hearing him.

"Yeah, Rainbow Dash wouldn't go down without a fight." Apple Jack agree.

"We know Rainbow will make it back, She awesome that way." Fluttershy added casing all of her friends to look at her like she grew a second head.

"What?" Fluttershy ask more confuse then scare.

"We just can't believe you said that." Twilight answer.

"Well it how Rainbow would say it." Fluttershy explain meekly.

"Your all right. I should have more fate in Rainbow Dash. Maybe after this is over, I can use the weapons to remodel the Luna Suits so they can use them too, expect for a few of them." Work Tool said thinking about the weapons he made so far.

"I'm sure Celestia and Luna will aloud it." Twilight said.

Luna turn from them and look at her screen. She smile. Rainbow was going to make it. She just needs to give her more fate.

Rainbow roll out of the hole and felt a unpleasant sensation come back. She hear hoof-steps and try to peek down a crack to see, but it gave in and Rainbow fell down. She shook her head and stood up only to be knock in the wall by the RD-X! It horn glow ready to freeze her, but Rainbow was quicker. Her Hoof Cannon was still free and she fire an Ice Missile at it and it was frozen instead. Rainbow pull herself out of the wall and sign. She didn't get long before the RD-X began to vibrate the molecules around it, causing the ice to crack. Once it was free it flew to Rainbow ready to attack her again.

Rainbow jump over it and turn around at the same time it did. They stare each other down and charge at the same time. The RD-X try to stab it horn at Rainbow but, she side step it and threw a hoof punch.

"That for stealing my Sonic RainBoom!" Rainbow shouted and the RD-X was flung away.

It stood up as if the attack didn't hurt it at all. It fire a normal beam at Rainbow who jump over it. Rainbow land on the ground and threw a upper cut that knock it into the air. Then she span around and give it a hoof kick that knock it into the same wall she was knock into. It pull itself out and ready another ice spell.

Rainbow then knew that the X-Parasites felt no pain and fire another Ice Missile at it. Once it was frozen again Rainbow turn tail and ran! She didn't get far before it started to catch up. Running though two hall ways, the first with a breakable wall and another cover in vines, she hid behind a large wall, the RD-X walking in seconds after he hid and looking around for a moment. Amazingly, it seemed that the RD-X believed he had escaped, as it soon turned around and left the room.

That thing may be tough, but boy, what an idiot! Even Applejack will know that I'm still in here. Rainbow thought herself before the hoof-steps fade.

See it was now clear, Rainbow left room and continue to search the Sector again. It didn't take Rainbow long to follow the trail and fond a Power Bomb pack before entering a room fill with vines. Using Power Bombs, she clear the way and the Ki-Hunters-X that was tangle in them. Using her Speed Boost, she made it to the Red Eye Guard and took it down after the real Eye show.

Rainbow drop down into a room that was indeed the source of the vines. It steams to be holding a familiar statue and fire pollen from the flowers. Rainbow switch between taking put the pollen and shooting the statue. After a while the head fall off and the flowers die off. The statue then fire green beams at her. Rainbow duck under the first set, fire a few missiles then jump over the next set and fire more missiles as she landed. Rainbow watch as it started to first turn to purple then red as she attack it. After a few more missiles, it turn in a Core-X! Remembering the other Core-X's battles, Rainbow waited until the eye show and fire a missile at it and dodge the beam it fire. After a while, the core broke and Rainbow absorb the X.

"Plasma Beam Ability Recovered. Beam can now pierces emeries." Her suit told her.

Rainbow gave the beam a test fire and smile.

"WOW! This beam sure is strong! Not ever the RD-X will last against this!" Rainbow said in awe.

Rainbow work her way thought hidden rooms testing out her new Plasma Beam. Along the way, Rainbow made a little detour and find a E-Tanks for her troubles. Soon Rainbow reach the familiar rooms she been in and head for the nearest Navigation Room. Once there she contact Luna.

"Luna I fond the source and got rid of it. I even got this ready cool beam call the Plasma Beam! It goes right thought emeries and stills hurts them!" Rainbow reported.

"You have the Plasma Beam?!" Luna said in surprise, "Most unexpected. Still, you lack a few essential, natural abilities, and the RD-X may be getting stronger as well."

"Yeah, I do guess I'm missing a few abilities." Rainbow agree thinking about it.

"Hmm…? More trouble. Hold on." After another minute of silence, Luna continued, "I've isolated the cause. There's been an explosion in the ARC Data Room… Rainbow, go to Sector 5. The damage is spreading. Hurry!"

"You got it! Hurry my middle name." Rainbow said and the connection was turn off.

Rainbow rod up the elevator and down Sector 5 once again. Hearing Luna sound surprise made Rainbow guess that Luna already had one for her before she got it, then again she did say that she might get it before hand. Still something was going on with the Station and Rainbow has to find out what.
