Chapter Five: The Lure
In the Palace of Power Kevin Keene, better known in Videoland as Captain N, was on Cloud Nine. He was humming to himself as he walked the halls. Duke had stood, or walked as the case may be, with Kevin longer than the rest of the N Team, yet even he grew bored with Kevin’s self absorbed bliss. Duke finally gave up on attempting to get Kevin to pay attention to him, and was off playing games with Kid Icarus and Megaman.
“I- me-t Sa-mu-s Ara-n.” thinking to himself in a sing song tone. If one couldn’t tell, Samus was Kevin’s favorite character from Kevin’s favorite game, one could say that Samus Aran was Kevin’s hero and one wouldn’t be too far off. One could say a lot of characters were Kevin Keene’s hero and one wouldn’t be too far off. But Kevin was definitely Samus’ biggest fan. As Kevin neared his room his he thought, “I just wish I could have gotten a picture! I can still barely believe it!” His doors opened to reveal walls covered in photos of various famous Nintendo characters, many signed, and a few posters of some of his favorite places in Videoland. Kevin shrugged out of his letterman jacket and fell onto his bed, grinning to himself as he replayed the events of the day over in his head, again, for, well, the n^th time. He hadn’t really stopped replaying the events, truth be told, he’d been looping from beginning to end nearly continuously since before they’d left Ninja World.
“She’s even more beautiful in person.” Kevin thought to himself, his grin getting somewhat less happy and somewhat more stupid. “She wasn’t wearing her hair down, like in the game, I wonder how long it is? I can’t believe her hair is blonde! It always looked sort of brown. But that doesn’t matter now, I saw her in all her real, live, three-dimensional glory. Why did I never realize it before, she is a goddess!” went Kevin’s thoughts. Kevin’s hand had wandered down his body during these thoughts, and begun stroking his erection through his pants. He’d been somewhat hard ever since he’d seen Samus’ face, and realized who she was, but had been trying desperately to hide it. It always made him feel so awkward and out of place whenever that happened, and most of the time it wasn’t even over something that could be considered sexy. It just happened. But this time was nearly a million times worse than all the others, as it wasn’t an accident it was nearly impossible to get rid of. As much as he was embarrassed to admit being turned on by a video character, Samus had turned him on. “Her eyes were so fierce!” he thought to himself. Thinking of their fight now, knowing who he’d been fighting, was nearly torture. He stroked his erection through his pants, wondering if he had the time to be alone for a little while.
The loud wailing of the alarm system sounded throughout the Palace of Power.
“Another emergency… I hope this doesn’t mean things are going to get worse.” Kevin thought as he stood up from his bed, trying to think unsexy thoughts in an effort to regain proper co-ordination. Kevin began jogging toward the Throne-slash-Operations Room, hoping this was a minor emergency, as sometimes happened. When he finally arrived it was clear that something had the N Team in a state of surprise, but not fear. “Oh good, this probably won’t take long at all” he thought as he came up to the viewing area.
“Hey guys, what’s the problem this time?” Kevin asked in his ever cheerful manner. Duke barked and ran over to Kevin, receiving an absentminded pat by his master. Lana looked rather unhappy, Simon seemed to be offended, and Kid Icarus and Megaman seemed dumbfounded. The cause seemed to be the power suited humanoid standing with them. Samus turned her head as Kevin approached and said.
“You owe me for that bounty I had to report, Captain N. I was just explaining to the rest of the N Team that it’s lucky that I managed to find another bounty so quickly, so we can finish this up nice and neat.” Samus’ voice issued out of the suit’s external speakers. Kevin almost had trouble recognizing her at first, her power suit looked totally different in three dimensions, the only similarities to the game were its color scheme and large shoulder armor. Kevin seemed surprised, was that what she’d meant when she’d left? He’d been too distracted to really think about it.
“Oh. Well. What kind of bounty?” Kevin said, with some trepidation.
“Exactly my point, Kevin, I was just talking to Space Hunter Samus about that. Space Bounties are even more dangerous than our usual missions, and hardly important enough to take away Captain N from his duties as defender of Videoland.” Lana said, she clearly did not think very highly of taking rewards for helping those that needed it.
“And I was trying to explain how important this mission is, this isn’t a bounty I picked up so I could get upgrades. This is issued from the Galactic Police for a serious problem, Captain N. Space Pirates. This band that they need taken down has destroyed many, many other “bounty”,” Samus gave Lana a look as she said the word, although what kind of look was hidden by her helmet, “ hunters as well as being suspected of taking down two other Elites. These Pirates have been attacking critical trade routes in the Galactic Empire, disrupting the economy of not just the Galactic Empire, but also of Videoland. My home zone is one of the main suppliers of raw, safe, fuel to Videoland. Without this fuel many other zones would run out of power or disappear altogether.” Samus said. She looked from Kevin back to Lana, clearly waiting for a response.
“Well, I don’t see what the problem is, Princess! This seems pretty straight forward to me, I mean, I can’t pick and choose who I defend, you know? I’m the defender of Videoland!” Kevin said. Lana looked down and sighed.
“You’re right, of course, Kevin.” Lana said, but it was obvious she was still worried. “These Space Bounties are a serious danger Kevin. Please be careful.” She added, even though she knew he wouldn’t really listen.
“Yeah, of course Princess!” Kevin said. Kevin turned to Samus and asked as cheerfully as possible, “So where to?” Samus jerked her head in a motion to indicate that Kevin should follow her and turned around and began walking out the main entrance from the Throne Room.
“This way.” Samus said. Kevin hurried after, and turned to wave at his friends as he left.
“Bye guys, I’ll be back quick as I can. Don’t worry!” Kevin said to them. Duke woofed and followed Kevin, excited to be on an adventure. Still walking, Samus turned to Kevin and said,
“It isn’t a good idea to bring him along, if there’s an emergency while we’re in space I don’t have dog sized space suits.” Samus didn’t mind dogs, but what she said was the truth. If the worst happened, as it always seemed to, then there’d be no escape for Duke. Kevin looked disappointed, Duke gave a few pathetic whines and looked down trodden. “Sorry boy, I’m only speaking the truth.” Samus said to Duke. Kevin realized this too, and stopped a moment to give Duke a hug.
“Sorry Duke, but you’re my best bud! I can’t let anything happen to you!” Kevin said, “Go back and stay with the N Team. Keep the rest of Videoland safe for me while I’m away!” Kevin told him. Duke perked up at being given a task. He posed bravely and woofed, then turned and ran back for the Throne Room.
“I’m sorry Captain N, I know how important pets can be.” Samus said, recalling fondly her own pet, the only other survivor of the massacre of her home colony.
“It’s ok Samus. I understand, I’d never forgive myself if I let something happen to Duke.” Kevin said. Samus stopped walking, just outside the Palace Grounds. Kevin looked around in confusion. “Huh, what’s here?” He asked. Samus gave the command to her ship to de-cloak. Kevin looked stunned.
“W-h-o-a-h.” He said, “a cloaking device!”
“I thought you knew everything about me from this “Metroid” game.” Samus said, amused.
“Well, everything that was in it! You didn’t have a ship you could play in the game, you know. It all took place on one planet-asteroid-thing.” Kevin said, defensive. Samus seemed to nod as if she understood exactly what he meant. It was obvious Metroids were involved, but she’d been hunting Metroids, or been trained to hunt them, nearly all her life. It could really have been any of her missions.
As they boarded her ship Kevin suddenly remembered the planet’s name.
“Zebes!” Kevin said, excited.
“Zebes…” Samus said, “I thought I’d gotten Mother that time. She was small time back then, leader of a group of Space Pirates. The self-destruct activated, but she survived somehow.” Samus didn’t sound fond recalling what she felt of as a failure. One hundred percent success rate or not, Mother Brain’s escape was the worst thing that could have happened.
Samus ordered the ship to depart for the Galactic Federation’s Zone and headed for the Lounge Area.
“… Mother…?” Kevin asked cautiously. He’d only ever heard Mother Brain’s minions call her that. Samus sighed, and pulled off her helmet.
“It’s… complicated.” She said as they reached the Lounge. “Mother… Brain wasn’t always evil and twisted.”
“What? That’s hard to believe.” Kevin said. Samus gestured to the table.
“Take a seat.” Samus said as she pulled out a chair for herself. She sat her helmet on the table and ordered drinks and dinner to be sent in. Kevin pulled up a chair, looking at Samus strangely. “I call her Mother out of habit, Captain, because I was raised on Zebes. Mother was built by the original inhabitants of Zebes, as their guardian. She was corrupted by the Metroids, and started guarding them instead.” Samus sighed, hating to relate even such a short story of her past.
“Man… no way. ” Kevin said, stunned. Mother Brain, protector of anything? Mother Brain, having helped to raise Samus? It was a lot to take in and the mood was heavy.
“Sooo, what’s this bounty we’re goin’ after?” Kevin said, trying to change the subject. “Space Pirates, I know, but, like, what kind?” Samus ordered the data on the viewscreen on the table.
“They seemed pretty standard fair at first, but they got luck. They managed to capture a Galactic Federation Supply ship carrying weapons to an outpost. With this they were able to become enough of a threat that their bounty had to be removed and placed up as a Galactic Federation Warrant.” Samus said. At Kevin’s confusion as to what exactly that meant, she clarified “Only members of the Elite Hunter’s Guild can take Galactic Federation Warrants, two of them tried already.”
“So, this is gonna be exciting then, huh?” Kevin said. Samus laughed.
“Something like that. Better than anything in your games, at any rate.” She said. The service droid arrived with drinks, Samus picked up a mug off of it as it hovered by and took a swig.
“That’s pretty cool! I haven’t seen many robots in Videoland! Well, except in Megaland of course. “ Kevin said as the droid hovered next to him.
“Unit is a service M-Class droid. Please select beverage.” the unit said in a bland, generic voice. Kevin picked up a glass of soda and took a sip.
“You fight pretty well, Captain N.” Samus said, “Most un-augmented humans can’t keep up with me.”
“Yeah,” Kevin said, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. “I think it has something to do with The Ultimate Warp Zone and how it brought me here. It gave me my Power Pad and The Zapper.”
“I suppose being summoned to every end of Videoland to fight doesn’t hurt it either.” Samus said.
“Yeah, it can be pretty tough sometimes. There’ve been a few days we hardly got any time to sleep!” Kevin said, taking another sip of his soda. “It was nuts.”
“Haha, yeah I’ve had days like that. It’s tough fighting on no sleep.” Samus said in agreement, remembering almost fondly long hunts in deep space. “But it sure makes the rest all the more relaxing, eh?” She raised her mug to Kevin and winked.
“Yeah, man. It’s great finally bein’ able to sleep.” Kevin said, oblivious to what Samus was really saying. Samus snickered at his comment.
“That wasn’t sleep I was interrupting, Captain.” She said playfully. Kevin’s eye widened and he sputtered for a few moments in shock. He hadn’t been expecting this sort of banter from any character in Videoland, much less such a beautiful woman. Samus took a swig of her drink to hide her amusement.
“Wh-what do you mean?” Kevin finally managed to choke out. Embarrassed more at the idea that Samus somehow knew he was fantasizing about her than at the idea that Samus might know exactly what he’d been doing.
“Must be something else they left out of your game.” Samus said, doing her best to keep a straight face.
“Hey, hey, you’re just pullin my leg!” Kevin said, relieved that she didn’t actually know. Samus grinned and tapped her helmet.
“Thermal readings don’t lie, Captain. If you were sleeping, I’m a Space Pirate.” She said. Kevin blushed and sunk down in his seat. She hadn’t been pulling his leg… she knew he’d been aroused by his body heat.
“Hey, what are you so embarrassed about.” She said seriously, but she couldn’t resist the pun.“I’m just giving you a hard time.” Kevin groaned and sunk his head on the table.
“You must think I’m some kind of pervert.” He said from is sunken position. Samus snorted and made a dismissive gesture.
“I woulda thought you’d be used to the teasing.” She said. Kevin shook his head, not bothering to raise it from the table.
“No one on the N-Team ever talks about that stuff, at least not around me.” He said, the picture of gloom and embarrassment. Samus set her mug down and leaned over towards Kevin.
“Hey, cheer up, I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.” She said, placing a hand on his back. “if it makes you that uncomfortable I won’t tease you like that again, ok?” Kevin looked up.
“It’s not that.” He said, “It’s just… it uh…” he had no idea how to tell her that what was embarrassing was that she could see it every time his body decided to get aroused. It was hard enough ignoring it when he was with the rest of the N-Team, but being with Samus… he didn’t know if he’d ever calm down completely. And she could see. Every time it happened. “I’m… a guy?”
Samus raised her eyebrow, and seemed to look him over. “You look like more than that to me.” She said, “You fight better than just a guy too.”
“That’s, that’s not what I meant. I mean, I’m a guy. And you’re a girl, a beautiful girl, and… and…” Kevin raised himself back up to a sitting position, trying to communicate with his hands the monumental importance of these two facts. And even more, their relevance to the current situation.
“Are you embarrassed you get aroused?” she said, that seemed to be where he was going, but she was still somewhat confused. She might not have been raised by humans, but she wasn’t ignorant of biology. Human males, especially Kevin’s age, nearly always got erections, it was life.“Why? It happens. It’s not like it’s a big deal.”
“What?” Kevin said. Blinking in confusion, not a big deal? “But, you’ll think I’m a pervert or something! I,I just get… that way and sometimes… it doesn’t go away… and you can see it!” Why couldn’t she understand why this was a problem? It had always been an issue, and she didn’t seem to know.
Samus leaned forward so that their noses were practically touching.
“Kevin. Listen. To. Me.” She said, articulating every word. With her hand still on his back he couldn’t reasonably get away, so he sort of had to listen, or hear, at any rate. “I am not going to think you are a “pervert or something” just because you’re human, male and eighteen. Understand.” Kevin squirmed a little bit. Samus’ fingers twitched, Kevin flinched. She took a deep breath and tried again, deciding since straightforward wasn’t working on him, bludgeoning him over the head was the way to go. “I like you. You’re confident, strong, and think on your feet. I’m not going to get mad because you’re aroused, I’m not going to hurt you because you’re aroused by me. I like you. I like that you get turned on thinking about me. It’s nice. So calm down and get over it.” Samus said.
Kevin sat, dumbfounded. He thought to himself, “She… likes me. She likes that I…” Kevin smiled somewhat doofily. “Does that mean I can kiss you now?” he said. Samus stood up and slapped his back in a friendly manner.
“When you can kiss me is when you don’t have to ask.” Samus said, smiling.
