Publication History[]
Plot Summary[]
Kevin Keene, Princess Lana, and Kid Icarus are seen overlooking Zebes via a cliff. Samus jumps down behind them, defending them from hordes of enemies and saying that Zebes is no place for weaklings. Lana makes several positive remarks about Samus, until she reacts in shock when she finds out that Samus is a woman.
The group teams up and makes a plan to destroy the Zeebetite that is being shipped to Mother Brain on Metroid. They enter the Fire-Sea in Norfair and Samus is attacked by a swarm of Gamets. Kevin destroys them, but they drained Samus's armor of Energy, and she has about a minute before it explodes. Kevin jumps to a platform containing an Energy Tank (as he played Metroid several times before), grabs it and gives it to Samus, fully restoring her energy.
Samus and the others manage to get to the Zeebetite, but only Samus' Missile will destroy it. Mother Brain then promises Samus that if she lets the Zeebetite go and turns over the N Team, that she will receive all of Mother Brain's money. Samus complies, on the condition that she can keep Kevin.
Later, Lana and Kid Icarus are trapped on the shuttle carrying the Zeebetite to Metroid, feeling betrayed. Kid Icarus tries to attack the guards piloting the ship, but it turns out that they are in fact Kevin and Samus. Samus remarks that she may be greedy, but is not stupid.
