Metroid: Lost Daughter of Remnant.

Chapter 9

Samus is blinded for a few seconds, but when the light fades, she finds the dragon unmoving. She gives it a few seconds before struggling to break free, to no avail. That's when she realizes she doesn't hear any movement aside from her own. Meaning Cinder either fled, or is incapacitated like the dragon. She's not sure what caused the blinding flash, but first she has to get out from under the dragon. She can't see anything from her current position. Well, if it's not going to move, I might as well. She recalls her powersuit with a golden gleam, making herself just small enough to wriggle her way out of the stationary claws. Once free, she summons her helmet alone, and spots Pyrrha and the likely mastermind behind the attacker unconscious, next to each other.
"PYRRHA IS STILL ALIVE, UNCONSCIOUS, BUT IS BLEEDING OUT AT AN ALARMING RATE FROM MULTIPLE MINOR FLESH WOUNDS AND A PERFORATING WOUND THROUGH HER RIGHT LUNG. HER LEFT LOWER THIGH HAS BEEN STABBED THROUGH, CHARRED BEYOND REPAIR LIKELY FROM THE SAME WEAPON THAT MADE THE WOUND. HER LEFT HEEL HAS BEEN SHOT, HER BONE HAS BEEN SPLINTERED AND ACHILLES TENDON SEVERED. PYRRHA HAS ALREADY ADRESSED THE ISSUE WITH A TOURNEQUET." Adam reports, only giving the most urgent points.
"Christ. Any ideas Adam?" Samus asks urgently. She has nothing to help fix her up. she doesn't have any medical supplies like bandages or gauze, and she can't put a torniquet over a massive chest wound.
"I DOUBT THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO I ALREADY REQUESTED MEDEVAC THROUGH LOCAL CHANNELS, HOWEVER, THE NEAREST TRANSPORT IS IN THE CITY. ALL WE CAN DO IS WAIT AND HOPE SHE SURVIVES THAT LONG." Adam says, no small amount of regret audible.
Samus looks at her left hand. "I- I think I have an idea." She mutters, allowing the pink glow to envelop it, forming claws at the tips of her fingers.
"YOU INTEND TO DO THE SAME AS THE BABY METROID?"
"Yes. I don't know if I can do it. But if I don't try, she's dead anyways."
"THAT DOES SOUND LIKE THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION."
"I know." Samus says as she walks up to the dying Pyrrha and the unconscious Cinder. She picks up the terrorist with little care and tosses her towards the center of the tower. She kneels down beside Pyrrha, not paying any mind to the blood, and holds her glowing left hand over the largest wound. "Lets hope this works Adam." She takes a deep breath and pushes down on her chest, digging her claws into her skin, causing Pyrrha to groan in pain. She focuses on how it feels to drain energy from her opponents, and tries to do the opposite. Focusing on letting the energy flow outward rather than inward.
And when her energy counter starts to go down, she lets out a sigh of relief. Not just relief, but joy. Her plan is working. Here she was using her Metroid powers to save someone. She quickly pushes those emotions aside before they can distract her. It's taking all her focus to keep injecting her energy into Pyrrha instead of draining it. It was getting harder and harder to keep her grip as well, like something was trying to push her hand away, growing stronger until with a strong pulse, Samus's hand is forced away.
Samus is left to watch in amazement as a red field around Pyrrha -specifically where Samus's hand was- fades away, Shortly afterward, Pyrrha's wounds -all of them- start to close up. "Holy shit..."
"That's... better." she says with an apprehensive shrug.
"IT IS NOT IDEAL" Yup. That's gonna suck to get healed properly. Lots of surgery at best, irreversible at worst.
"Yeah, but at least she won't bleed out." And now with Pyrrha's survival ensured, she has time to look around. Looking straight ahead, she sees an unconscious girl, no older than 16 by the looks of it, laying face-down on the floor. Samus stands up, about to check on the girl when she notices that her legs, the feathers covering her thighs, are covered in Pyrrha's blood. As is Pyrrha herself, to a much greater extent. She can't wait to take a shower after all this, but it'll have to wait until morning comes. If the attack is over, there's too much to do before she can turn in. And if it's not, then she'll have to do her part in ending it.
After she takes care of that, as well as making sure Cinder hasn't woken up, she makes her way to the unconscious girl, bringing up Adam's scan.

[Unidentified]
Human (Remnant Native) Female, 16
Subject appears to possess two anomalies. One of which is tied to her aura, likely her semblance. The other appears to be related to her bioenergy itself. Lack of injuries and strength of aura suggest that neither combat nor overexertion are the cause of her current state. Unable to ascertain the cause of her current state.
Her semblance appears to have multiple functions. The most basic of which serves to greatly enhance her natural speed. Another trait of the semblance is the ability to dematerialize self into rose petals, regardless of speed. More data regarding subject's semblance filed under Semblance-Red Girl. Unable to identify other anomaly.

So nothing about how she ended up like this. Samus sighs as she turns around. Now let's see what I can get from- She stops mid-thought. The woman who almost killed Pyrrha has gone missing. "Son of a-" she puts her hand to her forehead over her helmet. When the hell did she...? At least she wasn't stupid enough to try anything else. Silver linings.
With nothing else to do, she summons the rest of her armor, props herself against a tall piece of debris, and peruses the Logbook entries she's accumulated so far. After all, all she can do is wait for help to arrive, which it won't for another ten minutes at least, and she sure as hell isn't going to just leave these two here, defenseless.
