There’s Always Another Mission
When Metroid Dread got announced a while back I was really excited being a big Metroid fan so I decided to write a fan poem about the Metroid series. The poem is told from the POV of Samus Aran. Like I've said previously I'm posting from a big, expanding backlog so that includes going back to fan poems like this and posting them till I eventually catch up to the now regarding my writing and everything.

There's Always Another Mission
By: A.X. Bueno
Another mission awaits me after an odd number of years
I should have expected as much
Metroids and evil beings trying to destroy me just don't stay dead I fear
Of course this threat is new
A killer robot that fills me with dread
It doesn't seem to want to go down no matter how many missiles it takes to the head
It's just another foe that I only I can really do is run and hide away from
However with new tricks and my arm cannon over my sleeve I'll be sure to not succumb
It wouldn't be the first stalking enemy I've faced before so by all means let it come
I earned my reputation for a reason
6 foot 3 of entrusted bounty hunter wrapped in my powerful and upgradable bio armor
Called the protector of the galaxy the galaxy's need for protection never ends
There's always some space pirate or some big monster that with my charge beam I have to rend
When the Galactic Federation needs someone for those tough jobs they hire me
Genetically engineered by the Chozo and with an impressive expanding arsenal as well as my sleek ship
It's an easy choice to go with I'm sure you can see
I don't mean to brag too hard or anything in fact I prefer to stay silent
Letting my actions and visored face speak for themselves when I need to defend or get violent
In the end I'm glad the amount of missions I need to do will never hit zero
Regardless of whatever horror from space comes my way even if it was Ridley yet again
I'm always happily ready to continue and do the missions thought impossible by men
