A purple ship zoomed through space with two wing like protrusions in the rear with almost block-like structures vertically at the end of the wings and a hawk beak-like curve to the front. In the pilot's seat was an armored figure in red, orange, yellow, and white armor with green glowing lines and visor.

"WE ARE APPROACHING THE PLANET IN THE UNKNOWN GALAXY. HUMANS ARE DETECTED ON SAID PLANET." A deep, robotic voice of ADAM-the ship's computer made from the mind of her former commander and friend, Adam Malkovich, said as they approached the green and blue planet.

This was news to the armored figure. They were far away from the Galactic Federation territories, and with the events of Planet ZDR, the figure needed a vacation. The figure's helmet de-materialized and revealed the face of a beautiful woman with long platinum blonde hair in a ponytail and intense deep blue eyes.  Her armored fingers put inputs on a holographic screen and the ship disappeared onto the planet's surface.

This world......was strange. The most prevalent safety officials were called "Heroes", like in comic books. However, it was an actual profession. They even had a popularity rating which affected their pay.

This was why she preferred her job as a galactic bounty hunter. Go in, do the job, get payed. No popularity polls affecting her paycheck. Having checked out the area after hiding her gunship, she found that she was in an island nation known as Japan. Thankfully, in green cargo pants and a greenish gray jacket over her Zero Suit, her looks attracted very little attention except perverts ogling her. Most of the population of humans developed some kind of powers called "quirks". This also affected the physicality of people so they almost looked alien.

Thankfully her upbringing with the alien Chozo and her encounters with other species kept her from staring.

Seeing families roaming nearly carefree, she clenched her right hand. Her DNA was a mishmash of Chozo, Human, and Metroid. Could she even have children? Who would carry on her legacy of protecting the galaxy after she was gone? What if the X-Parasite showed up again? A Federation team couldn't even handle Planet SR388 when the Metroids were around! Or what if another Phazon incident happened? Or Ridley somehow came back....again. Her aging may be slowed by the Chozo DNA, but she wasn't immortal.

Making up her mind, she entered one of the buildings; a local hospital.

(One Year Later)

Samus Aran arrived in her gunship carrying a pink blanket bundle with a tuft of green hair poking out from it. It turns out she WAS still able to have children despite her hybrid DNA....but it was extremely difficult-nearly impossible without professional artificial insemination and monitoring during her pregnancy. Little Inko Aran opened her emerald eyes and gazed at her mother before crying loudly. 

Inko was a very fussy baby, needing to be fed or changed often. Yet, Samus smiled as she started feeding her daughter. With Inko, the legacy of the Chozo would live on.

"SO YOU ARE ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN WITH ASSISTANCE. THIS IS REASSURING TO HEAR." The mechanical voice of ADAM droned from the gunship's computer. "I SEE YOU WERE PLANNING OUT FOR FUTURE INCIDENTS LONG AFTER YOU ARE GONE."

"I'm not going to force her into this lifestyle...but should the need arise there will be someone able to stand up to any threats the galaxy will face." Samus said as she held her daughter close as the infant fed.

"COPIES OF YOUR ABILITIES HAVE BEEN STORED WITHIN THE SHIP, DNA LOCKED FOR THAT NEED." ADAM droned before going silent, leaving Samus alone with her thoughts and daughter.

(MANY YEARS LATER)

Inko Midoriya cried as she held her Quirkless son, Izuku Midoriya, close as he asked if he could be a hero without a Quirk. It was not that she doubted her son, it was just that a lot had happened that day. Hisashi had basically abandoned them upon learning his son's diagnosis-she was sure she would be getting divorce papers soon from him. She knew how the 20% were treated; especially in Japan who had the lowest Quirkless population rating. She had been lucky to have a weak Quirk with the Attraction of Small Objects-allowing her to work as a nurse...but being Quirkless basically denied the person from most careers except the ones with the highest death rates with the lowest pay.

She knew from her mother that they had Alien DNA within them, but he would be isolated from most of his peers....wait...an idea formed in Inko's mind.

"Izuku, sweetie. There is someone who can help you, but it will be difficult." Inko said as she stroked her son's fluffy green hair, "I won't blame you if you..."

"I'll do it!" Little Izuku said, as All Might's signature laugh came from the computer in front of them, "I want to be like All Might! Someone who saves people with a smile on his face! I will put in any work to do so!" Inko smiled at her son. Despite being only 4 years old, he was driven more than even some of her coworkers.

With that, Inko pulled out a special phone given to her and pressed a button. "Hello, mom? Your grandson would like to learn."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days later, Inko lead Izuku to an opening in a forest where a purple spaceship was landing. Izuku was all but bouncing in place while holding her hand. Izuku was a hero nut, but he was also excited to see a family member since his father disappeared. A circular structure opened on the bottom as it landed and an orange armored figure without a helmet dropped. Izuku's eyes widened.

"My grandmother is THE HUNTER?!" Izuku gushed, making Samus's eyes lock onto him, "Oh my gosh! The one who captures rogue heroes! She has the highest success rate!"

"I see my reputation on this planet proceeds me with my grandson." Samus said as she walked over and put her armored hand on Izuku's hair. "Listen hatchling. Training with me will be tough.  We have a duty not only to this planet, but the galaxy itself. Someone who will go through any foe, surpass any obstacle, and will put the greater good over their own desires."

"I will do anything to be a hero like you!" Izuku said as he bounced in place, making Samus blink before a small smile spread on her face. She had never really been called a hero-even among the Hero Public Safety Commission. She always called a Bounty Hunter. It was why she chose her public name to be the very title she was called by the Space Pirates.  She took little Izuku's hand and gazed at her daughter. Inko was teary-eyed, but smiling warmly at them.

A light beamed down from the opening of the ship and Samus placed Izuku under it and the boy cheered loudly as he was seemingly sucked into her Gunship. Samus walked over to Inko and put a hand on her daughter's shoulder. "Chozo nulis ispi. Mathroid hadar nulis."

Inko's eyes widened in realization. Part of the alien DNA was a species known as the Chozo, the race Samus was raised by after her parents were killed by Space Pirates. By saying "Chozo within body",  she was recognizing Izuku as family. Her mother had spoken those words before to her. Also, by saying "Metroid power within", Inko knew Samus would try to awaken the slumbering abilities of the aliens known as Metroids.

Samus turned and waved as she walked back to the ship and was beamed up, with the purple gunship raising and disappearing into the sky. If Inko did not have her job at the hospital as a nurse; if she wasn't needed there, she herself would have followed her son.

Yet, as Samus taught her, the needs of the many outweigh her own.
