I never said that Zebes reformed after being blown to dust and debris. I said that Zebes was never blown to dust and debris. The bomb exploded and reshaped Zebes into the oval shape seen at the end of the game. What was left was a solid mass, though I am sure there would be many hollowed out spots inside the planet.
Also, a story of Samus actually turning into a Metroid because of the Metroid DNA would be more realistic. The story could say that the change was not immediate because the DNA had not developed enough, but after absorbing the energy of the X, the DNA cells began to awaken, take control, and mutate Samus' body. Then in the end, if she cannot prevent the change she has to freeze herself until a cure is found.
Or perhaps another storyline could be written into that involving other Space Hunters that actually hunt for Samus by order of the Federation. She would be wanted for destroying a Federation research station, destroying SR-388, resisting arrest, treason, possessing powerful weapons that make her a threat, and having Metroid DNA that may cause her to spawn more Metroids. |
