Metroid Prime Ascension

Prologue: An Ascended One

Author: Yes another fan fiction... I have recently gotten back into Metroid Prime series again (Don't yell at me, this is the first Metroid game(s) I was introduced to). I have also gotten an unhealthy obsession for Ridley and am disappointed that there isn't much RidleyxSamus or RidleyxOc on FFN... so I'll add on to that list =D

Disclaimer: I do not own the Metroid games nor the characters that live within them. I only own my Oc and the plot to this fan fiction.

A new [Chozo Lore] entry has been downloaded to your Log Book. Chozo script translated.

It has come to our attention that the Hatchling is not the only one of her kind that we have seen. In our years we have seen another, one that seems to bring Change. We are not sure what this new Change is, but it is tied with another threat we have realized coming soon into the Newborn's life. But the tide between Light and Dark for this Change is blurry, the two intertwine too well to tell if it is a separate entity or not.

This was one of the first of many odd Chozo writings that Samus was going to be exposed to on her travels. She was a bit perplexed as well as concerned on what the ancient bird people were talking about. She didn't doubt them, no they were wise and their predictions always came true in the end, just like what happened on Tallon IV. She defeated the Great Poison, the Worm that was known as Metroid Prime to the Space Pirates. Now there was these writings that tell of something else coming, she could only wonder if it meant another prophecy she was meant to fulfill.

It always seemed to come this way, she would go for a bounty or be going towards some destination and then fate came calling back and leading to another dangerous mission she had to fulfill. But she didn't mind it too much, she had to keep the legacy to the Chozo and to do that she had to bring peace to the galaxy, which was easier said than done. Still, she had to do it because there was no other; she was the only one who could do what the Chozo... her family asked of her.

Whatever the case she continued on her exploration, searching for clues on her target as well as keeping an eye out for any Chozo lore that was probably around on this planet. Sure enough she came across one, scanned it and read what it said to herself.

We can see it now, the one who will give Change to us. She bears the power of Light, master of the elements of all nature. We have seen that when she descends upon us it will be when the worlds become off balance and each world is covered in darkness. She will come upon us onto the world where we first encountered the Worm and her light will blind the darkness away.

Another interesting tidbit from the Chozo, but they talk about things that she had never heard before. She wondered how long it was to be before this happened. She had to go and look for more clues before she could make any sort of conclusion to this puzzle she had been tasked with... along with collecting her bounty and such.

We sense Corruption within the Light. She who we have dubbed the Ascended One has corruption within her, within her Light. She has fallen to it on multiple occasions and if it is exposed to her mind and soul any longer she will fall, never to return to again. We can only hope that the Newborn is able to help her dispel this Corruption, to give her the added Light that she needs.

Again they were putting on their faith in her. She was being tasked with helping this 'Ascended One', to help her from being Corrupted. It made her wonder what they meant... was it the Phazon that she has encountered? Or maybe it was something else. But to her, Phazon was the best bet considering she seems to have been scheduled to land on Tallon IV.

While exploring more and getting closer and closer to her objective Samus was keeping one eye open for more Chozo writings. She made sure to backtrack and recheck places she had been before moving on. When she was coming to the end of her quest, she ran into another section of lore for her to decipher.

Another vision, much the same like the others we have encountered about the Ascended One. But we gain new knowledge with every sight. We see her bearing a symbol. Upon her body shall be an arch with one end in the likeness of a wing while the other consists of the tip end being in a triangular shape while in the middle a keyhole is placed. We have yet to know what this means, but we hope to find out as time goes on.

Samus thought this was interesting. So all she had to do was looking for a human on Tallon IV with that sort of description somewhere on her body. But still wasn't sure when she was supposed to see this individual. She decided that once the bounty was done she could come back and look for more clues, right now she had someone to bring into the Galactic Federation.

It wasn't that hard to find where the scumbag was hiding and before long she had beat him up and hauled his ass towards her ship where she would take him to get turned in. But after putting him in the ship, something caught the corner of her eye, causing her to turn around and scan the area once more. What she realized was that there was a little crack in the wall that could be destroyed using her Morph Ball bomb.

Going through the newly made hole, Samus used her Morph Ball to go through a series of tunnels. When she arrived she got out of the Morph Ball only to see a wall with Chozo lore along with the symbol that was described as being on the 'Ascended One'. But like all lore Samus just used her visor to translate what the Chozo people wanted to be known.

In 120 moons after the Hatchling defeats the Worm is when the Corruption will come upon us. It's power will be overwhelming and will attempt to overthrow the Ascended One's Light and then spread it's Corruption. The new Corruption that comes with her spells to consume her if she is not ready to fight. She will need to be helped by the two individuals that she becomes closest to. We are unsure who they are, but we hope that Samus, the Newborn, is one of them. We will leave a shrine for the coming of the Ascended One along with the prophecy in which we have pieced together over the years. We pray that she will be in good hands when she comes upon us.

After that, the lore was all gone, taken all from this plant that Samus had been going through. She had almost all her information that she would need to find this person and protect her. She didn't like the fact that she might have to get close, become friends, with some female she didn't even know and may not even like. But she didn't have much choice, if nothing else when she finds her she could just take her to the Federation HQ so she could be prepared for whatever it was... with Samus' guidance of course. It would be better than if the Space Pirates found her and this prophecy at the shrine... if they did then the female would be susceptible to be kidnapped and used by them, something she could not allow.

Going back to her ship Samus got herself comfortable before piloting her ship away from the planet and towards the Galactic Federation HQ to drop off her bounty and get her reward. Once there she planned to get some supplies before heading out while preparing for what this boded for while doing some other bounties and keeping her personal missions a secret to all. She just prayed that she will be able to find this female before 120 days passed.

Author: Well yea... I started another freaking fan fiction owo. I'm taking a small break from my Rango series and taking a new one for the moment. Anyway I hope you all don't mind this new story, it's just been on my mind lately and you all know my habits by now. I think I'm going to make this Metroid Universe AU a little bit, alter some things maybe. But that's still in the works. Anyway I hope you all will enjoy this fan fiction while it goes along.
