Metroid Prime: Dark Hunter
Chapter I - A Memory
A blue cyan breaks the darkness of space, aproaching at closures of lightspeed. A purple, four-legged space ship roams across the universe without any destination, vigilant for it's inhabitants, ever-sworn to protect them. Inside, the most renowned and sucessful bounty hunter, Samus Aran, keeps an eye for distress and urgent signals, aswell as the intergalatic GF channel for updates on the universe unfolding situations.
'It has been a few years past the events of BSL, and the consequently destruction of SR-388.' She thought. 'After being under judgement and juresdiction, and alot of talk, me and Adam managed to defend outselfs with reasoning. But they stripped me from some of my advantages that i had with the Federation.'
She alters the ship's course, in the direction of the former planet. 'Yet, my curiosity catches up, and i need to see the debris of the space station. After these years, the perimeter must be safe, and even if not, the debris no longer have enough kinetic force to pierce the ship's shields.' The route set and at full speed, Samus would take a few minutes to reach her distination, allowing her to further her thoughts.
'The SA-X. Another formidable opponent. This one even more than Dark Samus, as it had my full powered and equiped suit. It however allowed me to absorb it, and help me defeat the Omega Metroid with ease. I still wonder why.' With the destination aproaching, she lowers the ship speed.
Adam speaks. "We are reaching the destination, lady." Her eyes dart from the ship's controls to the cyan glass, to stare at the empty void. "Thank you for the information. Set the plot course to orbit the debris." She replies, as the compturized Adam does as asked. "Plot set." Samus keeps staring at the void, the closer they get, the more visible the debris from both the planet and the space station become.
'Was the X parisite really this evil? At the course of my mission, it proved to me several times over to be clever, and able to interact, using the memories and knowledge stored in the beings it absorved. It may had devolped self concious. Unfortunatly, we will never know for certain.' Samus stands, closing the gap between the glass and herself.
"Lady, what is bothering you?" Adam asks, concerned by Samus' thoughts.
"Did we really had to destroy the X parasite?" Samus asked, her head having trouble to belive in either sides anymore.
"Even if the SA-X and the parasite itself proved useful, and aware of it's own presence, the Federation would have never belived, and there would be a war where the human race had limited chances of survival. And for the best of the galaxy, heroes must many times make choices like this." Adam replied and Samus turned arround, returning to her sit.
"Like you had to, Adam?" She looks at the computer, as it shows the compurized mark of Adam's speaking. "Yes. The hardest and best choices are always the least pleasant." Samus stared for a while.
'Even though i know what Adam means, the sacrifice was still too much. It is in this times we wonder if there weren't really another choices.' She pilots the space ship herself, dodging and avoiging bigger debris, she doesn't look fo anything in particular, but just wonders.
'The SA-X, as an example, if allowed to prove itself, might have been one of the greastest assets to the universe. And with it's ability to absorb, adapt and improve, along with part of my own training, the SA-X's could have been the guardians of this and others galaixies. But i disgress. The parisite X itself is dangerous. Just as human's nature. If the parisite would come out of control, it could aswell mean the end of all life. Our choice might have been the best.' Clearing many doubts in her head, she flies outside the debris field, and resumes roaming the galaxy.
