History of Samus-Chapter 1 The Beginning **Note: I do not own any of these characters. They are the property of Nintendo.**

Long ago...

On an Earth colony known as K-2L...

A young girl was growing up...

The same girl who would, eventually, become the hero of the universe...

This girl's name... was Samus Aran...

This is her story...

"Samus? Samus? Where'd you go?", her mother called out, "It's time to eat lunch." As her mother turned to go back inside, she heard laughing coming from around the side of their house. Upon investigating, she found Samus playing with a girl, slightly younger than Samus, but they got along together perfectly. "Come on, Samus. It's time to go inside and eat dinner. You can play tomorrow. Tell your friend goodbye.", her mother said. "Goodbye, friend.", said Samus as she walked inside with her mother. "See you tomorrow."
As they were eating dinner, Samus' mother asked her who the little girl was. Samus replied with her usual "I don't know.", and kept on eating. Just as everyone was finishing, alarms suddenly started blaring. "Warning: Space Pirates approaching. Warning: Space Pirates approaching" Samus' father looked up abruptly at the alarm's warning. "Come on, we need to hide, quickly!", he said as he walked towards the secret room in the back. Just as he reached it, a new alarm went off. "Intruder alert: Space Pirates have breached the dome. Intruder alert: Space Pirates have breached the dome. Warriors will report to battle stations immediately. This is not a drill. Repeat: This is not a drill."
Samus' father looked at his wife and daughter with regret in his eyes. "Quickly, hide yourselves in the secret room. Make sure you put Samus in the extra secret place. Goodbye, my wife and daughter." Samus started to cry as she watched her father head off to his station, armed with only a basic beam weapon. "Come on, Samus.", her mother said as she walked towards the secret room. "Quickly! I have to hide you extremely well from those...those Space Pirates!" she called to Samus. Samus went into the hidden room, where her mother hid her in a special compartment that scrambled the Pirates' energy sensors.
A short while later, Samus heard screams outside her compartment, and realized that the Space Pirates had broken through. She peered through a small air hole in the compartment and saw a huge dragon thing. She thought she heard one of the Pirates call it Ridley. After listening for a while, she realized that they were leaving. They thought they had killed everyone on the colony. Samus started crying again once they were gone, for she realized she was alone, the only human on a lonely colony in space.
After she was sure the Pirates were gone, Samus let herself out of the compartment and began looking for her parents, but she was doomed to fail. The Pirates had destroyed the vast majority of the buildings, leaving little evidence that anyone had ever lived there. Samus was able to find some food, however, in a small compartment behind the compartment she had hidden in. Once she had eaten, she fell asleep, oblivious to the fact that she was being watched.
