This is my first story; it is basically a story after Metroid Prime 3 that tells of Samus return to Tallon IV, suspecting something. I will be referring a lot to the places of Metroid Prime. I know my grammar could be better and that the first chapter is not so exciting, but please, enjoy!

The seed

Chapter one: Return to Tallon Overworld

Samus lowered her ship, planning to land on Tallon Overworld just like the first time she had set her foot on this planet. As she emerged from her ship, she noticed everything was just as she had left it many months ago, it was raining, and the beautiful nature was still intact.
Nothing looked suspicious, but the bounty hunter knew that something was not right. After realizing something critical, she had rushed for Tallon IV. The mission that had started when she first landed here was not over yet. She had a task. A feeling. A suspicion.

The galactic federation had not touched the planet at her request after the Phazon disaster, knowing that the Pirates and the Phazon was gone for good. Samus had still returned though, and she was not even sure why, but there was something that drew her back to the planet. Why had she gone back here? There was no reason, except for watching old memories. Did she just want to pay the Chozo her respects, or was there something else? Then, as she began to doubt her reasons, she heard a faint roar and she glanced around, taking battle position. In the mist and rain, she was sure she saw something, heading for the pirates sunken ship. She quickly followed, rolling through the tunnels to get to the landing site.
As she emerged from the tunnels, and came out of her morph ball mode, she saw something dissappearing in the distance, something big. After some consideration, she ducked into the water, and headed for the sunken Pirate star ship.

As she entered the ship, she saw nothing suspicious, the bounty hunter still didn't feel safe though, so she went through the waterfilled rooms, kicking away Space Pirate bodies. The whole ship was suprisingly abandoned, and she couldn't find one living creature inside, not even the primitive monsters she had to fight last time she was here. After searching the whole place, she came out on the other side of Tallon overworld. As she continued to walk, she noticed the portal to Phazon mines. This was the first elevator she had taken to Phazon mines, and she remembered all the fear and suffering inside the mine. As a thought struck her, she decided to check the place to see if everything was gone. Because strangely, she didn't think so. As she entered the elevator room, a creature was watching her from the shadows.

Please review this! But keep in mind that I don't accept flaming. The only thing that's not true to the game is how Samus could get through the areas without Wavebeam and Gravity suit, please ignore this detail. Anyway, it will sure get more exciting and interesting. Next chapter= Phazon mines.
