The signal is received
From the Galactic Federation
The small ship is flown
To its location
A meeting occurs
Led by Admiral Dane
Including four bounty hunters
Their mission: insane
To clear a computer virus
From several super computers
A shape shifter, an ice-wielder
A cyberneticist, a shooter
Deployed to Norion
After a space pirate attack
There's no retreating now
There's no going back
Heading for the planet
Is a Phazon asteroid
Something that the hunters
Must prepare to avoid
The base's defense systems
Are almost in reach
But so suddenly, so swiftly
The walls are breached
A figure so dark
Chilling down to the bone
A mere copy of Samus
Her own evil clone
Knocking three hunters out
And wounding the last
The villain had won
Using only one blast
The menace flees the base
After committing the crime
But the shields are activated
Just in time
The last hunter struggles
With a pain she can't withhold
And falls to the ground
Only to be knocked out cold
After one month's pass
She awakes quite disrupted
Altered by phazon
Condition: corrupted
Her life almost ended
It was lying on thin ice
But it will now be protected
By the Phazon Enhancement Device
The equipment is new
Known as a P-E-D
And allows her to harness
The Phazon energy
On their missions
The three others disappeared
Something that wasn't expected
But was highly feared
This bounty hunter
Now received a new quest
It would be challenging
And put her to the test
She was to find
Her missing allies
To see if they were dead
Or still alive
After heading to two planets
Elysia and Bryyo
She learned of new information
That was crucial to know
A threat was growing
At a rapid speed
Corrupting the planets
Caused by Leviathan Seeds
Orders are given
That she must obey
To destroy the seeds
It's the only way
On her long mission
She encounters her comrades
But something along the way
Must have gone bad
All three of her companions
Were acting strange
They were infected with Phazon
Which caused a major change
Each of them attacked
And acted so corrupt
Their actions were evil
And extremely abrupt
Forced to stop them
She fought each friend
She had to bring their crimes
To an end
She felt distraught
Upon witnessing their death
And felt a small feeling of regret
With every breath
She was now full of tension
Felling distressed and irate
For her counterpart
She felt nothing but hate
Continuing the mission
She stopped more assaults
Refusing herself
To think of her faults
Her journey was nearly over
As she arrived at planet Phaaze
The source of the Phazon
Would soon be ablaze
She destroyed only evil
As she explored
Finally headed
To the planet's core
She prepared to battle
She prepared for a fight
As the duel was upon her
Just within sight
Finding her opponent
The battle had begun
Both fighting hard
One on one
Almost identically experienced
The two were equally skilled
Until the moment came
When one was killed
The clone was destroyed
It was finally done for
Aurora Unit 313
Was also no more
Planet Phaaze was demolished
The hunter had won
Her long, perilous journey
Was now completed and done
Sorry for the weird spacing, I couldn't figure out how to double space between the stanzas (which are 4 lines each). Anyway, coming up with rhymes for this poem was not easy; the Metroid series really has a strange⦠vocabulary (species names and such) and because of that, the syllable count for the stanzas are all messed up so it's not as smooth as I would like it to be, but I tried.
