Disclaimer: I do not own Metroid Prime 2 Echoes or any of the alien creatures found in the game. Read it the first time please.
Author's Note: To those who read my last Metroid story before I took it down: I only did that to retool it a bit. I know this idea might not be original, but I can try, right? Anyway, R&R please.

Gramkel's Life
Chapter 1- The Beginnings
An explosion. From the ball of fire emerged two adults walking with a child. The two were obviously parents. The child could not have been more than two years old.
The explosion had happened when the family's ship had crash-landed on the planet, just as many before it. However, the family had been shot down, and by the Galactic Federation. Their ship was mistaken for a Pirate Frigate by one of the younger GFed troopers, and was bombarded by heavy weapons fire.
As the family walked across the planet, they noticed a large alien structure. As they approached though, they were attacked by a swarm of creatures. The creatures were a dark blue in structure, but their eyes shone of red and yellow.
The creatures beheaded the mother and father, but before they could attack the child, something came from the temple and destroyed them. More aliens appeared, but they were different. These aliens stood on two legs, had three fingers, and were clad in armor. One of them glided towards the crying child and picked him up. In an alien tongue, he said "Do not fear, child, you are safe now." The child stopped crying and fell asleep. The beings took the child into the temple and raised him as one of their own. Once he learned to speak, he told them that he had always been called Gramkel, but he could not remember anything that had happened to his parents.
As the years progressed, Gramkel learned the creatures' tongue, and that they were called the Luminoth. The one who had picked him up was U-Mos. Although, they treated him as one of their own, Gramkel had established a stronger bond with U-Mos than any of the others.
Unbeknownst to Gramkel, however, U-Mos had wiped his memory of his parent's death to keep him from experiencing the pain of death for the rest of his life.
When Gramkel came of age, however, he learned of the ongoing war with "the Ing" as the Luminoth called them. Although he wished to join the battle, U-Mos forbade it, saying that he wished for Gramkel to stay by his side. As time passed, Gramkel became more and more suspicius of whether U-Mos was hiding something from him or not.
