After escaping capture from the Galactic Federation, Samus Aran's ship is shut down by the Galactic Federation. Crash landing on the nearest planet, Samus looks at this new mysterious planet. Or is it?
The ship's engine suddenly cut and Samus no longer had the ability to control her ship. She managed to stop the ship on top of a large mountain on the planet. After the ship came to a stop, Samus realized that her ship was 98 percent damaged. Samus looked at the planet and immediately scouted the neighbouring area. Non-hostile life forms were detected and a few plant-forms from other planets. Samus didn't recognise this planet and her only chance of escape was for her to repair her ship and regain complete control of it. At that point the earth shook violently causing Samus to loose her balance.
Samus: Adam! Adam!!! What is happening?
Adam: Large Seismic activity is to blame Lady. I am sensing large seismic activity north of here. I can't give you a map of this location.
Samus: Why?
Adam: … … … … …
Samus: Adam?
Adam: That is not important, but what is, is that I have detected a large amount of hazardous material in the region of the seismic activity. You must go there and find out what is causing the hazardous signal. No files on it are on my archives. Any objections, Lady?
Samus knew that any order followed by 'Any Objections, Lady?' were orders she couldn't say no to. Samus then headed off up the mountain. As she came closer to the top, she noticed that her danger meter was going berserk. At the top, she saw a large canyon and she could feel the seismic activity. Looking into the canyon, she noticed a light at the bottom. The light became bigger and brighter. Samus realized that something was coming and jumped out of the way just as a large amount of blue phazon fired out of the canyon. Samus watched as the phazon rocketed into the atmosphere, the smaller parts burning up while the larger parts were thrown into the galaxy. Samus then realized that all the planets affected by phazon meteors had resulted because of this 'volcano' of phazon. Samus then noticed that a large amount of phazon was on the planets surface and moving around the planet was going to be difficult. As Samus headed back, she was hit with a powerful blast knocking her down. Upon turning round, she noticed a shadow amongst the smoke. As she looked closer, the smoke cleared and Samus saw herself face to face with Dark Samus!
Just as Dark Samus was about to fire again, a space pod crashed nearby kicking up a dust cloud. Samus managed to read the words, 'B.S.L. ESCAPE POD' on the pod. Samus then thought that a survivor from the B.S.L. had survived and that they could regain her lost good name. Approaching the pod Samus noticed that her nemesis was intimidated by the arrival of the pod and classed it as a threat. Samus believed that her last encounter with Dark Samus had made her loose her mind. That was until out of the pod emerged the SA-X!
