Metroid V: The Last X
Author's Notes: Well, here's the first real chapter. Please review!
Chapter 1: Unwelcome News
I was pretty deep in my thoughts when I was snapped out of them by a
computerized voice. "Samus, is something the matter?" asked the computerized
voice of Adam, the ship's computer.
"... No, just wondering about something," I muttered. I then opened a bottle
of water, and took a sip from it. Just then, something startled me. I heard a few
footsteps. Faintly, but I heard them. Grabbing my emergency pistol, I shouted out
"Who's there??".
Just as I turned around, I saw a heavily robed figure. So heavily robed that
I couldn't even tell what species this person was. "Lower your weapon. I am of
no harm... Samus Aran," said the robed figure.
"Wait a minute... how do you know my name?" I asked. I lowered my weapon,
because deep down, I felt that I could trust this person. The robed being seemed
somehow... familiar.
"I merely come here bringing news, Samus Aran. Your eradication of the X
scourge was not completely successful," said the robed being, still calm.
"What!! The X arent dead?! I sent them to their doom with the BSL station!" I
yelled, concerned. Just then, images I had never seen before flooded my mind.
The first image was of the BSL remnants on the rocky surface of SR388. It
seemed dead enough, but something caught my attention that revived a horror deep in
my heart. This horror was a little blue blob, floating away from the BSL crash site.
"SA-X..." I growled under my breath.
This next image disturbed me even more. It was a group of several SA-Xs shooting
at... me. To me, this looked like an assassination attempt, seeing as I was the sole being
left in the universe that could stop an SA-X. "This image is 10 years from now. My visions
tell me that then, you will have a young daughter, and these SA-Xs will try to murder you and
her. She will escape safely, but..." said the figure, trailing off at the end.
"But? But what?" I asked, wanting to know more.
"But... you will not escape alive," said the figure. Just then, the vision in my mind
continued. Upon further notice, I noticed a little girl over to the side, hiding behind something.
It seemed that I was fighting valiantly... but losing. Eventually, I saw my Fusion Suit fall to
the ground, the wearer, me, lifeless and dead.
Just then, this image vanished, and another took its place. This one looked like a
war scene on a post-apocalyptic wasteland. SR388? No, the architecture was different.
This was very strange. There were humans and... Zebesian Space Pirates fighting
side-by-side against an army of SA-Xs?! "Holy crap... when is this one going to happen?"
I asked the figure.
"Approximately 374 years from now," said the robed figure. My attention was then
directed to a girl with a plasma rifle that looked suspiciously like me. She then got cornered
by a mob of SA-Xs. The girl then held out her hand, grabbed an SA-X, and sucked the life
force out of it? Right. This girl must have been my ancestor, which means the Metroid DNA
would have been passed down. The vision then ended there.
"So, the SA-X is finally going to complete its mission in about 10 years?" I once again
asked.
"Yes. But if you exterminate this last SA-X, none of these horrible deeds will come to
pass. What is your choice, Samus Aran? Will you exterminate the last X?" responded the
robed figure.
"Yes, I will. No human-- No, no being in the universe deserves such horrible fates," I
stated, solemn.
"Go, Samus Aran! Go and prove destiny wrong!" shouted the robed figure. After that,
the figure just disappeared.
"Adam," I stated, still solemn.
"Yes, lady?" asked Adam.
"Set a course for SR388."
"On it, Samus."

If it's too short still, I'll try to lengthen the next chapter more. This may be a main chapter, but it's
still an introductory one. Just kind of setting the mood for a climax. Well, I'll have the next
chapter up sometime soon.
