Chapter 4: Message of the Ancients

Samus lowered her armcannon. A message from Zebes? Here? Well, it was only natural that the Chozo had contact with each other, but what could this message be about? Was the Chozo of Zebes crying for help as they fell? There was only one way to find out. She stepped forward and activated the message.

"We know that we are to die soon as we transfer this, we have foreseen it. However, there is something else that we have foretold, that we want to bring to your attention. Samus, your suit is the only thing that could active this message. We beg of you to find the other two message transmitters of this planet. Once all of them are activated, we will tell you something that will change your destiny forever. Find our temples, seek our messages, and you will find an answer that will save many lives. Save us Aran,".

The hologram disappeared, and Samus tried to activate it again, but saw that it could not be shown a second time. It didn't matter though, she knew where to go now. She had to find out which of the other temples that held message transmitters, and find them. The Pirates were the least of her concerns now, as she sensed the mystery of all this. Why didn't this hologram popp up the first time she visited this location? How could this be if only her suit could active the message? Could the Pirate have done something? She didn't know, but it just couldn't be possible that this message arrived after she defeated Metroid Prime. All of the Chozo had died by then! Well, it didn't matter right now. Now, she had to find the other messages.

And so, Samus left the temple and went deeper into Phendrana Drifts, planning to take an elevator back to the Chozo Ruins. She was still not sensing the shadow that was following her.

The distant sound of the inner Chozo ruins would make anyone nervous, but Samus Aran had nothing against the mysterious Chozo's. She had been raised by them after all. Frankly, no Chozo ghosts appeared. Not even as she entered the Elder Chamber, it was abandoned, just like the Chzo had left it so many years ago. She got down to the big statue, and sensed electronic gear nearby with her suit. She activated it, and a second hologram appeared. It was the same as the laste one, and the words was the same.

Samus turned around, already ready to find the last one, but quickly sidestepped as a shot from a Pirate almost hit her. The Pirate stood high on one of the platforms in the chamber. How had the Pirate managed to get here? Well, it didn't matter now, it never did. She shot back at the Pirate while she climbed up to the platform. Apparently, the Pirate had gotten hit, and flew through one of the doors. Looks like the hunter was back on her pursuit.

A few hours later, she was no closer to the Pirate. She had followed it back to Tallon Overworld, and now it stood by her ship, trying to get in. She smiled to herself, and aimed, before she released a charged power beamshot at the Pirate. Just enough to kill it (it had been hit several times in the pursuit) and just weak enough to not damage her ship. There it was, the last Pirate, dead on the ground. Why had they appeared around the Chozo Statues like that? And where would she find the last statue? She had found the first Pirate in the Phazon Mines, did that mean the first statue had been there? Found one Pirate in Phazon Mines, killed one and found the other two in Magmoor Caverns.

Killed one and found a statue in Phendrana Drifts, found one more and one more statue in Chozo Ruins, killed it in Tallon Overworld. Something had happened in all of the places. She remembered one hidden Chozo statue in the Magmoor Caverns, but she had never thought of going there as she chased the Pirates. Should she give up this pursuit or go to Magmoor Caverns? But then she remembered a temple, the location where the Chozo had likely been born. The Life Grove.

It took her some time to get there, going through the sunken ship, but Samus got there eventually. This was probably th most hidden and ruined Chozo temple. There was a statue here though, and she quickly jumped up to the top of the temple. There again, she found a hologram, but it said the same.

Nothing else happened, and Samus was very surprised. She had found all of the message transmitters, but nothing happened.

Samus went back to her ship, disappointed. Nothing had happened, it was probably just some old Chozo message that had told her about some of the Artifacts. However the "Change her destiny forever" part kind of worried her. Well, Dark Samus had maybe changed her destiny forever, or what if Dark Samus had never existed? Maybe this message was to tell her of Dark Samus, warn her. Oh well, she had been worried about Dark Samus returning somehow, that's why she had visited this planet. But now, everything seemed fine. But then, as she was about to enter her ship, she saw the reflection of something on her ship. A door. How could she have been so stupid? She had forgotten the greatest Chozo temple of them all. The Artifact Temple.

A few minutes later, she was there, in the center of the Artifact temple, the place that still had burn marks after Ridley's rampage. And then, something happened. A light appeared next to Samus. However, just at that moment, she heard something behind her. She quickly jumped to the left, and turned around as she shot wildly, and she saw that she had been wise doing so. As she hit the invisible enemy that had stood behind her, it showed her to be a Ghost. Same type as the Chozo Ghosts, but this was different in shape. This strongly resembled someone she thought she had killed on this very location many months ago.

Starting to get exciting, eh? I have just started to write longer chapters, and don't worry, I will writer longer scenes. This is just some intro, and my first story. PLEASE REVIEW!
