38. Chapter 38

Message #38.

To: Ridley.

From: Samus Aran.

Subject: An Old Ship, Old Memories.

Well Ridley I do remember this ship. Its make and model are much like the one I destroyed back on Zebes. As I recall that is where you made your first play to take control of the space pirate forces. You had your own legion and mother brain was gone. You even had them working on a way to resurrect you.

But I was there and I stopped your robotic form from doing anymore harm, then I destroyed your ship and everyone in it. I didn't have to, I could have made an escape with no effort at all. But I got my power back and I wasn't going to waste it. I killed you and all of them because I wanted to do it.

Now I can only laugh at your offer of being your leader. Come on Ridley, is that the best you've got? Well let me tell you I am coming, and I've already entered the mines. Your troops are nothing but gnats in my way, and I will crush them as such.

I look forward to doing the same to you. Soon you'll return to the nothingness you deserve.

Samus Aran: The one who takes.
