Chapter 4: "Its Not Fair in Norfair"
Deep within the Tourian, the Mother Brain observed her lackeys. She
was as her name suggests: a giant brain preserved in a water-filled
tank. Her body had been destroyed long ago, but she still had great
power. She spoke to her Zebesian liutenant through the built-in intercom.
The Mother Brain demanded harshly, "What's taking so long with the
Project?"
The Zebesian, known as Gel, insisted, "My greatest apologies, sire. They have
begun to reproduce. At our current rate, we should have enough to challenge the
Federation in at least a month."
Mother Brain yelled, "A MONTH?! Do you know how long that is?" Gel muttered
his apologies, but the impatient Mother Brain unleashed a trio of fireballs known
as Rinkas on Gel. They tasted Zebesian flesh that day. Mother Brain randomly chose,
"Bez! You are my new lieutenant. When will I have my Metroid army?"
Bez confidentally spoke, "If I said one week, would I live?" If Mother Brain had a
face, she would smile.
Mother Brain yelled, "What are you sitting around here for? Get to work!" The group
of ten or so Zebesians shreiked and rushed down the hall to the Metroid holding area.
In their rush, they did not notice that one of them, known as Zeb, had broken off
from the group and hidden in a shady corner. He spoke into his comlink. He ended the
transmission by saying, "I'll report to you when I recieve more news, Adam. Zeb out."
***
Samus emerged from the elevator deep within Zebes's crust and found himself staring at
a pair of statues of Ridley. A second later, they were nothing more then dust. He leapt
to the bottom of the short shaft, and made his way to purple vertical shaft. He then
traveled to a second, much longer purple vetical shaft and made his way to a door.
He followed the long corridor behind it and found another Chozo Statue clutching an
orb in its hand. Samus remembered when he lived with the Chozo after being orphaned
as a young child. Samus shot the orb and saw a pair of boots there.
Samus grabbed it and glowed. The words in Samus's Scan Visor read, "Hi-Jump ability
learned. You can now jump 1.5 times as high as normal." Samus tested it. He leaped up and
hit his head on the ceiling. If it weren't for the Power Suit, that would have hurt.
Samus decided to stop playing around and continue his quest. He discovered a secret
passage with his Bombs and through several rooms before she stopped in a green room.
Once again acting on instinct, he fired at the ceiling and opened a passage. He leaped
through the passage to an identical green room. Samus entered the hatch and found another
corridor with a Chozo Statue at the end. The Chozo had taught Samus how to fight and
all the tricks of the trade.
Samus blew up the orb in the Chozo Statue's hand and grabbed the black lightning ball
it grasped. The words read, "Screw Attack ability recovered. You now attack enemies by
jumping into them." Samus tested it out. as he Spin Jumped. As he jumped, a deadly
electric field generated from the Power Suit. Samus appeared to be a flying electric buzzsaw.
Samus backtracked to the first green room and continued wandering through the rooms until
he arrived in the middle another deep vertical shaft. He leaped into the lava shallow pool at
the bottom. Samus's instincts caused him to bomb the floor of the lava and reveal the rest
of the shaft. Samus made his way to the bottom and through several small rooms. The bombing
instincts acted again in another green room, revealing a secret corridor. Samus followed it to
another Chozo Statue. The Chozo were a peaceful people until the days of Space Pirates when
they were forced to change their ways.
Samus retrieved another Power-Up from the Statue. The words read, "Wave effect added to
Beams. You can now fire through walls." Samus then backtracked all the way to that long purple
vertical shaft and made his way to the bottom. He followed a corridor to an elevator. This is
it. The path to Ridley. And, revenge.
So, Samus has found the secret passage to Ridley's lair. What grudge does he hold against the evil
Ridley? Can she vanquish the evil creature? And if so, does she stand a chance against the sinister
Mother Brain and the evil Metroids? Find out in Chapter 5: "Ridley's Riddle".
