Chapter 5: "The Metroids"
Deep within the Tourian, in a hidden docking bay, the Zebesians loaded Metroids
and mysterious canisters into three space frigates. The alien informant known as
Zeb hid in a dark corner and spoke into his comlink, "Adam, we've got trouble.
It seems this is only the beginning." Zeb suddenly looked up and found himself
staring into the eyes of a familiar creature. Zeb exclaimed, "But, you're dead!"
before the creature swallowed him whole.
The comlink continued to chirp, "Zeb! Zeb! Are you there? Answer me!" until the
creature smashed it. The creature than screeched and flew into the open hatch of
one of the Space Frigates.
***
Adam nervously paced in his office. He was middle-aged, with brown hair and glasses.
He looked like your average scientist. But, Adam was very worried about Samus. Adam
has lost contact with Zeb, and he can't contact Samus. The bounty hunter insisted that
the only comlink be put in his ship, and only Samus could call Adam. The brash Samus
didn't want Adam to start "mindlessly blabbering" every two seconds. But, Samus was
in grave danger at the moment.
***
In the breeding area of the Tourian, the Zebesians were installing new beta ray
equipment in hopes that they could finish their assignment by the end of the week.
The Space Pirates then took a break and played some BlackJack, unaware of how
rapidly the Metroids were multiplying. Just as Bez was about to play the winning
hand, the holding tank shattered and the Zebesians screamed in terror as the Metroids
pounced.
***
Samus emerged from the elevator atop a pretty long shaft. Samus began to make his
way down when suddenly, a Metroid came from nowhere. It was jellyfish-like, with a
transperant "head". Its red brain matter was visible, and sharp pincers protruded from
its underside. Before Samus could attack, the creature latched onto him with its razor-sharp
pincers. Samus could feel the energy leaving his body.
Thinking quickly, Samus went into Morph Ball Mode and laid several Bombs beneath the Metroid.
The explosion caused the Metroid to release its grip. Samus then froze the creature with the
Ice Beam and blasted it with Missiles. The Metroid exploded. Yet, more Metroids came to challenge
Samus. He destroyed them and made his way to the bottom of the shaft.
Samus entered the corridor labeled, "Breeding Area". Apparently, the Metroids had broken loose.
Evidence of this included the shattered holding tanks, the pools of lava, and the Space Pirate
corpses. Suddenly, a surviving Zebesian came from nowhere and opened fire on Samus. He tore
through the Space Pirate's chest with a well-aimed Screw Attack. Samus clashed with more
Metroids as he made his way through the corridor and down the shaft. Samus fought Metroid
after Metroid in the last corridor. As he entered the last room, he finally found his goal.
The room was filled with tanks containing a life-support substance known as Zebetite. It powered the
giant tank in the middle, which held a giant orange brain. This was the famed Mother Brain. Mother
Brain laughed within her statis chamber and bragged, "Hunter, do you truly think that you can stop the
almighty Mother Brain and her Phazon-powered Metroid army?"
Samus rebutted, "I don't think. I know." as he blasted a tank of Zebetite to kingdom come.
The Mother Brain laughed, "O ho ho! A feisty one, eh? Let's see if you can break through my Zebetite."
The Zebetite Samus destroyed instantly regenerated. "They power my force field. If you can destroy them,
I'll be helpless. Just for fun, I'll throw in some Rinkas." Three fire rings known as Rinkas flew from the
Mother Brain's mouth and flew towards Samus. He dodged them and continued blasting the Zebetites away.
The five blobs regenerated.
Samus attacked more viciously then ever. When the dust cleared, there was no evidence of the Zebetites'
existance. Mother Brain screamed in agony. "Impossible! The Mother Brain cannot lose!" Samus set off a
steady stream of Missiles that hit their target. Samus then ducked to avoid the Rinkas' latest pass and
continued to cripple the floating brain. The room shook, and sparks flew from the Mother Brain's tank.
"What's happening?" The Mother Brain yelled as dust fell from the ceiling.
Samus thought to himself, **One more Missile should do the trick.** as he took aim.
The Mother Brain pleaded, "Don't shoot, Hunter! If you kill me, you'll never destroy the Metroids!"
Samus said, "They're all dead. And any survivors will be wiped out before they leave the Tourian."
The Mother Brain then informed, "But, you must have found it odd that there were only one hundred
here. I have no less then a thousand Metroids scattered across the universe for....experimentation. So
you see Samus, you could kill me. But, if you spare my life, you will be able to complete your mission."
Samus thought for the next minute. Samus then replied, "I was ordered to destroy all Space Pirates, not
to gullibly believe their lies and let them lead me into a trap. Because I am Samus Aran, master bounty
hunter." Samus released the Missile.
Mother Brain screamed, "Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" as her tank caved in on her.
Samus planted the Time Bomb on the rubble and ran out the room. The Time Bomb was a bit fast, as it
was already on 937 seconds when Samus reached the last vertical shaft. It wasn't very long, but the platforms
were small. Samus made it to the top with 108 seconds left. Samus boarded an elevator, which carried him to
the surface of Planet Zebes.
There was no sign of his ship. 69 seconds. Still nothing. 28 seconds. Samus saw something rapidly
approaching 10 seconds. It was his spaceship. He leaped on top of it. Samus climbed in through the
top hatch as a squad of Feds safely guided the ship out of orbit just as a big chunk of Zebes's
surface went up in flames. The nightmare was over.
But, the passengers of the gunship never noticed three Space Pirate Frigates speeding away from
Zebes......
Wait! Its not over yet! Stick around for the Epilogue, where Samus's true identity is revealed!
