~Introduction~
Many years have passed since Samus defeated Metroid Prime and abandoned Tallon IV for it to return to its normal state… the remnants of the Pirates boarded their Frigate the Vai and fled… but the Hunter was hot on them… they fled to Zebes, where they found out that their brethren, who were supposed to have restored Kraid and the Mother Brain, had abandoned their facilities, evacuated the planet…
But no longer was it empty. They salvaged the research facility, and rebuilt everything. They found, in a vast chamber flooded with acid, the Mother Brain lying in ruins. Beyond they saw Kraid, feasting on the Space Pirates who unfortunately didn't make it off the planet. They immediately set to work. The Pirates began to bio-engineer the brain of Kraid. He soon was at the Pirate's command once again, and all was good. But in the distant, the Hunter watched over them, ever patient, ever wrathful…
The Pirate's mysterious leader, by the name of the Dragon Hawk, walked amongst the shadows, awaiting the Hunter's arrival… everything was so mysterious… even to Samus… for soon enough, the Pirates left once again, launching their Frigate into the void, looking for a wayward planet to inhabit. When their sensors reached out for an inhabitable planet with good resources, their computer returned one planet that haunted everyone's visions:
Tallon IV.
The Pirates regretfully returned, and began to rebuild their facilities in the Phendrana region, as well as the Mines of Tallon IV that once flowed with Phazon. It was at this time that the Hunter arrived, and set flame to their few works in the Tallon Overworld. The Pirates fled in dismay, but all was good soon enough. For they released Kraid once again, and she did not stand against him long. Kraid defeated her, and her unconscious body was brought to Research Lab Hydra in the Phendrana Drifts. This is where the story begins.
~Chapter 1: The Escape~
Samus mumbled and opened her eyes. She found herself stripped of all her equipment, and she lay there in her camouflage pants and undershirt. Her side suddenly burned with pain. She yelped and looked up. A Pirate was standing over her, injecting something into her. She moaned, for she knew that Pirate poisons would for sure make her neutralized for weeks. She tried to sit up, but a huge hand slammed her back down. She looked up, and looming over the entire operation was an Elite Pirate, guarding her.
Samus tried to fall asleep, but the pains of needles and pirate eyes kept her awake. She knew there was no escape this time. But she continued to struggle with her captors. She finally was able to slip off the table and evade the sluggish hands of the Elite Pirate. Samus ran up a long ramp that was falling apart from the many years. The Pirates started yelling and firing at her. She would make it, she knew she would. Samus looked up and groaned. She was staring into the headlights of a Sentry Drone.
But Samus was crafty and she grabbed the drone and shook it. The drone's alarm went ballistic and she chucked it off the ledge. She made a mad dash for the door and wrenched it open with her hands. She ran, she ran so fast that her feet began to bleed. She ran until she slammed into yet another door. Samus opened it, and fell into the oh-so-familiar Observatory. She snuck up behind four unwary Pirates, and peeked at what they were observing.
Hanging there, up on the wall, was her Gravity Suit. She clenched her fists, and looked around. The Hunter noticed that all four of them looked rather tired. So she hid behind some computers for what seemed like three hours, but was only about thirty minutes. It was then that she noticed the computers, which were untouched, were totally open. She began to work at the keyboard, and soon all the alarms were going off. The Pirates were out of the room fast. She snuck over to the suit and beam. She slipped into the sleek suit, and ran after the Pirates.
They didn't notice her. It was when she reached the Lab again was there some problems. She looked around, but no one was there. So she carefully and quietly crept down the ramps. But on accident, Samus stepped on a wire and it twanged. Two Pirates below suddenly turned invisible. Samus jumped the ramp and ran for the door. But in front of the door was her jail warden, the Elite Pirate. Samus stopped and stared. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists. Samus ran right through his legs and out the door. The Elite Pirate stood there, baffled.
The Hunter fled to a smoldering grove. There were four Pirates there, along with six Pirates airborne. There was also a shady looking figure in a cloak. On top of the smoldering ashes and broken ice was the Gunship, Hunter-class registered to Samus Aran herself. The escape would end here, positive or negative…
