Hi again people. Metroid isn't mine. It's Nintendo's. NO LAWSUIT FOR YOU! *in a 'soup nazi' voice.* OK, I'm done. On with the story. Read and review please.

---------------------------------- Metroid- Resurgence Chapter 2 ----------------------------------

Ridely flew through the atmosphere of DC-834 with grim ease. He was headed toward one of the last remaining Space pirate bases in the outer clusters. Ridely silently cursed the hunter that had laid waste to his brothers. He was thankful, however, for her destroying the Mother Brain once and for all. 'With that pile of slop gone, I will finally rule the pirates,' Ridely thought, 'and with that kind of leverage, I can take over the Federation! Even the hunter will fear my name!' Ridely smiled at the thought. 'Thank you indeed, Samus Aran!'

Meanwhile, in nearby star system, Samus was looking at planet P3X-29. The Chozo had long been awaiting her arrival on the planet, but Samus didn't know that. With a smile on her face, Samus got into her armor.
"You seem happy today Samus."
Samus was about to put her helmet on, but stopped to talk to her computer/computer. "Adam. It's been over whoknowsbutwaytomanyfreaking years since I saw my adopted parents! They're my 'family', and they might be on this colony! Now if you, the birds, or the space monkeys here have something to say about that, then I'm listening."

-silence-

"OK THEN! lets get down to the planet!" Samus said. Soon, Samus's ship was careening through the atmosphere. Adam refrained from mentioning the fact that the Chozo were thought to be extinct.

---------

Ryan stood outside the colony's main hatch. The lava flows in the desert world had created long trails of glass and fire on the sand plains. Many different creatures lived under the desert, but only sentient creatures could develop enough to survive on the surface. Ryan enjoyed sitting under the hot blue sun of P3X-29. It gave him a comforting sensation for reasons even unknown to him. Nearby, a river of lava boiled away, causing its shore line to turn to glass. The sound of a greemer chirping nearby was the only sound disturbing Ryan, and that was ended with a casual shot from one of his handguns.
Ryan, having passed his trial, had been given leave from the Chozo. Now armed with his new weapons, Ryan was sitting by a lava river. The Chozo had rescued him from certain death, and had raised him since he was 4. He had heard about the hunter who had saved Tallon IV, and almost envied the power she held. Ryan had also been given a power suit like Samus, however his was more of a body armor instead of being a full body type. 'I prefer the mobility,' he had told his teachers when they offered him a copy of Samus's power armor, 'It allows me more agility, and that's how I like it.' The Chozo had gradually drawn away from him over the past year, only telling Ryan that they would be leaving soon, and that he would be joining Samus.
Ryan's thinking was interrupted by the sound of a approaching ship. Getting up, Ryan grabbed his guns and returned to the Chozo temples. He would soon be leaving this wondrous place forever, and he wanted to visit one special place before he left...

----------

"Samus, I am receiving several hundred bio-signs from the colony," Adam reported, "I believe most of them to be Chozo life forms, however some of them are unknown to me. All of the unknown creatures are under the ruins, in the Magma chambers."
"Yes! I can ask the Chozo here about my Chozo family! Also, I can ask them about the new weapon design we found!" Samus grinned extra wide at the last part. The resident Etecoons and Dachoras simply shook their heads and went back to their business.
Adam stopped a short distance away from the Chozo temples, letting Samus walk some of the distance by herself. It was high noon on the planet, and the blazing blue sun was beginning to get to Samus's suit when she reached the shelter of the temples. "Jeez, its blazing out here!" she said as the doors slid open. Once inside, she was greeted by several Chozo.
"Ah, welcome Samus. We have been expecting you for some time." spoke the eldest of the Chozo. "Welcome to the temple of Zedais. We have guarded this place for generations from the outside universe, but now it is time for us to leave once again."
Another Chozo stepped forward, "Samus child, your adoptive father spoke well of you before he left here, and I now see he told the truth. To defeat both the pirates and the parasites was quite a feat."
"My father was here?" Samus felt a tinge of sadness that she had missed her father, but knew that the Chozo were a predominately nomadic people.
"Yes, but he left over half an earth year ago," replied the elder bird, "He told us that you would eventually come, so we prepared Him for your coming."
"Him? Who's Him?" replied a very confused Samus.
"A boy who's ship we came across during our travels." spoke the young Chozo once more. "Space pirates had overrun the entire ship, but somehow the boy had managed to survive."
"He was exposed to several types of radiation while he was aboard, and his genes had mutated to the point of almost certain death." Another Chozo had appeared from a nearby entrance. "By whatever merciful deity that boy believes in, he was able to survive genetic reconstruction. We had to use some substitute DNA for some of the areas that had been irrecoverably damaged, but the Metroid DNA worked perfectly in his body."
"YOUR TELLING ME THAT YOU PUT METROID DNA IN HIS BODY? Do you even know what it could do to him?"
All the Chozo in the room chuckled as well as any bird could. "Actually, yes we did. The DNA has allowed him to absorb any kind of energy by direct kinetic contact, and also to survive in almost any environment for limited periods of time, even in a complete vacuum if he has absorbed enough energy. He can also sort of communicate with Metroids, however this was a unplanned side effect. We now believe that he can lead Metroids into battle with him. This should give him an advantage in the battle field."
The elder chozo raised his head at the last comment "You mean if any are left alive."
Samus shook her head solemnly, "You birds are crazier that I though. Oh well. So, what do you plan to do with him?"
All the Chozo replied in unison. "Send him with you."

--------- Magma chambers ---------

Ryan heard a large rumbling sound from above him suddenly, and he was reminded of several comical anime movies he had seen from the Chozo's extensive databanks(Don't ask me how or why the Chozo have anime). Ryan dismissed the though as he moved through the lava filled area. Ryan stumbled upon a lava lake, and decided to test his Metroid powers. Reaching his hand into the Magma, he pulled the heat energy directly from the molten rock. Soon, a bridge had formed in the lake, allowing him across the magma. His hands showed no signs of burns.
He soon reached his objective. The elders had told him to avoid this area, but now was as good a time as any to break the rules. High above the ground floor of the cavern, in the hands of a Chozo statue, sat an artifact of power. Ryan smiled and walked over to a nearby platform. Space jumping up to it, Ryan made his way up to the top of the room. He shot the item's casing away, and retrieved the new item. His sunglasses/scan-visor showed him what his prize truly was.
-Charge beam acquired. Plasma pistols now able to charge.-
"Sweet." Ryan said to himself. He moved on to the next set of chambers.

----------- inside the Chozo temple... (this part totally for comedy, but still part of story.) -----------

"You want me to baby-sit the kid while you birds go gallivanting off as you please?!? Your insane!" Samus was yelling again.
The Chozo took a step back, almost regretting their plan. "Well, we have no choice really..." another stepped forward to support his brother. "Yeah, its not like WE can take him with us, he belongs with his own people!" "YEAH!" the rest cried in unison. Samus sweat dropped anime style, heaved a sigh, and started to think that coming here was a bad idea. The few Chozo all made 'bambie eyes'(how giant birds can do this, I don't know.) at Samus. "Please???"

--------------------

Hi again. I hope you readers liked this chapter. hopefully I can continue at this pace. With a little nod of respect for Paladin2007, I have decided leave Samus's decision hanging. Anyway, thanks for your reviews guys! Thanks also for your ideas, however I couldn't really incorporate them just yet... I hope to update soon with the 3rd part soon! Cya!

-------------------next episode---------------- Samus is asked by the chozo to destroy a creature in the ruins, and discovers the new weapon she was searching for! Ryan meanwhile, is trying to gain more artifacts. what will happen when the two meet?(if ever at this rate...)
