Hi, I'm back. Did a chapter in one day... AMAZIN!(had second chapter halfway done last time) Last chapter focused on the Ryan character I put in the story, so this time I'm going to focus mainly on Samus. Once again, PLEASE REVIEW. Thanks. oh, and I don't own metroid. its Nintendo's. All I own is the fan fiction.

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

Samus had entered what seemed to be the Magma caverns. Her meeting with the Chozo had NOT gone as well as she had hoped. First they stick her with BABY-SITTING some kid, and now they wanted her to kill the resident Magmoor queen that had been reeking havoc on the lower ruins. "This is so STUPID! I don't even know why I bother with this stuff." Samus shot down a few bats, then moved towards another tunnel. "I mean, I'm a bounty hunter, not a baby-sitter! Besides, I never was good with kids. STUPID CHOZO!" The Magma caverns shook with the shout. "Stupid weak cave..." Samus muttered walked deeper into the caverns. She found a bridge over a lake of magma. Walking over the bridge, she noticed that it was beginning to melt back into the magma, and she quickened her pace. Almost immediately after she had crossed the bridge, the entire assembly melted back to its liquid form.
"Ok, now to the Magmoor queens layer!" Samus said as she looked around the next room. She spied and empty Chozo artifact holder, and Space jumped up to it. Spying a breakable metal plate on the floor, Samus morphed into her ball mode and laid a bomb on the plate. The bomb gave off a satisfying bang, and Samus rolled down the now open tunnel. Coming out on the other side, Samus found herself in an immense cavern. Several Magmoors were swimming around in magma pools, but most of them ignored Samus's presence. One Magmoor was stupid and tried to attack Samus, but it found itself on the wrong end of her Ice beam. After making her way to a nearby door, Samus found an Artifact holder. Samus suddenly remembered the last of her conversation with the Chozo.

---------flash back-----------

"When you reach the first Statue, bomb the grating in front of it, and you will find a path to the power you asked us about."
"So what is this beam supposed to do?" Samus had asked the Chozo elder.
"It is a weapon of great power." The elder Chozo replied, "It was supposedly the pinnacle of our beam weapons, but it was never tested fully..."
"And why is that?" a curious Samus had asked.
The elder Chozo sadly shook his head. "That I cannot speak of, although I wish I could. You must find this out for yourself. By the way... Could you possibly get rid of a certain problem creature?"

---------end flashback--------

Samus shot off the casing of the artifact and retrieved the item. Her visor read out a transcript of Chozo text.

--This is our greatest work. The power of a super nova, the hunger of the dark holes of space. both heaven and hell shall fear our newest creation.--
The visor flashed suddenly, and a new stream of text appeared.

--OMNI BEAM ACQUIRED-- (classic item collection music heard in the background)

"OH YEAH!" Samus shouted. The caves shook again.

--------------- meanwhile... ---------------

"Dang, what in the world is causing all these earthquakes?" Ryan was inside an artifact room of his own. He had already found a Ice beam upgrade for his pistols, and just now he had found a Wave beam upgrade. Walking outside, he pulled up his map of the area on his sunglasses. The earthquakes were originating in two separate chambers. Ryan decided to investigate the shocks later, as he though he wouldn't be strong enough to fight anything big yet. Standing above another large lake of lava, he spotted several Magmoors. Deciding to try out his Ice beam, he fired and missed on his first shot, but hit on his second. He jumped and landed on the head of the frozen Magmoor, and soon repeated the feat on another Magmoor.
Arriving at the shore after a few more jumps, Ryan made his way to a Wave beam door that had stopped his progress some time ago. Blasting the door open with his newly acquired beam, Ryan smiled at the sight. Deep inside the ruins was rumored to be a library of DNA from all creatures encountered by the Chozo. They even had a copy of their creation, the Metroid. Ryan walked down the pathways of the library, in awe of the massive collection. He soon found what he was looking for. Grabbing several stasis containers from the shelf, he quickly left the library. He set a explosive charge on the ceiling outside the library, and left the area before the timer on the bomb hit zero...

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

Samus had left the Artifact chamber and was moving to find the Magmoor queen, when an explosion rocked the caverns. Samus almost lost her balance, but regained it by hanging on to a wall.

"DANG! That queen must really be mad or something! Guess I'll have to end that."

Samus made haste to the largest room in the Magma chambers, where the Chozo had said the Magmoor queen resided. Looking around, Samus spotted a boy in green power suit like clothing. After scanning the suit, Samus found it to be of Chozo origin, and decided for herself that he was Ryan.

"Hey kid," Samus yelled, "The Chozo sent me here to retrieve you, and to kill of the Magmoor queen. You going to come quietly and help me kill the queen, or do I have to hit you with an ice beam and drag you back?"

"I'll help you. I've found what I was looking for, so I'm ready to leave." replied the youth.

"OK then, lets kill this beast and go home." Samus fired a missile into the lava, and a dull explosion could be heard. The room started to quake, and SOMETHING resembling a Magmoor surfaced in the lake.

"Speak of the beast..." Ryan commented. The creature loosed a fiery blast at Samus and Ryan, but they dodged and began charging their ice beam. With precision timing, they loosed the beams at the same instant. The creature was barely affected by the powerful blasts. Samus tried using her Diffusion missiles, but they had almost no effect. Both tired their other weapons in vain. The beast seemed to be invincible, even to being frozen! Suddenly getting an idea, Samus scanned the creature.

-- Creature: Magmoor queen

Scan information: Magmoor queens are normally the ruler of Magmoor colonies. Normally, only one exists in a 1000 km radius of one another. Creature's outer shell is invincible to most weaponry, however its massive weight and slow firing rate may be potential weaknesses. --

"THE CRAP?!? This thing HAS no real weakness! Wait...." Samus suddenly remembered the OMNI beam, and switched over to the weapon. The arm cannon fully expanded, and was covered in ice, electricity, and fire. Looking like heaven itself had come, Samus began charging the beam.

--------------- (Note for those who have played Metroid Prime: Remember how the Arm Cannon's shape changes depending on the weapon? Think about all those shapes combined, and the end split for firing missiles. PURE JOY FOR ME. * evil laughter from psycho writer. *) -----------------

"OK Queenie! Hava taste of my new toy!" Samus yelled over the sound of the beam charging. A full charge achieved, Samus let the shot fly straight at the creatures mouth. Suddenly, all sound stopped. The color spectrum completely reversed. Time seemed to freeze, then snap back into motion. A ball of unknown energies spewed forth from Samus's Arm cannon, and tore through the creature completely. The caverns shook from the awesome power of the weapon, and the roof partially caved in. Rocks pounded everywhere, and one fell straight on Samus, knocking her out cold...

Ryan was able to dodge the rocks, and found Samus lying deathly still near the exit. Picking up her immense weight in the power suit was not an easy task for the 16 year old, but he managed the feat. Brining her up to the surface, he found the Chozo had already left their home. Exhausted from hauling Samus's unconscious form through the caverns, Ryan set her down near the entrance, and ventured outside. He scanned the horizon, looking for Samus's ship. Seeing nothing, he sat by one of the lava rivers.
Inside the temple, Samus had finally come around. Her power suits energy meter had dropped from 100% to only 60%. 'Dang,' she thought, 'That beam must have used up a lot of energy...' After finding a recharge room, Samus headed outside. Finding Ryan with his hand in a lava river was quite a shock for Samus, even more so when the river hardened into rock and Ryan's hand didn't have a single burn from the intense heat.

"So, they really did infuse your body with Metroid DNA..." Samus said as she sat by the boy.

"Indeed they did. It helped a lot in my training, and also keeps me from being harmed by the heat of the lava. I could probably go skinny dipping in the stuff and not be burnt!" Both Samus and Ryan laughed at the last part.

"Yeah, but you would probably have one heck of a tan! But that's besides the point. Those Chozo said that they were leaving. Why?"

"All they would really tell me is to look to the Chozo scripts for enlightenment. I never really understood what the texts meant until the Space pirates started attacking."

"The Space Pirates attacked? That stinks, but it's almost inevitable... What were the Chozo leaving for anyway?"

"They were all going to gather for one last party, or something like that. The text mentioned something about them all leaving this plain of existence, so I'm guessing they were all on the verge of extinction.... I really will miss them."

"Hmmm... Guess that means seeing my 'Parents' is out of the question. Well, the Chozo always did like parties, so I guess its a fitting way to go. They left me as your guardian, so I guess you should come with me. I make a good living off of being a bounty hunter, so I guess you could begin as my aid!"

"As an aid? Oh no... PLEASE, NO PAPERWORK!!!" Ryan screamed, an expression of pure terror on his face.

Samus busted up laughing, and started to walk to her ship. "No paperwork, but you will have to do some chores on the ship. That you can bank on!"

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

As Samus and Ryan left the planet behind, Ridley looked out from his new domain. The view was so much better than the view Ridley 1 thru 4 had gotten, stuck in Norfair and varius other places. Ridley smiled as any space dragon would at the sight of his newly resurrected fleet. He had the pirate engineers working night and day to create Phazon from the samples they had retrieved from Tallon IV's destroyed research labs. Soon, Ridley would have the super army the Zebesian high command had only dreamed of....

----end----

So...Yeah, or something like that. Anyway, the Chozo are gone and Samus is a baby-sitter. And whats this? Ridley has a new fleet and some PHAZON?!? What a crazy thing I've done. Oh well. MUST MAKE CHAPTER 4!!!!! Until then, Please review!
