Chapter: "The Story of the METROID"
(YOU...M...U...S...T...REALIze THIS. THE M-METROI-ID WAS CREATED by THE
CHOZO FOR PROTECTION FROM US. WE KNEW EVERRYTHING ABOUT THEMM. WE FEARED
THE METROID.) "Why did they turn against the Chozo?!" (LET ME FIRST...tELL
YOU...W...H...Y...THE CHOZO WERE PROMPTED.) Samus faced the door, and her
sight blurred into another vision. It was Crateria, the surface of Zebes.
(THE TORIZO HAD FORSAkEN THE CHOZO, BECAUSE THE CHOZO h...A...d...WALLED ME
AWay IN TOURIAN. THEY WOULD NOT LET THE TORIZO DESTROY ME. IN FEAR, THEY
MADE METROID, TO KEEP THE GAMMANS THAT I CONTROL AWAY FROM ZEBES. THEY WERE
FIRST MADE ON THE PLANET OF...T...A...l...l...O...n...FOUR. THE SUBSTANCE
THEY USED TO ENGINEER METROID WAS WHAT GAVE METROID THE...P...O...W...E...R,
TO evOLVE.) The scene changed to a deep underground cavern, glowing in blue.
A giant, crab-like monster lashed at Samus, and the scene changed back to
Chozodia. (THIS...K...I...l...L...e...d...ALL of THE CHOZO ON TALLON FOUR.)
"...I don't understand. Why?" (IT WANTED TO FEED. IT IS ONLY A MERE
ANIMAL, A WILD, LAB-MADE CREATION THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TAMME. THEY WERE NOT
F...I...N...I...S...H...E...D...WITH IT YET. eveN IF INCOMPLETE...IT WAS
STILL ENOUGH.) "Still enough to deliberately kill its creators?! Why did
they do something as foolish as to create these monsters in the first place?!
Why didn't they just let the Torizo kill you?!" (I AM A BOMMB TRIGGER...DID
YOU...FORGET?! IF I DIE...ZEBES GOES WITH me!!! ALL Of IT!!!)
"So the Chozo kept the Torizo away from you because of your bomb...WAIT!"
A quake rocks Chozodia. "TOURIAN IS THE BOMB THAT YOU PLANTED!!! And you
set it off!" (HEhehehehHEHEheheheHEHe...THE tourIAN YOU WERE AT...WAS A
SURFACE BOMB. IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF...YOU ALLOWS THE ONNE AT THE CORE
TO EXPLODE!?!) "Oh, Gods...I can't do that. I can't destroy Zebes."
(SO...WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE? DO you FIGht MME? OR DO YOU leAVe Me IN PEACE?)
"I...have no choice. I'll stop. You are broken and licking your wounds.
This is enough for me." (RIDLEY...SHOW HER OUT.) Samus whirls around to
face Ridley again. "Ah! I thought that I finished you!"
"...No. I'm tougher than that. You merely tired me. Though I did fear that
I was going to die. Come on. You must leave Chozodia and Zebes." Samus
nodded. It was...for now, all over. The METROID presence was eliminated
from Zebes, and Adam was waiting for her. They were going to go back to
Alpha Centauri and Keaton.
-------------------------------------
Samus manned the controls of the ship and began to lift off from the surface
of Zebes. She looks at Adam, who just sits beside her, as blank as the robot
he now was. He turns his head and returns her gaze.
"Lady?"
"What is it?" Adam looks at the consoles that control the ship.
"I don't want to go back. I have broken enough laws as it is. I am not in
a human body anymore. I cannot...live in the Federation anymore." Samus
looked at the screen. She understood. The anti-robot laws that Shivasta
Noree, the Chairman of the Federation before Keaton, had implemented,
forbade robots from existing anywhere within 500 light-years of the Alpha
Sector of the galaxy. Why Shivasta did this was anyone's guess. Maybe it
was because of the Reploids; the damage they all caused humanity. That was
centuries ago...in the 2200's.
Shivasta Noree was a human from Earth in those days. He had diplomacy with
the Federation a secret from all kinds of sentience that were on Earth.
When he revealed it to the human public, he was immediately elected to be
the Chairman of the Federation by a landslide. The first thing he did? He
had all robots and Reploids banished or dismantled. The Robotic Age was over,
and humanity was going to the farthest ends of the galaxy within a decade.
Adam would not be welcome anymore, and by law, if he did not leave within a
week, he would be arrested and scrapped.
"Where can you possibly go, Adam? I don't know of any community of robots.
Can't Keaton rescind the laws, or make an exception?" Adam sighed.
"No. He made exception enough when I had my left hand replaced with nano-
machinery. He made exception enough when those same machines replaced half
of my brain. He cannot rescind those laws because his superiors would kick
him out of the Federation. He cannot twist them for one more exception,
either. He has irritated them enough about me. If you are insistent that
I stay, then I will resign myself to immediate disassembly." Samus grabbed
Adam's jacket.
"Adam, NO! I don't want you to do that! You were resourceful enough to
survive Mother Brain and Meta-Ridley when they attacked you, why can't you
work around the Federation?!" Adam grinned.
"A government is a different enemy from pirates, Lady. You have to understand
that governments will grab every card in a deck and use it all against you.
They hold everything...and yes, I have to agree that they are all facist
bastards." Adam's smile immediately turns back into a flat face. "I cannot
work around them. As I said, they move the galaxy's laws and principles.
They can even have you arrested for treason, being a liaison with me."
Samus lets go of Adam's jacket and sits back at the controls.
"..." Adam looks at the screen. A few ships were nearby. One of them was
unmistakable...Hardy's 'Pork Roast'. "Com 346-A82, Samus Aran reporting back
from Zebes...Hardy, do you get this message?" The screen changes to that of
everyone's favorite obese officer...holding a sub sandwich in one hand, and
looking off to someone off-screen.
"Huh? Who is it? OH! Samus!" Hardy tries to hide his sandwich, much to
Samus' laughter, he can't. "Well, anyway." Hardy bites into the sandwich.
"Fif me oar rephort." Samus moves up closer to the screen.
"What? Oh, my report." She sits back. "Okay. I successfully arrived at
Zebes without incident and managed to rout out most of the Gammans and
destroy all of the Metroids. The only one that I can't deal with is..."
Hardy takes another bite of the sandwich, not seeing Keaton sneak up on him.
"Iff?" Keaton pokes Hardy in the back and shouts:
"HARDY!!!"
"DOOH!" Hardy leaps up and tosses his sandwich up into the air, turning
around to face Keaton.
"Eating while talking to a date?" Hardy looks at Keaton angrily.
"NO, I WASN'T!!! Samus is reporting back." Hardy turns around to face
Samus again. "Anyway-" Hardy gets shoved off of the stool by Keaton.
"Anyway, did you get rid of them all?! What about the Metroids?! Did you
get one back for us to study?! Huh, huh, huh?!" Keaton passes out his
questions like a little kid excited to see a parent home. Samus sighs.
'Hopeless as always...' "No, no, and no." Keaton's look of eager glee
fades away...into one of bewilderment.
"What do you mean?" Samus crosses her arms. This, much to her hopes, would
go without him shouting at her or Hardy.
"First, I can't get rid of Mother Brain. She's got Zebes rigged to go boom
if she's killed. Second, I got rid of all the Metroids on Zebes, but there
are more on other worlds. Third, I didn't get one to study...yet." Keaton
looks around for Hardy, who mysteriously managed to escape Keaton's gaze.
(And that's saying something, as he has eyes on his antennas.)
"Eh...? HARDY!!!!! WHERE THE HELL DID YOU WADDLE OFF TO NOW??!!"
----------------------------------
(From my hypothetical end of Zero Mission and moving on to Metroid Prime.
Gaw, I think that my little inbetweener here is awesome. I don't know
how well-written it is to other people, but I don't care. Oh, and the
inclusion of Reploids doesn't mean that MMX is getting thrown into this, its
only for a little historical reference...after all, I wanted to give the
anti-robot laws a background, and Adam is effectively a robot at the end of
this, anyway.)
