Before her eyes opened she felt something, which felt like a pulsating headache. Samus's eyes gradually opened and her senses were back to normal. She could now clearly see that she was in the pirate's base inside what looked to be an operating room. It seemed energy beams bound her too. One pirate gave a glair and Samus plaid dead, to say. She looked up again and there were two elites guarding what seemed to the exit, beside the exit was a small panel shaped like a claw with five fingers, and beside another panel with a much larger hand with only three finger and no claws. Samus had to play dead again because they kept checking. Samus thought to herself'' whey didn't they execute me on the spot they know the threat I am'' Samus pondered this for a while. There was also three other pirates in the corner of which she had not noticed earlier. Knowing the situation was as bleak as it could get, she clenched her right fist in rage. She then felt the touch of skin to skin in the palm of her hand, her arm canon was supposed to be there! She looked up immediately, almost out of reflex; she bent up, she then saw her arm canon wasn't there. Just now realising what she had done. The pirates quickly looking at her with her up did nothing and continued what they were doing. Perplexed at this Samus continued studying the room even though she was still confused. Then it clicked they already knew she was awake they weren't considering her a threat because her lack of firepower (arm canon) and because she was bound. One of the smaller pirates turned around with her gun. She had found the target.

''But still why hadn't they killed me'' were the thoughts that were racing threw Samus's head. The pirate had pulled out some wires from the wall with what had looked lasers attached to them. They shot a red laser at the arm canon, which immediately deflected of course and hit one of the elite guards. The guard on the left let out a moan of pain, and then brought up his arm and then he started to charge what looked to a photon canon. The other guard stopped him before he fired. The guard on the left resumed his position grumbling to himself while clenching his shoulder on the right very hard.

The pirate in the corner who had fired the laser was now signalling to the others to go over to Samus. The pirates went over to Samus. Her adrenaline was now at the peek of its capacity. Sweat raced down her face. They brought up a canon, which looked to about same size as the one of the elites. It started charging while aimed at Samus when all of a sudden the pirate fiddling with Samus's canon set off a continuous stream of plasma shots. One of the shots hit the already wounded elite and the pirate holding the canon. The pirate holding the canon miss fired hit the plat form Samus was bound to, the energy beams faded away and Samus was free. Now there was only the matter of dealing with five pirates the small one collapsed dead on the floor and the elite was just getting up. The elite who just got up hit the other elite with the back of his fist and then he fired a couple blasts at his face, the other elite was now dead too. Samus thought o herself if this continues the base will destroy itself. The elite now turned its attention to the one that had hit it twice now. Odds were not in favour for the small one. It immediately massacred the small the small one and set attention on the one running away. Samus seized the opportunity and made a dash to get her gun back. She heard cries from the other small pirate. This only made her run faster she the gun and attached it. The pirate started to rush her. Her gun still needed time to charge. Using his over sized fist he hit the wall extremely hard and Samus narrowly dodged it. Her canon was now online and she fired a barrage of missiles at the elites head. Elites were usually harder to take down but this one was pretty easy because it was wounded. Samus entered the next room and saw what looked to be metroids.
