Chapter 1: The machine

Location: Unknown

A figure, dawned in a full black robe, entered the dark room. Inside was a machine, a complex computer hooked up to a stasis cylinder. At the controls was a freak of nature. It had a long neck, 2 heavy turrets on its back, and a bird like helmet. The cloaked figure bent down and kneeled before the creature. "I trust everything went well?" Ollran asked.

"Yes." The cloaked figure said. "David won't be in the way anymore." They both chuckled. "Now may I ask why I have been summoned?"

"Well, as you know, the Soul Guardians have overcome and wiped the all powerful Lord Sicron from the face of the Void. Well this machine is going to change that. When I escaped with only my Metroid brain I went for a special experiment that I had heard of. After dispatching the scientists I used the power of the machine to make a new body for me…similar to my old one…do you like it?" Ollran asked grinning.

"It fits you." The hidden figure said with his cold voice.

"Anyway, when I was finally able to rebuild and attach my fusion blasters that are on my back. I looked in on how my master was doing. Turns out the damn Soul Guardians had destroyed him by that time. It was then I remembered what the machine did for me. I began to do bio research on my master. Now I have assembled almost his entire genetic code! And with it, I will use this machine to revive my great master Lord Sicron." Ollran announced proudly.

"What do I have to do with this?" The figure asked without moving.

"Well, as you see, I'm not fit to fight someone like a Soul Guardian… so I need you to do the dirty work."

"What do I get out of it?"

"Whatever you wish."

"2 things… I want to learn everything Lord Sicron knows… and I want a higher position than you."

"Seeing as I'm a follower not a leader, I can easily agree to both demands." The cloaked figure chuckled and moved for the first time, he raised his head to see the creature before him.

"What do you need from me?" Black Phoenix said smiling.

"Glad you asked. I purposely left out a piece of Sicrons genetic code so I could make room for something Sicron has been trying to get his hands on for more than 500 years. Go back to the temple of Soul Guardians…and bring me the blood of that bitch, Aileta…"
