Well, that's it. Hope you all liked it. The purpose of this fanfiction was twofold: First of all, I wanted to perfect my cliffhanger technique. Second of all, I wanted to present my own theories to many of the different mysteries in the Metroid universe, most of all, how Samus could become a cold-blooded killer, having no qualms about entering a space pirate base and killing hundreds of pirates.
Anyway, any more reviews which require a reply will be answered as a review. Thanks a lot for reading, and stay tuned for the sequel!
Afterword
Unbeknownst to Samus, after three long cycles, the chozo would lose their war against the space pirates. The pirates' commanders were far too cunning, and much more experienced than those of the chozo people. The pirates were brutal, and were willing to take risks with their own troops that the chozo were not willing to take. The pirates eventually hunted down and killed all of the chozo on the planet, effectively making them an endangered species (as the only other known chozo colony now lived on the planet Tallon IV.) The pirates claimed the planet as their own, eventually using it as their new headquarters.
Upon nearing the space station Ceres, a gigantic station built on an asteroid for scientific research, Samus was stopped by the Galactic Federation police. They recognized the pirate craft and were preparing for a fight, but when they heard Samus' story, they took her to the planet Enlyst and she moved into a large city there. After some time, she managed to settle in, and found a new life as a bounty hunter, searching for the galaxy's most unsavory denizens with her trusty chozo-made power suit.
And the rest, as you know, is history.
