The world she entered was comprised of what seemed like a long tunnel cavern that seemed to have no end. Also, the entire place was dark, like Dark Aether, only the environment didn't seem to have any effect on her. She also heard what sounded like insane laughter emanating from all around her, as well as people screaming in fear. She also saw little coloured squares of light flashing all over the place. Samus cautiously walked down the path, for what seemed like an eternity before coming to a bend, turning right, & encountering a very twisted world. There was no true ground. Everywhere she looked she saw big black rocks with random objects on each rock floating in an endless sea of swirling black & blue. She then saw several rocks aligned to form a path. She decided to hop along them. She hopped along several rocks & stopped on a thick rock. On it appeared to be the corpse of some unidentifiable creature. It had 4 insect legs & its torso appeared to be an eyeball. Samus flicked on her & scanned the small 4-legged creature.
"Creature appears to have expired 1.4 centicycles ago. Injuries that lead to the it's death appear to be psychosomatic." Samus returned to normal visor & continued hopping along the rocks. She then came to a large rock big enough to hold a medium-sized house on it. After some walking, she ran into creatures that were of the same species of corpse she found earlier. She backed up a bit & switched on her scanner.
"Eyeclops. 4-legged denizen of alternate world. Relies heavily on sight to capture its prey." Samus returned to combat visor & blasted the freaks as they approached her & watched as they exploded into purple goo. After 6 were taken down, they stopped appearing. Then several rocks moved towards hers. However, they moved behind a big pile of rocks. Then, words started appearing on Samus' Visor.
"Use charge beam to destroy the rock pile." They spelled. Samus pointed her blaster at the rock pile, fired once, then started charging. After a while, she let the blast loose & destroyed the pile. She hopped up the pile to an old wooden door. She blasted it & it swung open. She walked through it & came to what looked like a dark hallway found in most abandoned houses. However, it was swirling so the floor was sideways, then upside-down. The walls were purple with what looked like bloodshot eyes looking at her. There were pictures of random frightening things. Including demons of all shapes & sizes, skeletons being devoured by insects, & demented clowns holding various bloody sharp objects. Once again, various screams emanated all around Samus. She walked down the hallway, & was surprised to find that she was actually staying on the floor as it started to curve onto the wall. As she kept walking, she walked on the ceiling. Then she found herself curving back to the ground. She fired at the door & it swung open. She entered yet another hallway. This particular hallway being perfectly straight & the walls having no portraits. However, as Samus walked down the hallway, she found it to be getting smaller. Then, words once again appeared on Samus' visor.
"Use morph ball to squeeze through tight spaces." They spelled. Samus crouched down & spun for a bit. Then she rolled toward the small door & bumped it. It went open & Samus rolled out of the small door onto the floor. She rolled over to a small pile of rocks & more words appeared on her visor.
"Use morph ball bomb to destroy rocks." They spelled. Samus rolled over to the pile of rocks & produced a small crackling ball of electricity. She rolled away from it & it exploded, causing the rocks to fly everywhere. She rolled through the small hole & came out in a huge desolate emptiness. The entire area was void of anything. Plus, sitting across the void from her, was the only other rock, with a door on it. Words once again appeared on her visor.
"Use Screw attack to get across deep chasms." They spelled. Samus walked up to the edge of the rock & looked down at the bottomless fall below her. She stared at it for a while, then across to the other rock. She took a few steps back, then ran forward & leapt into the air. She then did a double-jump, followed by a screw attack, which propelled her forward. She did another, & another. After 5 screw attacks, Samus made it to the other side of the area. She looked at the door & blasted it. It swung right open & Samus walked through into a room that was like the inside of a medium-sized cave. She was then confronted by what looked like 2 black skulls with glowing red eyes. They looked at her, & after a paused, shrieked like banshees. Samus stood her ground as the force of the blast nearly sent her off her feet. Samus then switched to her scanning visor & scanned the creatures.
"Dark Skull. Denizen of alternate world. Uses telepathy to move around & is able to disable its prey with a deafening supersonic shriek, then it will zap its prey with lasers it emits from its eyes." Samus then returned to her normal point of view with the combat visor as the skulls shrieked. Samus blocked the shriek & hit 1 of the skulls with a power shot. After several more shots, the skull exploded & produced a small floating purple orb with rings around it like Saturn's. She then turned to the other skull. It hit her with a supersonic shriek & stunned Samus. Samus could only watch as the skull then produced 2 small red beams of energy from its eyes & hit Samus with them, damaging her suit in the process. It shook Samus free of the stun, though, & Samus took this opportunity to hit the skull with several power shots. It then exploded & produced its own little purple orb. Samus switched to her scan visor & scanned 1 of them.
"Mini energy orb. Recovers 10 units of energy." Samus charged up her blaster & drew the energy orbs toward her like a magnet. They both hit her & recovered her suit. She then walked up to the door & scanned it.
"The door appears to be locked under several chains. Severe hit could destroy the lock." Samus returned to the combat visor, then some words appeared on her visor.
"Use missiles to destroy the locks on the door." They spelled. Samus pointed at the door & launched a single missile at it. It exploded upon impacting the door & the chains & lock exploded & shattered off the door as the "unlocked a door" music from Metroid Prime played. The door then opened & Samus walked through. She appeared to be on a small balcony in a dark, sinister dining room. She walked up to the guardrail & placed her hand on it as she looked down & saw a table with a white tablecloth over it. Samus could see that the tablecloth was obviously neglected & abused. It was covered in filth & was torn near the bottom. The fine china plates on it were all grimy & covered in the remains of some meals. There were chicken bones on the plates, some on the floor, & others on the tablecloth. Another thing Samus saw was that the tablecloth had several large blood splatters all over it. Some had dripped on the floor & left a trail going off in away from the table. Samus also saw that the chairs around the table were either toppled on their side, or simply moved out of alignment of the table. All around Samus saw that the table's surroundings were in much batter shape, such as china cabinets with china still inside, tables with doilies on them, even more demonic portraits. Samus then looked in the left corner farthest from her & saw a small hole in the floor. Almost instantly, the floor around the hole started to crack, making the hole bigger. Eventually, the entire floor & the first few inches of the lower wall burst into huge wood pieces. Everything down there, the big table, the chairs, the cabinets, & the smaller tables were sucked down into a dark purple swirling oblivion, only the portraits hung on the walls were out of harm's way. Samus stepped back a bit to avoid the feeling of being pulled down into the oblivion with the furniture. She looked a bit, then saw 2 chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. She then scanned 1 of them.
"Chandelier appears to have a pattern that would make an ideal hook." Samus returned to the combat visor & words appeared on the visor.
"Use the grappling hook to swing across on the chandeliers." They spelled. Samus aimed her grappler at the closest chandelier & swung on it. She swung to the other chandelier & grabbed onto it. She swung across THAT chandelier to the small balcony on the other side of the room. She let go of the chandelier & walked up to the door. It was a set of double-doors blocked by a large boulder chained to the doors. Samus switched to the scan visor & scanned the door.
"Large boulder is blocking the door. Large explosion could shatter the rock & chains." Samus returned to the combat visor & words appeared on her visor.
"Use Super missile to break boulder." They spelled. Samus shot the rock with a power shot, then proceeded to charge her blaster. Then, the energy vanished into the blaster as a missile was fired, taking the energy with it, hitting the rock & basically blowing it up. The double doors were shot open & Samus walked through to a stairwell, with no stairs. Samus looked down & saw that the lower part of the room was completely non-existant, as if it was ripped from the top & sucked down into the oblivion. Samus looked down into the swirling purple & black oblivion. After a while of looking, Samus began to search for an alternate pathway. She then saw a vent with a grate over it big enough for the morph ball to fit in. She then scanned the grate.
"Grate appears to be made out of Denzium." Samus returned to the combat visor & words appeared on it in front of her eyes.
"Use Power bomb to break through Denzium grate." They spelled. Samus rolled up into a ball & rolled over to the vent. She planted a power bomb & a huge blinding light appeared instantly. It spread out from the blast, destroying the grate. Once the blast subsided, Samus rolled into the vent & turned right. She followed in as it twisted left & right, then she came out in a small hallway with tall double-doors on the side opposite the side she was on. She rolled out of morph ball mode & stood up. She walked down the 2 foot long hallway to the double-doors & shot them, making them lurch open. Samus walked into the high-ceilinged, red-walled room & came into contact with the small boy she saw outside the Harshom house, only he was not transparent, but solid. He was huddling under a large cloaked man. The man stood at least 8 feet tall & was wearing a black cloak with buttons going down it, & Samus could see gray wrinkled hands sticking out of the sleeves. He had on dark gray pants, though Samus could only see the lower half of his shins, & some black shoes. He had a dark hat on. He turned to face Samus. His face was nearly invisible under a big scraggy beard. All she could see was his nose, eyes, & forehead. His skin was very gray & his yellow eyes were filled up with anger & hate. He stared at Samus.
"Ah." The man said. "If it isn't the galaxy's most famous bounty hunter, Samus Aran. Have you some to my world to get the children?"
"You catch on quick." Samus said, aiming her blaster right at the man. The man slowly started walking towards Samus.
"Well, Samus." He said. "It saddens me to say this, but I'm afraid I cannot permit you to take naughty children away. Not until they've learned their lesson." Samus looked over at the boy, who was very frightened.
"He looks like he's learned his lesson to me, sir." Samus said, keeping her blaster trained on the approaching man.
"Not likely." He said. "He will never learn his lesson, so he must stay here permanently. You however, must leave."
"Not without the boy." Samus said, keeping her blaster on the man. He opened his hand towards Samus & a beam of white light came out. It passed Samus & opened up a portal behind her. She looked back at the portal, then at the man.
"Leave!" The man ordered. Then he built up a large amount of electric light energy at Samus & released it at her. "NOW!" He shouted as he released the large ball. It made direct contact with Samus & knocked her off her feet, right into the portal.
