This is just a Prologue. Note that Zyrah isn't the main character. He plays a role. but this was just to introduce how new weapons were going to be made by the space pirates. I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and before the story begins, I would like to say that I do not own anything of Metroid. That means to say that I don't own Samus, Metroid, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, or anything else related to Metroid in gereal.

My first log book entry in a long time. But this situation was more...rememberal than the rest.. I was to help raid a Confederation transport ship but got too close to the nearby planet, Aether and was sucked into its mysterious purple storm. I landed on a strange technologically advanced area, with a long pit going a long way down.Separated from my crew, I needed my... stealth skills to help me avoid detection from the nearby guards. From scanning nearby log entries, I was able to confirm that a war was going on between two races called the Luminoth and the Ing, and the place I was in was what they call the "Sanctuary Fortress" (Doesn't seem like a sanctuary, seems more like a battlestation or something... Wait...Sanctuary...Yeah, a battlestation does suit it a way...) I was also able to retrieve some blueprints for the construction of a few of the "anti-Ing mechanoids". This race is beyond pirate technology! These Luminoth have invented and refined things out of items even I would have found obsolete to our skills! If we could learn how to use these techniques, we would be a step ahead of the human race! I was intrigued to pilfer some prints, and interrogate information on the nearest docking bay.
I managed to steal three blueprint packages: One for a robot called the Ingsmasher, and the mekenobite. The third one's blueprints were massive. This robot astonished me. I didn't want anyone to discover these. This robot was going to be built by me, and me only. I folded it and stuffed it into my ammo belt. I then took a sample of the hand weaponry and armor that these Luminoth used, and then stole some of its phazon mining instructions. I put them all in my small compression sphere, and searched for a way out.
I was in a place called Torvus Bog when I found my way out. I saw a Luminoth on the floor, being killed by those creatures. I had to help them, as I had to get out of this war-torn planet. There were two of those "Ing Warriors". The nearby pond provided some cover, since plants and rocks were on its shore. I took out my plasma-copied rifle, compliments to the hunter, charged it, and fired. The first one decimated into ashes before the Luminoth. The other turned its body, and launched itself at me. I was on the floor, with this creature on top of me, with its mouth wide open. I was barely saved by a beam of light hitting its rib area, allowing me to throw it off and incinerate it.
I looked at the Luminoth. He held his rifle in the air, breathing hard. "I…never would have…ex..ex..pected someone like a pirate…to save me…." he said, struggling to talk. "Don't worry, we're even. I'm sorry, but I must find a way out." I said, trying to smuggle a way out. "Heh…I am S-Dyl. I am more…knowledgeable than you think…. I know you're…just trying to be…polite…." he said, but blood was running down his mouth. I remained silent. Not to brag, but I actually respect the ones before and in death. "Heh…I like you…You aren't…. as those….other pirates and Ing…" He shuddered at the last word. He continued, "There is an air base….near the….c..canyon…. of the temple...grounds… It is…currently in use by humans…" I shuddered at the word human. "Thank you for your help. Do you wish for a proper burial? I can wait for your final moments to end." I said, trying to help him feel better. "No…. I…I.. will merge with the planet….. that has given me the chance to live. Just, do me…one…favor… Take this rifle, and charge it. Fire it towards the water, and throw this key into the purple portal that appears….Tha…nk…"
S-Dyl breathed his last, and passed on. I was quite touched with the moment. It was very ironic in a way. I payed my last regards, and then did as he said, and made my way to the temple grounds. All I needed was a map...
When I made it to the nearby entrance to the temple grounds, (without the use of a map, took me almost six hours) I noticed two ships aligned, and humans being attacked by those Ing creatures. That was my perfect opportunity. I ran towards the nearest ship, not caring if I was spotted, gettin' shot at least two to three times in the arm. I entered the ship, shot the federation soldiers and Ing inside of it, ran to the control area, and took off as fast as I could. It was hard for my ship to get out of that purple storm on the planets atmosphere, but I managed to make it out. At that same time, I noticed the Hunter's ship get dragged into the storm. It didn't really matter though, this ship was going to malfunction if I tried to hunt her down. I couldn't help but laugh though. The hunter out of all creatures, gettin' sucked into a planetary storm of who knows what. I made it out, and made my way towards the Space Pirate Stronghold.

I was successfully healed today, no problems arised. I was ready to go back into the next Echo assault area. Medical staff said that I am too fragile in my current condition, and I am also too valuable to lose as a soldier in general. That made me feel great. As humans say, "peachy perfect". I didn't care, I still went on the next raid.
I went to retrieve my bags and weaponry, and then made a personal visit to the Omega lounge. That is where I could find big boss, Ridley. I walked in the lounge. It was a large bright hallway. Giant space pirates were wrestling, and were drinking
human-made beer. I was puny compared to these beasts, like an ant to an average sized pirate. They all looked at me, walking towards the door to the Leader's Quarters. "Hey, shrimp! You aren't allowed in the leader's quarters!" Said one of the Omega Pirates, with a loud voice. I ignored him, and kept walking. He continued to yell "Heh, think you're pretty tough, eh? Lemme' show you tough!" He got up, and slammed his fists together. The room shook. I looked behind me, and took out my plasma-copied pistol. The Omega Pirate continued to yell "Little boy thinks he's big with his gun! Just a warning, I'm allowed to discipline shrimps like you if you get out of hand!" I then turned around. All the pirates in the room were looking at us. A giant, and a small speck of dust on the ground. "Heh…That may be, sworn brother, but you forget who I am." The pirate's eyes widened. "Sw…Sworn Brother! Die!" At that moment, I fired a shot right on his forehead. He fell back to the ground, and laid there motionlessly. The whole room was in terror; That's was I enjoy. I swirled my gun around my finer and put it back in my back pocket, and continued walking to the Leader's Quarters.
I entered. I felt like a thief, because it wasn't my way to go into the elite quarters and shoot one of my comrades down for no reason. It was againsed the rules to even enter the elite quarters anyways. Think of it as a thing of "knowing your place". I stared at our leader, face to face. "Who... on the pirate stronghold, do you think you are, killing one of your comrades, and barging into my royal chamber?" Said our leader, in anger. I then explained what happened on my latest quest, and told him what I managed to retrieve, without revealing the giant blueprints I discovered. He seemed quite astonished. I layed the items before him, stepped back, bowed, and walked away, as I shouldn't have stayed here long. The Omega chamber was still in a state of shock, and the Giant Pirate's body was being carried away on a giant stretcher. It was proably going to be cremated. I walked to the mission room to find out what my next mission was.

We have successfully routed the human residential colony of Deirisar. There were 6 injured, 3 of which are fatal 3 of which are not as fatal, and 2 casualties. High command tells us of a 12.8 kilometer phazon reserve running the planet. How these people learned to refine phazon into power is beyond our knowledge, but we must be sure that word doesn't get out.
We have been ordered to eliminate any hostile ships outside a 1,200 kilometer circumference of the area's gravitational pull. This should ensure that the neighboring planets would seem to be in charge of the disappearances. Stealth units are few, and they are quite slow, so we still must devise a plan that will last long enough before reinforcements arrive from high command.
Echo Team was to remain on the colony until further notice. I just got a personal message from high command telling me to return to base. This was what I was waiting for: A promotion. I lept into my stealth ship, and flew back to the command center.
