After being evacuated from Earth, refugees on K-2L face the new Pirate threat, and must once again flee for their safety. Sergeant Cornell Rice, who organized the escape from Earth, is now in charge of Federation reinforcements to help delay the impending raid on K-2L. But the challenge he faces is much greater than he first imagined, as the Pirates prove to be too strong for the Federation, and as a result, many people, including Rice, are left behind on the foresaken planet. Now, he must find a way to elude the enemy, along with two other civilians, one of whom is a little girl who might just be the long awaited descendant of an Ancient Creator's Prophecy. Hunted by Armies, creatures, and even a hellbent Assasin who will kill the descendant at any cost, they must struggle to stay alive, and find a way off of K-2L before the Pirates send it into an eternal winter. A wholly comprehensive origin story, it not only tells the origin of Samus, but also the origin of the Space Pirates, the Metroids, the Galactic Federation, and the reason they fight one another. Also includes Adam as a rookie officer before he commanded Samus, and Weavel from Metroid Prime: Hunters.
Author's Notes:
First off, I just want to make sure you don't dismiss this as another cliche origin story. It is far more than that. It centers, not so much on Samus, but mostly on a collective group of people who share the same ideology, and sense of hope, that one day life will go back to the way it once was on Earth, before the Fall of Man. I try my best to stay within the continuity of the videogames, and I try to incorporate as many characters as I can. I used the encyclopedia entry for Metroid on to organize most of the coninuity conflicts. I also have written the story in Novel format with many intertwining stories and side conflicts. That doesn't mean its going to be as long as a novel though. You don't have the time to read it, and I don't have the time to write it. If I had to compare this story to something similar, or in the same style, I would say its written much like a Dan Brown novel. Dan Brown uses alot of suspense, mystery, and unconventional thinkiing to keep his reader's glued to the pages, like in the Da Vinci Code. So if you like saying "No way, I never thought about it like that!" then I think you'll like this story.
