Note* this is my first fanfic but I would like it to be rated honestly (suggestions would be nice)
Metroid 5
Prologue: The Lone Warrior▓s Story
It has been 3 days since Samus Aran, the bounty hunter imbued with Chozo and, now Metroid DNA, Destroyed the Galactic Federation▓s research station, destroying the parasitic life forms known as the X, and saving the universe from what could have been the Galactic federation▓s biggest mistake. Samus, forever altered by the Metroid DNA now coursing through her body, knew what the X were capable of and had tried to persuade her ship▓s CPU to ignore its orders and let her destroy the satellite, and her if she had to. Her ship then revealed itself to have the same personality as Samus▓s former commander, Adam, after Samus had called him by his name. He told her that simply destroying the satellite would not be enough, she would also have to destroy the planet SR388 if she hoped to completely eradicate them.
Samus set the station on a crash course after defeating her mirror, one of the 16 SA-X that had copied her and her bionic power suit, and encountered one of the fiercest forms of Metroid known, the Omega breed. The Omega Metroid, having been recreated by a project the Federation had ongoing at the station, that Samus had destroyed, was to strong for her to defeated and was about to deliver the final blow when the SA-X arrived and started to attack the Omega Metroid until it was struck and changed into its actual X form. Samus then absorbed The SA-X and regained her fully powered suit, complete with the ice beam that destroyed the Omega. Something that should not have happened, according to the Federation.
Samus▓s ship arrived and she escaped the station shortly before impact on the planets surface. She wondered how Adam had escaped the ship, for he could not operate without something to start his thrusters manually. He told her that the Echnids and Dendurons, seemingly cuddly creatures with an impressive intelligence, helped him. They had shown Samus how to perform abilities she hadn▓t know she possessed before, like her wall jump or her ability the practically fly with a shine spark. She knew that she owed them now for saving her life, much the same as the ⌠Super Metroid■ that▓s DNA saved her from a painful death at the hands of the X.
She piloted her ship to a planet at the edge of the Federation▓s control to recuperate and reflect on what had happened to her, and what repercussions she would face because of it. The Galactic Federation would not look highly on these events, as they had hoped to research the X. The Metroid in her, seemingly weaker now that she had her power suit fully powered, made her crave the life force of the beings around her. She hadn▓t felt this hunger at the station because she was constantly absorbing the X and their energy. But now that she had destroyed them she was starting to hunger for it.
Chapter 1
Samus, on the planet of Alderon in the outskirts of the Galaxy, had found a bar filled with several of the galaxies worst criminals. Fortunately there were no Space Pirates as they had a bitter rivalry with her and promised a high bounty to whoever could bring her head to them. She was running low on supplies and money, and needed a job.
She had removed her Power Suit so she wouldn▓t attract unwanted attention and had her stun pistol on her. She was wearing her Zero Suit, a full body, skin tight, blue jumpsuit that she always wore under her Power Suit. It was stretchy and had a symbol on her back that gave off a faint pulse every few minutes. The surprising thing her were the spikes on her arm, a tribute to her Metroid DNA. She did not know if they had any use and found them to be highly flexible, though they would not bend enough to allow her to cover them up with her clothing without bandaging them, an extremely uncomfortable and cumbersome move. Her stunning almost golden hair that fell to the middle of her back perfectly accented he azure blue eyes, and seamed to almost glow with luster, attracting almost every man in the room to her on sight.
She made her way to the bar and ordered a drink, as she listened to the talk around her. It wasn▓t long until she heard about someone bragging about the bounty on his head, an amazing $1,000,000! He was tall with a slight tan, black hair and hazel eyes. His nose was a little pointed, and he had slightly bush eyebrows. She made her way over to him and started up a conversation.
⌠That▓s some bounty handsome,■ she started, flirting with the man.
⌠You wouldn▓t believe how I got it if I told you,■ he man said rather smugly.
⌠You▓d be surprised at what I can and can▓t believe■
⌠It▓s a long story, I wouldn▓t want to bore you,■ the man stated.
⌠I have time,■ Samus said as she finished her drink.
⌠Well in that case, I would say you need another drink before I start. Barkeep, get this fine girl another round.■
⌠Certainly sir,■ replied the barkeep fixing the drink. ⌠Here you go.■
⌠So what was your name again,■ asked the man.
⌠I never said. You can call me Clara,■ replied Samus, hiding her identity.
⌠Well Clara, long story short, I stole some things from the Feds and they want me dead because of it.■
Samus remembered hearing about someone stealing a prototype ship and armor the Federation had made that resembled her own. The Federation had found only one piece of evidence from the thief, a note that said nothing but Sylux. She had found, and fought, him after being ordered by the federation to find and obtain the ⌠ultimate power.■ Failing to do that she must destroy it, which she did along with the entity that remained with it.
⌠I remember hearing something about that,■ Samus stated. ⌠They only found one clue as to who did it, though they never said what it was.■
⌠Oh? I didn▓t know they went public about it. I thought they kept it on a need to know basis,■ stated the man.
Realizing he was right Samus quickly covered her tracks. ⌠They just let people know a few days ago, they must be getting desperate. So what is your name?■
⌠Oh? Mine name is Sylux. What▓s wrong Clara?■ Samus had just gasped at the name.
⌠Oh nothing, I just saw someone that doesn▓t like me much.■
⌠Who is it,■ questioned Sylux.
⌠Oh, they just left,■ she stated.
⌠Oh. Too bad then, I was hoping for some action.■
Just then a horde of Space Pirates broke through the door. What looked to be the commander yelled out in a rather poor attempt at the common language, ⌠All right, I know she is in here. Bring Samus Aran to me or I will burn the place to the ground.■
⌠Samus? Here? What would someone as high as her be doing here,■ someone shouted. One of the pirates after receiving a nod from his commander jumped over to him and knocked him out.
⌠Samus, You have ten seconds to reveal yourself or this man dies,■ the commander said. Samus, upon hearing this, pulled out her pistol and shot the commander square between the eyes, a week point in the armor for space pirates. The shot didn▓t kill him but knocked him out instantly.
She then jumped over everyone and made a break for the door. The Pirates, momentarily confused as their commander hit the ground quickly started to block the door. Samus was too far to get there in time and instead knocked a hole in the wall and ran to her ship. The Dendurons and Echnids were playing in front of her ship. Samus yelled at them to get it ready.
They looked up and saw the space pirates chasing after Samus and ran for the ship quickly starting it up. It was ready just as Samus got there, and started taking off. Samus powered on the shields and fired a rocket at the oncoming Pirates, scattering and killing more than a few of them.
It was then that she noticed a small lock-jaw pin on her shoe. She pulled it off and had Adam scan it. ⌠It seams to be some sort of galactic Federation Tracking device, Lady,■ the ship said.
⌠Seems my friend down there didn▓t want to lose me after all,■ said Samus. ⌠Adam could you take me to the Galactic Federation▓s home base now?■
⌠Are you sure that is what you want? You did after all destroy their prized research station, not to mention the X,■ Adam said.
⌠I know. I just feel now is the right time to visit them,■ stated Samus.
⌠Whatever you say, Lady,■ Adam replied.
Just then the ship was struck by a large blast of energy, killing several of her ship's functions instantly.
⌠ARGHH, they followed me.■
