Fire crackled and smoke hazed from the many colony buildings of 8W-2. Men, women, and children

screamed in terror as Space Pirates raided their once peaceful homes. Those who attempted to

save what they have built were ended swiftly without a tickle of mercy. While crab-like monstrosities

pillaged the homes and streets like a banquet of rubble and gore, the winged Lord crawled on all fours,

hissing out a steam of white hot fire upon the waste of human life around them.

Thanks to the smoke-blotted air above the meek mining colony, none of the heartless raiders could see

the orange ship soar down from the infinite space and into a place to deploy the pilot.

Samus left her ship to witness another catastrophe done to a bundle of innocent colony people. With

her arm cannon ready, Samus used her suit to sprint abnormally fast for any human being, all the way

into the heat of battle.

What was at first a grim celebration amongst the space pirates quickly became a run for their rations as

the destroyer of Zebes lunged in to crash the party. As a side effect of Samus's efforts, green blood

matted over the stains of red human blood that had been splattered there previously.

These space pirates may have been the same from Zebes, but Samus noticed that these ones behaved

far more different than last she had encountered them. Without their fortresses and prime access to

advanced arsenals, they were but scavengers driven by desperation. Pride cometh, after all, before the

fall.

When the screams of dying Pirates faded from the ears of Samus Aran, a higher pitched, human scream

cut into her eardrum. With absurd speed, the orange warrior jolted towards the sound of the scream to

witness a mirror to the past.

A ferocious dragon zeroed in on what it may have considered a humorous gesture. A mother stood

between the Space Pirate lord and her own little son. A mother willing to sacrifice herself so her child

may live another day. The narrow snouted monster chuckled before rising up on its forelegs, ready to

let out a gust of hellfire onto damned souls.

The warrior raised in the chozo arts intervened, commencing another clash between the unbeaten

knight and the heartless phoenix.
