The Delano 7 was cruising when it hit a blue object.

Said blue object awoke and clung to the ship as Sylux wondered at the impact. He slowed, only for Dark Samus to tear out a hatch and enter.

(Such a scene is statistically unreasonable, but sacrifices must be made for the sake of the plot!)

As they argued about whose ship it was, they, to the envy of Stormtroopers, managed to also collide with a dark comet plummeting towards a planet.

When the comet, Gorea #2, also known as Elcnax, took offense, it was too late, and they entered the atmosphere. Landing in an ocean, they came to a stop nearby a coastline, with Elcnax ending up further down the coast.

Sylux, in the confusion, took off in his ship without Dark Samus, freaking out about the doppelgangers of two of his most terrifying foes.

Dark Samus proceeded to consume the nearby fauna in a rather Metroid-like fashion. As she rebuilt her energy stores, she noticed a commotion nearby. Hovering towards it, she was slightly curious at the ruckus.

Elcnax, having landed by a Space Pirate base, was busy assimilating their technology and feeding off their minds. Turning towards Dark Samus, it hesitated.

In the past, a short telepathic transmission from Gorea revealed the circumstances of its demise. Included were images of a certain armor clad hunter, who was in orange at the time. Still…

In a flash, Elcnax unleashed a volley of elemental pulses at Dark Samus. Growling, the dark doppelganger flipped away. Spotting the nearby Space Pirates, she assimilated their weaponry as well.

As the two clashed in the base, they blasted open a nearby wall. A roar resounded from within, but the two combatants paid little notice.

When a horde of zoomers, geemers, kihunters, and sidehoppers charged them, they grew a little annoyed.

When the tertiary Mother Brain came out, walking on two legs and drooling, they became slightly surprised.

A fiery orange pulse smashed Dark Samus aside. Gorea scorched Mother Brain with a series of Space Pirate wave beams. Mother Brain retaliated in kind, and Dark Samus rejoined the fray.

The Tertiary Brain, realizing it was on the losing side of the overwhelming fire power contest, activated a self-destruct mechanism for the area. It stomped over to a custom shuttle and blasted off.

Dark Samus followed in a Space Pirate fighter, with Elcnax following suit while shouting, "Chickens!" telepathically.

Unfortunately, they all managed to crash land on a cloaked Galactic Federation Space Station resembling a jug.


Meanwhile, stereotypical dumb Federation scientists landed on planet Aether to "observe" some technology.

When their space ships blasted off with a full cargo of Ing specimens, the scientists were left to awkwardly explain to the Luminoth what they were doing.

The autopilot sent the ships on a course with a certain space station.


MB sent her ship on a course with a space station known to contain Metroid DNA, plans already in motion.

Considering the dramatic irony at work, the plans aren't too important right now, so…


Samus, in an effort to relieve her boredom, followed a distress signal called "Toddler's whining" or something.

"I wonder if I'll see any Komaytos there?" she murmured, leaving Adam to blink like a giant centipede in the caverns of Zebes.

"Maybe one of my old bosses will have a cameo too!" Samus pondered.

Adam went into sleep mode to conserve his sanity.
