Celia piloted the Gunship to the new Ceres Space Station, rebuilt after the Ridley attack.
"How could Ridley be alive?", she wondered.
"Samus killed him and killed his clones. Why won't this pterodactyl just stay dead?"
Once she arrived at the Space Station, Samus came back into consciousness.
"What? Where am I? Why am I wearing the Zero Suit?"
"You tried to blow up the Subspace Bomb, you did it too late, some leaked out, destroyed your suit, and gave you bad PTSD. No adventuring or bounty hunting until you fully recover. Doctor's Orders. Not Master or Crazy Orders."
Samus asked "Why are we heading to the space station then?"
"Ridley appeared, remember? You should've killed all his clones, and we need to find out how Ridley can be at the Midair Stadium and dead at the same time.", Celia told her.
The Gunship flew in low and arrived at the Space Station. The two girls walked out of the ship and into the Space Station.
Once they arrived, the scientists started working hard on checking to see if Ridley and all clones of him were truly dead.
"They should be dead. There's something strange going on here. Something involving a force that can bring Ridley back to life. If you can come up with what that is, we can help figure out whom created and is controlling the monster we have dubbed New Ridley.", the scientist gave the assessment.
"What could be bringing Ridley back to life?", Celia wondered.
"I know! Strike a course for Subspace. I need to speak to a certain blue someone.", Samus told Celia mysteriously.
Mega Man was relaxing with Roll, Rush, Eddy, Beat, and Tempo after yet another hectic adventure, this time not even involving Robot Masters. He had just returned from a Subspace Bombed stadium via Rush Adapter, and was starting to relax when Doctor Light came into the house and said; "Two people here to see you. Say they need to know about robotics."
Mega Man answered the door and was surprised to see a de-suited Samus and a girl who would be a few years older than him if he was an organic being, which he wasn't.
"Hello. What do you want to know about robotics? Why do you want to know it? If you say to create an army of eight evil robots, which will destroy the world while you wait in a fortress, I will fry you with a Charge Shot."
"We want to know about the specifics if changing an organic being into a cyborg, and how long dead they can be before they're revived. We need to know because an evil pterodactyl has been revived from death, and we think Dr. Wily may be behind it.", Samus told the robot.
"Whoa. That's a good reason. Okay, I'll bring Dr. Light out, and he can state you some facts."
Dr. Light did state some facts to them. This is what he told them: "Any organic being can be changed into a cyborg as long as you have the right robotic parts to replace the organic parts. The internal organs need to be kept, such as the nervous, circulatory, respiratory, immune, urinary, and digestive systems. As long as the brain hasn't gone dead from not enough blood, the organic being can be revived."
"Ridley could have been blown off Zebes when it exploded, and he could have had his brain still working floating in space. Dr. Wily could have found him and revived him using cyborg body parts. Thanks for the info. Now we have to go storm Dr. Wily's Castle. Any help your robots give us will be appreciated.", Samus told Dr. Light.
"I'll send Mega Man and Rush. That should be all you need."
This chapter we find out Ridley was re-created by Dr. Wily. Or was he? Find out soon by reading the next chapters.
