Bonus Section: Story Calendar of The Other Amy
Note: For any new readers who feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of chapters in this epic, I've created a handy time chart right here so you can keep the events straight. (This was actually really helpful for me too, especially when it came time to writing Act 2: Chozo Wisdom.) If you wanted to read the ending instead, go back one chapter, okay?
Events prior to the series. I understand that the days of the week for 2010 and 2510 may not match up perfectly...but in this case, they do.
August 23, 2499: Auto kicks the scientists off the Axiatomic Link, either onto the dark Planet Portania, or a deserted asteroid.
May 24, 2509: Zoroark gets kicked off Planet Portania.
May 20, 2510: The ending of Metroid Fusion. Samus and Adam crash the Biologic Space Labs research station into Planet SR-388 to avert the first chance for the X Parasites to take over the galaxy.
May 25, 2510: Zoroark ends up on Planet SR-388 and meets Queen X for the first time. When Kel-Zich-X comes from the future to warn them about their defeat in the future, they immediately make plans to take over the galaxy...and ensure that no one who can control the universe can mess them and Queen X infiltrate Galactic Federation Headquarters, knock out Commander Tierney, and change Samus' employment status from fired to still hired. Then they go and take over the Space Pirate Homeworld.
May 26—June 21, 2510: Preparations for the evil plans!
June 22, 2510: Samus completes the mission to blow up the Space Pirates' hastily-constructed new hideout on Planet Ceres. But on the way back, she and Adam fall into the Pirates' trap; a wormhole leading straight to Planet Portania 500 years into the past!

That's about it! I hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I was so glad I was finally able to conclude the saga of the awesome bounty hunter Samus Aran AND the story of Team Pecha! It was valuable practice for storywriting and that sort of thing, so I think I'll focus on original stories from now on. Of course, if I get any other story ideas for fanfiction, I'll continue to post them up. But for now, as Samus Aran would say...
See You Next Mission!
This is AmyDonovan525, over and out!
