Coded Messages: Ridley's Plea

by theclownsarethere

After the events of metroid 1, Ridley reaches out to Samus in an attempt to break free of mother brain during her second uprising. This piece is told in a series of e-mail like messages between the two as they battle away, but come to a greater understanding of each other.

2. Chapter 2

From Samus Aran.

To: Ridley.

Subject: Lying Failure.

I don't know how you traced me or sent that message; but I'm warning you, whoever you are, stay away. Ridley and Mother Brain are dead at my hands, their space pirate forces depleted, and the planet Zebes returned to a more natural state of unique beauty.

Now I don't know why you contacted me, but whoever you are, stay away and don't contact me again with any sort of prank like this.

Besides Ridley was not a creature capable of remorse or sentient thought. Ridley was merely a devilish beast I finally slayed for the sake of the galactic federation and my long dead parents who he brutally murdered; not to mention the countless others who suffered death at his tenacious claws. But I had the glory, the privilege, to watched the light fade from his evil eyes as his remains splattered across his once sacred lair. Ridley is dead and he won't be coming back.

So heed my warning and leave me alone. If this even were Ridley I'd tell him he isn't worthy of forgiveness or any morsel of kindness. That's a right he sacrificed long ago with his alliance with mother brain, and the murder of thousands of innocent people.
