33. Chapter 33

Message #33.

To: Samus Aran.

From: Ridley.

Subject: Who I Truly Am.

I have had enough of you bounty hunter. So you want to know what I really think huh? Well here it is, you're pathetic.

When I first saw you you were 3 years old and I slaughtered everyone you knew and loved right before your eyes and you didn't do a thing. It felt good to sink my talons into their flesh, it felt good to kill all of them.

But this isn't something I am proud of. I don't like what happened, I was consumed with rage in the moment of chaos and destruction; I didn't mean to kill all of them, I didn't mean to kill at all.

Whatever the case you survive and went on to kill me and my people as you took your revenge. Now you aim to do the same again not for justice but for blood. Enough has already been spilled, so why not end this before losses mount higher on both sides?

Ridley: Just a fellow.
