Shortly after Samus left the colony, it fell victim to a Space Pirate raid. Receiving a distress signal, Samus returned to the station and witnessed [[Ridley]] escape with the Hatchling. Returning to Zebes, there Samus encounter failed clones of Metroids that were far weaker. After making her way into the new [[Tourian]], she destroyed the successfully cloned Metroids gathered there and eventually encountered the Hatchling, this time far larger. It drained Samus's energy leaving it at critical levels before recognizing her and leaving. It reappeared again, just as [[Mother Brain]] was about to kill Samus and sacrificed itself to save her. | Shortly after Samus left the colony, it fell victim to a Space Pirate raid.

Later Samus was on a mission to SR388, where she was attacked by an X that infected her, the Federation saved her with a vaccine made from Metroid DNA that had been acquired from the Hatchling. It allowed her to absorb any free-floating X but also made her inherit the Metroids' vulnerability to extreme cold.

It allowed her to absorb any free-floating X but also made her inherit the Metroids' vulnerability to extreme cold. Shortly afterward she learned that the Federation had a Metroid breeding program aboard the X-infested [[Biologic Space Labs Research Station|Biologic Space Labs research station]]. After moving the station in the path of SR388 in an attempt to eradicate all X aboard the station, before she could make it to her ship she was attacked by an Omega Metroid that was immune to all her weapons. Before the Metroid could finish Samus off, an [[SA-X|X copy of Samus]] attacked the Metroid but was quickly defeated. Samus then absorbed the X regaining her Ice Beam ability that she used to destroy the Omega Metroid. After the station impacted SR388, the remaining Metroids aboard the station were destroyed. Samus is now the only remaining living life-form with Metroid DNA in her. However, the Galactic Federation could have harvested more DNA from the [[Metroid Hatchling]] Samus obtained on SR388. Or perhaps not all Metroids are exterminated on SR388. | ||
