=== Prologue === | |||
After [[Samus Aran|Samus]] completed her mission and eradicated the entire [[Metroid]] population on [[SR388]] in [[Metroid II: Return of Samus]] assigned by the [[Galactic Federation]] and found the [[Hatchling]], which she nicknamed [[Baby]], she brought it to the [[Ceres Space Colony]] for research. However, shortly after she left, she received a distress signal from the Station and returned to investigate. She approaches the [[Space Science Academy]] where the Baby was being studied and find all the scientists slaughtered and the containment unit that held the Baby was gone. Upon further exploration of the Station, she find the Baby in a small capsule with it inside. As she approaches, [[Ridley]] appears and grabs the capsule. After a short battle, Samus repels Ridley and he begins a countdown to destroy Ceres. After escaping the explosion, Ridley flees to [[Zebes]] and Samus goes after him. | |||
=== Zebes === | |||
As [[Samus Aran|Samus]] lands on Zebes, she explores the surface of the planet, known as [[Crateria]], and heads deeper into the planet. She finds old base of [[Tourian]], which was destroyed after Samus defeated [[Mother Brain]] during her [[Metroid (game)|last visit]], has been completely rebuilt and [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]] have resurfaced their activities on Zebes. Samus heads deeper still back into [[Brinstar]] to explore, and upon returning, she find [[Zebesian|Zebesians]] all over the rebuilt Tourian base. As Samus moves farther along, she unknowingly finds the entrance to the "new" Tourian, which is blocked by golden statues of [[Kraid]], [[Ridley]], [[Crocomire]], and [[Phantoon]], all of which shine with gemstones that only vanish once Samus has defeated the respective bosses in their domains. | |||
Samus sets out to find all her original [[Upgrade|upgrades]] from [[Metroid (game)||Metroid]] as well as some new ones that help her along her way. She encounters numerous enemies barring her way to find the four guardians. She finds Kraid, who was one of the guardians of "old" [[Tourian]] and has rebuilt his lair, which takes up a large part of [[Brinstar]] and defeats him to claim the [[Varia Suit]] as her own. She then makes her way to the [{Wrecked Ship]] and finds Phantoon, who has shut off the power supply to the ship, making progress impossible until she defeats him. She then takes the [[Gravity Suit]] from a storage room in the Ship. After making her way through the Wrecked Ship and it's mazes, she finds her way into the submerged [[Space Pirate]] research facility in [[Maridia]]. After moving through Maridia, Samus find many more upgrades and makes her to [[Ridley's Lair]] in [[Norfair]]. Along the way, Samus find the [[Mochtroid|Mochtroids]], the products of the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates']] failed experiment to clone [[Metroid|Metroids]] for use as bioweapons. She annihilates them and continues her quest to make her way into "new" Tourian. | |||
=== Tourian === | |||
After defeating all the guardians, Samus sets off to return to "new" Tourian's gateway. She enters the facility and finds real [[Metroid|Metroids]] down there, that attack her on site. After delving deep into Tourian, she kills all the Metroids and gets close to the end of the facility, she enter a room and finds the broken capsule she last saw containing the Hatchling on the [[Ceres Space Colony]] and encounters a [[Baby|very large Metroid]], much larger than any Metroid she ever encountered in any of her travels across the universe. After draining the energy of a few creatures in the room, the Metroid moves in Samus and begins draining her energy. By the time it recognizes Samus as its mother as seen in the ending the [[Metroid II: Return of Samus|previous game]], Samus only has one unit of health left. The Baby feels disgraced for attacking it's adopted mother and flies off shrieking. Samus, barely able to even stand, finds an energy recharge station and re-energizes herself. | |||
She continues on and confronts [[Mother Brain]] yet again. She destroys Mother Brain's control unit and it appears to be defeated, but it moves back into another room, and attaches itself to a giant, bipedal mechanical body that it can control freely. After dealing damage to it, Samus is overpowered by Mother Brain's Hyper Beam attack. As Samus in on the verge of death, Mother Brain rears back to deliver the death blow, but is stopped by the Baby, who rushes in an absorbs it's energy. After apparently depleting Mother Brain's energy, the Baby releases its hold on Mother Brain, and it falls to the floor, gray and lifeless, the same fate of the creatures it attacked earlier in Tourian. The Baby then attached to Samus, who feared death from her own adopted child. But the Baby did not take the last of Samus' energy, it instead delivered the energy it stole from Mother Brain into Samus' body, completely recharging and energizing Samus like never before. During this time, Mother Brain miraculously recovers its energy and commences attack the Baby. After releasing Samus, the Baby reared back for one final attack, intent on destroying Mother Brain, but Mother Brain delivered one final attack and killed the Baby, effectively making the Metroid race extinct. | |||
Samus, who is now glowing and pulsating with the energy given to her by the Baby, knows she possesses the power to defeat Mother Brain. A fierce, final battle ensues, and Samus easily defeats Mother Brain using the [[Hyper Beam]]. Samus destroyed Mother Brain once and for all. | |||
After exploding, a countdown begins until "new" Tourian explodes. Racing for her life, Samus runs through hidden passages in Tourian and [[Crateria]] and makes her way back to her [[Samus' Gunship|Gunship]]. As she leaves [[Zebes]], the planet explodes with violent force and nothing is left behind, all the Metroids in the universe are dead, as is Zebes, the origin of the [[Chozo]] and the place where Samus was raised until she was mature enough to venture off on her own. | |||
Samus falls into a state of mental instability in [[Metroid: Other M]], which immediately follows the events of Super Metroid. | |||
