METROID DEPTHS

After the events of the corruption; i spent my hours in the cosmos reminiscing of the previous overtures; i had minor injuries from the events that past but it didn't bother me ;just stood in the seat glancing out my front view at the stars, totally unaware of what was behind me. Suddenly the panels at the bottom of the ship stopped; the ship started shaking and racking back and forth,i kept balance and concentrated to get the varia suit on, eventually the ship crashed onto a desolate planet, the landscape was dried,ugly, and hot to the touch. I noticed my health was declining fast; i rushed into the cave where it was mid temperature, when i got my composure back i stood direction over to the ship and let out a sigh of relief, the ship was damaged but not destroyed so it could still fly at least. Most of my weapons and items were missing so i understood why the suit started overheating the way it did. I wanted to leave but my curiosity got the best of me; i needed to see what existed on this hellish landscape, not to mention i saw that unidentified ship that shot me down and it did look familiar; that bluish, greenish tent did spark a memory i faced before but i still couldn't remember entirely. My first few minutes in the cave were all but interesting, just like surface and the feel of the outside, it was damp and dry, most of the time i heard some strange whispering coming from the walls to ground to the cracks into those odd statues from time to time. small insect like creatures formed around me; i pointed my cannon in their direction to make sure i'm ready for anything they're preparing for me, then... they rolled over showing their bellies, i guessed they were harmless at first but i still kept aim. Soon lasers blasted from their bellies and stopped at the top of the cave causing the inside to rumble and erupt, lava and musk blasted from the walls and mouth of those statues; those insect started to nibble on my helmet, i knocked all of them off and vaporized them one by one then rush to the large holes in the wall, i was eternally grateful the morph ball was still in my possession or else i would been crushed. After traveling for easily three minutes; the eroding finally ceased, i was in a room full of statues; the same statues i seen in the cave. also did the whispering, the noise increased so much that i had to mute the noise from my helmet. A large figure in the corner lunged at me with full force; throwing me into a wall where the statues where, they began to move and held my arms to the wall so i couldn't escape but i also was able to get a clear view of what attacked me; it was gigantic, its face was expressionless with that cold four eyed stare, its body was wrinkly and spiky, like the hardest object could be impaled on it, its legs were the worst part; i could not tell you the entire description you have to see it for yourself. It slowly walked towards me; its cold eyes sockets staring into mine, it said "Your language is frail but i know your memories." I was confused, how did it understand English; it was spoken fluently, it started to raise one of its legs to the glass of my helmet, i knew it was about to stab me; there was no statue below me so i was able to kick its chin to make it step away, i angled the cannon to the statue's face and blast the head to pieces then blasting the other one to free myself. It lunged at me once more but i dodged out of the way making it run into the wall; but it just absorbed itself into it, this thing was too versatile even for me, the wall began to open leading to temple full of those statues, the more i looked at them the more it resembled the creature but i was more concerned to why this planet lacked life; those insects were the most of it. The room was very large; in fact too large that gigantic creature could have been anywhere, i kept my cannon angled to anything that moved but something felt wrong; something was watching me, the presents of something close to me. A statue's eyes started glancing at me everything i looked away, i caught it in my peripheral vision and shot it immediately after that more and more of them started glancing at me, their eyes started blasting beams at me, i couldn't hit them all; they were close to a thousand of them, i was injured but i escaped to another room while the last door shut behind me like something was leading me to somewhere. This room had two different pathways; one lead to a light while the other lead down into the lower sector of the area.I felt warmer in this room it must have been closer to the outside; the whispering returned but it was quieter than before although i couldn't make out what was being said, it came from the pathway leading to the light, the other one was silent. My best guess was to go to the one with light but anyone could have been a trap, then i noticed a crack in the middle of both pathways, that was my best option but as soon as i could come close to my next exit the creature lunged out of it and pierced through my shoulder pad inches away from my arm i shot it in the side; it laughed and did some rolling attacking attempting to impale me under it but i managed to maneuver out the way before it caused any damage, i got a clear shot at its eye, he started shrieking as he ran to the wall escaping; this started to become annoying, i needed to know more about this beast but his disturbing stature and ghostly nature kept me from doing so. I continued my journey through the incrusted temple however my suit was beginning to overheat but i had to make sacrifices, this temple was very narrow with spikes on every corner i had to be extremely careful but i was certain he was here, after making it through each of those corners and spikes a soft whimpering came from the left of the hallway; it was a small hairy creature balled up staring at me, he said "Do you come to rescue." Strange this one spoke English too; i asked him did he spoke English, he was surprised to see me communicate but he still didn't answer the question but he seemed not too enthused to speak about it either. We carefully walked along the temple, the little creature look petrified walking like he knows where this takes leads us but i wasn't concerned about that; i needed to keep this animal safe; who knows how long he's been here. I'm one not for starting conversations but i asked the creature if he had any other kin to his species; he answered "I couldn't find them, that thing took them away from me." I was shocked to hear that; i experienced the same thing when i was young, the first person i could have really relate to and he wasn't even human.I told him about my past experience and he gave a similar reaction, conversion goes a long way but suddenly he stopped moving as his eyes started twitching shaking, he began slamming his head over the wall, his hairy skin turns to wrinkly and spiky, i couldn't believe what i saw; this went on long enough,i was about to set him ablaze until he raised two of his legs as they started to take form of something before i could make out what it was, one appeared to make a two winged dragon and the others.... two humans impaled by its tail. I couldn't take these games i aimed for each eye and blasted individually, i blinded him but i didn't give the final blow, far in the distance light spark blasted the creature in its chest; i knew who followed me here he must have really wanted me dead. I asked him "Did you send me here just to settle your grudge Sylux?" He didn't respond he just stared me the temple was crumbling fast i had to evacuate quick but Sylux was blocking the only exit; it was not like i could leave like this i'm sensitive to the hellish environments of this planet. The legs of the creature grabbed both me and Sylux swinging us around the room, he said "You will never escape the grasp of Lupus, we are one, one makes all if my death takes place here, i will repopulate." my health was near depleted, my vision was fading but i tried my best to retaliate. Sylux looked near death as well, he gave me the rest of his energy to my suit and acquire new abilities to finish Lupus, i aimed at his chest since it proved effective the last time opening a weak point leaving to his heart. A gave the final shot finishing him off for good; he let out a horrifying but satisfying shriek. I looked back at Sylux but he was gone, I was had no choice but to run to my ship outside but luckily it was a few feet away from the temple, i ran with all my strength i had left. I touched the ship but ran out of oxygen, i had to hold my breath but i made it into the ship at last. I was emotionally and physically drained; it wasn't anything different than what i faced before but i won't say it wasn't a horrifying experience, for a few hours just stared at my helmet trying to collect my thoughts but i couldn't; my mind won't allow me think about anything else, not even prime. The Federation force finally contacted me on a extermination mission for the the planet SR388 the metroid's home planet, ok i will be there soon...
