For my third novel, I'll summarize Metroid 2. It sets the events of Super and sequels and should be actually regarded.

Chapter 1: Planetfall
It had been a while since I'd gone on a mission. About 4 years had passed since I ended the Phazon crisis. The galaxy had become peaceful again.

However, after a while, someone in the Galactic Federation had a nightmare. He had been attacked by a Metroid, alien parasites that I had encountered many times. These creatures attach themselves to organisms to drain them of their life force. They never drank blood or ate organs. Just the life force, always. We'd first discovered them when the Space Research Vessel Marina found planet SR388, and captured several of the specimens. They were heading back to Earth, specifically, Galactic Federation Headquarters, when they were attacked by the Space Pirates. They'd been around since the early days of the Federation, and their actions on my homeworld have led me to what I am today.

The vessel was destroyed and the creatures were taken to Zebes, the planet I had grown up on, but not birthed on. The Federation was unable to take the planet, and so I was called to exterminate the Metroids there and destroy the artificial life form that controlled the Space Pirates and the Metroids: the rogue Chozo supercomputer, Mother Brain.

After this nightmare, it came to light that the Metroids might still be living deep below the caverns of SR388. The Galactic Federation Special Squadron was sent to SR388 to search the planet and make sure there were none left, but they were never heard from again. A rescue team was sent as well, but they were overtaken too. The galaxy was once again seized with the fear of the Metroids.

The Galactic Federation had an idea: of course, they were going to send me to SR388 to exterminate the Metroids. They'd showed me footage that they managed to receive from the fallen policemen on the planet. The footage scared and angered me. The creatures were savage. I could not believe that the Chozo, the race that had raised the orphaned me, engineered them. I still had no idea what their original purpose was. They'd never meant harm on the galaxy, but ironically they unleashed the largest threat to society.

I accepted the bounty of 8000 seguru and travelled to planet SR388.

I landed on the surface, at the base of an active volcano. How did the Metroids survive in this condition? I had no clue. Treading through the weeds on the sandy plains of the landing site, I tredged on through the rocky mazes of caverns. I didn't know if I would come back alive. This had to be my most dangerous mission yet. And yet, I was thrilled. I marched on, not knowing what would happen.
