[edit] What's next for Samus?
So, after playing through the games all over again and enjoying every single moment, I thought to myself.. "What's next?" Obviously, the Metroids are gone, so I don't know if the next title should include Metroid in it (Unless the Metroids have some role in it). Perhaps just "Samus" with another title following? Anyway, I've had this idea for what the next trilogy could be. We're left off with Samus fleeing the Federation after disobeying orders and destroying the Space Laboratory on SR388. Where is she going? What's the federation going to do with the Galaxy's greatest hunter not backing them? It hasn't been too long since the Phazon War. Dark Samus is defeated, the Space Pirates crippled to just tiny numbers, and now the Federation is all that's left. Or is it? For anyone who has played Metroid Prime: Hunters, you should know of the Kriken Empire. The nefarious race that the bounty hunter Trace came from. The Kriken Empire is a merciless, and malicious insect-like species that seeks to conquer planets. I mean, they are an EMPIRE afterall. Who knows how far they have spread throughout the galaxy? They absolutely hate the Space Pirates and Galactic Federation, and prove to be a major threat to both. But where were they during the Phazon War? My theory; the Kriken Empire just sat back and watched as their enemies fought over for Phazon, whom they knew was a parasite that in the end would end them both. But we know in the end, the federation won, pirates lost, and Phazon as we know it is extinct (I still think there's other Phaaze's out there. Just the one Samus eliminated controlled the Phazon in that region of the universe). So, with two major threats out of the way, and Samus on the run, what's stopping the Kriken Empire from unleashing their wrath upon the Federation? And if Trace is still alive, I'm pretty sure he would love to seek revenge on Humans after his encounter with Samus. I believe this could be a great series, with Trace being our new rival. The federation will have no choice but to seek out and accept Samus back in order to protect humanity from falling. While I believe Dark Samus was one the universe's darkest foes (Hell, I'm 21, and even though I've played Metroid since I was 6, she still scares me), I believe that Trace and his Empire could match her destructiveness or maybe even surpass? We'll see. What do you guys think of this? I feel like it has a lot of potential.
