I kinda see this being an opening to a future Metroid game. Samus gets surrounded by Federation fighter ships and is put in a high security prison after Adam (Ship AI) tells her that there's no chance of escape. While in prison waiting for trial the, believed to be dead, Space Pirates attack the city she resides in. This chaos gives Samus the chance to escape but it isn't long until she sees the scale of the attack. The Space Pirates are stronger than ever and the Federation is no match for their new found strength. Only Samus can stop them.



Samus follows Ridley into a large warehouse and the two battle. In the middle of the fight the building collapses and Ridley escapes. Samus is knocked out. She later awakes and after getting her way out of the ruined building sees a familiar sight: the desolate remains of a city raided by Space Pirates.
