Three Year Old Samus[edit | edit source]

Three year old Samus
Three year old Samus

Samus began life as a young girl on the mining colony of K-2L with her parents, Rodney Aran and Virginia Aran. When she was three years old, her hometown was visited by the Chozo, a bird-like race. They were in need of Afloraltite, which was mined on K-2L by the Federation colonists there.[1] They came in peace, and Samus immediately found a kindred spirit in a Chozo elder named Old Bird.[2][3] He taught Samus that befriending and understanding others can be used to solve problems. He then demonstrates this philosophy by showing Samus how to befriend Pyonchi, a rabbit-like creature;[4] he remains Samus's companion through many years. Rodney Aran refused the Chozo the Afloraltite they sought, and the Chozo ship left K-2L empty-handed the day that they landed.[5][6]

Unfortunately, a Space Pirate flagship was following the Chozo, hoping for a chance to steal any Afloraltite the Chozo might discover.[7] It landed on the innocent colony and a raid ensued, led by none other than the dragon-like bioform Ridley. Samus, remembering what Old Bird had taught her, attempted to befriend Ridley in spite of his terrifying appearance.[8] Because he felt humiliated and embarrassed in front of his subordinates, Ridley attempted to kill Samus. Virginia saw and got in the way of the strike, just as any mother would. She suffered the fatal blow. At the same time, Rodney infiltrated the Space Pirates' vessel and ignited the Afloraltiite the Space Pirates had stolen, thus sacrificing himself and destroying all of the Space Pirates.[9][10] Ridley was mortally wounded, but he survived. The only survivor of the attack was Samus.

Old Bird and Gray Voice infusing Chozo DNA within Samus

Soon after the Chozo left, they received a distress signal from the colonists.[11] Old Bird feared the worst, and ordered the ship to return to K-2L. Old Bird and Grey Voice discovered Samus and brought her to their home planet, Zebes. Mother Brain, a sentient organic robot created by the Chozo, predicted that Samus's frail body could not withstand harsh life in Zebes.[12] The Chozo hoped to evade this problem by integrating Chozo DNA with hers and equipping her with the Power Suit, a bio-mechanical suit with the ability to assimilate many weapons and functions.[13]

Growing up on Zebes[edit | edit source]

While Samus was fourteen, Old Bird and Gray Voice trained her in the ways of the Power Suit. They taught her how to use it and that she must use her power to protect others for the good of the galaxy. After a particularly difficult training session, in which Samus failed to destroy the targets she had been asked to destroy because she was not focusing properly,[14] Gray Voice reminded her that if she wanted to survive and protect others, then she must utilize her abilities to the max; second or third place will never do.[15]

Samus ran off to calm down; she watched an Iono Feria absorb moisture and ionize it to fly.[16] Samus fed the Iono Feria and picked some flowers that the Iono Feria were near. When Gray Voice came to check on her, she showed him the flowers.[17] When Gray Voice saw them, he freaked out and told Samus that the flowers were extremely poisonous Badger Clover.[18] Gray Voice and Mother Brain realized that the Iono Feria carried the Badger Clover to Zebes,[19] and Gray Voice ordered for the flowers and the Iono Feria to be burned.[20] Samus objected to the needless shedding of blood,[21] but Gray Voice insisted.[22][23][24] The Iono Feria picked up weapons lying nearby and began to defend themselves.[25] Samus took matters into her own hands and shot the weapons away from the Iono Feria.[26][27] Samus managed to calm down the Iono Feria,[28] and Mother Brain began damage control.[29].

Samus went to a different room to calm down, and Old Bird came to talk to her. He told her that she was ready to leave Zebes and head out on her own.[30] Samus was skeptical,[31] but Old Bird silenced her doubts.[32] Samus resolved then and there to live up to her predecessors' legacy and become the true "Protector of the Galaxy".[33]

The Space Pirates Attack[edit | edit source]

Some time after Samus left the Chozo, she enlisted in the Federation Police. While she was in the Police, she was assigned several recon missions, all of which were likely designed to keep tabs on Space Pirate activity in her area.

At one point, Samus was assigned to the planet Jigrad. She was monitoring Space Pirate activity in the area with her comrades Kreatz and Mauk.[34] When Samus' comrades came to check on her at her post, she gave them the numbers of the Space Pirates.[35] Kreatz took a look, and he identified the leader of the Space Pirates name to be Kani,[36] but he was not able to ascertain what the Space Pirates were doing there.[37] Samus told him that the Space Pirates had left a remnant of their forces; they were forcing the natives of the planet to build a "gaudy building" for no apparent reason.[38][39][40]

Kreatz had just suggested to go and report back to headquarters when Samus noticed something; the Space Pirates had brought in a group of children to work on their "gaudy building".[41][42] The Space Pirates brought in the group of children and "prepared everything as usual".[43] "Preparing things as usual" entailed setting up a sensor at a certain height; if a child failed to trigger the sensor, they were dispatched.[44] The adults working on the building pleaded for the Space Pirates to stop killing children, implying that the Space Pirates made that a grisly habit.[45] Samus was surprised by such a cruel act, even coming from the Space Pirates.[46] The Space Pirate began to taunt the little girl he was preparing to kill, saying that it was simply for amusement and telling the little girl to "scream and cry".[47] The Space Pirates shot the girl, but their beams "shot back";[48] Samus had rushed down in her Power Suit and grabbed the girl. She placed the Space Pirates under arrest.[49] The Space Pirate leader pointed out that Samus was seemingly alone and ordered his men to attack,[50] beginning a firefight. Samus sent the civilians to safety, and began her fighting.[51] Kreatz was worried about the consequences of disobeying orders, so he asked for advice from Mauk, whom had been silent up to that point.[52] Mauk's answer was simply to join the conflict. That prompted Kreatz to join the conflict, as he enjoyed a firefight as well.[53]

After the firefight, there was one Space Pirate left alive.[54] When the Space Pirate happened to crawl underneath the sensor the girl had failed to trigger, Samus decided to kill the Space Pirate just as he was preparing to do to the little girl.[55] The Space Pirate begged for mercy,[56] but Samus remembered the murders on K-2L and was going to shoot him anyway.[57] Just then, Samus heard the cries of the little girl; she had been keeping it in the whole time. The women of the colony comforted the little girl, telling her that it was over.[58] Samus decided to not shed any more blood and placed the Space Pirate under arrest.[59]

Afterwards, Chief Hardy, the commander in charge of Samus and her friends, reprimanded the three for disobeying orders.[60] The little girl came to thank Samus for saving her,[61] but Samus told the girl that she was the one who had saved her.[62] Samus walked off hand in hand with the little girl, who told Samus her name; Damara.[63][64]

Later, Adam Malkovich told Chief Hardy that while the Pirates were gone, now he had to deal with a piece of baggage; Samus Aran.[65]
