[Narrator]
The last Metroid is in captivity. The Galaxy is at peace…

[Samus Aran]
I first battled the Metroids on planet Zebes. It was there that I foiled the plans of the Space Pirate leader Mother Brain to use the creatures to attack galactic civilization…

I next fought the Metroids on their homeworld, SR388. I completely eradicated them except for a larva, which after hatching followed me like a confused child…

I personally delivered it to the Galactic Research Station at Ceres so scientists could study its energy productions qualities…

The scientists' findings were astounding! They discovered that the powers of the Metroid might be harnessed for the good of galactic civilization!

Satisfied that all was well, I left the station to seek a new bounty to hunt. But, I had hardly gone beyond the asteroid belt when I picked up a distress signal!

Ceres station was under attack!
