What is the plot of Metroid Prime?

Answer 1

samus aran is out in her ship one day, when she receives a distress signal from another ship. investigating, she discovers it is a space pirate frigate orbiting a planet called talon 4. she storms the ship, to find most of the crew dead due to some of their experimental creatures running rampant. there, she spots ridley, now with new cyborg implants, and he flies down to talon 4, followed by samus as the space frigate explodes. she explores the surface of talon 4 and finds it was once the home of the mythic chozo race. she also discovers a mutagenic, radioactive element called phazon that infests the planets surface and corrupts and kills anything it touches. the space pirates have established several bases on the planet and are attempting to use the phazon to build a new class of super pirates, with deadly results. through chozo law and pirate data, samus finds that the source of phazon seems to radiate from "the impact crater", were a vast meteor struck aeons ago and first released phazon into the environment. the chozo managed to seal it away, along with "the worm" that dwelled inside the meteor and is said to be the source of all phazon. samus, shadowed by meta ridley, finds the 12 chozo artifacts that act as the keys to the impact crater, and finds a way in. however ridley interupts, and samus (along with some chozo help) manages to destroy him. once inside the crater, samus finds the worm: Metroid prime; a giant, bio-mechanical metroid mutation that produces phazon and looks like a metal crab with a face. once it's shell is destroyed, the core of metroid prime reveals itself and samus battles it, super-charging her beam with pure phazon in order to destroy it. the metroid prime begins to explode, then sucks off samus's phazon infused suit, before destroying the meteor in a fiery explosion. samus, satisfied, flies away. in the remains of the crater, a puddle of phazon bubbles away: the last phazon on talon 4. suddenly, an armoured hand pops out of the phazon. an eye appears on the gauntlet, and swivels to look at the screen...

Prime 1: A group of Space pirates that escaped the explosion on Zebes Find Tallon IV, a planet that was struck by a leviathan (seeds of Phaaze) 50 years ago. when a leviathan strikes a planet, it creates a Phazon core which emits Phazon all over the planet. the pirates use the mutagenic properties of Phazon to experiment on living things. Three years later Samus is sent by the galactic federation to Tallon IV to investigate the space pirates. When she discovers a mutated parasite had taken over the pirate ship, she is forced to destroy the ship. she then adventures through the planet deciding to destroy all the phazon. When she reaches the phazon core, she encounters Metroid prime. After destrying Metroid prime, Samus leaves the planet but a few remainig metroid prime cells take form of Dark Samus

Prime 2: Echoes: The planet Aether was hit with a leviathan around the same time as Tallon IV. Samus is sent to investigate the disappearance of a galactic federation squad. she discoveres the space pirates have taken over Aether and that the leviathan split the world in to two dimensions: light and dark. She must then transfer all the energy from Dark Aether to Light Aether do destroy the dark side (cue Star Wars music). She Fights the Ing horde (evil bank Accountants), the inhabitants of dark Aether and guess who interferes? Mrs. Dark Samus. so believe it or not good Samus succeeds and traps dark Samus in the crumbling Dark aether.

Prime 3: Corruption: Surprise, surprise Dark Samus Survives And the Space Pirates decide they like Phazon so much they go looking for other Phazon planets, mistake t for drugs, inject themselves with it and go into Hypermode. Samus is sent to save three planets from Phazon and gets corrupted with phazon. this makes her suit look awesome and she becomes extra super totally mega powerful. She saves the planets gives the pirates a fine of death for possesion of illegal drugs and is sent to planet Phaaze to finally kill dark Samus and assure us that no cells escape. as Dark samus dies She takes good samus' super ultra coolness that would have killed her otherwise.

Everyone lives happily ever after (except Dark Samus).
