[edit] 8: Scars
This chapter picks up where Volume 1 left off, with Ridley tormenting Samus that she is the Bio-weapon that Mother Brain was talking about. Ridley goes on to tell her that to suvive the explosion on the Afloraltite, he had to eat the flesh of the dead humans, and that after killing her Mother he came back to eat her flesh. All this causes Samus to fall into a state of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and has fallen to the ground in silence. Grey Voice commands Ridley to stop, to which he replies that he will not take orders from Grey Voice until he "gets his hands dirty" and kills Samus himself.
Meanwhile Mauk, Kreatz and Pyonchi discover Chozo labs being used on Pirates to "adjust their bodies so they can adapt to this planet." In the same lab they find 12-13 Chozo prisoners, including Platinum Chest, the Chozo who helped Mauk's race join the Federation. Mauk and Kreatz make plans to over throw the gaurds but just before they attack Ridley, Grey Voice and Samus walk in. Grey Voice refuses to kill Samus, saying that the Chozo have a mental guard making them "incapable of harmful actions" and that Samus may still defect to the Space Pirates. Ridley then turns to the prisoners and, with Grey Voice's approvel, moves to attack them.
[edit] 9: Counter Attack
Ridley advances on Platinum Chest, and starts strangling him with his tail. Seeing this Mauk remotely activates the ship they arrived in and fires on the "heat sources" on the planet, in hope of causing a distraction and saving Platinum Chest's life. The plan works and Ridley releases Platinum Chest and turns back to Samus, demanding to know where her back up is coming from. Grey Voice dismisses this idea, saying Samus was trained to work alone. He goes on to say that she alone knows this enviroment, so the explosions were probably "planned ahead of time" to allow her to escape. Grey Voice then orders the Space Pirates to find the ship while Ridley orders the prisoners to fix the Body Adaption Machines, broken in the explosions. Satisfied that Grey Voice is acting as a Space Pirate Commander, Ridley flies away to help in the search. Grey Voice dismisses Samus as pitiful and leaves her alone.
Mauk and Kreatz then come out of hiding to free the prisoners, but as they turn to Samus, they find her standing and begging for them to end her life.
[edit] 10: Phoenix I
Samus is now screaming how, "He hunted them like animals, it's hopeless to run so kill me before it happens." Platinum Chest deduces that Samus has got supressed memories of the attack of K-2L long ago, and is in shock. The Chozo surround and place hands on her, telling her that there is "no need to worry, and no need to hold it in," noting that she has always done well. Meanwhile Ridley is getting the full status report on the broken equipment hit by the ship's missiles when the news comes through from Grey Voice that the prisoners have escaped. Flying down to the port, Ridley finds Mauk and Kreatz fighting off the space pitates. He attempts to attack the Chozo from behind, but as he is about to strike Samus re-dons her Power Suit and blasts Ridley in the chest, sending him flying away, announcing, "It's my duty protecting the protectors!"
[edit] 11: Phoenix II
Samus's worries change to Mauk and Kreatz who will not manage to cope with the oncoming acid rain, and starts planning a detour though the Brinstar. When her friends ask her how she is, she replies "Sorry for making you worry, It's ok, I'm back to myself now, wide awake".As the team head down to Brinstar, the focus changes onto Grey Voice watching them and talking about how far Samus has matured. Samus notices that her suit resonates and Platinum Chest says that "he [Grey voice] left".
Meanwhile in Mother Brain's chambers Grey Voice bursts in dressed in 100 year old Chozo battle armour & Staff weapon, and destroys the enterance, anouncing "he has come to settle things". He keeps attacking Mother Brains tank with the staff weapon, until he falls to his knees. Mother Brain that his attack will be a risk to his life due to the pain he is suffering overcoming the Chozo mental guard. Grey Voice gets up and anounces that he "must redeem our senseless deeds" and that the "defective product" of Mother Brain "must be destroyed"
Mother Brain replies that she thought that Grey Voice was "the only one who was wise" but he turned out foolish. Grey voice, still attacking Mother Brain back tells her that "You will not be building the new Era, you are not the Successer ... You are afraid of life and the potential of the races... Your Jealous of life and the Future". Mother Brain denies any of this saying "She was born to the True Master of the Universe".
Grey voice makes one last accusation, that Mother Brain is jealous of Samus.
[edit] 12: Phoenix III
Re-emerging from the caves of Brinstar, the team find a Chozo ship. Platinum Chest is still discussing Grey Voice with Samus, the fact that it was always intended that he would turn against Mother Brain, just the timing of Samus's arival complicated things. Samus feels saddened by this, saying that she can feel his stuggle though her power suit, and she can hear him shouting "Samus, you must move on", Platinum Chest reveals that the Chozo DNA Samus got when she was younger was Grey Voice's, making a unique conection between herself and Grey Voice and Grey Voice being like a father. Samus almost abandons her mission to help in the fight against Mother Brain, but when the Space Pirate mother ship looms overhead, they decide its time to get out of there, they get into a Chozo ship and are chased by Space Pirate fighters, Samus clinging on the the side, acts as the gunner but struggles to get the fighters off their tail,
Meanwhile in Mother Brains chambers, Grey voice continues his assult againts Mother Brain telling her that she fears Samus because "Samus generates change around her", making the future unpredictable. At this time Ridley bursts in and fights Grey Voice, quickly gaining the upper hand. Grey Voice manages to stumble out of the chamber and into the open, next to a Chozo statue, Ridley asks his if he would like a Chozo grave but the Chozo fires upwards, destroying the fighters chasing Samus before collapsing on the ground. He uses his mental link to Samus to send her his last message before being blasted by Ridleys plasma breath.
"Samus, I leave the rest to you. You have become strong, so strong. Samus I know that your fate is harsh, but, though this will be hard for you, there are many people in the universe who need your strength, I want you to save them, be it only one or many, I want your to help them, this is my request. You have become strong my child."
The Chozo ship breaks the atmosphere and notise the Mother Ship looming infront of them. Just as it look hopeless Adam Malkovich arives in the Battleship Vixon IV and the Chozo ship can warp to safety. Platinum Chest talked about re-grouping with the Chozo who escaped before them and how hope brought them throught it. Samus decided she will always be with her Power suit, always continue to fight, in memory of Grey Voice.
