I was playing the original Metroid from the NES. I really liked the secrets you could find with the password system. I decided to make one that no one has seen.

When I started the game, i got the morph ball and went to get the missiles. Nothing strange or new happened. I though i just put a password... that didn't change anything.
After a while of exploring and getting items, I went to Norfair, since Ridley was way easier than Kraid. I went to the elevator to Norfair, and saw something I've never seen in the game. A cutscene appeared. There was... an unknow samus, like the SA-X exterminating everyone in the Ridley area.
Like, what? Why? Wasn't Samus supposed to be in Zebes instead?
I countined trough the Ridley area but there were barely any enemies, so I went to the boss fight arena. Strangely, Ridley was still here... but damaged.
He did not attack me.
I did not attack him.
Then, the purple door opened, I prepared my (low) missiles and waited for someone to come out. Ridley ran away and... the other guy looked like a powered up Samus.
It had the Varia suit, Morph ball & bombs (somehow), Missiles, the high jump boots and the ice beam. I tried fighting them, but they had the high jump boots and you couldn't shoot diagonally in the original Metroid. It was kinda hard to fight them but all of a sudden...they left the room.
Like I didn't exist, so I chased them until the elevator and they decided to finally attack me.
I didn't have the Varia suit at that point of time, so
I had to run
Run from this exterminator
And I did hide.
After a while, there were no signs of them in the area, so I immediatly ran from Ridley to Brinstar as soon as possible. I went running to Kraid and the room close to it had... smoke?
It didn't do much of course, Samus was already using a suit that could avoid smoke, so it had no effect. When I went to the Kraid boss fight room, it was full of smoke, but you could hear Kraid getting damaged by something...? I tried shooting with the missilies and... a scream came. It seemed like someone had died... but it wasn't Kraid. I immediately got the secret energy tank and went to Tourian.
On my way trought Brinstar, everything seemed fine as always, like I imagined everything that had happened before. When I entered Tourian, there were not many differences as before, only the METROIDS weren't here, so it was way easier than any normal playthrough. When I entered Mother Brain's chamber, I saw a few Zebeties that were open, so I had to be quick before the time bomb activated.
I finally found who was in there, it was again another Samus but, it was Grey and Blue
. They looked like the "Metroid: Federation Forces" hunters. They were destroying the last Zebetie, so I quickly attacked them... and they stopped. They immediately went for a boss fight, It was really hard and after they died...
...
...
... they screamed
...
I got scared by it and I tried my best to ignore it. Mother Brain's turrets (?) stopped attacking and well, everything went as usual, strangely enough. When I went to the the ending screen, there was no one, only the normal planet Zebes overworld but it was without Samus.
