A rewrite of my original fic with short chapters. Set in the Metroid universe. Our story follows Zailania (Lani for short) a human orphan living in the outer islands of the Galactic Federation's capital city. Zailania has all she needs in the world, a run down apartment to call home, two best friends who join her in mischievous adventures through the city streets , and a loving guardian who is also a thief with a reputation among his peers. Yet the past dwells on her, a past that mirrors that of the Galaxy's most legendary Bounty Hunter. After a fateful museum trip awakens the slumbering spirit of a Chozo, everything Zailania knew about herself is forever changed and she is forced from her home on the outskirts onto an adventure across the planet that sets the course of her new life. As she learns about her heritage and trains under the strict eye of Commander Adam Malkovich, Zailania discovers she has a greater connection to Samus Aran than she could ever imagine.
