Metroid Fusion is the most story-driven of the 2D Metroids, and has a suitable ending to match. After defeating the monstrous mutated form of the SA-X, the SR-X Station begins its countdown to destruction. As you make it to the docking bay, a huge Omega Metroid jumps in and starts attacking! It is invulnerable to your weapons, and in one fell swoop, the Omega downs Samus...but the core of the SA-X comes to your rescue and begins attacking the Omega! The Omega also claws the SA-X and transforms it back into its core form. Though all hope seems lost, Samus uses this opportunity to merge with the SA-X, making her suit become whole once more; allowing her to use the ice beam to defeat the Omega Metroid. Samus then flies away in her ship with seconds to spare.

1. B.S.L. SR-X Station sinks into SR-388's atmosphere
2. Station explodes on the surface as Samus's ship flies out just in time!
3. SR-388 explodes behind Samus's escaping ship
4. Cut to Samus sitting in her ship, with the following dialogue:
   That perfect military mind... The wisdom of Adam Malkovich continued to serve even after death. Until today, I had no idea that the minds of leaders and scientists were frequently uploaded to computers. My incredible reunion with Adam may have saved the universe...
   
   But how will the beings of the universe view our resolve? I doubt they will understand what we did...the danger we barely averted. They will hold tribunals and investigations. They will hold us responsible. Adam understood this, and he spoke to me in my anger...
   
   "Do not worry. One of them will understand. One of them must."
   
   I've reflected upon his words, and I see the wisdom in them. We are all bound by our experiences. They are the limits of our consciousness.
   
   But in the end, the human soul will ever reach for the truth... This is what Adam taught me.
   
   Just one detail still bothers me. This ship can only be started manually. Yet, before I faced the Omega Metroid, the ship moved on its own, guided by someone's hands. Is it possible? Adam...?
5. Cut to computer screen with dialogue:
   Lady, what's troubling you? You wonder how I started the ship? Just think about it. They lent me a hand.
6. Pan up of the Dachoras and Etecoons sleeping peacefully
7. Credits roll
