Vortexia was a planet similar in size to earth with similar agriculture and the location of an earth Colony. Unknown to the residents of the planet, Chozo technology rested below ground in ruins believed to be centuries old. Juno was a resident of the planet living with her fiancé Scott Caven who worked in the colony’s law enforcement and his young son she came to love as her own Peyton. “You know Peyton said he wants to start calling you his Mother” Scott said as they walked through a park as Peyton was up ahead of him. She looks over “Does he Really..? Well since we’re gonna be married soon I don’t see any problem with that. I already see him as my own.” She smiles leaning into his shoulder. “Well let’s call him over and tell him he is very fond of you.” He calls out to his son asking him to come over before they take cover from hearing an explosion. The Space pirates, caught the signatures of the Chozo technology and invaded the colony mercilessly killing or capturing residents for experimentation which most considered a worse fate. Juno and Peyton ended up captured while Scott was killed attempting to fight off the space pirates to no avail being killed by a black and Orange armored space pirate general named Kitzad. Both of them as well as many other residents of Vortexia were kept in confined areas doing hard labor till they were brought off for experimentation.

The Space Pirates experimented on many humans, many ending up as deformed much more ending up dead. Eventually they came for Peyton and Juno attempted to keep them away from him “ Get your hands off him just take me instead please..!!” She cried out as they took him away as Kitzad knocked her down and beat her for resisting. Leaving broken when he never returned from their tests Kitzad broke her down more for Scott’s futile attempt to stop their invasion and Peyton for not lasting long in their tests hoping to break her will before he left the planet on another assignment. She vowed if she could escape them she’d do everything possible to hunt down Kitzad and any other space pirates in the galaxy. After a few weeks she was next to be subjected to their experiments forced to endure painful procedures with physical augmentation via Bio-augmentation, imprinting their language into her mind as well as  infusing her with the DNA of Space Pirates via gene splicing for the purpose of to be a weapon they can control to combat the Chozo DNA infused Samus Aran.

Despite being out through many painful experiments and procedures Juno was clinging to life biding her time to find a way to escape. The Experiments gave her enhanced physical strength, agility, senses and stamina which she planned to use to escape . Eventually she learned of a communication center she could use to call for help, deciding it’d be her best and only chance to escape. During one of their procedures she waited till they undid her restraints as they were under the assumption she was in too much pain to attack them. She grabbed one of the surgical tools and attacked the four space pirates in the lab with her looking around, spotting an arm cannon from an assortment of Chozo technology they’ve collected, grabbing it before running out the lab.

“ I need to get to that communication center and call for help. Maybe I can find a ship and fly out of here after that..!” She says to herself running through the halls stopping for a moment when an alarm goes off. “ Damnit..!” She rushes ahead towards the communication coming across two space pirates. “Gh I’m not going back to that lab..!” She starts shooting at them frantically as she runs towards them as one fires back while the other attacks her with a wrist blade. Her aim wasn’t great but since one was running towards her she was able to land a few shots at the pirate but she was getting shot as well. Fighting through the pain as she rushed forward partially due to her adrenaline pumping and due to the experiments done on her. Once the space pirate with the blade got closer to her she grabs its blade and pits the cannon at its head blowing its head off before rushing towards the other pirate grabbing its head and smashing it into a wall.

“Gotta keep moving, more of them will be here soon..!” She pants a little before running off making her way into the communication center. She burst through the door killing the space pirates present there before barricading the door. “Come on how does this thing work ..?! “ She types in an SOS after figuring out how the communication system works, signals into the computer and sends it out for anyone to receive. Her eyes widened a bit hearing banging and loud growls at the door after she sent it pointing her cannon at the door before she started trembling. “ What the hell is that..?” She was terrified pointing her cannon at  cent and shooting it open crawling inside the door was breaking down. She heard the door get broken down as she crawled through the ventilation system panting a bit. “Now should I just wait for help to get here or try to find a ship..? *groans* even if i get to a ship I can’t fly one..” she holds her head. She peeks through grades in the vents seeing space pirates run by waiting till they are gone before opening it and hoping down. Keeping herself hidden for a couple hours as she avoids their search parties

“If I get caught they’ll either kill me or bring me back to that lab. If I can get outside I’ll be easier to find just gotta make it out of here” she looks around the corner whispering to herself. She makes her way through the facility starting to run towards the way out till a clawed arm punches a hole through the wall knocking her away. “ Wh..what the hell is that..?!” She pointed her cannon at it shooting at it but the shot bounced off its body as she got up, backing away. She kept shooting as it walked towards her, backing her up to a wall before knocking her through it. She pants heavily slowly getting up looking around “ There’s gotta be something I can use..-?!” She spots a container full of Phazon and kicks it over before shooting it and makIng it explode injuring it so she can run away. She runs towards as the Berserker Knight starts chasing after the exit seeing silhouettes at the door holding up guns in her direction “ Gh-?! Not now I was so close..!” She yells thinking it was more space pirates.

“Get down!!” A human voice called out as Galactic federation troopers start shooting at the Berserker Knight making it roar out as Juno takes cover. “ I’ll handle this You search for any other people being held inside!” Samus called out to the troopers before running over to fight the Berserker Knight as the Troopers rushed into the facility. “ Are you the one who sent that signal..?” One of the troopers asked as two more troopers helped up Juno. “ Y..yea..” she nods wincing as they bring her to one of the ships. “ You’re one brave woman, don't worry about anyone else in there, we'll take care of everything, worry about yourself, we'll get you some medical attention, just get some rest ” they laid her down as she panted a bit, nodding before closing her eyes, falling unconscious as she was being taken to get medical attention .
