Samus | {{sectstub}} | ||
Samus sets off to restore the planetary energy to the three Energy sub-controllers on Aether, one in each of the planet's primary regions: [[Agon Wastes]], [[Torvus Bog]], and the [[Sanctuary Fortress]]. Using her updated [[Translator Module]], Samus first explores the Agon region. At the [[Agon Temple]], she encounters a [[Luminoth Holoprojector|hologram]] of the Temple's deceased [[Sentinel of the Temple|Sentinel]], [[I-Sha]]. In the message, I-Sha explains the nature of the Dark Temples, where Dark Aether's Energy Controllers lie, and the [[Dark Temple Key]]s that must be recovered to enter them.<ref>{{cite|Welcome. I am I-Sha, Sentinel of the Agon Temple. This message survives my death, as guidance to one who would fight the Ing. A portal to Dark Aether lies nearby. With it, you can travel to this land’s shadow. You must locate a Dark Temple, a twisted mockery of this sacred place. Inside you will find the Energy Controller you seek. The temple door is held fast by three locks. The keys for the locks are hidden throughout that dark land.|I-Sha|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> The message also divulges information about [[Light Crystal]]s placed in Dark Aether to repel the toxic air there and updates her Translator Module.<ref>{{cite|Your search will be difficult. Even the very air of Dark Aether is dangerous, and can cripple the strongest of warriors. In our past struggles with the Ing, we placed a series of Light Crystals throughout their world. They remain today. These Crystals create safe areas that will protect you from the harmful atmosphere of the dark world. I have updated your Translator Module. You can access devices and doors coded with Amber holograms. More lands are open to explore. When you have taken the energy from the Dark Temple, return here at once. May the Light of Aether serve you well!|I-Sha|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> With this information, Samus manages to recover the three [[Dark Temple Key|keys]] to Agon's temple and defeat the [[Amorbis|Ing]] in the Dark Temple and retake Agon's planetary energy. Along the way she encounters [[Space Pirate]]s, who have set up a base of operations and are harvesting [[Phazon]] when she arrives,<ref>{{cite|Science teams have discovered the presence of Phazon in the Dasha system four cycles ago. High command authorized the deployment of our team shortly thereafter. Our orders are to establish a base on planet Aether and evaluate local Phazon resources. Because this world lies on the periphery of Galactic Federation territory, we are following stealth protocols at the highest level. A cadre of elite commandos has been dispatched to provide security for our force as well. This operation is now under way.|[[Space Pirate Data]] "Log 04.468.1 (Phazon Operations)"|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> even making raids on Phazon sources in Dark Aether.<ref>{{cite|Phazon extraction raids are under way on Dark Aether. The toxicity of the atmosphere has taken a toll on our workforce, as have the hostile natives of that world. Science Team is preparing survival gear to protect our work teams, and we have increased our security presence in extraction areas. Fortunately, High Command is sending more troops and supplies. Our troops and resources are spread dangerously thin, and this mission cannot fail.|[[Space Pirate Data]] "Log 06.221.7 (Phazon Raids)"|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> The pirates also keep [[Tallon Metroid]]s in captivity for use in Phazon experimentation, domestication,<ref>{{cite|Metroid unit 318 was put down today after a failed domestication session. Metroid unit refused commands and terminated one of its handlers before it was subdued.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> and bio-energy harvesting.<ref>{{cite|Metroid subject has been energy-drained repeatedly over the last 3 cycles.

Ultimately, Samus transfers all of the energy back to Light Aether, save for the last unit protected by the [[Emperor Ing]] itself. U-Mos gifts Samus the Light Suit and sends her back to Dark Aether one last time, where she combats the Emperor Ing. Upon acquiring the last fragment of the Light of Aether, Dark Aether becomes unstable and threatens to collapse within minutes. Samus flees from the [[Sky Temple]] and attempts to return to Light Aether, but is balked by Dark Samus, who has absorbed Phazon to critical capacity. Samus overcomes her adversary and warps back to Light Aether mere moments before Dark Aether ceases to exist. She returns to U-Mos, who has awoken the previously slumbering Luminoth. The Luminoth thank Samus, who then leaves in her repaired gunship. Should the player finish the game 100%, they are rewarded with a post-credits cutscene depicting Dark Samus reforming herself in outer space. | Ultimately, Samus transfers all of the energy back to Light Aether, save for the last unit protected by the [[Emperor Ing]] itself.
