Ultimately, Samus transfers all of the energy back to Aether, save for the last unit protected by the [[Emperor Ing]] itself. To reach the final Ing stronghold, the [[Sky Temple]], Samus needs to acquire the ten [[Sky Temple Key]]s that seals the entrance in the [[Sky Temple Gateway]].

After attaining the keys, Samus travels to the Sky Temple, where she combats the Emperor Ing and emerges victorious. Upon acquiring the last fragment of the Light of Aether, the dark dimension becomes unstable and threatens to collapse within minutes. Samus flees from the Sky Temple and attempts to return to Light Aether, but is blocked in the Sky Temple Gateway by Dark Samus, who has absorbed Phazon to critical capacity.<ref>{{cite|Scans indicate that Dark Samus has absorbed tremendous levels of Phazon into her body: too much, perhaps. She can vent Phazon energy in the form of destructive blasts and protective shields: doing so will help her maintain stability.|Logbook|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> Samus overcomes her adversary and travels through an active portal 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.
