Disposition of rival interests is presumed hostile.|Introduction|Metroid Prime Hunters}}</ref> Samus goes to the Alimbic Cluster and discovers the ruins of the great [[Alimbic]] civilization. She uses their abandoned technology to gather strange artifacts called [[Octolith]]s. After examining the messages left by the Alimbics, she learns of how their civilization was destroyed by the creature [[Gorea]], who also must have sent the false message. Despite the warnings, Samus uses the Octoliths to open the way to Gorea's prison, and the other Hunters get there first, thinking to destroy the threat.  
[[Spire]] is the only survivor of the [[Diamont]] race.


They instead destroy the Seal Sphere containing Gorea, and he ascends, ripping their energy out of them and using it on Samus. Samus manages to weaken Gorea, and an Alimbic device activates. Samus gains the [[Omega Cannon]], which she uses to kill Gorea once and for all. Samus and the other hunters manage to escape, with the "Ultimate Power" destroyed.
