With little other option left, Samus continues forward to explore both Aether and Dark Aether in an attempt to not only escape the planet's dark clouds, but also save the planet from yet another Leviathan and its phazon corruption. After watching the commander's last entry log, Samus learns that all troopers have been killed by the same shadow creatures that stole her suit upgrades. Samus continues on until she finds the G.F.S.

As the barrier begins to shrink, Samus is attacked by strange black creatures that tear at her armor, stealing her suit upgrades until the only functional systems remaining are her morph ball and her power beam. There, Samus finds a shadowy figure in armor that looks almost identical to Samus's own Power Suit, and upon detecting Samus's arrival it destroys a nearby crystal that acts as a barrier in this strange dark world.
