Fan CastingMetroid Prime 2

Samus Aran receives a Mission File informing her that contact with Galactic Federation's Squad Bravo was lost eight days prior, and that she must find them on planet Aether and render assistance. As she enters Aether's atmosphere, Samus' Gunship flies through turbulent purple storm clouds and is struck by lightning. Badly damaged, the Gunship is sent hurtling towards the planet below but regains enough power just in time to land safely after crashing through the roof of a cave. While exploring the GF troopers' abandoned base of operations, she discovers a portal to Dark Aether after an encounter with a strange black-blue doppelgänger. Following the being through the portal, she finds it absorbing Phazon; upon detecting Samus' arrival, the being destroys a nearby crystal. The barrier this crystal generates shrinks away to nothing, and Samus begins to be affected by the poisonous atmosphere. After the barrier fades, vicious creatures unknown to Samus at the time attack her. She escapes, but almost all of her upgrades are stolen by the creatures.
