"Darkness...coming..." - Aurora Unit 313

Aurora Unit 313 is a Galactic Federation Aurora Unit that was stolen by Space Pirates from the G.F.S. Valhalla^[1], under the orders of Dark Samus. As it was being removed from the Valhalla, it left behind a final message to the Federation, detailing what was occurring. It was taken to Phaaze, where it was implanted into the planet and corrupted by Phazon. As a result, Dark Samus was able to control the planet and all of its powers - including the Leviathans. During this time, however, Aurora Unit 313 became symbiotically linked with the planet.

After Samus Aran travels to Phaaze and defeats Dark Samus, she merges with the Aurora Unit, forcing Samus to battle it. To destroy it, Samus must first attack the open holes from which its tentacles emerge in order to stun it, then open the hatch on its head with the Grapple Beam to reach its core and overload it with Phazon energy. Once this is done, the cable connecting it to the ground will break and reveal its weak point. It will fly around the arena during this part of the fight. At this point, Samus must attack the weak point where the cord once was. Its attacks are:

First Form

• A Phazon Laser, which is easy to evade by jumping.
• Sometimes the AU will stay on the ground and four cannons will shoot small energy balls.
• As a last resort the AU will call Dark Echoes to assist it.

Second Form

• This is an attack from the Metroid Prime Core: the destructive energy wave. When the attack finishes the AU will be stunned.
• Another of its attacks are four lasers which will be unleashed by the AU in a way so the lasers arch and fall. At this time, only the area below the machine is safe.
• This attack consists of the AU spinning and flying around the room. To stop this use a screw attack on the AU.

Once Samus destroys it, Dark Samus is finally defeated. The destruction of the Aurora Unit begins a chain reaction that ultimately culminates in Phaaze exploding, bringing an end to all Phazon.
