Samus charged up the stairways, and raised her armcannon as she saw a group of warriors clothed in green phazite armor appear, wielding halberds in their grasps. One pointed forward at her, and yelled out "Kill the heretic. Kill it!" Two of them raised their gauntlets, and orbs of phazon burst from them. Samus sidestepped the attack, and fired off several shots. The nearest warrior took the blunt of the attack, and collapsed forward, rolling down the rest of the stairs. Samus leaped over the carcass and fired a missile, only to see it deflected aside by a halberd strike.
