Forum:Phaaze purposely exploding?

The Aurora Unit 313 was symbiotically connected to Phaaze's core through the spine-like cord, and Phaaze exploded because the AU was destroyed. That is the widely accepted belief. However, during the battle, the cord is destroyed, thus the symbiosis would be broken. I ask then, how come Phaaze exploded after the AU itself was destroyed, and not when it became disconnected?

I have a different theory as to why Phaaze exploded. I believe Phaaze did this to defend itself. When it senses great danger to itself, it self-destructs. The only reason it wouldn't before was because the AU was connected to it, allowing Dark Samus to control it, and therefore she was preventing it from self-destucting. But you may ask, what would be the point of it self-destructing to protect itself if it would just die anyway? Well, if you remember, Dark Samus, a being of phazon, was capable of regenerating her body after total atomic disruption, in other words, after she had exploded. Well, perhaps Phaaze is capable of regenerating itself as well. After all, like Dark Samus, Phaaze is pure phazon, and it is a sentient being, so it would make sense if Phaaze was capable of regenerating itself. Now of course, Phaaze is far bigger than Dark Samus, so unlike her, where she is able to reform in a matter of seconds, it would probably take Phaaze a lot longer, perhaps a century or two.

I believe this theory makes sense, and could be very possible.LightMasterJ 05:05, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
