Kain v.s. A phazon metroid

Metroids are described as energy beings, despite being somewhat obviously physical. They grow when they absorb energy, however. If one wants to equate life energy to souls, one could say that Metroids may have an excess of soul. Space Pirate data and experiments state that they can't find whatever it is Metroids drain, and have determined that it is not a physical thing. Might be souls, might not be.

Anyway, Phazon Metroids do indeed phase through matter and out of space-time. One of them could simply phase through the floor and attack Kain's crotch. It's impossible to detach a feeding Metroid without causing yourself to explode. Of course, there's something that hasn't been mentioned yet: Phazon Metroids can shoot lightning. Phazon enhanced lightning.

And this is in Skytown? Well, Elysia is sort of a gas giant planet, and the atmosphere is inhospitable to humans. I don't know how that will affect Kain, but I thoought it should be pointed out.

It wouldnt be able to feed on anything, hed starve the thing completly. It would be like if I had a weapon that could drain all the suger, energy and protein and w/e a human body requires and took it all away. The body would drop dead, as would this poor ickle metroidicus!

Space Pirates have occasionally used Metroids as living batteries, and they have the ability to willingly transfer energy out of themselves to heal things. In the being drained by Pirates example, they just seemed to get pissed off. I don't see the Reaver being very different.

Since when did energy=souls?

Not energy. Life-energy. The Space Pirates have done many studies on the subject.

Metroid Morphology

Metroid dissection continues to provide more questions than answers. Our research teams have isolated the energy conduits that run from the invasive twin mandibles to the energy core in the creature's quadripartite nucleus, but the manner in which a Metroid actually extracts the life force from its prey remains an utter mystery. The victim does not lose blood or any other vital fluids, and yet the Metroid extracts energy: identifying this energy is our central problem. It takes no physical form, and yet without it, the victim dies. We will continue to research this matter, as the isolation of this life-giving essence could be the key to our ascendance.

Life energy, life force, essence, spirit, soul, they're all the same thing.

That is the exact quote I have been going by.

Ok theres one new and possibly interesting thing, can you show me the lightning? that a phazon metroid can fire plz?

The EG is larger than a metroid. Assuming the EG has a bank of stored energy he would have had to do it for years. W/e he did to the EG, it still defeated him and sent him fleeing.

If Metroids can suck souls, Kain wins by starving it death.

If Metroids don't suck souls (and they don't), it's a stalemate since Kain can't harm it but he could escape them by turning to mist.

If Kain is in mist form couldn't the Metroid just shoot lightning through the mist and vaporize it? The Phazon Radiation emanating from the Metroid alone could possibly kill Kain

Also I'm gonna have to agree with Sin Volvagia for once, I don't think that the Metroids consume souls, it's possible that they consume spirit since that is the "life force" supposed by many religions to be keeping living creatures alive.
I also think they absorb everything about the creature they attack, memories, spirit, energy, everything except soul really. Which gives the best explanation of why Samus had the Hyper Beam when the Metroid gave her the energy it had just pulled from Mother Brain

Edit: even if they do pull souls it's a stalemate because a Phazon Metroid can phase out of time/space whenever it's attacked.

I forgot about the Phazon. It's death then.

Phazon > Kain.

Eh, I don't see any real difference between souls and life force, but I don't think it really matters. Metroids > Kain.

To be honest, Mist form isn't anywhere near as useful as BT wants it to be.

If Kain cant damage its soul (or it has none), it has no blood and its nigh physically invulnerable. Then the best shot he has is mind control, or he loses.

mmm Are metroids mindless?

They are vulnerable to Ing Possession. Of course, that's a Tallon Metroid, not a Phazon Metroid. Phazon Metroids are Tallon Metroids that are either enhanced or corrupted by phazon, which is known to cause insanity.

So they can be possessed, in that case Kain could possibly possess or mind control this metroid. If its apprently insane then it wont be able to provide any defence either.

Mind controlling an insane alien does not sound feasible to me. Too different and too dangerous.

Dangerous? why has someone attempted to mind control the alien and been harmed in the process?

No, its the mind controlling a crazy thing part thats dangerous. In the history of fiction, thats never been shown as a smart move. Most of the time they go crazy too. But I suppose thats just suppposition, so you can just ignore me if youwant.
