The Warden laughs maniacally as he picks up Phoenix’s Blade of Justice.

Phoenix looks at the Warden, rage in his eyes. He can barely stand up, his limbs shaking. He felt like his chest was completely broken.

 You......bast......ard......

 YOU BETTER NOT DO ANYTHING WITH PHOENIX! I'M NOT LETTING YOU KILL ANYONE FROM THIS ALLIANCE!

 Hah.......hah.......you think I'd listen to you? Such an insignificant little person!

The Warden then points the Blade of Justice at Phoenix, as he prepares to attack.

 YOU BETTER......NOT........KILL ANYONE!!!!!

 Oh Phoenix, you had so much potential. You did. You could have defeated me, along with the rest of your stupid heroic team. But guess what? I’m leading now, and I’m going to win this. You will be forgotten by your team. Your species is dying and all in all.

You're just a stupid birdhuman.

 You.......piece of sh-

Suddenly, the Warden throws Phoenix's Blade of Justice at him. Finite tries to stop it, but it is too late.

A loud stab is heard as the Blade of Justice goes through Phoenix's chest and out the center of his back. Phoenix's eyes start to slowly close up

 N…..no…... PHOENIX!!!!!!!

Phoenix starts tearing up. Finite tries to yank the Blade of Justice out, but it is firmly stuck within his chest.

Just then, XP8 reappears with Oderfla by his side. Oderfla was just recovered from dying.

 Hey guys, did I mi- OH MY GOSH WHAT HAPPENED TO PHOENIX!

Oderfla runs over to see Finite holding Phoenix's critically injured body, with the Blade of Justice sticking gruesomely through it.

  PHOENIX! MY CREATION! WHAT HAPPENED!

 I’m……sorry……m…..master…..for….I’ve f…..failed you…...

  Phoenix......no......you can't just.......

Finite is close to breaking down. He could not see the life of a Alliance member disappear from his eyes.

Just then, Phoenix suddenly grabs Finite's hand

 B......before......I go........Finite.......

 WHAT IS IT??? WHAT IS IT!!!

 <XP8> Phoenix you can't just die like this! Your species need you! The team needs you!

<Phoenix> T….tell…..the….rest……of….the….team……that…..that….

<Finite> That they’re……great members?

Oderfla is starting to slightly sob as well.

Phoenix weakly smiles, blood leaking out of his wound.

<Phoenix> Yes.......than......k........you.......

As just as he said it, his eyes closed and his breathing stopped, as the Warrior breathed his last breathe, before his soul left his body, rendering Phoenix dead.

<Winner> Phoenix?! PHOENIX?!

<Ajani> Winner......Phoenix.......is dead......

<Oinite> NO! IT CAN’T BE! WE’VE LOST A FIGHTER!

Ajani and Winner start crying. Some of the creators start tearing up abit to see the loss of a wonderful hero in the alliance.

Suddenly, XP8 gets agitated.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> No. I’m not letting this happen. I’M NOT!

XP8 suddenly holds Phoenix’s dead body in his hands. A purple glow surrounds him.

Suddenly, Finite runs up to XP8, clutching his arm.

<Finite> Please! Please! Recover him!

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> Wait. I know what to do.

<Finite> PLEASE! RECOVER HIM!

XP8 glares at Finite.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> ENOUGH!!!!!! I know you’re desperate for him to come back. But think about it! Your team has two members out already. Lucidia is knocked out and Phoenix is dead. The Warden is clearly taking the lead. If I just recover him, its no use, because I’m just putting him back in the battlefield with the same power level as before. I can't just recover him and expect the battle to change suddenly.

<Finite> But, what can we do? Lucidia is out and there is no one else to rely on help for, other than the creators.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8>Simple. Two words. Inner Demon.

Finite stares at XP8, like as if he had never heard those two words ever before.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> The thing is that, I have known Phoenix for years. He has a larger power within him, but can only be awaken with my help. I will take Phoenix to another dimension, where I will recover him and let him tame his inner demon. Then, I'll teleport him back here. That way is more effective since he is more powerful, and be warned. Phoenix will be extremely violent, don’t ever provoke him. Show to him you're fighting on his side.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> Winner! Ajani! You two come over!

The two rush over, confused.

XP8 gives them two glowing green swords.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> They are projectile swords. Use them to launch projectiles at the Warden. They deal considerable damage. You two will take Phoenix’s place for the moment. I know what I can do.

XP8 suddenly dissipates into nothingness, taking Phoenix along with him.

<Sparky> I’m not letting this Warden kill ANYMORE of our fighters.

  That’s it. I’m not letting anyone else die. - Suddenly, Phoenix shot open. He saw only darkness around him.

<Phoenix> Wh…..where am I?

Phoenix tried to move, but he couldn’t. He was floating in something like space. He looked at his hand. His Blade was back in his hand.

<Phoenix> Well…..hehe…..

Phoenix then starts tearing up.

<Phoenix> I lost my life……I lost my friends…..I even lost my master……and I’ve lost the battle…… I'm sorry Master, for I have failed you.

Suddenly, the vincinity started getting brighter and brighter. Phoenix shielded his eyes from the brightness. From there he saw a figure walking towards him. A familiar one he felt he had seen before.

<Phoenix> M…..master?

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> It is me, my creation, Phoenix.

<Phoenix> You’re here! Phoenix tried running up to him, but he was locked in place. He could only flail around like a worm. <Phoenix> But, I am dead! How am I not in Limbo?

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> Good grief Phoenix, you know that now my power is unrestricted, I can start reviving people again.

Phoenix blushes a bit, for slightly forgetting his Creator’s powers.

<Phoenix> Well, I haven’t seen you for six years, that’s why.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> Hehe. This isn't the point of me doing this now. Because I know what you desire right now in your heart. Victory is closer than you think Phoenix. All you need is memories and rage now......

<Phoenix> Wh……what do you mean?

XP8 places his hand on Phoenix’s chest.

<Phoenix> What are you doing?

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> You’ll see.

Phoenix suddenly feels something that is, boiling up within in, like some sort of vengeance, resentment, anger, rage.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> Let it loose Phoenix. Let all loose.

Phoenix goes silent.

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> Look Phoenix. Look at the state of the universe now. Look at especially, the state of your species.

XP8 suddenly shows him a hologram. It shows the devastation of a planet of his species. Many of the Phoenix-human hybrids are dying due to being attacked by monsters summoned by the anti-creators.

<Phoenix> It……it can’t…..be….

<span style="color:grey;text-shadow:0 0 1px white, 1px 1px 1px white, 1px 1px 1px grey"> <XP8> Exactly Phoenix. Look at the state of your species. It makes you angry. When Fulgur was about to defeat you? You overcame it with anger. When you're upset, all you need is some anger to overcome it. Anger is the key Phoenix. Let the anger flow through you. Let it consume you and bring out your true inner strength......

And that was what Phoenix heard last. Now he was already thinking about everything injustice had done to him......
