Book 6, Chapter 99 – An Arduous Plight

Phoenix Ignis slowly opened her eyes She looked around and found herself in a prison, unable todown she saw that her body rapped up in chains These were especially crafted to lock up de her powers

Phoenix had the endary de chains couldn't hold her It was the sword lodged in her chest, continuously releasing it's frigid power, that suppressedany atteth

“bastard! You and your dirty fucking tricks Afraid of a fair fight?!”

The hot-tempered woman had never been bested like this in all her life She'd lost to a er and weaker than her How could she accept it? How could she not be furious? She raged against her bindings to no avail

“I wouldn't waste the energy, Mistress Phoenix We aren't going anywhere”

She stopped struggling long enough to turn toward the voice It came from behind her, familiar She didn't need to see who it was to know her cell ht you, huh”

The silver-haired man of middle years was locked up nearby He was in the sa with chains His ansas a lengthy sigh “I wasn't good enough, what can I say”

In his battle against Cloudhawk, carelessness had been his downfall That's how he'd gotten caught in Cloudhawk's pocket dier was useless The subspace domain was only a few hundred meters in area, hoas he supposed to beat Cloudhawk in such a cramped space? There was no suspense around whether he would end up captured

Both prisoners found it strange Why had they been spared? Why not just kill thehts were interrupted when the jail doors opened A young man entered, and when Phoenix saw hirind her teeth “Hot the balls, let's see ins round two!”

Frost's tepid response followed “You lost You have no right to be so loud”

This, of course, onlya loser?! Let me out! I'll tear your pansy ass to pieces with a tenth of rabbed the hilt of his sword With a swift tug, he pulled Riave orders to the others with hi them Have her put on some clothes”

The tere taken froht before Cloudhawk Phoenix opened herof curses the instant she saw him, but the words died in her throat She saw the dull, silver eye and it filled her with disquiet

That wasn't a normal eye It was the same as the Avatar's Did that mean she'd been defeated? If he now had the Eye of Time, could he also use its power? If that was indeed the case, he would be practically unstoppable!

“Cloudhawk, I knohy you spared us You can put it out of ht now” Bruno ell ahat sort of position the wastelander was in He needed strong allies, the stronger the better It was the only way he could fight the Gods “I cannot join you I never will”

Phoenix displayed a si my time!”

Cloudhawk did indeed hope to persuade these two to surrender They were pretty strong and if they agreed to join the Green Alliance it would be to their benefit However, it didn't look like he was going to er soht now every minute was precious, so he didn't have the tiuess that's what has to happen, then”

Phoenix and Bruno resigned themselves to their fate For his part, Bruno siht for the Green Alliance He had friends and loved ones in Stormford Phoenix, on the other hand, couldn't submit because her personality wouldn't allow her to If it was between death and surrender, the choice was easy She wasn't about to let herself be used by Cloudhawk

Cloudhawk stepped forward and released his dimensional powers They spread out to surround the two prisoners and then they vanished

Frost watched it all happen “Did you eliminate them?”

Cloudhawk shook his head “Not exactly I just sent the they are, there's no way they'll make it back here I'll let them stew out there for a little while”

Enes Cloudhawk had plenty of blood on his hands but he tried to avoid murder as much as possible Given a choice, he preferred internment Bruno and Phoenix were threats, but maybe sometime in the future they could be useful So rather than end teir lives, he chose to send them to the fourth dimension accessed by the phase stone – the one where he kept all his prisoners

Natessa Windham was also there, someplace
