The prison

A few days later, Phoenix woke up inside a cell without any of his gear... no armor, no guns, no nothing... just his clothes with a penknife and a photo in his pockets.

He was looking at the photo in which were Doc, Night and him, while he was standing on the cold floor made of stone.

Looking more and more at that photo, made him remember about his fight with Sixer and how he lost, because of hunter's dirty tricks.

He remained with nothing, no team, no gear, no brothers... no love... everything was lost for him... almost everything.

A true rebel never gives up, a true rebel will fight until the end of it, because that's what Phoenix said many years ago when he joined the rebellion "I'll save the world... or I'll die trying".

After some hours of meditating and thinking, someone unexpected appeared... One.

One: Well, well, well... well... if this isn't the great leader of team Phantom.

Phoenix: One, I was thinking that you are behind all of this, but...

One: But what?

Phoenix: But, I thought that the greatest soldier, or pone or whatever the hell you are, will strike me down in a fight one on one... but you send a bounty hunter... what was his name... Sixer?

One: The greatest bounty hunter.

Phoenix: Yeah, he was lucky.

One: Him, lucky? Oh, Phoenix, you make me laugh...

Phoenix: Yeah, lucky, and dirty, like you... I would say that you two are related in one way or another.

One: You're not stupid, aren't you?

Phoenix: I'm not, but what are you?

One: Well... because you're worthy... I give you the choice to join me in-

*cough* *cough* *cough*

Phoenix: What? Join you? I'd better stab myself in the heart or eat bullets than do such a dark thing.

One: That's what you think now... but in the near future you'll realize that all you ever dreamed about... fortune, women, power...

Phoenix: I have my family, my brothers, my girl-

Phoenix stopped talking because he remembered what Sixer did to Night.

One: Night...? Poor girl...

Phoenix: Don't pretend you care, you son of bitch!

One: Actually, I care... I ordered Sixer to kill her.

Inside of Phoenix, that fire of rage began to burn again, when he heard what One said. He jumped and got his hands through the iron bars, trying to catch One and make him suffer.

Phoenix: I'M GONNA KILL YOU, BASTARD!!!

One: Oh, classic... the rage of the hero.

Phoenix: Don't mess with me, One.

One: Me? Messing with you? Come on, Phoenix, you know I'm better than that.

Somehow, Phoenix caught One and brought him closer in order to rip his head off.

Phoenix: I know that you'll be dead if I get out of here, so you'd better have guards with you.

One: Guards!
