"Well ain't this interesting? We got ourselves someone who thinks they can play hero. Well you'll soon learn that everything has a freezing point!" Cold Front said then blasts a continuous ray of ice after Marcos.
Marcos blocks the ice ray with his bare hand and continues to do so.
"Sorry frosty! I'm packing heat!" Marcos says standing his ground.
"Not for long your not hot head." Stacey says through the communicator.
"Hey! Who's side are you on anyway?" Marcos
"The side that wants you to make it back in one piece. Cold Front's right! Your temperature is dropping and since you haven't used any sign of Pyrokinesis you're at a big disadvantage." Stacey
"Then I better find another way to stall him. Guess its time to improvise." Marcos says noticing the steam cloud that is once again providing him cover.
Cold Front would also notice the steam cloud cover Marcos and halts his ice assault.
"You should give up and accept your fate. Your cold, cold fate." Cold Front
The steam withers away and Marcos was no where in sight.
"What?... Now where did he go?" Cold Front asks as he looks around.
Before Cold Front new it, a car began to slide his way from the side and knocked him to the ground.
"Funny thing about an icey asphalt... No friction what's so ever." Marcos
"Clever, clever. But its going to take a lot more than that to stop me!" Cold Front said then gets to his feet.
He then raises both hands and small icicles began to gather and form a large ice block from thin air.
"Well..." Marcos
Cold Front then brings his arms down which forced the ice block in Marcos's direction. Marcos would dive out of the ice ball's path in order to dodge it.
"Your lasting pretty long in my frosty weather. Maybe I should, turn it down a notch!" Cold Front says then stretches out his arms causing a sudden snow storm on the bridge.
It took a minute but Marcos eventually began to feel a sudden chill that crawled his blood.
"Uh oh." Marcos
"I'm guessing that 'uh oh' means you know your body temperature is plummeting at a faster rate." Stacey
"Things are really starting to cool down! Now... Let's see if you can move as fast as you did before." Cold Front said then began to make a multiple number of ice blocks above him.
Cold Front launches the ice blocks one at a time. Marcos was able to dodge all but the last one which blew him back and he lands on the icey ground hard.
"I'll admit that you gave me a little warmup. I definitely have more confidence in my abilities at the very least so thanks for that. But, as you and all the rest will soon learn..." Cold Front says all as he walks up to Marcos.
Marcos slowly gets to his feet and can feel his body temperature dropping. Cold Front immediately grabs Marco's shoulders the second Marcos looks up and sees Cold Front right in front of him.
"The cold hard truth!" Cold Front
Then, from Cold Front's hands, ice began to spread all over Marcos's body. Marcos felt helpless as the ice covered all over and finally got to his head completely in casing him.
"Now this is a work of art. Very... Realistic." Cold Front says turning his back and began to walk off.
Moments later, after Marcos got iced he found himself a prisoner in his own mind and surrounding by nothing but darkness. Yet, he wasn't alone.
"Salazar.... Marcos Salazar...." The Fire Bird calls out.
"... Huh?... What?... Who?..." Marcos
"Your courage is admirable... But, rushing into battle without knowing what you're capable of is quite foolish." Fire Bird
"Who... Are you?" Marcos
"I do not have a name Marcos and to be honest... I have not kept track of any name given to me throughout the ages. I am however, the reason for your second chance at life that you are willingly throwing away." Fire Bird
"What? You mean?.... You're the, Phoenix?" Marcos
"If that is what I am called in this part of the universe then, yes. Now, do you want to continue this chat? Or fully commit to your cause?" Fire Bird
"Hm?... Wait... I got iced!" Marcos
"And before I grant you the power needed I have but one question... How will you use this power of mine?" Fire Bird
"...... Ever since I was a kid, all I've ever wanted to do was to prevent any further losses from the dangers of fire. Both of my parents died because of a freak Forrest fire broke out while we were camping. It would have gotten to me to if it weren't for my current fire chief Ed. He saved my life and inspired me to do the same for others.... So technically, you gave me a third chance." Marcos
"..... Well, it certainly has been a very long time since I've come across someone as honest as you. I shall grant you the knowledge and power needed." Fire Bird
Meanwhile outside of Marco's mind, Cold Front is walking away from where he encased Marcos in ice and Stacey continuously tries to contact him and the other members of the Alliance.
"Crud! Crud! Crud! Crud! I knew it! I knew it! Stupid rookie move Stacey! Ugh!!.... Hm? What's this?" Stacey says noticing Marco's body temperature rising at an extreme rate.
Steam quickly begins to rise from from Marco's body, with an incredible effort he breaks his ice shell and from the ice did a large bird shaped fire form arises from Marco's body.
"Huh?" Cold Front says as he turns around feeling the heat.
The bird shaped fire form was then drawn back into Marcos who stands firm and ready for a fight.
"Hey snow cone! You're nothing but a cool breeze to me! And I'm here to bring on the thaw!" Marcos
"Marcos! You're OK! You're on fire?! You got fire!" Stacey says being over joyed and noticing Marco's flames on his body.
"Yeah.. I'm starting to think I'm really lucky." Marcos
"Well, well... The fireman finally found his flare. It makes no difference to me!" Cold Front says raising his hand and and blasting another ice beam after Marcos.
Marcos reacts by raising his own hand and fires a fire blast counteracting the ice beam. The fire quickly burns away the ice and makes its way straight for Cold Front.
"Oh no!" Cold Front says just before the fire knocks him back.
Marcos aims his hand behind of him, fires fire blasts from each hand to propel him toward Cold Front and got to him in a matter of seconds. Cold Front glances up in time to see Marco's fist connect with his face and knock him against a frozen car rendering him unconscious.
"By the way. I'm the Phoenix." Marcos
"Yes!! Woohooo!! I knew you could get the job done!.... Sort of.... Nice work hot head!" Stacey
"All in a days work." Marcos
