Phoenix stepped out of Talyn's base of operations, a glare on her face as a cold wind brushed by. The hero then took off running. Soon, the trees of the forest surrounding Talyn's cabin was replaced with cars speeding through the city streets. In the distance, there was a large cloud of smoke.
Phoenix leapt into the air, landing in the middle of the smoke. "How nice of you to finally join us." A mysterious voice stated, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Were you waiting for little old me?" Phoenix remarked, a small smirk on her face.
A figure clad in a blue and yellow jester's outfit stepped towards her. "Jester." "Phoenix." The two spat the other's name venomously. Deciding to hurry up and get the battle over with, she formed a ball of fire, throwing it at Jester. Jester hissed as he jumped to the side, the ball grazing his arm. The villian then tossed a jack-in-the-box at Phoenix. The hero gazed at it warily. The device then began to play its familiar song. Phoenix jumped backwards as the song ended. At the end, the box exploded. When the smoke cleared, Jester was nowhere to be seen.
With a sigh, Phoenix tapped the symbol on her chest plate. In Phoenix's place stood Talyn, gazing around with a frown. "That loser managed to do this?" She asked nobody in particular, gesturing to the crater where the jack-in-the-box was. With a sigh, she began her trek back to her cabin.
