The eye that was scarred by Dark Zane'a claw becomes an orb of pure blackness... Forever staring out into an unending Abyss. Feeding off of each shadowy attack that graced him, Phoenix- No. this was not Phoenix. Whatever or whoever it was devoured the attacks that his opponent inflicted on him, darkness rolling off in wispy nodes as each dent in his armour unfolds into a billowing patch of shadow. That voice from before wasn't his own either. He opened his mouth-- that was clear enough to see. But somehow, that thing from before bypassed everything and just spoke. It didn't seem malevolent towards him... More like amused. [i]You ready, Luis?[/i][/b] [quote]I am, but this is totally unfair.

It connects to multiple pools of shadow that form behind him; gateways to an always hungry Abyss. Drawing power, drawing hunger. Phoenix lets loose the black arrow. It sails towards the beast instantaneously, leaving no room to teleport. The wisps of darkness that escape it turn into other arrows that stream towards his former friend, eventually creating a storm of black arrows. For a second, his form flickers. It changes into the black-hooded form of Jams, his face always hidden by the shadows. But then it melts outwards back into Phoenix's armour, hovering mid-air with one eye a literal ball of darkness. And then Phoenix targets the minigun on the shadowy form of Zane. It's tracking capability has been proved to locate targets going at Mach 2, so keeping him on target wouldn't be a problem.

It burns away the shadows, acting like much deadlier bullets to the shadows. [/b]
