dameofeverlivingflame(I had this absolutely terrible idea, and I fucking need to write it down. Fuck me. Note: as far as any of Gina's 'canons' are concerned, this did not occur, but the idea hit me at work, and I need to get it out before I go crazy)
It was said to be half of all life. But what happens when it is. Regardless of place, regardless of anything?
It's the field of battle. Chaos reigns among hero, villain, and Nexus resident alike. Horrific alien monsters unleashed, and one of our combatants is none other that Gina Brenton, the Phoenix Knight. Standing out in the crowd she's fighting and decimating, bright burning flames surrounding her, swords alight with divine power and Phoenix Flame, cleaving enemies in twain.
She stands with so many others against this almost unstoppable tide. But as with all things, some are inevitable.
Some are the best option you have available. Some are just happenstance. A certain Someone Gina knows back home might call it Fate.
It happens.
It's hard for her to describe. There's a deafening clap of thunder. Even she, with her poor mystical senses can feel it. The alien monsters scatter at the sound, and probably the feeling.
Gina herself staggers, something feeling off, she stumbles forward slightly, "Whoa. That's... What the hell, man?"
One of her companions notices, "Hey! You okay over there?"
"I dunno, something feels weird." Gina shakes her head, trying to clear the haze that's suddenly filling her vision. Just as suddenly, her wings form--destroying yet another jacket in a blaze of fire as they solidify into the great feathered forms connected at her shoulderblades. "I feel...."
"Like something's, I dunno. Pulling at me." The surrounding temperature suddenly started to raise. As divine power went to war with something that could warp reality. All of it causing anyone surrounding Gina to suddenly step back as the Divine gift of the Phoenix was suddenly torn from Gina's being, screaming in a fury that sounds very much like an angry screeching bird, as the tall redhead began to dissolve into dust, "....Oh. That's bad..."
The divine gift in question became a great glowing bird, with an intense, strikingly familiar green-eyed gaze. Gina's swords surviving the purge, but jabbed into the ground, blades first, the bird sitting on top of them, flickering like an intense flame. Any who approached with be bathed in heat.
Angry heat.
Touching either the bird or the twin Phoenix swords would result in a lashing out. Two voices, in angry harmony ripping through their mind:
"W̡E̤̠̭͚̪͖͎͘ ͎A̜͝W͝A͉̙̞I҉͉̥͍̻͚T͞ ͖̠͎̫O̙̥̪U̼͚͔͢R̘͚̦͖ ͇͉͡C͎̩͎̳̤H͏̳̲̫̱O̯S̺̬̺̮̝̯̱E̬Ń̞̟̺̗̭̦ ҉K̟̥̹N̮̲̞̤̼͙I͙̥̼͎̬̤̠G̷̘H̡̩T̮͇̖͕̙́"
And being not the chosen Phoenix Knight, the intrusion would be brutal. Enough to force them Away.
