Phoenix opened her eyes. Something's wrong. She glanced around, "Well I'm still in my room." The room itself was rather empty. Swords and blades of various sizes and styles hung on the wall opposite her. There was an empty closet to her left and the wall to her right was bare. Nothing seems out of place here but something feels wrong.

"Good morning Phoenix," Sea smiled as she opened the door.

Phoenix returned the smile, "What's up?"

"Nothing much," Sea cocked her head to the side, "Is something wrong?"

"Yes but I don't know what it is," Phoenix said. Frustration came across clearly in her tone.

"Oh," Sea nodded.

"Sea!" Shadow called from down the stairs, "You are supposed to be making sure nothing burns!"

"Sorry!" Sea darted down the stairs quickly.

Phoenix shook her head. Freaking kids. They're so carefree even when the world is falling to pieces. She got up and wandered slowly down the stairs.

"Hey Phoenix!" Locke waved at her.

"Hey," Phoenix waved back. She walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Shadow asked curiously.

"I'm going to check something," Phoenix walked out the door. Where was it again? I want to see if something changed. She planeswalked. There! She arrived, standing in the middle of the ruins of a once great city. "Something is definitely weird. Last time I was here the ruins weren't nearly this well-kept," she walked through the ruins, "and I officially have no idea where I'm going." Oh well it's gotta still be here.

"Hey you!"

Phoenix turned, "What?"

"What are you doing here? It's authorized personnel only."

This is where having Jace around would be really handy. Phoenix turned and stopped the man in his tracks with an icy look, "Oh really? And I'm not authorized?" Her left hand and hair lit on fire giving her a frightening visage.

He stuttered, "I—I, uh, you can do what you like."

Phoenix nodded and walked away. That was easy. Eventually she found a set of stairs that led down, "Well since the archive thing was underground I'll look down there."

"Welcome to the Archives."

"Well at least one thing's the same." That voice is just as annoying as ever. Phoenix sat down in a chair, "What happened?"

"The timeline has been changed and therefore everyone's memories have been altered or completely erased."

"Then everything that happened has been undone?"

"No."

"What happened?" Phoenix rolled her eyes. And it's just as vague as ever.

"Some events of the past you know have been undone and the people you know may not be as you remember them."

"What happened to cause that?" Phoenix asked. My patience with your vague answers is running thin. You won't survive that.

"The past you know is unclear as it has been almost completely erased from all archives."

"Great!" I'll just get answers a different way. "Actually on second thought I should probably just observe," Phoenix sighed. Meaning I have to find people. "Archive thingy."

"Yes?"

"Where's…" Um, who should I find first? Well since it's a memory problem I should probably look for Jace. Jace. "Where's Jace Beleren?"

"Jace Beleren? He is on Ravnica."

"Oh, okay. What is he doing? Well more like what has he been doing?" Phoenix asked.

"He has been working, though reluctantly, with Tezzeret on multiple things."

"Tezzeret?" Phoenix sighed. So with the timeline change everything changed. "What about Nicol Bolas?"

"The Dragon was presumably been destroyed and has not been seen or heard from since."

Phoenix cocked her head to the side. Odd. So Bolas is still not present at the very least but Jace is working with Tezzeret? "So get Jace away from Tezzeret long enough for me to get him to remember what really happened and then get him to fix everyone else's memories?" Oh no. That's going to be a lot easier said than done.

"That's not possible and the consequences of said action could be disastrous," the archive voice warned.

"Don't tell me what is and is not possible," Phoenix warned, "and I deal with disaster wherever I go."

"You could permanently alter everything!" the robotic voice showed the first trace of emotion ever.

"And? Maybe it's for the better."

"But—"

"You are starting to sound like the Jace I remember. Stop. No buts and I will be checking in with you again," Phoenix slammed her fist onto the table, "You are going to help me out with this and you are going to cooperate with me."

"Of course," it said submissively.

"Good," Phoenix nodded, "I'll be right back." She returned to the Lotus Inn on Ravnica. "FLAME!"

"Huh? Yeah what?" Flame jumped out of his skin.

"Good, I need to talk to Echo."

"She's in the basement."

"Okay," she walked down the metal staircase to the basement. Well at least these guys didn't change. She opened the door to the basement.

Echo glanced up, "Phoenix? You don't come down here often."

"I need a jumper," Phoenix paused, "I actually need you to modify it to be able to hold an entire archive plus a talking android thingy."

"Okay," Echo nodded, "It definitely wouldn't be the weirdest thing you've requested." She smiled, "Give me a couple days."

"Alright," Phoenix nodded. She grabbed Echo's arm and punched a 5 digit number into the gauntlet on her forearm, "You'll find me here."

Echo nodded.

Phoenix returned to the archive, "Alright, it'll be a few days so I'm just gonna hang here for a bit."

The archive nodded.

Phoenix sat at one of the computers, "Alright. So since there's a little bit of a wait I'm going to kill time by looking into everyone else." Gideon! She typed Gideon's name into the search bar. "He's working with the Order of Heliod? Gross." Phoenix sighed. Man? Am I completely screwed? My works cut out for me with Jace and Gideon let alone Elspeth and Ajani and Ral and everybody else. I wonder if Nissa's alive. I sincerely hope Lilianna isn't. Although if she is things could turn out differently. "Archive, where's Lilianna Vess?"

"She is also working with Tezzeret."

"So she is alive," Phoenix sat back in the chair, "Go back to Gideon."

"Of course."

Phoenix continued reading, "Blah, blah, blah, this is so boring." Hurry up Echo. I know it hasn't even been half a day but who cares? "Wait go back!" She scrolled back up to reread the paragraph she had skimmed. "Uh-oh. Archive, what's Tezzeret's little organization called?" Her voice was tense and hesitant.

"The Infinite Consortium," the archive stared simply.

Phoenix swallowed nervously, "This is really bad."
