Epilogue: Resurrection

A few months after Kazna and Phoenix had killed each other, the Agents began their new plans. Several of them gathered around as they began to recover a lost life. In the middle of the street that had closed off to prepare, blurs of static began to take a form of a body. Agent Norton and Robinson smiled pleased.

"Welcome back." Agent Robinson said.

"How do you feel?" Agent Norton asked.

The man looked at him blankly, almost glaring. He peered around himself at the other Agents, then down at his hands and body... as if he was checking if he was the real deal. He turned back to the Agents and grinned like them.

"Like a new man." he replied.

"Your people await for your arrival," said Agent Robinson. "Phoenix."

He stared at them before chuckling. "Then shall we?" he moved past between the two Agents and walked into the crowd of them. They parted a path for him as he headed to the Underground head quarters.

Elsewhere, the Agents had disposed of Kazna's body and buried him in a graveyard as an unidentified burn victim. But not long after Phoenix had risen again, his body began to move again unconsciously. His eyes suddenly shot open and he attempted to sit up. He hit his head on the coffin top and fell back down.

He swore and looked around in the darkness. He couldn't see anything. He screamed and pounded on the coffin top. He finally punched a small hole in it and felt dirt come sprinkling down. He growled in rage.

He broke the hole bigger and stuffed some of the dirt in the back of the coffin to make some room to dig through. He finally reached his hand above the surface and wormed his way upwards. After he dug half his body out, he pulled himself up onto the grass and brushed himself off. A small family crowded around a gravestone two graves away stared in fear.

After brushing off the dirt, he walked away as if the family wasn't there. He walked to the edge of the graveyard, a cliff overlooking the city, and howled Phoenix's name.

The machines, unaware of Kazna's awakening, created another by planting his data into a fresh grown shell. Ironically, he was drawn into the very city where the Underground's head quarters was and built a life there. His name was different, his appearance was slightly different, and his personality was changed. Only his familiar face remained plastered on the new built body.
