Breaking Down day 19
Phoenix and Christina were training in the gym on Saturday. They were working on their hand to hand combat. Atlas had walked in, and was watching them spar. Damian was already there.
"Look at them go!" Atlas said in wonder. He had no idea they could fight like that.
"You should see what Christina can do with water," Damian replied, while they looked on. The boys had started sparring each other with their lightsabers. Damian's was silver and had a black and gold core. Atlas's was orange with a yellow and orange core. They were all just having fun when Piper froze.
Phoenix was at the Hydra base. Atlas had been hit by her training blade, and was bleeding quite heavily. She was terrified. She ran to Christina, who was like an older sister to her.
"Chrissy, please help him." She cried.
"I will, you need to calm down ok." She replied.
Instead of it going the way Phoenix remembered, Atlas bled out and died. Phoenix in the real world was breaking down. She couldn't move. Atlas walked over to her, and placed his hand over the flame soulmarks on her wrist.
"Phoenix, open your eyes." Atlas called to her.
"Atlas, why did you leave me?" Phoenix asked, still not all there. "Phoenix, I'm right here, and I'm not leaving you." Atlas said, trying to reach her. The seventeen year old was freaking out himself when Damian put his hand on Atlas's shoulder.
"Atlas, you need to focus on your bond. Close your eyes, and visualize it as two strings tying you together," Damian instructed. Atlas did so, and saw their soulbond in the force. "Good, now, walk to her and follow the bond, stay close to it, and whatever you do, don't let go. Now, go get your soulmate."
Atlas walked to where Phoenix was sitting next to his limp body.. He now understood why she was closing in on herself in the real world. He picked her up with one arm and carried her back along their bond, and into the real world again. When Atlas brought her back, she was hysterical for a little while. Then, she realized he wasn't actually dead, and he was perfectly fine. Christina and Damian realized that they had work to do with their Padawans.
