Shroud and Sorrow kept a wary eye on her as she began to leave.

Phoenix couldn't bear to look at them as she half limped away. She couldn't go after them, not in her current state.

They eventually returned to whatever they had been working on.

Another hero, one by the name of Crystalline, swung by where Phoenix had left the two villains to pick up where she had left off.

Sorrow and Shroud frowned when Crystalline appeared, quite unhappy at this new interruption.

Phoenix had been using the backstreets to get back to headquarters. Crystalline on the other hand was going straight for the two villains.

Sorrow sent tendrils of their ability snaking towards the hero, their eyes narrowed.

Crystalline was only slightly affected and instead pulled out a clear crystal. He then released a torrent of air towards the two. His abilities allowed him to store element energy into crystals and then release it as he saw fit.

Sorrow ducked behind a dumpster to avoid the gust, and Shroud flickered from view.

Crystalline proceeded to send a tremor through the Earth to locate Shroud before going after Sorrow.

Shroud was moving a bit erratically, likely because he knew Crystalline would be able to locate him easily.

Crystalline huffed as he stopped tracking Shroud due to his erratic movement solely focusing on Sorrow.

Sorrow was still behind the dumpster, seemingly waiting for him.

Crystalline crept around the dumpster and released another torrent of wind from his crystal.

Sorrow was pushed back, and sent energy racing towards Cystalline.

Crystalline bent over for a moment, but switched out the crystal and sent a wave of fire towards Sorrow in return for the grief.

Sorrow yelped, scrambling away before they could be burned.

Crystalline chased after keeping both a red fire crystal and light blue ice crystal on him. He threw the ice crystal onto the ground directing it towards Sorrow.

Sorrow yelped as ice shot towards their feet, scrambling away.

Crystalline used the ice and wind crystal to propel him towards Sorrow. At this point he shouted out, "You're not getting away this time!"

Sorrow stuck their tongue out, sending more of their power towards Crystalline.

Crystalline slid for a moment while he let the sorrow wash over him. He couldn't focus on pursuing the villain at that moment.

Sorrow began to make their escape, still sending their abilities towards Crystalline.

Crystalline gritted his teeth as he continued his chase after Sorrow. Phoenix on the other hand had finally made it back to headquarters and her office.

Sorrow countinued to run, letting their abilities swallow Crystalline whole.
