Athanatos, now alerted by KM Ironfist attacking Phoenix, attempts to fly over to Phoenix to save him.

[Athanatos] NO!!! GET AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!!!

Athanatos attempts to charge fire and slam it into KM Ironfist, but KM Ironfist simply uses his other hand and slams Athanatos on the ground multiple times before throwing him to the side. Athanatos gets up weakly, while seeing Phoenix getting pummled. Phoenix is trying to attack him, but fails, now that his Blade of Justice was knocked to the side.

[Athanatos] No....NO!! PHOENIX!!!

Athanatos clasps his head. His thoughts are clouding his mind and he is slowly losing his sanity. Slowly......

[Athanatos] d.....DAAMN IT!!!! GRRHNNNHGH!!!

'''"Athanatos! Your brother is dying!!!"

"WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING??!!"

"GO UP THERE AND SAVE HIM!!"

"YOU'RE LEAVING HIM TO DIE?!!"

All the thoughts clouding his mind. He was losing it. It was a game of tug of war between insanity and sanity.

Meanwhile, XP8 was still in Empyrean, and was checking occasionally on the realm.

''' [XP8] I don't feel right. I feel that Phoenix is in danger. '''

XP8 closes his eyes, and he manages to see into Citopia. Much to his horror, Phoenix is indeed in danger, getting stomped, while Athanatos looks visibly injured.

''' [XP8] No more time. I need to help them. '''

XP8 spawns his Blade of Infinity.

''' [XP8] Time for me to go. '''

XP8 leaps out of Empyrean, into the real world, before warping through space-time to get to Citopia.

- Meanwhile, the situation of Phoenix and Athanatos isn't getting any better. Athanatos is still breaking down, while Phoenix is getting pummeled.

[Phoenix] At...than..!

Athanatos is yet to get out of his mind trap. Losing sanity......slowly......About to snap........

[Phoenix] Save......me......

[Athanatos] BROTHER!!!!!!

And then, it happened. He lost it. The rope lurched over to the side of insanity.

[Athanatos] I WON'T...... LET YOU KILL MY BROTHER!!!

And then, a huge shockwave rocked across the entire area. A red aura appeared around Athanatos.

 [Athanatos] DIE!!!!!!!

In a split second, Athanatos boosted at such an incredible speed at KM Ironfist, knocking it away from Phoenix. Phoenix was just able to live without getting knocked out.

[Phoenix] Wh....What the?!

 [Athanatos] HOW DARE YOU HURT MY BROTHER!!!!!!

Athanatos, now completely overwhelmed by rage and insanity, threw KM Ironfist with all his strength straight at a bunch of mooks, killing them.

[Phoenix] Athanatos?! How??

Athanatos then grabs KM Ironfist by its mechanical arm, swinging it around at such speed, before throwing it to the ground, then kicking it to the way.

 [Athanatos] NOW YOU FEEL WHAT MY BROTHER FEELS!!! DO YOU?!! DO YOU??!!

Athanatos, as a final move, grabs the robot by its head.

 [Athanatos] You. YOU MAKE ME SICK.

And then flings it into the sky, causing it to land a few kilometres away.

Athanatos then runs over to Phoenix. He has managed to heal himself slightly, but not much. He still feels dizzy and still has multiple bruises over his body.

 [Athanatos] Phoenix! Are you ok? Please tell me you're fine!

[Phoenix] Physically.....I'm sorta am, but HOW DID.......I didn't even know you had a rage mode like I did! You literally knocked that robot clean off me!

Just so, XP8 lands by their side.

''' [XP8] Phoenix! Are you alright? '''

[Phoenix] I am, I'm just slightly cut here and bruised there. Nothing too much now that I've healed myself.

 [XP8] And Athanatos, did you achieve some new fo- 

 [Athanatos] No time for a response, sir. Phoenix and I need to go save the mooks! Let's go Phoenix!

[Phoenix] Alright......

Phoenix makes his hand glow. His Blade of Justice that was lying a few metres away flew to his hand and into his grasp. They carried on their task. XP8 teleported away, for he did not want to interrupt them.

-- Back in Empyrean, XP8 was still wondering how Athanatos had managed to achieve a rage mode similar to that of Phoenix.

''' [XP8] How? I've never seen him done it in front of me, let alone in front of a bunch of enemies. Oh well, I have to check on them occasionally. '''
