Half in the future, half in the past, this is the story of Larna’s battle against an old enemy.
At the end of the previous story, Larna thought that she had killed Phoenix – the Tiger, by causing a landslide to block off the entrance to a cave. Phoenix survived the landslide, but was trapped inside the cave for the rest of her life. She died a slow and painful death in the cave. Now, 1,658 years later, Phoenix is about to be regenerated. The cave is now deep under the ground just on the outskirts of Germancey. The cave is unearthed by a group of excavators. These guys take the skeletal remains back to an unethical Professor, who is conducting highly unethical experiments in regenerating human beings from their remains. Now he has the perfect specimen. Phoenix is regenerated in the Professor’s machine, which scans the bone structure for DNA traces, then reanimates the DNA similar to a transportation platform. Phoenix is kept strapped down on a table, while the Professor conducts tests on her to examine the regeneration process. After twenty-four hours, Phoenix started to degenerate. Her blood was found to be worn out, due to it having to work twice as hard than normal. It means she needs a fresh supply every day. Phoenix escapes, kills the Professor, then hits the streets. She wants to get Larna, but has to keep a fresh supply of blood handy everyday.
Her strength is unmatched. She cannot be killed by conventional means, because every day when she replaces her worn out blood, her body regenerates again, healing any wounds that she may get. As the body toll mounts, Phoenix gets used to the new technology and computer systems. When her ideal blood carriers have all been drained – she moved on to New Arizona and her real target.
Larna, who thinks that Phoenix is dead, returns to the future to find the mass of bodies rising. She, and a female police officer, start to investigate the rise in bodies being found. Phoenix attacks the female officer, but does not kill her. Just paralyses her. Phoenix captures Larna at the same time. Phoenix knows that to Time Travel is the only way she can get the blood required. Larna goes after her. She then realises what needs to be done to stop Phoenix’s reign of terror, is to stop her being trapped in the cave landslide, and to find some other way of destroying the Amazonian Warrior in the past…before she was ever regenerated. Larna disappears before Phoenix gets the chance to kill her though.
