Phoenix Day

Cause
During training, Shades accidentally knocked out Maris and gave her a concussion and a cracked cheekbone. She was quite apologetic about it, and attempted to nurse Maris back to health, but George was extremely angered by this and said the following to Shades:

George: "You. Get out of here. You're a danger to the love of my life, and everyone here. Out. You're nothing but a cold. Blooded. Killer."

Shades: "Ha ha ha... I see. YOU KNOW WHAT?! IF YOU THINK I'M SO HORRIBLE, LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN GO WITHOUT ME!"

"Prepyro"
Prepyro is before Shades set part of the SOFB on extreme fire. She stormed off to her room and carved "Cold blooded killer" into her dresser, and set a few pictures of George, her mother, her father, and anybody who ever made her angry. She walked out into the Common Area, and said some choice words.

"Whilepyro"
Whilepyro is when Shades left her room and walked into the Common Room, said some choice words (that shouldn't be listed here), and then had a mental breakdown. She was wearing her gloves, yet fire came out of them anyways, even though she didn't want them to. A huge blast was then created from her air and fire powers combining. Air controlled her mental health, and fire controlled her anger. Since Air basically collapsed, it combined with fire and created a huge blast. Cirrow, Sophia, Christa, Raven, and George were all severely injured in the blast and all but George, Cirrow, and Christa were knocked out. Christa summoned a small moon that barely deflected the blast, and she was not knocked out. George was standing behind the sofa anyways, and ducked, almost completely avoiding the blast. Cirrow was in the "outer ring," and got the least of the blast. He fell on the sofa, almost completely uninjured. He transformed into a fly and went with Shades when she was taken by the army. George had called for them to remove her as commander, but they decided she needed some time in captivity, much to George's dismay, as he wanted to be the Commander.

"Aftershock"
Aftershock was all the events that preceded Whilepyro. Shades was in the Area 51 Holding Tank, and she was there until June 28th, until she escaped from the aid of everyone except George. SOFB recognized that it was George's fault, as he refused to acknowledge the fact that Shades was trying to nurse Maris back to health, and they turned against him. They arrived back in time for a dinner with the president on July 4th.

Trivia

 * The gloves that Shades was wearing in Phoenix Day were kept in Sophia's memory box, even though they were charred and had huge holes in them.
 * When the army took Shades, she was dying. She had a lung problem, which she needs medication for, but collapsed of asphyxiation. She was administered medication afterwards, and she slowly recovered.
