As we all know, Catcocomics is overly obliged to not kill any one unless it is the only way to put some one out of their agony (basically killing in the name of mercy). Why do I bother mentioning this? I got a new book called "What if...", a book that gives 'serious scientific answers for absurd hypothetical questions'.
Why are these things important? 2 reasons:
1. The book states that a simple baseball traveling at 90% the speed of light would cause a fusion reaction large enough to level everything in 1 mile diameter via massive plasma cloud.
2. As I stated in my first post, phoenixes
have learned to create a variety of shields
and by that, I wasn't talking of circular objects that people hold with their left arm (right arm if left handed).
"So, what does all this science jargon mean?"
It means that in order to even go near the speed of light whilst in an atmosphere, all phoenixes must use some sort of arcane shield (hopefully, I stated something about phoenixes having to choose an element after a certain amount of time using only minor arcane magic before now) that, in short, prevents air molecules from fusing with the body of a phoenix (a shield that uses up a bunch of star power when used, only usable in atmosphere and auto activation to prevent world ruination) should they go near-light speed.
And as for the crater, well, worst case scenario, there's now a bunch of radioactive material decaying beneath the lake. However, thanks to Ross flooding the crater twice, pretty much all the radiation is at the bottom, since water is that resistant to radiation.
But wait, this presents a new problem: wouldn't Catcocomics have been super-radiated?
At first, yes, but it may be safe to assume that anything dangerous has already decayed, not to mention that Catcocomics' cold aura (that has only ever been active during the event in question) would likely have been enough to keep the radioactive material from really doing any harm.
In short, any harmful radiation on Catcocomics and the visible terrain has probably dissipated and any radioactive materials are now beneath the lake, on able to cause harm to things at the bottom of the lake.
