In the hallway, Gaia was going about her normal business until she heard a loud "BANG" coming from Straus' door. She's startled by this and carefully approaches.

Bang...bang! ... BANG!!!

Straus' door flies open, nearly hitting Gaia. She narrowly dodges and looks upon her former pupil, who is surrounded by a white, erratic aura, while baring what seem to be translucent fox tails. He greets her through clenched teeth, "Hello, Ms. not-really-my-creator."

"What is this?!"

"I'm not spending another minute in here because of you."

Gaia is taken aback, "How- how dare you defy me! ...Perhaps death is a more appropriate punishment for you."

"You. Are so. FUNNY. You should have done that in the first place!"

"Better late than never, I say."

Quickly, Gaia readies the same magic that gave Straus his scar and fires it off at a rapid pace. Straus gets on all fours and moves out of the way like a predator. Gaia, realizing his difference in power, questions his actions, "STRAUS WHAT HAVE DONE?"

"Something you can't even hope to compare to!!"

"This impurity has gone on long enough!" Gaia attacks more, but Straus isn't even phased.

Now, it was his turn.

"Idiot..." Straus jumps up and begins to fight back, each hit fueled by his pent-up rage and hate.

"YOU. DON'T. KNOW. WHAT. IMPURITY. IS!!"

The last hit of the combo brings Gaia to her knees, she looks up at Straus with pleading eyes, but it is far too late for mercy.

"Now, LEAVE ME ALONE!" With one final strike, Straus knocked Gaia unconscious.

As the mighty Goddess lay on the tiled floor, Straus dropped to his knees and vomited, he was exhausted. Para emerged from his hand, causing the animalistic aura to fade away. "How do you feel?" Straus coughs, "Isn't it obvious? I've never done that before."

"Beat someone up?"

"No... this whole power-fusion deal. I don't think I'm completely used to it."

"Sorry about that."

"I wanna get out of here now."

"I'll help you with that." Para re-fuses with Straus, and with their combined power they summon a portal away from Gaia's home, grab Straus' World, and vow never to return.
