After Alara's battle with the assassin Katherine, her private planet now has a 5 mile hole that's almost bottomless and a large chasm that's still freshly burning with Onyx ki. Alara still lies on the ground on her back. Though she still hasn't woken up, her Majin regenerative powers has already healed her body back to full strength just minutes after the assassin had fled. Alara's been unconscious for almost an hour, but is gently brought back to consciousness by the sensation of a single raindrop hitting her face. She slowly opens her eyes to see the dark clouds that are now washing over the surface of her planet. Her blurry vision focuses as she looks up at the clouds and eventually the memories of her battle return to her in full detail, apart from how it concluded. She listens closely and can't hear the hum from her pillars anymore. "She got away..." Alara says to herself. She looks at her hand as the rain begins to pour down more on her. She grits her teeth angrily. "Dammit! After everything... how did I still lose? I had her in my grasp. How did she manage to get away?" Alara asks in frustration. She sits back up looking off at the now destroyed landmarks of her planet. Alara then let's out an annoyed sigh. "That damned woman, she left me such a mess to clean up." Alara complains as she gets to her feet. As the rain hits her body and dampens her clothes, Alara makes short work of repairing her planet, putting everything back in normal condition in just a few minutes. Once she's done with her repairs. She heads inside her home to shower. Alara closes her eyes as the warm water hits her face, running down the curvature of her body and down to the drain below. Her mind bounces back and forth between her fight with the assassin Katherine. The times she seemed to have the upper hand, only to be outdone again and again up until the end. She opens her eyes, the sting of her defeat starting to get more and more potent. "She knew my every move. Whenever I closed the gap, she'd just shove me away like a child..." Alara says, anger beginning to swell up inside of her. She calms herself and continues her self-reflection for a moment longer before getting out and dressing herself again. As Alara exits her bathroom and goes to her living room, she pauses for a moment. "I've done too much too quickly. My arsenal is wide, but I still don't have the knowledge to bring it all together. If that assassin found me once, she can do it again and I need to be prepared for when she does. As much as I hate to admit it, if she comes back, I might not get so lucky a second time..." Alara says with an annoyed sigh. After a moment of thought, Alara smirks to herself. "Luckily, I know exactly what to do. Call it cheating, but I don't exactly have the time to sit around and train my abilities anymore. Not with her on my back." Alara says.
She then opens a portal under her feet and reappears back in Universe 5's Heaven Realm, just outside of the city of Olympia where the Palace is. She tilts her head in confusion when she sees commotion and smoke coming from within the city. "Hmm. Now that's new. I sure hope that arson isn't a sin to these people, or else I may have a lot of new Angels to toy with in the future." Alara says with a small chuckle as she makes her way to through the large gates of the city. She looks around and the city is in shambles. Broken windows of stores, fires in the streets, and small riots broken out around almost every corner. Alara puts a hand to her chin, thinking to herself. "Hmm. It appears the Queen's absence hasn't done any favors for this place. I almost feel a little guilty about all of this. Then again, that's probably just Seraphina's soul trying to poke through. Now that I have her soul, her thoughts are also mine to an extent. But a much larger part of me couldn't be more disgusted by the hypocrisy on display. All these Angels do is act so high and mighty with their noses in the air. And look at what they do the second they think no one is looking. They're all no different from anyone else. They're all sinners, but not quite as much as I am..." Alara says, her disgusted glare turning into her devilish smile. Alara stops walking and cracks her neck to the side. Her hair turns blonde and her skin tone lightens up a little as she evens takes on the form of Seraphina. She opens her eyes and they glow yellow before she shows massive Angel wings and flies to the sky above the city. "STOP!" Seraphina screams, her voice echoing throughout the entire realm. All the citizens stop whatever it was they were doing, the sound of her voice making them shiver in fear. They look up to the sky to see their elegant Queen looking uncharacteristically angry. On instinct alone, everyone falls to the ground in a deep bow, they're foreheads touching the ground. "Such behavior is not befitting of anyone with a shred of common sense! Let alone anyone who would call themselves citizens in my Kingdom! All of you heathens had better start repenting for all of the travesties you've committed in my absence. For your sakes, you'd better hope that the Gods are much kinder to you all then I will be!" Seraphina says as she opens one hand and all of the residents of Olympia are pulled through portals, taking them to jail cells in a prison just outside the city. Seraphina then sighs, retaking the form of Alara before floating back to the ground. "There. That may have been a bit out of character, but that should at least give me sometime to think about what to do with this place in the meantime. But for now, I have something more important to do." Alara says as she heads for the Palace.
