Mia gracefully touched down on the ground, manipulating the air to propel herself into the spirit world portal. Utilizing her powers, she manipulated the waters from Victoria Falls, flooding the spirit world and reshaping it with rocks. Quarris swiftly approached Mia, striking her onto a rooftop where a climactic battle ensued, a visceral exchange of blows and intense combat that left both combatants bloodied. Despite Quarris attempting to transform into a spirit form for an advantage, Mia's relentless assault and mastery over the elements prevented his transformation, keeping him in his physical state.

Meanwhile, the portal to the spirit world, hanging open in the sky, grew unstable, unleashing hellstorms upon Southern Province. Unyielding, Mia continued her onslaught against Quarris.

"I guess I'll be seeing you some other time. The name's Mia, Mia Kasonde," she introduced herself, extending her hand.

The two were about to part ways when a massive explosion echoed from a shop in East Park Mall. Brian instinctively shielded Mia, unaware of her true identity.
