"WHOOSH!" Seraphina rapidly approaches and flies towards the crimson wolf, shortly after seeing her mentor get murdered, dodging multiple bullets mid flight.
Multiple clashes are in progress during the battle. Multiple artillerymen rush to ready the cannons while the garrisoned footmen hold out the attackers.
The royal guards leading the fray, using their synaptical triggers to attempt to turn the tides. Flames, Thunder, Ice, Water, Beams of Plasma and Magma are used in the battlefield and cause mass destruction and property damage.
Seraphina and the Crimson Wolf clash their blades, exchanging blow after blow. They trade shots with their rifles, both of them miss.
Seraphina conjures multiple swords of light, the extreme temperature burning the moisture in the air and creating a smoke that covers the shape.
The crimson wolf attempts to block the swords of light, but it melts through his blade, punching a small hole directly through his lower leg.
He groans in pain and dashes away creating multiple mirrors that surround Seraphina. They all reflect the same image, the Crimson Wolf, adding a factor of confusion to the battle.
Seraphina decides to solve this problem by... vaporizing all mirrors in the area. She flies into the air and, using her enchanted sword, fires a beam of high temperature plasma and vaporizes the area from up high. The Crimson Wolf hides behind the concrete debris and walls, using his rifle to attempt to bring the Knight down.
He continiously uses the mirrors as shields to protect himself, while using the rifle to attack, both fighters at a standstill. At a last ditch effort, the crimson wolf erects multiple tall and sharp glass spires to force the Knight to land, which instead incites the Knight to dodge and instead counter with an attack of her own.
With immense focus and resolve on her face, she aims her sword at the sky, and empowers the sun's light to superheat the entire area, attacking her opponents all at once, overwhelming the glass walls of the Crimson Wolf.
The Crimson Wolf, fearing an unfavorable battle result, puts his hands on the ground, and muster's up all of his stamina to erect a gigantic dome of hard layered glass to temporarily block out the attack, disorienting all fighters on the battlefield.
Multiple glass projectiles dismantle the readied artillery aiming at his men.
This causes multiple civilin onlookers to be stuck inside the dome, and multiple people from far away look at their buildings to see a gigantic dome in the city.
Members of the royal guard, preoccupied in the fight, observe the encasing, curious and anxious on what happened.
"RETREAT!" The Crimson Wolf says, with an anxious face, he screams with resolve. Ordering his men to fall back. "I underestimated their strength." he thought to himself. He dashes through the battlefield, limping due to his bleeding and injured leg, and punches through the glass encasement and dissapearing into the crowd.
Multiple henchmen are caught in the retreat and are shortly executed, though a majority does get away. Seraphina exits the dome and rains down multiple swords of light at the attackers, though she is then limited by her stamina in is forced to stand down.
The Crimson Wolf, hiding outside the city walls, laying beside a large tree, coughs out blood from exhaustion, hyperventilating due to the large stamina consumption. "This oughta shave a year off my life..."
-- MEANWHILE, IN OVERWATCH HQ, PRIMERO CITY --
A man, hurriedly rushing towards the headquarters on a horse, with a shocked and anxious look on his eyes scream to the trainees outside of the building right after he arrived. "THERE IS AN ATTACK ON THE CASTLE OF ASSEMBLY, WE NEED YOUR HELP QUICK!", Before he rushes off back to where he came from.
The trainees rush inside to share the news, and an entire company of Overwatch Forces are deployed to the scene, including Squad 7, though Gabi was left behind due to his injuries.
Apprentice Aiko, Officer Kurt and Detective Klein, alongside Officer Mark are sitting on a large horse carriage, beside 4 other overwatch agents deployed to help in the battle, though they are already late.
They rush, and help in the dismantling of the glass dome, and rescuing the victims of the attack. Detective Klein aids and does some evidence gathering, questioning and looking for insights of the attackers, though his questions are shortly answer after he sees a mask covered in blood, similar to same mask he saw during his early years, and the same mask described by Gabi Astrea during his court hearing.
He then stomps and crushes the mask to pieces, before looking at the captured attackers, with a vigilant and angered look on his eyes. "I would've already executed these men if only we didn't need to save some for questioning." Seraphina said, sheating her glorious blade.
"Both of us already know the group behind this." Klein replied, before walking off into the distance and sits on one of the rubble.
Mark is in the area helping carry the rubble and aiding in general cleanup. Elias Thorne helps in putting out the fire, though he is still slightly injured, the damage is minor, nothing compared to the damages that Gabi had suffered.
Aiko is sitting outside on the stairs, Aiko sat on the stairs, sitting still during the cleanup efforts, the scale of death hitting her, deep in thought. This is the first time she had seem so much death and destruction.
"I miss my mom."
The scene changes to multiple memories of Aiko's sheltered childhood, her academy days, the academy friends and classmates she would never see again. She longed for that peaceful life once more, before standing up and dusting off her pants before moving off to help with cleanup.
"I wish I never signed up for this, ughh.."
...
Back at Primero City, Overwatch HQ, Gabi is looking through the window, having been watching the battle unfold from miles and miles away. He is still looking even after the battle has concluded, recognizing that very glass dome. He also knew who was behind the attack.
His face with clear frustration, he slams his desk, still covered in bandages. "I should have been there!" He exclaimed.
Then I would've been able to meet that man once more!
-
Multiple men arrive with horse carriages to save their rescued allies, including the Crimson Wolf. The man clearly frustrated with the failed attack, scratches his head and sighs in exhaustion before laying and resting on his seat.
"I definitely thought you would win!.. Are you getting weaker huh?" A man mockingly states before laughing.
"Shut up!.. I didn't expect that the Royal Guard would be that strong... especially that other one."
"The one with wings? Yeah she's a real pain. Didn't you bring the net launchers? That definitely SHOULD have worked or atleast forced her to ground."
"No, she just burned through the darn thing. Ill try a more reinforced net next time."
"By the way... how do you have resonance to two deities? Did you swear an oath to one? What did you sacrifice?"
"I did. I don't wanna talk about it, but just know I sacrificed alot just for this. Just shut up and take us to Exstasem, I need some sleep to clear my mind."
"Will do Bernard."

Primero City, Castle of Assembly.
Aiko effortlessly clears the rubble by turning the debris into dust by breaking the molecular bonds that keep them in place.
With a focused look on her face, with visible tolls on her stamina she continues to aid in the cleanup effort while Detective Klein wraps up his survey.
Seraphina lunges into the air and flies off to a distant floating island, obscured by clouds and fog, with the backdrop of a clear blue sky behind it, with tall buildings and spires that occupy the island. It is the Royal Palace, in which the Royal Family resides, and where the Forward Operating Base of the Royal Guards are stationed.
Multiple Sky Cruisers are parked in the Sky Port of said island, commonly consisting of Ambassadors, Emissaries, Nobility and both Domestic And Foreign tourists. The Sky Island, named "Exyllum Sky Castel"
