After the soldiers dispersed due to the revelation of East being a manchild of a soldier, East was left alone wrapping a bandage around his wounded arm. With Sage behind him channelling an aura of flame on her hand, “Who's there!” East screamed in fear as he looked behind him, then the aura of flame was tossed at East, engulfing him in flame. He attempted to run, while yelling “help!” He then collapsed rolling left to right with his screams of agony being heard over the entire district, with some people in the shelter locked underneath the district heard the screams.
The screams stopped as silence filled the air, with East reduced to nothing but ash with a golden pendant labelled “34th East, Ogin Gaello.” The flame that engulfed East subsided with the smell of ash lingering in the entire city, with some former soldiers becoming curious and investigating the source.
“You disgust me..” Sage said with a hint of bitterness as she looked down at the ashes of the coward called East. “Such weakness, you remind me of the founder of one of the factions that was sent to capture my younger self 3000 years ago.” She said in disgust as she turned to the side to see multiple former G.A.A. soldiers looking at her horrified, they saw the golden pendant then turned back to her.
“What?” She scolded as they were still staring at her, unable to move in fear. With another group of G.A.A. soldiers with another cannon marching toward the sight. “What are they doing here? Did they capture the other district that fast?” A former soldier mumbled to the soldier beside him.

The group of soldiers with the cannon arrived then stopped at the scene, with one of them demanding “we have succeeded in capturing the forest district, where’s East.” Then upon closer look, the soldiers stumbled back in shock, they couldn't recognise the ashes left by East, but the golden pendant was self explanatory. “Who the hell did this?!” A large soldier yelled at the former soldiers, with the former soldiers slowly pointing at Sage.
“You monster! He was a great man!” The large soldier roared as the rest of the soldiers charged toward her. “You guys over there! Shoo, go live better lives or something!” She yelled toward the former soldiers who started fleeing.
Multiple soldiers were next to the cannon firing their energy charged rifles while the rest were using close up, energy charged spears and swords. She charged toward a soldier holding a sword before smashing the soldier’s face with her elbow, with her proceeding to grab his forearm then throwing him at the cannon which exploded from the force, with the explosion killing the soldiers with the rifles.
Another soldier stabbed her leg with a dagger then attempted to stab her with his other dagger but she snatched the dagger and stabbed the soldier through the neck, while she used the same dagger to stab the large soldier in the chest before erupting the man in flames. “We need to avenge East, kill her!” A soldier said before stabbing her in the chest with a spear, she would cough up blood before collapsing.
“We have done it!” The soldiers celebrated as some started to recognise a purple flame engulfing her whole body, then she yanked the spear out of her chest, with the wound healing completely, the soldiers already lost half their group, so in order to get back up they started to retreat. While Sage saw them retreating, she then engulfed her whole arm in red flame, then sent a spiralling blast of flame toward the retreating group, causing the buildings in front of her to be completely destroyed with some being melted. Only a single soldier managed to survive the blast, except the lower half of his body being melted completely, with him crawling slowly away.
