Just as the battle was coming to an end, far away up in the cloud was where the Ark Maxim had landed.
Just as everyone on board had received an update via the Sea Snail, Alyssia had left the others behind as she took out a black coloured can beforehand.
A transformation took place as the clothes on her body changed and her body became transparent as she dropped down from the clouds.
She used a combination of the Germa technology and her Moonwalk footsteps to quickly let her appear over Rica Island as she watched the ongoing battle.
She watched the battle as it was reaching its final conclusion but she had kept her Observation Haki on the surroundings as she started picking up some strangely placed individuals along with some separate forces belonging to the people of the capital.
While everyone was kept busy with the final opponent that was the lawless king and the rest were dealing with the remaining forces, an attack was about to take place upon the side of the White Storm from those factions within the capital which were influenced by their greed.
Many triggers were about to be pulled upon receiving an order from the superiors and upon the trigger being pulled, there would be a lot of death that would follow.
Just as that was about to happen, Alyssia coldly smirked. "Not on my watch."
A massive amount of Conquerers Haki was released from her body as it swept across the battlefield.
A huge intimidating force swept those that she had targeted which overwhelmed them all and sent them into an unconscious state.
The guns that were previously aimed and had peoples trigger finger on had fallen to the ground with them while some were fired off towards the sky or towards their own people.
She continued to observe the situation as there were some extra attempts on her crew members lives but they posed no threat with her around so everything had ended quite peacefully.
Just as everything was coming to an end, the White Storm took charge of the territory that they had claimed and started going over their many spoils of war as they increased their vigilance towards the enemy that was hiding in the dark.
Far away there was several men who were dressed in noble attire and one of them held a Sea Snail in their hand. "Hello? Hello? Respond! Why have you not acted?! You idiots!"
"What should we do now?"
"The plan has failed."
"We can just try again."
"We have more pawns to use so just send them."
"What should we do this time?"
"There must be explosives somewhere… if we can trigger them all then we could take out a large number of them."
"You are right! That so called lawless king would definitely have a supply."
"Alright then we should do that but how do we lure them into it?"
"Just leave that to me. Heh. Heh."
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Suddenly light footsteps were heard nearby and it was far too close to them and too late for them to realise before several clean cuts were done to their necks and they dropped down to the ground.
Alyssia looked down at their dead bodies coldly and said. "You should have just let it go once you knew that the first attempt had failed. Maybe then you may have gotten away with it."
She looted their bodies to make it look like it had been done by one of the criminals who had escaped from the lawless area and had come across them before she left.
Anyone that had been able to get away had to make it to the docks so many were killed by wild beasts but those who survived had been beaten by the sea creatures, Fishmen, Merfolk and Ness.
The rest of those that were captured were either kept to be turned in to the Marines or those that were captured by the people of the capital would either be put to death or they would become slaves or prisoners for the nobility.
As Alfred handled the final discussion with the king's messengers, Alyssia continued the cleanup work before returning to the sunken castle.
She petted the large white snake and then passed by it to find the two children which were sleeping. "You did a good job protecting them. Thank you Ghost."
Ghost flicked her tongue and her eyes displayed her happiness. "Hiss."
She continued to look over her two children. "You have both grown up well, sleep well my babies."
When facing her children, Alyssia became gentle and soft unlike how she looked in front of others.
Xena and Yao had been in the world for less than a year but she had witnessed many of their firsts whether it be being able to lift or control their own head, their first smiles and their first laugh during the first couple of months.
Xena seemed to show the fastest development when it came to emotions and learning ability while Yao adapted quicker to more physical tasks but since they were already advanced in physique, their firsts often came before the average baby.
In the four to six month period of time, they had already been rolling, sitting up, grabbing objects and teething.
Xena had started babbling often in an attempt to speak which was becoming clearer everyday but she was quite lazy when it came to learning to crawl and attempting to stand.
Although she had a strong secondary skeleton within her body and enhancements from Germa, she was still a little slower to adapt to her movements than her brother who had better animal instincts than her and was faster at learning how to use his body.
Unlike humans, most animals learn to walk very early after their birth and it was the same with Yao which allowed him a quicker learning speed for those things since he possessed mostly animal and Sulong characteristics over his human side while Xena was more on the human side with her animal side being far less, especially in appearance.
It had been four to five months during the original timeline before the time-skip of the original and a couple more of months had passed since then which allowed the two babies of hers to grow up a little.
In between her harsh training, research and personal tasks, she still found time for her children and pampered them endlessly.
She loved the small mystical looking white kangaroo baby and found him lovable while she found the little fox girl baby especially cute to the point of wanting to constantly pinch her little cheeks.
Standing over them, she restrained herself and then returned to her research to go over some of the results that had been achieved by the scientists while she was away.
When everyone had returned, Alyssia waited for the time that K1 woke up and when it had, it inserted the port metal needle into a large metal object which started making noise after Alyssia had given the order. "Good job K1."
K1's red neon light eyes lit up and it started to respond with even more emotion than before. "You are making me blush master!"
Alyssia rolled her eyes. "So you know how to blush now?"
K1 shook its small head and replied. "K1 is metal so K1 cannot blush but K1 can still feel embarrassment and feelings of joy."
Alyssia sighed. "Alright, I want a copy of any of the updated information on your new system. Have it all prepared and sorted out neatly so that I can begin studying it. It is very important."
K1 nodded. "Yes master! Arranging the data and you will have it very soon! Please provide additional power to support the large task."
Alyssia started channelling her Electro into the body of K1 who was connected to the large object which was making noise.
A little while later, the large object started to make more noise and started spitting out a piece of paper one after another with a large amount of freshly printed information on it.
With the combination of printer technology and K1, she was able to gain access to other computers and take away everything that she needed then print it out so that she could study it herself.
Right away she started studying many of the space science subjects along with different types of technology but she found one subject which was very beneficial to her own growth but was not that urgent.
