Alexandra carried Ramiel to their little house that was hidden in the woods, sighing in relief that it didn't really have much damage. With Ramiel increasing the house's structural integrity and all. She put him on a bed and fixed his hair that was covering his face for a bit.
"Nii-sama, don't worry. I'll handle the rest; you can sleep for now." Alexandra put her lips on his forehead and stood up. "Now, what the hell happened? Godo Kisaragi, explanations will not be necessary anymore." She exited the house and flew to Wutai village.
After a few seconds in the air, she crashed at the grounds of Fort Tamblin once again and looked around. She then noticed something was awry, the fort looked like it was attacked. But not the Leviathan, it was too concentrated. Like it was done by humans.
"Hmmm, a civil war? Is that what happened over here?" Alex squinted her eyes and decided to go inside the fort for some answers. After roaming around the place, she got impatient and sent out a pulse of Mako like a sonar.
"Underground? So Godo got captured? What an incompetent man." Alexandra went to the dungeon of the fort and located the leader of Wutai that was sitting in the corner of his cell with his family. "Godo, you continue to surprise us with your incompetence." Alex berated him as he had failed once again to keep his people in control.
"It was a takeover, they most likely planned for this to happen for a long time." Godo reasoned, but of course she won't accept it. "Yet you let it happen, do you have any idea how many lives would be lost due to this event? Our work would all go up in smoke, years of work would be gone in an instant."
Godo didn't have words to refute and knew that he was just grasping at straws. He was the leader of Wutai, everything his subordinates do will reflect onto him. Even if there were other factors at play. "Hah, you are lucky that my brother created something that was able to protect the island." Alexandra bent the iron bars and let them free.
"Does Wutai still stand?" Kasumi was anxious, Wutai is their home and if it was destroyed. Then Yuffie will not be able to see her own home. Forever lost to war and the wrath of their own guardian deity which was ironic.
"Who do you think are we? Of course it stands, a bit of damage here and there. But it is mostly undamaged by our battle. My brother needs this island for his base of operations, we have invested too much time and strength in Wutai. We won't let it get destroyed." Alex sighed and thought it would have been easier to just strong arm the nation.
"Thank you." Kasumi bowed and was thankful to their efforts in preserving Wutai. She then smiled at her daughter, thinking that she will still be able to see Wutai and grow up in her own nation at least.
"What now then? Will Shinra occupy Wutai now?" Godo had a sour look on his face and Alexandra scoffed. "You think we will give this island to them? This place is ours now, they will most likely see us as a threat too. Our battle isn't exactly modest, numerous islands sunk as collateral. We didn't even aim for them, that's how destructive it is." Alex shrugged and the couple was horrified.
"Numerous islands you say? But that shouldn't be possible, there shouldn't be enough magic and energy for the guardian deity to display its full power." Godo frowned and was thankful that Wutai managed to survive.
"I see, it had an abundance of energy. Most likely due to a high source, the lifestream maybe? No matter, we have already taken care of it, tell me where is the idiot that needs to get their head lopped off?" Alexandra squinted her eyes and Godo sighed.
"He is most likely already dead, the Leviathan is the guardian deity of Wutai for a reason. It probably got offended by the summoner's desire for war and bloodshed." Godo explained and Alexandra clicked her tongue, but she could accept that. A fitting end for a fool she thought.
"Then you will be our officer in charge here, expect to see a shipment of goods and people here in Wutai. An all-out war will most likely begin against Shinra. Midgar will be a battlefield, a lot of homeless people will be sent here until we can rebuild." Alexandra reminded him and Godo nodded.
"We will need people to rebuild Wutai anyway, that will be fine. Your protection for the island might have prevented it from sinking, but I imagine it would be quite chaotic due to the damages." Godo sighed and Kasumi chuckled.
"Don't worry Godo, Wutai will live. That is what's important." Kasumi comforted him as he was going to be buried with work due to the restoration effort. "Tch, quit flirting in front of me. It pisses me off, stupid Leviathan. Cutting my time with my brother."
Alexandra left the place and Kasumi had an idea to make Alexandra's mood better. "What are you planning Kasumi? I don't like that look on your face." Godo got anxious as he didn't want to interact with Alexandra as much as they could. She was a bit too headstrong and volatile.
"Shush, it's because you're a man. You don't understand what she's dealing with. I'll give her something that will surely make her happy." Kasumi began scheming and Godo broke into a cold sweat.

Genesis and Angeal were still shell shocked with their battle, leading the civilians with the other troops of Wutai. Their spirits broken as their guardian deity rampaged throughout their nation. And their undefeatable guardian was defeated by the commanders of Shinra. Leaving no room for thoughts of rebelling or fighting further.
"Did you see their fight in its full glory Angeal? I was right, the commander is the gift of the goddess. He can go toe to toe with godlike beings just like that summon!" Genesis was excited and he thought that one of the characters in his poem was real.
"I did, they're on whole other level altogether. I don't think any 1st class SOLDIER can live up to their strength and glory." Angeal went into a deep thought and wondered if they could ever reach that level as a warrior.
"Don't worry, Angeal. The commander is training us… I know we can reach their level, or near it at least!" Genesis slapped him on the back and was burning with determination to train further.
"You're right, we were a part of that fight too. We did help protect Wutai with Bismarck." Angeal smiled and a woman approached them. "Hello, you know Ramiel and Alexandra right?" Kasumi went up to them as she heard their talk that they were close enough to the two.
"Yeah?" Angeal raised a brow and Kasumi gave them a box. "Can you give this to Alexandra, it's thanks for all the help they gave Wutai. It would have been destroyed by our guardian deity after all if they didn't step in." Kasumi smiled and Genesis inspected the contents of the box.
"Clothes? Angeal… Can you give this to the Alexandra?" Genesis frowned as he was sure that she would make fun of him or something for just livestreaming.
"Wha? Why me?" Angeal felt betrayed as they were still getting a feel for Alexandra, they weren't awfully close with her. "Thank you for your help, please do tell me if she is pleased with it." Kasumi left and Angeal's head drooped while he was holding the box.
"Bye! I'm needed over there!" Genesis left his friend behind, betraying him completely. "Hah, I guess I should prepare myself." Angeal went to their house as Ramiel told them where it was located in case of emergencies.
After a few minutes of travelling through the forests, Angeal arrived at the front of the house and gulped. He knocked at the door and it opened, spooking him a bit. "Umm, Alexandra-san?" Angeal broke into a cold sweat as he knew that Ramiel was resting right now.
"What? You better make sure that what you're reporting is important." Alexandra squinted her eyes at Angeal and he presented the box, wanting to bail immediately. "Umm, someone told me to give this to you."
Alex raised a brow and pointed her attention to the box. "I'll leave then, please tell us if the commander is fine." He bolted out of there and Alexandra sighed. "Hah, who would give us a gift of all things?" She opened it once she checked for traps. And what she saw first was a letter.
"Kasumi?" Alex read it and it was instructions how to put it on. "Clothes from Wutai, huh?" She then blushed when she saw the last sentence, Kasumi cheering her on with her brother. "So… So shameless, that woman." She huffed, but she took the clothes and started wearing them. (pic)
"Hmmm, do I look cute in these?" She stood in front of a mirror and checked if she looked okay. "I think so." She heard Ramiel's voice that was looking at her with a smile. She froze and started breathing exercises so she could calm down.
"R-really?" Alex twirled around and showed her outfit to him. "Umu, a great way to wake up really. My cute little sister wearing a kimono. It suits you." He gave a thumbs up and Alexandra's mood instantly got better.
"Hehehe~ Is that so? Then brush my hair, you haven't completed your duty yet." She demanded and he gave a wry smile. "Fineee~ I guess you want to work me to death don't you?" Ramiel took her hair brush and patted the side of the bed so she could sit there.
"Like you will, come on." She sat beside him and hummed a tune. "Now that I think about it, we have some spare time before we return to Midgar. I'll teach you how to play an instrument, maybe it will calm you down whenever I'm away." He chuckled and Alex puffed her cheeks at him.
He began brushing her hair again and Alexandra relaxed, in a pretty good mood. "Nii-sama… Don't you want things to be like this forever?" She was satisfied with how they're spending time now and wanted it to last.
"Then I need to work extra hard huh? Don't worry, let's go visit the others in Nibelheim too. I'm sure they've missed us a lot." Ramiel chuckled and Alexandra closed her eyes, enjoying their time together.
