Della let out a heavy sigh as she stepped quickly through the halls of the Academy doing her best to keep her expression as friendly as possible whenever students were nearby, no matter how angry she was she knew better than to let it effect how the students of the Academy viewed her, many were probably still quite worried that the new Academy was just some sort of ruse that would be later revealed to be the same sort of institution as the Arena had been and giving off the vibe of being easily angered or as vicious as Vespasian was NOT something she needed. Thankfully the bulk of the student base was either actively in training at the moment or were out on the Academy grounds leaving the halls not particularly busy.
The fact that much of her prospective student base was likewise not able to actually GET to the Academy as well played no small role in the diminished number of students in the hall, a problem that would soon enough be resolved. Della grit her teeth at that thought, as she realized a very major problem, her current intentions were to take the Ashtur to Earth and attempt to resolve whatever idiotic conflict going on there before things got too bad but in doing so she would have to put the plans to relocate the Academy on hold. It would be too dangerous to have the move be done without being present herself.
Finally reaching her personal quarters Della slipped through the door hastily closing it behind her and locking it to ensure that she would not be disturbed, once safely inside Della let out a roar of fury and let her power flow freely causing the entire room to tremble, thankfully No had designed her quarters to be one of the most resilient rooms in the Academy, on par with the training rooms themselves in the event that Della needed somewhere to vent her anger without anyone else around. The sound proofing as well did a wonderful job of keeping everyone from hearing her frustration.
Things were not going well, not going well AT ALL. Sure she had theoretically obtained two allies but at the same time it appeared that there was a very good chance that someone she had believed to be a good friend was betraying her right at this very moment. Della wanted nothing more than for this whole thing to be a VERY big misunderstanding but her gut knew otherwise. Whatever was going on on Earth, be it directly involving Akassa or not was going to be a big problem between them. "Hey Del" Della let out a low sigh at the familiar voice and let her power finally cool down and subside as she turned to face No
"Sorry to interrupt but there is something I should probably bring to your attention." Della did not verbally respond rather she gave No a look of 'what could it possibly be now' "There is rather powerful energy signature making it's way to the Academy accompanied by a lower energy signature, my sensors indicate that it is neither Ninjin nor Zasham from what data I received from the comm, and it does not belong to any of your friends from Earth that I am aware of either." Della let out another heavy sigh and expanded her energy sense as far as she could searching for the energy signature in question, what she found caused a loud groan of frustration from the normally composed Academy Headmistress "Not a friend?" No questioned "I'm not entirely sure. But it is yet another case of the dead not knowing how to stay dead. First Ninjin Hattori. Now her." Della muttered "Keep the Academy defenses ready, prepare for a Alpha level situation at a moments notice, no offense, pure evacuation and defense of the students." What few specific defensive plans No and Della had for the Academy were primarily focused on dangers that might arise while Della was away, potential enemies seeking to damage the Academy, most involved the organization of the students to be brought somewhere safe while the staff held back or defeated the intruder. The only exception was an 'Alpha' level situation, something that demanded Della's direct attention, the intrusion of a warrior or monster with power comparable to the Headmistress herself, two scenarios existed for this sort of intrusion, one where the staff continued to attempt to hinder the enemy, or one where the entire focus was on getting the students AND staff to somewhere safe.

Azazel and Silitha made their way to Della’s Academy that she now was the head of. She hoped that Della would not try to do anything hasty upon her arrival at her Academy. Azazel only wanted to speak to the person that was the soul reason Azazel was able to find Silitha again. Azazel was sure that Della would have questions as to why Azazel had seeked her out. Or even why her last words were thank you to her when they were fighting for their lives.
“Are you sure that going to see this person is the best idea sister? From what you have told me your last encounter did not end well. Are you sure that she isn’t going to act with violence when she sees you?” Silitha asked looking up to her sister.
“There are some things that I need to tell her about our last interaction. Also I do not think she is going to act with violence against me. If she has students here, she isn’t going to risk their lives just to attack me. Besides I am not here with violent intent. I am merely here to speak with her.” Azazel said to her sister
As Azazel continued to walk she entered the building known as The Academy. It resembled the temple that lied atop the Lookout on Earth. Even though Della was thousands upon thousands of miles away from Earth. She still remembered the place that she wanted to protect. Azazel knew that she would protect this place with her life, just like she would have done the Lookout. Looking around she could tell this was a place of learning.
“Azazel I think we should wait here for this Della to find us. I do not think she would want us walking around her Academy trying to find her.” Silitha said
“I think that would be best as I do not know the layout of this building. Perhaps waiting here would be best for us. I am sure Della is already on her way here as we speak and I am sure that she was set up defensives as soon as she felt my power.” Azazel said to her sister.
Azazel would stand in place and wait for Della to come find her. She had no doubt that her old “friend” was on her way here. Azazel moved Silitha behind her, protecting her sister just incase if something were to happen when Della made her presence known.

No vanished from Della's view after nodding, normally she would have been all jokes and fun but the artificial woman could tell that it was perhaps best to just get the staff prepared for the potential danger to come and simply let Della have her time to prepare, she was under no small amount of stress already considering the problems with Earth and Akassa so allowing her the time to get ready to deal with a possible additional problem was for the best.
Della let out a heavy sigh as No vanished, she really had no idea what to expect from Azazel. There last encounter had very clearly placed them against one another and Azazel had proved both a powerful enough opponent and a big enough threat in Della's eyes that she needed to use lethal force against her, unlike her removal of Vespasian and plans to kill Prometheus Della had not been particularly fond of the idea of killing Azazel, she had been standing in defense of the Earth and had seemingly just been a bit overwhelmed by her surge of power.
Killing Azazel had bothered Della, it had in her mind been necessary certainly, the woman had threatened the Lookout and by extension everyone on it, but with Azazel not quite thinking right and Della knowing full well exactly how that worked having dealt with the very same sort of flood of violent and angry emotion after the first time she had transformed. What had made thing even more perplexing had been Azazel's last words, she had thanked her and for what Della did not know. Perhaps now she would have a chance to find out what Azazel had meant.
Exiting her quarters once again Della took a step into the hall and then quite suddenly was rushing through the halls at a pace far faster than anyone else in the building was capable of perceiving, her shunpo was second only to her manifestation when it came to useful techniques out of a fight as it allowed her to traverse the entirety of the Academy in moments something that while she did not normally make excessive use of as she rather enjoyed seeing the students and occasionally dropping in on an active training session. But in times such as this were why her shupo was exceptional.
Once outside the Academy itself Della took to the sky and her form burst into flame as she initiated her more advanced form of the shunpo, the Phoenix Wing a far more effective technique for rapid sky-based travel. Della had during her trip through the Academy contemplated shifting herself into a more battle-ready form, bringing forth her scales, initiating the four arms technique, and taking out the Staff of one and the Dragon Shield in an effort to show just how serious she was about defending the Academy if Azazel's intentions were at all a threat to it.
But in doing so she would potentially be making it appear that she WANTED a fight and risked having Azazel make an attack first in defense of whoever was with her. Instead of coming in 'guns blazing' Della decided it best to simply arrive at Azazel's position in her normal attire but without and restriction on power outside of the power limiting weighted bands she wore, those could be easily disabled if necessary.
Della's fiery form would tear through the sky stopping far enough from Azazel and her companion to show that Della was not here to initiate a fight once close enough Della's form would condense back into its proper shape. "Hello Azazel, it is quite a surprise to see you here. What brings you here?" Della questioned every word rather genuine as Della WAS quite surprised to see Azazel and very much did want to know what brought her here. As she awaited the other woman’s response Della took a moment to look Azazel and her companion over curious to see who had accompanied Azazel to this meeting.

The two demonesses stood their ground as they waited for the arrival of Dela. Azazel began to wonder what Dela was going to look like after all of this time. She also wondered how she found herself here and was not on the Lookout. The building that she swore to protect from Kemuri and from Azazel herself when she threatened it. It was clear that Silitha was getting bored waiting for this person to arrive, but the child was going to have to sit tight a little while longer.
“How much longer are we going to be standing here Azazel? Is this person going to be here soon? I am getting tired of standing around here waiting for someone that I don’t even know. She better show up soon, I want to go back and talk with Ninjin some more.” Silitha said looking up at her sister.
“She is on her way Silitha, it will only be a few more minutes before she arrives. Since she is the master of this Academy I am sure she would protect it. Even though I am not here for a confrontation, I am sure she is going to expect one.” Azazel replied to Silitha
As Azazel looked up she was a fiery figure ripping through the sky. The person that they were waiting for had finally arrived. It had been a long time since Azazel had seen Dela in person. The last time she had given up her life in order to locate her family. Azazel was only here to speak with the genie. She stated that it was a surprise to see her here today. Azazel knew that it was going to surprise Dela. She then asked what brought her here today.
“There are a few things that bring me here today Dela. It has been a long time since we have seen each other. I am sure that you recall our last little encounter back on Earth those several months ago.” Azazel said to Dela.
“Is this the person that we have been waiting here for all this time Azazel? Who is she anyways?” Silitha asked
“Yes Silitha, this is the person that is responsible for allowing me the chance to find you once again. You see Dela, I am sure you remember the last words that I said to you when you took my life. I thanked you. You were the one that allowed me to find my family.” Azazel explained to Dela.
Azazel began to walk around, looking at the Academy. “I am curious to find out how you found yourself here Dela? Is this where you went after our encounter on Earth? I am interested to find out what you have been up to since our little fight. Oh and another question, were you in the fight that happened with Zasham, Zex and Wrath.” Azazel asked turning her attention to Dela.

Of all the ways that Della had expected Azazel to respond to her arrival the exceptionally casual manner in which she spoke was rather far down the list, it was clear enough that Azazel had been expecting this sort of response, maybe even expecting something a bit more forceful, but with Della's lack of overtly hostile action the other woman seemed comfortable enough to act in an entirely casual and even friendly manner with her.
"I do, it would be rather difficult to forget that day." Della said allowing her energy to relax somewhat and reigning in the inferno around her until it returned to its active but still relaxed state, he eyes briefly fell onto the young woman accompanying Azazel rather curious as to who she was. The answer to that particular question came swiftly as Azazel spoke up once again reminding Della of her last words and then explaining them, her death had evidently allowed her to reunite with her family of whom Silitha was almost certainly a member.
Despite herself Della's expression softened at the thought of Azazel reuniting with her family in the afterlife she knew little about Azazel personally but was quite aware of how it felt to know that many if not of your loved ones were beyond your reach in the afterlife and the fact that in death Azazel could find them gave Della no small amount of hope that whenever she finally passed that she could do the same.
Azazel quickly turned the conversation to questions about Della, how she had gotten here, when she had departed Earth, and if she had witnessed the fight between Zasham and the Zex brothers. The first two questions were not entirely unexpected but the last was a very curious one as it meant that Azazel had a bit more information about the goings on of Omega than Della would have expected.
"Not immediately after our fight, I had a few things to wrap up on Earth before I took to the stars. After I left Earth I found Omega, more specifically Alpha Prime and Gamma. The people needed help, I provided it, I eventually decided to make my brief stop into a longer stay to help more." Della explained leaving off quite a bit for the time being and keeping what she did give somewhat vague.
"As for if I was in the fight between Promethus and Zasham, no I was not. I watched the fight but did not participate directly. I imagine it is easy enough to assume a fight occurred between Zasham and the Zex brothers but what lead you to wondering if I was present?"
"And more importantly how is it that you are here. You are not the first person I have met who has found there way back from Other world and I am curious as to how people are managing to slip back from the other side when so many generally stay there." Della questioned very much interested in the answer to that question, she had intended to speak with Ninjin about this but receiving an answer in some form from Azazel might provide additional information on the subject.

Dela said that she remembered that day. Stating that it would be rather difficult to forget that day as a lot happened between the two of them. Azazel and Silitha listened to Dela explain the things she had done after their Earth encounter. Dela had remained on Earth for a short time after, stating that she had some business to finish up before departing. That is when she found herself here on Alpha Prime and the Gamma Slums. Two places that Azazel was familiar with in her time here during the Galactic Tournament. Dela explained that she wanted to help the people here, which is why her short stay has turned into a longer one.
“She likes to help people as well Azazel, I would not have guessed that by her demeaner so far.” Silitha said to Azazel
“Back then we shared a similar trait, wanting to help/protect the people of Earth and others. She has seemed to stretch her care for people to other places, while mine has contracted to my family. Good to know that hasn’t changed about her.” Azazel explained to her sister
Next Dela went onto explain her role in the fight that took place between Zasham and Zex. She apparently watched the fight and took no part in it directly. That is when she asked why Azazel was curious to know if she was in the fight with Zasham. A questioned that she would have answered soon, once she was done asking all her other questions. That is when she asked the question that no doubt others would ask once she meet them again.
Dela was curious to find out exactly how Azazel found her way from the other world as Zasham had put it earlier. All Azazel could do is smile at the question. It isn’t really hard to come back if you know the ways to get out like she does. “As for your first question I was speaking with Ninjin much earlier and asked him where you were. He was the one that told me you were on Alpha and was also the one who first told me about the fight.” Azazel explained pausing for a moment
“Are you going to tell her how you came back from Hell Sister? Do you think she really needs to know that piece of information? I think it would be better if we kept that to ourselves and let her figure it out on her own.” Silitha said to Azazel
“As for me coming back to life this is something I am going to have to explain to others as well if I meet them again. Since you were the one that took my life and helped me I believe it is fair for me to answer this question.” Azazel explained “It really isn’t that hard to come back once you are killed. At least that is how I see it. Once all my business was done in Hell and the relationship I had built with the ruler of Hell The Warden. The Warden opened up a portal for me and allowed me to leave.” Azazel would wait a few moments before continuing on, giving Dela a few moments to process.
“It may sound too simple to be true. The hard part is proving yourself to the Warden and becoming one of his students. Learn from him then you can leave, or you can always try to find the exit. As for the so many others that die and do not come back, I guess it is personal choice. Most don’t even get the Wardens attention or look for centuries to find the exit. As for Heaven, I do not know how it works up there.” Azazel said finishing her brief explanation
“Any other questions Miss Dela?” Silitha said

Della blinked in surprise as Azazel began to explain how it was that she had managed to return from the afterlife and rather casually mentioned that she had been sent to hell, the woman seemed to not think much of informing her that she had been a resident of that half of the afterlife but perhaps that had to do with what Azazel was, it was rather obvious from their fight that Azazel was some form of demon, Della had met such entities before so identifying them was a bit easier especially when there form was so overtly demonic. By all accounts it had not seemed like Azazel had been a bad person before her death so perhaps her nature had influenced where she had gone?
Della’s curiosity on why Azazel had gone to hell was cut off as Azazel explained that actually getting back from the afterlife was apparently not particularly difficult at least when it came to Hell, one only needed to build a positive relationship with ‘The Warden’ and he would be likely to open up a portal to allow you access to the living world and on top of that it was possible to find an exit if one was persistent enough even without the aid of The Warden. This information did little to put Della at ease especially as Azazel knew nothing of how Heaven functioned, was it really possible that it was easy to escape Hell? To escape what Della understood to be a place intended to punish the wicked after death?
What sort of entity was the Warden; by what methods did he decide who he would allow back to the world of the living? Azazel was in spite of everything not necessarily a bad person; Della was still fairly certain much of the problem that had been created between that was a result of Azazel’s sudden transformation. “Not to say that I do not necessarily believe you as clearly you ARE back from the dead, you are not even the first person I have met with that has accomplished such a feat. But it bothers me that it is so simple to escape a place like Hell. For your case it is not a particularly negative thing that your freedom was easily gained but there are many people who should remain where they were sent. Arctic, Vespasian.” Della paused as she was about to mention the Zex brothers but there was actually a very real possibility that neither brother had actually made it to the afterlife depending on how it was that Zasham had integrated them into himself. “And others. “
Della maintained a look of slight frustration as she attempted to process everything that Azazel had informed her of and the implications that it held, this more or less confirmed that she most definitely needed to have a talk with Ninjin, she had now learned that Hell was evidently rather easy to escape which meant it likely was best to speak with the only other person she knew to have returned from the dead and conveniently had done so from the other half of the Afterlife. "By what sort of criteria does one have to 'prove' themselves to this Warden?" perhaps there was some sort of need for redemption? That would certainly go a long way towards easing Della's worries and also explain how easy it was for Azazel if Della's assumptions on her character were correct.

Azazel listened to Dela speak, it was obvious that it was hard to believe everything that Azazel was telling her. Azazel had no reason to lie to Dela about what had happened to her. She was the one that helped her the most out of everyone that she asked help for. Weather she knew that or not, which she probably didn’t. Which wouldn’t be a surprise to Azazel as the two never really talked at all and their only interaction was fighting to the death. Azazel understood her concern whith how easy it seemed to get out of Hell. So Azazel would give her a little more detail of exactly how it worked.
Dela asked about the criteria that one needed to do to prove themselves to the warden. That she didn’t have an answer too. But she hoped she could explain it a little better with what she was about to tell her.
“It is true that once you have learned from the Warden he can open a portal. But he doesn’t give his time to everyone. There are plenty of people that try to get him to teach them and they are ignored. I am sure the people you mentioned like Arctic and Vespasian, they will remain in Hell. So will Kemuri, I doubt those individuals will be making at all. They had their time here and now they are done.” Azazel said hoping this straitened it out more for Dela
Azazel took a moment before continuing to speak. “As far as I know the Warden specifically chooses people that he wants to help. I also believe that what I have explained to you works the same way for Heaven as well. I have spoken with Ninjin about the matter and learned what he saw there.” Azazel paused a second.
“It is exactly opposite how Hell is. Ninjin said it was a beautiful place to see.” Silitha said with a big smile on her face. The younger demoness had taken a step in front of Azazel looking dela in the eyes. She was eager to meet all the people that Azazel had interacted with before going to Hell.
“She seems like a nice person Azazel. I am glad she helped you return to me.”[/color] Azazel sad to Silitha telepathically
All Azazel could do was smile at her sisters comment. Her life had been taken in order to find Silitha and the rest of her family. Dela had given her the most help and she would return the favor at some point in time. If Dela needed help with something, she could ask for Azazel to help her. Now she only had to decide if she would tell Dela that or not. I guess it would all depend on what it was that Dela needed help with, if she needed assistance with anything at all.
“But I am sure if you were killed you wouldn’t have to worry about going to Hell. It isn’t like you have done anything that would damn your soul.” Azazel said taking a few steps awawy looking at the surrounding area. Dela had found herself a nice place here, It was good for the people that came to her for training.
(post is kind a crap, sorry)

Della let out a small sigh as Azazel further explained the situation in regards to how people could ‘earn’ the ability to return from death, no matter how difficult it was it still put Della ill at ease that it was possible at all, especially because Azazel described no real criteria by which the Warden determined who was worthy, no need for redeeming oneself for their actions which meant there was a likelihood that it was not even a necessity at all but rather just based upon the whims of the Warden himself. He had sent Azazel and the young one that was almost certainly a member of the family Azazel had reunited with based if nothing else on appearance and how they acted around one another.
But perhaps it was simply in her best interests to not concern herself too much with the problems of the afterlife, if ever someone who –needed- to stay dead came back they would have to be dealt with, again, but until Della found herself in Otherworld there was likely little that she could personally do about the situation. Perhaps if ever she did pass on that would be something she would concern herself with but for now it was a subject best left alone, at least until she had a chance to speak with Ninjin about Heaven, what it was like, and how he had returned.
Della did not bother trying to suppress a smile as the younger makai stepped in front of her elder to speak with Della “Ninjin does not seem the type to lie about such a thing, I imagine in spite of its nature Hell has its own sort of beauty as well. Now I believe you know my name already but I have not had the chance to learn yours, who might you be?” Della said taking herself down to one knee in order to put herself on direct eye level with the young makai. She quite loved interacting with children and while it was certainly possible that this girl was quite a bit older than what many might consider a ‘child’ her demeanor was such that Della had to assume she was one. A brief glance from the girl to Azazel had Della wondering what exactly the relationship between them was, Azazel’s words certainly implied they were family but in what manner? Sisters, niece and aunt? There was a distinct possibility the girl might even be Azazel’s daughter.

The smile that found itself upon Dellas face was the first for Azazel. The demoness figured it had something to do with her younger sister finally stepping out from behind her and speaking about Heaven. The two makaios listened to Dellas words. The two smiled when Della stated that in spite of Hells nature, that it had its own sort of beauty as well. Indeed Hell was a beautiful place…well to some. To others it is a place on nothing more than pain and suffering. Della then spoke directly to Silitha. Both Azazel and SIlitha followed Dellas movements as she took a knee. Getting herself to eye level with SIlitha.
“What do I say to her Azazel? You told me not give my name to people that I don’t know. I know that you two know each other, but really you kind of just used her to kill you so you could find me.” SIlitha said to Azazel
“While that is true Silitha, she is not a dangerous person. You are more then welcome to introduce yourself and say what ever you want to her. She is a nice person. For now you can trust her, she has yet to do anything wrong.” Azazel replied
Getting the ok from her older sister SIlitha looked back at Della who was now eye level with her. “My name is Silitha Moloch, the youngest of the Moloch family. My sister Azazel has told me a little about you as well Della. You were there with her on Earth when she died.” SIlitha said smiling at Della.
Even though Silitha knew about Della and about what happened on Earth between the two. She held no ill contempt towards the women. Because after all it was due to her actions that Azazel was able to find SIlitha in the first place. “Della do you like it here on Alpha Prime? There seem to be a lot of people that Azazel interacted with here. Is this place your home as well?” Silitha asked, having no real rhyme or reason to her questioning. She has started to just ask people any questions that pop into her head. All Azazel could do was smile at her sisters innocence.
Azazel however was more curious to know if Della knew anything about what was going on with Earth. She has been hearing strange reports on events that have taken place there. It seems Saiyans from the Moon have taken over and demanded Earths defenders to kneel before them. To Azazel it seems like some arrogant leader just trying to make a name for themselves. She has not heard of any casualties as of yet, but she knows there are going to be some. That is an inevitable fact in war.
“Della have you heard anything about what is happening on Earth? I have heard some strange things and just want to see if others are hearing the same things I have been.” Azazel asked folding her arms across her chest.
