Once
home, Aria beings her search for her father and chases him into the
tunnels of the Underground city where she finds a godling and her father attacks while she is distracted. His bullet lodges in Aria's chest but her flying sword kills him. The godling in the shadows saves Aria but does something to her that Aria might find worse than death itself.
The godling who saved Aria
takes her to his home. When she wakes up he makes her an offer she can hardly refuse with no place to go, and funds to help him in his research which isn't much different from what the Atharim already do.
Ascendancy made an announcement that
turns the world upside down and Aria uses her given wallet to arrange a meeting that will either end her life or change it irrevocably.
After a breif encounter with Manix and Jaxen warning them both of the dangers of the Bacarrat mansion she heads into the
lion's den to make her final report on Ascendancy and goad Martin with the death of her father. While waiting for the Regus to be free a friendly spar is had.
Aria's power
comes back and finds out Dane is nearby.
The showdown begins.. Aria lead the Regus and Martin to the hidden entrance and the Regus summons an Ijiraq to do his buiding. After parting ways with the myst creature the three Atharim descend into the depths of hell where they turn their new hightech weapons against the walls of Ascendancy's home. The Ascendancy's first blow to the walls upon a break in the ijiraq's feed sends the three Atharim flying into the surrounding walls but giving them a clear view of the Ascendancy. Aria gives Marcus the key to defeating the Ijiraq and betrays the Atharim in the process - the regus attacks her only to be ripped away by the now freed Ascendancy. Martin takes aim and fires into the Ascendancy. Aria enjoys the moment that she slips her sword between the ribs of Martin's body leaving him gasping for air before she collapses into unconsciousness.

In the
Aftermath of the battle, Aria is taken to the hospital where she tells her story repeatedly before Jensen James heals her. Healing what Manix took from her in the process. Giving Aria a new outlook on her gift.
Upon returning to the
Kremlin on orders of the Ascendancy Aria wanders the building hoping for a distraction. Only to find that Ascendancy wants her to hunt down the Regus much the same as she had done to him. But their first task is to find
headquarters and the Regus if he's there.
