Attack on the Frostbourne Castle

During the Nether War, the Wither Angels independently attacked the Frostbourne Castle. Most of the army was away fighting the Nether Empire. Seeking vengeance against Azura for her actions in "Wings of Salvation", the Angels overwhelmed the scarce defenses she had managed to rally. Their respective leaders, Kaia and Azura, disappeared into a Nether Portal for a skirmish early in the battle. Pushed back to the castle's residential area, the Frostbourne defeated the Wither Angels with civilian support. 
The battle was depicted in "We are the Danger XL" and "You Can Do Better". The attack marked the first time Nether forces had bypassed the Frostbourne's natural, climatic defenses. Kaia and Azura's fight ended with Kaia's defeat and the destruction of one of the four end crystals, which Kaia brought with her to battle. The end crystal and Kaia's Nether Star supernaturally collided, causing a magic shock wave to resonate throughout the Nether, leading to Abigail Crysteffor's resurrection. 
== Background ==
After Kaia and two of her Wither Angels steal an End Crystal from the Port City, Kaia defies The Nether Kings orders to bring the crystal back to the Nether. Kaia Instead decides to launch an attack on the Frostbourne Castle to lure out Azura in hopes of getting revenge on her for her slaying of several Wither Angels at the Floating Isles. As Kaia and her army of Wither Angels make there way to the castle, Azura scrounges together whatever forces she can to defend the capital.
== Battle ==
After Kaia arrives, she signals for her forces to rain down on the defending Frostbourne. However the Wither Angels suffer significant immediate casualties, as many of them are shot down by manned Turrets and Frostbourne Archers, as well as Azura, Maya , Flint, and Jiggs wiping the floor with any Angels they engage with. As the battle rages the Frostbourne continue to maintain the upper hand before a soldier manning one of the turrets is killed, providing increased clearance for several Angels to land and engage the defenders in close quarters combat. Kaia eventually manages to catch Azura's attention, as she goes though a portal into the Nether with the crystal. After reassurance from Flint that the Frostbourne can handle the remaining Wither Angels, Azura follows her through the portal.
Soon after Azura left, Flint and the rest of the defending forces were pushed back to the residential area, with reinforcements from both sides arriving to massively increasing the scale of the conflict. Across the areal front of the battle, Wither Angels are forced to contend with archer and manned turret fire from the Frostbourne Castle, while the rest of their forces contend with numerous Frostbourne soldiers on the ground. 
Flint and his allies continue to fight to their best ability, dishing out numerous casualties to the Wither Angel forces, before Flint himself is overwhelmed and knocked down by one of the Wither Angels. Luckily for him, he is saved by an old friend, a hitwoman known as Ava O'neill, who arrives leading a small Frostbourne division to push back the wither angels. A handful of civilians, as well as several additional frostbourne soldiers join the battle as well, hoping to tip the scale in favor of the Frostbourne in the process. These reinforcements prove critical in turning the tide of the battle, eventually leading to the remaining wither angels being forced to withdraw, leaving victory in the hands of the Frostbourne. 
== Into The Nether ==
As Azura flies through the Nether, she locates the crystal and flys over to it. However, before she can take it she is ambushed by Kaia who flies into her and kicks her in the stomach, which sends her flying. The two engage in a duel but Kaia, using nether portals, disables her wingsuit, sending her to the ground. However the downed Azura fires her gun at her blade, activating it and sending it flying at Kaia, cutting off her arm in the process. Azura gets up and charges at Kaia with her other blade, continuing the duel. Eventually, Azura doges one of Kaia's flying attacks, and follows up with a stab through the chest. 
== Aftermath ==
However, as Azura moves to retrieve the End crystal, the Piglin Wilburr steals it. Before Azura can to gun him down, she gets tackled by a piglin, leading to her shot missing and hitting the End Crystal instead of Wilburr. This leads to the crystal combining with the Nether Star that came out of Kaia's body, sending a shockwave across the nether that destroys both the crystal and the nether star, along with reviving Abigail Crysteffor.
