Leviathan's Maw was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
The Tempest caught wind of the escape plan and sailed her fleet to crush the stranded. Kassandra sailed out to meet the fleet head-on.
Following the execution of the escape plan, Kassandra watched the Tempest's fleet draw closer to the merchant ships.
(or)
Kassandra dove from the cliff, swam to the Adrestia, and climbed aboard.
Kassandra took the helm and ordered the crew to their battle stations. They sailed the ship north into the fleet's range and unleashed the full power of the Adrestia, sinking them to the bottom of the sea.
Barnabas spotted the Skylla coming into range along with two trireme.
The Adrestia moved to engage the Skylla and the accompanying Order ships as a more literal raging tempest swept in.
Though they began the battle without the Chimera's Breath, Kassandra and the crew bought Barnabas the time he needed to complete the weapon and render it safe for use.
Kassandra sailed the Adrestia to intercept one of the support ships and opened fire with the Chimera's Breath. The flames consumed the ship with little effort.
Barnabas cackled with glee at their glorious new weapon.

While Kassandra sank the support ships, the Skylla fired several well-timed volleys and damaged the Adrestia.
After sinking its supporting ships, the Adrestia rammed the Skylla with full force.
Ramming the Skylla also put the Adrestia in the ideal position to sweep the Chimera's Breath across the entire deck from bow to stern. The flames tore through the ship and dealt considerable damage to its hull.
Eventually, Kassandra won the naval duel, rending the Skylla inoperable. As the Skylla sunk, the Tempest washed ashore along with her surviving men. On the cliff above, a guard of the Order of the Ancients took stock of her failure. The Tempest dragged herself to her feet as a civilian rushed forward to check on her.

A soldier drew his sword and waved off the civilian. He continued to look down at her.
The soldier thrust his sword into the civilian's abdomen, killing him. The Tempest looked up at the Order guard, filled with rage at her defeat.
The other civilians ran off scared as she stumbled from the shoreline. They stopped and turned to face the approaching Kassandra.

The Order guard repositioned himself, while Darius stalked him from behind a nearby tree. Kleta joined Kassandra on the beach.
The Tempest gasped at the sight of her mother.
Kassandra was shocked to learn Phila was the same as her.

The Tempest turned away from her mother.

Kleta slowly approached her daughter while the Spartan soldier next to her stood menacingly with a firm grip on his sword.
Before the Tempest could reply, the Spartan swiftly slashed her across the torso. Phila gasped in horror.

Phila flew into a rage and killed both of the Spartan soldiers with two swings of her sword. She sheathed her sword, and Kassandra sheathed her spear. Phila crouched down to hold her mother. Kleta briefly regained consciousness.
Kleta slipped out of consciousness again.

Phila began to cry, then her tears turned to rage directed at Kassandra.
Kassandra held out her right hand beckoning her to calm down, but re-armed her spear in her left.
Phila drew her sword and prepared to kill Kassandra.
Despite Phila killing the two Spartan soldiers already, she was one of Kassandra's most formidable opponents by herself.
Kassandra critically wounded the Tempest, and she laughed it off.

The Tempest let out a war cry and prepared to battle. The Tainted Ones drew their weapons as Kleta got out of harm's way.

Kassandra dispatched the two Spartan soldiers that survived with the Tempest, then turned her full attention to her.
On the outskirts of the battle, Kleta continued pleading with her daughter.
Kassandra critically wounded the Tempest, and she laughed it off.
The two Tainted Ones exhausted each other, but the Tempest was significantly more wounded. She dropped her blade and struggled to remain standing. Darius sent the Order guard tumbling behind her. She looked at him and collapsed to her knees as he picked up her blade. The Order guard clutched his side.
The Tempest attempted to rise, but fell back to her knees.

He held the blade's hilt towards her. Phila glanced at Darius in agreement, rose, and took up her blade. She faced the Order guard, but couldn't take more than two steps towards him before staggering once more. The Order guard clutched his side and ran away.

Phila dropped her sword tip-first into the sand and staggered to her mortally wounded mother.
Kleta could barely open her eyes, but managed to speak to her daughter one last time.

Kleta's life could not hold out long enough to finish her sentence. Phila shook her head and collapsed next to her mother, succumbing to her own wounds.
Natakas approached Kassandra and Darius.
Natakas and Darius took their leave with Kassandra following close behind. As the rain continued, Kassandra lamented the deaths of Kleta and Phila, but took solace in them going to the Ferryman together.
Kleta ran forward, and Phila collapsed for the final time.

Day broke, and Kassandra crouched down by the water to set the toy boat sailing into the sea, acknowledging that in death, Phila was freed of her burdens.
Kassandra defeated Phila, ending the Order of the Storm's activities in Achaia.
