Born during a volcanic eruption that separated her from her birth parents, Alana struggles to overcome her innate anger by smashing opponents in the kickboxing ring. Her rage is put to good use when she realizes she is a reincarnation of Asih, a fighter-goddess bent on restoring balance to the world.
